I work at Walmart, I've been working here for 3 years now "my first job". After a year I was stuck in break packs, boxes filled with random items that you have to sort into totes. After a while me and another guy found a faster method to get thr job done faster " by using the Breakpack boxes instead of the totes" it worked great for almost 2 years... until now, they want me to do "Walmart one best way" method. It F****** sucks and slow, extra work that benefits absolutely nothing, and no matter what I say they retaliate saying " it's not part of the one best way" so now everytime i come to work and do break packs, I am always livid... I need to find another job fast
@@skeeter.1017 same when I was in maintenance the recieving manager wanted me to do a bale a roundabout way and when I would do it normally he would say "you love doing it the hard way huh"
I just watched a recent TH-cam video about this! A narcissistic trait, manipulating the target to a position where they don't know what the "right answer" is as you are essentially damned if you do, and damned if you don't. A double bind. th-cam.com/video/vnSiJOOdo30/w-d-xo.html
At my high school, you weren’t allowed to show collarbones (if you were a girl, for guys it was fine). So all shirts had to be up above the collarbone. My friends and I would make a point of exposing our collarbones to one another around staff and then dramatically swooning. It didn’t change anything, but we got some good laughs out of the annoyed looks from the staff.
"for guys it was fine" says like it's some sort of injustice. Men and boys shirts do not show collarbones. We're not out here with scoop or boat neck shirts. That's like saying "our dresses couldn't be too short but guys it's fine" When I went to school boys weren't allowed to wear dresses and skirts but girls it was fine. Seriously though when I was in grade school boys had to take off their hats but girls were allowed to wear hats because as my 2nd grade teacher said "It's part of their dress".
@@genseven4616 actually, I said it like that because a bunch of guys in my school would wear v-necks and button downs that weren’t buttoned all the way up to the collar. Guys were allowed to wear them and girls weren’t. And also, out of curiosity a guy wore a skirt to school one day that was above dress code length to see if he would get into trouble. He didn’t. So we had guys wearing traditionally female clothing all the time with no repercussions and the girls practically had to wear men’s clothing to stay in dress code.
My school hated shoulder exposure. They were the type of school that blamed my sister for getting sexually harassed on her to put perspective on how they were. I guess it was some weird dress code. Also made all of us were onesies on pajama day cause of the dress code for that day.
@@genseven4616 Yes, inequality is a form of injustice. To punish one person but not another solely on the basis of their sex or gender is unjust. The only reason these dress codes exist is because of made up rules from the past that people are too irrational to let go of. People assume that because something has been around for a long time, it must have a good reason. When that is not the case at all. The reason was made up and not grounded in any sort of effect on human wellbeing.
@@yoyohayli I mean dress codes in some sense are necessary provided we're fitting within societies standards of decency. They just get weirdly pedantic and inappropriate.
I believe there was one where a college girl who was giving a presentation was told her skirt was too short & did the rest of her presentation in her underwear 😂
The dress code for my school is so stupid, I got tired wearing blue everday! Okay so, I'm in middle school and they just added 5th graders(for some reason:/) and it sucks. So the school decided to make some changes and decide to change the dress code through 5th-8th graders (I'm in 8th grade btw) So here's the list of the dress code: 5th: ONLY wear white shirts 6th: ONLY wear black shirts 7th: ONLY wear gray shirts 8th: ONLY wear blue shirts That's the dress code and I think it's stupid!
The story about the Chicken pox is even mote Ironic in a Present COVID Day world. Guarantee no ones being told to show up for exams in that school any time soon XD
True story. Happened back in the 1990s. I wasn't felling well so I went to the college's student health care center. They checked me out and told me I had the mumps. Which is very contagious. So I asked if I would be given a doctor's note to cover my absence while I was in quarantine. The nurse just looked at me like I was crazy. Quarantine for mumps? She just waved me away and said it just something going around and to continue going to classes. Which I did. To this day, I suspect that places didn't want to report outbreaks like this because the CDC would probably had shut them down for a few weeks while it ran its course. I have no idea how many college students ended up with Mumps but it wasn't like we were asked to put on masks or even keep social distancing. We were told just to continue as if it was a normal day.
*Alternate ending to your joke scenario after the first story* Manager: You're not allowed to watch that in the office. Karen: I know, I've been bad. You should punish me~ Manager: Oh, you wanna be punished? Ok. Pack your stuff. You're fired.
damn, that first story just has me laughing hysterically. It reminds me when politicians got caught watching porn in India, and there was a huge ethical discussion. Literally, the people who were banning porn sites in our country, were the ones watching em, and to top it off, every1 was asking these politicians on twitter, which VPN they used? which sites to visit? It was hilarious.
I can relate to the asthma one.. I have a condition called Multi-Directional Instability and my shoulder was subfluxing like MAD! I told my boss that I should probably go to the hospital before it gets worse. My boss firmly stated that their is Noone to cover for me and if I left I would be fired... So i stayed and my shoulder dislocated. My boss once again told me to suck it up and finish my shift... After my shift I called an ambulance and they took 45mins to get to me.. By the time I got to the busy hospital and they relocated my shoulder it had been 11 hours! The muscles in my shoulder kept pulling the joint backwards into dislocation station. So, instead of letting me go home early to fix my shoulder my boss had to pay me for sick leave AND got fined for endangering her staff. Take that ya bitch...
I've got a walmart r/maliciouscompliance story for you. So, a bit of background on me. I'm a minority with bleached blonde hair, and piercings on my upper ear. I'm a bit of a nerd, so I made it a habit of reading through EVERYTHING that was given to employees, and highlighting/underlining any loopholes I noticed. Back when the dress code was more strict, it said you can't have brightly colored hair. But it also said natural hair colors were acceptable, so the blonde got to stay. They originally didn't like the piercings I had on my upper ear until I reminded them that females are allowed 2, 3mm ball earings, and the handbook never specifies where, or limits how many per ear. My last bit, I didn't think I would get away with. I was in the middle of laundry, so I didnt have a white or blue collared shirt. I grabbed my gray collared one instead, knowing my apron and counter would hide mostly everything (I was a cake decorator). Sure enough though, a manager (M) noticed. M: wait a minute, what shirt do you have on? Me: (playing dumb) It's supposed to be a collared shirt. Right? M: (not taking my shit) you already know its blue or white Me: Its dark white M: ..... Me: ..... M: (walks away from me laughing hysterically. Nothing further is said about my shirt)
This might genuinely be the best subreddit there is. Laugh at stupid people, smile at the revenge by doing exactly as they ask, and get the occasional happy ending. It's got everything we need!
This reminded me of a quote by Malcolm Gladwell: “People say a man of principles is a strong man, but a truly strong man knows when to put their principles aside, and take things at a case-by-case basis.”
When i was in high school a friend of mine was forced to change HIS shirtbecause there was a rule in the dress code stating straps had to be more than an inch wide, he was wearing our schools basketball jersey since he had a game that day....
School: heres the sports shirt! Students: ok cool! (Buys it and wears it to game) School: wtf r u wearing. Thats against the rules. Students: but... This is ur shirt... For ur game... At ur- School: DETENTION FOR U DELINQUENTS! Students: -_-
I went to a private christian school in high school. Girls constantly got sent home because the uniform skirts the school required them to purchase were shorter than the "2 inches below the bottom of the knee" rule. The skirts rode about mid knee on most of the girls, up to slightly above the knee on taller girls. Needless to say the parents got extremely irate and often the tallest girls in my class would transfer out after getting suspended for wearing the correct dress code items, From the specific supplier that the school required us to purchase them from. Two girls got expelled from their senior year for wearing skirts that had extra fabric sewn on to lengthen them to dress code standards. The public school no shoulder thing might be dumb, but it is a rule which can be easily complied with. Edit: edited rant for brevity
Ooooo, I Loved that Walmart story near the end, I used to work at one myself and hated it. That's still a rule and will always be one since the higher-ups are too dumb to think straight. "Let's Make rules that employees need other employees to the job, and for our next rule, Let's under staff our stores so we can save money and as a bonus rule the management can sit in the office all day talking about there weekend plans and get mad if they have to work. We am so Smrt, I mean Smart." Note: Even when there was staff to fully staff a store, the COMPUTER, not a Human, would never staff the store fully. I fell bad for the late Sam Walton that this is what is company has become.
17:48 "If you want to maliciously comply, then hit that like button." I hit the like button quite near the start of the video, so if I hit it again, it will unlike the video. But still, if you insist…
I guess one plus about our uniforms are that we don't have have to wear ties and suits. Only the prefects/leaders wear ties and suits. I believe our uniform designs are designed around the hot and dry weather. We usually have practical uniforms. Depending on the school, you can usually get away with wearing only the school colours, as long as the attire is appropriate enough. I should be thankful that the high school I attended wasn't full of jerkbags, but then again, I was purposely ignorant. My school experience has also defined who I am as a person. For example, I love to be the lone wolf, the maverick. School is a long story, but I survived. (Speaking of which, the biggest insult I got from school was my graduation cert. All it said to me was "Congratulations, you survived. Have fun being at a disadvantage!" School is shit in Australia. The conditions are absolutely atrocious. And yet our ruling political party is running Australia to the ground. Fuck the rich.)
The dedication of the Walmart story is incredible. The fact that this guy has been watching a spill for over 2 hours of their shift only to use their break and avoid doing work but still following all rules it pure satisfaction
"...What dude out there goes to Pornhub and types in "hot naked shoulders?"" Probably the lady from the first story. Also, me, but only because I'm curious.
We found a picture of a woman in a bathtub in our Spanish book. All that was shown was her head, soapy hand, and one shoulder. Knowing this teacher to be particularly prude about girls' dress code, the class clown immediately stops class by saying, "Whoa, look at that shoulder!" I was normally not a fan of his act, but I chuckled. Or teacher was just so... exasperated.
God I totally feel that story about retail managers being moronic about illnesses. I'm a cashier at a high end sports store, and management recently told us to not call out sick for the next few months. Ya know, flu season. All the cashiers have been sick as hell and getting each other sick since we can't really call out sick. So I'm currently waiting to get the flu and to show up to work sick as fuck just yo show them how moronic an idea this is. Like, yea it's holiday season and slightly busy, but seriously I've been battling this damn cold for three weeks because every weekend I have to speak for hours straight and deal with angry people. Sooooo smart
own story, illness at work: So this was back when I was with the job centre (worst time of my life) and they forced me to work 3 hours travel from home at a call centre. Bit of back story, at the interview they told us that due to the hours worked there was recreational area on the lower floor to socialise. as the hours are long we were expected have our social life enveloped in work and ONLY work. obviously I didn't like this, but at the job centre you can not refuse Dx. So I had a week long 'training on the job" to complete, was in 2 days when the 3rd (Wednesday) I was incredible sick, can't remember what, but couldn't even leave the house. Anyway, I go in the next day (obviously i'd left them a message) to be called in by the manger. who i'll kid you not, did his best impression of the mastermind villain in Austin powers (don't judge, only saw watched once). anyway, he calls me into the board room sitting like that and says. "So.….. what happened yesterday?" "erm, I was ill and couldn't leave the house" "does this happen often?" me looking puzzled: "erm no?.... i'm usually quite resilient and haven't been ill in nearly 4 years!" "Good, in that case I don't want to hear that you can't arrive again, I will let it slid just this once" obviously feeling rather shocked and confused I walked out of the room and rejoined the "training". by the end of the day I had told the others who started with me that I would not be coming back and not to tell the manger, after all he 'did not want to hear it'. Before leaving I had one last chat with those guys and said, "you know I don't know what I expected.... I mean at the interview I told the interviewer that I can speak French, Spanish and german and she starts speaking in another language, to which I replied...…. "erm.... sorry I don't know that one. and then to still be given the job?!?!? yeah...…" Hope you guys enjoyed that one
The last one feels like such a cliffhanger, I am honestly SUPER curious how she reacted when she got home (I like to imagine they had it towed, even though that wouldn't happen)
In the original post, OP says the mom comes home later and finds out the cement truck wasn't able to pour the cement. She gets mad then tells OP they are a horrible brat for wasting her money since the cement in the truck couldn't be used. At least thats what I remember from reading the post on Reddit.
TheFiretiger27 can confirm. Concrete is paid for before delivery because it will kick off in a few hours and be useless, so if you aren’t ready for the truck to unload they’ll take it back to the depot and dump it. You still want your concrete? Buy another load.
Well, she isn't wrong... OP made a dick move on the mom... However she also made a dick move on him... I can see how bad must be the relationship of those two :\ The bad thing is, mother probably had her heart in the right place... those medical trials can be bad... because, you know, they are testing drugs... However "stealing" son's car wasn't the best way to deal with the issue...
@@k4zum4s4m4 if the mother's heart was in the right place she would have given her kid money so they wouldn't have had to do the medical trail. She was just being a grunt.
I love it that when OP makes spelling mistakes you just pronounce them correctly but when theres a picture of an entitled person's whatsapp you pronounce it exactly how they spelled it xD
@@imAbyssal it's not bs, it's implication and dialectical projection (using language that fits the character you assume they have). They deserve it usually.
Not just HS. Earlier this year a 5yr old in Minnesota was sent home for having bare shoulders. She was sent to school wearing an adorable dress her grandma got her, denim jeans underneath, and a cute little button-up sweater in case she got cold. Her mom flipped the fuck out, justified, and forced the school to change the policy because she correctly argued that it sexualized children and their bodies which was absolutely reprehensible. This is the argument we need to give for every case because this shit has gotten outta hand.
Mt dad did that with my baby sister. My adorable baby sister with a spaghetti strap dress in hot and humid Missouri. She gets a call home, and who comes back? Her story and peppy mom? Naaaaaaah. ... they didn't argue after that. On the same breath, my dad also went to the school demanding to know why we were being taught about global warming. Oh, or in middle school where my sister got dress coded constantly. I swear it's because the school wanted attention. She once got dress -copious while wearing a baggy coat and pants down past her knees. Why? The straps that connected the pants to her ankles were holes. :///////////
@@CabeliotCometier their argument is always distracting boys but I mean TEACH THE FUCKING BOYS NOT TO BE DICKS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE COOL!! She was five and the nurse forced a t-shirt on her. She came home crying. Her mom wouldn't stop telling until the superintendent changed the policy. This needs to happen (this change) everywhere and at every level because the policing of (*biologically) female bodies has to end. (* I said this to include trans and non binary kids and persons.)
I was forbidden to have shoulders in sight at my last workplace (a sucky pay-per-hours office building / call center) because "it's unprofessional!!!!" while my boss and her toyboy, who she has hired and earned more than twice my pay doing absolutely nothing, behaved like lovesick teenagers at the main reception. The woman was well over 40 and routinely showed up in sweatpants
I love the puddle guarding story. It reminds me of the lockup keys incident I had while working at Walmart. I ended up full time in the stock room, but when I started I was a part timer in garden/seasonal, which at the time was right next to Toys and Sports, both of which have locked showcases. As an adult rather than a teen, with no Monday-Friday all day class schedule, I often had full timer type shifts during the day, and was often asked to sign out the Toys and/or Sports key to cover between shifts. One day an assistant manager sent me to cover the cosmetics counter for the remainder of my shift, go straight there now, here's the perfume cabinet key (Lord did I hate it when they asked for that. I don't wear makeup. I don't know how to answer anyone's questions.) This meant I had to give up the Toys & Sports keys, since I wouldn't be able to leave the cosmetics counter to unlock the cases. My direct manager, the Seasonal department head, was just starting anyway, so he took them from me and said he'd go put them under his name. He didn't. Something happened, he got distracted, never put his name in the key log. He turned them in later, and some teenager working in Toys took them from the box without signing the key log either. THAT kid didn't return them. He left them on top of the Toys showcase, but we didn't know that at the time. Guess who got reamed out because their's was the last name in the key log. Guess who refused to sign out keys for departments that weren't my own after that. Guess who was passed the spare Toys department key to cover someone's 15 minute break much later, was never asked for it back, and then forgot it was in my pocket, and then when I discovered it there I thought "Hm, it's the spare set, and my name's not attached to it... yeah, I'm gonna hold onto this for a month and then leave it in the employee bathroom."
When small puddles are treated like landmines you know you're in America 🤦♂️ Sure, i get the idea that a customer could slip and sue, but this "procedure" is just ridiculous.
Quite a few companies don't want employees making their own decisions. They would rather have employees that blindly follow orders than employees that can adapt to changing situations. So you end up with some really stupid rules, and the upper management gets angry when their rules don't work flawlessly. It doesn't make sense. Maybe it's an ego thing?
I had this wonderful idea while listening to this story. When this kind of stuff happens, why can't employees have a sort of marker for puddles until someone can clean up the spill/mess they find during their shift? Everyone gets basically a set of little flags with essentially a tripod base that you deploy and just drop right at the spot for either whoever is in charge of cleaning or until you come back to get it. Everyone clearly sees the flag even though it's small, because who doesn't notice a bright orange thing sitting on the floor? The flags get picked up as they go and spares just get placed in a bin somewhere so everyone has a few at all times. Boom, problems solved and someone could probably market that. I applaud you if you read all that.
@@richyofthevillagers To be honest that sounds cool and all, but I used to be an employee at Walmart and I already had a hard time keeping track of my current equipment. Not to mention I would not have space in my pockets for this. I'm not sure how well it would work in practice with people bending and moving. Plus it would have to be relatively big as people are quite oblivious would would further complicate things.
I worked at Walmart for 7 months and while I didn’t have a sh*tty manager I can totally understand this man’s chaotic glee from standing at a spill. I commend him for staying put for so long. Very impressive. Takes a real level of spite to do that.
When I was in primary school/elementary school I went to school started to feel really sick so I told the teacher but she says leave it and to see if I feel better later not even 10 minutes later I threw up in the middle of class so tell my teacher but she says the same thing even though she can see the pile of puke all over the carpet
This is my malicious compliance. At my school apparently you can have a shirt "too long" I got stopped in the hall on my way back to class (I went and got a drink) it was of course the ISS teacher. "Come with me, your shirt is too long" I followed and when we got to the ISS room she started writing me up. "So, my shirt is too long?" "Yes, it is!" I smiled and grabbed her scissors and cut my shirt so it was within dress code. "There we go!" I dropped the fabric of my shirt on her desk, put the scissors back, and walked away with a smile. I went to class and told them but was called into ISS and had 2 full days in there. Totally worth it!
@@imperfectmind8846People "these days"? Who's making these rules where you live? It's most likely people on the other side of 50. It's really not people "these days" it's the older generation putting that undo burden on young people, probably because they are jealous that they are closer to their death than their youth.
That sounds like something a girl in my homegroup did, only difference is she got suspended for ‘destruction of school property’ because apparently the over expensive school uniform we had to buy and wear was still theirs. Gotta love Australia, the land of hypocrites.
When my daughter got shingles in 2nd grade and had to miss a lot of school ,I called the school to get her miss work, and told receptionist I better not get a summons to court because of her absence , she said you might real snobby, and said, then I’ll send her to school contagious,( wouldn’t have), then she yelled YOU BETTER NOT, I never got a summons
I've got a similar one to the test taking story, except it wasn't an illness: I had been hit by a car on the way to the final exam. Long story short: Hard-ass professor with zero-tolerance rule blocking students from taking tests if they are more than 5 minutes late. I get hit (car drove off, never got caught) while walking to class, stand up and limp my way to the exam (in my dazed/shocked state, the test was all important). I am 15 minutes late. He smugly refuses to let me take the test, saying he has heard all the excuses that college students can come up with. That is, until he sees the trickle of blood down my arm, dripping onto the floor and leaving a trail on the walking path further than can be seen. I am allowed to take the test the next week and got an A, and a small apology note.
In high school, I was wearing leggings and a flannel. Every inch of my skin was covered aside from my hands, face, and ankles. They still sent me home. 🙄
When I was at school we had uniforms but are last year could wear anything, one of my friends was wearing a cami top, she got told off "It's distracting the boys" are teacher said, at that moment I've never seen so many girls pissed off, It's like teach the boys to control themselves, and not blame the girl from wearing what she want
Yes, girls shouldn't go to school naked, but neither should boys. Victim blaming girls not only teaches them the wrong thing, but teaches boys that they don't need to control themselves. Anything wrong they do is the girl's fault.
Believe it or not. Not every guy is that bad where if someone is wearing a tank-top they're just distracted that almost never happens. if anything it's mostly the girls cuz they're too distracted talking about how they're wearing the tank top. it's not always the guys fault Edit: so some girls got dress coded to day for wearing short skirts like really short and went on a tirade about how it's the guys fault, but she spent 1 hour talking about how she loved wearing it, disturbing the class. But yeah totally our fault. 😶
TBH usually the "iT's DiStrAcTiNg ThE bOyS" BS is just that, BS. They're just afraid of a lawsuit. So it's less "teach the boys to control themselves" and more "teach the school admins to not bend to the will of the first Karen that threatens to sue.
When I was in middle school, there was an administrator(who still works there) who, at least us girls, think he's a pedophile. Some girls say he's caught him looking at girls butts, and has had some girls who get dress coded put the gym uniforms on in his office(he wasn't in the room). But that's just what some people think, not everybody. They were strict on shoulders so we had this joke where'd we show our shoulder and then friends would go: AHHH MY EYES!!! Or my sister and I go: OOoOOo I'm So DiStRaCtEd!!! High school is less strict for me I would say.
I am 35 and when I was in high school, we were NOT allowed to wear "spaghetti-strap shirts" or any shirt that showed our shoulders. The dress codes for girls and women have always been incredibly ridiculous.
I’m my high school, (I graduated 2018) even the dudes couldn’t wear anything with less sleeve than a T-shirt. They also couldn’t wear shorts during the winter. Girls couldn’t wear tank tops with a cardigan if you could tell it was a tank top, no crop tops, no shorts that didn’t reach your fingertips, and no yoga pants (leggings were fine). They allowed the cheerleaders and athletes to ignore all of those rules. I ended up leaving for the near by technical school and do not regret it.
In my high school, one of the board members at the time had the largest stick wedged up her ass and she would yell, rant, and rave to enforce the dumbest clothing policies the school still had because everyone just ignored the policy because there were never any issues. Fast forward to her throwing a shitfit at my sister for wearing a short skirt with leggings one day. Afterwards, I looked through the policy and found there was no rules on menswear that pertained to kilts or shirts. So, I got me a kilt and showed up to school the next day wedged stick bitch was planning to roam the school in just a kilt, socks, and boots. Six feet of overweight caucasian man titties hanging out in the breeze as we're in PE. I made damn sure the bitch got full view of my sweaty body. The chafing the next day was worth it to put her in her place.
My school had the shoulder rule and when asked about it they said it was not that the shoulders were distracting, but that the rule was to "prevent us from getting sun burnt" which would be a good excuse if the rule wasn't just for girls. boys could where whatever they want.
Yeah, shoulders are a no go in our school. So my friends and I make it into a joke. We'll just randomly uncover our shoulders and another friend will yell out "Cover your shoulders, you're gonna get pregnant!" As another friend proceeds to touch their shoulder and says oh wow those are some sexy shoulders in the most sarcastic voice imaginable in front of teachers and everyone lol. The looks that we get make the entire thing completely worth looking like idiots.
Not me, more like my body maliciously complying. I remember applying for help with disability issues. Several interviewers and letters told me I “wasn’t disabled enough” because I look fine. I have epilepsy, and in the middle of an interview I had a rather bad seizure, they looked at me in shock and realised they were wrong!
Person: I can’t come to work, I’m sick Manager: it’s probably just a cough. You’re okay. Person: I’ve got the measles. Manager: shouldn’t you be v- Person: I’m allergic to the vaccine
Vaccines don’t work if you are allergic to the ingredients or have a compromised immune system. The immune system needs to be healthy for a vaccine to do its job correctly.
@@alexanderpeters1018 there’s a huge difference between being unable to get a vaccine and refusing it outright…the antivaxxers aren’t allergic or immunocompromised, they’re just smug ignorant idiots
In high School now, you can't show shoulders, you cant wear any kind of hat or have a hood on. If you're wearing shorts they have to go below your knees, and newly implemented my senior year, you can't hug anyone for any reason ever!
The shoulders thing is sort of a joke in my friend group. As in, one day I came in to my college (dress code is Wear Clothing, essentially, so rules-wise it didn't matter) wearing a new sweater shirt which was a bit loose on me, long-sleeved and hung a bit past my hips, but the thing that got the group talking and calling it scandalous was,,, It was shoulderless.
School: "I don't care what illness you have. You must take the test or flunk." Student: *with black plague* "I'll be there." Class: *everyone dies* School: *surprised Pikachu face*
The bronchial infection reminded me of quite a few scenarios I had been through. I did have a rough year long bout with bronchitis and pneumonia. However, this story reminds me more of my kidney infection. I was in between jobs, so in was working two full time jobs at once, both were incredibly demanding. Instantly, I could tell something was wrong with my body. I was dealing with intense pain, excessive bladder, and an electrolyte imbalance. I immediately let my managers know something was wrong. I was still a better worker than half of my colleagues but that was not enough for my bosses. When I started throwing up constantly and had excessive dizzy spells, I started increasing my trips to the Dr's and informing my bosses of everything my drs said, letting them know that my body was shutting down. They didn't believe me. Before all this happened, I never called out of work or used vacation time. I would even come in on my days off. But, I was at the point that I could barely move, let alone eat. I had developed intense seizures and would seizure 50-100 times a day. I was a bit luckier if it was 50. Eventually, my doctor forced a hospital to reserve a bed for me to get many major tests done. He was afraid that if I had went home, they would find me dead. It was all very sudden and I had non time to prepare. I had a kidney infection that turned into a severe UTI and was shutting down my entire digestive system, and all other facets closely connected to it. I had been in the hospital for 3 weeks, with no phone. The very day I had gotten out, better than when I went in but still unable to to put much pressure on my body, I went straight to my job to find a less demanding job. It turns out that my managers had fired me after one of my 3 trips to the hospital for job abandonment. The HR representative was livid, stating that the managers should have immediately came to her about the situation before firing me when their company had continually pushed the most laborious jobs on me when all I had asked was to be allowed to move a bit slower than I usually did (which was still much faster than half of the employees there). Long story short, I didn't go back. I'm still considerably sick. But, their company lost a dedicated employee because they didn't want to believe I was dying.
A friend of mine used to work in a popular US clothing department store. She caught norovirus (aka the winter vomiting bug). If you haven't had this particular form of stomach upset (not stomach flu - influenza doesn't cause gastroenteritis) I will just say that it's pretty much the most intense viral gastroenteritis you can get. The symptoms come on insanely fast and sometimes within 12 hours of exposure. People have been known to start projectile vomiting with almost no warning. It's then often later accompanied by explosive diarrhoea too. It's also one of the most contagious forms of viral gastro. It can spread through the air via droplets, on surfaces and by person to person contact. You can be contagious BEFORE the symptoms start (unlike most viral stomach upsets) and for at least 2 days after symptoms stop - but maybe for weeks afterwards. The virus isn't destroyed by hand sanitiser or most disinfectants. The only thing that really works is bleach solutions. It can survive for many weeks in the environment, especially if it's damp. You don't have to even be directly exposed to someone who is sick to get ill. And while it takes less than 20 virus particles (and in some cases only a quarter of that) to make you sick, there are hundreds of millions, even billions in every ml of infected body fluids. A woman once vomited in a restaurant. Over a hundred other visitors and staff got sick within several days as a result, and they found that they could map where people were sitting in the restaurant based on how quickly they became ill. This is the virus that shuts down schools, daycares, hospitals, nursing homes and cruise ships. If you're lucky, you spend three days of absolute misery and then a week feeling like a limp rag... if you're not, you end up in the hospital on an IV or worse. My friend's boss refused to accept that she was too sick to work. He insisted that she came into work or he would fire her because someone else had already called in sick and the manager didn't want to have to stay late to cover at the end of his shift. She made her way in, stopping to vomit along the way. She was in the store less than ten minutes before vomiting profusely into the trash can. She continued to vomit into the trash can all the way across the store on her way into the backroom before finally going home, via urgent care. Within 36 hours, the store was short-staffed because everyone else, including the manager, was sick. Within 3 days, it had to be closed to be thoroughly deep cleaned, because enough of the customers had called to complain after getting sick (those who had witnessed my friend getting sick) and God knows how much stock would have had to be trashed. When my friend quit when it became clear that they were going to discipline her and the manager was going to throw her under the bus. What an asshole.
When OP said employers need to take illnesses seriously, it reminded me of my stint at Wal-Mart. I had some issues with my kidneys and my body was starting to shutdown. I was constantly going to the dr, with no answers on what was happening but they all agreed I was overworked. I told Wal-Mart this. They didn't care. They would demand I go faster to get my 2-3 areas finished so I could help others, regardless of the fact that I was one of their fastest and more thorough stockers. Well big surprise, my body gave out and I was hospitalized. I had developed seizures and constant kidney pain. I don't work there anymore.
My manager tried to make me come into work when I had pneumonia and c diff and was quarantined. That combination is EXTREMELY fatal in children and elderly and I worked at an URGENT CARE where all we saw were elderly people and kids. My doctor was NOT impressed

As someone with a compromised immune system, I think anyone who forces staff to work while sick should be deliberately infected with something really horrific. It's the only way they'll learn! Likewise the martyrs who crawl in on their hands and knees with snot dribbling down their chin.
I'm the same, and I had times that bosses kept me working in the kitchen while I was throwing up in the garbage, next to the grill. They didn't give a fuck at all about anyone.
LOVE your channel.... My daughters school has a rule that their pants (boys and girls) “can’t conform to their calf’s as this is distracting”....now, the school joke is, “oooooo I can see the shape of your calf’s!! I’m SOOOOO distracted!! LOL” Ridiculous
6:12 - Just want to say I've had bronchitis several times and any manager that would make an employee with DOCTOR VERIFIED EVIDENCE that he has bronchitis, work their shift still, is an asshat of unmitigated proportions that should be fired and never manage another human being so long as they live. Expecting anyone to work in that condition is unconscionable.
I was a supervisor at my old job, and I was working with the assistant manager (who claims she runs the store) that no one in the business really liked. This manager always complains how we don't do our job and how we never 'follow health code'. Anyway one day my coworker was feeling really sick, but it was common for people to fake illnesses at my job (You could usually smell the weed or alcohol on them when they were 'sick') But this time it was obvious that they weren't faking it, they were just sick. Regardless the manager made her stay and I didn't intervene because I didn't wanna cross paths with this manager. A few minutes later the employee *throws up* and tells me. I can see in their face they need to go home, and health code says they have to if they threw up. So I tell the manager. Me: "Hey, Employee just threw up, should she go home?" Manager: "Ok, well she can sit down for 5 minutes and get back to work." So I told her to sit down for a bit, and I texted the head manager, who said that she had to go home. This is a small business so there were only the three of us working and one other employee, who was related to the head manager, and already knew what was going on. As soon as the manager went to tell her she had to work, even though the employee was having trouble standing at this point, I interrupted and said that health code says she had to go. The manager got pissed at me because 'I went above her' and 'I should have said that in private'. Remember, everyone already knew what was happening. She also said bullshit about how she knows health code and that I lied. Anyway she got to go home.
At my middle school, there was a rule that you couldn’t show shoulders and they made this very clear. They either didn’t care or extensively cared. Especially the math teacher.
@@evphoritee5930 It's because all the "scantily clad schoolgirls" are distracting to the pervy teachers, not the students. They realize that as teachers they can't say they find their underage students sexy and distracting so they pass it off on the boys. They forget that at that age it doesn't matter WHAT a cute girl is wearing, they'll be... "distracting"... to male teens (what with all the hormones flowing, etc). All the boys of course are used to this already and just get on with their schoolwork, thus not actually being distracted for more than a moment or two.
There was a specific teacher at my school, I didn’t have this teacher, but my friends had him. He was caught Not one, but TWO times watching porn after his students would leave. He got fired, but then he got rehired 😂 Short story but it’s hilarious to me.
Same thing happened with a teacher in my school! This was 8th grade at a small school and 2 students caught him watching porn during class because he didn’t realize his monitor was slightly turned. Turns out there was a whole bunch of REDHEAD SPECIFIC porn tabs open on his school computer. He was fired.
GhostHawk38 he also sucked as a teacher. Took my BOOK away because I was reading between notes, pulled my bookmark out, and threatened to tell me the ending. Gave me detention because I said, “Do it dude, I’ve already read it 7 other times”. Fuck that guy.
@@rae6878 What a complete and utter asshat. I can kinda understand telling you to put it away...To pull the bookmark out, though? AND threaten to tell you the ending!? Those are both outright Literature Sins!
I just got out of middle school and i tried my hardest to break the dress code. It was pretty relaxed though, i legit just wore one of my over sized hoodies as a dress and got away with it lolol
In high school I had this really cute off the shoulder batman shirt, it had about a 2 in strap on the top of each arm, just so it wouldn't fall down, and laced up in the back over the shirt. I got "dress coded" and had to wear a shirt from the office that said "stick to the code".
When I was at a mental hospital (don't ask), you'd be sealed in your room for 30 minutes for not folding every sock in your drawer at least 2 times each, separately, and making your bed in a very specific way in which you couldn't get into bed without first tearing it apart
@@CabeliotCometier, That doesn't sound very helpful. It sounds like it might even be harmful, it may condition a compulsion to do these pointless activities.
@@JNCressey yeah I honestly didn't trust that they knew how to help people with mental issues of any kind, especially after they told a suicidal kid to "get over it" when she burst into tears
9:27 I found out that for schools, you can bring a knife if it is shorter than 3 1/2 in but under no circumstances can you show your shoulders... Schools are weird
My highschool had the no showing shoulder rule and the first time I heard this first year I was sitting next to some girl I didn't know the name of and we laughed about it. The entire four years I was at this place me and this girl shared no classes, had no mutual friends and didn't run in any of the same circles, but whenever we walked past each other in halls we would jokingly pull down our blazers to reveal our shoulders and laugh.
I've had similar stuff to the sickness happen with my past 2 jobs... my employers didn't believe I was allergic to onions till my eyes started swelling shut 5 minutes into prepping them.
I'm anemic and get cold even in the summer. Everyone likes doing whatever it takes to make me cold. I also get pneumonia every winter. I was in the military and went to basic training. Before BCT, I asked at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station/s) to be shipped off to BCT during summer shortly after signing my life away at the dotted line. They said no. I unfortunately broke my wrist a month before I had to ship out. I once again asked if I could ship out during the summer as I already had one problem and knew I'd get pneumonia. They said no and shipped me off with a still recovering broken wrist in dead winter. I went to reception which was a week for me. After that week I went to BCT. Everything was peachy until the second week of BCT. We went and "played" in the rain for a day. Note, it was just above freezing temperatures. As an anemic person that's beyond freezing to me and my body. After that day, I started coughing my lungs out and lost my voice because of laryngitis due to being force to yell whilst having pneumonia. I signed the dotted line, so it's whatever. The drill sergeants made it loud and clear "miss three days of training and it's back to red phase" ( first phase of BCT). I was fucked, but I wasn't restarting. I also had to do a mental evaluation as someone told my drill sergeants that I was suicidal (I am, but I wasn't contemplating it at the time and just wanted to get through BCT). I missed a day and was sitting out during marksmanship training. No body movement = no natural heating = worse symptoms. I eventually couldn't even cough. I kept my platoon up at night because I kept coughing to the point I couldn't cough anymore. They started to dislike me, except for the guys next to me and a couple others. They were awesome. However, I really appreciate everyone's patience at the time. They could've done something cruel, but they just let it go. They'll get good karma later, even though I don't believe in karma. Back to the topic. I played it off like I was okay. A couple days of sitting out and a mental evaluation and I was back to training. I did my best to keep up and blend in. Didn't do too bad as nobody notice until I choked on a kernel of corn. I also have a problem called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The veins in my nose are too close to the surface of my skin and I bleed from my nose every day. Normally, it's a very minor nosebleed and I don't even notice until I blow my nose and see blood on the tissue. Sometimes I wake up thinking my nose is running and sit up to blood pouring out. Other times I can catch it and stop the bleeding right away. However, this is a different deal all together. I choked on the corn and was already having enough problems. Unfortunately, I coughed so hard that while I get the kernel out of my airways, I also burst my veins in my nose. I almost bled out from a nosebleed. I had to take it easy and was in very bad shape. I tried to act like I was okay and tried to play it off, but the facade I was maintaining for almost two months (it was almost graduation time) was destroyed. My DS ripped into me that night and demanded I go to sick call (military hospital). He demanded to know why I hid my illness. One, I didn't know I had HHT as it's rare. Two, I didn't want to get red phase restarted especially as we were about to hit red, white and blue phase (the final phase/graduation phase). Three, I'm stubborn and don't like to admit defeat. My favorite thing to say is "quitters never prosper". I went to sick call and got a boat load of meds (miss me with that bullshit). I hate meds and didn't want to take them. However, I had no choice. That or restart. I chose the meds. I recovered shortly after as it got warmer and my pneumonia went away. One of the meds was a spray that I shot into my nose to cauterize the veins in my nose, so I didn't have to worry about that problem for a few months. My wrist healed, but it healed the wrong way. I got through BCT in one go and got past all of my problems. I think my DS' learned to be a bit understanding when it comes to medical issues. I don't know though. I told that story because the asthma story reminded of my adventure. One tip I can give though is to never give up even when shit hits the fan. Also, it's okay to accept help. I however don't like help and am too stubborn to accept it until it's critical that I accept it. That's technically two things, but meh. Everyone that reads this will die.

Walmart managers are always like this
I work at Walmart, I've been working here for 3 years now "my first job". After a year I was stuck in break packs, boxes filled with random items that you have to sort into totes. After a while me and another guy found a faster method to get thr job done faster " by using the Breakpack boxes instead of the totes" it worked great for almost 2 years... until now, they want me to do "Walmart one best way" method. It F****** sucks and slow, extra work that benefits absolutely nothing, and no matter what I say they retaliate saying " it's not part of the one best way" so now everytime i come to work and do break packs, I am always livid... I need to find another job fast

At my high school, you weren’t allowed to show collarbones (if you were a girl, for guys it was fine). So all shirts had to be up above the collarbone. My friends and I would make a point of exposing our collarbones to one another around staff and then dramatically swooning. It didn’t change anything, but we got some good laughs out of the annoyed looks from the staff.
"for guys it was fine" says like it's some sort of injustice. Men and boys shirts do not show collarbones. We're not out here with scoop or boat neck shirts. That's like saying "our dresses couldn't be too short but guys it's fine"
When I went to school boys weren't allowed to wear dresses and skirts but girls it was fine. Seriously though when I was in grade school boys had to take off their hats but girls were allowed to wear hats because as my 2nd grade teacher said "It's part of their dress".
@@genseven4616 actually, I said it like that because a bunch of guys in my school would wear v-necks and button downs that weren’t buttoned all the way up to the collar. Guys were allowed to wear them and girls weren’t. And also, out of curiosity a guy wore a skirt to school one day that was above dress code length to see if he would get into trouble. He didn’t.
So we had guys wearing traditionally female clothing all the time with no repercussions and the girls practically had to wear men’s clothing to stay in dress code.
My school hated shoulder exposure. They were the type of school that blamed my sister for getting sexually harassed on her to put perspective on how they were. I guess it was some weird dress code. Also made all of us were onesies on pajama day cause of the dress code for that day.
@@genseven4616 Yes, inequality is a form of injustice. To punish one person but not another solely on the basis of their sex or gender is unjust.
The only reason these dress codes exist is because of made up rules from the past that people are too irrational to let go of. People assume that because something has been around for a long time, it must have a good reason. When that is not the case at all. The reason was made up and not grounded in any sort of effect on human wellbeing.

So the school decided to make some changes and decide to change the dress code through 5th-8th graders (I'm in 8th grade btw) So here's the list of the dress code:
5th: ONLY wear white shirts
6th: ONLY wear black shirts
7th: ONLY wear gray shirts
8th: ONLY wear blue shirts

The story about the Chicken pox is even mote Ironic in a Present COVID Day world. Guarantee no ones being told to show up for exams in that school any time soon XD
True story. Happened back in the 1990s. I wasn't felling well so I went to the college's student health care center. They checked me out and told me I had the mumps. Which is very contagious. So I asked if I would be given a doctor's note to cover my absence while I was in quarantine. The nurse just looked at me like I was crazy. Quarantine for mumps? She just waved me away and said it just something going around and to continue going to classes. Which I did. To this day, I suspect that places didn't want to report outbreaks like this because the CDC would probably had shut them down for a few weeks while it ran its course. I have no idea how many college students ended up with Mumps but it wasn't like we were asked to put on masks or even keep social distancing. We were told just to continue as if it was a normal day.

I told my boss that I should probably go to the hospital before it gets worse. My boss firmly stated that their is Noone to cover for me and if I left I would be fired... So i stayed and my shoulder dislocated.
My boss once again told me to suck it up and finish my shift... After my shift I called an ambulance and they took 45mins to get to me..
By the time I got to the busy hospital and they relocated my shoulder it had been 11 hours! The muscles in my shoulder kept pulling the joint backwards into dislocation station.
So, instead of letting me go home early to fix my shoulder my boss had to pay me for sick leave AND got fined for endangering her staff. Take that ya bitch...
Hope you got the money of the first e for endangering staff. I think here in Germany you can use if he forces you to come to work ill.
I've got a walmart r/maliciouscompliance story for you. So, a bit of background on me. I'm a minority with bleached blonde hair, and piercings on my upper ear. I'm a bit of a nerd, so I made it a habit of reading through EVERYTHING that was given to employees, and highlighting/underlining any loopholes I noticed. Back when the dress code was more strict, it said you can't have brightly colored hair. But it also said natural hair colors were acceptable, so the blonde got to stay. They originally didn't like the piercings I had on my upper ear until I reminded them that females are allowed 2, 3mm ball earings, and the handbook never specifies where, or limits how many per ear. My last bit, I didn't think I would get away with. I was in the middle of laundry, so I didnt have a white or blue collared shirt. I grabbed my gray collared one instead, knowing my apron and counter would hide mostly everything (I was a cake decorator). Sure enough though, a manager (M) noticed.
M: wait a minute, what shirt do you have on?
Me: (playing dumb) It's supposed to be a collared shirt. Right?
M: (not taking my shit) you already know its blue or white
Me: Its dark white
M: .....
Me: .....
M: (walks away from me laughing hysterically. Nothing further is said about my shirt)
You’re not wrong though, grey is technically dark white.

I went to a private christian school in high school. Girls constantly got sent home because the uniform skirts the school required them to purchase were shorter than the "2 inches below the bottom of the knee" rule. The skirts rode about mid knee on most of the girls, up to slightly above the knee on taller girls. Needless to say the parents got extremely irate and often the tallest girls in my class would transfer out after getting suspended for wearing the correct dress code items, From the specific supplier that the school required us to purchase them from. Two girls got expelled from their senior year for wearing skirts that had extra fabric sewn on to lengthen them to dress code standards. The public school no shoulder thing might be dumb, but it is a rule which can be easily complied with.

Ben Stevens who said he didnt have a uniform? Could just take it off to flash some shoulders ya know
Who implied that they were wearing uniforms?
Oh my god it was like this in England to!! Spain is suuper chill about this stuff though, come over!
I guess one plus about our uniforms are that we don't have have to wear ties and suits. Only the prefects/leaders wear ties and suits. I believe our uniform designs are designed around the hot and dry weather. We usually have practical uniforms.
Depending on the school, you can usually get away with wearing only the school colours, as long as the attire is appropriate enough.
I should be thankful that the high school I attended wasn't full of jerkbags, but then again, I was purposely ignorant.
My school experience has also defined who I am as a person. For example, I love to be the lone wolf, the maverick.
School is a long story, but I survived.
(Speaking of which, the biggest insult I got from school was my graduation cert. All it said to me was "Congratulations, you survived. Have fun being at a disadvantage!" School is shit in Australia.

We found a picture of a woman in a bathtub in our Spanish book. All that was shown was her head, soapy hand, and one shoulder. Knowing this teacher to be particularly prude about girls' dress code, the class clown immediately stops class by saying, "Whoa, look at that shoulder!" I was normally not a fan of his act, but I chuckled. Or teacher was just so... exasperated.
Dude same love that weirdness
This is actually a really common thing at my school, especially with my friends and the theater kids
God I totally feel that story about retail managers being moronic about illnesses. I'm a cashier at a high end sports store, and management recently told us to not call out sick for the next few months. Ya know, flu season.
All the cashiers have been sick as hell and getting each other sick since we can't really call out sick. So I'm currently waiting to get the flu and to show up to work sick as fuck just yo show them how moronic an idea this is. Like, yea it's holiday season and slightly busy, but seriously I've been battling this damn cold for three weeks because every weekend I have to speak for hours straight and deal with angry people. Sooooo smart
own story, illness at work: So this was back when I was with the job centre (worst time of my life) and they forced me to work 3 hours travel from home at a call centre. Bit of back story, at the interview they told us that due to the hours worked there was recreational area on the lower floor to socialise. as the hours are long we were expected have our social life enveloped in work and ONLY work. obviously I didn't like this, but at the job centre you can not refuse Dx. So I had a week long 'training on the job" to complete, was in 2 days when the 3rd (Wednesday) I was incredible sick, can't remember what, but couldn't even leave the house. Anyway, I go in the next day (obviously i'd left them a message) to be called in by the manger. who i'll kid you not, did his best impression of the mastermind villain in Austin powers (don't judge, only saw watched once). anyway, he calls me into the board room sitting like that and says.
"So.….. what happened yesterday?"
"erm, I was ill and couldn't leave the house"
"does this happen often?"
me looking puzzled: "erm no?.... i'm usually quite resilient and haven't been ill in nearly 4 years!"
"Good, in that case I don't want to hear that you can't arrive again, I will let it slid just this once"
obviously feeling rather shocked and confused I walked out of the room and rejoined the "training". by the end of the day I had told the others who started with me that I would not be coming back and not to tell the manger, after all he 'did not want to hear it'.
Before leaving I had one last chat with those guys and said, "you know I don't know what I expected.... I mean at the interview I told the interviewer that I can speak French, Spanish and german and she starts speaking in another language, to which I replied...…. "erm.... sorry I don't know that one. and then to still be given the job?!?!? yeah...…"
Hope you guys enjoyed that one
The last one feels like such a cliffhanger, I am honestly SUPER curious how she reacted when she got home (I like to imagine they had it towed, even though that wouldn't happen)
In the original post, OP says the mom comes home later and finds out the cement truck wasn't able to pour the cement. She gets mad then tells OP they are a horrible brat for wasting her money since the cement in the truck couldn't be used. At least thats what I remember from reading the post on Reddit.
TheFiretiger27 can confirm. Concrete is paid for before delivery because it will kick off in a few hours and be useless, so if you aren’t ready for the truck to unload they’ll take it back to the depot and dump it. You still want your concrete? Buy another load.
Well, she isn't wrong... OP made a dick move on the mom... However she also made a dick move on him... I can see how bad must be the relationship of those two :\ The bad thing is, mother probably had her heart in the right place... those medical trials can be bad... because, you know, they are testing drugs... However "stealing" son's car wasn't the best way to deal with the issue...

Not just HS. Earlier this year a 5yr old in Minnesota was sent home for having bare shoulders. She was sent to school wearing an adorable dress her grandma got her, denim jeans underneath, and a cute little button-up sweater in case she got cold. Her mom flipped the fuck out, justified, and forced the school to change the policy because she correctly argued that it sexualized children and their bodies which was absolutely reprehensible. This is the argument we need to give for every case because this shit has gotten outta hand.
Mt dad did that with my baby sister. My adorable baby sister with a spaghetti strap dress in hot and humid Missouri. She gets a call home, and who comes back? Her story and peppy mom? Naaaaaaah.
... they didn't argue after that.
On the same breath, my dad also went to the school demanding to know why we were being taught about global warming.
Oh, or in middle school where my sister got dress coded constantly. I swear it's because the school wanted attention. She once got dress -copious while wearing a baggy coat and pants down past her knees. Why? The straps that connected the pants to her ankles were holes. :///////////

I love the puddle guarding story. It reminds me of the lockup keys incident I had while working at Walmart. I ended up full time in the stock room, but when I started I was a part timer in garden/seasonal, which at the time was right next to Toys and Sports, both of which have locked showcases. As an adult rather than a teen, with no Monday-Friday all day class schedule, I often had full timer type shifts during the day, and was often asked to sign out the Toys and/or Sports key to cover between shifts. One day an assistant manager sent me to cover the cosmetics counter for the remainder of my shift, go straight there now, here's the perfume cabinet key (Lord did I hate it when they asked for that. I don't wear makeup. I don't know how to answer anyone's questions.) This meant I had to give up the Toys & Sports keys, since I wouldn't be able to leave the cosmetics counter to unlock the cases. My direct manager, the Seasonal department head, was just starting anyway, so he took them from me and said he'd go put them under his name. He didn't. Something happened, he got distracted, never put his name in the key log. He turned them in later, and some teenager working in Toys took them from the box without signing the key log either. THAT kid didn't return them. He left them on top of the Toys showcase, but we didn't know that at the time. Guess who got reamed out because their's was the last name in the key log. Guess who refused to sign out keys for departments that weren't my own after that. Guess who was passed the spare Toys department key to cover someone's 15 minute break much later, was never asked for it back, and then forgot it was in my pocket, and then when I discovered it there I thought "Hm, it's the spare set, and my name's not attached to it... yeah, I'm gonna hold onto this for a month and then leave it in the employee bathroom."

When small puddles are treated like landmines you know you're in America 🤦♂️
Sure, i get the idea that a customer could slip and sue, but this "procedure" is just ridiculous.
Quite a few companies don't want employees making their own decisions. They would rather have employees that blindly follow orders than employees that can adapt to changing situations.
So you end up with some really stupid rules, and the upper management gets angry when their rules don't work flawlessly.
It doesn't make sense. Maybe it's an ego thing?
@@TheAttacker732
It probably is. And that's kind of sad.
Ikr? Like can't they just put a sign that there's a puddle?
I had this wonderful idea while listening to this story. When this kind of stuff happens, why can't employees have a sort of marker for puddles until someone can clean up the spill/mess they find during their shift? Everyone gets basically a set of little flags with essentially a tripod base that you deploy and just drop right at the spot for either whoever is in charge of cleaning or until you come back to get it. Everyone clearly sees the flag even though it's small, because who doesn't notice a bright orange thing sitting on the floor? The flags get picked up as they go and spares just get placed in a bin somewhere so everyone has a few at all times. Boom, problems solved and someone could probably market that.
I applaud you if you read all that.
@@richyofthevillagers To be honest that sounds cool and all, but I used to be an employee at Walmart and I already had a hard time keeping track of my current equipment.

I worked at Walmart for 7 months and while I didn’t have a sh*tty manager I can totally understand this man’s chaotic glee from standing at a spill. I commend him for staying put for so long. Very impressive. Takes a real level of spite to do that.
When I was in primary school/elementary school I went to school started to feel really sick so I told the teacher but she says leave it and to see if I feel better later not even 10 minutes later I threw up in the middle of class so tell my teacher but she says the same thing even though she can see the pile of puke all over the carpet
This is my malicious compliance.
At my school apparently you can have a shirt "too long" I got stopped in the hall on my way back to class (I went and got a drink) it was of course the ISS teacher. "Come with me, your shirt is too long" I followed and when we got to the ISS room she started writing me up. "So, my shirt is too long?" "Yes, it is!" I smiled and grabbed her scissors and cut my shirt so it was within dress code. "There we go!" I dropped the fabric of my shirt on her desk, put the scissors back, and walked away with a smile. I went to class and told them but was called into ISS and had 2 full days in there. Totally worth it!

I've got a similar one to the test taking story, except it wasn't an illness: I had been hit by a car on the way to the final exam.
Long story short: Hard-ass professor with zero-tolerance rule blocking students from taking tests if they are more than 5 minutes late. I get hit (car drove off, never got caught) while walking to class, stand up and limp my way to the exam (in my dazed/shocked state, the test was all important). I am 15 minutes late. He smugly refuses to let me take the test, saying he has heard all the excuses that college students can come up with. That is, until he sees the trickle of blood down my arm, dripping onto the floor and leaving a trail on the walking path further than can be seen. I am allowed to take the test the next week and got an A, and a small apology note.

In high school, I was wearing leggings and a flannel. Every inch of my skin was covered aside from my hands, face, and ankles. They still sent me home. 🙄

Nobody's gonna act like boys in HS don't peak,but damn your school thought boys were perverts. I feel sorry for you
DedicatedMasterpiece my shirt was long enough to be a dress lol
Either way, it was total bs and a waste of my time and gas lmao
When I was at school we had uniforms but are last year could wear anything, one of my friends was wearing a cami top, she got told off "It's distracting the boys" are teacher said, at that moment I've never seen so many girls pissed off, It's like teach the boys to control themselves, and not blame the girl from wearing what she want
To a certain degree, if a girl comes in wearing a dominatrix outfit you can't really blame the boys at that point for being distracted.
Also learn grammar you fucking idiot
Yes, girls shouldn't go to school naked, but neither should boys. Victim blaming girls not only teaches them the wrong thing, but teaches boys that they don't need to control themselves. Anything wrong they do is the girl's fault.
Believe it or not. Not every guy is that bad where if someone is wearing a tank-top they're just distracted that almost never happens. if anything it's mostly the girls cuz they're too distracted talking about how they're wearing the tank top. it's not always the guys fault
Edit: so some girls got dress coded to day for wearing short skirts like really short and went on a tirade about how it's the guys fault, but she spent 1 hour talking about how she loved wearing it, disturbing the class. But yeah totally our fault. 😶
TBH usually the "iT's DiStrAcTiNg ThE bOyS" BS is just that, BS. They're just afraid of a lawsuit. So it's less "teach the boys to control themselves" and more "teach the school admins to not bend to the will of the first Karen that threatens to sue.
With the last one, I would have told her to return the car or I will call the police. She had no right to do that to OP.

When I was in middle school, there was an administrator(who still works there) who, at least us girls, think he's a pedophile. Some girls say he's caught him looking at girls butts, and has had some girls who get dress coded put the gym uniforms on in his office(he wasn't in the room). But that's just what some people think, not everybody.

I am 35 and when I was in high school, we were NOT allowed to wear "spaghetti-strap shirts" or any shirt that showed our shoulders. The dress codes for girls and women have always been incredibly ridiculous.
I’m my high school, (I graduated 2018) even the dudes couldn’t wear anything with less sleeve than a T-shirt. They also couldn’t wear shorts during the winter. Girls couldn’t wear tank tops with a cardigan if you could tell it was a tank top, no crop tops, no shorts that didn’t reach your fingertips, and no yoga pants (leggings were fine). They allowed the cheerleaders and athletes to ignore all of those rules. I ended up leaving for the near by technical school and do not regret it.
I'm really sleepy so I read that as, "I'm 35 and in highschool, and we were not allowed to wear spaghetti straps, and show our shoulders."
In my high school, one of the board members at the time had the largest stick wedged up her ass and she would yell, rant, and rave to enforce the dumbest clothing policies the school still had because everyone just ignored the policy because there were never any issues.
Fast forward to her throwing a shitfit at my sister for wearing a short skirt with leggings one day. Afterwards, I looked through the policy and found there was no rules on menswear that pertained to kilts or shirts. So, I got me a kilt and showed up to school the next day wedged stick bitch was planning to roam the school in just a kilt, socks, and boots. Six feet of overweight caucasian man titties hanging out in the breeze as we're in PE. I made damn sure the bitch got full view of my sweaty body.

Yeah, shoulders are a no go in our school. So my friends and I make it into a joke. We'll just randomly uncover our shoulders and another friend will yell out "Cover your shoulders, you're gonna get pregnant!" As another friend proceeds to touch their shoulder and says oh wow those are some sexy shoulders in the most sarcastic voice imaginable in front of teachers and everyone lol.

The bronchial infection reminded me of quite a few scenarios I had been through. I did have a rough year long bout with bronchitis and pneumonia. However, this story reminds me more of my kidney infection. I was in between jobs, so in was working two full time jobs at once, both were incredibly demanding. Instantly, I could tell something was wrong with my body. I was dealing with intense pain, excessive bladder, and an electrolyte imbalance. I immediately let my managers know something was wrong. I was still a better worker than half of my colleagues but that was not enough for my bosses. When I started throwing up constantly and had excessive dizzy spells, I started increasing my trips to the Dr's and informing my bosses of everything my drs said, letting them know that my body was shutting down. They didn't believe me. Before all this happened, I never called out of work or used vacation time. I would even come in on my days off. But, I was at the point that I could barely move, let alone eat. I had developed intense seizures and would seizure 50-100 times a day. I was a bit luckier if it was 50. Eventually, my doctor forced a hospital to reserve a bed for me to get many major tests done. He was afraid that if I had went home, they would find me dead. It was all very sudden and I had non time to prepare. I had a kidney infection that turned into a severe UTI and was shutting down my entire digestive system, and all other facets closely connected to it. I had been in the hospital for 3 weeks, with no phone. The very day I had gotten out, better than when I went in but still unable to to put much pressure on my body, I went straight to my job to find a less demanding job. It turns out that my managers had fired me after one of my 3 trips to the hospital for job abandonment. The HR representative was livid, stating that the managers should have immediately came to her about the situation before firing me when their company had continually pushed the most laborious jobs on me when all I had asked was to be allowed to move a bit slower than I usually did (which was still much faster than half of the employees there). Long story short, I didn't go back. I'm still considerably sick. But, their company lost a dedicated employee because they didn't want to believe I was dying.

A friend of mine used to work in a popular US clothing department store. She caught norovirus (aka the winter vomiting bug).
If you haven't had this particular form of stomach upset (not stomach flu - influenza doesn't cause gastroenteritis) I will just say that it's pretty much the most intense viral gastroenteritis you can get. The symptoms come on insanely fast and sometimes within 12 hours of exposure. People have been known to start projectile vomiting with almost no warning. It's then often later accompanied by explosive diarrhoea too. It's also one of the most contagious forms of viral gastro. It can spread through the air via droplets, on surfaces and by person to person contact. You can be contagious BEFORE the symptoms start (unlike most viral stomach upsets) and for at least 2 days after symptoms stop - but maybe for weeks afterwards. The virus isn't destroyed by hand sanitiser or most disinfectants. The only thing that really works is bleach solutions. It can survive for many weeks in the environment, especially if it's damp. You don't have to even be directly exposed to someone who is sick to get ill. And while it takes less than 20 virus particles (and in some cases only a quarter of that) to make you sick, there are hundreds of millions, even billions in every ml of infected body fluids. A woman once vomited in a restaurant. Over a hundred other visitors and staff got sick within several days as a result, and they found that they could map where people were sitting in the restaurant based on how quickly they became ill. This is the virus that shuts down schools, daycares, hospitals, nursing homes and cruise ships. If you're lucky, you spend three days of absolute misery and then a week feeling like a limp rag... if you're not, you end up in the hospital on an IV or worse.
My friend's boss refused to accept that she was too sick to work. He insisted that she came into work or he would fire her because someone else had already called in sick and the manager didn't want to have to stay late to cover at the end of his shift. She made her way in, stopping to vomit along the way. She was in the store less than ten minutes before vomiting profusely into the trash can. She continued to vomit into the trash can all the way across the store on her way into the backroom before finally going home, via urgent care. Within 36 hours, the store was short-staffed because everyone else, including the manager, was sick. Within 3 days, it had to be closed to be thoroughly deep cleaned, because enough of the customers had called to complain after getting sick (those who had witnessed my friend getting sick) and God knows how much stock would have had to be trashed. When my friend quit when it became clear that they were going to discipline her and the manager was going to throw her under the bus. What an asshole.
When OP said employers need to take illnesses seriously, it reminded me of my stint at Wal-Mart. I had some issues with my kidneys and my body was starting to shutdown. I was constantly going to the dr, with no answers on what was happening but they all agreed I was overworked. I told Wal-Mart this. They didn't care. They would demand I go faster to get my 2-3 areas finished so I could help others, regardless of the fact that I was one of their fastest and more thorough stockers. Well big surprise, my body gave out and I was hospitalized. I had developed seizures and constant kidney pain. I don't work there anymore.
My manager tried to make me come into work when I had pneumonia and c diff and was quarantined. That combination is EXTREMELY fatal in children and elderly and I worked at an URGENT CARE where all we saw were elderly people and kids.

Belt fed co worker
I was a supervisor at my old job, and I was working with the assistant manager (who claims she runs the store) that no one in the business really liked. This manager always complains how we don't do our job and how we never 'follow health code'. Anyway one day my coworker was feeling really sick, but it was common for people to fake illnesses at my job (You could usually smell the weed or alcohol on them when they were 'sick') But this time it was obvious that they weren't faking it, they were just sick. Regardless the manager made her stay and I didn't intervene because I didn't wanna cross paths with this manager.
A few minutes later the employee *throws up* and tells me. I can see in their face they need to go home, and health code says they have to if they threw up. So I tell the manager.
Me: "Hey, Employee just threw up, should she go home?"
Manager: "Ok, well she can sit down for 5 minutes and get back to work."
So I told her to sit down for a bit, and I texted the head manager, who said that she had to go home. This is a small business so there were only the three of us working and one other employee, who was related to the head manager, and already knew what was going on.
As soon as the manager went to tell her she had to work, even though the employee was having trouble standing at this point, I interrupted and said that health code says she had to go.
The manager got pissed at me because 'I went above her' and 'I should have said that in private'. Remember, everyone already knew what was happening. She also said bullshit about how she knows health code and that I lied. Anyway she got to go home.
At my middle school, there was a rule that you couldn’t show shoulders and they made this very clear. They either didn’t care or extensively cared. Especially the math teacher.
My school got rid of the “no shoulders” rule this year. Still can’t wear a tank top though.
Mine did too, since our principal is a pretty cool guy, he said as long as no under garments are showing, we're all good.
Kótern if we had more reasonable school staff like that, there wouldn’t be any problems.
@@LunaP1 Yeah. Imo, most staffs are really looking too far into the whole "shoulders" ordeal.
@@evphoritee5930 It's because all the "scantily clad schoolgirls" are distracting to the pervy teachers, not the students. They realize that as teachers they can't say they find their underage students sexy and distracting so they pass it off on the boys. They forget that at that age it doesn't matter WHAT a cute girl is wearing, they'll be... "distracting"... to male teens (what with all the hormones flowing, etc). All the boys of course are used to this already and just get on with their schoolwork, thus not actually being distracted for more than a moment or two.
i stood up and clapped and rewatched the Meat Department one. managers like that should not be managers
There was a specific teacher at my school, I didn’t have this teacher, but my friends had him.
He was caught Not one, but TWO times watching porn after his students would leave.
He got fired, but then he got rehired 😂
Short story but it’s hilarious to me.
Same thing happened with a teacher in my school! This was 8th grade at a small school and 2 students caught him watching porn during class because he didn’t realize his monitor was slightly turned. Turns out there was a whole bunch of REDHEAD SPECIFIC porn tabs open on his school computer. He was fired.
Georgia Hershberger Damn 😂
GhostHawk38 he also sucked as a teacher. Took my BOOK away because I was reading between notes, pulled my bookmark out, and threatened to tell me the ending. Gave me detention because I said, “Do it dude, I’ve already read it 7 other times”. Fuck that guy.
@@rae6878 What a complete and utter asshat.
I can kinda understand telling you to put it away...To pull the bookmark out, though?
AND threaten to tell you the ending!? Those are both outright Literature Sins!
Jolly Jester it was the last Harry Potter book! If I hadn’t already read it so many times, I’d’ve killed him on the spot.
I just got out of middle school and i tried my hardest to break the dress code. It was pretty relaxed though, i legit just wore one of my over sized hoodies as a dress and got away with it lolol
😂😂😂 the bondage puns cracked me up. I would have laughed sooo hard at her
In high school I had this really cute off the shoulder batman shirt, it had about a 2 in strap on the top of each arm, just so it wouldn't fall down, and laced up in the back over the shirt. I got "dress coded" and had to wear a shirt from the office that said "stick to the code".
Honestly, I love the idea of having "STICK TO THE CODE" shirts, but I'd go a step further with full-length smocks.

The blank reply confused me. My response was just my way of acknowledging that you replied with no content to respond to.
When I went to a private school you could get detention for not folding your socks correctly. I hated that.
shastapurpledaisy who the fucking hell folds socks
@@amichiganboiwhosereallazy1544, ikr... anyone sensible would just hang them up.
When I was at a mental hospital (don't ask), you'd be sealed in your room for 30 minutes for not folding every sock in your drawer at least 2 times each, separately, and making your bed in a very specific way in which you couldn't get into bed without first tearing it apart
@@CabeliotCometier, That doesn't sound very helpful. It sounds like it might even be harmful, it may condition a compulsion to do these pointless activities.
@@JNCressey yeah I honestly didn't trust that they knew how to help people with mental issues of any kind, especially after they told a suicidal kid to "get over it" when she burst into tears
Yes apparently all high school males have shoulder fetish’s

You mean all high school teachers? i mean, kids in high school barely have an idea of what fetishes are.

I found out that for schools, you can bring a knife if it is shorter than 3 1/2 in but under no circumstances can you show your shoulders...
Schools are weird
My highschool had the no showing shoulder rule and the first time I heard this first year I was sitting next to some girl I didn't know the name of and we laughed about it.
The entire four years I was at this place me and this girl shared no classes, had no mutual friends and didn't run in any of the same circles, but whenever we walked past each other in halls we would jokingly pull down our blazers to reveal our shoulders and laugh.
I see the title and I can’t imagine the face of the person who got caught watching p*rn

I've had similar stuff to the sickness happen with my past 2 jobs... my employers didn't believe I was allergic to onions till my eyes started swelling shut 5 minutes into prepping them.
I'm anemic and get cold even in the summer. Everyone likes doing whatever it takes to make me cold. I also get pneumonia every winter. I was in the military and went to basic training. Before BCT, I asked at MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station/s) to be shipped off to BCT during summer shortly after signing my life away at the dotted line. They said no. I unfortunately broke my wrist a month before I had to ship out. I once again asked if I could ship out during the summer as I already had one problem and knew I'd get pneumonia. They said no and shipped me off with a still recovering broken wrist in dead winter. I went to reception which was a week for me. After that week I went to BCT. Everything was peachy until the second week of BCT. We went and "played" in the rain for a day. Note, it was just above freezing temperatures. As an anemic person that's beyond freezing to me and my body. After that day, I started coughing my lungs out and lost my voice because of laryngitis due to being force to yell whilst having pneumonia. I signed the dotted line, so it's whatever. The drill sergeants made it loud and clear "miss three days of training and it's back to red phase" ( first phase of BCT). I was fucked, but I wasn't restarting. I also had to do a mental evaluation as someone told my drill sergeants that I was suicidal (I am, but I wasn't contemplating it at the time and just wanted to get through BCT). I missed a day and was sitting out during marksmanship training. No body movement = no natural heating = worse symptoms. I eventually couldn't even cough. I kept my platoon up at night because I kept coughing to the point I couldn't cough anymore. They started to dislike me, except for the guys next to me and a couple others. They were awesome. However, I really appreciate everyone's patience at the time. They could've done something cruel, but they just let it go. They'll get good karma later, even though I don't believe in karma. Back to the topic. I played it off like I was okay. A couple days of sitting out and a mental evaluation and I was back to training. I did my best to keep up and blend in. Didn't do too bad as nobody notice until I choked on a kernel of corn. I also have a problem called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). The veins in my nose are too close to the surface of my skin and I bleed from my nose every day. Normally, it's a very minor nosebleed and I don't even notice until I blow my nose and see blood on the tissue. Sometimes I wake up thinking my nose is running and sit up to blood pouring out. Other times I can catch it and stop the bleeding right away. However, this is a different deal all together. I choked on the corn and was already having enough problems. Unfortunately, I coughed so hard that while I get the kernel out of my airways, I also burst my veins in my nose. I almost bled out from a nosebleed. I had to take it easy and was in very bad shape. I tried to act like I was okay and tried to play it off, but the facade I was maintaining for almost two months (it was almost graduation time) was destroyed. My DS ripped into me that night and demanded I go to sick call (military hospital). He demanded to know why I hid my illness. One, I didn't know I had HHT as it's rare. Two, I didn't want to get red phase restarted especially as we were about to hit red, white and blue phase (the final phase/graduation phase). Three, I'm stubborn and don't like to admit defeat. My favorite thing to say is "quitters never prosper". I went to sick call and got a boat load of meds (miss me with that bullshit). I hate meds and didn't want to take them. However, I had no choice. That or restart. I chose the meds. I recovered shortly after as it got warmer and my pneumonia went away. One of the meds was a spray that I shot into my nose to cauterize the veins in my nose, so I didn't have to worry about that problem for a few months. My wrist healed, but it healed the wrong way. I got through BCT in one go and got past all of my problems. I think my DS' learned to be a bit understanding when it comes to medical issues. I don't know though. I told that story because the asthma story reminded of my adventure. One tip I can give though is to never give up even when shit hits the fan. Also, it's okay to accept help. I however don't like help and am too stubborn to accept it until it's critical that I accept it. That's technically two things, but meh. Everyone that reads this will die.

We had that rule too at my school, one day one of my classmate said to the teacher: "Miss, who are turned on by shoulder?"
at that point it's more the fault of the person letting themselves be distraced by a SHOULDER then the person showing said shoulder
@@Mermain123 The teacher was scolding a girl who was wearing a tank top with spaghetti straps. The classmate said that jokingly....the teacher didn't liked that 😂
