Story 2: Fun Fact, the Family Medical Leave Act makes it illegal to deny leave for employees due to a critical illness for spouse or child or to take punitive action against someone for using that leave. So, what that boss did was illegal and op could have sued or just reported the business to the department of labor and forced the business to pay major fines. Had either of those two things happened, the boss would have been fired and blamed for the incident, and any lawsuit would have been transfered to her personally. $100,000+ lawsuit for a major business: unpleasant. $100,000+ lawsuit for an individual making the horrible wages retail managers make: bankruptcy, loss of anything valuable like house or car, and never working in the industry again. Source: business degree and 6+ years in retail management.
@@robertc.9503 - Definitely. Fluff seemed to assume the sensitivity course was paid. Might not have been. It said she couldn't work that week, that's all. Even if it was unpaid leave or effectively suspension, at least she still had a job. That could have gone much worse for her. She even admitted she was a mother herself. The lack of empathy is what I find the most disturbing. Had she taken a moment to consider what she would do if it was her kid, she might have changed her tune, which was what the doctor was trying to encourage by asking that.
@@gorilladisco9108 - True, the OP was relaying someone else's story, but the point still stands. What the Karen boss did was illegal. If you swap OP with their co-worker, it still applies. Oversight on part of the commenter I'm sure. Sometimes I forget with these secondhand stories too.
Interesting, and here i thought we are the only ones pulling that over here. US? Never occured to me that they would. See? That Socialism btw. translates to FOR THE PEOPLE. Otherwise you wouldnt have this thing in your law's.
The Karen in Story 2 knew exactly what life support meant, just as the Karen in Story 3 knew exactly what a heart attack meant. Neither of them cared. They're not ignorant, just pure evil.
People like her honestly think: you should have thought of that before you became poor. So along that line, you should have thought about that before you became a low level employee, you don't have rights, you can't be there for dying daughter. And the same ahole manager will whine when they can't find employees willing to work under those terms that people just don't want to work anymore. For you, ahole, people don't want to work for you.
Last story reminds me of my family. They made my husband and I sit at the kids table at Christmas and let my neices sit at the adult table. Because they had kids and we didn't. Single teenaged parents vs 2 married adults with fertility issues who didn't have a kid for 11 years. OP was so NTA, we stopped going to Christmas dinner after that and my family just couldn't understand why.
Actually was wondering what they would do with teenage parents..... by their definition a teenage parent = adult in the story. Also sorry to hear that happened to you x.x
Yeah that's exactly what I would do. And maybe twist the knife with a "I don't know why you want two more kids there. We're too young to bring food and we're too young to babysit." Just lean all the way into it. I got put at the kids' table when I was in my 20s and I *had* a kid. Because they wanted me to babysit, since my siblings had multiple kids (and I was the eldest sibling, even). So I started a food fight. My parents thought it was hilarious. My siblings, not so much, but they learned a valuable lesson, and that lesson was that I am a terrible influence on children who are not my own. 😄
@@recycledapathy7411 Yeah, I'm the Uncle that always bought the toys that made the noise to send home with the little cousins, nieces, and nephews. As for the kids table, I'm Autistic so I usually went into the living room and ate on a tray in the recliner so I didn't have to interact with a bunch of people at a time.
@@recycledapathy7411 I taught my nieces how swear in three different languages and the art of the “pull my finger” game. They still talk about it 20 years later and laugh. Not mom she was kinda pissed. They love their uncle 😁
that last story, I was put at the kids table when I was twenty five once...the rest of the kids were in middle school at best...family started asking why I'd rather spend my holidays alone after that and I never went back until I was over 30.
Good on you for removing yourself from the situation. I would've loved to see OP gut check the family by saying "so no matter how many years I put in at my work, and no matter how much life experience I gain, you're saying that I will always be a child because I am medically incapable of having children?" And just watch the family stumble
Story #3’s Karen situation reminds me of a time when I was one of the firefighters responding to a multi-vehicle accident on the interstate, complete with triage due to multiple patients. One of the “walking wounded” was getting a tad…”annoyed,” to be polite, that they hadn’t been attended to beyond initial triaging due to our taking care of more severely injured patients. This patient yelled at one of my colleagues, “How loud do I have to scream to get your attention?” My colleague, bless him, shot back, “It’s the ones who _can’t_ scream that go first, and if you don’t understand that I’ll be happy to have one of the police officers arrest you for interfering with us!” That shut the patient up in a BIG hurry!
Story 6. When the aunt said OP was a child because he didn't have children, OP should have something along the lines of, "no children that I know of," or, "I'm still waiting for the results of the DNA test." OP should have also mentioned sperm banks: let's see the "adults" at the table freak out.
The second story made me remember something that happened when I was 5 years old. I had a very awful accident with a glass bottle, I was running with the bottle in hand and I fell badly and got my wrist cut open with the broken shards…it was awful. Anyway, when my grandma called my father to his job. His boss decided to do 2 amazing things for him, ask a fast driver coworker to take the company car and take my father and me to the hospital, and give my dad a blank check to cover any hospital bill… In the end, everything was fine (nothing life-threatening) and my father gave the check back to his boss. That is what I call an amazing boss.
That boss was a BOSS! Get someone else to drive an emotional father to the hospital with their hurt kid AND see to it that there’s no financial hardship on his employee. That’s a boss that cares about his people.
This reminds me of Dad's Shift Boss when I had my Kidney Transplant. Dad was a Miner & it was Christmas time, major complications & there were hundreds of miles between us. Then Dad found out he had to go in Christmas Eve & there was no way he could come down to me & Mom. As he'd literally have only a few hrs before having to come back. So it was rough, but we'd have to spend Christmas apart. So Dad goes into work Christmas Eve Morning & is in the Locker Room when the Shift Boss came up to him. The following happened… SB : Hey Red (Dad's Nickname), what are you doing here? Confused Dad : I’m working today. Where am I supposed to be? SB : You’re should be packing a bag to London. (Ontario) He then clapped on the shoulder & leaned in… Look, we don't need you. Your Family does. I'll fix it to look like you were here. Now get the Hell out of here & Merry Christmas. Dad always said that's the fastest he left the Mine. Mom didn't tell me he was coming, so when he walked in my Hospital Room… Yeah. 😊 Thankfully the Team got things turned around & I was able to keep the Kidney & so far, so good. Anyway…Thought I'd share. Take Care!! 😊
I had a supervisor who hated video games and when he found out I scheduled my vacation time to coincide with release dates, he had me fired. Jokes on him, the job i got afterward pays me double what I made, and my entire team are gamers.
Where I live, you could have sued his ass off for that. Better yet, unions here are mandatory, and they would have gladly helped you in the process, both financially and pointing you in the direction of a good lawyer.
I never had a problem like that since the bosses I had are gamers as well. The first time our new manager at the place I work at currently saw I had a switch he asked me about it. He's a chill guy (Sometimes but that's another story)
Last story: Based on the Aunt's attitude, the "adult" conversation at the adult table would not have been worth OP's time to listen and contribute. Quite frankly, OP's departure would be more of an educational topic for their family to discuss than anything else they might have planned...not that I expect them to learn much from it.
I mean, the part of being entitled for letting EKid put some sprinkle, it's midly infuriating. There is no arm... if he use tools to put the sprinkle. But, the kid taking a sip, EM should have transform in an instant punishing machine. Than EM throwing the cofee & not paying : what an AH! Meaning she understand that her kid did something somewhat wrong and now just bail out to avoid responsability. Mom of the year! Is there Karen awards like there is Darwin awards? She could run for 'Karen mom'
Story 2: Amazing how bad managers and bosses expect employees to drop everything in their lives including things they have no control over to work for their bosses paycheck yet when they have things to do outside of work they expect all the privileges without being call out on it. At least HR has the sense to knock the manager down a bit and make realize that unacceptable behavior.
HR knew the manager was in violation of FMLA and were running damage control to avoid a lawsuit... which OP could have definitely called the labor board over as well as sue for lost wages or wrongful termination.
Yeah I was expecting the mother to quit after her boss threatened her with a write-up. As well as taking her to court for that emotional distress that she threatened her with losing her job because of her daughter's life on the line. I'm surprised HR didn't fire her because she's a liability for this kind of stuff.
I would have stayed after being threatened with a write up, if only to make sure the boss ended up getting fired for pulling that crap. Then maybe quit afterward, or sue, depending on the outcome.
Story 3: I'm not an expert on these things, but could Karen have been arrested for impeding OP from saving that man's life? He was actively dying of a heart attack, the daughter was not. Like, Karen could have been arrested, and she probably would still call OP the monster for "Not taking care of my daughter"
While in Airborne school a fellow soldier fell out at the end of a 20 mile run, his head bouncing off the curb. Being a freshly created medic with 2 years of premed under my belt, I stopped to assist and a captain screamed at me to get back in formation. So I screamed back “I’m a medic, I’ll finish the run after the ambulance gets here!”. I thought for sure I was f@$ked. Nope, not a word about it.
Interfering with medical personnel, trying to save a life, is widely considered to be "unlawful violence" and if they die it's manslaughter. I have heard of people getting attempted murder charges for blocking doctors/nurses/paramedics from helping someone in medical peril and causing death.
Last Story - OP is NTA. No doubt that the ‘adults’ wanted to use her as a free babysitter. OP did the right thing by taking her food that she brought and leaving. I probably would’ve done worse than that.
There's no amount of sensitivity training that could possibly fix the hot mess that is story 2. That manager quite clearly lacked even the most basic level of human empathy, all the more shocking from someone who purports to also be a mother. Had I'd been her boss I'd ask her to give me one good reason not to fire her on the sport.
Story 6: Bro, the disrespect from the aunt. Like, OP is an adult, not a parent, the aunt is thinking "Parents Table," not "Adults Table." And the fact that the other adults is backing her up, yeah they don't deserve any food from OP for that, they better apologize
That's almost the point where you go completely NC with the family. If they want to treat you as a kid, they sure as hell don't respect you and they never will.
@@angel196989AGREED! And I would turn and leave, letting them all know I won't attend anything where Awnty is attending. 🤨 Total NC with her, and any flying monkeys supporting her.
I agree with you in fact, I would’ve just blocked them all and made a big hole. That’s a complete lack of respect and frankly, I have no time for people like that even my own family and yes, there are members of my own family. I am NC with and at this point I don’t care
*Story 6-* My hubby and I are both the oldest of 4, but we can’t have kids because of medical reasons. And at the same time, we’re the most stable out of all 8 of our siblings. Most of our siblings either rent/live with our parents or borrow a lot of money. I’ll admit, my hubby and I act like we’re 13, but that doesn’t mean we’re not adults! (My dad _actually_ told my hubby and I *not* to grow up, and people say to listen to your parents right? 😉 lol)
Story 2: I can confidently say that if I was within striking distance of that boss, HR would have to put up job postings for two positions after I was arrested. That woman was vile
Well then you’d be without your daughter too, or at least add to take anger management classes before you saw her if the judge was Catholic School nun strict. I however would put you on probation with anger management if the law allowed that, otherwise I would give you the bare minimum punishment the law allows.
Story 2: Sensitivity class my @ss. She should have been fired on the spot. Karens have no sensitiviy what-so-ever, so all the classes in the world will not stop her from being a Karen. OP, I am so very happy that your daughter pulled through, and I hope that the hospital was able to pinpoint the allergen. If any of the food she ate was fried, I suggest checking for peanut allergy.
Story 6: my response to hearing at 22 years of age that I have to sit at the Kids Table until I'm a parent: "Really, Aunt? So what you're telling me is that If your daughter got pregnant at 14 and we found out That I/my wife is infertile then we would have a fourteen-year-old at the grown-ups table and a twenty-six-year-old at the kids table?" And the only thing I would have to apologize to Aunt about in that situation that is the fact that I said that whole thing loud enough for her ten-year-old daughter at the Kids Table to hear as well as everybody else at the whole picnic
A child is on life support because of something they ate, and the manager insisted the assistant manager must keep to the employee schedule? Say what? Really? The assistant manager daughter could die, and all that manager can say is keep to the schedule? Is that manager stuck in cement that she couldn't open the store? That person should not be in management anywhere. Part of a main manager's job is to cover for those who've had emergencies and won't be going to work. If that manager won't do her job properly, then she needs busted back to a regular employee and make a competent person the store manager. That woman in the ER didn't listen when that doctor said the daughter would be okay, even though she was experiencing a side-effect of the medication. Blocking that doctor from leaving the room to attend a heart attack victim was beyond gross conduct. Had that doctor bodily moved her, she would have accused him of assault. But that's what he should have done if one of those nurses hadn't moved that woman out of the way. To bad that woman can't be banned from the ER, making it necessary for another family member to bring the daughter to the ER. If that Starbucks has security cameras, they should review the video until they find the point where Karen's face can be clearly seen. Then print it out, hang it up, and let everyone who works there know that she is not to be served. That she is to be told to leave the next time she comes in. And print out the entire story why she isn't to be served. Why do Karen's shut down their ability to comprehend sentences when they're told, "I don't work here?" It's an easy sentence to say and easy to understand. That individual is not employed that business; isn't receiving a paycheck from that business; isn't on that business's work schedule. That person has no authority to do anything but be a customer. How hard is that to understand. If that Karen in Micky D was tired of waiting, please, go somewhere else.
Story 6. Had a friend who’s family had a similar policy about adults at the adult table and kids at the kids table even though they were all over 21. I cheered him up calling it the has been table and told him he should create some drama around their stupid standards. He took my advice further than I thought, got his cousins and siblings in on it and when that moment came they asked if they could sit at the has been table after they’ve been divorced 3 times put on 100 extra pounds worked a dead end job for 30 years and ran off in the middle of the night to drink away our troubles, among other things they all said to the adults. I’m told the so called adults were very pissed and yelled at the so called kids, one of whom responded by saying that’s what her parents and said about them in private. My friend was happy the dinner was very short and had lots of leftovers.
A friend of mine told me about a time she was at work and between a perfect combination Diabetes, high blood pressure, stress combined into one hell of a bloody nose. She went into the bathroom and spent the next forty or so minutes trying to stop it. If anyone knows what happens with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and blood loss; there's a bit of "which way did he go, George" and little birds flying around the head. No sooner did she get back to her desk to recover; the HR director came to her and spent an hour chewing her out for bleeding. The HR lady went so far as to give her several plastic bags "In case it happens again." I'm happy to say she got healthier, but she made sure everyone knew the "official HR policy" about first-aid. "GOOD GOD, DON'T BLEED ON THE FURNATURE!!!"
Last story: Simple solution. Just tell all those family members they are dead to you, until they apologize and get aunt to apologize. Don't respond to them until a year is up. Then when one of them contacts you, tell them they know your terms. Is everybody ready to apologize? If not, then tell them to try again next year. They need to understand that something that seems trivial to them, is important to you. And your feelings are the only ones that matter here.
My middle daughter had only been at her new job for 2 months when my youngest, then 27, had a major medical crisis and ended up in a coma on life support. Middle daughter’s boss told her to work when she can and fellow employees covered an entire shift or half of one for an entire month. Middle daughter still works for the company 10 years later.
Last story, what about people who physically can't have children due to medical reasons or choose not to? Does that they can never be an "adult"? So ridiculous
I had a boss who decided to hold onto a complaint letter about me for 4 months and waited until the day I told her I had breast cancer. She did garbage like that to 4 other staff members and probably thought we had no idea. I still have a copy of that email along with a large folder of other hostile emails. Friends, print copies and send to your private emails or take screen shots. Emails can get wiped easily.
Kids table story: If I heard that from my parents and the grandparents, I'd be walking out, too. Like, they're your kids, not mine, do your job and raise them. If you wanted to have adult time, you should've hired a baby sitter.
Story 3 - I’m absolutely appalled and disgusted by that Karen’s behavior. I’m so glad that the Grandfather survived but if he had died that Karen should’ve been held accountable for manslaughter.
Ok Story 2 just triggered my PTSD..Luckily My employer was the absolute opposite. 3 of my coworkers (including 2 Supervisors) left their homes at 2am to drive an hour to the hospital to stand with me.
I'm sure that was also a great big strike on her record with the HR department. I wouldn't be surprised, if at the time of the recording of this video, she had been fired
Story 4 the barrista should report the entitled mother to their manager and more than likely the next time the karen shows up they will be charged for the drink and banned from the location.
Story 6: That sounds like some relatives of mine. I was home visiting and went to a family gathering. I was immediately told I needed to sit at the children's table since I was still a child (I was 20). When I refused and said I was an adult the relative in question commented "Compared to me, why do you deserve to be called an adult?" to which I responded "You sit on your fat ass all day drinking wine and watching TV, I on the other hand, am in on leave after returning from a military deployment." I can't stand people like the aunt in that story.
Story #6 she is NOT the a-hole. I would have handled it differently, but no question that aunt was absurdly rude and who gives a damn about "balanced" tables ? Me, I would have been kind to those child and REFUSED to EVER attend another family function EVER until I get a full apology. And the apology better be in front of the rest of the family since the insult was in front of the family.
Story 2. That doctor deserves a raise, doubled Christmas bonus and an all expense paid vacation for handling that Karen like an MVP! 😎😎😎 Last Story. So let me see if I understand OP's aunt's logic: he has a job, pays rent, is legally able to drink alcohol and can drive a car...but because he doesn't have any children of his own, that makes him still a child...? My mind...it has been thoroughly f*cked! 😵😵😵
Story 6: Don't even give them 'en loco parentis' rights (if that's possible or even the right wording) for when you're rushed to the hospital and can't make decisions for yourself. If they don't respect you now, how are they going to respect you when you're on death's door?
Story one.... That uncaring boss definitely needed firing, or at very least reduced to an entry-level position. The Doctor was a BOSS! 👍 Story two.... Rabid Karen needs to face a life-threatening illness herself, and be under care of Nurse Ratched. 😂
Story 3 .... UGH!!! That was so frustrating. They really need a unbending rule to just say to the patience that they need to attend to a much more critical emergency patients and just leave in any way possible, like body check that Fluff mention. It's a matter of importance and not who came up first. Story 5 ... More frustrated grunts, with added table bumping.
I would shove her out of the way for sure if I was in the doctor's situation. I don't think that doctors are allowed to do things like shove people (I could be wrong, I'm not a doctor) but that was a life or death situation.
Regarding sitting at the kitty table, all of the kids of my generation, which was the third, were supposed to sit at the kiddy table, but a cousin of mine, who was a year younger than me, got to sit at the adult table while I still got stuck at the kiddy table… why cuz I’m the black sheep of the family. To make matters even better the tables were in two separate rooms. There are many reasons why I went NC with that side of the family… that’s just one.
Story 2: I did not know sensetivity classes were a thing, but now I really hope more Karens end up being ordered to take these classes. Edit: Story 6: OP is NTA. The rest of the family are complete idiots, but that aunt takes the cake. Ironically, she's actually the one with the 6-year-old mentality
I had two former co-workers of mine who had to take the classes or get fired, and I remember when all the Starbucks were closed down so all the employees could receive the training after a couple problems with racist baristas having black customers arrested and putting racist slurs on the cops instead of the customers names
Sensitivity classes don't really work though. Most people don't change their opinions or actions until something affects them personally. This is why I believe EVERYONE should work retail for at least a year.
Sending a Karen to a Sensitivity Training class is a hellish punishment...for the teacher. Come on boss, what did the instructor do to deserve that. Unless the class involves getting cracked on the back with a whip for every wrong response they make, the Karen ain't gonna learn a thing.
Story 2 - I had something like this happen to me. Not as severe as a family member being in the hospital. I worked at Costco as a sampler when I was 18. After 2 months of working there I asked my boss for Saturday off because I was having family over to visit, my boss said ‘no problem’ and that was that. When Saturday came I get a call at 10 AM from my boss demanding to know why I wasn’t at work. I told her that she said that it was okay for me to take the day off, she denied it and demanded that I come ASAP. I go in and she got mad at me and wrote me up for being late. I fought it and luckily another coworker backed me up cause she was there when I asked. later she got reprimanded and my write up was torn apart. After that she hated me but I ended up quitting later to go to trade school.
3rd story: I would've tried to get Karen blacklisted from the hospital. Just that hospital, there are plenty of other places to go to, even if they take longer to get to/not as good as OP's hospital. If Karen was allowed to pull this stunt again, she might succeed in killing someone else, just because her kid had insomnia or something.
About the last story I wonder what the idiotic aunt and the part of the family, who approved of her idiotic opinion, would say to my daughter (38 years old) and my son (51 years old) which are without kids by choice. Pathetic people!
I was lucky growing up. I am tall, and always looked and acted older than I was. As a High School freshman I was mistaken for an assistant teacher a time or two. I even graded some seniors' papers once in study hall. 😂 My family was great. At sixteen, I was promoted to the Adults Table during holiday get-togethers. Teed off my little sister. 😊 As an adult (I'm 66 now) all my close friends tended to be several years older than me.
@@lancerevell5979I never sat at the kids' table (to my knowledge) as I have always been more mature than people my own age. Even now, my friends are younger and older than me. My two closest friends are in their mid-20s while I am in my early 40s. When I was in school, I tended to get along with the teachers much more so than with my classmates.
Last story: I probably would have spiteful and talked about a bunch of things the parents wouldn't want their kids to hear. Let's talk about the birds and the bees, kids. 😂
Or tell the kids the “family stories” about scandalous family secrets: this uncle was in prison for embezzling; these aunts are alcoholics; grandpa was an ax murderer who died in a hospital for the criminally insane; that cousin is a secret drinker and shoplifts; that kind of thing. The kids will then ask their parents about all the embarrassing, juicy stories! 😆 😈. Am I evil? 😇
Story 2: That's a violation of FMLA I'm not a lawyer but a loved one in critical condition should be covered by FMLA That karen opened the store for a lawsuit from the ASM if a good boss saw that stunt performed by a manager I'm pretty sure those are valid grounds for termination
The first story: I knew someone like Jane. Let's call her Kelly. She had two kids, one from each marriage seven years apart. Her daughter was her eldest. Kelly never kept a job, lived off of her much beleaguered second husband and spent his hard-earned money quicker than he could earn it. She always had her hair done, her nails done, a full pack of cigarettes and booze in the fridge. Bills and living expenses were always an afterthought, presuming they even entered her mind in the first place. Kelly was so entitled, she literally believed that she should be paid just for existing and the world owed her just because she was here. Despite having a four-year degree and being qualified for numerous jobs, Kelly was always perpetually unemployed or on extended “sabbaticals.” She just so eternally last that she didn't want to work. Her financial irresponsibility led to her kids often going without the bare necessities i.e. clothes that fit, shoes that weren't too small, food to eat an living in a home that didn't have working central air which looked like it belonged on Hoarders. Shut down by everyone else she knew, Kellydidn't even ask, but demanded, that I part with my hard-earned money, my nest egg, to save her and her brood from potentially ending up homeless. She often resorted to the despicable practice of using her then-minor children to get handouts from people then would turn into a ghost when it was time to pay back what she owed. In the time that I knew her, she was evicted from two homes and lost two others to foreclosure. Also, during that time period, she had two vehicles repossessed to due to not keeping up with the payments and as a result of her record unemployment another stopped working completely because she never had the money to maintain it. It should come as no surprise whatsoever, she tried to bum rides off of anyone she could, including me. When I told her no, she would throw tantrums that would've embarrassed a toddler. To equate her horrible personality with her equally horrible credit rating, would be a fair comparison. Because I am adamantly child-free by choice and single, she went off on me for not helping “a mother in need.” I remember she said verbatim: “If you have all that money to go and do things, then you can just give it to me.” I couldn't even believe that she was so brazenly entitled or that she didn't even try to hide her true selfish nature. I told her, in no uncertain terms, that it was neither my responsibility to pay her bills for her nor it wasn't my fault that she had two kids she never wanted or that she hooked up with some rando off the internet and got pregnant by him because she wasn't on birth control. She was aghast that I called her out and then told me she was going to go rat on me to her husband. I told her to go and do it. I told her, he had my number and he was more than welcome to call me up and I would explain everything, factually with no embellishment, including how she spent her afternoons while he was at work. My thinly-veiled threat of exposing her extramarital affairs--I admit it was just a shot in the dark and I had no idea that I had unknowingly struck gold--rendered her dead silent. It should come as no surprise whatsoever, that the phone call never came and she probably just ranted to him about what I butthole I am until he told her to shut the frick up. I did hear through the grapevine, that her kids eventually grew up as children do, cut contact with her and she has also been barred from seeing her grandchildren. I also heard that her and her hubby (her youngest’s father) are, despite all odds, still married. I say a rosary for him every night. He needs all the help he can get.
@@Kelle0284 Her ex-husband knew what she was like and only sent what was necessary for child support. It should come as no surprise whatsoever, she spent the bulk of her child support money on herself. Illegal, if you didn't know. I also wasn't the only person she had duped into believing that she just “needed a little help.” She was a con woman. She used a lot of people in the time that I knew her. I was one of them. Once I wised up, I closed my wallet and kept my distance. Suddenly, I was an enemy because I wouldn't keep helping her or make her priority number one. That's how narcissists are. If you're not on their side or helping them achieve their agenda or against what they are against, you are the enemy. It didn't take long for people to realize that she was the common denominator and everyone else around her couldn't all be the bad guy. It's a telltale sign that someone is the root cause of all of their problems when they're surrounded by a bunch of wrongdoers and they're always playing the victim. I just wish I had that clarity back then and knew to avoid her.
Story 2: the Karen is definitely a Ahole you don’t know if the AMs daughters would have been dead and her writing up AM for calling out because of a love one in the hospital is so messed up she shouldn’t just have a sensitivity class she should be fired
I'd have been fired. I would have told that manager Karen exactly where to go and what do when she got there. NOBODY and NOTHING takes precedence over a dying or critically ill child! 🤨
Story 3:That insensitive mother has got one too many screws loose and as for almost killing somebody's grandfather that i believe is 3rd-degree manslaughter
This is fantastic news Silver. I'm absolutely delighted and over the moon for you and your impending departure from the hospital. Not only have you survived a serious illness, but you thrived. Doing lives, chatting without impairment, and having a wee laugh all whilst keeping strong and healing. You really are an amazing person. I'm so glad you are headed home soon, be it ever so humble... Congratulations in the massive WIN Silver. And im really happy for your daughters. ❤
How story 2 would happen if it was me = Karen : Hey, i know your kid is on the verge of death and you don't want to leave his/her side. But you HAVE to open the store! My answer = Then the store will stay closed today. *click* And put it on mute. Also report her to HR. Also to have her fired or relocated because i would NOT want to work in such a toxic workplace!!!! And if she did it again, i would sue for every penny i can get from that c0w! EDIT : Story 3 : In my country, that doctor/nurse could have legally pushed Karen to the side and call the cops on her because she's (prettyy much) causing someone to lose his/her life emergency. And if Karen would go to court if accidently injured. All she would get is a : Too bad, so sad story from the judge and also be fined on top for wasting such recources and stuff.
OP just needed to push her out of the way, I mentioned to the old man's family about her so they can maybe possibly press charges against her. Also The other nurse that came to find OP should've been grabbing a security officer at the same time to make sure that if she was being detained like that the security officer could take care of her.
Story 2: I always wonder if the stories on the Dark Fluff channel are actually true, but even if these are recreations of events that actually happened somewhere, I am so grateful that where I work, NOTHING like this ever happens. I'm fortunate to have a supervisor who is THE most caring, nurturing person in the world, will have her team's back but can be the iron fist in the velvet glove if required, mainly if someone is being an a-hole to someone on our team or is just being one in general in our section and trying to pull a fast one by bypassing rules/regs.
He gets them from Reddit as well as submitted emails, so there may be fakes here and there; but he has done several videos where the OPs posted pictures or videos of the related story, so yes; he has confirmed true stories among his postings.
Years ago, I worked in a Hotel that went from the best in town to little more than a nursing home, in a very short time. ( this was the fault of the reservations manager, an embittered old woman who should have retired many years before, she was a confirmed man hater as well, her favorite truck was every time a reservation was made for a male guest, she would " lose" the reservation, so that when the guest arrived, there would be no reservation, she would then act like it was somehow the guest's fault, and he would be given a less then desirable room, but only after much hassle, ( she wouldn't pull this on any female guest however, they were always warmly welcomed, and given the best the house had to offer) every major company in town, and most of the minor ones, grew tired of her games, and switched their business to the other brand new Inn in town. Well after working there for over a year, with no time off, ( and being vastly underpaid) I decided to ask for some vacation time, ( in part to have time to look for a new job) So I approached her, to ask for some vacation, only to get a steely eyed glare, and a haughty " you don't GET a vacation here"! So I backed off, as I needed the job, and didn't want to raise her ire ( she was treated like the queen bed of the hive, and most employee's were scared to death of her) To my surprise, a few weeks later the hotels HR director came to me a few weeks later, vacation schedule in hand, and asked me when I wanted to take my vacation, since it was 1976, and the big bicentennial weekend was coming up so wanting to go visit some friends in the Texas Hill Country, and take part in the festivities there, I asked for and was granted the two weeks surrounding the 4th, so I made my airline reservation and plans accordingly, the day my vacation started, my dad drove me to the airport, and I caught my flight,but when dad got home, the phone was ringing off the wall, when dad answered it was the old bat demanding to know why I was not at work! Dad simply replied, " by now he's probably in the air above St Louis" and hung up! Upon my return, I was summoned to the office, where the old bat ( she was in her 80s) demanded to know who I thought I was taking a vacation, after she told me I wasn't entitled to! At this point, the HR director, overhearing the conversation, informed her that I was indeed entitled to the time off, and that he had granted it to me. That put her in her place, and she barely spoke to me for several months then one day she handed me a paycheck for 68.00 that was for two weeks of work when I asked why the amount was so small she just sneered, and said I was lucky that it was that much! I quit on the spot, walked out and filed charges of wage theft with the state board of wages, and standards, the investigation proved that I was not the only one so treated, and that was the end of her!
Story 2: I'd tell the manager's boss "No. She needs to be fired. She insisted I came in while my daughter was sick and wrote me up for the stupidest reason". Let me tell you if that happened at my work I'd leave asap and tell our HR that if they want me back get rid of the insensitive boss then maybe I'd consider coming back
The third story. I'm not a lawyer but yeah I feel a case can be made that cause Karen refused to let the doctor go to the emergency. That that lead to the guys death. Does not matter age of the person at all.
I’d go to the kid’s table and behave like a total kid. Be loud, rowdy, eat with my mouth open, encourage playing with food. Maybe even a food fight. When called out I’d say “you said I was considered a kid so I’m acting like it. If what you actually wanted was someone to supervise the kids you should have been honest because I didn’t sign up for that.” Also I hate when older adults expect adult responsibilities (I.e. bringing food to the picnic) from young adults but don’t extend adult privileges to them (I.e. the adult table)
The more of these I hear the more "I had to walk uphill both ways to school so you should have to as well" vibes I get. I heard a quote, "The greatest trick CEOs have pulled is making lazy be the worst thing you can be"
Last story - if that was so true of life, then I’d have to sit on the kids table too ! I’m infertile from birth, so can’t have kids ! And I’m 54 ! 🤣😂🤪😂🤣
Last story... I'd have sat at the kids table and really, really wound them up into a real sh*t show, then just left. Bye bye, have fun calming them down!
*Third Story:* I must be critically cynical because that Karen's actions do not surprise me in the slightest. Also yes, she could be charged with manslaughter or even third-degree murder through medical interference if he died. At the very least she would easily lose a civil case brought by his estate against her.
Story 3: Karen is VERY lucky that she was not brought up on charges of Attempted Negligent Homicide...she could have very well caused that person's death. Story 4: The cashier missed a great opportunity. Karen "I want a manager" Cashier "No problem...please step over there to speak to him." "NEXT!"
on story 2, upon being told I was written up for being at the hospital for my daughter, I've had quit on the spot and immediately gotten a lawyer, so damn many are ready and willing for an open and shut case like that
Second story reminds me of similar experience. I was in night class when my best friend of 27 years called to tell me her mother had passed. I was speechless. I hadn’t known her mother was in that bad of condition. My friend was devastated and I was heartbroken for her loss. Her mom was always a second mom to me over the years. So I called in to work, explained the situation and that I was going to spend the next day with my friend, seeing she only had three family members nearby. I helped her out by comforting and doing what I could, as her mind was in shambles. Next day, on return to work, my manager tore into to me for calling off for just a “friends mothers death.” And I was given the same treatment when I had an uncle die. That manager was a narcissist. She cared for no one but herself. And corporate always sided with her.
In the story with the entitled boss who went to a week of sensitivity training for her cruelty, where did it say that the week she was not allowed to work that she was paid. It just said she was not allowed to work. It didn't say anything about her being paid. I would hope that as a punishment she had to attend the training and be suspended without pay during that time.
Story 1: OP’s friend doesn’t seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. First she tries to blackmail OP and, when that doesn’t work, she asks to move into OP’s new house, expecting the answer to be yes. This gal needs to lay off the smoking😒 Story 2: OMG, for a doctor to get involved in a situation like this means that ASM wasn’t the only one who was incensed by this awful woman’s attitude🙁 Story 3: Nurses rock! Don’t mess with a nurse. They don’t play. They have the ability to kick your a$$ and patch you up afterwards!😠 Story 4: Why do people not believe you when you say, “I don’t work here!”😡 Story 5: The police should have been called to haul that Karen to jail!😠 Story 6: In most places, if you’re over 21 years old, then you’re an adult!😒
I would charge that entitled mom for the drink when she and her entiled child come back to Starbucks, cause everyone knows that they will return and act like nothing happened
Story 3 The doctor should have said "if your daughter was having a heart attack and I was bring stopped by another patient acting like you, would you simply accept your daughter bring a corpse?"
Story 2 - That Doctor is a Hero. Not just saving OP’s daughter but for putting that bitch boss in her place. And you’re right, that… woman should’ve been fired not reprimanded. I would’ve packed my stuff, turned in my badge/name tag whatever and walked out but not before giving her the bird.
Story 3 - 12:28 - Criminally, I don't thinks so. It would be difficult to convince a full jury that she was responsible since he was already having a heart attack on arrival. Civilly though.... she'd absolutely lose a wrongful death suit.
21:56 That "until you have kids, you would have to sit at the kid's table", 😡😡😡 I would yell at someone saying that with me around to "Shut Up, and take that advice herself!!", if I was invited, along with my older brother and his wife. Upwards from 35. 22:42 In retrospect, you did not ruin your "Family's Gathering". Your Family ruined your experience with their portrayal of a "Family Gathering".
Story 2: That's a power-tripping boss. Story 3: Karen should be charged with attempted murder. I don't care what anyone says; the fact she tried to block a doctor while a person's life is on the line should count as attempted murder/murder.
So, i had a similar situation with a manager as story 2, when my SO passed away from septic shock. I woke up to him unconcious and had to call ambulance, go to the hospital, all that jazz, and find out he was septic and they were testing to see if he was brain dead. This is a long story, short, sorry wont be going into the details. Anyways, i was off that day but scheduled to work the next day. Oh, and i was also an opening asm. By the end of the day, on valentines day, i called my boss and called out. Now, by that point, i didnt know he was going to be pulled off life support in a few days and that he was brain dead. I was still waiting on results. So yea, i called out, explained the situation, no big deal, take the day. Next day, still no results, taking another day off. No big deal. Then the next day, results came in, and from what im sure you can gather from a few sentences ago...no brain waves. Family had to be called to come say goodbyes, i was a mess that night. I called my boss. Told her i had to take leave. She not only told me no, but also suggested i was lying. Yea...cause id lie about something like that. I should note, i ONLY know she thought i was lying because a coworker told me later that night. I called her boss. I explained the situation. I had a good relationship with her boss, as i had more time with the company. She knew me. She knew this wasnt a joke. Or a way to get out of work. She told me take as much time as i needed and shed handle my boss. Yall, my boss went to the hospital to see if i was lying. She told me she went to pray for him, but my little buddy co worker told me the truth, that she went there to see if i was lying. Like wtf!? There are actually more stories about this manager, but that one...that one gets me angry eveey time i remember it. Another incident was when my father passed away, while i was with a different company. My manager was extremely understanding, and told me to take my time. I could only go a week before going crazy just sitting around grieving. So went back on light work. This time, it was the bigger boss. But not nearly as bad, actually makes me chuckle. So again, i was trusted by the district manager, my bosses boss. He held me in high enough regard to ask my opinion on new workers. The day i went back, he decided to visit the store, where a manager for another store was being trained...while i was out. He stopped me to ask my opinion on said new manager. Told him, really sorry, but i cant say as i had to take a week off. "What? Why the heck were you out for a whole week?" And not concerned, mind you. More like, how dare you. My response " because my dad passed away from cancer." Yall...his face was worth it. He knew what he did, and it was clear he felt really bad...and stupid...and yes...apologized profusely. Even checked in later. Im assuming he had a bad day that day prior to talking to me lol. I can forgive him. The other one...Candy...if you read this...go to heII you stupid stuck up dog! Oh...and thats a nice way of putting how i feel still 12 yrs later thanks to youtube restrictions.
Story 5: I do get desperately wanting to avoid confrontation, but she definitely should ahve sued that karen for theft. And/or said "You want SPRINKLES kid? Here's some SPRINKLES" and dumped them over her bratty head. Story 6: OP shouldn't feel sorry. I don't think "nice" and "family gathering" are compatible words in this situation, so there was nothing to ruin.
Story 5: ♪ Entitled kid, the little brute Has just gone down the garbage chute And she will meet as she descends A rather different set of friends A rather different set of friends A rather different set of friends A fish head, for example, cut This morning from a halibut An oyster from an oyster stew A steak that no one else would chew And lots of other things as well Each with its rather horrid smell Horrid smell These are EK's new-found friends That she will meet as she descends These are EK's new-found friends Who went and spoiled her, who indeed? Who pandered to her every need? Who turned her into such a brat? Who are the culprits, who did that? The guilty ones, now this is sad Dear old mum, and loving dad ♪
My thoughts on story 2? I would have gotten loud during that confrontation and really given her something to be embarrassed about. "Well, I'm so sorry you were so TERRIBLY INCONVENIENCED by my DAUGHTER DYING in the hospital, I will try to be better about ABANDONING MY FAMILY to SERVE YOU UNQUESTIONINGLY."
The bosses like the one in the second story make me sick.,and make me glad I no longer work for the one I had. I called her from the hospital telling her I had to go in for emergency surgery for appendices got mad at me because she was the only one to take my shift. then called my cell which I had with me and asked when I'm going back to work
In the doctor's place I would've put Karen in the ER by knocking her out cold... refusing him to leave for a heartattack? She realy didn't care for anyone else...
I listened to the entitled kid story about he starbucks drink. I smiled the whole time. Know why? Because, that entitled kid is going to grow into an entitled adult, who is going to cause her entitled mother no end of entitled grief.
Story 3: If the grandfather died, karen would have probably be charged with manslaughter, sued and maybe even lose her daughter.
No charge for manslaughter, as the grandfather lived. However, the Karen may be banned from the practice.
@@sbatou87 I forgot something
@@sbatou87its if
She would be charged with third degree murder, she knew the guy would die if she stopped op, and clearly intended to
@@f687sNFM Missed the "if". Sorry.
Story 2: Fun Fact, the Family Medical Leave Act makes it illegal to deny leave for employees due to a critical illness for spouse or child or to take punitive action against someone for using that leave. So, what that boss did was illegal and op could have sued or just reported the business to the department of labor and forced the business to pay major fines. Had either of those two things happened, the boss would have been fired and blamed for the incident, and any lawsuit would have been transfered to her personally. $100,000+ lawsuit for a major business: unpleasant. $100,000+ lawsuit for an individual making the horrible wages retail managers make: bankruptcy, loss of anything valuable like house or car, and never working in the industry again. Source: business degree and 6+ years in retail management.
Yup. The boss got off easy.
@@robertc.9503 - Definitely. Fluff seemed to assume the sensitivity course was paid. Might not have been. It said she couldn't work that week, that's all. Even if it was unpaid leave or effectively suspension, at least she still had a job. That could have gone much worse for her. She even admitted she was a mother herself. The lack of empathy is what I find the most disturbing. Had she taken a moment to consider what she would do if it was her kid, she might have changed her tune, which was what the doctor was trying to encourage by asking that.
The story was not about OP. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@gorilladisco9108 - True, the OP was relaying someone else's story, but the point still stands. What the Karen boss did was illegal. If you swap OP with their co-worker, it still applies. Oversight on part of the commenter I'm sure. Sometimes I forget with these secondhand stories too.
Interesting, and here i thought we are the only ones pulling that over here. US? Never occured to me that they would. See? That Socialism btw. translates to FOR THE PEOPLE. Otherwise you wouldnt have this thing in your law's.
The Karen in Story 2 knew exactly what life support meant, just as the Karen in Story 3 knew exactly what a heart attack meant. Neither of them cared. They're not ignorant, just pure evil.
People like her honestly think: you should have thought of that before you became poor. So along that line, you should have thought about that before you became a low level employee, you don't have rights, you can't be there for dying daughter. And the same ahole manager will whine when they can't find employees willing to work under those terms that people just don't want to work anymore. For you, ahole, people don't want to work for you.
Karma will find them
@@aileenking927oh most certainly......and it shall be epic!
Karma works in mysterious ways, the EB was the one in trouble, not the ASM.
Sounds like depraved indifference to me.
Last story reminds me of my family. They made my husband and I sit at the kids table at Christmas and let my neices sit at the adult table. Because they had kids and we didn't. Single teenaged parents vs 2 married adults with fertility issues who didn't have a kid for 11 years. OP was so NTA, we stopped going to Christmas dinner after that and my family just couldn't understand why.
Actually was wondering what they would do with teenage parents..... by their definition a teenage parent = adult in the story. Also sorry to hear that happened to you x.x
Yeah that's exactly what I would do. And maybe twist the knife with a "I don't know why you want two more kids there. We're too young to bring food and we're too young to babysit." Just lean all the way into it.
I got put at the kids' table when I was in my 20s and I *had* a kid. Because they wanted me to babysit, since my siblings had multiple kids (and I was the eldest sibling, even). So I started a food fight. My parents thought it was hilarious. My siblings, not so much, but they learned a valuable lesson, and that lesson was that I am a terrible influence on children who are not my own. 😄
@@recycledapathy7411 Yeah, I'm the Uncle that always bought the toys that made the noise to send home with the little cousins, nieces, and nephews. As for the kids table, I'm Autistic so I usually went into the living room and ate on a tray in the recliner so I didn't have to interact with a bunch of people at a time.
A person who drives and brings food is considered a child? No quiche for you!
@@recycledapathy7411 I taught my nieces how swear in three different languages and the art of the “pull my finger” game. They still talk about it 20 years later and laugh. Not mom she was kinda pissed. They love their uncle 😁
that last story, I was put at the kids table when I was twenty five once...the rest of the kids were in middle school at best...family started asking why I'd rather spend my holidays alone after that and I never went back until I was over 30.
Good on you for removing yourself from the situation. I would've loved to see OP gut check the family by saying "so no matter how many years I put in at my work, and no matter how much life experience I gain, you're saying that I will always be a child because I am medically incapable of having children?" And just watch the family stumble
Story #3’s Karen situation reminds me of a time when I was one of the firefighters responding to a multi-vehicle accident on the interstate, complete with triage due to multiple patients. One of the “walking wounded” was getting a tad…”annoyed,” to be polite, that they hadn’t been attended to beyond initial triaging due to our taking care of more severely injured patients. This patient yelled at one of my colleagues, “How loud do I have to scream to get your attention?” My colleague, bless him, shot back, “It’s the ones who _can’t_ scream that go first, and if you don’t understand that I’ll be happy to have one of the police officers arrest you for interfering with us!” That shut the patient up in a BIG hurry!
Story 6. When the aunt said OP was a child because he didn't have children, OP should have something along the lines of, "no children that I know of," or, "I'm still waiting for the results of the DNA test." OP should have also mentioned sperm banks: let's see the "adults" at the table freak out.
The second story made me remember something that happened when I was 5 years old. I had a very awful accident with a glass bottle, I was running with the bottle in hand and I fell badly and got my wrist cut open with the broken shards…it was awful. Anyway, when my grandma called my father to his job. His boss decided to do 2 amazing things for him, ask a fast driver coworker to take the company car and take my father and me to the hospital, and give my dad a blank check to cover any hospital bill… In the end, everything was fine (nothing life-threatening) and my father gave the check back to his boss. That is what I call an amazing boss.
That boss was a BOSS! Get someone else to drive an emotional father to the hospital with their hurt kid AND see to it that there’s no financial hardship on his employee. That’s a boss that cares about his people.
*That* is leadership.
WOW! WHAT A BOSS!!
This reminds me of Dad's Shift Boss when I had my Kidney Transplant. Dad was a Miner & it was Christmas time, major complications & there were hundreds of miles between us. Then Dad found out he had to go in Christmas Eve & there was no way he could come down to me & Mom. As he'd literally have only a few hrs before having to come back. So it was rough, but we'd have to spend Christmas apart.
So Dad goes into work Christmas Eve Morning & is in the Locker Room when the Shift Boss came up to him. The following happened…
SB : Hey Red (Dad's Nickname), what are you doing here?
Confused Dad : I’m working today. Where am I supposed to be?
SB : You’re should be packing a bag to London. (Ontario)
He then clapped on the shoulder & leaned in…
Look, we don't need you. Your Family does. I'll fix it to look like you were here. Now get the Hell out of here & Merry Christmas.
Dad always said that's the fastest he left the Mine. Mom didn't tell me he was coming, so when he walked in my Hospital Room…
Yeah. 😊
Thankfully the Team got things turned around & I was able to keep the Kidney & so far, so good. Anyway…Thought I'd share. Take Care!! 😊
I had a supervisor who hated video games and when he found out I scheduled my vacation time to coincide with release dates, he had me fired. Jokes on him, the job i got afterward pays me double what I made, and my entire team are gamers.
wow... I'm glad you have a better job now, that guy sucks. Who cares what you do on your scheduled vacation?
Should of filed a lawsuit
Where I live, you could have sued his ass off for that. Better yet, unions here are mandatory, and they would have gladly helped you in the process, both financially and pointing you in the direction of a good lawyer.
I never had a problem like that since the bosses I had are gamers as well. The first time our new manager at the place I work at currently saw I had a switch he asked me about it. He's a chill guy (Sometimes but that's another story)
That's wrongfull termination. A BIG nono!
Last story: Based on the Aunt's attitude, the "adult" conversation at the adult table would not have been worth OP's time to listen and contribute. Quite frankly, OP's departure would be more of an educational topic for their family to discuss than anything else they might have planned...not that I expect them to learn much from it.
That barista needs a gold star and a raise. What a mega sweeite engaging the children so openly
But did the EM & EK get their drinks?
@@lorifiedler13 EK was acting like Veruca Salt.
I mean, the part of being entitled for letting EKid put some sprinkle, it's midly infuriating. There is no arm... if he use tools to put the sprinkle. But, the kid taking a sip, EM should have transform in an instant punishing machine. Than EM throwing the cofee & not paying : what an AH! Meaning she understand that her kid did something somewhat wrong and now just bail out to avoid responsability. Mom of the year! Is there Karen awards like there is Darwin awards? She could run for 'Karen mom'
Story 2: Amazing how bad managers and bosses expect employees to drop everything in their lives including things they have no control over to work for their bosses paycheck yet when they have things to do outside of work they expect all the privileges without being call out on it. At least HR has the sense to knock the manager down a bit and make realize that unacceptable behavior.
Screw all that. With the evidence they had, she should have been fired
Sure, but sensitivity training? Screw that! Fire her and sue her for causing OP emotional distress!
She should've been fired, she put the company at risk for a major lawsuit. In all honesty the doctor saved them.
We call those oxygen thieves "protected species"
HR knew the manager was in violation of FMLA and were running damage control to avoid a lawsuit... which OP could have definitely called the labor board over as well as sue for lost wages or wrongful termination.
Yeah I was expecting the mother to quit after her boss threatened her with a write-up. As well as taking her to court for that emotional distress that she threatened her with losing her job because of her daughter's life on the line. I'm surprised HR didn't fire her because she's a liability for this kind of stuff.
I would have stayed after being threatened with a write up, if only to make sure the boss ended up getting fired for pulling that crap. Then maybe quit afterward, or sue, depending on the outcome.
Story 3: I'm not an expert on these things, but could Karen have been arrested for impeding OP from saving that man's life? He was actively dying of a heart attack, the daughter was not.
Like, Karen could have been arrested, and she probably would still call OP the monster for "Not taking care of my daughter"
While in Airborne school a fellow soldier fell out at the end of a 20 mile run, his head bouncing off the curb. Being a freshly created medic with 2 years of premed under my belt, I stopped to assist and a captain screamed at me to get back in formation. So I screamed back “I’m a medic, I’ll finish the run after the ambulance gets here!”. I thought for sure I was f@$ked. Nope, not a word about it.
I believe that's voluntary manslaughter. Same if you're driving & don't make way for emergency vehicles.
Interfering with medical personnel, trying to save a life, is widely considered to be "unlawful violence" and if they die it's manslaughter. I have heard of people getting attempted murder charges for blocking doctors/nurses/paramedics from helping someone in medical peril and causing death.
@@Damaged262 I tip my hat to you, good sir or madam. That was the right call, and if the captain doesn't like it, he could go pound sandpaper!
In Texas that Karen would have been liable for that man's death.
Last Story - OP is NTA. No doubt that the ‘adults’ wanted to use her as a free babysitter. OP did the right thing by taking her food that she brought and leaving. I probably would’ve done worse than that.
There's no amount of sensitivity training that could possibly fix the hot mess that is story 2. That manager quite clearly lacked even the most basic level of human empathy, all the more shocking from someone who purports to also be a mother.
Had I'd been her boss I'd ask her to give me one good reason not to fire her on the sport.
Story 6: Bro, the disrespect from the aunt. Like, OP is an adult, not a parent, the aunt is thinking "Parents Table," not "Adults Table."
And the fact that the other adults is backing her up, yeah they don't deserve any food from OP for that, they better apologize
That's almost the point where you go completely NC with the family. If they want to treat you as a kid, they sure as hell don't respect you and they never will.
@@AurizenDarkstar 👏👏💯💯
I would've had a few choice words for the aunt and none of them would have been kid friendly. I hate people like that
@@angel196989AGREED! And I would turn and leave, letting them all know I won't attend anything where Awnty is attending. 🤨 Total NC with her, and any flying monkeys supporting her.
I agree with you in fact, I would’ve just blocked them all and made a big hole. That’s a complete lack of respect and frankly, I have no time for people like that even my own family and yes, there are members of my own family. I am NC with and at this point I don’t care
*Story 6-* My hubby and I are both the oldest of 4, but we can’t have kids because of medical reasons. And at the same time, we’re the most stable out of all 8 of our siblings. Most of our siblings either rent/live with our parents or borrow a lot of money.
I’ll admit, my hubby and I act like we’re 13, but that doesn’t mean we’re not adults! (My dad _actually_ told my hubby and I *not* to grow up, and people say to listen to your parents right? 😉 lol)
Story 2: I can confidently say that if I was within striking distance of that boss, HR would have to put up job postings for two positions after I was arrested. That woman was vile
Well then you’d be without your daughter too, or at least add to take anger management classes before you saw her if the judge was Catholic School nun strict. I however would put you on probation with anger management if the law allowed that, otherwise I would give you the bare minimum punishment the law allows.
If OP was my Mom, she would've sent that boss straight down to Hell!
How wasn’t Karen fired?
My response the karen in story 4 when she asked “do you know how long I’ve been waiting here for?” Would have been “I don’t give a flying fuck”
Story 2: Sensitivity class my @ss. She should have been fired on the spot. Karens have no sensitiviy what-so-ever, so all the classes in the world will not stop her from being a Karen.
OP, I am so very happy that your daughter pulled through, and I hope that the hospital was able to pinpoint the allergen. If any of the food she ate was fried, I suggest checking for peanut allergy.
Story 6: my response to hearing at 22 years of age that I have to sit at the Kids Table until I'm a parent: "Really, Aunt? So what you're telling me is that If your daughter got pregnant at 14 and we found out That I/my wife is infertile then we would have a fourteen-year-old at the grown-ups table and a twenty-six-year-old at the kids table?" And the only thing I would have to apologize to Aunt about in that situation that is the fact that I said that whole thing loud enough for her ten-year-old daughter at the Kids Table to hear as well as everybody else at the whole picnic
A child is on life support because of something they ate, and the manager insisted the assistant manager must keep to the employee schedule? Say what? Really? The assistant manager daughter could die, and all that manager can say is keep to the schedule? Is that manager stuck in cement that she couldn't open the store? That person should not be in management anywhere. Part of a main manager's job is to cover for those who've had emergencies and won't be going to work. If that manager won't do her job properly, then she needs busted back to a regular employee and make a competent person the store manager.
That woman in the ER didn't listen when that doctor said the daughter would be okay, even though she was experiencing a side-effect of the medication. Blocking that doctor from leaving the room to attend a heart attack victim was beyond gross conduct. Had that doctor bodily moved her, she would have accused him of assault. But that's what he should have done if one of those nurses hadn't moved that woman out of the way. To bad that woman can't be banned from the ER, making it necessary for another family member to bring the daughter to the ER.
If that Starbucks has security cameras, they should review the video until they find the point where Karen's face can be clearly seen. Then print it out, hang it up, and let everyone who works there know that she is not to be served. That she is to be told to leave the next time she comes in. And print out the entire story why she isn't to be served.
Why do Karen's shut down their ability to comprehend sentences when they're told, "I don't work here?" It's an easy sentence to say and easy to understand. That individual is not employed that business; isn't receiving a paycheck from that business; isn't on that business's work schedule. That person has no authority to do anything but be a customer. How hard is that to understand. If that Karen in Micky D was tired of waiting, please, go somewhere else.
Story 6. Had a friend who’s family had a similar policy about adults at the adult table and kids at the kids table even though they were all over 21. I cheered him up calling it the has been table and told him he should create some drama around their stupid standards. He took my advice further than I thought, got his cousins and siblings in on it and when that moment came they asked if they could sit at the has been table after they’ve been divorced 3 times put on 100 extra pounds worked a dead end job for 30 years and ran off in the middle of the night to drink away our troubles, among other things they all said to the adults. I’m told the so called adults were very pissed and yelled at the so called kids, one of whom responded by saying that’s what her parents and said about them in private. My friend was happy the dinner was very short and had lots of leftovers.

A friend of mine told me about a time she was at work and between a perfect combination Diabetes, high blood pressure, stress combined into one hell of a bloody nose. She went into the bathroom and spent the next forty or so minutes trying to stop it. If anyone knows what happens with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and blood loss; there's a bit of "which way did he go, George" and little birds flying around the head. No sooner did she get back to her desk to recover; the HR director came to her and spent an hour chewing her out for bleeding. The HR lady went so far as to give her several plastic bags "In case it happens again." I'm happy to say she got healthier, but she made sure everyone knew the "official HR policy" about first-aid. "GOOD GOD, DON'T BLEED ON THE FURNATURE!!!"
14:49 Finally! Op said exactly what I was thinking during every r/IDontWorkHereLady post I've ever read!
Last story: Simple solution. Just tell all those family members they are dead to you, until they apologize and get aunt to apologize. Don't respond to them until a year is up. Then when one of them contacts you, tell them they know your terms. Is everybody ready to apologize? If not, then tell them to try again next year. They need to understand that something that seems trivial to them, is important to you. And your feelings are the only ones that matter here.
My middle daughter had only been at her new job for 2 months when my youngest, then 27, had a major medical crisis and ended up in a coma on life support. Middle daughter’s boss told her to work when she can and fellow employees covered an entire shift or half of one for an entire month. Middle daughter still works for the company 10 years later.
Last story, what about people who physically can't have children due to medical reasons or choose not to? Does that they can never be an "adult"? So ridiculous
I had a boss who decided to hold onto a complaint letter about me for 4 months and waited until the day I told her I had breast cancer. She did garbage like that to 4 other staff members and probably thought we had no idea. I still have a copy of that email along with a large folder of other hostile emails. Friends, print copies and send to your private emails or take screen shots. Emails can get wiped easily.
I would just take my drink if I had one and spill it on my aunt saying that I'm a child so I guess I can do that then. And then leave.
Kids table story: If I heard that from my parents and the grandparents, I'd be walking out, too. Like, they're your kids, not mine, do your job and raise them. If you wanted to have adult time, you should've hired a baby sitter.
I hear the profession of babysitting is a dead one.
Story 3 - I’m absolutely appalled and disgusted by that Karen’s behavior.
I’m so glad that the Grandfather survived but if he had died that Karen should’ve been held accountable for manslaughter.
more like Murder 2 or Murder 3 with Special Circumstances
@@JohnH20111 Yeah you’re right
@@JohnH20111Involuntary manslaughter, actually.
It's the absolute definition of depraved indifference.
Ok Story 2 just triggered my PTSD..Luckily My employer was the absolute opposite. 3 of my coworkers (including 2 Supervisors) left their homes at 2am to drive an hour to the hospital to stand with me.
The aunt needs to sit at the kids table.
Gold star for Dr. D and how he handled EB! I'm glad he did write his own letter to ASM's HR department.
I'm sure that was also a great big strike on her record with the HR department. I wouldn't be surprised, if at the time of the recording of this video, she had been fired
Last story, with family members like those, i would've hung out at the kids table because they would be more fun.
Story 4 the barrista should report the entitled mother to their manager and more than likely the next time the karen shows up they will be charged for the drink and banned from the location.
That's actually story 5
Story 6: That sounds like some relatives of mine. I was home visiting and went to a family gathering. I was immediately told I needed to sit at the children's table since I was still a child (I was 20). When I refused and said I was an adult the relative in question commented "Compared to me, why do you deserve to be called an adult?" to which I responded "You sit on your fat ass all day drinking wine and watching TV, I on the other hand, am in on leave after returning from a military deployment."
I can't stand people like the aunt in that story.
Story #6 she is NOT the a-hole. I would have handled it differently, but no question that aunt was absurdly rude and who gives a damn about "balanced" tables ? Me, I would have been kind to those child and REFUSED to EVER attend another family function EVER until I get a full apology. And the apology better be in front of the rest of the family since the insult was in front of the family.
Last story they just want a free babysitter.
Story 2. That doctor deserves a raise, doubled Christmas bonus and an all expense paid vacation for handling that Karen like an MVP! 😎😎😎
Last Story. So let me see if I understand OP's aunt's logic: he has a job, pays rent, is legally able to drink alcohol and can drive a car...but because he doesn't have any children of his own, that makes him still a child...?
My mind...it has been thoroughly f*cked! 😵😵😵
Story 6: Don't even give them 'en loco parentis' rights (if that's possible or even the right wording) for when you're rushed to the hospital and can't make decisions for yourself. If they don't respect you now, how are they going to respect you when you're on death's door?
Power of Attorney. Or in this case Medical Power of Attorney.
@@meh2510 Thank you so much!
Story one.... That uncaring boss definitely needed firing, or at very least reduced to an entry-level position. The Doctor was a BOSS! 👍
Story two.... Rabid Karen needs to face a life-threatening illness herself, and be under care of Nurse Ratched. 😂
Story one was the would be blackmailer
Story 3 .... UGH!!! That was so frustrating. They really need a unbending rule to just say to the patience that they need to attend to a much more critical emergency patients and just leave in any way possible, like body check that Fluff mention. It's a matter of importance and not who came up first.
Story 5 ... More frustrated grunts, with added table bumping.
I would shove her out of the way for sure if I was in the doctor's situation. I don't think that doctors are allowed to do things like shove people (I could be wrong, I'm not a doctor) but that was a life or death situation.
Regarding sitting at the kitty table, all of the kids of my generation, which was the third, were supposed to sit at the kiddy table, but a cousin of mine, who was a year younger than me, got to sit at the adult table while I still got stuck at the kiddy table… why cuz I’m the black sheep of the family. To make matters even better the tables were in two separate rooms. There are many reasons why I went NC with that side of the family… that’s just one.
Story 2: I did not know sensetivity classes were a thing, but now I really hope more Karens end up being ordered to take these classes.
Edit: Story 6: OP is NTA. The rest of the family are complete idiots, but that aunt takes the cake. Ironically, she's actually the one with the 6-year-old mentality
At an old job, they would send us to one yearly.
I had two former co-workers of mine who had to take the classes or get fired, and I remember when all the Starbucks were closed down so all the employees could receive the training after a couple problems with racist baristas having black customers arrested and putting racist slurs on the cops instead of the customers names
Sensitivity classes don't really work though. Most people don't change their opinions or actions until something affects them personally. This is why I believe EVERYONE should work retail for at least a year.
@@empressmarowynn Same, except retail or food service 😬
Sending a Karen to a Sensitivity Training class is a hellish punishment...for the teacher. Come on boss, what did the instructor do to deserve that. Unless the class involves getting cracked on the back with a whip for every wrong response they make, the Karen ain't gonna learn a thing.
Story 2 - I had something like this happen to me. Not as severe as a family member being in the hospital.
I worked at Costco as a sampler when I was 18. After 2 months of working there I asked my boss for Saturday off because I was having family over to visit, my boss said ‘no problem’ and that was that. When Saturday came I get a call at 10 AM from my boss demanding to know why I wasn’t at work. I told her that she said that it was okay for me to take the day off, she denied it and demanded that I come ASAP. I go in and she got mad at me and wrote me up for being late. I fought it and luckily another coworker backed me up cause she was there when I asked. later she got reprimanded and my write up was torn apart. After that she hated me but I ended up quitting later to go to trade school.
Story 5: She's literally going to raise another thief acting like that in front of her kid.
3rd story: I would've tried to get Karen blacklisted from the hospital. Just that hospital, there are plenty of other places to go to, even if they take longer to get to/not as good as OP's hospital. If Karen was allowed to pull this stunt again, she might succeed in killing someone else, just because her kid had insomnia or something.
About the last story I wonder what the idiotic aunt and the part of the family, who approved of her idiotic opinion, would say to my daughter (38 years old) and my son (51 years old) which are without kids by choice. Pathetic people!
I was lucky growing up. I am tall, and always looked and acted older than I was. As a High School freshman I was mistaken for an assistant teacher a time or two. I even graded some seniors' papers once in study hall. 😂
My family was great. At sixteen, I was promoted to the Adults Table during holiday get-togethers. Teed off my little sister. 😊
As an adult (I'm 66 now) all my close friends tended to be several years older than me.
@@lancerevell5979I never sat at the kids' table (to my knowledge) as I have always been more mature than people my own age. Even now, my friends are younger and older than me. My two closest friends are in their mid-20s while I am in my early 40s. When I was in school, I tended to get along with the teachers much more so than with my classmates.
@@protoborg I stay in contact with one of my middle school teachers and one of my best friends is ten years younger than me, so I totally get it
Last story: I probably would have spiteful and talked about a bunch of things the parents wouldn't want their kids to hear. Let's talk about the birds and the bees, kids. 😂
hey kids repeat after me “filha de puta”. Very good!
Or tell the kids the “family stories” about scandalous family secrets: this uncle was in prison for embezzling; these aunts are alcoholics; grandpa was an ax murderer who died in a hospital for the criminally insane; that cousin is a secret drinker and shoplifts; that kind of thing. The kids will then ask their parents about all the embarrassing, juicy stories! 😆 😈. Am I evil? 😇
@@susangrande8142 yes. you are. but in a way i find absolutely HILARIOUS and 100% endorse!! lol.
@@VisserOne why, thank you! 😄
Story 2: That's a violation of FMLA I'm not a lawyer but a loved one in critical condition should be covered by FMLA
That karen opened the store for a lawsuit from the ASM if a good boss saw that stunt performed by a manager I'm pretty sure those are valid grounds for termination
The first story: I knew someone like Jane. Let's call her Kelly. She had two kids, one from each marriage seven years apart. Her daughter was her eldest. Kelly never kept a job, lived off of her much beleaguered second husband and spent his hard-earned money quicker than he could earn it. She always had her hair done, her nails done, a full pack of cigarettes and booze in the fridge. Bills and living expenses were always an afterthought, presuming they even entered her mind in the first place. Kelly was so entitled, she literally believed that she should be paid just for existing and the world owed her just because she was here. Despite having a four-year degree and being qualified for numerous jobs, Kelly was always perpetually unemployed or on extended “sabbaticals.” She just so eternally last that she didn't want to work. Her financial irresponsibility led to her kids often going without the bare necessities i.e. clothes that fit, shoes that weren't too small, food to eat an living in a home that didn't have working central air which looked like it belonged on Hoarders. Shut down by everyone else she knew, Kellydidn't even ask, but demanded, that I part with my hard-earned money, my nest egg, to save her and her brood from potentially ending up homeless. She often resorted to the despicable practice of using her then-minor children to get handouts from people then would turn into a ghost when it was time to pay back what she owed. In the time that I knew her, she was evicted from two homes and lost two others to foreclosure. Also, during that time period, she had two vehicles repossessed to due to not keeping up with the payments and as a result of her record unemployment another stopped working completely because she never had the money to maintain it. It should come as no surprise whatsoever, she tried to bum rides off of anyone she could, including me. When I told her no, she would throw tantrums that would've embarrassed a toddler. To equate her horrible personality with her equally horrible credit rating, would be a fair comparison. Because I am adamantly child-free by choice and single, she went off on me for not helping “a mother in need.” I remember she said verbatim: “If you have all that money to go and do things, then you can just give it to me.” I couldn't even believe that she was so brazenly entitled or that she didn't even try to hide her true selfish nature. I told her, in no uncertain terms, that it was neither my responsibility to pay her bills for her nor it wasn't my fault that she had two kids she never wanted or that she hooked up with some rando off the internet and got pregnant by him because she wasn't on birth control. She was aghast that I called her out and then told me she was going to go rat on me to her husband. I told her to go and do it. I told her, he had my number and he was more than welcome to call me up and I would explain everything, factually with no embellishment, including how she spent her afternoons while he was at work. My thinly-veiled threat of exposing her extramarital affairs--I admit it was just a shot in the dark and I had no idea that I had unknowingly struck gold--rendered her dead silent. It should come as no surprise whatsoever, that the phone call never came and she probably just ranted to him about what I butthole I am until he told her to shut the frick up. I did hear through the grapevine, that her kids eventually grew up as children do, cut contact with her and she has also been barred from seeing her grandchildren. I also heard that her and her hubby (her youngest’s father) are, despite all odds, still married. I say a rosary for him every night. He needs all the help he can get.
Why would she come to you for handouts? Why not just go to her ex-husband?
@@Kelle0284 Her ex-husband knew what she was like and only sent what was necessary for child support. It should come as no surprise whatsoever, she spent the bulk of her child support money on herself. Illegal, if you didn't know. I also wasn't the only person she had duped into believing that she just “needed a little help.” She was a con woman. She used a lot of people in the time that I knew her. I was one of them. Once I wised up, I closed my wallet and kept my distance. Suddenly, I was an enemy because I wouldn't keep helping her or make her priority number one. That's how narcissists are. If you're not on their side or helping them achieve their agenda or against what they are against, you are the enemy. It didn't take long for people to realize that she was the common denominator and everyone else around her couldn't all be the bad guy. It's a telltale sign that someone is the root cause of all of their problems when they're surrounded by a bunch of wrongdoers and they're always playing the victim. I just wish I had that clarity back then and knew to avoid her.
Last Story: Wow OP's aunt has clearly lost her marbles the said adult table should be for people 18+
Story 2: the Karen is definitely a Ahole you don’t know if the AMs daughters would have been dead and her writing up AM for calling out because of a love one in the hospital is so messed up she shouldn’t just have a sensitivity class she should be fired
I'd have been fired. I would have told that manager Karen exactly where to go and what do when she got there. NOBODY and NOTHING takes precedence over a dying or critically ill child! 🤨
@@lancerevell5979 If you did get fired, you could sue. They can't fire you for that.
Story 3:That insensitive mother has got one too many screws loose and as for almost killing somebody's grandfather that i believe is 3rd-degree manslaughter
I am applauding how the doctor handled that Karen.
This is fantastic news Silver. I'm absolutely delighted and over the moon for you and your impending departure from the hospital.
Not only have you survived a serious illness, but you thrived. Doing lives, chatting without impairment, and having a wee laugh all whilst keeping strong and healing. You really are an amazing person.
I'm so glad you are headed home soon, be it ever so humble...
Congratulations in the massive WIN Silver.
And im really happy for your daughters. ❤
How story 2 would happen if it was me = Karen : Hey, i know your kid is on the verge of death and you don't want to leave his/her side. But you HAVE to open the store! My answer = Then the store will stay closed today. *click* And put it on mute. Also report her to HR. Also to have her fired or relocated because i would NOT want to work in such a toxic workplace!!!! And if she did it again, i would sue for every penny i can get from that c0w! EDIT : Story 3 : In my country, that doctor/nurse could have legally pushed Karen to the side and call the cops on her because she's (prettyy much) causing someone to lose his/her life emergency. And if Karen would go to court if accidently injured. All she would get is a : Too bad, so sad story from the judge and also be fined on top for wasting such recources and stuff.
OP just needed to push her out of the way, I mentioned to the old man's family about her so they can maybe possibly press charges against her. Also The other nurse that came to find OP should've been grabbing a security officer at the same time to make sure that if she was being detained like that the security officer could take care of her.
Story 2: I always wonder if the stories on the Dark Fluff channel are actually true, but even if these are recreations of events that actually happened somewhere, I am so grateful that where I work, NOTHING like this ever happens. I'm fortunate to have a supervisor who is THE most caring, nurturing person in the world, will have her team's back but can be the iron fist in the velvet glove if required, mainly if someone is being an a-hole to someone on our team or is just being one in general in our section and trying to pull a fast one by bypassing rules/regs.
He gets them from Reddit as well as submitted emails, so there may be fakes here and there; but he has done several videos where the OPs posted pictures or videos of the related story, so yes; he has confirmed true stories among his postings.
Story 3: Depending on WHERE it happened, it could been up to murder, as she knowingly stopped the means of saving somebodies life.
Should have told the Karen:
"Why don't YOU go behind the register and take MY order?"
By that aunt's "reasoning" I would be sitting at the kids table at 55 because I don't have kids.
If it was you, you probably should have done so, just to drive the point home that she's full of shit. I know I would have.
Years ago, I worked in a Hotel that went from the best in town to little more than a nursing home, in a very short time. ( this was the fault of the reservations manager, an embittered old woman who should have retired many years before, she was a confirmed man hater as well, her favorite truck was every time a reservation was made for a male guest, she would " lose" the reservation, so that when the guest arrived, there would be no reservation, she would then act like it was somehow the guest's fault, and he would be given a less then desirable room, but only after much hassle, ( she wouldn't pull this on any female guest however, they were always warmly welcomed, and given the best the house had to offer) every major company in town, and most of the minor ones, grew tired of her games, and switched their business to the other brand new Inn in town. Well after working there for over a year, with no time off, ( and being vastly underpaid) I decided to ask for some vacation time, ( in part to have time to look for a new job) So I approached her, to ask for some vacation, only to get a steely eyed glare, and a haughty " you don't GET a vacation here"! So I backed off, as I needed the job, and didn't want to raise her ire ( she was treated like the queen bed of the hive, and most employee's were scared to death of her) To my surprise, a few weeks later the hotels HR director came to me a few weeks later, vacation schedule in hand, and asked me when I wanted to take my vacation, since it was 1976, and the big bicentennial weekend was coming up so wanting to go visit some friends in the Texas Hill Country, and take part in the festivities there, I asked for and was granted the two weeks surrounding the 4th, so I made my airline reservation and plans accordingly, the day my vacation started, my dad drove me to the airport, and I caught my flight,but when dad got home, the phone was ringing off the wall, when dad answered it was the old bat demanding to know why I was not at work! Dad simply replied, " by now he's probably in the air above St Louis" and hung up! Upon my return, I was summoned to the office, where the old bat ( she was in her 80s) demanded to know who I thought I was taking a vacation, after she told me I wasn't entitled to! At this point, the HR director, overhearing the conversation, informed her that I was indeed entitled to the time off, and that he had granted it to me. That put her in her place, and she barely spoke to me for several months then one day she handed me a paycheck for 68.00 that was for two weeks of work when I asked why the amount was so small she just sneered, and said I was lucky that it was that much! I quit on the spot, walked out and filed charges of wage theft with the state board of wages, and standards, the investigation proved that I was not the only one so treated, and that was the end of her!
Story 2: I'd tell the manager's boss "No. She needs to be fired. She insisted I came in while my daughter was sick and wrote me up for the stupidest reason". Let me tell you if that happened at my work I'd leave asap and tell our HR that if they want me back get rid of the insensitive boss then maybe I'd consider coming back
The third story. I'm not a lawyer but yeah I feel a case can be made that cause Karen refused to let the doctor go to the emergency. That that lead to the guys death. Does not matter age of the person at all.
I’d go to the kid’s table and behave like a total kid. Be loud, rowdy, eat with my mouth open, encourage playing with food. Maybe even a food fight. When called out I’d say “you said I was considered a kid so I’m acting like it. If what you actually wanted was someone to supervise the kids you should have been honest because I didn’t sign up for that.”
Also I hate when older adults expect adult responsibilities (I.e. bringing food to the picnic) from young adults but don’t extend adult privileges to them (I.e. the adult table)
So many stories of Karen's that need an open handed "attitude adjustment".
The more of these I hear the more "I had to walk uphill both ways to school so you should have to as well" vibes I get.
I heard a quote, "The greatest trick CEOs have pulled is making lazy be the worst thing you can be"
Last story - if that was so true of life, then I’d have to sit on the kids table too ! I’m infertile from birth, so can’t have kids ! And I’m 54 ! 🤣😂🤪😂🤣
I have never been in that situation, but I do have sinus problems since I was 47. Bad apartment, good neighbors. Never had this so bad before!
Story 2: "You still have to come in" Cool, I quit, bye!
Last story... I'd have sat at the kids table and really, really wound them up into a real sh*t show, then just left. Bye bye, have fun calming them down!
*Third Story:* I must be critically cynical because that Karen's actions do not surprise me in the slightest. Also yes, she could be charged with manslaughter or even third-degree murder through medical interference if he died. At the very least she would easily lose a civil case brought by his estate against her.
Honestly she should be charged with attempted manslaughter since if she had her way, that man would've died and she knew that.
Story 3: Karen is VERY lucky that she was not brought up on charges of Attempted Negligent Homicide...she could have very well caused that person's death.
Story 4: The cashier missed a great opportunity. Karen "I want a manager" Cashier "No problem...please step over there to speak to him." "NEXT!"
So many terrible people and their terrible hellspawn. I just can't get over the sense of entitlement these people have.
I swear there are a lot of Veruca Salts being made and grown up.
😂😂
*Last story... NOT the A-hole!*
on story 2, upon being told I was written up for being at the hospital for my daughter, I've had quit on the spot and immediately gotten a lawyer, so damn many are ready and willing for an open and shut case like that
Second story reminds me of similar experience. I was in night class when my best friend of 27 years called to tell me her mother had passed. I was speechless. I hadn’t known her mother was in that bad of condition. My friend was devastated and I was heartbroken for her loss. Her mom was always a second mom to me over the years. So I called in to work, explained the situation and that I was going to spend the next day with my friend, seeing she only had three family members nearby. I helped her out by comforting and doing what I could, as her mind was in shambles. Next day, on return to work, my manager tore into to me for calling off for just a “friends mothers death.” And I was given the same treatment when I had an uncle die. That manager was a narcissist. She cared for no one but herself. And corporate always sided with her.
That's when you sue the company for a hostile work environment.

In the story with the entitled boss who went to a week of sensitivity training for her cruelty, where did it say that the week she was not allowed to work that she was paid. It just said she was not allowed to work. It didn't say anything about her being paid. I would hope that as a punishment she had to attend the training and be suspended without pay during that time.
Story 1: OP’s friend doesn’t seem to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. First she tries to blackmail OP and, when that doesn’t work, she asks to move into OP’s new house, expecting the answer to be yes. This gal needs to lay off the smoking😒
Story 2: OMG, for a doctor to get involved in a situation like this means that ASM wasn’t the only one who was incensed by this awful woman’s attitude🙁
Story 3: Nurses rock! Don’t mess with a nurse. They don’t play. They have the ability to kick your a$$ and patch you up afterwards!😠

Starbucks Karen should have had the cop called for shoplifting. She had her chance to pay, as soon as she walked out the door all bets are off.
Story 2 - That Doctor is a Hero. Not just saving OP’s daughter but for putting that bitch boss in her place. And you’re right, that… woman should’ve been fired not reprimanded.
I would’ve packed my stuff, turned in my badge/name tag whatever and walked out but not before giving her the bird.
Story 3 - 12:28 - Criminally, I don't thinks so. It would be difficult to convince a full jury that she was responsible since he was already having a heart attack on arrival. Civilly though.... she'd absolutely lose a wrongful death suit.
21:56 That "until you have kids, you would have to sit at the kid's table", 😡😡😡 I would yell at someone saying that with me around to "Shut Up, and take that advice herself!!", if I was invited, along with my older brother and his wife. Upwards from 35.
22:42 In retrospect, you did not ruin your "Family's Gathering". Your Family ruined your experience with their portrayal of a "Family Gathering".
Story 2: That's a power-tripping boss.
Story 3: Karen should be charged with attempted murder. I don't care what anyone says; the fact she tried to block a doctor while a person's life is on the line should count as attempted murder/murder.
As a pregnant woman, I am utterly determined that my child will NOT be an entitled brat.
So, i had a similar situation with a manager as story 2, when my SO passed away from septic shock. I woke up to him unconcious and had to call ambulance, go to the hospital, all that jazz, and find out he was septic and they were testing to see if he was brain dead. This is a long story, short, sorry wont be going into the details.
Anyways, i was off that day but scheduled to work the next day. Oh, and i was also an opening asm. By the end of the day, on valentines day, i called my boss and called out. Now, by that point, i didnt know he was going to be pulled off life support in a few days and that he was brain dead. I was still waiting on results. So yea, i called out, explained the situation, no big deal, take the day. Next day, still no results, taking another day off. No big deal. Then the next day, results came in, and from what im sure you can gather from a few sentences ago...no brain waves. Family had to be called to come say goodbyes, i was a mess that night. I called my boss. Told her i had to take leave. She not only told me no, but also suggested i was lying. Yea...cause id lie about something like that. I should note, i ONLY know she thought i was lying because a coworker told me later that night. I called her boss. I explained the situation. I had a good relationship with her boss, as i had more time with the company. She knew me. She knew this wasnt a joke. Or a way to get out of work. She told me take as much time as i needed and shed handle my boss. Yall, my boss went to the hospital to see if i was lying. She told me she went to pray for him, but my little buddy co worker told me the truth, that she went there to see if i was lying. Like wtf!?
There are actually more stories about this manager, but that one...that one gets me angry eveey time i remember it.
Another incident was when my father passed away, while i was with a different company. My manager was extremely understanding, and told me to take my time. I could only go a week before going crazy just sitting around grieving. So went back on light work. This time, it was the bigger boss. But not nearly as bad, actually makes me chuckle. So again, i was trusted by the district manager, my bosses boss. He held me in high enough regard to ask my opinion on new workers.
The day i went back, he decided to visit the store, where a manager for another store was being trained...while i was out. He stopped me to ask my opinion on said new manager. Told him, really sorry, but i cant say as i had to take a week off.
"What? Why the heck were you out for a whole week?" And not concerned, mind you. More like, how dare you.
My response " because my dad passed away from cancer."
Yall...his face was worth it. He knew what he did, and it was clear he felt really bad...and stupid...and yes...apologized profusely. Even checked in later. Im assuming he had a bad day that day prior to talking to me lol. I can forgive him. The other one...Candy...if you read this...go to heII you stupid stuck up dog!
Oh...and thats a nice way of putting how i feel still 12 yrs later thanks to youtube restrictions.
Story 5: I do get desperately wanting to avoid confrontation, but she definitely should ahve sued that karen for theft. And/or said "You want SPRINKLES kid? Here's some SPRINKLES" and dumped them over her bratty head.
Story 6: OP shouldn't feel sorry. I don't think "nice" and "family gathering" are compatible words in this situation, so there was nothing to ruin.
Story 5:
♪ Entitled kid, the little brute
Has just gone down the garbage chute
And she will meet as she descends
A rather different set of friends
A rather different set of friends
A rather different set of friends
A fish head, for example, cut
This morning from a halibut
An oyster from an oyster stew
A steak that no one else would chew
And lots of other things as well
Each with its rather horrid smell
Horrid smell
These are EK's new-found friends
That she will meet as she descends
These are EK's new-found friends
Who went and spoiled her, who indeed?
Who pandered to her every need?
Who turned her into such a brat?
Who are the culprits, who did that?
The guilty ones, now this is sad
Dear old mum, and loving dad ♪
@@JamesDavy2009 OMG I love that song! xD
I can see why they don’t have family gatherings that much!
My thoughts on story 2? I would have gotten loud during that confrontation and really given her something to be embarrassed about. "Well, I'm so sorry you were so TERRIBLY INCONVENIENCED by my DAUGHTER DYING in the hospital, I will try to be better about ABANDONING MY FAMILY to SERVE YOU UNQUESTIONINGLY."
The bosses like the one in the second story make me sick.,and make me glad I no longer work for the one I had. I called her from the hospital telling her I had to go in for emergency surgery for appendices got mad at me because she was the only one to take my shift. then called my cell which I had with me and asked when I'm going back to work
In the doctor's place I would've put Karen in the ER by knocking her out cold... refusing him to leave for a heartattack? She realy didn't care for anyone else...
I listened to the entitled kid story about he starbucks drink. I smiled the whole time. Know why? Because, that entitled kid is going to grow into an entitled adult, who is going to cause her entitled mother no end of entitled grief.
A real Veruca Salt right there.
