To add up with what RSlash said in the end : it's also because in some cases, they can hardly prove the reason why they stopped you. So for example, if you knew you were going faster than speed limit and they stopped you for that, they would have to prove you were speeding instead of you confessing to it.
Yes, this is correct. If you "self snitch", you're just making it harder to defend yourself legally later on if things go south. Respectfully only give the barest minimum of information during any encounter, and otherwise state the 5th and keep silent. Remember anything and everything you say and do can and will be used against you. So don't put ammo in their gun for them, legally speaking.
@@thegrimharvest Assuming you're alive when the cop gets to your window. Sometimes cops will pull someone over just to kill them, especially if it's a black person driving a car that's just a little too nice.
@@agentzapdos4960 If you approach every encounter with the expectation that the cop is ready to mag dump you at a moment's notice, that's all the more incentive to answer as carefully as possible, ask/notify before making any movements whatsoever, plead the 5th, keep silent, and comply to the very best of your abilities, no matter how illegal or unconstitutional the actions taken against you. If the cop is a trigger happy power tripping thug with a chip on his shoulder and out to add notches to his gun, you don't want to give him even the flimsiest excuse to justify his actions after the fact or to muddy the waters by "resisting" or "obstructing". He still will try regardles, a crooked cop is gonna be crooked. There's no certain specific action you can take to prevent a bad cop from abusing his power. Best you can do so that it's easier for yourself and your defense attorney in court afterwards is record the encounter yourself. The bodycam could always "malfunction" or the footage might "accidentally" get erased after the fact, or the audio was "coincidentally" turned off the whole time.
First time rslash mentioned the "do you know why cops ask you that": "They're waiting to see if you confess to a different crime like a busted tail light" Second time he mentioned the same: "They're waiting to see if you confess to having drugs or there being a warrant for your arrest" My guy has lost a lot of faith in humanity.😅
My mom was once pulled over because she wasn't matching the flow of traffic. She was going too slow compared to other cars. She told the officer that she was going over the speed limit(which she was) and got two tickets, one for going slower than the other cars and the other for speeding.
That literally is the reason cops ask those questions when they pull someone over, though. This is just reality, nothing to do with "losing faith in humanity"...
First Story: So basically, Karen constantly kept trying to screw OP over, told OP to complain to her supervisor, and got herself fired. Lmao, I mean she did tell OP to file complaints Second Story: The fact this manager caused a lot of people to quit should’ve raised some red flags that this person isn’t suited to be a manager Third Story: That is just being pure lazy. This IT guy will work on an issue unless its an issue for everyone? That is lazy conduct Fourth Story: When being a smart ass goes wrong.
for the 3rd story, i can kinda see the logic but *only* if the IT guy was new and didn't know this was a re-occuring issue. in the office i work at it's common to ask around if a problem occurs before talking to IT. we do this because if it's just a "you problem" it can be fixed with a re-start or a re-install 99% of the time and re-starting/re-installing the program yourself is much faster than contacting IT and waiting for them to go through the bureaucracy before they re-start it for you. basically, the IT guy's problem wasn't lazyness it was rudeness. if he had taken 2 seconds to just throw out some random advice like "try updating the browser" or "try using Chrome" the OP would have filled him in that it was a re-occuring problem and it woud eventually affect other people
That service is REALLY shoddily made if it breaks on every bowser update. The point of making something for the browser is so that anyone can use the thing easily. If you’re making it for a very specific browser, that kind of defeats the point. Then again this thing was made to work ONLY with IE, the one browser that doesn’t know what the term “standards compliance” means (thankfully discontinued as of a couple years ago).
I can almost promise that IT is currently engaged in malicious compliance. I have a good handful of friends who work in IT, and this is a boss that requires a certain number of tickets, and a certain number of "High priority" tickets. OP helped it work out.
about the last story, I saw something terrible few times ago : a woman was driving a little bit too fast in the country, and at one point, she bent to search for something on the ground of the car WHILE still driving. She hurt something, and ovbiously roll over something but didn't stop, barely look into her mirror, thinking it was an animal. Later a cop stop her for a totally random reason and asked her that same question "do you know why I stopped you" and she replied something like "because I killed someone and flee"? It happens that she REALLY rolled avoer a child who fell in the grass and she didn't bother stop to be sure. she was arrested for a crime no one would have known she did if she said nothing
That cop's face would have been priceless in itself. Being told such would have been one hell of a shock to him, even if she thought she was joking. Thing is, while she was arrested, the charges would have likely been contested in the court by her lawyer.
4th story is an excellent example of why intelligence and wisdom are 2 different stats in TTRPGs edit: holy crap, it is a war in there because one guy can't seem to wrap his head around the idea that tomatos are fruits
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 "Vegetable" is not a botanical category, only a culinary one. "Fruit" is both a botanical and culinary category, with overlapping but different meanings, which is where the confusion and the semantic games come from. In botany, a fruit is any fleshy pod-like object that contains seeds and came from a flower, and may not even be edible. In the kitchen, a fruit is a particular grouping of plant-based foods with a sweeter flavour profile and may include things that aren't botanical fruits (like rhubarb) and exclude things that are (like tomatoes). Vegetables only exist in the culinary sphere, and may come from any part of a plant, including the fruit. TL;DR A tomato is a fruit AND a vegetable. This is a pointless debate to make people feel big-brained.
12:39 Cop: do you know why I pulled you over? Billy: the dead body in my car? Cop: oh shit, time to go to jail! Later---- Cop: do you know why I pulled you over? Rich corporate guy: because i made it impossible for you to get your needed liver surgery because we denied the insurance claim, sell your personal data to foreign governments under offshore accounts, and hire mercenaries to wipe out villagers in places you dont know exist in other countries? Cop: sir im afraid none of that is illegal. I just stopped you because your politician friend said i need to give you an escort so you can go faster and if anyone gets hurt, itll be me.
Story 1: Imagine being so spiteful that you incorrectly deduct points from everyone's performances at the call center. I hope Karen never works as a supervisor again
i believe it's called "missing the forrest for the trees" he was so focussed on justifying his speeding, he didn't stop to realise that he was actually saying "sorry officer, i was speeding because it my cas is not safe to drive slowly", lol
*Story 1 OP:* Wow, did this Karen think she could get away THAT easily with the inaccurate audits? I love how Karen gave herself away with “aLL sCoReS aRe FiNaL aNd cAnNoT bE aPpEaLeD” to “SuBmIt a cOmPlAiNT tO mY sUpErViSoR”. Man, I love how Malicious Compliance comes together. *Story 2 OP:* Isn’t sharing medical information that isn’t yours a HIPPA violation (OP mentions they had a doctor’s appointment)? OP is well within their right to adhere to their medical affairs. I hope that manager got fired. *Story 3 OP:* Ah yes, I love how this story ends up with the IT guy getting karma.
I was pulled over for doing 43 in a 25. It was 7am on a Sunday morning...not another car or person in sight. I was chatting with my teen daughter as we were driving to the grocery store on the corner to get stuff to make french toast. The officer rightfully pulled me over & I used a line I saw in a meme. The Officer asked me, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" I replied, "Because you saw me before I saw you?" & I giggled a bit. He laughed. I apologized. He glanced at my license, didn't even run it & told me to watch my speed. I apologized again and that was that 😊
Storytime My mom is a "cool mom" so for her birthday me and my friends took her and her friend out to a bar. She was there for the bamd we were there for the drinks So we enjoyed the band, food, drinks etc Everyone went to her car to smoke 🍃 (I don't like it so I didn't) Around 11pm me and my friends were wiped. My mom and her friend partied while we slept in the car. Then she drives us home only her headlights turned off and she didn't realize until the cop pulled us over Standard license and registration talk now one of my friends had trouble with cops (she's a really bad driver) so she's freaking out even tho she should've done like our other friend(who actually has a warrant from running from the cops) and kept her mouth shut Car smells like a Despensery and he asked if she smoked today Time on the clock was 12:08am "No sir, not today" Made her do a follow my finger test She passed and were on our way Moral of the story keep your mouth shut
If literally ALL of his 19 coworkers had the same problem (which they had, according to the story), she obnviously wasn't going after OP, she was just absolutely incompetent and unprofessional~
gentle reminder that while it may be true, "because you're almost off your shift and a successful arrest is enough paperwork to get you some nice overtime" is not a good response to "do you know why i pulled you over" even if it doesn't admit to any crimes
Story 2: My best friend had a boss like that. He has an artificial hip from way back and had to replace it. Management sad "no freetime to recover, between operation and rehab", union sad "sorry, nothing we can do". In the Charite (really big hospital in Berlin) heared it and holded him in for "complications" and the rehab was delayed by 2 months. Instead of him being off work form 2ish months, he was gone for 4 months (planed). The Rehab management extended his rehab also from 6 weeks to 12. He also has a GdB (Degree of disability) of 50, that is huge in Germany. Story 4: Ah the Tomato paradime: Intelligence is to know that tomatos are fruits, Wisdom is: Tomatos do not go in fruit salate.).
Ah, I know the satisfaction of seeing a toxic person gone from the workplace... it feels great. I do internal customer service at my job, and I was once harassed by this guy who went to my desk to complain, in a very rude manner, that he wasn't getting his documents stamped. He even went as far as to say "it's your job to serve me!" The day I got an email about him quitting was one of the happiest days I had on the job.
Pro tip. If a cop asks you if you know how fast you were driving the answer is simply yes. If you say no, then he can make up a speed. If you give him a speed assuming you were speeding then you either lied to a cop, or admitted to speeding
As a work from home peasant, I wait for these to come through everyday, and space out listening while I autopilot through my morning routines. Rslash forever. ❤️
8:53 where i come from, you dont get paid sick days. I saw this dude get fired for missing work due to intestinal surgery. Kf course, it was labeled as some other reason, but the guy was too brown and poor, like a lot of the rest of us to be able to win that situation.
For the last story: I knew a guy at work one time who got pulled over for having a headlight out AFTER I warned him he had a headlight out. He also happened to have front window tint in a state where front window tint wasn’t allowed. When a cop pulled him over and said “do you know why I pulled you over?” he said “because of my front window tint, huh?” He ended up with a fix it ticket to remove the front window tint AND replace his headlight. Shoulda replaced the headlight when I warned you, sir! 🤣🤣
I got pulled over for speeding, doing 40 in a 30 (but it was one of those roads where EVERYONE does that, and you only get pulled over if it's 3am and a cop is bored.) The cop asked the classic "Do you know why I pulled you over" I had a sudden moment of clarity and replied "Well if you don't know either, can I go?" And the cop just straight up broke. Snorted and had to walk away for a couple seconds. Comes back and just goes "Slow it down a bit ok? Have a good evening."
It’s so annoying when people come to your desk when they should submit a ticket. The IT guy was probably on his break. He did the right thing saying it isn’t priority because people are always trying to escalate their issue when it is most likely just them.
Story 1: she "learned her lesson" about giving ludicrously low scores and thought to do a lot of audits with a mid range of bad scores. The problem is that if you don't do your job accurately, you're going to have a problem. She wanted to power trip, but instead of doing that within the outlined rules, she decided to break them. Derp
*Cop:* "Do you know why I pulled you over?" *Innocent Man:* "Because I'm black, and you have a quota?" *Cop:* "Okay, _technically_ correct, but now Imma haveta bring you in for resisting arrest." -Moral of the story: Never admit to being black /s-
First Story. I am a supervisor in a call center and I use to be lead in Quality. I know how OP feels , not only does it hurt the agent but the supervisors bonus can be hurt as well as your position if your team keeps failing. I am all over quality and checking to make sure they do right. A bad qa is not going to mess with my teams money or my money. Good on OP
There's very few "safe" answers to that question. If you say anything that indicates you may know why they're pulling you over, then it's supporting the idea you're admitting guilt, which makes their job easier. "Was I speeding?" "Was it the twenty seven pounds of meth in my backseat?" If you claim ignorance, that's support for either impairment or negligence on your part. "I don't know. Why?" Probably the most neutral response would be something like "Please tell me, officer." You're not answering the question, because it's actually irrelevant and it's only purpose is to aid in providing the officer probable cause and reasonable articulable suspicion to continue the detainment or traffic stop. It doesn't matter if you initially know (or dont know) why the cop stopped you, because either way they're still going to tell you anyway, and anything you say can and will be used against you. So give them only as much info as you absolutely have to, and then keep silent.
Never try to argue a point in the street either. Be polite, follow instructions (even if you believe them to be unlawful) and argue it in court. You gain absolutely nothing from trying to talk back, argue or passively resist, all its going to do is get you in more trouble. And yes resisting doesn't just mean actively fighting, crossing your arms and refusing to follow instruction or not allowing them to cuff you is still resisting and you will get charged for it. Oh and if you get pulled over for a ten dollar seat belt ticket definitely don't put your seat belt on when you're getting pulled over, then argue with the cop you had it on all along, crush up your 150 dollar sunglasses and start shredding the money in your wallet while having a massive toddler tantrum that you got caught and are getting a ten dollar ticket (yes there's full bodycam footage of it and it's absolutely hilarious)
@@Lilith-Rose Even perfect compliance doesn't guarantee that you'll survive the encounter. Cops have been known to empty their magazines into someone because an unrelated loud noise happened.
@@agentzapdos4960 well then they'd be even more likely to if you started kicking off and giving them a reason to use force wouldn't they, so that doesn't change anything
@@Lilith-Rose As soon as you see cops, you should just lay face-down with your hands behind your back and start praying to whatever deities you believe in. Even if you didn't do anything wrong.
NEVER be Rude or a Wiseass to a Police Officer...it just annoys them and any leniency they might have had goes out the window and the Tickets they would have just given you a Warning for now get Written...
12:05 Cop: Do you know how fast you were going? Me: Yes. Cop: Where are you heading? Me: That way. Cop: Where are you coming from? Me: Back there. Cop: Is there anything in the car I should know about? Me: Maybe. Cop: 😐 Me:😐 Cop: Okay, I'm going to let you off with a warning. Me: For what officer? Cop: I don't f**king know.
after admitting to knowing how fast you were driving, they could also just ask you to verify the specific number. if you decline to answer, you get written up for negligent driving because you'd admit to not knowing how fast you were going. if you do answer honestly, you still get the speeding ticket. it's a lose-lose situation if the cop's smart about it.
Actually, the first time I got pulled over, I was speeding and was late for work. I saw the cop on the side of the road after getting over a hill. I pulled over before he ever got the chance to turn his lights on. Was very apologetic, told him I was late, what I did for a living and admitted I was wrong and would be more careful. Got off with a warning.
Last story sounds like sheldon from big bang theory was driving a car, if sheldon was ok driving a car since he got his driver's license but never used it. 😂
Fun fact: some police departments are doing away with the phrase "do you know why I pulled you over". There was a murderer who fled the scene and was pulled over by two officers for speeding. The first one he didn't shoot and the other he did. The reason he shot the second officer was because the officer asked if he (the murderer and speeder) knew why he was pulled over. He thought the officer knew of the murder and shot him before he could be arrested. So out of safety precaution, departments are moving away from using that phrase.
I always speed around 4-7mph over the limit, except in neighborhoods because you gotta be aware of the 3Ds. Dogs, deer and dimwits (mostly kids but they don't know better sometimes) a ticket will cost the same 1-9mph and the same for 10-19 over. So long your registration is good and you don't have an out of state plate, going no more than 4 over they'll leave you alone most of the time.
After last story: don't say "I don't know" when an officer asks why you think you've been pulled over. It could be used against you in court to show recklessness, for example. Instead, either say nothing you're not required to provide (such as identifying information), or respond to the question by asking the officer something like "why did you decide to pull me over?"
Last story... Reminds me of my dad Cop- do you know why i pulled you over Him- nope Cop- caught you doing 85 in a 65 Him- ah i was DECELERATING from the on ramp My mom- 😱😱😱🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Cop- heres your ticket slow down Him- idk how is got a ticket Me hearing this story- maybe cuz you admitted to driving faster than 85 to a cop 🤦🏾♀️💁🏾♀️😑
IT guy here, i remember a friend of mine pissed me off, because they kept wanting me to clear their cache and "make the computer go faster!" every day. So i installed a BIOS password- essentially to even boot up the computer, you need a password- and made the password "please" when they begged for a hint all i gave them was "its the magic word!" totally tangental, unrelated and such, just thought id share :D
Intelligence is NEVER a good substitute for wisdom, but it can significantly accelerate the process of gaining said wisdom. As for the tyre thing, my excuse would have been that warmer tyres grip better (which they do), that the best way to get heat in them is to accelerate and brake hard (which it is), and that the best way to keep said heat in them is to maintain good speed (which I would have been when pulled over). Then I would have only gotten the speeding ticket 😂😂😂
Yep, 0:55 for that exact sentence. Even then her behavior was inappropriate and if I had been that MD I would have immediately asked to speak to the supervisor.
Yeah don't let them mess with your time to a doctor's appointment. I've had to deal with it before where they tried pushing more than they could cause they got real quiet when I told them the issue is to help stop seizers
Okay, the whole "this is why a cop asks if you know why they pulled you over" Rslash says at the end is *not* true. I'm related to someone [being vague for privacy reasons] who spent over 30 years as an officer in the RCMP, and worked in traffic for a time. I've spoken to a fuckton of that relative's friends about their jobs, and pretty much every cop has to do traffic at some point [it's a career advancement thing]. That statement is objectively false. They're evaluating *your character* and assessing risk. It's their job to make that judgment call and see if you'll do it again, if you're remorseful, etc. They act based on that assessment. If you're considered a risk, you'll very likely get ticketed or otherwise receive the punishment. If you made a mistake, show remorse, etc, then you'll be let off much easier or even with just a warning. Demonizing the people stuck in the shitty traffic positions [which nobody likes doing by the way, as it's dangerous and people have gotten literally assaulted for just doing their jobs] doesn't help anyone. Not the people driving, and not the officers. The cynical attitude of "they want you to be caught doing something bad" helps nobody. The police's job isn't to prove guilt, hand out tickets, or anything like that. It's to maintain order and preserve human life. Don't demonize people for doing their damn jobs the way they're supposed to.
3:32 this is why people need more math consultants and statisticians in the workplace. They would immediately bury this narcissists harassment of OP, for good.
Despite the story being structured as though the IT guy being negligent, he was right; one person experiencing an issue doesn't necessarily require immediate action over other tickets. IT guy's use of the word "prioritize" suggests that larger problems were being tackled first and if there was really a problem that couldn't be chalked down to input error because it happened to multiple people that's actually good thing. It saves time troubleshooting the computer for problems instead of the application.
LOL, I always respond to the cop's question of why they pulled me over with "Because you haven't hit your quota of tickets for the month" with big S*** eating grin... some laugh some, just write me a ticket...
Do you know why I pulled you over? It's not even to get you to confess about things they don't know about. It's about getting you to confess, period. They do it so that they have more evidence they can put on the citation for the reason they pulled you over. So the cop pull you over for speeding he asked you, "Do you know why I pulled you over " and you respond, Because I was speeding?" he then notes that on his citation. That way, when you come to court and say, "No Judge, I wasn't speeding, he has no evidence." The officer can point to YOUR WORDS AT THE TIME. But yeah, if you do confess to something else, that won't help either. It's the same reason they ask you where you're coming from and where you're going. Don't answer questions from a cop Be polite. Do what you're told to do. And remember you will never win an argument at the roadside
Cops are not trained to ask a driver if they know why ther were pulled over. They are trained to tell the driver the reason for the stop. At least in my state they are. Reasons for this include no one ever confesses to anything above speeding, it sounds dumb, and being upfront with the driver is more likely to gain compliance and cooperation. In 18 years of law enforcement i dont think I've ever asked that.
I'm pretty sure there was an episode of that show where Sheldon almost gets himself sent to prison for life because he couldn't stop "correcting" the cops.
Cop: do you know why I pulled you over? smartass me: Is it because of the tactical nuke in the back seat? five minutes later... Swat team: come out with your hands up
I've been harsh with you before, maybe even more so than necessary. Having said that, it took watching a few videos made by this guy named Mr Reddito for me to appreciate what a pro you really are. Aside from constantly reading obviously fake stories, he clearly does little to no prep work. He doesn't clean anything up, he doesn't check how to pronounce a lot of very simple one syllable words and even names and needs a lot of work on which words he needs to emphasize and change his voice inflection. In other words, you're the man and I'm sorry.
If you know ahead of time that you're going to be late for something. Perhaps buy a box of donuts and when you get asked why a cop pulled you over. Say it's because he/she could smell the donuts and see what happens!
No, you do not say I don’t know if an officer pulls you over. That can be perceived as negligence. What you should say is “would you like to tell me officer? “
You should just lay face-down on the pavement with your hands behind your back as soon as you notice the flashing lights in your rearview mirror. When the cop asks what the fuck you're doing, you say "Getting into position, sir. I will not answer any further questions without a lawyer present".
Last story - interested to know how you think this will end... COP: Do you know why I pulled you over? DRIVER: You need directions to the closest donut shop?
COP *into radio*: Shots fired, shots fired, we have one casualty on the side of King's Highway 401 near the 410 interchange, suspect neutralized, requesting EMT.
What a twist, they gotta mess with the IT guy for being lazy. I hate those, too many of them. Priority is meant to help with what's the next task to do, not just if you have to do it or not. I prefer having no tickets at all so I can game in peace with no worries from the boss
Rule of thumb: never offer information to a law enforcement agent if they approach you. (Info below is specifically for the U.S.) Only ask: 1) Am I suspected of something? 2) Am I being detained? 3) Am I free to go? 4) Am I under arrest? Don't talk to a L.E.O. without a lawyer. Don't let a L.E.O. search your property without a warrant. Always close and lock your door if you step out at the L.E.O.'s request. Important SCOTUS cases Mapp v Ohio (warrantless searches) Miranda v Arizona (Miranda rights) Recording police is protected under the 1st amendment, but restrictions vary by state, know yours and do not interfere with the police action regardless. Just film it.
12:08 Hmmm.... Not entirely true - when a police officer asks, "do you know why I pulled you over?" it can go either way, depending on (a) the alleged infraction, and (b) the officer. There's a slight chance that they might be trying to get to to admit to further issues, however it's more likely that they are testing your awareness. If you say that you've no idea why you were pulled over, that could be construed as you being unaware of your actions while driving.. something traffic police take seriously. Think about it - if you tell a police officer that you've got no idea how fast you were driving, it doesn't look great. Personally I would tell a police officer how fast I was driving, but I wouldn't admit to knowing about a light being out.
12:22 I don’t know if that the same in the states, but in Germany the penalty can also be different when you commit the crime/offence on purpose or by accident. And the guy clearly admitted to doing it in purpose
Man. I'm glad my boss really doesn't care about our metrics much in the call center I work at. Yes they post them. And I'm always right in the middle on the averages. With being on the top on some of them. But my resolution rate is very low. But that's because, I work nights and more often then not, I just get people refusing to even do basic trouble shooting. Just 'send tech'.
When a cop stops you and asks "do you know why i stopped you?" And your response is "yes, because it's the end of the month and you're trying to fill up your quota", what would their response be?
Just keep a box of donuts in your car, so when a cop pulls over and asks "Do you know why I pulled you over?" you can respond with "You could smell them?"
Don't ever say "I don't know" if you're asked "Do you know why I pulled you over?". If you do, and you were, for example speeding, You can be hit with a fine for driving without due care and attention as well as speeding. Best thing to do is ask the police why they pulled you over or just remain silent.
I once had a cop ask me if I knew what the speed limit was. I told him flat out it was 40. He told me to slow down then, and left. The speed limit was 35, and I knew it. Apparently, he didn’t.
Hey everyone, I'd like to get other people's opinions on something that happened back in march. I tried making a post AITA on Reddit but just couldn't figure it out. I (21) live with my mother (46) and brother (20). I have been dating my boyfriend, Chris (22) for a year, but I've known him for 8 years (since freshman year). My boyfriend's birthday is in March and his dad had invited me to a family dinner to celebrate. My boyfriend asked if I wanted to spend the night at his house so we can do a bit of little dinking (i can't drive so he takes me home at the end of the night), i decided I was going to and we made a plan that i would tell my mom and go over to his place on Sunday and leave Monday. Well come the next week and I forget to tell her since i was doing a mountain of homework. I go off with my boyfriend and have a great time with his family and finish up some math homework. Chris reminds me to tell my mom before going to bed, so i do. She responded calling me disrespectful saying that I didn't tell her sooner because I knew the answer would no and that I wouldn't have been allowed over there that day. I told her that I wasn't asking her but just letting her know so she or my brother don't wait up for me. She again said that I was disrespectful making me sad since literally the day before she had told me that she was proud of me. I turned on DO NOT DISTURB as to not wake up my boyfriend and went to bed anxious. The next morning I had seen a bunch of texts from her and my brother calling me disrespectful and that I'm choosing a boy over my family, going so far as to saying that she didn't know who raised me. I replied around noon defending my actions essentially saying that I am a grown woman and that I've known my boyfriend longer than she knew my dad before having me. I asked her if I could come back home and she asked if I planned on moving out, i said no. When I came home around midnight (my boyfriend refused to take me sooner, wanting to spend more time with me) the house was quiet. The next day started normal until my mom got back home from work and she completely ignored me, to be honest that's kinda normal in my house when we do something bad or not to my mom's liking. So I figured it would take a day or so for her to blow off steam. A week past and I was still being completely ignored by both my mother and brother. I had an anxiety attack nearly everyday due to my abandonment issues cause by my father's death 14 years ago. It all ending on Friday when my brother told my grandma he was going on a walk, something he's never done before and was always anxious about. He would tell us where he was going ( we don't live the safest neighborhood) i wanted to join him following at a decent distance while walking my dog to make sure he was safe, he rejected the idea. I told him to bring pepper spray just in case, he rejected me. I told him that i don't like the idea of him going alone (he's always had a problem with directions and what if something happened to him) he came back at me asking if I knew what I had done this past weekend, to which I replied that I just spent the night at my boyfriend's house. He walked away and I didn't follow. I preceded to think of every terrible thing that could happen to my little brother, my only reason for me still being alive and had a full breakdown. Screaming and crying wishing to be unalived and wondering what I had done to deserve to be tortured. My mom stayed in the house seemingly uncaring that her daughter, her first born was breaking down on the floor the garage. My mom and I started speaking after that and I became more numb to her presence. So TH-cam Was I in the Wrong?
I would not think so. Both your mothers and brothers reactions here are quite strange. Why are they so possessive and controlling of a 21 year old? This seems to be coming from a patriarchal or elder based mindset. Although you are also being controlling of your brother. Perhaps your anxiety about your brother going for a walk is connected to your mothers and brothers fear of you being away from home
@@threecards333 i know that I'm overprotective of him but until that day he had never expressed any interest in doing that and we were never allowed leave the driveway without someone else.
Last story, on the note of 'just say I don't know' to cops pulling you over. Had an incident with a cop when my brother and I were heading out somewhere, we live on a one way street but we're right at the corner where it's much faster to pull out and go in the opposite direction by, like, six feet max. It's just faster then going all the way down the road to turn off onto the stree we need to go by. We're always careful, nothing has ever happened. Well we did rhat, got on the main road to start our little trek, and a cop car appears out of nowhere with their flights and sirens going. Brothers pulls over and we think they're just gonna pass us on the way to something else. But nope, WE'RE being pulled over. Cop asks him why he thinks she pulled him over, he responds he doesn't know because he honestly didn't, this has never been an issue so we didn't even consider it. She starts to get a bit aggressive with him, relling him not to lie to her and stuff. All while another cop is standing by our car _in the rain_ like we're gonna try to drive away when she has his license and registration for a super minor car stop. Treating us like we were dangerous criminals. It pissed us both off. Especially because 1. It was something so minor and she was treating us like felons. And 2. There was/still is a _seria arsonist_ on the loose in our area and cops were wasting time on something so trivial. I'm talking three or four buildings, all on the same road, being burned to the ground in a matter of weeks, and they were pulling out all the stops on our minor traffic violation. There was also the fact we didn't see the cop car at all until it was upon us, which says to me that they probably sped through a residential area to catch us. The freakin' hypocrisy.
Had an older cop pull me over a couple years ago. He asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?" I say yep, and it's within the speed limit (my state tolerates 5MPH over the posted speed limit). It's been long enough that I don't recall exact details, but he was fishing; the speed limit changed from the town I was leaving to highway speeds and he was checking to see if I knew where the limit had changed so he could cite me for speeding. I spent my childhood in that town, though, so when I told him _exactly_ where the speed limit change was, he left me alone.
About the last story While it's generally a good idea to STFU when you get pulled over, if you know you're speeding it's better to just say "sorry, my bad, won't happen again". If the cop's chill, you get a warning. If the cop is an AH, you just triggered a cavity search. I'm not saying it's right or fair. But it's always better to de-escalate when you can. Besides, it's easier and safer to dispute a ticket in court.
My Dad was pulled over for speeding back before he and my Mom got married and when the cop said that he was speeding my Dad feigned shock; he got away with a warning.
Oh man, that call center story brings back all kinds of unpleasant memories. I worked in the same kind of call center during college, and it was PURE HELL.
Story 3: I feel like there's a version of this story where the IT-guy complains about the idiots who insist on updating their work-essential browsers immediately, breaking the webservice and forcing him to drop everything else to fix the problem they created.
Honestly, that would still be his problem. IT guy should know that if you don't want people to touch anything related to their system, you should not give them default access.
Or Confess to so many, when they call for backup check and see that all of that is not true you can say "Of course not, I bet he told you I was speeding too"
Despite the story being structured as though the IT guy being negligent, he was right; one person experiencing an issue doesn't necessarily require immediate action over other tickets. IT guy's use of the word "prioritize" suggests that larger problems were being tackled first and if there was really a problem that couldn't be chalked down to input error because it happened to multiple people that's actually good thing. It saves time troubleshooting the computer for problems instead of the application.
You're probably breaking some bullshit law from the 1880s that was never repealed or superseded, and is never enforced, but is still on the books meaning you could technically still go to jail for it. Shall I arrange for the firing squad now or later?
To answer the question at the end of the video... Its got nothing to do with hoping you will confess to a crime... its because when you say "Is it because of how fast I was going", or because of "Insert other minor traffic violation" you are hoping to get away with by admitting, the cop immidiately has probable cause to search your vehicle making their life a lot easier if they end up suspecting any other issues...

I wouldn’t call that messing with the it guy so much as requiring the it guy do the job they were hired for
@@lancerevell5979low priority doesn't mean not a priority.
That's just what popped into my mind as this one came up!😂
To add up with what RSlash said in the end : it's also because in some cases, they can hardly prove the reason why they stopped you. So for example, if you knew you were going faster than speed limit and they stopped you for that, they would have to prove you were speeding instead of you confessing to it.
Yes, this is correct. If you "self snitch", you're just making it harder to defend yourself legally later on if things go south.
Respectfully only give the barest minimum of information during any encounter, and otherwise state the 5th and keep silent. Remember anything and everything you say and do can and will be used against you. So don't put ammo in their gun for them, legally speaking.
@@thegrimharvest Assuming you're alive when the cop gets to your window. Sometimes cops will pull someone over just to kill them, especially if it's a black person driving a car that's just a little too nice.
@@agentzapdos4960 If you approach every encounter with the expectation that the cop is ready to mag dump you at a moment's notice, that's all the more incentive to answer as carefully as possible, ask/notify before making any movements whatsoever, plead the 5th, keep silent, and comply to the very best of your abilities, no matter how illegal or unconstitutional the actions taken against you.
If the cop is a trigger happy power tripping thug with a chip on his shoulder and out to add notches to his gun, you don't want to give him even the flimsiest excuse to justify his actions after the fact or to muddy the waters by "resisting" or "obstructing".
He still will try regardles, a crooked cop is gonna be crooked.
There's no certain specific action you can take to prevent a bad cop from abusing his power. Best you can do so that it's easier for yourself and your defense attorney in court afterwards is record the encounter yourself.
The bodycam could always "malfunction" or the footage might "accidentally" get erased after the fact, or the audio was "coincidentally" turned off the whole time.
First time rslash mentioned the "do you know why cops ask you that":
"They're waiting to see if you confess to a different crime like a busted tail light"
Second time he mentioned the same:
"They're waiting to see if you confess to having drugs or there being a warrant for your arrest"
My guy has lost a lot of faith in humanity.😅
Can’t blame them
My mom was once pulled over because she wasn't matching the flow of traffic. She was going too slow compared to other cars. She told the officer that she was going over the speed limit(which she was) and got two tickets, one for going slower than the other cars and the other for speeding.
@@asmith8692 I'd have DEFINITELY fought that in court 😂

That literally is the reason cops ask those questions when they pull someone over, though. This is just reality, nothing to do with "losing faith in humanity"...
OP: "I want this browser issue fixed."
IT: "Is that... a priority task?"
OP: "I will 'make' it a priority task."
Karen: "Go complain to the supervisor then!"
OP: **Complains to the supervisor and gets her fired**
"Congratulations, you played yourself."
😂😂😂 yep!!!😂😂😂
I mean shot herself completely in the foot on that one.
Lol I actually heard this comment 😂 too true!
Also Karen: *Surprised Pikachu Face*
Also what's the idea here? Just to be spiteful? It doesn't benefit her to do this at all.
First Story: So basically, Karen constantly kept trying to screw OP over, told OP to complain to her supervisor, and got herself fired. Lmao, I mean she did tell OP to file complaints
Second Story: The fact this manager caused a lot of people to quit should’ve raised some red flags that this person isn’t suited to be a manager
Third Story: That is just being pure lazy. This IT guy will work on an issue unless its an issue for everyone? That is lazy conduct
Fourth Story: When being a smart ass goes wrong.
for the 3rd story, i can kinda see the logic but *only* if the IT guy was new and didn't know this was a re-occuring issue.
in the office i work at it's common to ask around if a problem occurs before talking to IT. we do this because if it's just a "you problem" it can be fixed with a re-start or a re-install 99% of the time and re-starting/re-installing the program yourself is much faster than contacting IT and waiting for them to go through the bureaucracy before they re-start it for you.
basically, the IT guy's problem wasn't lazyness it was rudeness. if he had taken 2 seconds to just throw out some random advice like "try updating the browser" or "try using Chrome" the OP would have filled him in that it was a re-occuring problem and it woud eventually affect other people
That service is REALLY shoddily made if it breaks on every bowser update. The point of making something for the browser is so that anyone can use the thing easily. If you’re making it for a very specific browser, that kind of defeats the point. Then again this thing was made to work ONLY with IE, the one browser that doesn’t know what the term “standards compliance” means (thankfully discontinued as of a couple years ago).
I can almost promise that IT is currently engaged in malicious compliance. I have a good handful of friends who work in IT, and this is a boss that requires a certain number of tickets, and a certain number of "High priority" tickets. OP helped it work out.
about the last story, I saw something terrible few times ago :
a woman was driving a little bit too fast in the country, and at one point, she bent to search for something on the ground of the car WHILE still driving. She hurt something, and ovbiously roll over something but didn't stop, barely look into her mirror, thinking it was an animal. Later a cop stop her for a totally random reason and asked her that same question "do you know why I stopped you" and she replied something like "because I killed someone and flee"?
It happens that she REALLY rolled avoer a child who fell in the grass and she didn't bother stop to be sure. she was arrested for a crime no one would have known she did if she said nothing
That cop's face would have been priceless in itself. Being told such would have been one hell of a shock to him, even if she thought she was joking. Thing is, while she was arrested, the charges would have likely been contested in the court by her lawyer.

@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 "Vegetable" is not a botanical category, only a culinary one. "Fruit" is both a botanical and culinary category, with overlapping but different meanings, which is where the confusion and the semantic games come from.
In botany, a fruit is any fleshy pod-like object that contains seeds and came from a flower, and may not even be edible. In the kitchen, a fruit is a particular grouping of plant-based foods with a sweeter flavour profile and may include things that aren't botanical fruits (like rhubarb) and exclude things that are (like tomatoes).
Vegetables only exist in the culinary sphere, and may come from any part of a plant, including the fruit.
TL;DR A tomato is a fruit AND a vegetable. This is a pointless debate to make people feel big-brained.

I was chatting with my teen daughter as we were driving to the grocery store on the corner to get stuff to make french toast. The officer rightfully pulled me over & I used a line I saw in a meme. The Officer asked me, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" I replied, "Because you saw me before I saw you?" & I giggled a bit. He laughed. I apologized. He glanced at my license, didn't even run it & told me to watch my speed. I apologized again and that was that 😊

Pro tip. If a cop asks you if you know how fast you were driving the answer is simply yes. If you say no, then he can make up a speed. If you give him a speed assuming you were speeding then you either lied to a cop, or admitted to speeding

For the last story: I knew a guy at work one time who got pulled over for having a headlight out AFTER I warned him he had a headlight out.

I got pulled over for speeding, doing 40 in a 30 (but it was one of those roads where EVERYONE does that, and you only get pulled over if it's 3am and a cop is bored.) The cop asked the classic "Do you know why I pulled you over" I had a sudden moment of clarity and replied "Well if you don't know either, can I go?" And the cop just straight up broke. Snorted and had to walk away for a couple seconds. Comes back and just goes "Slow it down a bit ok? Have a good evening."
It’s so annoying when people come to your desk when they should submit a ticket. The IT guy was probably on his break. He did the right thing saying it isn’t priority because people are always trying to escalate their issue when it is most likely just them.

Is it wrong to tell a cop : I don't know why you pulled me over, but I have this funny feeling you're going to tell me?
There's very few "safe" answers to that question.
If you say anything that indicates you may know why they're pulling you over, then it's supporting the idea you're admitting guilt, which makes their job easier.
"Was I speeding?" "Was it the twenty seven pounds of meth in my backseat?"
If you claim ignorance, that's support for either impairment or negligence on your part.
"I don't know. Why?"
Probably the most neutral response would be something like
"Please tell me, officer."
You're not answering the question, because it's actually irrelevant and it's only purpose is to aid in providing the officer probable cause and reasonable articulable suspicion to continue the detainment or traffic stop.
It doesn't matter if you initially know (or dont know) why the cop stopped you, because either way they're still going to tell you anyway, and anything you say can and will be used against you. So give them only as much info as you absolutely have to, and then keep silent.
Never try to argue a point in the street either. Be polite, follow instructions (even if you believe them to be unlawful) and argue it in court. You gain absolutely nothing from trying to talk back, argue or passively resist, all its going to do is get you in more trouble. And yes resisting doesn't just mean actively fighting, crossing your arms and refusing to follow instruction or not allowing them to cuff you is still resisting and you will get charged for it.
Oh and if you get pulled over for a ten dollar seat belt ticket definitely don't put your seat belt on when you're getting pulled over, then argue with the cop you had it on all along, crush up your 150 dollar sunglasses and start shredding the money in your wallet while having a massive toddler tantrum that you got caught and are getting a ten dollar ticket (yes there's full bodycam footage of it and it's absolutely hilarious)

after admitting to knowing how fast you were driving, they could also just ask you to verify the specific number. if you decline to answer, you get written up for negligent driving because you'd admit to not knowing how fast you were going. if you do answer honestly, you still get the speeding ticket. it's a lose-lose situation if the cop's smart about it.
Actually, the first time I got pulled over, I was speeding and was late for work. I saw the cop on the side of the road after getting over a hill. I pulled over before he ever got the chance to turn his lights on. Was very apologetic, told him I was late, what I did for a living and admitted I was wrong and would be more careful.

Fun fact: some police departments are doing away with the phrase "do you know why I pulled you over". There was a murderer who fled the scene and was pulled over by two officers for speeding. The first one he didn't shoot and the other he did. The reason he shot the second officer was because the officer asked if he (the murderer and speeder) knew why he was pulled over. He thought the officer knew of the murder and shot him before he could be arrested. So out of safety precaution, departments are moving away from using that phrase.
Of course that's why they stopped.
I always speed around 4-7mph over the limit, except in neighborhoods because you gotta be aware of the 3Ds. Dogs, deer and dimwits (mostly kids but they don't know better sometimes) a ticket will cost the same 1-9mph and the same for 10-19 over. So long your registration is good and you don't have an out of state plate, going no more than 4 over they'll leave you alone most of the time.
After last story: don't say "I don't know" when an officer asks why you think you've been pulled over. It could be used against you in court to show recklessness, for example. Instead, either say nothing you're not required to provide (such as identifying information), or respond to the question by asking the officer something like "why did you decide to pull me over?"

Intelligence is NEVER a good substitute for wisdom, but it can significantly accelerate the process of gaining said wisdom.
As for the tyre thing, my excuse would have been that warmer tyres grip better (which they do), that the best way to get heat in them is to accelerate and brake hard (which it is), and that the best way to keep said heat in them is to maintain good speed (which I would have been when pulled over).

First story: Why do you want to screw up someone in a workplace where everything is recorded? Is literally ask to be fired.
Okay, the whole "this is why a cop asks if you know why they pulled you over" Rslash says at the end is *not* true. I'm related to someone [being vague for privacy reasons] who spent over 30 years as an officer in the RCMP, and worked in traffic for a time. I've spoken to a fuckton of that relative's friends about their jobs, and pretty much every cop has to do traffic at some point [it's a career advancement thing].
That statement is objectively false. They're evaluating *your character* and assessing risk. It's their job to make that judgment call and see if you'll do it again, if you're remorseful, etc. They act based on that assessment. If you're considered a risk, you'll very likely get ticketed or otherwise receive the punishment. If you made a mistake, show remorse, etc, then you'll be let off much easier or even with just a warning.
Demonizing the people stuck in the shitty traffic positions [which nobody likes doing by the way, as it's dangerous and people have gotten literally assaulted for just doing their jobs] doesn't help anyone. Not the people driving, and not the officers. The cynical attitude of "they want you to be caught doing something bad" helps nobody.
The police's job isn't to prove guilt, hand out tickets, or anything like that. It's to maintain order and preserve human life. Don't demonize people for doing their damn jobs the way they're supposed to.

So, the IT guy was the recipient of the MalCom? That's a first.
Despite the story being structured as though the IT guy being negligent, he was right; one person experiencing an issue doesn't necessarily require immediate action over other tickets. IT guy's use of the word "prioritize" suggests that larger problems were being tackled first and if there was really a problem that couldn't be chalked down to input error because it happened to multiple people that's actually good thing. It saves time troubleshooting the computer for problems instead of the application.
@@geltric4779 They're still required to respond, even if it's just a copy and pasted list of trouble shooting steps.
@@black1917 That's fair. Giving an indication that it's a work in progress is fine.
9:15 One of the few times where messing with the IT guy actually worked out.
A _lazy_ IT guy, but yeah.
LOL, I always respond to the cop's question of why they pulled me over with "Because you haven't hit your quota of tickets for the month" with big S*** eating grin... some laugh some, just write me a ticket...
Do you know why I pulled you over?
It's not even to get you to confess about things they don't know about. It's about getting you to confess, period.
They do it so that they have more evidence they can put on the citation for the reason they pulled you over. So the cop pull you over for speeding he asked you, "Do you know why I pulled you over " and you respond, Because I was speeding?" he then notes that on his citation. That way, when you come to court and say, "No Judge, I wasn't speeding, he has no evidence." The officer can point to YOUR WORDS AT THE TIME.
But yeah, if you do confess to something else, that won't help either.
It's the same reason they ask you where you're coming from and where you're going. Don't answer questions from a cop
Be polite. Do what you're told to do. And remember you will never win an argument at the roadside
Cops are not trained to ask a driver if they know why ther were pulled over. They are trained to tell the driver the reason for the stop. At least in my state they are. Reasons for this include no one ever confesses to anything above speeding, it sounds dumb, and being upfront with the driver is more likely to gain compliance and cooperation. In 18 years of law enforcement i dont think I've ever asked that.
Last story is when trying to be Sheldon Cooper goes wrong...
I'm pretty sure there was an episode of that show where Sheldon almost gets himself sent to prison for life because he couldn't stop "correcting" the cops.
@agentzapdos4960 yup..he does go to court and gets held in contempt for being a wiseass..
The last story is a perfect example of something I preach. Intelligence & wisdom are not the same. People like to say Im smart but I'm not; im wise.
Friendly reminder folks, don't talk to cops. Ever.
And if you must, limit to two simple phrases: "I want my lawyer", and "I invoke my right to remain silent".
It’s crazy how long standing employees end up leaving as soon the company hire a bad member of management
Cop: do you know why I pulled you over?
smartass me: Is it because of the tactical nuke in the back seat?
five minutes later...
Swat team: come out with your hands up
I've been harsh with you before, maybe even more so than necessary. Having said that, it took watching a few videos made by this guy named Mr Reddito for me to appreciate what a pro you really are.
Aside from constantly reading obviously fake stories, he clearly does little to no prep work. He doesn't clean anything up, he doesn't check how to pronounce a lot of very simple one syllable words and even names and needs a lot of work on which words he needs to emphasize and change his voice inflection.
In other words, you're the man and I'm sorry.
If you know ahead of time that you're going to be late for something. Perhaps buy a box of donuts and when you get asked why a cop pulled you over. Say it's because he/she could smell the donuts and see what happens!
For story 2, its a case of new manager causing problems but not in same way as most other times
I love it when Karens get karma.
No, you do not say I don’t know if an officer pulls you over. That can be perceived as negligence. What you should say is “would you like to tell me officer? “
I keep hearing mixed things about this
You should just lay face-down on the pavement with your hands behind your back as soon as you notice the flashing lights in your rearview mirror. When the cop asks what the fuck you're doing, you say "Getting into position, sir. I will not answer any further questions without a lawyer present".
Last story - interested to know how you think this will end...
COP: Do you know why I pulled you over?
DRIVER: You need directions to the closest donut shop?
COP *into radio*: Shots fired, shots fired, we have one casualty on the side of King's Highway 401 near the 410 interchange, suspect neutralized, requesting EMT.
Story 3: This time it was the IT guy that shouldn't have messed with people.
What a twist, they gotta mess with the IT guy for being lazy. I hate those, too many of them. Priority is meant to help with what's the next task to do, not just if you have to do it or not. I prefer having no tickets at all so I can game in peace with no worries from the boss
Rule of thumb: never offer information to a law enforcement agent if they approach you.
(Info below is specifically for the U.S.)
Only ask:
1) Am I suspected of something?
2) Am I being detained?
3) Am I free to go?
4) Am I under arrest?
Don't talk to a L.E.O. without a lawyer.
Don't let a L.E.O. search your property without a warrant. Always close and lock your door if you step out at the L.E.O.'s request.

Hmmm....
Not entirely true - when a police officer asks, "do you know why I pulled you over?" it can go either way, depending on (a) the alleged infraction, and (b) the officer.
There's a slight chance that they might be trying to get to to admit to further issues, however it's more likely that they are testing your awareness.
If you say that you've no idea why you were pulled over, that could be construed as you being unaware of your actions while driving.. something traffic police take seriously.
Think about it - if you tell a police officer that you've got no idea how fast you were driving, it doesn't look great.
Personally I would tell a police officer how fast I was driving, but I wouldn't admit to knowing about a light being out.
Never confess to anything you haven't been accused of.🤣
12:22 I don’t know if that the same in the states, but in Germany the penalty can also be different when you commit the crime/offence on purpose or by accident. And the guy clearly admitted to doing it in purpose
COP: Do you know why stopped you?!
Chinese guy: BECAUSE I'M BLACK!!!
*Cop:* Do you know why I pulled you over?
*Gabriel Iglesias:* _[Shows his box of just purchased donuts]_ Because you could smell them!😁
Man. I'm glad my boss really doesn't care about our metrics much in the call center I work at.
Yes they post them. And I'm always right in the middle on the averages. With being on the top on some of them. But my resolution rate is very low. But that's because, I work nights and more often then not, I just get people refusing to even do basic trouble shooting. Just 'send tech'.
When a cop stops you and asks "do you know why i stopped you?" And your response is "yes, because it's the end of the month and you're trying to fill up your quota", what would their response be?
BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM "Shots fired, shots fired, suspect neutralized!"
Just keep a box of donuts in your car, so when a cop pulls over and asks "Do you know why I pulled you over?" you can respond with "You could smell them?"
Greetings, fellow Fluffy fan!🤣
Thanks rslash. As usual, dont mess with IT only kinda backfired this time lol
How did Karen get that job not knowing what an MD is?
Don't ever say "I don't know" if you're asked "Do you know why I pulled you over?". If you do, and you were, for example speeding, You can be hit with a fine for driving without due care and attention as well as speeding. Best thing to do is ask the police why they pulled you over or just remain silent.
I once had a cop ask me if I knew what the speed limit was. I told him flat out it was 40. He told me to slow down then, and left. The speed limit was 35, and I knew it. Apparently, he didn’t.
Hey everyone, I'd like to get other people's opinions on something that happened back in march. I tried making a post AITA on Reddit but just couldn't figure it out.
I (21) live with my mother (46) and brother (20). I have been dating my boyfriend, Chris (22) for a year, but I've known him for 8 years (since freshman year).
My boyfriend's birthday is in March and his dad had invited me to a family dinner to celebrate. My boyfriend asked if I wanted to spend the night at his house so we can do a bit of little dinking (i can't drive so he takes me home at the end of the night), i decided I was going to and we made a plan that i would tell my mom and go over to his place on Sunday and leave Monday. Well come the next week and I forget to tell her since i was doing a mountain of homework.
I go off with my boyfriend and have a great time with his family and finish up some math homework. Chris reminds me to tell my mom before going to bed, so i do. She responded calling me disrespectful saying that I didn't tell her sooner because I knew the answer would no and that I wouldn't have been allowed over there that day. I told her that I wasn't asking her but just letting her know so she or my brother don't wait up for me. She again said that I was disrespectful making me sad since literally the day before she had told me that she was proud of me. I turned on DO NOT DISTURB as to not wake up my boyfriend and went to bed anxious.
The next morning I had seen a bunch of texts from her and my brother calling me disrespectful and that I'm choosing a boy over my family, going so far as to saying that she didn't know who raised me. I replied around noon defending my actions essentially saying that I am a grown woman and that I've known my boyfriend longer than she knew my dad before having me. I asked her if I could come back home and she asked if I planned on moving out, i said no. When I came home around midnight (my boyfriend refused to take me sooner, wanting to spend more time with me) the house was quiet. The next day started normal until my mom got back home from work and she completely ignored me, to be honest that's kinda normal in my house when we do something bad or not to my mom's liking. So I figured it would take a day or so for her to blow off steam. A week past and I was still being completely ignored by both my mother and brother. I had an anxiety attack nearly everyday due to my abandonment issues cause by my father's death 14 years ago. It all ending on Friday when my brother told my grandma he was going on a walk, something he's never done before and was always anxious about. He would tell us where he was going ( we don't live the safest neighborhood) i wanted to join him following at a decent distance while walking my dog to make sure he was safe, he rejected the idea. I told him to bring pepper spray just in case, he rejected me. I told him that i don't like the idea of him going alone (he's always had a problem with directions and what if something happened to him) he came back at me asking if I knew what I had done this past weekend, to which I replied that I just spent the night at my boyfriend's house. He walked away and I didn't follow. I preceded to think of every terrible thing that could happen to my little brother, my only reason for me still being alive and had a full breakdown. Screaming and crying wishing to be unalived and wondering what I had done to deserve to be tortured. My mom stayed in the house seemingly uncaring that her daughter, her first born was breaking down on the floor the garage.
My mom and I started speaking after that and I became more numb to her presence. So TH-cam Was I in the Wrong?
I would not think so. Both your mothers and brothers reactions here are quite strange. Why are they so possessive and controlling of a 21 year old? This seems to be coming from a patriarchal or elder based mindset. Although you are also being controlling of your brother. Perhaps your anxiety about your brother going for a walk is connected to your mothers and brothers fear of you being away from home
@@threecards333 i know that I'm overprotective of him but until that day he had never expressed any interest in doing that and we were never allowed leave the driveway without someone else.
Last story, on the note of 'just say I don't know' to cops pulling you over. Had an incident with a cop when my brother and I were heading out somewhere, we live on a one way street but we're right at the corner where it's much faster to pull out and go in the opposite direction by, like, six feet max. It's just faster then going all the way down the road to turn off onto the stree we need to go by. We're always careful, nothing has ever happened.
Well we did rhat, got on the main road to start our little trek, and a cop car appears out of nowhere with their flights and sirens going. Brothers pulls over and we think they're just gonna pass us on the way to something else. But nope, WE'RE being pulled over. Cop asks him why he thinks she pulled him over, he responds he doesn't know because he honestly didn't, this has never been an issue so we didn't even consider it. She starts to get a bit aggressive with him, relling him not to lie to her and stuff. All while another cop is standing by our car _in the rain_ like we're gonna try to drive away when she has his license and registration for a super minor car stop. Treating us like we were dangerous criminals. It pissed us both off.
Especially because 1. It was something so minor and she was treating us like felons. And 2. There was/still is a _seria arsonist_ on the loose in our area and cops were wasting time on something so trivial. I'm talking three or four buildings, all on the same road, being burned to the ground in a matter of weeks, and they were pulling out all the stops on our minor traffic violation. There was also the fact we didn't see the cop car at all until it was upon us, which says to me that they probably sped through a residential area to catch us. The freakin' hypocrisy.
Had an older cop pull me over a couple years ago. He asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?" I say yep, and it's within the speed limit (my state tolerates 5MPH over the posted speed limit). It's been long enough that I don't recall exact details, but he was fishing; the speed limit changed from the town I was leaving to highway speeds and he was checking to see if I knew where the limit had changed so he could cite me for speeding. I spent my childhood in that town, though, so when I told him _exactly_ where the speed limit change was, he left me alone.
I LOL'd hard at the ticket story. Such an awesome burn.
Knowledge is knowing many things about the universe; wisdom is knowing when to shut the f*** up.
At the end of the first story, i thought op was going to say their manager and karen were hooking up and so he had her back.
Did that person in the second-to-last story… mess with the IT guy?
A _lazy_ IT guy, yes.
i've been driving down 12psi on every tire on my sports cars for almost 2 decades, that physicist isn't wrong lol
About the last story
While it's generally a good idea to STFU when you get pulled over, if you know you're speeding it's better to just say "sorry, my bad, won't happen again".
If the cop's chill, you get a warning.
If the cop is an AH, you just triggered a cavity search.
I'm not saying it's right or fair. But it's always better to de-escalate when you can. Besides, it's easier and safer to dispute a ticket in court.
Call centre culture is so bad. It’s full of ego and pettiness. After 12 years in it, I had to leave. I’m never going back.
how you even survived 12 years in there is a mircale. you must've had the patience of a saint or something.
@@phoenix402 I’ve built up a lot of patience over the years but the industry has had an immense effect on my mental health. 😅
LOL! The last story has total Tom Brady apologist vibes! We didn't under inflate the footballs, it was just the weather.
My Dad was pulled over for speeding back before he and my Mom got married and when the cop said that he was speeding my Dad feigned shock; he got away with a warning.
Oh man, that call center story brings back all kinds of unpleasant memories. I worked in the same kind of call center during college, and it was PURE HELL.
Story 3:
I feel like there's a version of this story where the IT-guy complains about the idiots who insist on updating their work-essential browsers immediately, breaking the webservice and forcing him to drop everything else to fix the problem they created.
Honestly, that would still be his problem. IT guy should know that if you don't want people to touch anything related to their system, you should not give them default access.
Or Confess to so many, when they call for backup check and see that all of that is not true you can say
"Of course not, I bet he told you I was speeding too"
Despite the story being structured as though the IT guy being negligent, he was right; one person experiencing an issue doesn't necessarily require immediate action over other tickets. IT guy's use of the word "prioritize" suggests that larger problems were being tackled first and if there was really a problem that couldn't be chalked down to input error because it happened to multiple people that's actually good thing. It saves time troubleshooting the computer for problems instead of the application.
How bout a better option: don't commit crimes be lawful and never have issues...
You're probably breaking some bullshit law from the 1880s that was never repealed or superseded, and is never enforced, but is still on the books meaning you could technically still go to jail for it. Shall I arrange for the firing squad now or later?
To answer the question at the end of the video... Its got nothing to do with hoping you will confess to a crime... its because when you say "Is it because of how fast I was going", or because of "Insert other minor traffic violation" you are hoping to get away with by admitting, the cop immidiately has probable cause to search your vehicle making their life a lot easier if they end up suspecting any other issues...
I love listening to your videos! Me and my boyfriend normally listen to them waiting for class to start😼
