![รวมเพลงลูกทุ่ง 6 หนุ่มไทบ้าน ฮิตติดกระแส ชุดที่ 1 l มนต์แคน ไมค์ ไผ่ เสถียร ไหมไทย พี [Longplay]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GD2v1OjMw5I/mqdefault.jpg)
I was in a store when I heard the dreaded "Don't you know who I am", another costumer shouted, " Does anyone know this man, I think he lost his memory." The laughter drove the man right out the front door.
As a security officer I heard this often, and used that phrase ❤️
Not my tale, but a work colleague who went to the local market and was waiting in line for the local cheese-seller. Our (then) local Member of Parliament rolls up, complete with his minder (Police guard) and walks to the head of the queue. Most of the queue watches at the complete gall of the man, but my friend will have none of it. "Oi!" he shouts "There's a queue!".
Our beloved MP (not) lumbers around and stares at my friend. "Do you know who I am?" he asks.
Friend looks him in the eye, says "Yes, I do, ya bugger - and there's still a queue!"
Our beloved MP looks at the stink eye he's getting from everyone, and the dead pan expression on his minder's face... Then spins around and walks off in a huff.
Your best response to "do you know who I am?" Is a deadpan "no, you famous or something?"
We all need a Marine Corps Granny in our lives
I want to adopt this nice lady as my grandma
@@Jerseybytes2 You and me both.
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber My husband has a job where, from time to time has to deal with angry karens. This is really not part of his job, but at times some costumer service clown who doesn't know what he's doing at his job transfers calls to husband (husband has explained his job to me more than once, all I understood was this). Since he now works mostly from home (3 weeks home, 1 week at the office), I get to hear some of these gems of calls. Early signs he's talking to a karen are: first he frowns and has this pissed off look that says, "if I could rip your head off, I would". then he waves a fist up in the air like saying, "how I wish I could punch you". his last warning is this loud Military voice, "MA'AM, I grew up in a farm and spent 20 years in the Navy. I CAN outcurse you" ... after he scares the karen into being a nicer gentler Karen, and he hangs up, he then proceeds to curse the state of NY where he works at (some of these long rants are interesting, and I have to chance to see how many curse words he says without repeating the same one twice. and I then remind him we're moving soon. he likes this last part)
Too bad she wasn’t a gunnery sergeant or that would have been Granny Gunny
Way to granny. Lol
Story 1: I've always wanted to reply to the question with: "Sir, I am a cashier, not a licensed therapist. I can not help you at his time, now get in line." :)
For the final story, OP is not the ahole. It is not OP's job to figure out how to work the parking so that the woman can use the van, but it is the apartment manager's job to figure it out. The manager could have offered to lower OP's rent in exchange for the spot, or maybe look into moving the parking space lines a bit and shuffle the parking spots around a tiny bit in order to accommodate everyone. If there was no way to accommodate the woman's disability van then the manager should have said so before agreeing to rent an apartment to her.
You are 100% correct and I agree with you.
OP even offered to switch spots to make it easier.
If this story took place in America. Then the owner of the building is responsible. Due to that the be handicapped parking spaces set up. Even if it is just one. This is due to ADA. And if a person has a guaranteed parking spot due to the lease. And the manager expects the person who has that spot, to just give up that up. I'm thinking that the person can claim broken lease and find a new place.
As for the woman in the story should have contacted the home office of the building to insist that they have a ADA compliant parking spot for her with out putting the other tenant(s)' parking into jeopardy. If the manager had promised not only her a spot as well as the person's assigned spot next to that handicapped spot. This is grounds for a lawsuit against the manager for making promises to that handicapped person that he had no right to do so.
@@suzettekath9860 Unfortunately you are incorrect. The ADA does not cover housing, but the Fair Housing Act (FHA) does. However, the FHA for accessibility and reasonable accommodations, it only legally covers those who live in subsidized housing or has the Housing Choice Voucher (also known as Section 8). Basically people who have rental assistance through the government. But some states may have additional state laws that might have cover disability issues in private rental dwellings.
In my state, we do not have additional state laws that protects people with disabilities who lives in private rental housing. If this person was in my state and lives in private rental dwellings and doesn't receive government assistance, she would most likely be out of luck if the property management isn't able to resolve this or is unwilling to resolve this.
The manager probably though OP was a push over and he would manage or just got a brain fart and forgot that he has some stuff to figure out before promising it. But either way, it's his responsability. And when he proposed to OP to remove his parking spot, was I the only one waiting for a lowering of the rent proposition?
Good on Maria for defending herself! Not her fault guy was a creep.
Right
So very true never b tat creepy guy who thinks u can just intimidate a smaller person like a woman
Totally agree. Reminds he of a storey from a few years ago when this guy attacked what he thought was small 'defenceless'woman in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil only to find to his cost that she was one of the top UFC fighters in the world. There was a photo of him with cuts, bruises and a black eye. Instant Karma
Yeah, to hell with that guy.
How utterly typical of this brand of sleezeball to immediately try to get her arrested when she defended herself. How DARE she defend herself! Ugh, so glad there were cameras.
Story 5: Proper Justice getting served to a Creep, that guy had it coming and i'm glad to hear that Maria is a Badass
5 Star Karma
Story 6: The manager's approach to have OP not park in the garage anymore is a dumb idea, especially since the lease allowed OP a parking spot. Just switch spots at the most.
Yeah, it's not like OP didn't own a car. The manager or leasing agent just made the woman a promise to get her to sign the lease then tried to make it OP's problem that they didn't have a suitable parking spot for her van.
I'm curious why the apartment doesn't have mandated handicapped spaces. That sounds like an ADA case.
@@segevstormlord3713 Technically the apartment doesn't have to be handicapped accessible as its not a store or sidewalk. However, if they agree to make it possible for her to park and live there, they have to make it so. They can't force OP to suffer for it either.
@@aduckofsomesort Not all of them, no. Privately owned ones - at least in my state, don't have to have handicapped anything unless they agree to provide it.
I'd like to know if there are other parking options. If so, OP might have negotiatiated a reduction in his lease to compensate giving up his space. IMO, it would have to be a =significant= reduction to make it worthwhile.
For the elderly lady from the first story, she is a badass who took no crap out of nobody.
I suspect that had he tried anything, she would have been completely capable of breaking him in half with her bare hands.
Final story: OP needs to remember the phrase, "Not my circus, not my monkeys." The apt manager and disabled woman need to work out their drama. OP is not responsible for parking lot assignments.
Should have told her to sort it out with the manager the first time.
I don't know where this event occurred, but in the US all commercial properties must have a number of handicap accessible parking spaces per total for the lot. If they didn't have parking for the woman, they should not have rented her the apartment to begin with.
@@fairygoth-mother7341 still not OP's problem.
@@fairygoth-mother7341 I'm sorry but you are incorrect because the ADA does NOT cover housing, only businesses and services provided to the public. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does housing. However, the FHA for accessibility and reasonable accommodations, it only legally covers those who live in subsidized housing or has the Housing Choice Voucher (also known as Section 8). Basically people who have rental assistance through the government.

I have been a housing specialist for a disability organization and I'm familiar with the ADA and FHA, but I'm not a lawyer. In my state, we do not have additional state laws that protects people with disabilities who lives in private rental housing. If it occurred here, depending on various factors, she might be out of luck to get an access aisle, which isn't fair even though it's legal.
@@dragonfliesnh4204 Thanks for providing clarification. Where I live, all commercial properties, including apartment buildings, must provide handicap access parking and ramps so I guess I thought that was the case everywhere.
It's wrong that more places do not have these requirements.
Grabby: He's lucky that's all he got from her because if she had been wearing heels...needless to say could have been worse.
*better ;)
I have a feeling that was not his first time either!!
Not to mention her training, the heavy cans of paint in the area, the confined space... If she'd really wanted to hurt him as badly as possible, I think her chief limitation wouldn't have been her physical ability to do harm (she was probably physically capable of killing him), but the legal boundaries of how far you're allowed to go in self-defense.
@@michellebliss1876 Making inappropriate advances, likely not, but getting his butt stomped by his intended target, probably. I hope his wife's lawyer did even worse damage to him in court.
Here's something not asked about the last story, how did the disabled lady even get OP's phone number? Did the manager give out Op's details to another tenant? That would be a major privacy violation
Yep, that crossed my mind immediately too!
Perhaps some phone book?
The events might have happened in a country where finding people's phone numbers is easy. I know that in Sweden where I live, you have to make an (small, but still) effort to have your numbers not listed in any of the several online phone directories.
Or the two people involved may have traded phone numbers previously, for some unrelated reason. I know that a number of times I have found it very handy having the phone numbers to one or other of my neighbours.
In the US, it's not hard to find someone's phone number unless they specifically have it not listed. I typed in Google my name & the first line showed my current phone number & address along with previous addresses I've lived at!
@Jennifer Vinson 💗 holy! I don’t think anything comes up when I google my name, maybe someone else’s social media that shares my name but that’s it.
Here’s a little hint for all the Karen’s out there who use the “Do you know who I am?” tactic. If you have to ask the question then there’s two things you should now know…1. If you have to ask, you’re not important enough for the staff to care and 2. Your attitude and entitlement have guaranteed that you have wasted and run out of any and all good will that may have been given and you no longer deserve anything but the most basic level of customer service and any politeness you receive. You no longer deserve anything as it is not due to what you’re owed but what those people are giving you and you are now lucky you’re not being treated worse.
I hope and pray you ask me that question some day…I’m waiting to educate you.
While I agree with you that it's often stupid, I wouldn't say that's always true. I've heard plenty of stories where the employee was being extremely rude to a customer because the customer wasn't dressed fancy enough and they assumed the customer couldn't afford to buy things and then it turned out the customer was actually the owner of the business and just wasn't there day to day (or similar stories with owners trying to block someone from going to their office because they didn't believe the person was who they said they were).
In 99% of cases the person saying "Do you know who I am?" is being a Karen, but that 1% is still there.
There is a story of an airline stewardess who, when some jerk tried the 'Do you know who I am?' line, went to the intercom and said to the whole plane " _Good evening passengers, we have a person in seat XXX who does not know who he is. If anyone knows who he is, please let a flight attendant know so we can help him_ ."
@@condorboss3339 I love those responses, they make me smile. My thought would be…”You’re asking me the wrong question. The question should be asking is, ‘do I care who you are and that answer is No!’”
Hearing these stories reminds me of a time about 20 years ago, working for a Biotech startup in Seattle. Bill Gates and his Dad knew my boss, the CEO, and had invested in the company which is how I met them. The entire time I worked for that company, every time they came to the office they greeted me by name and always made a point to ask me about my family or something equally specific and treated me with incredible kindness despite there being ZERO need or reason to do that. Since then I’ve taken the view that if the richest man on earth (at that time) would treat me with respect and kindness with nothing to gain, then no one else has any reason to do anything less…I simply don’t tolerate it and I make it clear, whatever the situation, that isn’t okay and is not going to continue.
3. Nobody _cares_ who she is, either.
@@the_once-and-future_king. exactly. There’s no better way of recreating how fake you are and how full of $hit your claims are then trying to appear like you matter or have power by name dropping…clearly you’re more impressed by that name then I am and thats the person you should be talking to because you don’t impress me with that crap!!!
People are so laughably stupid at times.
*Story 6:* I would tell that apartment manager that if he wants me to give up my parking space, he has to cancel my lease, then write up a new one for me to sign with a reduced price to accomodate for the eliminated parking spot.
And find me a place to park outside the garage if no place in the garage is available
@@nekuraookami yes! I'd demand an outdoor parking spot so he doesn't have me parking on the curb every day while every other tenant has a parking spot.
In my city, if the illegalky break a lease like that, they are required to provide moving assistance 2k to 4k depending on the number of bedrooms in the unit leased, return the deposit, plus other damages and legal fees for breaking a lease. It's also pretty much a slam dunk if taken to court.
Karen's ALWAYS Call the cops, even when there's no way she's right, cops ought to arrest them for wasting police resources. Also judges should sentence to max jail time, and multi thousand dollars in fines
This is what people should do, also the victim should always charged press against the Karen and not enabling them just because they have kids, it would make Karen think that as long as they have kids they were invincible.
Whaaaattt? The police arrest someone who deserves it ?????? Inconceivable
@@arkadikharovscabinetofcuri3465 Yeah, but both were probably white.
Imagine losing your job, your freedom and your wife, just because you couldn't take a "NO" from a woman...
A couple of extra busted limbs wouldn't have been too much for him, either...
She didn’t even have the chance to say no, he just decided “ya I’m assaulting you after work, let me tell you and assault you right now in front of all these cameras”. What a fucking disgusting idiot.
Or him singing soprano for the rest of his life....
Or being someone’s boyfriend in jail 😁
@nexus169 It sounds like she actually tried to avoid seriously hurting him, and the severity of his injuries was accidental, perhaps due to the tight aisle and hard floor that made the throw more damaging than it would have been in sparring. So it was really a lot of mercy on her part.
I am certain he must have pulled tricks like this before. And I am also sure his wife knew him quite well.
Last story: The disabled woman is also behaving like a very entitled person. She asked and was declined but proceeded to still go forward with it even though OP did decline. So her whole behavior was an AH move -> calling at 5:30 to make someone move and then proceeding to be rude...
Indeed being handicapped or disabled doesn't except a person from being entitled. Some people are very much both.
@@fnjesusfreak lets be honest a lot of disabled people are a-holes who use their disability as ammo to justify said entitlement!
Agreed, l do feel bad for her though because it can absolutely suck not to be able to get the accommodations you need but she should have been going after the apartment manager not OP.
@@euryid8920 I mean she asked OP, that was okay, but still proceeding when OP denied her request is an entitled AH move. So yes she should have absolutely went after the manager.
I also studied martial arts when I was younger. I eventually had a coworker who thought it was fun to poke me in the ribs and watch me jump. After multiple warnings, I decided I had enough. Having a 5’3” girl flip him onto the floor, twist his arm behind his back and press her knee in the small of his back finally convinced him to stop touching.
So, bravo to Maria. I hope she never has to do that again.
Last story: where do they live that there are no dedicated handicap parking spots? If this is somewhere in the United States, she can sue the apartment complex for violating the ADA. OP should not be the one having to deal with a disabled neighbor.
I hope I never have to use my training, after all these years the only reflexes I have left are the letal ones. Fortunately I have resting bitch face which serves as a warning.
@@ninirossau2304 I hear you. I’m pushing 70, so I don’t know how much I have left of those moves. I suppose my best advantage is surprise - who expects a tiny old lady to know those moves?
Story 1: People who are famous enough that you should recognize them don't need to ask "Don't you know who I am?" Why? Because you already do know who they are.
S1: Three cheers for the little old lady!
S2: That manager should be fired.
S3: No no no, the legal liability you're setting yourself up for letting them use the trampoline, tear it down and get rid of it. At least you DID press charges, right?
S4: HEehehehe... I'd have just ignored her, period...
S5: He got off WAY TOO lightly for his crimes frankly...
S6: NTA at all. Turn off your phone.... Time to escalate to the Apartment OWNER. EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE TRIES TO CALL YOU.
Oh yes the trampoline story trampolines are incredibly dangerous. If anything had happened she would habe been financialy ruined as would any descendents.
Block her number and sue the aptartment manager for invasion of privacy for giving the woman his number as i Highly doubt the op gave it to her.
Story 1
Once a Marine - always a Marine.
You go grandma!
On the question on "do/don't you know who I am!?", I am tempted to have the nearest psychiactric ward on speed dial.
Karen: "Do/Don't you know who I am!?"
Me: calling psych ward "...yes, hello? I was wondering if you were missing a patient? Oh, I have a lady/gentleman who keeps yelling if I know them to my person..."
My own response would be: '... The Juggernaut?'
A woman who put up with a marine drill Sargent and then raised 2 more. That man was lucky he still has his suit on. I guarantee that older lady needs 0 help opening jars in her 80s
She probably just smashes the lid
For that last story... how the actual heck did the lady get OP's phone number in the first place? I'd have probably pressed charges on the building manager for giving out private information like that after the first phone call! ( if that's what happened) OP shouldn't have been bothered at all by this situation and that should have been handled way better on the management side of things.
The sad thing about the first story is that the man felt entitled to verbally attack OP because they were working in retail... because, apparently, since you're a low-level employee and they can call a spineless manager to bully you into submission, this means you're also a lesser human being.
That's the only reason why he didn't have the guts to attack the old lady on the spot too.
"Sad thing"? Yeah, right. The entitled person of story 1 got scared out of his wits.
The old lady was a Marine from a family of Marines. She would have made a mess of him.
the more reason for other customers to tell these karens where to shove it. cause, what is the store going to do to us?? fire us? guess what, I don't work there. and if one of these entitled jerks asked me if I knew who he or she was my reply would be, nope and I don't give a fk either. then it would go downhill from here :D
@@soaringvulture Permit me a slight correction of your comment:
The old lady IS a Marine IN a family of Marines. (And yes, she definitely would have made a mess of him.)
Correction 1: Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Correction 2: We don't know about her parentage. We do know she married a fellow Marine (before or after her enlistment? Dunno.), and is mother to two MORE Devil Dogs. Not just any Marines, but DRILL INSTRUCTORS!!
THIS WOMAN is why Female Marines like me grin at being called "bitch". A female dog who has had puppies, and will F YOU UP if you mess with us!
Note: I completely agree with your sentiment. 🐶👍
Good for you grandmother You totally rock.😃😆😁😀🤣🤩❤️🧡💖💝❣️💌💞💗
Good for Maria for defending herself!
For that last story, the apt manager should have put up a note asking for someone to voluntarily give up their parking space in exchange for a renegotiated lower rent. Probably someone would have taken them up on it, then OP could switch into that space. The mgr just thought that renters are so desperate they'll be bullied into anything.
Maria’s story ranks up there with the Dojo Dummy several years ago out of Charlotte NC. He was trying to abduct a young lady and she went into a local business and like an idiot he followed her in. It was a Dojo and after confirming her story, the instructor and another father wiped the floor with him and called the police.😂😂😂
I had heard of some idiot who tried to mug someone right in front of the windows of a dojo, and every student and instructor poured out of the place and chased him down and kicked his butt.
Marira is an absolute queen. Good on her for protecting herself. Alot of parents should put their daughters in some kind of material arts so when they get older they can protect themselves.
story 1: it's always hilarious when sweet old ladies start cussing,
The last one: if they are in the US, there are laws about when and were a handicapped parking spot is to be available. It depends on the number of parking spaces and the number of apartments. However, since they could rent a lower floor apartment to a person in a wheelchair at any time, it would have been good to have a handicap spot already in place, even if it were never used. The new renter has a great legal case. Since she needs one that is for vans, it would take 1.5 parking spaces at least. It would be expensive but doable to take an end spot and add to it to make room for her lift.
Also, the new renter had to have been told that each apartment has one spot. Yet she was told a spot would be made available. Which meant someone was going to lose theirs. She had to have seen a handicap spot was not available. She should not be surprised nor angry that the guy didn't want to give up his parking space. Move his spot, sure. Lose it, no.
Is he the Ahole? Nope. Management. They knew he said he wouldn't move. They knew there was going to be a problem. What did they do to mitigate this? Not a damn thing.
Like I said, the new renter has a good lawsuit.
As an aside, I am a wheelchair user and used to be an ADA advocate and site evaluator. I've helped wheeler friends find apartments and the first thing we look for is a parking space. Even if they don't have an accessible apartment, nearly all of them have a handicap visitor parking available. But it is sad, 32 yrs after the ADA was made law, this issue still exists.
At least the ADA covers the rights of Service Dogs & their Handlers. We’re still fighting that fight here in Canada sadly & maddeningly. The Federal Govt’s saying it’s a Provincial/Territorial thing & the Prov/Territorial Govts are saying it’s a Federal thing. Meanwhile, we’re the game piece in a match Pass The Hot Potato. I’m Legally Blind & while I don’t need a Service Dog yet, I know it’s only a matter of time. This is very scary to not only me, but also for my Friends in Wheelchairs have their rights enshrined. However, as soon as a Service Dog is part of their lives, that all goes out the door. It’s just so stupid & heartless &....Sigh. 😡😡😡
The issue exists because ADA, that made the so called "handicapped people" entitled for more parking space while expect to pay the same rate.
@@gorilladisco9108 Yeah. Entitled. Not a ten foot pole long enough for me to touch that statement with more than this.
@@denisecampbell6736 I totally get it. I have a service dog. The ADA is not perfect but there are other laws in place to cover most gaps. The Fair Housing Act covers SDs in housing. The Air Carriers Act covers them in airplanes. The ADA is essentially for work and public spaces, including apartment parking lots. It is sad we have to have a law to make businesses (and apartments) realize who their customers are or could be. And ramps are great for strollers, those on crutches temporarily, delivery guys, etc.
I'm a person with disabilities and have a wheelchair. What a lot of people don't realize is that ADA does NOT cover housing, only businesses and services provided to the public. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does housing. However, the FHA for accessibility and reasonable accommodations, it only legally covers those who live in subsidized housing or has the Housing Choice Voucher (also known as Section 8). Basically people who have rental assistance through the government. But some states may have additional state laws that might have cover disability access and accommodations in private rental dwellings.

In my state, we do not have additional state laws that protects people with disabilities who lives in private rental housing. If it occurred here, depending on various factors, she might be out of luck to get an access aisle, which isn't fair even though it's legal.
An important detail left out of that last story for some reason, OP would've agreed as long as rent was dropped a little, since he literally paid to ensure a spot. The property manager wouldn't agree to decreasing the rent in return. So this guy was not only expected to just give up his spot, but also expected to keep paying for it while someone else used it.
When people say "Don't you know who I am?", that's when you call the manager and tell them that there's a customer who has lost their memory and needs assistance and a straight jacket.
@nexus169 that will send them into full Karen mode. Lol
Story 1: I would have loved to see how the guy would have reacted to OP saying "Sir, in the time it took you to yell at me for doing my job right, both you and this lady could have already been out of the store."
If a disabled person needs a parking space? The landlord has to deal with that.
I've asked it before and I've asked it again, why do some people still believe in that "they are just playing hard to get" bs?
It's a lose-lose game. Either they aren't and you're a creep against your arm broken, or they are and now you're dealing with someone that is going to permanently Play mind games and that you could never trust.
It's so dumb
Its also due to Alpha male toxic masculinity culture.
@nexus169 as a Christian im afraid and ashamed to say I have to agree with you.
@Fred Fred Burger Exactly! if you think they are just playing kind games why on earth would you want to deal with that? And if they aren’t, you just hurt someone.
Once when I worked security at FedEx a man came to Golf 2 wanting in. He didn't have employee badge or ramp pass for his vehicle so I asked for his id. He said"Do you know who I am?" I said " yes sir Mr. Smith I know exactly who you are, but I still need your ID. He said " good you know your job."
last story: shouldn't the apartment manager have disabled parking spots set up for disabled people
Probably. And If I'm not Mistaken, that is ILLEGAL
Here in the US it's illegal not to have at least one disabled spot per entrance, depending on the size of the building
Story 3: Talk about criminally stupid. Imagine trespassing multiple times so your kids could have fun the way they want it.
Yeah, I bet that wasn't about the kids. Karen just wanted them out of her hair for as long as possible as often as possible. You know she'd be the first to sue OP if/when one of the unsupervised kids got hurt on the trampoline!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@@Arcader-cs9bs That's what I call playing EA games and winning lootboxes.
To add insult to injury: used trampolines are really cheap. Heck, even new ones are available for roughly 200 bucks ...
@@serenity1378 At least lootboxes have a chance to give you something good. Dumb prizes don't grant you such luxury
The parking spot? Yeah it is good to make reasonable accomodation to help the disabled. That does NOT give them carte blanche to be unreasonable.
Story 6: if you knew that you would need a handicap space before moving in and the apartment doesn’t have adequate accommodations why even move in?
For the Little old Lady in he first story: OORAH!! SEMPER FI!!!
In regards to the last story, and as a disabled person who uses handicap spots, I 100% agree that OP INTA. the lady and the apartment manager are. The lady for feeling entitled and acting as though OP is required to cater to her. The apartment manager for making a promise he can't keep and having the audacity to think OP could and should oblige. Also, why the hell does the apartment building not have handicap spots, including van accessible spots? Nowadays it's, if not very common, a law that there be handicap accessibility in all businesses, especially housing facilities. I know of places that have had to do total overhauls in order to come to code or close down. It's ridiculous.
I disagree, it's expensive enough being disabled and paying for accomodations he could have done something else to make his point other than rack up several hundreds in fees for her being discourteous. What she did was an annoyance, yes, discourteous yes, even rude, even though she called within daytime; what he did was depriving her of independence and he would have been called the AH if it had been a scooter parked there. Moving the van to her space instead of having it actually towed, for instance. But disability accomodations are sorely lacking in countries outside of the US (and if you think the US has some areas where it's lacking, let me just say it's worse in the world at large) so I'm not surprised at all the complex didn't have one and the woman should be filing a complaint with whatever local authority handles disability accomodations that the apartment is not providing her a handicap spot. The ADA is actually enforced and I get dozens of emails per year about settlements for infractions from the DoJ. In contrast, I was just reading the other day about a story where security for shops in the UK very commonly kicks service dogs out of stores, including the vice chairman of the service animal charity and the chairman was lamenting about how unenforced the "equality act" was. The number was like, one third of people with service dogs in the UK have filed reports the "equality act" was violated by security at stores and other public establishments. That's not even touching the sheer lack of accomodations for people in city centers to just get around, especially in older buildings, and forget medieval buildings. The UK likes to think itself very advanced on disability issues with its blue badge and its equality act but a lot of disabled British youtubers have talked about their challenges with disability issues that are rife here including a lack of adherence to providing reasonable accomodation in public settings, and I've experienced some of them myself.
I live in an apartment building that has an indoor and outdoor garage/parking spots. The outdoor spot has handicapped parking the indoor doesn’t. However, there are people who are handicapped that use the indoor garage and have no issues. I have also lived in an apartment which have assigned parking where the management has the right to assign handicapped parking to people who aren’t handicapped since there’s no handicapped people in the building who need it.
Most parking garages for apartments only have a limited amount of spaces,like mine, just enough for 1 for every apartment. Most parking garages are under the apartment building. Above ground parking has handicap parking.
@@TheSjuris but the building manager doesn't have the right to take someone else's spot. If it's part of the lease you get one spot, you can't remove one person's spot to accommodate someone else and the apartment manager wasn't even going to accommodate the person he was trying to take the spot away. If he does, he's breaking the lease and courts aren't to friendly with landlords and building management.
Most of this depends on what OP defines as apartments and local laws. A big complex, business owned has to have them, but a small, privately owned apartment does not. Example, a 3rd floor apartment does not have to be wheelchair accessible. HOWEVER, the second the manager agreed to make accommodations, it was HIS responsibility. Not OPs. He doesn't have the right to make a detriment to other paying tenants.
Another way to respond when someone says: "Don't you know who I am?"
Just reply with: "Oh no. Do you have amnesia? Does anyone know who this man/woman is? They seem to have developed a case of amnesia."
Last story.... OP is NOT the A-hole
The apt mgr and the lady is. What gives them the right to bully OP?
Not the first time I've run into a handicapped person who had an entitled attitude. Not all of them, thank god, but they are out here.
@@kenkahre9262 I was in a computer club in the late '80s. One member would sometimes bring his scooter with him, but walk wit a cane on other evenings. When he was on the scooter he would yell at people to get the hell out of his way, so that he could pay his dues. (We rented a meeting room in the Orlando Science Center) He didn't wok, while most of the members had just finished at least eight hours and man on their feet all day. I was an Engineer at a local TV station, so some days involved climbing ladders along with standing most of the day. He started that crap one night, so I told him to shut up and wait his turn like everyone else, and that he was already sitting so he had n reason to complain. He started to get mad, but everyone else refused to move and made him wait his turn. It would have been different if he was using his cane, instead.
@@michaelterrell Had something similar happen at the old Area in St. Louis concerning the bathrooms. The story is legend now. In between hockey periods, the lines outside the bathrooms get long, as you can imagine, even though ALL the stalls are being used, even the handicapped. Handicapped means they are accessible, not reserved. Well one guy in a wheelchair demanded everyone get out of his way and vacate that stall just for him. He was loud, obnoxious and exceptionally rude and overly entitled. Till finally someone had enough and tipped him over on his side and left him there. Nobody, and I mean nobody, felt a bit sorry for him. It wasn't until his screams brought security around to help him up. And when security asked what happened - no one saw a thing. Strange.
@@kenkahre9262 As a person who uses a wheelchair, this man makes me cringe and he was very entitled and a major jerk. Even though he was a miserable person, they shouldn't have pushed him over. Many people need the larger stall for other reasons. Some people may have bad joints and need the taller toilet or have claustrophobia like one of my coworkers. At work, I'm there 8 hours a day but I only use the bathroom 3 or 4 times a day. If it's vacant and all the other stalls are used and someone really needs to go, it's unfair to leave the accessible one vacant, "just in case". (we only have three stalls) When people apologize to me when they leave the stall and see me waiting, I tell them that my name is not on it and I can wait just like everyone else. Also I tell them that they don't have to apologize!
Yep just goes to show that not everyone that's disabled is an angel. I hate it when people with disability stickers take up two spots by parking cookedly. I mean the disabled spot and the one next to it. They're also very clearly not in a wheelchair. Not even a cane. A sticker doesn't mean you own all parking spots and courtesy doesn't apply to you.
I would not be expecting them to be if I was you. Disability and/or hardship breed one of two things, really nice people or really terrible people, either is possible and just as likely.
Story 6: What the heck is up with that Appartment manager?! OP has a right to a parking space, besides why would he suddenly prioritize that the woman gets her way no matter what?
is she his' mistress? is she paying him under the table money for exclusive use of the garage? does he use the Garage for some kind of Secret Con and she is a part of it?
(I'm not sure what the reason could be, the above possibilities are the only reasons I could think of)
Aggressive! "Do you know who I am?" Phone, 911, "I am at (location) and have an aggressive customer who doesn't know who he is." Works like a charm.
I love the way you read these out and the black sheep avatar is adorable.
Story 1: Good for the old lady standing up to the guy for being a jerk. LOL. I'm the type of person that if I see someone shouting at a cashier/employee I go over and tell them to back off. Employees don't get paid enough to deal with that crap. I agree about the "Don't you know who I am". I'm always inclined to say "I dgaf".
Story 2: ugh. I had a pretty bad experience with Hertz. Backstory: I live in a rural area. A 300yr old oak tree keeled over & crushed my vehicles & car port. My insurance company contacted Hertz (who would not come out to my house but would meet me at the place my vehicles were towed to- both were totaled) to get picked up at a specific time. Guy rolled up 2 hours late & I had to ride with him an hour to the place and sign all the paperwork and give insurance info. So, a couple days later I'm in the rental going through a green light when someone in an SUV blew through a red light and took the entire front end off the rental and spun me around so I was facing a lawyer's office. Even though the other driver was completely at fault & I had done nothing wrong, Hertz refused to let me lease another vehicle (I could understand refusal if I had been at fault) but they also didn't process the info about where the vehicle was towed to. I had no choice. Tow guy hooked it up while I was still in it and screamed at me to gtfo (even though I was injured) and hauled it off without giving me any info-- with my stuff still in it. I had to find out where the impound lot was to go get my stuff out. The key was still in the vehicle. This is important bc I started getting calls from Hertz asking when I was going to return the vehicle and they were going to charge me for having it longer, etc. They were charging for every day the vehicle was in impound before they sent someone to haul it off & they took 2 weeks. They also said I didn't return the keys. I explained that the keys were in the vehicle. But despite me having given them the info over and over they kept calling and harassing me-- and I was feeling awful bc I had permanent injuries from this wreck. I finally complained on Twitter that they were harassing me & someone got in touch w/ me rather quickly. I got an apology & they ceased calling me. But they really had a lack of communication issue going on and a crappy way of handling customers. Anyway, I love that OP wrote "YOUR NAME". Employees have no obligation to give their names to customers if they don't want to.
Story 3: This is when gate locks come in handy. Lock the gate. If kids get hurt on the trampoline or in OP's yard, she's liable for any injuries & can be sued. Or maybe OP didn't have a gate? Locking the trampoline was good. The guy picking the lock is definitely criminal. Glad he got charged, but the mother should have been charged as well for telling the kids to trespass. Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is a crime in some places still.
Story 4: Even if I was inclined to ignore a "no parking zone" sign, I would not park so close to construction anyway. I'd find somewhere else to park. And I would move the barrier myself if I ever found myself in such a situation (which I wouldn't).
Story 5: Good for Maria! I'm glad it was caught on tape. I bet that was one of those tapes the cops made copies of to share back at the precinct and laugh at (not her getting assaulted but the guy getting his arm broken).
Story 6: NTA. Disabled woman acted like a Karen. I wonder what the layout was that OP couldn't switch sides with her and have her ramp come out on the open side- but maybe something was in the way? Apartment manager needs to either get a new handicap spot added in or needs to refund Karen's money for a parking spot and deal with having breached the contract by not being able to provide what he promised her. Its on the manager, not OP. If Karen hadn't been so rude he wouldn't have reacted the way he did.
Omg this is such an awesome story. Love those feisty seniors. Finding she was a Drill Sargent adds the icing to this entire sweet breakfast listen. Wahoo, never know what these beautiful people hide and are able to expressive it so very well. I honestly would have loved to be there lol 🌸.
The first story... "Do you know who I am?" that was the perfect response, and would be exactly what I would respond with. If I am at work, it would be more polite but would be similar.
My standard answer for people who say, “Do you know who I am?” is “OMG! you don’t know who you are? Do you have a head injury? That’s a sign of AMNESIA! Do you need an ambulance?”
@nexus169 Or if it's in line point to a copy of People or some similar celeb gossip magazine and say no I don't why don't you show us which one you are.
Story 1: I literally said "Go Grandma!" out loud... Lucky I was home alone lol.
The old lady in story one is beyond heroic!
Last story, NTA. If the lady had actually tried to work with the OP to figure something better out in the beginning and didn’t block his spot, then the story would be NAH, but that obviously didn’t happen.
Story 3: This is the equivalent of telling someone that if they move one more step OP will activate the Boobytraps, Karen tries to call OP's Bluff, then learns the hard way that OP wasn't bluffing
Whenever someone tries the "Do you know who I am" line they ought to offer to call 911 for them since they are confused and obviously don't know who they are.
Bwahahahaha, I laughed out loud at the Marine Corp Granny!!
Story 1: The original poster probably wasn't aware but in the Marine Corps they're called drill instructors not drill sergeants. I still think it was awesome that the nice old lady told him off.
1st story: Semper Fi, Grandmother! 👍🏽 … last story: It’s law that facilities have handicapped access - the apt. OWNERS should be made to designate a 1.5 handicapped parking spot for tenants. If the manager is trying to make OP responsible for the owners’ transgressions - he has a lease and legal leverage.
Last story: OP's lease says they get a parking spot, so they get a parking spot. The only way to compromise is to rewrite OP's lease so they pay less rent in exchange for their parking spot, but I doubt the manager would be willing to go through with that, which is why the whole situation happened.
Another option is that the manager could ask if another tenant is willing to give up their spot for this woman. Depending on how many apartments there are and parking spots, perhaps there is someone that lives there who doesn't have a car or a license who may be willing to give up their spot.
For the accessibility story... they said their spot was closest to the elevator right? If they switched spots wouldn't there be enough room to manipulate by the elevator? If not then it is most definitely the fault of the manager because he knew what he was promising was impossible. What he asked initially was outrageous too!
Saw a good one online the other day. Young, spoiled guy climbs out of his shiny car and says to the cop, "Do you know who my father is?"
Cop: "Your mama didn't tell you?"
Parking. There's usually a couple of spaces that are next to a passage. The woman should be able to park next to this walkway and use that space for getting into or out of her van. Whoever has that space, if they aren't disabled, should be willing to trade.
Also, this is a building manager's problem. Neither OP nor the woman should have to depend on the kindness of others for accessible parking. Especially if they "own" a particular parking space. OP and the woman should double up against the manager together.
The 1st story was a real good one. Wish I could have been there to see this little old lady giving hell to the jerk man.
First story: Super granny the MVP. With the question "don't you know who I am?" I have two answers, the first "you must be so stupid to don't know your own name" and "I don't know and I don't care".
Karen calls neighbor a Karen and calls police and her husband gets arrested?!? That is the cherry on top of my day. 🤣🤣
i remember reading a story years ago about a waitress who had the "don't you know who i am" customer. she called for silence in the resturant and asked in a loud voice "excuse me, does anyone here know this person or his carer as he does not know his name" he was gone in 10 seconds
Story 1: that little old lady is exactly why I couldn't work retail.... it is impolite to burst out laughing while on shift.
Story 6: my dad is a disabled person... the solution is to give her an end spot, normally by the door. That way she can use the lack of a neighbour to pull out her ramp.
Wow. The sweet little old lady became a Madea in an instant. You don't f--- with a marine!
“Don’t you know who I am?”
(Sympathetically) “Oooh, dementia. I’m sorry. Do you know if you have your ID on you?”
🙂😁
I once heard of a student used the question “Do you know who I am” on a teacher who wouldn’t let him turn in a late assignment that was supposed to be turned in earlier. When she said no, he grabbed the stack of turned in assignments and put his work in the middle of the stack. She didn’t know who he was so she had to grade his work like all the others.
Well done to that student, that teacher should know who is in her class. Hopefully both have learnt a lesson by this, & won't repeat it.
@@catherinep2034 It’s been a while but it might have been a sub.
@@zedekiahstephens4161 oh ok, if sub then understandable.
Maria's story earned this video a like. Good on her for standing her ground!
Entitled people...
I prefer hearing stories about entitled people than actually facing them.
That first story was priceless!
I'm an union electrician and we were working on BART in SF. We're behind a supermarket in a gated area that has no parking signs all over the entrance, plus the gate was open and you could see us working. I'm driving the gradeall (giant forklift) to pick up some material and an older man parks in front of the open gate. I asked him to move three times and he said "I'm going to the store, I'll be right back." everytime. I looked at my foreman and he said, "do what you have to." I lowered the forks, drove under his car and started to lift it. He started screaming, "I'll move, I'll move."
I can be sympathetic to the no parking zone situation, as I had my car parked legally one evening. First thing in the morning, they put up no parking signs for some road work and promptly ticketed my car which was parked legally when I left it. I had no chance to move it because I was still asleep. It was legally parked when I left it, and next thing I know it's ticketed for a temporary no parking zone which began after I left the car. They wouldn't dismiss the ticket either, and I had to pay for impound fees and such.
That shouldn't be legal. Where I live they have to announce no parking zones two weeks in advance. If this is legal where you live, that law is f*d up ...
In your case it’s understandable but in this story it was always a no park zone, her issue was when the men left they moved the fence which then boxed her in. She did this to herself.
On the first story, WAY TO GO OLD LADY WAY TO GO.
"Do you know who I am?" Me: Hey folks, this guy doesn't know who he is -- can anyone help? (Maybe it's amnesia?)
The granny is awesome and I would have loved to see the look on his face when she spoke up against him.
Story 2. In my old company that manager would have been out the door the very next day. He broke company policy which could have caused the loss of the vehicle, not sorry but you're history and OP is now the new manager.
WTG, Maria! I'm not a Black Belt but, I'm not afraid to choose violence in self defense. I'm glad she didn't get into trouble! Good on OP for having her back!👍👍😘😘💖💖
The black belt reveals everything. Grabby sure didn't expect that employees could fight back, and was unlucky enough to lay his hands on maria.
The best response I've heard to a "don't you know who I am?" Was the cashier getting on the loudspeaker and asking the store at large if anyone knew this person, as they apparently had amnesia and was looking for help to identify themselves!
Good for the First Lady!!!
"Grabby Mcgrabby" will be on the other side in prison. Hahaha..... 😄
Last story.... OP is NTA at all. He is under no obligation to help her. She's an entitled B and a choosing beggar. She needs to get an apartment where her needs can be better met by management, not another resident.
"Don't you know who I am?"
"No. Who are you?"
"I'm the inventor of the bread slicer" (for example).
"Well, in that case,... I still don't care. Wait in line like everybody else or GTFO"
Can't wait for another episode of Entitled People! :)
Bravo Maria for putting Grabby in the hospital! I doubt he learned his lesson, but he got what he deserved.
Story 1: Wow! Gotta love that granny
Story 4: I had a grin on my face when the cop gave the Karen that ticket.
Story 5: I love this story
First story - That's not a Karen! That's a Marine!
Story 2: This isn't how you properly fight back, the Manager should've told Karen to leave instead, you don't give rude people what they want you teach them a lesson!!
Amen. And the fact that corporate didn't give them their bonus because of a policy-violating Karen's review. Pathetic.
In Story 6 OP should have negotiated with the Apartment Manager to write up a new lease agreement in which OP agrees to give up the parking spot in exchange for a $200 per month reduction in rent. Of course, I understand that it depends on the neighborhood. I've lived in places where street parking was not an option due to crime. But it seems like it would be worth a shot.
Trampoline story: unless you’ve suddenly brought not only the trampoline and the garden that I’m not aware of, it’s my property, hence my prerogative to who, when, and how I allow people enter and using my property!!!
Drill sergents are requiered to be VERY strict and tough so that they can deal disapline very well.
I worked for a long time in a bakery and cafe, locate in the public library. The owner was also a karate sensei. We had a young lady working there while she was a college student. She complained about a guy in a group of her friends who kept making unwanted hits on her. Boss instructed her in a couple of ways to grab and push back. One day she comes in, her face all lit up, and said "It works!" I guess the grabby dude had tried it again, she used what she'd learned, and he fell back on the floor. Yay!
Story 2: Ironically, if OP HAD given her name and the Karen had complained to Corporate, the only person who's be disciplined would be the manager for disobeying company policy. OP did him a solid.
I would be PROUD to be related to that old lady from the first story, not only was she a veteran but that comment about shoving her walker where the sun don’t shine would have me giving her a hug if I was there to see that incident!
Story 5: This is why you don't act like creepy and say you are going to sexually assault someone and then try to. You may end up with a broken arm, a concussion, getting fired from a well paying job, and get divorced. Seriously, if you are that level of horny, just go home, find your wife or go find a bathroom and handle yourself because... just wow.
Yep. You being horny is a you problem and no one else. If you have a significant other that is willing to help with that then great for both of you.
Other than that, handle it yourself
NEVER mess with a Marine, even a little 80 year old lady Marine!
Love the old lady in the first story.
