3 star general story: You NEVER pester a person in civilian clothes using any base facilities. You just never know who they are or who they're related/married to. And often enough you DO NOT WANT to find out the hard way.
You gotta wonder how many spouses he's gone with, he's super determined. Sleeping with a fellow soldier's wife is a BIG no-no. You could definitely be demoted, if not outright court marshalled .
That applies to normal people. You don't pester people because you never know who you might piss off. Like hitting on the Chief of Police's wife as an example or a lawyer who would take pleasure in ruining your life.
I don't even see it as a potential threat of consequences. Generally you shouldn't pester anyone to begin with. However, as someone else pointed out, he probably has a long history of doing stuff like this and today he just did to someone far higher up on the food chain than he. I'm willing to bet that she pulled his file and went over it with a microscope, then got a sexual harassment charge put on him and he got extra duty till his contract expired.
I'm a veteran. All I have to say is that my ass is puckering out of sympathy for the reaming that Private (trust me, he wasn't a Staff Sergeant after that) received.
But dude as a vet you actually think that story was real? A 3 star getting hit on by a Staff?! I could see if they claimed a Senior or Chief Master Sgt or even a Major or Colonel but a Staff Sargeant?!
@@bluemeanie9554 you'd be surprised how stupid people get when you're on base. Not everyone on base walks around in uniform, especially if they aren't actually working at that moment... When some guys think with their dicks, they tend to not use their brains, and common sense goes out the proverbial window. I've seen some crazy stuff happen, though I've only ever experienced the Air Force flavor of base-crazies.
@@brotatochip420 Dude I did 10 years in the Marines so I am fully aware of the stupidity laced on base but I still call sheninigans on this story! The average Staff is around 28-30 years old while a 3 star general, you looking at early to mid 50s at the MINIMUM and hes hitting on her like she's a 21 year old??!! Come on bruh! That's why I said I would believe it if it was a Senior or Chief Master Sgt (E-8 and E-9 in the Air Force) but an E-6?!
He ASKED for a date with her, got the big green weenie WITH BARBED WIRE CLUSTER! After the "date" he was AT BEST A PFC, AT WORST, PFC(Private Friggin Civilian)
With respects, Blue Meanie, the three-star may be “in her mid-50’s” but given the shape she plainly was in-and not in anything ID’ing her as a three-star-and how anyone around age 50 looks, she probably looked mid-30’s or a little younger…..
Story 1: I'll give him credit, he did apologize, which makes him far wiser than 98% of the people we make fun of here. Story 2: Quite a first and last date, I imagine.
I would've loved to see that guy's face when he found out he had harassed a general. That's like flipping off Cthulhu when you're a newbie scrub level of stupid.
This is one of those stories you tell around the camp fire after you had half a case of beer. Every service member who has served in the military long enough has their own "epic level of stupidity" stories.
One thing though, couldn't they potentially get in trouble for giving them a tougher challenge than everyone else? I doubt anyone will catch on, but that is kind of cheating to deliberately handicap someone that way just because you don't like them, even if it is morally justified by them being racist assholes. I mean technically that's actual money they were cheated out of since they had to pay for the meal, so depending on how that waiver is written, they might be able to sue after all. What if the guys find out from a friend that their challenge was made way harder? It might've been safer to just give them the regular tacos.
Lol, I work as a cook and waiter. My boss is from Sri Lanka. She always make a dish from her home country, and you have no idea how many people said something like "it doesn't taste like it's a Sri Lankan dish..." And when they see the manager, they always turn red in shame
@@metanightmare4454 You are skipping an important detail, they did request them to be "extra spicy." Had they just been jerks, and not asked for it to be extra spicy, then yea, I could see it being unfair.
Great first story! I like that the biker dude came back to own up to his mistake and apologize. Anyone can make a mistake, but it takes a really big person to admit to making one.
I’m a shift manager for a retail drug store chain. A few years ago this guy is causing commotion in the pharmacy. Claiming we shorted his daughter’s prescription a month ago. I come to try and handle it. He then starts telling his daughter in Chinese how American businesses like to rip people off. I try to talk but every time he interrupts me before I get 2 words out. I finally yell in Chinese “SHUT UP IM TALKING”. The guy immediately froze. The whole family was embarrassed. I gave him a piece of my mind in Chinese. He kept trying to fight me but his wife and kids kept grabbing him to please go home. Unlike OP, I’m clearly an Asian woman. If you can tell the difference between the orientals. I’m clearly Chinese. I do have an American first name and due to marriage I have an American last name
The secret to veggie-hating kids is a blender. Cook the veggies in water and blend them to oblivion. Add the ingredients they like; they'll never know the veggies are there. I used to hide blended veggies in everything possible.
i love seeing anyone, especially someone intimidating, swallow his pride and apologise, it shows the biker is developing some better character by being put in his place.
2nd story... likely he kissed any promotion goodbye for it... and not only one reaming out by the 3-star general that he wouldn't accept a no from, but from each of his bosses...
Yup. Honestly from what I understand the military takes that kind of thing SUUUUPER seriously, in fact even theres even a rumor of such activity they go nuts trying to figure out if its true or not. If it is, well someones either getting demoted or dishonorbly discharged. If not, usually theres either 'nothing' or an apology.
He'd be lucky if they only bust him to Specialist. But I'm guessing he's a Private now. Generals are WAY up the food chain and I'm betting she Effed his world up big time.
More than likely he was given a choice to either take a transfer to someplace else say Greenland or Diego Gracia or face the Big Chicken Dinner aka Bad Conduct Discharge after his court martial.
@@theVillageofBri I don't envy him if he did do that... though the poor guy probably had an awful stomach ache if he really did choke down the whole cup of cream and sugar 😂
I'm imagining the guy who hit on a 3 star general got tore apart and considering the military hierarchy generally if the ranks above you gets torn a new one then considering that he was a staff sergeant by the time the tear down reached him it was probably thermonuclear and he was probably a private on every special assignment his superiors could throw at him :)
Yes. It's usually bad luck to even be called in to meet with your boss's boss. To meet the second in command with three different of your bosses? Haha, you'd be lucky to be able to go back to post afterwards. (My family has veterans and active serving members. The only time my dad saw his three bosses, was when he was being discharged. That and the pizzas a helicopter pilot brought my dad.)
@@Dusk.EighthLegion Okay so my dad was what's called an ET technician. But everyone just called him, and the other ET's, an everything technician instead. One day a helicopter pilot came to him asking for a few extra minutes to talk to his wife since they were on the ship and his wife was pregnant. My dad didn't care so he allowed it. The pilot asked my dad if he wanted anything, and my dad jokingly said pizza. The next week the pilot flew 5 Domino pizzas to the ship, for my dad. They had a party, or how much of a party you can have on a navy ship. Hope you enjoyed. Happy Halloween. ^^
Heh, I guess that’s something the military and civilian worlds have in common. I’m not really concerned if my supervisor calls me up to the office-there’s a whole bunch of good or neutral reasons to call one of us to the office. Yearly retraining (COSHH or fire alarm training) or to warn you that the end of the financial year is coming and you need to book the rest of your annual leave, to signing routine paperwork. Stuff like that. However if I’m ever called up to see my department head-the department manager or her deputy manager, that’s when my ass puckers in fear because THAT is very very rarely due to a good or neutral reason. Usually it means one of the patients or their families has complained about me. Occasionally it can be complaints from other hospital staff but if possible both the supervisors and management prefer to see if any issues can be resolved in other ways than go down the disciplinary route. For example with two cleaners to the ward the standard practice is to work together in harmony and help out if the other cleaner needs help. (The ward is basically split in half with each of us responsible for our half of the ward. It can happen. If say several patients on your side are discharged or moved at once. The exact bed spaces to clean can put you behind as there’s a ton of other tasks to do.) Anyway this one time I had someone on overtime since my usual partner was off sick. And as luck would have it, the nurses asked for a bedspace to be cleaned urgently as the patient had been sent to us from ER just as I’m getting the evening meals out of the oven and set up for the nurses to serve. This has to be done right away as once the food leaves the oven we’re basically on a timer due to health and safety laws. Worse, the food has to be temperature checked to ensure it meets legal standards. I’m was literally doing something required by law. I explained this to the nurses and suggested they find the other cleaner to start on it for me until my legal duties were done and I could take over. Just fifteen minutes at most. But she refused saying she was too busy which is bullshit and I knew it from experience since we swap sides every week. So when the nurse came back I suggested having the Nurse in Charge give the order as the NiC is basically god of the ward. We can’t disobey her. The other cleaner refused again so at this point I’m done with the food. I called the supervisor to come down so I could report my lazy temporary partner. Soon she found me and I explained the issue with the NiC backing me up. I wasn’t told what happened next except our manager showed up a little while later then all three left the ward. So if it was me I’d be really worried. But about 20 minutes later my temporary partner returned and kept glaring at me for the rest shift. Again I can’t say what happened to her exactly but the following week she’d been reassigned from her previous ward. (Which was small enough for just one cleaner.) Instead she’d been reassigned to the combination of doing eight of the toilets (one for each floor) and cleaning the main stairwell. Trust me, that’s the worst assignment in the whole hospital due to the unhygienic nature of the public toilets and the stairwell is so heavily used that by the she’d done four floors, the first one she’d done was filthy again. There is no way to keep it clean for more than half an hour at best. So yeah the military does have a few good similarities to the military. Don’t disobey the rankings NiC or management will make your work living hell.
For the longest time I thought Stevo was his cat because of Fluff saying he fed him and made sure he got fresh air and whatnot , but then I found out he was the editor things made so much more sense. 😂
The Mexican restaurant one reminds me of a story a family friend told us one time. She's white but speaks fluent Spanish. She's in a restaurant one day and her waitress is Hispanic. After eating, she realizes she doesn't have enough small bills to leave a tip, so she goes to the register intent on paying and then going back to leave a tip. The waitress sees that she didn't leave a tip so she follows our friend to the register, cussing at her in Spanish under her breath. My friend pays for her meal, turns around with a ten in her hand and in perfect Spanish tells the waitress, "This was going to be your tip, but after what you just said I'll be talking to your manager instead."
my husband family is from Spain. as a child he was raised in Venezuela since his parent took him there as tot so they could support his relative in Spain since it was after WWII and they could not get into the states as easily as now by walking over the border. they also wanted to do it legally so they could become citizens as soon as they could. he is now in the states and had to go to the doctor office. he lives in a very Immigrant town. with people just off the boat and it is the last 1970's. he is your typical European. pale skin. and he sat next to these two ladies who were speaking Spanish and talking crap about his looks and laughing at his. than they went in and a nurse came to him and asked if he could interrrupt for the doctor. he said he would help if he could. he was in the doctor's office with these two same ladies and told them what the doctor said. they looked at him and were surprised that a gringo could speak their language. they asked where he came from and he said Spain. than the ladies said, they speak Spanish there?!?
I’m calling it. The second story will live rent free in my head until I die. May it always make me smile!! That General wasn’t only admirably badass professionally (I had to use a word that sounded like “Admiral” for extra giggles), but she proved to be a savage with a sense of humor. (At least I’m still laughing!)
This as inspired me for the next guy who hits on me like this, after I turned him down and after saying I'm married. I'll give him a phone number. My husband phone number. 😎
Solider is a disgrace in my opinion. Having relations with your fellow soliders wives is actually very dangerous. Ticked off army man with access to guns...what could go wrong??!! 🤦♀️Hope he learned his lesson.
Can’t have an encounter when you’re staying inside, searching the internet for lovely stories to share with the rest of us lol. So I’d say he is potentially safe 😂
A group of people tried this at a Chinese restaurant once thinking that Chinese food isn't spicy. Turns out that when you make chili oil with the Carolina Reaper, it's a lot spicier than you think.
"ketchup" was a derisive term. And yes, this happens almost every day, some macho dude or dudes thinking that they can eat anything and ignore all the warnings given them.;
That story about the dad with the kids in the veggies in the soup, that is pure genius! Like not only did the dad get the kids to eat the veggies but he showed them why they should like the veggies he didn't just give them the classic eat it because I said so and that's what's for dinner crap I mean yeah I get it sometimes if the kids are being crazy you got to go to the stern route but if they're doing the whole well I don't like it I don't like the way it taste it makes me sick when they've never even tried it before so how would they know that it would make them sick? Know this route that the father just laid down is perfect it's like will let me make it the way you want me to make it what do you mean you don't like it? Yeah you should probably try it the way that your mom made it right? And then do you like it a lot? Yeah you're right you probably should leave the vegetables in from now on! Yay everybody wins!
I have found that letting kids help make the dish usually makes them more likely to eat it. Also, I can throw in tips like "What's the first thing you do when you're going to cook?" Answer: Run a sinkful of hot, soapy water so you can wash as you go."
The fifth story had me chuckling. My kid sister once had a real slimeball for a boyfriend (me and my BIL did NOT have a good first impression of him for some reason). She found out later she started out as his side chick, and said slimeball eventually got himself a new side chick. Thankfully my sister realized he was a serial cheater and dumped him. The slimeball then had the utter chutzpah to tell my sister he wanted to chase women for a while, but when he was ready to settle down, he wanted to settle down with her. Her response? 🖕(she did eventually find someone better).
i lived for 2 years in a military base, child of military, if there was one thing i learned hard inside there, assume that ANYBODY you meet is an officer, even if youre sure he/she is the partner of military and not military themselves. you do not want to find yourself having talked down, mouthed off, mistreat someone that could potentially make the entirety of your life hell with one order
I had enlisted in the US Navy and while I was in Boot Camp there was a change of command for recruit training. As the new commanding officer, a Commander ((O5)Lt. Col in Army, Air Force, and Marines) was touring the barracks, he stopped and told the Petty Officer in my company that if I (the Commander mentioned me by name) did not clean the "bright work" (shiny metal surfaces) then the company would not pass his inspection. I was a lowly Seaman (E3) and had met this man at the base my father had retired from.
I was in the military at let me tell you that if you are EVER ordered to the (I'm guessing) base CO's office, AND in your service uniform you KNOW you had F'd up. Honestly it sends shivers down my spine just imagining what went on in the SSGTs mind as he stood tall in front of the 3-star he was trying to hit on. Based off the story, he obviously didn't get off easy and probably got discharged with either Bad Conduct or OTH (if he was lucky).
Story 1 is so cute: The guy could have learned is lesson in silent - but instead he apologized for not listening. But still trying become "tough guy", he listened carefully to the expert just once, so that next time, he can be the confident guy that gets exactly what he wants, no questions ask.
If you’re going to do a challenge with hot sauce you put yourself in that situation not the staff at the restaurant you don’t need to yell or sue them because it’s a waste of time.
Officially, yes. But this in itself could have an impact in the general morale of the troops under her command. The revenge both got the point across and had no impact on the person's honorable service status with the military. I admit it has been a few years and I don't have a desire to look it up, but I think the most rank you can lose is three ranks. A drop to "buck private" as you put it would have also include the dishonorable discharge from service. Although it should be pointed out that any loss in rank pretty much means a end to your carrier. Especially at that level of enlistment rank. When your next reenlistment comes up the military will simply decline the offer.
I have zero idea about how the US military works - I'm not American - but how can you get demoted over what, to me, looks like something that is a private matter that happened "off work", and seems to be an honest mistake to boot (I'm assuming the general was not showing her rank, or that she belonged to the military at all). The guy was a complete asshole, sure, but I'm legitimately wondering if a demotion would be legal here. I mean, can any officer just demote a subordinate if they "don't like their face"?
@@drsnova7313 They drill into people time and time and time again the idea that sexual harassment is not something to be tolerated. In other words, Zero Tolerance. Like violence. Here's a guy trying to make time with what he assumed was some officers wife. However, he could have been attempting also to intimidate some woman who was of lesser rank than him into granting him sexual favors in return for favors or to prevent receiving punishments.
I was really hoping the pale guy would eat one of those tacos right in front of them to prove a point. Edit: but they legit asked for extra spicy, so idk why they are mad.
You get called to a Lt. General's office at 07:30 as a SSG with your three immediate superiors you're either A) headed to the brig and the big chicken dinner, or B) going to be a LOT lower rank than a SGG immediately afterwards *just shakes his head* 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Oh, my goodness! I had to smile extra hard at the coffee incident, as my mom had to come up with a 'coffee' drink for my baby sister, as she was continually getting into my mom's coffee! Mom ended up putting a splash of coffee into a mug of milk and told my sister that it was her 'coffee'! Props to that biker for manning up and apologizing.
I can just imagine the other "dates" that occurred with the staff sergeant after his first date with the general. That was definitely a career-altering date. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had the same reaction because I had not to end a sentence with a preposition drilled into me as a kid. It does remind me of a Winston Churchill story though where he allegedly said, “Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put!”
The veggies story: when I was a child, my mom used to tell me that eating lots of veggies can help me grow taller, so i ate lots of it & like it very much. However, now I’m in my thirties only 4’11 😂.. well slightly taller than my mom 4’9 😌
Which country? (just being curious - I'm in Germany, being taller than average after a lot of stuff in my childhood that might have been making me grow to 6'2... )
Height in women is more related to height at puberty as estrogen stops bone growth. Lots of exercise delays puberty in women… Good food increases height at puberty…
"Do you work here?" This happened today. I work at a grocery store, name opposite of Bottoms. Uniform is a black polo shirt, and kaki pants (or black jeans). Only thing stating the name of the place is a ballcap (one one uses them) and the name tag. Used to be Corporate would give out a specific shirt (one with a red collar), but most didn't like it - and it made one stand out when off the clock, and was annoying if one had to stop at another store in the chain on the way home - this way we just look like a guy in a black shirt and kakis. Anyways, practically after clocking in, I see my section needs a cart for cardboard, so I head towards the back. Older gentleman steps out of the aisle, and goes, "Excuse me, but, do you work here?" I look at this fella, and go, "Let's see - I got this hat with the store name, and a nametag that has the store name - Nope! I don't work here." Old man got to chuckle at this (so did I). Then he went, "Um, where's the milk?" I pointed him in the right direction. I told my Assistant Manager (whose sense of humor is hard to find), and he chuckled to, as did most of my co-workers I told the story to. Might be a running gag for a little while.
Not allowing employees to know each other's salary is a common and effective way of abusing employees, so that they can't compare and demand a fair wage.
You know what I've learned over the years? Don't judge a book by its cover. I've met "hard-core bikers" who are really nice guys and I've met innocuous looking people who are dicks. I'm a Marine and you probably couldn't tell by looking at me, it doesn't change the fact though.
Story 2: If this was in the USA, in the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) adultery is literally a violation and punishable! Harassing someone for a date is bad enough, but harassing someone you know to be married to commit adultery with you...hoooooboy! That SS would have been in sooooo much trouble!
Fluff: "Stevo, show something funny!" Stevo: "You sure about this, boss?" Fluff: "Yes. Do it." Stevo: "OK." cue MC *Stevo shows pic of Fluff getting punched in the face*
As a truck driver, my favorite way to make coffee is to take in two used large cups, clean them thoroughly and place each on the grind and brew machines (for those who don't know what a Fresh-brew is.) I set up both ambidextrously and then grab a 44oz cup from the fountain drink area before putting ice just over where the cup flares out. Then, I go back and put just enough cream to be seen below the ice. Add cocoa powder, powdered peanuts and then dump both coffees in. By the time I am finished I have a body temperature Hershey's flavored coffee.
Oh yeah, SSgt got ripped a new one. When he got dressed down by the general she would also have a few choice words for the 1st Sgt & the Commander (who is the head of the squadron that SSgt was assigned to). Trust me, 1st Sgt & Commander (probably a Lt. Col.) would not be happy about being called (and probably embarassed) by the Vice Commander and once back at the squadron they would continue to rip SSgt along with some additional, unpleasant disiplinary action. Being ex USAF I'd bet on it.
At a gas station, in a very small town, and once a year the biker toy run would come through delivering toys to kids for Christmas. Think massive stuffed animals strapped to the back of guys. This was when I was still walking and I'm actually a pretty tall guy, 6'4" and after filling up my van a guy MUCH more massive and taller than me opened the door to the store for me. What was funny, to me anyway, was the huge man with a beard that rivaled my own, in Texas, who responded to my "Thank you" with the most posh English accent I've ever heard. That moment started a long friendship that is still strong 25 years later. Really great guy!
TLF is Temporary Lodging Facility. Its not necessarily a fancy hotel. Generally, it can be nicer or more basic depending on rank (with officer's quarters being the nicest).
@ 4:06 I used to work civil service. (Other than this was the Air Force, nothing else matches.) One day I was in the office of my flight superintendent. Our squadron commander walked in and we were talking together. (what about does not matter) When he left I looked up at the ceiling and said, "Now there is a guy I have to look up to." My superintendent, who is much shorter than me said "Especially for those of us who are vertically challenged." We both laughed about that and went about our day. Our commander was about 6 feet 5 inches, I'm 5 feet 8 inches, and my superintendent was about 5 feet. I'm retired now, and I don't miss the stress. I do miss the friends I had, both above and below me, and some of the work I used to do. @ 6:05 I used to work in 8th Air Force. I would regularly meet with 1 star generals and colonels while I was an A1C, so figure just as much distance between ranks. Generally it was just a hello how are you kind of thing unless they came to my work center. They would come in just to do an inspection every once in a while. I never saw anyone get in trouble during the inspections as we did well enough to get an outstanding rating on the official command wide inspections. The ones I had trouble with were spouses who insisted on the same treatment as their husbands rank required. Thankfully, there were only a couple of those, and plenty of witnesses who said I did nothing wrong.
If you didn't know, 3 star general (Second highest right now, or third highest during wartime) is a Lieutenant General. Which means, don't f**k with them.
About the first story... I have an aunt who like a lot of creamer in her coffee and she often get asked "would you like some coffee in your cream?" It's just personal preference, after all.
The soldier trying to pick up the general is funny. As a E4, I tried to do the same thing to my First Sergeant. Only I was smart enough to stop when she firmly said no. I was shocked when she told the story at Monday morning formation, only she didn't say who the soldier was. I still learned my lesson and she was a very good person.
Story 1: I ordered double cream at Tim Horton's and the girl was so frigging confused, she thought I wanted half cream half coffee. Pre-measured shots shouldn't be confusing.
Guys guys what if, stevo and fluff are something like Jekyll and Hyde and both are like the same person on different times, like split personality but that's just a theory a game theory.
That general story hits me a little close to home, because back when I was in the military (it's in Singapore, where conscription is practiced), I actually bumped into my unit commander on separate occasions. Once while I was a trainee for my vocation, and later on, when I was actually posted to my unit. Both times, my then-unit commanders were in civilian clothing. I can't share it for obvious confidential reasons, but luckily for me, both were pretty nice people and were willing to help me out (I was sort of lost on both occasions). Long story short: always be courteous to whoever you meet, cause it may end up in an awkward situation later on.
I remember when I was in basic training and the father of a buddy of mine happened to visit the barracks. I was a private ("Flieger" in German Air Force), he was a Lt. Col. ("Oberstleutnant" in Germany, he was also army) requesting to meet with me... you should have seen the faces... ;-))
Regarding the "coffee" story, the short answer is that YES, there are people who drink that. It's called "leche caliente" and is popular in Mexico as a children's drink. It's just milk and sugar, warmed up; basically hot chocolate without the chocolate.
My story of revenge on the picky eater. I was the parent at home while my wife worked. I made all the meals and think it's fair to say I was a far better cook than she was. Middle boy was a piece of work when he was a toddler - tantrum king and picky eater. "I won't eat that, there's vegavles in that" (that's how he said it). I quickly realized that the food processor can be your best friend as what they can't see.... One thing I would do every so often was make a huge batch of potato pancakes, adding pureed onion and cabbage. Kids loved them. One day for supper I had these done and a batch of pork ribs ready to put on the BBQ. As was my habit, I had a sink full of soapy water and was washing the cooking stuff as I went. Now middle boy was adamant about having BBQ sauce on everything, which should have been no problem given the menu. When I handed the plates around the table he threw a fit, and demanded his ribs with no BBQ sauce. I just whisked his plate away, went to the sink (which he couldn't see from the table), dropped the ribs in the soapy dishwater, scoured the BBQ sauce off with the pot scrubbing brush, rinsed them off, wiped the bits of sauce from the plate and returned to the table. "You're in luck," I said, "there was just one serving without sauce!" "Thanks, Dad," he said. I watched him scarf down the meal, all the time thinking, "I finally got you, you little bastard." He was about 7 or 8 when this happened, and I told him the story when he was 16ish. He was outraged, and demanded to know how I could have done such a thing. My response was, "To save your life."
3:50 oh, it is! I used to drink my coffee that way, before I switched to black during my health kick. I haven’t drunk it any other way since, and when someone tried to make me coffee with that 12-12, I took a sip and choked on it.
Story 4 - Soup: When I was young our divorced grandmother lived with our family and did most of the cooking. We had a large garden with vegetables so vegetable soup was an often-had dish. I liked the taste but there was always a layer of molten fat on top. One day I asked her to cook the soup without the fat because fat was disgusting. -And she did. The next soup had all the ingredients but the fat. But it tasted like numb feet. When I asked her to put the fat into the soup again in the future she just smiled and nodded.
One of the things I love about this channel are the commercials I get. Especially this one that is basically a tree service with SAIL playing in the background. 3 min without political, get rich quick,or false advertising for a spa service. 🙄Let alone 40 min of any one advertisement. Ahhhh a great time with y'all followed by 3 min of sweet stress relief. I don't know what magic this is but I appreciate it!🙌🖤💜🖤🙌💕

Story 5 About Veggies... Invest in a Vitamix with the soup setting. I guarantee you should never have a problem getting the kids to eat veggies. Makes the most amazing soups and sauces.
Story #3 reminds me of my own episode at Iguana Mia in Bonita Springs many years ago. I was alone for lunch, and they brought the chips and salsa. I forget what I ordered, but asked for a salsa that was "a little more challenging." Honestly, I was being polite! What they brought out was liquid volcano. And the staff was all peering at me from the kitchen. I forged thru the meal, unashamedly drinking gallons of water, and was more careful about how I ordered in the future. At the time I saw the humor in it all, and still chuckle about it today.
Story #3-Nuclear Challenge… I went to a Mexican Restaurant. This was a family operation, Dad cooked and Mom and her daughters took orders. One afternoon Mom and Dad were gone and the daughters were running the place. I ordered a burrito “with lots of hot sauce.” The girl gave me a look, ya want hot sauce??? She complied-and it was righteous! I was breathing fire for the next couple of hours! The next afternoon I returned. I guess the girls told their Mom what they did to me. (I’m Anglo with fair complexion and red hair-back then). Mom shrieked; “Not for you! Not for you!” (Gave me only the usual dose of salsa for Gringos).
The customers in the Taco story were blatantly racist. Also, the wife probably cheated more than 16 times. By affair, I think they meant with 16 different people.
I bet the 3 star general didn't even do any yelling. She probably left that up to his two commanders
Of course she didn't. Like you said, that's what Tops are for.
@@thatjeff7550 exactly. I'm imaging her sitting there sipping coffee and just watching him get reamed out.
She might have congratulated him on his demotion and shitty new post.
All she did was sign his transfer papers to the most remote base in the world.

3 star general story: You NEVER pester a person in civilian clothes using any base facilities. You just never know who they are or who they're related/married to. And often enough you DO NOT WANT to find out the hard way.
...And now he knows that too!
Probably reflects on that meeting, as he scrapes birdshit off the runway on Guam!
You gotta wonder how many spouses he's gone with, he's super determined. Sleeping with a fellow soldier's wife is a BIG no-no. You could definitely be demoted, if not outright court marshalled .
That applies to normal people. You don't pester people because you never know who you might piss off. Like hitting on the Chief of Police's wife as an example or a lawyer who would take pleasure in ruining your life.
I don't even see it as a potential threat of consequences. Generally you shouldn't pester anyone to begin with. However, as someone else pointed out, he probably has a long history of doing stuff like this and today he just did to someone far higher up on the food chain than he.
I'm willing to bet that she pulled his file and went over it with a microscope, then got a sexual harassment charge put on him and he got extra duty till his contract expired.

@@xevira yup
I'm a veteran. All I have to say is that my ass is puckering out of sympathy for the reaming that Private (trust me, he wasn't a Staff Sergeant after that) received.
But dude as a vet you actually think that story was real? A 3 star getting hit on by a Staff?! I could see if they claimed a Senior or Chief Master Sgt or even a Major or Colonel but a Staff Sargeant?!
@@bluemeanie9554 you'd be surprised how stupid people get when you're on base. Not everyone on base walks around in uniform, especially if they aren't actually working at that moment...

I've seen some crazy stuff happen, though I've only ever experienced the Air Force flavor of base-crazies.
@@brotatochip420 Dude I did 10 years in the Marines so I am fully aware of the stupidity laced on base but I still call sheninigans on this story! The average Staff is around 28-30 years old while a 3 star general, you looking at early to mid 50s at the MINIMUM and hes hitting on her like she's a 21 year old??!! Come on bruh! That's why I said I would believe it if it was a Senior or Chief Master Sgt (E-8 and E-9 in the Air Force) but an E-6?!
He ASKED for a date with her, got the big green weenie WITH BARBED WIRE CLUSTER! After the "date" he was AT BEST A PFC, AT WORST, PFC(Private Friggin Civilian)
With respects, Blue Meanie, the three-star may be “in her mid-50’s” but given the shape she plainly was in-and not in anything ID’ing her as a three-star-and how anyone around age 50 looks, she probably looked mid-30’s or a little younger…..
Story 1: I'll give him credit, he did apologize, which makes him far wiser than 98% of the people we make fun of here.
Story 2: Quite a first and last date, I imagine.
I would've loved to see that guy's face when he found out he had harassed a general. That's like flipping off Cthulhu when you're a newbie scrub level of stupid.
Ppl
This is one of those stories you tell around the camp fire after you had half a case of beer. Every service member who has served in the military long enough has their own "epic level of stupidity" stories.
Nice little lesson on the chain of command.
Agreed.
"This doesn't even look like a challenge"
The famous last words of all fools.
One thing though, couldn't they potentially get in trouble for giving them a tougher challenge than everyone else? I doubt anyone will catch on, but that is kind of cheating to deliberately handicap someone that way just because you don't like them, even if it is morally justified by them being racist assholes. I mean technically that's actual money they were cheated out of since they had to pay for the meal, so depending on how that waiver is written, they might be able to sue after all. What if the guys find out from a friend that their challenge was made way harder? It might've been safer to just give them the regular tacos.
I would have made the Sign of the Cross and said "Vios con Dios."
Lol, I work as a cook and waiter. My boss is from Sri Lanka. She always make a dish from her home country, and you have no idea how many people said something like "it doesn't taste like it's a Sri Lankan dish..." And when they see the manager, they always turn red in shame
@@metanightmare4454 You are skipping an important detail, they did request them to be "extra spicy." Had they just been jerks, and not asked for it to be extra spicy, then yea, I could see it being unfair.
I'll bet my bottom dollar they were asking for ice cream AND fans to relieve the heat in their seats!
What does a 3 star usually say to a staff sergeant in their office?
"Sergeant, get me a cup of coffee."
Great first story! I like that the biker dude came back to own up to his mistake and apologize. Anyone can make a mistake, but it takes a really big person to admit to making one.
I’m a shift manager for a retail drug store chain. A few years ago this guy is causing commotion in the pharmacy. Claiming we shorted his daughter’s prescription a month ago. I come to try and handle it. He then starts telling his daughter in Chinese how American businesses like to rip people off. I try to talk but every time he interrupts me before I get 2 words out. I finally yell in Chinese “SHUT UP IM TALKING”. The guy immediately froze. The whole family was embarrassed. I gave him a piece of my mind in Chinese. He kept trying to fight me but his wife and kids kept grabbing him to please go home.
Unlike OP, I’m clearly an Asian woman. If you can tell the difference between the orientals. I’m clearly Chinese. I do have an American first name and due to marriage I have an American last name
Story 4: i’m actually kind of proud and impressed of that dad for turning that into a teachable moment, well done 👍
The secret to veggie-hating kids is a blender. Cook the veggies in water and blend them to oblivion. Add the ingredients they like; they'll never know the veggies are there. I used to hide blended veggies in everything possible.
I was raised in the military and I too would have loved to have seen the close quarters screaming from his CO.😂
I'm not used to military so only just now realised how close I've seen them get while yelling and am wondering how that's working during These Times 💀
i love seeing anyone, especially someone intimidating, swallow his pride and apologise, it shows the biker is developing some better character by being put in his place.
2nd story... likely he kissed any promotion goodbye for it... and not only one reaming out by the 3-star general that he wouldn't accept a no from, but from each of his bosses...
Yup. Honestly from what I understand the military takes that kind of thing SUUUUPER seriously, in fact even theres even a rumor of such activity they go nuts trying to figure out if its true or not. If it is, well someones either getting demoted or dishonorbly discharged. If not, usually theres either 'nothing' or an apology.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Yeah, there's no way this dude didn't lose rank and pay.
He'd be lucky if they only bust him to Specialist. But I'm guessing he's a Private now. Generals are WAY up the food chain and I'm betting she Effed his world up big time.
@@The-Singularity-X01 Actually what he was doing was illegal in the military....adultery is a crime and is punishable under the UCMJ!
More than likely he was given a choice to either take a transfer to someplace else say Greenland or Diego Gracia or face the Big Chicken Dinner aka Bad Conduct Discharge after his court martial.
He apologised without his friends being there. That's a walk of shame.
And he probably choked down the whole drink instead of admitting he effed up in front of his friends 😂
@@theVillageofBri I don't envy him if he did do that... though the poor guy probably had an awful stomach ache if he really did choke down the whole cup of cream and sugar 😂
Still demands respect IMO. He could also have just ignored the whole thing.
@@ShelLuser I thought the same thing
This makes him a Steven in my opinion. Kevins/Karens never learn. Stevens/Sharons do learn.
I'm imagining the guy who hit on a 3 star general got tore apart and considering the military hierarchy generally if the ranks above you gets torn a new one then considering that he was a staff sergeant by the time the tear down reached him it was probably thermonuclear and he was probably a private on every special assignment his superiors could throw at him :)
Fluff: *Making our days better
Stevo: *agressive editing after he gets a 1 cent raise*
Who is getting the 1 cent raise? Is it Fluff or Stevo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes. It's usually bad luck to even be called in to meet with your boss's boss. To meet the second in command with three different of your bosses? Haha, you'd be lucky to be able to go back to post afterwards. (My family has veterans and active serving members. The only time my dad saw his three bosses, was when he was being discharged. That and the pizzas a helicopter pilot brought my dad.)
Yup. I think that meeting definitely falls under the heading of FUBAR where Sarge is concerned.
"That and the pizzas a helicopter pilot brought my dad."
*Please, please, please elaborate on this, I must know more.*
@@Dusk.EighthLegion Okay so my dad was what's called an ET technician. But everyone just called him, and the other ET's, an everything technician instead. One day a helicopter pilot came to him asking for a few extra minutes to talk to his wife since they were on the ship and his wife was pregnant. My dad didn't care so he allowed it. The pilot asked my dad if he wanted anything, and my dad jokingly said pizza. The next week the pilot flew 5 Domino pizzas to the ship, for my dad. They had a party, or how much of a party you can have on a navy ship.
Hope you enjoyed. Happy Halloween. ^^
@@lily_darkness_gogy_wattpad7690 Thank you for the wonderful story, and a happy Halloween to you as well.
Heh, I guess that’s something the military and civilian worlds have in common. I’m not really concerned if my supervisor calls me up to the office-there’s a whole bunch of good or neutral reasons to call one of us to the office. Yearly retraining (COSHH or fire alarm training) or to warn you that the end of the financial year is coming and you need to book the rest of your annual leave, to signing routine paperwork. Stuff like that.
However if I’m ever called up to see my department head-the department manager or her deputy manager, that’s when my ass puckers in fear because THAT is very very rarely due to a good or neutral reason. Usually it means one of the patients or their families has complained about me.
Occasionally it can be complaints from other hospital staff but if possible both the supervisors and management prefer to see if any issues can be resolved in other ways than go down the disciplinary route.
For example with two cleaners to the ward the standard practice is to work together in harmony and help out if the other cleaner needs help. (The ward is basically split in half with each of us responsible for our half of the ward. It can happen. If say several patients on your side are discharged or moved at once. The exact bed spaces to clean can put you behind as there’s a ton of other tasks to do.) Anyway this one time I had someone on overtime since my usual partner was off sick.
And as luck would have it, the nurses asked for a bedspace to be cleaned urgently as the patient had been sent to us from ER just as I’m getting the evening meals out of the oven and set up for the nurses to serve. This has to be done right away as once the food leaves the oven we’re basically on a timer due to health and safety laws. Worse, the food has to be temperature checked to ensure it meets legal standards. I’m was literally doing something required by law. I explained this to the nurses and suggested they find the other cleaner to start on it for me until my legal duties were done and I could take over. Just fifteen minutes at most.
But she refused saying she was too busy which is bullshit and I knew it from experience since we swap sides every week. So when the nurse came back I suggested having the Nurse in Charge give the order as the NiC is basically god of the ward. We can’t disobey her. The other cleaner refused again so at this point I’m done with the food. I called the supervisor to come down so I could report my lazy temporary partner. Soon she found me and I explained the issue with the NiC backing me up.
I wasn’t told what happened next except our manager showed up a little while later then all three left the ward. So if it was me I’d be really worried. But about 20 minutes later my temporary partner returned and kept glaring at me for the rest shift.
Again I can’t say what happened to her exactly but the following week she’d been reassigned from her previous ward. (Which was small enough for just one cleaner.) Instead she’d been reassigned to the combination of doing eight of the toilets (one for each floor) and cleaning the main stairwell. Trust me, that’s the worst assignment in the whole hospital due to the unhygienic nature of the public toilets and the stairwell is so heavily used that by the she’d done four floors, the first one she’d done was filthy again. There is no way to keep it clean for more than half an hour at best.
So yeah the military does have a few good similarities to the military. Don’t disobey the rankings NiC or management will make your work living hell.
In relation to the second story, When a 3-Star says "come to my office" they don't give a reason. An order is an order!
For the longest time I thought Stevo was his cat because of Fluff saying he fed him and made sure he got fresh air and whatnot , but then I found out he was the editor things made so much more sense. 😂
You're better than me. I thought Stevo was some sort of exotic pet reptile!🤣
If it makes you feel any better I just assumed Steve-O what's the name of the cartoon sheep mascot
The Mexican restaurant one reminds me of a story a family friend told us one time. She's white but speaks fluent Spanish. She's in a restaurant one day and her waitress is Hispanic. After eating, she realizes she doesn't have enough small bills to leave a tip, so she goes to the register intent on paying and then going back to leave a tip. The waitress sees that she didn't leave a tip so she follows our friend to the register, cussing at her in Spanish under her breath. My friend pays for her meal, turns around with a ten in her hand and in perfect Spanish tells the waitress, "This was going to be your tip, but after what you just said I'll be talking to your manager instead."
my husband family is from Spain. as a child he was raised in Venezuela since his parent took him there as tot so they could support his relative in Spain since it was after WWII and they could not get into the states as easily as now by walking over the border. they also wanted to do it legally so they could become citizens as soon as they could. he is now in the states and had to go to the doctor office. he lives in a very Immigrant town. with people just off the boat and it is the last 1970's. he is your typical European. pale skin. and he sat next to these two ladies who were speaking Spanish and talking crap about his looks and laughing at his. than they went in and a nurse came to him and asked if he could interrrupt for the doctor. he said he would help if he could. he was in the doctor's office with these two same ladies and told them what the doctor said. they looked at him and were surprised that a gringo could speak their language. they asked where he came from and he said Spain. than the ladies said, they speak Spanish there?!?
"I want the spiciest item that's known as a challenge! So spicy I have to sign a waiver!!"
...but not that spicy 🥺
I’m calling it. The second story will live rent free in my head until I die. May it always make me smile!! That General wasn’t only admirably badass professionally (I had to use a word that sounded like “Admiral” for extra giggles), but she proved to be a savage with a sense of humor. (At least I’m still laughing!)
This as inspired me for the next guy who hits on me like this, after I turned him down and after saying I'm married. I'll give him a phone number.
My husband phone number.

That was one heck of a date lol! Yeah, that guy definitely got tore a new one.
Solider is a disgrace in my opinion. Having relations with your fellow soliders wives is actually very dangerous. Ticked off army man with access to guns...what could go wrong??!! 🤦♀️Hope he learned his lesson.

That restaurant story: did they really think any business was going to give away food to people that eat "ketchup"?
A group of people tried this at a Chinese restaurant once thinking that Chinese food isn't spicy. Turns out that when you make chili oil with the Carolina Reaper, it's a lot spicier than you think.
OP said he made it extra spicy.
Rule of thumb, don't piss off those who handle your food. Lol
@@peachesandpoets - weah, that seemed a bit unethical though the customers did allegedly ask for it to be even spicier.
"ketchup" was a derisive term. And yes, this happens almost every day, some macho dude or dudes thinking that they can eat anything and ignore all the warnings given them.;
That story about the dad with the kids in the veggies in the soup, that is pure genius! Like not only did the dad get the kids to eat the veggies but he showed them why they should like the veggies he didn't just give them the classic eat it because I said so and that's what's for dinner crap I mean yeah I get it sometimes if the kids are being crazy you got to go to the stern route but if they're doing the whole well I don't like it I don't like the way it taste it makes me sick when they've never even tried it before so how would they know that it would make them sick? Know this route that the father just laid down is perfect it's like will let me make it the way you want me to make it what do you mean you don't like it? Yeah you should probably try it the way that your mom made it right? And then do you like it a lot? Yeah you're right you probably should leave the vegetables in from now on! Yay everybody wins!
This is the second version of the story that I've heard. The other version was grandma that made the soup for the kids instead of the dad.
I have found that letting kids help make the dish usually makes them more likely to eat it. Also, I can throw in tips like "What's the first thing you do when you're going to cook?" Answer: Run a sinkful of hot, soapy water so you can wash as you go."
@@joyceneal6169 Blimey, I've been cooking for decades and that tip is bloody genius.
The fifth story had me chuckling. My kid sister once had a real slimeball for a boyfriend (me and my BIL did NOT have a good first impression of him for some reason). She found out later she started out as his side chick, and said slimeball eventually got himself a new side chick. Thankfully my sister realized he was a serial cheater and dumped him. The slimeball then had the utter chutzpah to tell my sister he wanted to chase women for a while, but when he was ready to settle down, he wanted to settle down with her. Her response? 🖕(she did eventually find someone better).
"This doesn't even look like a challenge." Famous last words.
i lived for 2 years in a military base, child of military, if there was one thing i learned hard inside there, assume that ANYBODY you meet is an officer, even if youre sure he/she is the partner of military and not military themselves. you do not want to find yourself having talked down, mouthed off, mistreat someone that could potentially make the entirety of your life hell with one order
I had enlisted in the US Navy and while I was in Boot Camp there was a change of command for recruit training. As the new commanding officer, a Commander ((O5)Lt. Col in Army, Air Force, and Marines) was touring the barracks, he stopped and told the Petty Officer in my company that if I (the Commander mentioned me by name) did not clean the "bright work" (shiny metal surfaces) then the company would not pass his inspection. I was a lowly Seaman (E3) and had met this man at the base my father had retired from.
I was in the military at let me tell you that if you are EVER ordered to the (I'm guessing) base CO's office, AND in your service uniform you KNOW you had F'd up. Honestly it sends shivers down my spine just imagining what went on in the SSGTs mind as he stood tall in front of the 3-star he was trying to hit on. Based off the story, he obviously didn't get off easy and probably got discharged with either Bad Conduct or OTH (if he was lucky).
Stood tall? I'm pretty sure he was trying to shrink out of existence.
😂😂😂😂
Too bad they couldn't outright discharge him, but he would have certainly been disciplined.
Story 4: Now that’s the smartest thing thing to do 👍🏼
Story 1 is so cute: The guy could have learned is lesson in silent - but instead he apologized for not listening. But still trying become "tough guy", he listened carefully to the expert just once, so that next time, he can be the confident guy that gets exactly what he wants, no questions ask.
If you’re going to do a challenge with hot sauce you put yourself in that situation not the staff at the restaurant you don’t need to yell or sue them because it’s a waste of time.
The staff sergeant most likely would have been busted down to Buck private, although a dishonorable discharge is not out of the picture.
Officially, yes. But this in itself could have an impact in the general morale of the troops under her command. The revenge both got the point across and had no impact on the person's honorable service status with the military. I admit it has been a few years and I don't have a desire to look it up, but I think the most rank you can lose is three ranks. A drop to "buck private" as you put it would have also include the dishonorable discharge from service. Although it should be pointed out that any loss in rank pretty much means a end to your carrier. Especially at that level of enlistment rank. When your next reenlistment comes up the military will simply decline the offer.
I have zero idea about how the US military works - I'm not American - but how can you get demoted over what, to me, looks like something that is a private matter that happened "off work", and seems to be an honest mistake to boot (I'm assuming the general was not showing her rank, or that she belonged to the military at all).
The guy was a complete asshole, sure, but I'm legitimately wondering if a demotion would be legal here. I mean, can any officer just demote a subordinate if they "don't like their face"?
@@drsnova7313
They drill into people time and time and time again the idea that sexual harassment is not something to be tolerated. In other words, Zero Tolerance. Like violence. Here's a guy trying to make time with what he assumed was some officers wife. However, he could have been attempting also to intimidate some woman who was of lesser rank than him into granting him sexual favors in return for favors or to prevent receiving punishments.
Rainy days and Dark Fluff videos go perfect together 💕
I was really hoping the pale guy would eat one of those tacos right in front of them to prove a point.
Edit: but they legit asked for extra spicy, so idk why they are mad.
You get called to a Lt. General's office at 07:30 as a SSG with your three immediate superiors you're either A) headed to the brig and the big chicken dinner, or B) going to be a LOT lower rank than a SGG immediately afterwards *just shakes his head* 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂

Keep it goin, keep it goin, keep it goin full speed!!!
I can just imagine the other "dates" that occurred with the staff sergeant after his first date with the general. That was definitely a career-altering date. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hearing “with whom am I speaking” changed to “to whom am I speaking with” was physically painful and made me cringe Fluff Why
I had the same reaction because I had not to end a sentence with a preposition drilled into me as a kid. It does remind me of a Winston Churchill story though where he allegedly said, “Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put!”
The veggies story: when I was a child, my mom used to tell me that eating lots of veggies can help me grow taller, so i ate lots of it & like it very much. However, now I’m in my thirties only 4’11 😂.. well slightly taller than my mom 4’9 😌

"Do you work here?"
This happened today. I work at a grocery store, name opposite of Bottoms. Uniform is a black polo shirt, and kaki pants (or black jeans). Only thing stating the name of the place is a ballcap (one one uses them) and the name tag. Used to be Corporate would give out a specific shirt (one with a red collar), but most didn't like it - and it made one stand out when off the clock, and was annoying if one had to stop at another store in the chain on the way home - this way we just look like a guy in a black shirt and kakis.
Anyways, practically after clocking in, I see my section needs a cart for cardboard, so I head towards the back. Older gentleman steps out of the aisle, and goes, "Excuse me, but, do you work here?"
I look at this fella, and go, "Let's see - I got this hat with the store name, and a nametag that has the store name - Nope! I don't work here."
Old man got to chuckle at this (so did I). Then he went, "Um, where's the milk?"
I pointed him in the right direction.
I told my Assistant Manager (whose sense of humor is hard to find), and he chuckled to, as did most of my co-workers I told the story to. Might be a running gag for a little while.
Not allowing employees to know each other's salary is a common and effective way of abusing employees, so that they can't compare and demand a fair wage.
You know what I've learned over the years? Don't judge a book by its cover. I've met "hard-core bikers" who are really nice guys and I've met innocuous looking people who are dicks. I'm a Marine and you probably couldn't tell by looking at me, it doesn't change the fact though.
Most hardcore looking folk turned out to be nice, in my experience.
Story 2: If this was in the USA, in the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) adultery is literally a violation and punishable!

As a truck driver, my favorite way to make coffee is to take in two used large cups, clean them thoroughly and place each on the grind and brew machines (for those who don't know what a Fresh-brew is.) I set up both ambidextrously and then grab a 44oz cup from the fountain drink area before putting ice just over where the cup flares out. Then, I go back and put just enough cream to be seen below the ice. Add cocoa powder, powdered peanuts and then dump both coffees in. By the time I am finished I have a body temperature Hershey's flavored coffee.
Oh yeah, SSgt got ripped a new one. When he got dressed down by the general she would also have a few choice words for the 1st Sgt & the Commander (who is the head of the squadron that SSgt was assigned to). Trust me, 1st Sgt & Commander (probably a Lt. Col.) would not be happy about being called (and probably embarassed) by the Vice Commander and once back at the squadron they would continue to rip SSgt along with some additional, unpleasant disiplinary action. Being ex USAF I'd bet on it.
They should just Article 15 him and busted him down to private if they don't want a court martial. It is sexual harassment, after all.
At a gas station, in a very small town, and once a year the biker toy run would come through delivering toys to kids for Christmas. Think massive stuffed animals strapped to the back of guys. This was when I was still walking and I'm actually a pretty tall guy, 6'4" and after filling up my van a guy MUCH more massive and taller than me opened the door to the store for me. What was funny, to me anyway, was the huge man with a beard that rivaled my own, in Texas, who responded to my "Thank you" with the most posh English accent I've ever heard. That moment started a long friendship that is still strong 25 years later. Really great guy!

@ 4:06 I used to work civil service. (Other than this was the Air Force, nothing else matches.) One day I was in the office of my flight superintendent. Our squadron commander walked in and we were talking together. (what about does not matter) When he left I looked up at the ceiling and said, "Now there is a guy I have to look up to." My superintendent, who is much shorter than me said "Especially for those of us who are vertically challenged." We both laughed about that and went about our day. Our commander was about 6 feet 5 inches, I'm 5 feet 8 inches, and my superintendent was about 5 feet. I'm retired now, and I don't miss the stress. I do miss the friends I had, both above and below me, and some of the work I used to do.
@ 6:05 I used to work in 8th Air Force. I would regularly meet with 1 star generals and colonels while I was an A1C, so figure just as much distance between ranks. Generally it was just a hello how are you kind of thing unless they came to my work center. They would come in just to do an inspection every once in a while. I never saw anyone get in trouble during the inspections as we did well enough to get an outstanding rating on the official command wide inspections. The ones I had trouble with were spouses who insisted on the same treatment as their husbands rank required. Thankfully, there were only a couple of those, and plenty of witnesses who said I did nothing wrong.
If you didn't know, 3 star general (Second highest right now, or third highest during wartime) is a Lieutenant General.
Which means, don't f**k with them.
Had she probably had the secretary of defense on speed dial...
Just in time for breakfast!! Nothing better than eating while listening to Fluff!!
About the first story...
I have an aunt who like a lot of creamer in her coffee and she often get asked "would you like some coffee in your cream?"
It's just personal preference, after all.
I like a little potato in my butter.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy the style and vocal quality of your narration of these stories! ❤
The soldier trying to pick up the general is funny. As a E4, I tried to do the same thing to my First Sergeant. Only I was smart enough to stop when she firmly said no. I was shocked when she told the story at Monday morning formation, only she didn't say who the soldier was. I still learned my lesson and she was a very good person.
First story: TIM HORTONS, hell yeah. As a canadian anyone who comes to canada has to have Timmies!!!
Lmfao! Trust my Canadian brethren to actually come back and apologize for His mistake lol 😆 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Oh Canada.
Not always.
Story 1: I ordered double cream at Tim Horton's and the girl was so frigging confused, she thought I wanted half cream half coffee. Pre-measured shots shouldn't be confusing.
Guys guys what if, stevo and fluff are something like Jekyll and Hyde and both are like the same person on different times, like split personality but that's just a theory a game theory.
Don’t think that’s a game theory. More of a conspiracy theory.
I have a theory that Fluff is Probbz (a dead by daylight channel). Seriously, go check it out lol.
@@kranberry3318 put your tinfoil hat and begin brainstorming Mr/Ms!
That general story hits me a little close to home, because back when I was in the military (it's in Singapore, where conscription is practiced), I actually bumped into my unit commander on separate occasions. Once while I was a trainee for my vocation, and later on, when I was actually posted to my unit. Both times, my then-unit commanders were in civilian clothing. I can't share it for obvious confidential reasons, but luckily for me, both were pretty nice people and were willing to help me out (I was sort of lost on both occasions).
Long story short: always be courteous to whoever you meet, cause it may end up in an awkward situation later on.
I remember when I was in basic training and the father of a buddy of mine happened to visit the barracks. I was a private ("Flieger" in German Air Force), he was a Lt. Col. ("Oberstleutnant" in Germany, he was also army) requesting to meet with me... you should have seen the faces... ;-))
Regarding the "coffee" story, the short answer is that YES, there are people who drink that. It's called "leche caliente" and is popular in Mexico as a children's drink. It's just milk and sugar, warmed up; basically hot chocolate without the chocolate.
Well that’s a little better then the practically straight cream.
Good job to the dad on teaching his kids the importance of veggies.
Second story, omg I needed more!!! Why did it end there?! I need the deets!! NOOOOOO!!!!😱
My story of revenge on the picky eater. I was the parent at home while my wife worked. I made all the meals and think it's fair to say I was a far better cook than she was. Middle boy was a piece of work when he was a toddler - tantrum king and picky eater. "I won't eat that, there's vegavles in that" (that's how he said it). I quickly realized that the food processor can be your best friend as what they can't see.... One thing I would do every so often was make a huge batch of potato pancakes, adding pureed onion and cabbage. Kids loved them. One day for supper I had these done and a batch of pork ribs ready to put on the BBQ. As was my habit, I had a sink full of soapy water and was washing the cooking stuff as I went. Now middle boy was adamant about having BBQ sauce on everything, which should have been no problem given the menu. When I handed the plates around the table he threw a fit, and demanded his ribs with no BBQ sauce. I just whisked his plate away, went to the sink (which he couldn't see from the table), dropped the ribs in the soapy dishwater, scoured the BBQ sauce off with the pot scrubbing brush, rinsed them off, wiped the bits of sauce from the plate and returned to the table. "You're in luck," I said, "there was just one serving without sauce!" "Thanks, Dad," he said. I watched him scarf down the meal, all the time thinking, "I finally got you, you little bastard." He was about 7 or 8 when this happened, and I told him the story when he was 16ish. He was outraged, and demanded to know how I could have done such a thing. My response was, "To save your life."
You sound like a great parent, at least compared to the people in Fluff's videos.
I swear, creeps think no means anything BUT NO
To be a fly on the wall for that ‘date’. 😂🤣😂
Ok! I seriously love Steveo more now! Brilliant, positively brilliant! 🥇
16:24 This is constructive dismissal, and she could get into heaps of legal trouble for it if the OP garnered enough evidence.
Love the MC stories!🤣🤣🤣
Second story, the harasser is definitely cleaning latrines for at least a few weeks
Plus peeling potatoes and washing dishes.
That actually isnt considered harrassment....its considered adultery and is a criminal offense in the military
@@bluemeanie9554 I've never been in the military but can't adultery get you locked up at Leavenworth?
3:50 oh, it is! I used to drink my coffee that way, before I switched to black during my health kick. I haven’t drunk it any other way since, and when someone tried to make me coffee with that 12-12, I took a sip and choked on it.
Story 4 - Soup: When I was young our divorced grandmother lived with our family and did most of the cooking. We had a large garden with vegetables so vegetable soup was an often-had dish. I liked the taste but there was always a layer of molten fat on top. One day I asked her to cook the soup without the fat because fat was disgusting. -And she did.
The next soup had all the ingredients but the fat. But it tasted like numb feet. When I asked her to put the fat into the soup again in the future she just smiled and nodded.
One of the things I love about this channel are the commercials I get. Especially this one that is basically a tree service with SAIL playing in the background. 3 min without political, get rich quick,or false advertising for a spa service. 🙄Let alone 40 min of any one advertisement. Ahhhh a great time with y'all followed by 3 min of sweet stress relief. I don't know what magic this is but I appreciate it!🙌🖤💜🖤🙌💕
just in time, come claim your "here within 2 hours" pass
I wish all affairs got exposed this way.
Yeah that general/ssgt anecedote...Im gonna call sheninigans on that one!
I feel a little called out about the coffee 😳
That’s kind of how I drink mine 😅
All cream and sugar with a splash of coffee 😂
Last story, about salary structure, is also how it is in my country. It's confidential; asking and/or revealing is illegal except for HR and payroll. Even they are only allowed to know but not to reveal to anyone else.
All very entertaining stories. ❤
Op from 1st story Darren from the coffee shop might not have stuttered but when he tried his coffee I bet he spluttered 😂🤣😂
Story 3: G1 and G2: wE'lL sUe!! Judge: You signed the waiver, you get no favors. *tosses case out* OP in Spanish: Next time I'll add ketchup. That way your fragile widdle egos wont get burned again... stupids.
Story 5 About Veggies... Invest in a Vitamix with the soup setting. I guarantee you should never have a problem getting the kids to eat veggies. Makes the most amazing soups and sauces.
Story #3 reminds me of my own episode at Iguana Mia in Bonita Springs many years ago. I was alone for lunch, and they brought the chips and salsa. I forget what I ordered, but asked for a salsa that was "a little more challenging." Honestly, I was being polite! What they brought out was liquid volcano. And the staff was all peering at me from the kitchen. I forged thru the meal, unashamedly drinking gallons of water, and was more careful about how I ordered in the future. At the time I saw the humor in it all, and still chuckle about it today.
Story #3-Nuclear Challenge… I went to a Mexican Restaurant. This was a family operation, Dad cooked and Mom and her daughters took orders. One afternoon Mom and Dad were gone and the daughters were running the place. I ordered a burrito “with lots of hot sauce.” The girl gave me a look, ya want hot sauce??? She complied-and it was righteous! I was breathing fire for the next couple of hours! The next afternoon I returned. I guess the girls told their Mom what they did to me. (I’m Anglo with fair complexion and red hair-back then). Mom shrieked; “Not for you! Not for you!” (Gave me only the usual dose of salsa for Gringos).
The customers in the Taco story were blatantly racist.
Also, the wife probably cheated more than 16 times. By affair, I think they meant with 16 different people.
I was half-expecting the biker to come back and throw a tantrum
I know when I was growing up my mom would tell my brother and I that "ok, guess you're not hungry" whenever we got picky about food
Regarding the first story:
I thought for certain that this offering was gonna go in a completely different direction. So glad it didn't. 👍👍
Once you watch Fluff, you can't get enough!😂😂😂
We love Stevo because he deserves better! 😂🧡
