As someone with essential tremors, I relate SO HARD!! You have NO IDEA how many times I've had my car searched by police for "acting suspiciously nervous" even though I always immediately explain my tremors because I've gotten so used to being interrogated about it. It's ridiculous what ppl will assume about you.
Actually I remember a story just like that. The owner had come by one his small chain stores. The employee followed him around while pretending not to. Then when he was done looking and decided to see if the manager was able to talk she outright and loudly accused him of theft. The craziest part today miss you are a thief is the owner's wife. He married her. No clue why the story never said.
@@theresahall8206 yes! I remember that story. I was annoyed at how many commenters thought it was a cute story. Like, no, she was super brash in a store in which she wasn't even a manager. In most other stories she would have been fired.
@@mysteryfan15 yeah I thought it was crazy that he married her after she accused him in public of being a thief and tried to ban him. I would have fired her. Besides the I'm not following you trick is the worst. It screams I think you are a thief even if you aren't doing anything wrong!
That last story. Imagine needing change for the register only for someone thinking you need help. Bless her heart even if her head isn’t screwed on tightly.
Love those southern-isms. Depending on tone of voice “bless his/her/your heart” can mean anything from “I feel bad for you” to “you are the biggest idiot walking the planet.”
I love the story about the employee with epilepsy. I have had coworkers with epilepsy. They took medications. Not a single one had a seizure at work. If they did not tell me, I would never have known.
The lady giving the cashier her loose change reminded of an incident that I once had. I had a large amount of loose change in my pocket once that I decided to lighten the weight on my pocket by using them up first when all of a sudden some young man reached pass me and handed the cashier his debit card to pay for the food I had. The cashier used it before I could process what was happening. The young man smiled at me and said for me to have a nice day and walked away. I finally found my tongue and asked the cashier what was that about and he just shrugged his shoulders. Thinking on it later, I decided the guy thought I was a poor man counting out the last of my money since I was using all coins. It the most I could figure. I have a good paying job too.
I do remember that very first Monday working as a dishwasher, I worked with a guy named Todd and another guy named Mick they showed me the ropes, what went where, how many palettes could go in the dishtank. They also made my first day a living hell. Purposely forgetting to put garbage bags in the cans, then have me clean them out. Clean the filters in the dishtank, if there was one little crumb on the floor I had to sweep the entire kitchen over. BUT then they told me they were running low on glasses and had to get more from the basement. I wandered around the kitchen asking where the basement was and the cooks and guys on dishtank would point in a vague direction THEN it hit me, we are in a strip mall..there is no basement. I stood there feeling stupid then went to the dishtank and said "You assholes" while laughing " I spent a good five minutes walking around feeling stupid because I couldn't find one simple basement door" The guys just stood there smiling. Five minutes in i just looked at them and said "Dickheads" We were in tears laughing . Mr S came to the dishtank and said "Lemme guess, he figured out the basement door." It was just sort of an intiation of sorts. Mr. Said "Well looks like you are going to fit in fine you are an official bubble jockey"
It's great that Mr. S gave you a job. We're just like every other person, just with a few extra things. Some of those can be... well, disabling and some can be a down right superpower. Saw from another comment you basically run the place now. Keep up the good work, it gives hope to the rest of us. :)
Even though I knew they meant it in good fun I cannot understand the whole “initiation” bullshit if you’re hired to do a job you shouldn’t have to go through a stupid ritual in order to be accepted as their peer they’re either going to take you or leave you as you are
I feel for the guy in the 2nd one. I'm epileptic and also gone through everything he has. I wasn't as nice to people that stared at me . Also I hated putting in applying because it was exactly the same thing everywhere I went . So I stared to say no or not answer at all to disability on the application and then tell them after I was hired.
I can understand that. But also realize some places do that due to liability. Also if i hired someone and they lied about that i would terminate them on the spot for lying about that if i found out.

The only time that specific matter comes into question is usually if a disability could keep someone from performing a job. Like a example from when my mother worked for the US forest service they were hiring people to clear trails in the forest. Dirt trails the guy marked that he did not have any disabilities that would prevent him from doing it. He shows up what was supposed to be his first day in a wheel chair because he was a amputee. He clearly would not be able to do the job. Another scenario is that you would not want a person with epilepsy any where near a job where it could possibly cause a seizure. The medical disabilities like that are a must to disclose. Because employeers have the right to choose if they wish to take that risk. As well in cases of epilepsy the employeers have to know what to do for if the person has a siezure. Now what i feel is this is more of a question to ask during the end of the interview if you are actually considering hiring the person. And the way you phrase it is ask if they have any that could potentially keep from doing their job.
@@speedbump9299 I get what you're saying but I found a loophole where I'm living. And I do not have to disclose that I'm disabled even if it is on the application because there is a law that protect me even if I don't disclose it.

The thing is when I told them I was disabled they didn't even mind because I proved myself I wasn't a liability or burden on the company.

The disability part of the second story is the reason I'd always hide the fact that I'm deaf in one ear when on job interviews. As soon as I started doing that I started getting the jobs. I just let them see the hearing aid (surprisingly almost no one sees it first time) or tell them months later.
I completely understand the guy with social anxiety issues. I suffer from selective mutism and in certain situations I literally can't speak and it's not through lack of trying or not wanting to speak. You can look it up and get a better idea of it. But when someone is standing berating you and you can't stand up and say anything back it's the worst feeling in the world.
@@theresahall8206 Manager had just gotten at the store for his shift. He was in regular clothes. He was walking back to the employee's area and a woman asked if he knew if they had a certain type of creamer in the back because there was none in the case. He said I don't know, at which point she cut him off and said Sorry, my mistake, you obviously don't work here. As he was telling her that he does work there, one of the employees walk by and into the employee's area. The woman tried getting his attention but he didn't hear her. So she followed him and attempted to go into the back. The manager got in front of her and told her she couldn't go back there. She said she needed to ask the employee about the creamer & the manager repeated that she couldn't go back there. She said who the hell are you? You're just a customer so mind your business & don't tell me what I can't do. The manager told her that he was the manager and not a customer and she couldn't go back there. She said You're not a freaking manager, you sure as hell don't look like one. You don't have uniform on. Managers don't dress the way you are right now. So move out of my way. He told her that he had just arrived for his shift, where he usually changes. He told her she could give him a minute to change and clock in and then he would help her or she could leave or be escorted out. She said she's not going anywhere and no one is touching her to take her out. If anyone touches her, she'll sue everyone in the store 😆 Another employee comes out the back and the manager asks her to assist the lady and find her item so he could clock in. Then he went into the back. She kept repeating to the employee how rude he was for threatening to have her escorted out and nobody better touch her. I just walked away after that 😆😆
The last story reminds me of when I went to court for my divorce to be final. I had to have my person and my purse checked before I could go into the courtroom. When the metal detector detected a large metal object in my purse, the person doing the checking dumped my purse out, probably expecting to find a weapon. It was, however, a bag of pennies I kept meaning to turn into paper money by using a Coinstar machine, but had kind of forgotten about it. Everyone around had a good laugh about it. Well, mostly. I was mortified about having my purse dumped.
I apologize that someone accused you of having a drug problem... some people are just too quick to jump to conclusions about others ... the amount of times I dropped my gramma off at the door to go park her car in the handicap parking spot and someone complained that a non handicapped person was parked there is insane it literally is her car and she has a placard...one woman tried to get me arrested... and technically I AM disabled just not to that extent to need a placard, but if you can’t see a disability apparently people think it doesn’t exist 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@msuew94 i never had thought about being a dishwasher either some other job i thought because i had a diploma i could get any job, its not that i thought it was below me or anything it just never popped into my head. I am glad i did though it is a very humbling and rewarding job...i have seen it make a man sccream walking out . some just come to a full stop just shut down and say they cant handle it .
Epileptic here, it is still that hard to get a job when you can't tell when a seizure is coming. When I have tiny seizures it looks like I'm rolling my eyes, I got detention so many times for having small seizures in grade school.
As another fellow epileptic I have mild tremors in my right hand as a side effect of having the condition for many years. One of the times I find it lucky I am one of those weird left-handed people.
as a manager of a sports store you can say" your outta here!" while throwing ur arm into the air like a umpire when kicking someone out of the store lol
When a store doesn't have uniforms, it might be nice if they provided lapel pins or lanyards with tags stating something like "Welcome to Store, My name is XXXXX." Such easy identification would lessen the chances of Karen/Kevin attack (Karen saying "I know you work here" while Kevin insists "How could a girl work here?")
I worked as Nurse for approximately 30 years with famlial tremors. Never had any complaints about giving shots, most of my patients did not even realize I had already given them the shot until I was taking off my gloves. Any person who has the tremors can do any job as long as they learns the proper and best (for themselves) technic.
Yeah my dad has epilepsy, and no he doesn't have to wear a helmet nor dose anyone with epilepsy i just know that when he still had his fits frequently, he once broke down at a Trainstation. he has the kind of epilepsy were he loses all motor function of his body and kinda Spasms with his limps. my mom was totally helpless as she had 3year old me with them and couldn't care for both at the same time. most passerbys just thought my dad was a drunk alcoholic and insulted him and my mom. luckily a nice couple saw what was happening and got out of their way to drive my mom to were we lived to get my dads medication while the woman kept an eye on me now my dad doesn't get fits anymore but people still need to learn more about epilepsy
Invisible disabilities are scoffed at the most funnily enough. If you in a chair people may look down at you but they have proof but somehow either you should stroke out on command and prove it (I am not a dog I do not perform tricks and I for a fact will not try to have a seizure to please your sorry ass r/suspiciouslyspecific), or wear a helmet. I really truly hate society. (This dude was lucky to get hired period. Most people hear seizures and just say nope unhirable. I get it liability and such but still either you never get a job, or you get some weird job you not sure if is even legal with very few exceptions.)
I hate filling out the application pages about demographics and disability and veteran status. They say they can’t see people’s answers but you cannot convince me otherwise.
Agreed, that is why it is supposed to be optional. Honestly, the reason they ask is because they get tax breaks for hiring a certain number of people in those demographics.
@@LM-wz9yw I was hoping someone would point that out... my gram has gotten passed over for so many jobs that she is OVER qualified for due to them not needing any more disabled people on the payroll... it’s just wrong, but I also know people that without those things on the sheet the place would’ve looked them over entirely so I think it’s a situational issue
@@msuew94 when the hiring of certain demographics was created, it was supposed to exist as a tie breaker. Two identical candidates with no difference between experience level? Hire the one with a diversity as your tie breaker. It was not meant to be there so companies would hire less qualified people over more qualified.
The nickels one reminds me of a time I got asked on the phone at my work if I was my boss, and when I said, "no, I'm not him, he's..." starting to say "he's out of the office", I think the lady on the phone thought I was saying my *pronouns* were not "he/him" and I didn't quite realise that until I thought back on it after I hung up. That was super awkward.
Last story: Not a very bright person, but her heart was in the right place. I probably would have carried out her wishes and saw to it that a homeless person got that money and maybe a couple extra bucks.
I have some little "I Do Work Here" moments if I'm at the store when I'm not working. Nothing worth telling about really. Just things like telling kids to heed the "No Fingers" signs on the ferret cage.
My brother worked in our villages litle store. Village of maybe 800-1000 people On the summer the village allmost got tripled in all coming to there summerhouses. One rule from the Boss in the store - the workers was not allowed to talk back to the customers. He did that! and Oh Man he did!!! 😀 more than one customer that got banned! and if people complained that it was cheaper in the city - go shop there then! Everybody in the village loved him! 🙂
That epilepsy story pissed me off. I actually have epilepsy. I don’t fall down a lot, my hands don’t shake, and strobe lights (believe it or not), don’t effect me at all
back then? they still ask even now if you have any kind of disability, its obviously not a slight against the applicant and won't deny you the job (cuz then that'd be illegal for the company to do), they do it so they can accommodate said disability so they won't get into any sort of legal issue later on
Yes, they still do,but as he said, it is hell to prove why someone didnt hire you, legally. I long ago got into the habit of saying no to that question, then after I am hired I say, oh, by the way, I am disabled, it wont prevent me from doing my job, here are the extremely reasonable accomidations I need.
Being almost 100% deaf from childhood, my speech is very noticeable 'off'. I have a college degree and I have lost jobs to less qualified applicants and it is no secret that my speech gives me away as being 'off'. Once hired, I climbed rapidly into good paying jobs and now I'm retired and am sitting pretty until the Lord takes me home.
It's illegal to deny a job based on a disability but they can easily chose someone else and simply claim they are more qualified. All the disabled people I know, including myself, won't mention it until there's actually a good chance of being hired. Companies claim it doesn't make a difference but they'd prefer someone who isn't disabled in almost any situation where it might be even a minor inconvenience to them. Asking for disabilities in an application is not wrong imo because some jobs do require that you are able to do particular tasks. But in a lot of jobs it really isn't relevant at all.
@@LM-wz9yw Now some places depending on the disability will not hire based on it because of liability. Like for example say you are a small buisness and have 2 possible hires both equally qualified. One with epilipsy the other without. Most cases they would choose the one without because if they have a siezure at work you are liable. Now also some places want to know in case the person cannot do the job they are applying for. There are valid reasons as well as non valid reasons.
I was a weird cashier who LOVED getting paid in small bills and lots of change because I was always short on them! 😂 Please help me, I have to keep breaking large bills for $2 purchases and all my change is gone! I felt so bad asking the manager for another round and tried to make it last as much as possible!
We are in the band, as my brother and like 20 other people said when following an actual band in through the back door of a place. The band were in on it though and I guess the establishment must have thought they were a funk band and not a punk band...
Why do people think employees are dumb, shoplifters or don't think they work there. That's such a twisted way too think.Hahahahaha where's Karen when you need her?! 🙄
Well as someone with an anxiety disorder I can tell you that MOST exchanges are fine it’s situations like that guy had that make us extremely anxious and uncomfortable, with counseling etc you can learn coping skills to get through those situations and after some time it comes naturally to the point you don’t think about it... though to someone who doesn’t have it/understand it I totally understand why it doesn’t make sense.
@@msuew94 you don’t know me at all and yet you claim to know I don’t have anxiety. Got news for you, I have some pretty high anxiety issues. I finally found a job where I don’t have to deal with the public after years of being a wreck when I would go to work. My Anxiety is not severe as OP claimed theirs was, and there were days I could barely stand it . Yes most exchanges were fine. Then there the ones that a customer lied about me saying I punched them in the parking lot. Cops were called, I was fired and had to go to court and I never even touched her. And yes that actually happened.
Epilepsy is not a disease! It is a disorder in the brain not yet understood. Where would this woman get the notion we need to wear helmets?! "Because you fall down so much." - With medication you can live a normal life. Postictal episodes could lead to misunderstandings, with you not being in control of yourself as it occurs, please take the time to learn and not judge.
4:58 well that is true for some people that are epileptic that’s only maybe 30% of people (i’m sorry I don’t know the actual statistics on that) whereas most of the people that have epilepsy look like normal humans they just need to take epilepsy medication as OP did and the reason I know that is in my program that I go to there is a individual there that has epileptic seizures and when he goes out he has to wear that helmet but there are other people there that do suffer from seizures but they don’t wear those helmets so that is too broad of an accusation for that entitled person to make
I have semi-related stories for a couple of things, though nothing really bad. When I was a freshman in college I went to visit my older brother over a weekend. He was in his 4th year in college but also managed his buddy's band (very basic stuff, got them a gig here and there). I got there and it turned out he'd gotten his friend a gig at a local bar so he was planning to go to the show that night. In order to get me in I said I was with the band...I played the cow bell for the band (very quietly) that night. There was a 4 month period where I decided not to shave. Right at the end of that period I needed to go to the DMV, thought it would be fun to go in looking as ridiculous as possible for the photo. I shaved one side of my face but not the other and got a ridiculous haircut (mullet, lightning bolts shaved into the sides, ...). I then went to DMV and was waiting to get called up. I grabbed a seat somewhere and people started moving away from me. I heard a bunch of them whispering about 'that drug addict over there.' Unfortunately when I went up to the guy at the window he said they couldn't take a new photo then but if I came back in 2 weeks they could (he gave me a reason that I'm pretty sure he made up). I of course had to be back at work on Monday so I couldn't keep the look going for that long and I'm pretty sure he assumed that would be the case.
i love it when christian me is being trashtalked by some Karen constantly reminding me how she's a "good christian" and I am a poor soul. I wish i was smart enough to answer with biblical slaps. But the punchlines come to me only five minutes too late.
Is it just me or have like 90% of the people in this kind of sub social anxiety? Every second or third story is hear/read is "i have that". Whats wrong with the fckn world?!
@@rareram disabilities aren't a pre existing condition. They are part of life as much anything else. One day you might get hurt and the doctors can only do so much. They can't make you like before. Life might throw a curve and today where you are feeling goo is tomorrow not so good. And the doctors won't be able to change it because they don't know how. Nobody can guarantee that they will stay healthy forever.
@@theresahall8206 correct, and the video is referring to an application. So I don't see where your point is? Employers have the right to know that if you're not able to lift more then 10lb due to whatever condition. Maybe you're not destined to be a firefighter... That I believe has nothing to do with if you have a curveball thrown at you by life. That's what the laws regarding if you can be fired or not based on your abilities are for. He was applying, not being fired for having a condition. (on a side note, isn't nice that epilepsy isn't infectious because it is something that you end up being born with... Almost like a preexisting condition isn't it?)
What planet are those people from where apparently anybody who is in a band is clean cut and wears a suit and tie. Maybe someone should pass that news onto perry Farrell so he can stop prancing around on stage half naked showing off his tattoos and piercings,.
Dude where is that Dad at my store he could scream at the idiots who waltz behind my counter near hot racks bc they want a box of cookies on my table or have a question and cant wait behind the line leading into my dept they must bring their shopping carts and bodies into the fucking department to look for donuts

She said You're not a freaking manager, you sure as hell don't look like one. You don't have uniform on. Managers don't dress the way you are right now. So move out of my way.
He told her that he had just arrived for his shift, where he usually changes. He told her she could give him a minute to change and clock in and then he would help her or she could leave or be escorted out. She said she's not going anywhere and no one is touching her to take her out. If anyone touches her, she'll sue everyone in the store 😆
Another employee comes out the back and the manager asks her to assist the lady and find her item so he could clock in. Then he went into the back.
She kept repeating to the employee how rude he was for threatening to have her escorted out and nobody better touch her. I just walked away after that 😆😆

My favorite I DO Work Here Lady's are when it's the owner being accused of not working there. :)
The last story reminds me of when I went to court for my divorce to be final. I had to have my person and my purse checked before I could go into the courtroom. When the metal detector detected a large metal object in my purse, the person doing the checking dumped my purse out, probably expecting to find a weapon. It was, however, a bag of pennies I kept meaning to turn into paper money by using a Coinstar machine, but had kind of forgotten about it. Everyone around had a good laugh about it. Well, mostly. I was mortified about having my purse dumped.
WOAH !! YOU TOLD MY STORY? COOL BEANS.....um you guys figure out which one I wrote lol
don't you have dishes to wash?
I apologize that someone accused you of having a drug problem... some people are just too quick to jump to conclusions about others ... the amount of times I dropped my gramma off at the door to go park her car in the handicap parking spot and someone complained that a non handicapped person was parked there is insane it literally is her car and she has a placard...one woman tried to get me arrested... and technically I AM disabled just not to that extent to need a placard, but if you can’t see a disability apparently people think it doesn’t exist 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@msuew94 i never had thought about being a dishwasher either some other job i thought because i had a diploma i could get any job, its not that i thought it was below me or anything it just never popped into my head. I am glad i did though it is a very humbling and rewarding job...i have seen it make a man sccream walking out . some just come to a full stop just shut down and say they cant handle it .

Epileptic here, it is still that hard to get a job when you can't tell when a seizure is coming. When I have tiny seizures it looks like I'm rolling my eyes, I got detention so many times for having small seizures in grade school.
As another fellow epileptic I have mild tremors in my right hand as a side effect of having the condition for many years. One of the times I find it lucky I am one of those weird left-handed people.
Thank you fluff, I'm in a lot of pain today but that last story with the lady and the change made me smile.
as a manager of a sports store you can say" your outta here!" while throwing ur arm into the air like a umpire when kicking someone out of the store lol
When a store doesn't have uniforms, it might be nice if they provided lapel pins or lanyards with tags stating something like "Welcome to Store, My name is XXXXX." Such easy identification would lessen the chances of Karen/Kevin attack (Karen saying "I know you work here" while Kevin insists "How could a girl work here?")
I worked as Nurse for approximately 30 years with famlial tremors. Never had any complaints about giving shots, most of my patients did not even realize I had already given them the shot until I was taking off my gloves.
Any person who has the tremors can do any job as long as they learns the proper and best (for themselves) technic.
Yeah my dad has epilepsy, and no he doesn't have to wear a helmet nor dose anyone with epilepsy
i just know that when he still had his fits frequently, he once broke down at a Trainstation. he has the kind of epilepsy were he loses all motor function of his body and kinda Spasms with his limps. my mom was totally helpless as she had 3year old me with them and couldn't care for both at the same time. most passerbys just thought my dad was a drunk alcoholic and insulted him and my mom. luckily a nice couple saw what was happening and got out of their way to drive my mom to were we lived to get my dads medication while the woman kept an eye on me
now my dad doesn't get fits anymore but people still need to learn more about epilepsy
Invisible disabilities are scoffed at the most funnily enough. If you in a chair people may look down at you but they have proof but somehow either you should stroke out on command and prove it (I am not a dog I do not perform tricks and I for a fact will not try to have a seizure to please your sorry ass r/suspiciouslyspecific), or wear a helmet. I really truly hate society.
(This dude was lucky to get hired period. Most people hear seizures and just say nope unhirable. I get it liability and such but still either you never get a job, or you get some weird job you not sure if is even legal with very few exceptions.)
I've been working for him for 30 years now
I hate filling out the application pages about demographics and disability and veteran status. They say they can’t see people’s answers but you cannot convince me otherwise.
Agreed, that is why it is supposed to be optional. Honestly, the reason they ask is because they get tax breaks for hiring a certain number of people in those demographics.
@@LM-wz9yw I was hoping someone would point that out... my gram has gotten passed over for so many jobs that she is OVER qualified for due to them not needing any more disabled people on the payroll... it’s just wrong, but I also know people that without those things on the sheet the place would’ve looked them over entirely so I think it’s a situational issue
@@msuew94 when the hiring of certain demographics was created, it was supposed to exist as a tie breaker. Two identical candidates with no difference between experience level? Hire the one with a diversity as your tie breaker. It was not meant to be there so companies would hire less qualified people over more qualified.
Mr S in the epilepsy story totally rocks.
The nickels one reminds me of a time I got asked on the phone at my work if I was my boss, and when I said, "no, I'm not him, he's..." starting to say "he's out of the office", I think the lady on the phone thought I was saying my *pronouns* were not "he/him" and I didn't quite realise that until I thought back on it after I hung up.
That was super awkward.
Again, I can't help but feel a little unsatisfied in that last story.
Agreed, it would have been better ending on the epilepsy story
@@LM-wz9yw Sorry, next time I will write a pulitzer prize winning story..
Last story: Not a very bright person, but her heart was in the right place. I probably would have carried out her wishes and saw to it that a homeless person got that money and maybe a couple extra bucks.
I have some little "I Do Work Here" moments if I'm at the store when I'm not working. Nothing worth telling about really. Just things like telling kids to heed the "No Fingers" signs on the ferret cage.
HANDS UP FOR EPILEPSY. WOOOO. #PURPLEDAY.

My brother worked in our villages litle store. Village of maybe 800-1000 people
On the summer the village allmost got tripled in all coming to there summerhouses.
One rule from the Boss in the store - the workers was not allowed to talk back to the customers.
He did that! and Oh Man he did!!! 😀 more than one customer that got banned!
and if people complained that it was cheaper in the city - go shop there then!
Everybody in the village loved him! 🙂
That epilepsy story pissed me off. I actually have epilepsy. I don’t fall down a lot, my hands don’t shake, and strobe lights (believe it or not), don’t effect me at all
Calling epilepsy a disease!? I am disgusted. My sister and I both have epilepsy. That woman pisses me off. Maybe she should where a helmet. 😡
Last story, I would call that a*hole tax.
4:00 Jesus Christ my hands are shaking for ten years and I'm not an addict
back then? they still ask even now if you have any kind of disability, its obviously not a slight against the applicant and won't deny you the job (cuz then that'd be illegal for the company to do), they do it so they can accommodate said disability so they won't get into any sort of legal issue later on
Yes, they still do,but as he said, it is hell to prove why someone didnt hire you, legally. I long ago got into the habit of saying no to that question, then after I am hired I say, oh, by the way, I am disabled, it wont prevent me from doing my job, here are the extremely reasonable accomidations I need.
Honestly people very much do discriminate based on whether you have a disability, mostly in amount paid, at least in the us.
Being almost 100% deaf from childhood, my speech is very noticeable 'off'. I have a college degree and I have lost jobs to less qualified applicants and it is no secret that my speech gives me away as being 'off'. Once hired, I climbed rapidly into good paying jobs and now I'm retired and am sitting pretty until the Lord takes me home.
It's illegal to deny a job based on a disability but they can easily chose someone else and simply claim they are more qualified. All the disabled people I know, including myself, won't mention it until there's actually a good chance of being hired. Companies claim it doesn't make a difference but they'd prefer someone who isn't disabled in almost any situation where it might be even a minor inconvenience to them. Asking for disabilities in an application is not wrong imo because some jobs do require that you are able to do particular tasks. But in a lot of jobs it really isn't relevant at all.
@@LM-wz9yw Now some places depending on the disability will not hire based on it because of liability. Like for example say you are a small buisness and have 2 possible hires both equally qualified. One with epilipsy the other without. Most cases they would choose the one without because if they have a siezure at work you are liable. Now also some places want to know in case the person cannot do the job they are applying for. There are valid reasons as well as non valid reasons.
I was a weird cashier who LOVED getting paid in small bills and lots of change because I was always short on them! 😂 Please help me, I have to keep breaking large bills for $2 purchases and all my change is gone! I felt so bad asking the manager for another round and tried to make it last as much as possible!
We are in the band, as my brother and like 20 other people said when following an actual band in through the back door of a place. The band were in on it though and I guess the establishment must have thought they were a funk band and not a punk band...
I live in Australia, and the most routine question on job applications today is about any disability
Being a epileptic I can say i get this all the time but ppl think I'm an alcoholic

It never fails... “I have severe social anxiety” *gets a job where you deal daily with the public*
Well as someone with an anxiety disorder I can tell you that MOST exchanges are fine it’s situations like that guy had that make us extremely anxious and uncomfortable, with counseling etc you can learn coping skills to get through those situations and after some time it comes naturally to the point you don’t think about it... though to someone who doesn’t have it/understand it I totally understand why it doesn’t make sense.
@@msuew94 you don’t know me at all and yet you claim to know I don’t have anxiety. Got news for you, I have some pretty high anxiety issues. I finally found a job where I don’t have to deal with the public after years of being a wreck when I would go to work. My Anxiety is not severe as OP claimed theirs was, and there were days I could barely stand it . Yes most exchanges were fine. Then there the ones that a customer lied about me saying I punched them in the parking lot. Cops were called, I was fired and had to go to court and I never even touched her. And yes that actually happened.
Epilepsy is not a disease! It is a disorder in the brain not yet understood. Where would this woman get the notion we need to wear helmets?! "Because you fall down so much." - With medication you can live a normal life. Postictal episodes could lead to misunderstandings, with you not being in control of yourself as it occurs, please take the time to learn and not judge.
This was soooo many years ago , but it stood out for some reason. Yeah I know, it pisses me off when epilepsy is called a disease..

thank you for reading my story
4:58 well that is true for some people that are epileptic that’s only maybe 30% of people (i’m sorry I don’t know the actual statistics on that) whereas most of the people that have epilepsy look like normal humans they just need to take epilepsy medication as OP did and the reason I know that is in my program that I go to there is a individual there that has epileptic seizures and when he goes out he has to wear that helmet but there are other people there that do suffer from seizures but they don’t wear those helmets so that is too broad of an accusation for that entitled person to make
I LOVE! that he turned religion back on that stupid judging woman! 😀

Wa ge トラスト why did you comment twice?
I have semi-related stories for a couple of things, though nothing really bad.
When I was a freshman in college I went to visit my older brother over a weekend. He was in his 4th year in college but also managed his buddy's band (very basic stuff, got them a gig here and there). I got there and it turned out he'd gotten his friend a gig at a local bar so he was planning to go to the show that night. In order to get me in I said I was with the band...I played the cow bell for the band (very quietly) that night.
There was a 4 month period where I decided not to shave. Right at the end of that period I needed to go to the DMV, thought it would be fun to go in looking as ridiculous as possible for the photo. I shaved one side of my face but not the other and got a ridiculous haircut (mullet, lightning bolts shaved into the sides, ...). I then went to DMV and was waiting to get called up. I grabbed a seat somewhere and people started moving away from me. I heard a bunch of them whispering about 'that drug addict over there.' Unfortunately when I went up to the guy at the window he said they couldn't take a new photo then but if I came back in 2 weeks they could (he gave me a reason that I'm pretty sure he made up). I of course had to be back at work on Monday so I couldn't keep the look going for that long and I'm pretty sure he assumed that would be the case.
Now I'm early and I am gonna bask in the glory of that beer 🍻
i love it when christian me is being trashtalked by some Karen constantly reminding me how she's a "good christian" and I am a poor soul. I wish i was smart enough to answer with biblical slaps. But the punchlines come to me only five minutes too late.

Totally okay with them asking about disabilities. If you're unsuitable for the job, then why should they waste time on you?
LunarAvenger ugh you're one of those people
I guess we should fire you if you even get a temporary disability rather than just accommodate you so you can continue to work.
@@theresahall8206 with all due respect you little justice warrior, what does a pre-existing condition have to do with retaining employment?
@@rareram disabilities aren't a pre existing condition. They are part of life as much anything else. One day you might get hurt and the doctors can only do so much. They can't make you like before. Life might throw a curve and today where you are feeling goo is tomorrow not so good. And the doctors won't be able to change it because they don't know how. Nobody can guarantee that they will stay healthy forever.
@@theresahall8206 correct, and the video is referring to an application. So I don't see where your point is? Employers have the right to know that if you're not able to lift more then 10lb due to whatever condition. Maybe you're not destined to be a firefighter...
That I believe has nothing to do with if you have a curveball thrown at you by life. That's what the laws regarding if you can be fired or not based on your abilities are for.
He was applying, not being fired for having a condition.
(on a side note, isn't nice that epilepsy isn't infectious because it is something that you end up being born with... Almost like a preexisting condition isn't it?)
More of that please :)
