Tough sports coaches, rude fast-food customers, and criminals getting their comeuppance, the guys discuss all of their moments of revenge and defiance at those who dared to cross them.
I had a 2nd principal or something. that hated me *I' don't know why he did* he just hated me. but I remember him walking up to me to tell me to put my phone away even though I leave right after where I was. but the way he looked around. you know the look you or others do when they do something that wasn't needed and they look around for something to hide it (It's so hard to explain) but that fucking pissed me off. I really a wanted to call him out on his shit buy I didnt.
It is i had a principle who hated me and found a bullshit Reason to suspend me for a month and make me take Tests in all Subjects i missed .i did and when i in Spite of this walked up at him in the leather coat wich he hated me for .on gratuation day and had to give me my degree i shaked his Hand and told him "now we are done old man" Flipped him the bird and left the Premisses .never saw an old dude turn perple in rage before or since
I went to a school where 3 in 4 teachers were practically unqualified for their job. Whether they were strict teachers, gentle types, horny foreigners or senile fossils, they all had at least one of the following issues: - being *unable to assert themselves* - wearing *indecent* clothing - *hearing voices* and *punishing* the class for it - being *sick* for the *majority* of each semester - *ignoring the curriculum* completely - basing *entire tests* on *their irrelevant interests* - being *unable to speak* our mother tongue - *drinking* on the job - *mocking autistic students* - *bullying students* into giving teachers *money* - *sexually harrassing* female students - *damaging rowdy students' property* - *physically harming rowdy students* Needless to say, we didn't receive nearly as much valuable education as we should have, and what little education we did receive was usually marred by the depressing atmosphere. I finally transferred to a better school the year before my A Levels. Looking back, only now do I realize how dysfunctional my previous school was. It wouldn't be farfetched to say that it had ruined my childhood. And in spite of the _"who gives a fuck"-attitude_ it made me adopt, I can't help but feel just a little bitter about it. These people were responsible for our mental growth, after all. Besides, one of them still owes me twenty bucks.
I know all too well... My teacher was a Catholic extremist homophobic bitch who put me and all my friends through hell for over 7 fucking years. She was a tyrant and she deserves any future backlash.
Broooo same Also it's funny when kids fall Hell it's funny when anyone falls down because it's gives me an opportunity to say "wherever you're going I hope you have a nice TRIP, I'll see you next FALL"
How did Bob say something about “how do some people manage to pee and poo in every corner of a restroom stall” after telling his story of food poisoning with frozen meat that had gone bad?
Wade in regards to your “dude with straw in bathroom at United dairy farmers” story - I was an opiate addict for more than ten years. Larger straws (McDonald’s, etc) are often chosen for that specific purpose by addicts. Especially if he was doing pills- much larger quantities of crap has to be snorted. If anyone has had their wisdom teeth removed, you’ll know how big hydrocodone pills can be. Imagine breaking that into powder. It’s SO bad for your sinuses, your soft pallete, all of that soft tissue. And often, the fillers, non-active ingredients (*cough* Tylenol *cough*) and whatnot are just as bad for your sinuses as the drug itself. From personal experience, I can tell you: my sinuses are destroyed. I’m clean and have been for about four years now, but I’m now horribly addicted to nasal sprays just to let me breathe. My nose bled often and it can happen all the sudden with little to no warning, and there were occasions that I was woozy from losing the amount of blood I did. It’s surprising how much blood your nasal blood vessels, capillaries, etc can put out. If you need help, do yourself a favor. Look up a treatment center in your area. There are inpatient and outpatient clinics. Some as little as $13 a day, a methadone assisted recovery clinic helped me get clean and actually stay clean after many failed attempts on my own.
@@septarria so far so good! Been almost 3 years I believe. Unfortunately some dumbasses at my college bring it up all the time. The negative side of being brutally honest
Im also a recovered addict and I knew exactly where the story was going when Wade said he took a straw to the bathroom. I remember doing that alot...although Im laughing at Wade being confused on how the guy used the straw lol they didnt even think about the concept of snapping/cutting a straw shorter
29:00 i'm so impressed, that's actually an excellent way to handle things. You didn't schemed revenge behind his back, you didn't yell and scream at him, you just said literally what was on your mind. That's communicating, he had some hard things to hear and he needed to hear them.
that’s how i try to handle any situation. if you handle something amicably, i don’t see how it can make an issue- a teacher is a person just like us and if it’s hard on them too, why not talk about it? i try not to be scared of my own superiors.
I got a small taste of it when I was a part of the lighting crew of our high school theater. A teacher and her young children were give permission to seat in the balcony. Normally only crew and cast are allowed there. And they brought candy with them. They were allowing their kids to just drop their candy trash on the floor, including syrupy lollipop sticks that clung to the floor. I knew I had to be the one to clean it up by hand because the janitors don't clean up there. I tricked them into going downstairs for the other half of the show because we had some performances staged in the seating area for that show.
When I came to the US, I got a job at Burger King where I worked for a little over 2 years. I came to hate customers with all my soul, and I would flog myself at home whenever I would enter an establishment as a customer. I decided I wasn't going to take their shit anymore, and I mean that literally and metaphorically. I became a staple of the small town I worked in. Some people hated me, some loved me. But one thing became widely accepted in this small town: If you come to Burger King on the Danish guy's shift, you better do two things. 1, be polite, and 2, clean up after yourself. If you didn't, there would be hell to pay. Every time I raged at a customer in a way that would get most people fired, my managers would simply say "that was fucking hilarious."
This is less about cleaning, but more just about general common sense that some people dont seem to have - i worked at a grocery store for two years and there were so many things wrong with it but the thing that annoyed me most, was when people would pick something up, look at it, then set it down somewhere else. I understand doing it if youve walked away and didnt wanna walk back to put it back, but people would pick up like a cucumber, walk 2 FEEEEEEET then set it into an entirely different produce bin that wouldve taken 1/4ths of a second to put back where you got it
@@DeepFriedKangaroo2 What you never took into account, these people are stressing working harder jobs then you, dealing with asshole of a magnitude you couldn't imagine, and then they run into you. You are lucky you never got your shit rightfully kicked in.
I had a government teacher in college that refused to teach anything about the government and instead taught a Sociology class all while claiming it was about government because people. Like, day one he told us straight up that he wasn't teach us about laws or government structure because we "should've learned about government in high school" and we had more foreign students in that class than any other class I had. I knew what he was teaching was Sociology because it was almost word for word the same material, I was taught in my highschool Sociology class. I found out later when I looked him up that he had been kicked out of 6 other colleges for doing the same thing.
Why does this dude have such a passion about sociology and a hatred for government that he allowed it to get him fired from 6 colleges????😂 just teach the subject you’re being hired to teach man…
I've got a story that's really close to Bob's except I did get revenge. I was on colorguard in high school (flag twirlers for the marching band) and we were kinda notoriously forgotten by our band director. I was the captain of the team, so I made all the routines myself and taught all the guard how to do them. The year I was captain the director forgot to tell us that they'd changed the music for the guard's feature song, and I had to change the entire routine and re-teach everyone the day before our first performance and what he said to me was "God, why're you so upset? It's not that big of a deal." So my revenge was that I never recruited anyone for the following year. I was a senior, and the only people left in the guard were all my friends and also seniors, and our guard director had retired the year before. They had no new members and nobody left who knew how to twirl. I also pretended that I was recruiting, and then at the end of the year I got the band director to sign my yearbook and very causally said "oh by the way I never got any members. It's not that big of a deal. Bye." And it felt SO good. In hindsight a marching band doesn't need a guard so it really didn't matter in the end, but damn if I didn't enjoy it in the moment. Hopefully someone can live vicariously through this story lol
hell yes! I worked in a cinema and it is unbelievable how much trash the people leave behind! they even bring stuff from home and then leave the empty bags or eat nuts and leave the shells everywhere. it is so infuriating.
It reminds me of a time in which this elderly couple that could walk and use their hands a little less than the average person, but they could still grab their tray and drinks and whatever. Anyways, after their approximate *HOUR LONG STAY* at a *FAST FOOD* restaurant, they would ALWAYS leave every bit of fucking trash on their table, not even on the tray most of the time, and usually at the table in front of the FUCKING TRASH CAN.
side note from the same restaurant, some teens shoved astro turf down our toilet?? Like not the grassy part but the rubbery under layer. We could not use that bathroom for a *week*
@@coledibiase5971, I know it's a bit late but consider this: Just because people are paid to do something does not mean you must make their job harder. Also consider if you leave a cart out of the return area that it might hit a car or person. This could cause serious damage depending on the weather (I imagine mostly higher wind speeds). You rushing causes carelessness, which could cause harm. Consider the worst case scenario of your otherwise innocuous actions.
I feel Bob's rage SO HARD when he describes the bathroom and sandwich bit. I used to work as a custodian at a corporate building where auditors work (the same building that my fiancé works at and they are the people who call you when you owe money from owning a business) and still to this day I will never understand why there would always be poop splattered not only all over the toilet but on the walls as well... it makes me think wtf was this person eating on a daily bases to cause this??? and the fact that they didn't have the HUMAN DECENCY to clean up their own shit. Like it scares me to think what the bathroom in their house looks like... And as for the trash and cart thing, I AGREE WITH THIS SO HARD. I always throw my trash away and put my shopping cart back no matter what the weather is like. I live in Alaska and I will DRAG THAT THING THROUGH THE 7 INCHES OF SNOW if I fucking have to! Don't worry Bob, I gotchu man. I gotchu.
Former. Store Carter here. I reeeeaaaaaaaly wish people would take 5 seconds to return their cart. I see so many people drop their cart at the sidewalk (5-10 feet from the actual cart return inside the doors.) But no, they can't be bothered. But worse than that, many people just leave carts in parking spots. And I have watched heavy winds blow that cart either into a car, or down the whole goddamn mall. Down 5 stores, where I gotta go and bring it back.
My parents always treated putting the cart away as kinda like a prize as we got out of helping sort bags and could just ride the cart like scooter back to where it belongs. And we grabbed stray carts on our way into a store. It definitely trained us to always put these back where they should be.
When I worked in a clothing store this mom and daughter ignored our no food or drink sign and brought their Starbucks in. The daughter dropped it and was going to ask how she could clean it up but her mother told her not to worry about it because that’s what the employees get paid to do. I’ve never handed a customer a mop so fast. She tried to say it wasn’t her job to which I then pointed at all the no food or drink signs around the store and said you didn’t follow the rules clean your mess up.
I was surprised to hear that Bob worked at Jimmy John's as I use to work at Jimmy John's too! I started when I was a sophomore in Highschool and worked there for about ~8 years. The most disgusting thing that happened while I was working there, about 1 year in, was that this couple came in with their child, got their food, and sat down. All good so far right? Well, about five minutes later we hear "Uh can we get some help. I come out from the back and the child is spitting up vomit like a fish from a water fountain. and of course, we went to clean it up. BUT THE PARENTS DIDN'T EVEN TRY MOVING THE KID!!!! They just stood there as if they were watching an exorcism! And what really got me was they had the AUDACITY to say "Can you hurry up it smells bad". I was so mad at them. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE!! They just waltzed out the door after we finish cleaning up.
My biggest pet peeve working at Jimmy John's was when I would hand someone their sandwich and receipt and they would THROW THE RECEIPT BACK AT ME instead of just turning to their right and throwing it in the trash RIGHT NEXT TO THEM.
YES people don’t realize most fast food places require you to give out receipts. I worked a drive thru and would constantly have recipes thrown in my face… like you really can’t just wait a few minutes until you’re home to throw it away?
As someone who wants to make this world a better place but is also a food service worker when bob said “humanity doesn’t deserve to exist. I changed my perspective just from reminding myself” I felt that so fucking much omfg.
15:25 Okay, so I haven't finished the podcast, but this here makes my blood boil. What that band director did was absolutely unacceptable. What he did is the perfect way to lose a section. And he did that to the SUSAPHONES, THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION OF THE MARCHING BAND. It's already bad enough that he called out an individual on the intercom, even if it was a section leader. But he then went on to not only bash the entire section, but THEN threatened to replace him? Bruh, no you ain't cus the entire Susa section probably would've left at that point. Band ties are strong, especially in a section, and I wouldn't hesitate to follow my section leader out if they decided to quit right there and then. I guess I'm also more emotionally invested because I'm a low brass boy myself, having been a low brass section leader for my high school band while also playing Susa, but jesus that story makes me angry.
I felt that a lot lol. I did color guard during marching, but was low brass during concert season, and I absolutely understand where Bob's coming from. It is extremely difficult to get low brass folk to focus (although in my experience, Trombones are more disruptive imo), and I have the upmost respect for any and all LB section leaders that can manage to even vaguely keep their section in check.
One of our lesser players was called out in a similar manner and he was in a sour mood and he TOSSED the sousaphone a good 2 meters at least. It broke, being a plastic and nickel Jupiter, and all of ours were similarly ramshackle but the suddenness and subsequent destruction of such an instrument completely stunned us. Have no idea if he got in trouble or not but he stayed in our section so I'm guessing his family just paid it off or something.
I worked at a sub shop too. ITS AWFUL! I had someone spray an entire can of ax body spray in BOTH single person bathrooms the even employees have to use, he came up to me bought a bag of chips (about $1.30), kept trying to grab his wallet but couldnt because "it kept zapping (him)", paid with a $20 bill, threw the money at me, SCREAMED, left (didnt even take his change) the building, then proceeded to strip and rub his butt against our front window I wish i was over exaggerating
@@wolfiemuse we werent sure if it was drugs or if it was some sort of mental illness but our best guess was probably both. I thought he was high off of the axe body spray (like he might have huffed it). Either way i went to the bathrooms after he left to make sure there were no exposed needles (it wouldnt be the first time someone had shot up in our bathrooms).
@@nicolereynolds4424 good on you for checking. I apologize on behalf of that guy - I was an opiate addict for over ten years and have been clean for about four now. I never did anything nearly that insane but I’m sure I pissed some people off without meaning to.
@@wolfiemuse you dont have to apologize for others. Congratulations on 4 years clean! I understand thats a very hard fight. I worked in a sub shop- i get it. Some of my coworkers were addicts (both recovering and current). I know life is tough so try not to judge to harshly. Everyone has their stories and reasons. Keep up the hard work of staying clean :)!
"I LIVE off 'fuck you' energy". Oh same. Recently my boss' assistant got my overtime privileges revoked for a particular job function (because she assumed I was bad at it and not that she didn't train me properly). She gained the advantage and worked overtime the evening before I learned this. As soon as I read the emails I worked at such a speed that I surpassed the time limit and made sure there wasn't a. Single. Thing. Left. To warrant overtime. If I couldn't have OT no one could, lmao.
22:46 "On a channel that will not be mention" Sorry Mark. Unnus Annus, in the video where Ethan and mark went to the Hynotherapist, Mark also talked a bit about him being put down because someone else would do better than him in years to come. Nice to get a more detailed version here! The channel may be gone but not my memories! (Or he could be referring to another channel entirely that I don't know of)
As a fellow bandmate who's had to deal with the sheer bafflement that comes with both rowdy sections and disrespectful moments, teacher and students alike, Bob's story hit *home*
Bob comments how he doesn't really have and "how dare you" stories, but they literally made an episode called "Bob's Fridge" where he was so unbelievably angry that he was about to kill the delivery people
"I have never wronged anybody" *Flashbacks to Mark teasing the everloving shit out of us while watching In Space Trailer 100 times without lore reveals*
34 years old... Still hold grudges toward School Teacher/Coaches, even though I almost never hold grudges in anything... I absolutely LOVED SPORTS, and I will admit in some sports I was a late bloomer. Long story short, I went from being an All-star/travel league in Soccer + BaseBall to a Bigger Rich School. They seperated us into 2 fields for soccer, I scored 3 goals (we won 4-1) in a hour scrimmage. Not only was I cut, they didn't know my name. I usually kept my mouth shut but I was so angry I actually said "But I scored 3 of our 4 teams goals" His response was I have bad foot work and was just in the right place at the right time. I don't know if that was worse, or being the only Baseball player cut on a team... When I knew statistically I was better than at least half the team, due to playing in the towns league my 1st year with them. The coach saw how badly I wanted to be on the team, and offered me a manager spot. In my mind, I thought i could practice... This prick teacher told me I wasnt allowed to practice and basically was a bat boy. I will never forgive these Rich School teachers who ruined my high school years. I wish my parents were more involved, I know I'm 34, but If I ever have a kid who plays sports, i will make sure they dont take advantage of them. Those were valuable years to learn to be teamates, make friends at a new school, learn how to branch out... Instead, I isolated and played on the computer.
I've worked so many retail jobs and this is the truest crap I've ever heard. Why are the people that shop in retail usually completely mental or so so so lazy they leave trash cups by the soda fountain machines!!! THE TRASH CAN IS RIGHT UNDER THE FOUNTAINS! JUST THROW THE CUP OR LID OR STRAW WRAPPER AWAY!!!!!! When I use to work at Krogers and Walmart I judged people based on if they put their cart away. If they didn't I hated them. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!? WHO WERE THEIR PARENTS!!!!???
I love how Bob started out so calm and saying "I don't care for revenge" but then he just slowly got angrier and angrier as he recalled his retail experiences. My only regret is that I didn't get revenge on my old manager. He did this push where everybody had to work super hard to get ahead, but he wasn't ordering new stock so there was going to be this huge backlog and then we'd be back to square one. So, one day when I was alone, I reordered the stock, and he was furious and tried to write me up. I was super done and looking to move stores so I didn't care, but the process was being recorded by an independent adjudicator, and I wish I'd said, "well, maybe if you were doing your job, then maybe I wouldn't have had to do it for you." My one regret. ... that and being an a-hole when I was a kid.
Winning Wade, Masterful Mark and Based Bob are the best Titles I have never heard of before and didn’t know I needed to hear them until I did. Great Intro!!!
Bob talking about his experience in Retail is so near and dear to my heart. GOD! Some customers belong in a giant pit in the floor to never return to the sunlight, damn it! D:
Seems like proper upbringing is severely lacking in the world lately. My parents still taught me those values. Don't know where that went wrong along the way for the rest of mankind...
My parents made returning the cart a reward. Because that was the only time we could go as fast as possible with it. So I still get a little excited returning the cart as an adult.
Agreed. I’m 30 and I do this also. I even straighten the carts if it’s not super fucked already, but I’ve done it when it was super fucked a few times too
I felt Bob's Fast food rant on a spiritual level. We had a bunch of kids come in on a bus the one day, and they put all their trash on the table and *threw out the plastic trays*.
41:00 I hate to be the one to say it, but I'm 99.9% sure that was someone removing drugs or other paraphernalia from their rectum... It's painfully obvious that's what happened honestly, that's why he needed a straw (to reach things yo9u know) and why there was blood everywhere, why you couldn't see where he was bleeding from, and why there was blood on the mirror and sink (he probably tried to use the mirror to see his behind as if that would make it easier). That's messed up but that's the most likely answer to what happened, those people will do some disgusting things just to make $20 or get a quick high. The rectum is a notorious hiding place for illegal substances, and it's VERY dangerous to put things there because they can go deeper and get stuck or even lost (he could have LOST the item and been digging around in there causing more damage and maybe even gave up because he couldn't find it again), and the skin lining the rectum is extremely fragile and thin and tears easily, another reason that lots of blood can come out. And you really shouldn't have had to clean that, that sucks, there should be a biohazard policy for things like that because that's gross and kinda dangerous too.
My how dare you highschool moment was in 9th grade I was thrown against my will into a band class and initially while I was confused I was still interested in seeing the class through and learning to play an instrument since that was something my siblings did. But the thing was that the teacher basically refused to teach us. Since his advanced and basic class had been compressed by the system, he only cared about the students who could already play and would be in the marching band. Every now and then he would teach us some "music history" which really meant he made us copy down definitions word for word so that we could then rewrite those definitions from our notes for the tests. The rest of the time he stuck us in seats with nothing to do but sit and stare into nothing and on several occasions when one of us would eventually pass out he would yell at us for sleeping in his class.
Sounds like my old choir teacher. Only that teacher mainly favorited only two students, one boy and one girl. Whichever ones sounds closest to a "Disney Prince and Princess" as we put it. Anyone else was largely ignored. Even kids who were amazing singers. Didn't matter how much time you spent improving yourself or how long you've been doing choir under him. My friend spent six year under him and an amazing jazz singer. Loves music so much that they did every band and choir thing possible. Didn't matter. To the point where during their senior year, he took the music they brought to him as they wanted to perform for competition and gave it to one of his favorites. Their biggest regret come graduation was that they didn't quit choir like many others and switched to doing musicals in the theater department. That teacher was fired not long after we graduated for verbally lashing out at a female student (I believe he also said something inappropriate about how she was dressed?). His years of awards at competitions couldn't protect him anymore. And more importantly I know he's no longer a teacher.
Omg… this podcast can make me go from vibrating in the bed laughing and my boyfriend is worried for me, to me coughing my lungs out from laughing too much 😂🤣 i love this 🥰🥰
something that annoys me is going to like Whole Foods or Natural Grocers where people go specifically to spend more money on "greener" and "better for the environment" products, and they ALL throw their receipts on the ground when they get out to the parking lot. Or they eat their Superfood Chia Protein Bar and then toss the wrapper into some nearby bushes. Like why don't you just go to Walmart? Why even shop at a "green" retailer if you're not going to make any effort to clean up your garbage as you leave? It's so counterintuitive it blows my mind.
It is super contrary, but I think I might have an insight into the psychology of why people do that. Often, we feel like we can “reward” ourselves for eating well or doing the right thing, and the reward often totally counteracts whatever good thing you did before. It happens with people in the grocery store when they buy fruits and veggies a lot, they then justify getting something horribly unhealthy afterwards due to it. So then if you put this whole idea together, put a green grocery store somewhere, and chances are, that’s gonna happen on several occasions.
Mark, you are right about the damn grocery carts! Love this podcast, and I can say that because I never have liked a podcast before this and yall are the only one I listen to!
LOL Wade at first saying he's got nothing and then coming back in later with the best revenge stories he just so happened to remember is great ALSO WADE you should buy a small camper trailer, paint "PEENHOUSE" on the side of it and turn it into a recording studio for the three of you in Cincinnati
On the cart/customer service front- I remember working at a grocery store- every morning you had to go around after 8 and pick up all the half-full coffee cups left behind everywhere by the early morning customers who couldn't bother walking to a trash can. And don't get me started on people changing their mind on refridgerated and frozen goods and just abandoning them on the shelves- including one who decided to stash a turkey behind a bunch of cereal.
Literally just dropped my whole program because the director/main teacher was the absolute worst at communication and refused to be corrected. He'd get feedback privately, and then in class invalidate the feedback to the whole cohort, and then change absolutely nothing. Nothing is worse than feeling like it doesnt matter how hard you work, your teacher is going to just do whatever he wants.
Bro I’m currently working as a cart pusher and this sums up my entire opinion. The cart thing is not even the worst of it. People will just squeeze there cars past you as your actively trying to get out of there way. The will power it takes to not hit them with carts is immense.
I was second-hand infuriated on behalf of each of you in turn for each of your stories. My favorite episode so far! (I'm going through them from start to finish).
WAIT...how dare you Bob! In the last episode you had just gone on a rant on how you just plastered that bathroom at the gas-station with your shit from your spoiled ground beef...and in this episode, the literal next one you are raging about what kind of person could do such a thing!
Bobs rant about people who don’t put their store cart back was phenomenal and soooo true. Also very true about the massive amounts of garbage and people littering, it’s legit infuriating. People are jagoffs, I drive past and I see 2 ducks swimming in a pond when the pond has a bunch of garbage in it and on the outside of it. Made me sooooooo mad. 😡
I have a similar story to Bob's where I was in like 9th grade band, and you weren't allowed to join the band until second semester because first semester was just for the marching band. And to join the band again second semester you had to do a solo in front of the whole class. Now my anxiety had been very bad that year and having to perform by myself in front of everyone stressed me out to the point that I cried in front of the whole class (it ended up fine, I got into the class). A few weeks later we were rehearsing for a concert and the director moved one of the kids that was supposed to be playing in my section to help someone else, so it ended up being just me cuz there was only two of us. The director deadass looked at me and goes "do you mind if he moves over there or are you going to have another unnecessary, attention seeking panic attack again" my response was just "no it's fine, but you're down a woodwind now" and packed up my shit and left the class
the fact Mark broke out the shopping cart theory (referentially) in the same episode he said he lives off Fuck You Energy *chefs kiss* per-fucking-fection Love that they finally pushed this onto YT.
When Bob started talking about his time in Jimmy Johns, I related to him so much. Back when I was working in McDonalds, I was what Bob was in Jimmy Johns. I was not the happiest worker there, but I did my job and I did my job well. McDonalds was not a great place to work at. It’s under staff most of the time, whenever they actually OVER staff the place(which was rear) a majority of the time you really have nothing to do, I was the kinda of guy the manager will have do almost everything, they only hire a bunch kids; meaning we have very few adults/young adults for closing. McDonald's was terrible.
As someone who's worked with food and retail, one of those places being united dairy farmers, I am reliving all the memories I have working in those jobs
I worked over nights at a truck stop for a spell. The 1 main difference to remember about a truck stop compared to a gas station is there are showers for truckers. We had to clean and wipe down the shower stall after each use to make sure it was ready for who ever needed it next. The things I had to clean in my 10 months of working there..... I lost a lot of faith in humanity. Certain "bodily fluids" that you'd be disturbed to find in private shower stalls didn't even make my top 5 list of the worst things I dealt with.
I am what you call a "passive aggressive" driver. I typically will go about five miles over the speed limit, unless I spot a cop, which I'll slow down to the speed limit. However, if you are driving right on my bumper while I am going 60 in a 55, I will PURPOSELY slow down to 55. I gave you five miles to just follow me at a safe distance, but that wasn't enough for you, so now you get NOTHING. Sure, it gets me to my destination slower, but it is rather satisfying to make someone else learn they need to drive safe. A CAR'S LENGTH IS THE GOLDEN RULE OF DRIVING.
On the shipping cart topic, I have a story of my own. I went to this small town to help a friend move and we needed to get some bungie cables to hold a tarp around his stuff. I went to Walmart and spent like 20 minutes trying to find a parking spot because it was full of shopping carts that were tipped over. Turns out that this walmart didn't have any cart return spots, so everyone just leaves their cart and tips it over so it can't roll around. If you want to park pretty much anywhere, you have to get out and move the cart to park and then you just take that cart inside with you. Needless to say, I never went back to that town again
As soon as you mentioned the grocery carts, I walked past a “enter brand” cart sitting in the middle of a grass patch next to my local mall. Good timing.
So, I was super tall for my age when I was in school, and I always worried that I would be made out to be a bully if I did something to anyone and because of that I kinda became an easy target for bullies, but there was this one person who was just terrible to me for no reason other than the fact that I looked like an ogre (granted I DID look like an ogre). She would belittle me in front of any girls I was trying to talk to, she would follow me for a good portion of my walk home and talk shit all up in my ear and just drove me crazy. I ended up moving away for like 4 years, and while I was gone I actually gained a lot of confidence without someone in my ear telling me that I was nothing. I worked out, constantly, not for that reason but just because it felt right. I joined sports teams and finished school before moving back to my home town. I ran into her, being super fit, 6'2 and kind of an overconfident asshole. She was a meth addict living under a bridge and tried to get my number. I actually ended up helping her get a place to stay with a friend of mine and got her clean for a few weeks (she left the house, idk if she's still clean). Never did anything bad to her because I felt like life had done enough, but the satisfaction in my old bully hitting on me and asking for help was indescribable.
There is only one excuse I am willing to take about carts (I work at a store), and that is elderly people/people who have trouble walking/people who can't walk. Basically the handicap spot.

On the trash topic, When I was in 3rd grade I was in special education. In short I had learning disabilities in reading and writing and, when it was time to cover those topic in my class, I would go across the hall to a classroom that dedicated extra time to make sure I understood what I was learning. So one day we had a snack time before I had to go back to my normal classroom. As I was going out the door, instead of dropping my trash in the trash can BY THE DOOR, I dropped it in the hallway by the door. Ten minutes later my teachers pulled me aside and confronted me about like “Why did you do that?”. Even back then, I didn’t have an answer for them. I knew where trash went and I never did that before. My brain just decided that that was the spot I needed to drop it. Before you grill me, I current day always put my cart back and pick up trash even if it isn’t mine.
I don’t know if I’ve ever “gotten revenge” I generally take the approach of getting myself out of the bad situation or cutting the bad person out of my life (if possible) and letting karma catch up with them. I guess my “revenge” story would be when I was an associate at Walmart there was this much older man who started sexually harassing me and I reported him and actually followed up with management and was able to get him fired. It was difficult because of his age and he was a veteran, but the workplace was changing at that time to be more safe for women so it was the right time. And once it happened I had multiple people come up to me and thank me because he had harassed them as well for either their gender, their weight, or their race.
I knew a tuba player who was probably the most interesting person to have a conversation with. He once apparently had an entire 2 hour conversation with someone about country flags and when I wake up when I arrive back to the school (I was sleeping during the bus ride), I just hear “Ahhh, Napal”
Imagine Bob saying: "Sir, this is a Jimmy John's. You can either have the grumpy yet sober employee or a happy yet drunk employee. You cannot get the best of both."
My "how dare you" story: When I was in middle school, I ran track. Sprints, specifically, and relays. I was pretty good and I loved it. I injured myself one day by running and when I started limping to avoid the pain, the coach dismissed me, saying I couldn't run anymore. He said the pain I described was shin splints. So, he booted me off the team. Fast forward to high school. When I tried to join the track team, the coach told me my former coach had contacted him and told him to not allow me on the team, because I had shin splints. Mind you, I didn't have pain anymore when I ran, it was a one time injury. I didn't have shin splints. But these guys were intent on me not being on the team. So, with "fuck you" energy, I took all the physical education courses I could for four years and requested to "walk" with students who didn't want to play basketball or whatever. But I didn't walk. I sprinted like I'd never sprinted before and beat members of the actual track team. Every. Single. Time. Those coaches squashed my dream and I made sure to let them know they missed out on a brilliant runner.
Right because standing up for yourself and telling truth and pointing out their BuII and proving that you never had shin splints insisting on being part of the team and going over their heads to their bosses…..is FAR less effective
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 Apologies for my lack of communication skills, but I can't understand if this comment is in support of mine or not? 🤔 Either way, thanks for the reply 😊
I worked at a Deli for a year, and I have a few stories that still make me furious. On one of the last few days I worked there, I had a lady come up and ask for 3/4 of a pound of shaved corned beef. The problem was that the equipment we need to safely use the meat slicer was currently in the dishwasher, and it was past the time when we were supposed to start closing things down for the night. We tell her this and she says: "That's fine, I'm going to go talk to your manager." This woman walks up to the self-checkout area, talks to one of the people on staff about how we 'refused her service', and then the manager walks up to us and asks things like "When will the dishwasher be done? Are you done slicing meat? Is there another slicer you can use?" So we get the (wet) meat slicer equipment out and get ready to complete this god damn order. And while we're cutting it, the woman is acting sickly sweet (Smiling and saying thank you whenever she could. After the mini tantrum she pulled, I was so damn close to telling her to shut up.), when I finish slicing her meat (Which made the slicer absolutely covered in shavings and crap, so it had to be cleaned again), I looked her dead in the eye and told her "Just for future reference, we close things down at a specific time, that is the protocol we have to follow. We're not being mean to you or anything, we're just doing our jobs." She apologized, took her meat, and left. I feel a bit bad for being so angry at her, but the GALL she had. What was the manager going to do? Get back here and wash dishes?! If we can't do something, accept that fact and leave! We also gave free samples to customers, and since we have salads and stuff, we'd give people plastic utensils and plastic cups to have the sample. There was a trash can not even five feet away in the dining area, and also, we're not allowed to take used utensils or cups back behind the counter, health and contamination and all that. Every single day, there'd be at least one person who casually put their used utensil/cup back on the counter, and every now and then I'd tell them about the trash can behind them. Most people did so like responsible citizens, but there was this one woman, THIS ONE CUSTOMER, who told me, to my face: "Well, there's a trash can behind you too, so you can take care of it." The bitch smiled sweetly and walked away. The customer next to her looked at her, then looked at me like 'wow'. It's not that fucking hard to THROW AWAY A PLASTIC FORK AND A CUP. It's a health precaution, just throw away your plastic and don't be a bitch when we tell you to clean up after yourselves. Sorry for the essay, but I understand you guys. People are fucking disgusting, it's not hard to be a decent human being.
Bob... I work retail, and just going out in general: I *legit* feel the same about bathrooms, carts, and trash. I question EVERYday, how and why people are/do the things they do that is disgusting, gross for others, and just plain *so* lazy for the *smallest* of things. I biggest pet peeve: is why people do not put things back while shopping *'where you found it'* and just set it down in the wrong spot- LITERALLY '2' SPOTS AWAY FROM WHERE IT SHOULD GO! BOB! The things you mention I *always* think about and wish to scream to the world just like this! Thank you for doing it in my place but by gosh you dont get the strong feelings of rage of agreement I have typing and listening to this haha. In a good way but also: (shouts with you)
My freshman year of highschool I had this math teacher for Algebra 1. This was her first year teaching and with the quality of said "teaching" it was probably her last. But every day I would walk into class and two of the more rowdy students would talk to themselves and this teacher would get so pissed off that they would stop teaching for the rest of the class period and just play class of clans at their desk. So I eventually just started to ignore the teacher even on the days she would actually teach and chose to teach myself Algebra 1 instead, since she practically never actually taught the class. On days she would actually teach I would've already finished learning the lesson for that day so I'd be playing on my ds or something. She'd get super pissed at me and would always call on me to answer questions she would have on the board. I'd answer them immediately and go back to my game. So many students failed her class that year that she was forced to either quit or get fired.
Early episode; In Australia, Fans are your friends XD In bobs marching band story, you should not ever call someone out in front of other people, like a boss to an employee in front of the whole team. No, pull them aside and tell them Wades teacher story is so awesome and fulfilling ^_^
24:10 I completely relate to Bob's stance in this discussion. I absolutely love people getting their just desserts and I don't shame anyone for feeling satisfied by witnessing such karma, but even if its a person who's genuinely been an absolute douche to me and has just made my life miserable, even then I still can't help but feel bad for them. Of course, that feeling goes away rather quickly when I think about it as simply just desserts, but knowing someone has done bad to you doesn't always help you feel better about seeing them on the low.
The only time I don't put the cart in the cart return, and this only happened like twice to maybe three times, was when aren't any cart returns and once because we had to rush home do to any accident at home. Even then I put them up on a curb so it couldn't roll all over the parking lot
I'm a bit late, but here we go. Some background: I'm an alumni that was in my school's top band and our marching band, and decided to go help the marching band for its first couple days. I observed as well as directly helping the students I saw struggling. I was staying out of the way of the instructors, and was trying my best to help students in the same way that alumni had helped me. Then, the assistant director pulled me over. If she had asked me to stop politely, I still would have been irate. She's never actually been in a band that I know of. All she does is logistics. I know how our band operates, and I know better than her what people currently need on the field when they're new, since I know a lot of them from when we worked with them as 8th graders. So despite the fact she didn't have much reason to say anything, if it was polite, I would just nod and say sorry for getting in the way. But she didn't ask politely. This woman, who is an asshole to anyone that isn't one of her favorites, that doesn't have the slightest clue what it's like to be on the field, and who really shouldn't be the assistant director of a band, calls me over and says in the bitchiest tone that I'm distracting the kids from the instructors that "she paid a lot of money for." (She didn't pay for them, and I doubt most of them are getting paid at all. Last year, 5/6 of the positions of our long term marching band staff were unpaid positions. People do it because they're passionate about music and getting kids to enjoy their time in band.) The problem is, aside from the tone, that she had no clue what I was doing. I was HELPING the director and the instructors set the block correctly. I was answering questions that kids had that they *weren't* going to the instructors for because they're freshman, and are terrified of the instructors. And those same instructors weren't bothered by it. If they were, they would have told me. I've worked with them and talked with them before. They're all very forward. They know me, and know I listen to them. Also, I was actively asking questions about helping, and they were telling me to do this or that. I was working WITH the section leaders so they could focus on teaching what they needed to. And here comes this woman, who was sitting in an air conditioned building, telling me I'm distracting the kids and that I needed to get off the field. Fun fact: I was not on the field. I was sitting at the sideline, getting a measurement for distances because it looked weird. I don't know if I was trying to help too much, but there was no direction being given. So I don't know what the fuck her problem was. Especially since I was one of several doing that exact thing. I know she doesn't like me, but I don't care. I was there to help the program. The ONLY person that was bothered was HER. Funny how that happens. I had fun in band, but if that's how people are treated by the AD, oh well. Guess it's time to move on. tldr: Bitchy assistant director that has never even been in a band tells me I need to leave a place I wasn't for a reason that didn't exist.
I had an English teacher that almost failed me. I went from my first teacher in college using my papers as a way to teach other students how to write and getting scholarships to the next year the next teacher was so bad I almost flunked. Hated her.
When someone's a jerk, that sucks. But when teachers are jerks, that's inexcusable.
I had a 2nd principal or something. that hated me *I' don't know why he did* he just hated me.
but I remember him walking up to me to tell me to put my phone away even though I leave right after where I was. but the way he looked around. you know the look you or others do when they do something that wasn't needed and they look around for something to hide it (It's so hard to explain) but that fucking pissed me off. I really a wanted to call him out on his shit buy I didnt.
It is i had a principle who hated me and found a bullshit Reason to suspend me for a month and make me take Tests in all Subjects i missed .i did and when i in Spite of this walked up at him in the leather coat wich he hated me for .on gratuation day and had to give me my degree i shaked his Hand and told him "now we are done old man" Flipped him the bird and left the Premisses .never saw an old dude turn perple in rage before or since
I went to a school where 3 in 4 teachers were practically unqualified for their job. Whether they were strict teachers, gentle types, horny foreigners or senile fossils, they all had at least one of the following issues:
- being *unable to assert themselves*
- wearing *indecent* clothing
- *hearing voices* and *punishing* the class for it
- being *sick* for the *majority* of each semester
- *ignoring the curriculum* completely
- basing *entire tests* on *their irrelevant interests*
- being *unable to speak* our mother tongue
- *drinking* on the job
- *mocking autistic students*
- *bullying students* into giving teachers *money*
- *sexually harrassing* female students
- *damaging rowdy students' property*
- *physically harming rowdy students*
Needless to say, we didn't receive nearly as much valuable education as we should have, and what little education we did receive was usually marred by the depressing atmosphere. I finally transferred to a better school the year before my A Levels. Looking back, only now do I realize how dysfunctional my previous school was. It wouldn't be farfetched to say that it had ruined my childhood. And in spite of the _"who gives a fuck"-attitude_ it made me adopt, I can't help but feel just a little bitter about it. These people were responsible for our mental growth, after all.
Besides, one of them still owes me twenty bucks.
modern education systems are fundamentally broken
I know all too well...

She was a tyrant and she deserves any future backlash.

Wade in regards to your “dude with straw in bathroom at United dairy farmers” story - I was an opiate addict for more than ten years. Larger straws (McDonald’s, etc) are often chosen for that specific purpose by addicts. Especially if he was doing pills- much larger quantities of crap has to be snorted. If anyone has had their wisdom teeth removed, you’ll know how big hydrocodone pills can be. Imagine breaking that into powder. It’s SO bad for your sinuses, your soft pallete, all of that soft tissue. And often, the fillers, non-active ingredients (*cough* Tylenol *cough*) and whatnot are just as bad for your sinuses as the drug itself.
From personal experience, I can tell you: my sinuses are destroyed. I’m clean and have been for about four years now, but I’m now horribly addicted to nasal sprays just to let me breathe. My nose bled often and it can happen all the sudden with little to no warning, and there were occasions that I was woozy from losing the amount of blood I did. It’s surprising how much blood your nasal blood vessels, capillaries, etc can put out.
If you need help, do yourself a favor. Look up a treatment center in your area. There are inpatient and outpatient clinics. Some as little as $13 a day, a methadone assisted recovery clinic helped me get clean and actually stay clean after many failed attempts on my own.
Congratulations for being clean! I hope You will have a good, healthy life and drugs will be nothing but a sad memory.

Im also a recovered addict and I knew exactly where the story was going when Wade said he took a straw to the bathroom. I remember doing that alot...although Im laughing at Wade being confused on how the guy used the straw lol they didnt even think about the concept of snapping/cutting a straw shorter
29:00 i'm so impressed, that's actually an excellent way to handle things. You didn't schemed revenge behind his back, you didn't yell and scream at him, you just said literally what was on your mind. That's communicating, he had some hard things to hear and he needed to hear them.
that’s how i try to handle any situation. if you handle something amicably, i don’t see how it can make an issue- a teacher is a person just like us and if it’s hard on them too, why not talk about it? i try not to be scared of my own superiors.
Bob's trash rant speaks to my soul. I had the *exact* same issues when I worked at a movie theater. The worst offenders were parents with children.
I got a small taste of it when I was a part of the lighting crew of our high school theater. A teacher and her young children were give permission to seat in the balcony. Normally only crew and cast are allowed there. And they brought candy with them. They were allowing their kids to just drop their candy trash on the floor, including syrupy lollipop sticks that clung to the floor. I knew I had to be the one to clean it up by hand because the janitors don't clean up there. I tricked them into going downstairs for the other half of the show because we had some performances staged in the seating area for that show.
When I came to the US, I got a job at Burger King where I worked for a little over 2 years. I came to hate customers with all my soul, and I would flog myself at home whenever I would enter an establishment as a customer. I decided I wasn't going to take their shit anymore, and I mean that literally and metaphorically. I became a staple of the small town I worked in. Some people hated me, some loved me. But one thing became widely accepted in this small town: If you come to Burger King on the Danish guy's shift, you better do two things. 1, be polite, and 2, clean up after yourself. If you didn't, there would be hell to pay.
Every time I raged at a customer in a way that would get most people fired, my managers would simply say "that was fucking hilarious."
Always be polite to people who serve you food
This is less about cleaning, but more just about general common sense that some people dont seem to have - i worked at a grocery store for two years and there were so many things wrong with it but the thing that annoyed me most, was when people would pick something up, look at it, then set it down somewhere else. I understand doing it if youve walked away and didnt wanna walk back to put it back, but people would pick up like a cucumber, walk 2 FEEEEEEET then set it into an entirely different produce bin that wouldve taken 1/4ths of a second to put back where you got it

I had a government teacher in college that refused to teach anything about the government and instead taught a Sociology class all while claiming it was about government because people. Like, day one he told us straight up that he wasn't teach us about laws or government structure because we "should've learned about government in high school" and we had more foreign students in that class than any other class I had. I knew what he was teaching was Sociology because it was almost word for word the same material, I was taught in my highschool Sociology class. I found out later when I looked him up that he had been kicked out of 6 other colleges for doing the same thing.
They let him be rehired at 5 other schools? By school #3 his teaching license should have been revoked.
Why does this dude have such a passion about sociology and a hatred for government that he allowed it to get him fired from 6 colleges????😂 just teach the subject you’re being hired to teach man…

I've got a story that's really close to Bob's except I did get revenge. I was on colorguard in high school (flag twirlers for the marching band) and we were kinda notoriously forgotten by our band director. I was the captain of the team, so I made all the routines myself and taught all the guard how to do them. The year I was captain the director forgot to tell us that they'd changed the music for the guard's feature song, and I had to change the entire routine and re-teach everyone the day before our first performance and what he said to me was "God, why're you so upset? It's not that big of a deal." So my revenge was that I never recruited anyone for the following year. I was a senior, and the only people left in the guard were all my friends and also seniors, and our guard director had retired the year before. They had no new members and nobody left who knew how to twirl. I also pretended that I was recruiting, and then at the end of the year I got the band director to sign my yearbook and very causally said "oh by the way I never got any members. It's not that big of a deal. Bye." And it felt SO good. In hindsight a marching band doesn't need a guard so it really didn't matter in the end, but damn if I didn't enjoy it in the moment. Hopefully someone can live vicariously through this story lol
Truly beautiful

Well done, well done
When Wade was ranting about people leaving their trash on tables, I felt that anger deep inside me lmao 🤣
That was Bob btw, not Wade. But yeah, I felt every single bit of rage in this episode ahah 🤣
hell yes! I worked in a cinema and it is unbelievable how much trash the people leave behind! they even bring stuff from home and then leave the empty bags or eat nuts and leave the shells everywhere. it is so infuriating.
It reminds me of a time in which this elderly couple that could walk and use their hands a little less than the average person, but they could still grab their tray and drinks and whatever. Anyways, after their approximate *HOUR LONG STAY* at a *FAST FOOD* restaurant, they would ALWAYS leave every bit of fucking trash on their table, not even on the tray most of the time, and usually at the table in front of the FUCKING TRASH CAN.
side note from the same restaurant, some teens shoved astro turf down our toilet?? Like not the grassy part but the rubbery under layer. We could not use that bathroom for a *week*
I know that feeling well
Thank god someone talks about the God forsaken ANIMALS that don't have the mental capacity to put their carts back or control their ass lol.
dont insult animals like that, a lot of animals would be smart enough to put their cart away if they knew they were supposed to
I actully worked at safeway and my job was to collect all the carts and my God people don't know how to even put there carts in the cart thing
As someone who puts their cart back 99% of the time, sometimes you are in a hurry, people literally get paid to put them back, get over it.
@@coledibiase5971
Little sensitive are we?
@@coledibiase5971, I know it's a bit late but consider this: Just because people are paid to do something does not mean you must make their job harder. Also consider if you leave a cart out of the return area that it might hit a car or person. This could cause serious damage depending on the weather (I imagine mostly higher wind speeds). You rushing causes carelessness, which could cause harm. Consider the worst case scenario of your otherwise innocuous actions.
That "fuck you energy" is exactly how I get through my job every single night.
I feel Bob's rage SO HARD when he describes the bathroom and sandwich bit. I used to work as a custodian at a corporate building where auditors work (the same building that my fiancé works at and they are the people who call you when you owe money from owning a business) and still to this day I will never understand why there would always be poop splattered not only all over the toilet but on the walls as well... it makes me think wtf was this person eating on a daily bases to cause this??? and the fact that they didn't have the HUMAN DECENCY to clean up their own shit. Like it scares me to think what the bathroom in their house looks like... And as for the trash and cart thing, I AGREE WITH THIS SO HARD. I always throw my trash away and put my shopping cart back no matter what the weather is like. I live in Alaska and I will DRAG THAT THING THROUGH THE 7 INCHES OF SNOW if I fucking have to! Don't worry Bob, I gotchu man. I gotchu.
Former. Store Carter here. I reeeeaaaaaaaly wish people would take 5 seconds to return their cart.
I see so many people drop their cart at the sidewalk (5-10 feet from the actual cart return inside the doors.)
But no, they can't be bothered.
But worse than that, many people just leave carts in parking spots. And I have watched heavy winds blow that cart either into a car, or down the whole goddamn mall. Down 5 stores, where I gotta go and bring it back.
My parents always treated putting the cart away as kinda like a prize as we got out of helping sort bags and could just ride the cart like scooter back to where it belongs. And we grabbed stray carts on our way into a store. It definitely trained us to always put these back where they should be.
I like shopping carts. I pretend like I'm drifting as i turn the corner
One of my favorite parts of the pod is when Bob goes on a passionate tirade about something frustrating and/or infuriating he's experienced.
When I worked in a clothing store this mom and daughter ignored our no food or drink sign and brought their Starbucks in. The daughter dropped it and was going to ask how she could clean it up but her mother told her not to worry about it because that’s what the employees get paid to do. I’ve never handed a customer a mop so fast. She tried to say it wasn’t her job to which I then pointed at all the no food or drink signs around the store and said you didn’t follow the rules clean your mess up.
I was surprised to hear that Bob worked at Jimmy John's as I use to work at Jimmy John's too! I started when I was a sophomore in Highschool and worked there for about ~8 years. The most disgusting thing that happened while I was working there, about 1 year in, was that this couple came in with their child, got their food, and sat down. All good so far right? Well, about five minutes later we hear "Uh can we get some help. I come out from the back and the child is spitting up vomit like a fish from a water fountain. and of course, we went to clean it up. BUT THE PARENTS DIDN'T EVEN TRY MOVING THE KID!!!! They just stood there as if they were watching an exorcism!
And what really got me was they had the AUDACITY to say "Can you hurry up it smells bad". I was so mad at them. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE!! They just waltzed out the door after we finish cleaning up.
My biggest pet peeve working at Jimmy John's was when I would hand someone their sandwich and receipt and they would THROW THE RECEIPT BACK AT ME instead of just turning to their right and throwing it in the trash RIGHT NEXT TO THEM.
YES people don’t realize most fast food places require you to give out receipts.
I worked a drive thru and would constantly have recipes thrown in my face… like you really can’t just wait a few minutes until you’re home to throw it away?
Anger... Rising...
As someone who wants to make this world a better place but is also a food service worker when bob said “humanity doesn’t deserve to exist. I changed my perspective just from reminding myself”
I felt that so fucking much omfg.

Okay, so I haven't finished the podcast, but this here makes my blood boil. What that band director did was absolutely unacceptable. What he did is the perfect way to lose a section. And he did that to the SUSAPHONES, THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION OF THE MARCHING BAND. It's already bad enough that he called out an individual on the intercom, even if it was a section leader. But he then went on to not only bash the entire section, but THEN threatened to replace him? Bruh, no you ain't cus the entire Susa section probably would've left at that point. Band ties are strong, especially in a section, and I wouldn't hesitate to follow my section leader out if they decided to quit right there and then. I guess I'm also more emotionally invested because I'm a low brass boy myself, having been a low brass section leader for my high school band while also playing Susa, but jesus that story makes me angry.
I felt that a lot lol. I did color guard during marching, but was low brass during concert season, and I absolutely understand where Bob's coming from. It is extremely difficult to get low brass folk to focus (although in my experience, Trombones are more disruptive imo), and I have the upmost respect for any and all LB section leaders that can manage to even vaguely keep their section in check.
One of our lesser players was called out in a similar manner and he was in a sour mood and he TOSSED the sousaphone a good 2 meters at least. It broke, being a plastic and nickel Jupiter, and all of ours were similarly ramshackle but the suddenness and subsequent destruction of such an instrument completely stunned us. Have no idea if he got in trouble or not but he stayed in our section so I'm guessing his family just paid it off or something.
As someone who works at a grocery store hearing Mark say that people who don't put carts away are trash makes me feel very comforted
"delicious bed" hits different after watching the Grounded episodes with "I'm so tired I could eat my pillow"
I worked at a sub shop too. ITS AWFUL!
I had someone spray an entire can of ax body spray in BOTH single person bathrooms the even employees have to use, he came up to me bought a bag of chips (about $1.30), kept trying to grab his wallet but couldnt because "it kept zapping (him)", paid with a $20 bill, threw the money at me, SCREAMED, left (didnt even take his change) the building, then proceeded to strip and rub his butt against our front window
I wish i was over exaggerating
What... the... Fuck...
I can promise you with almost absolute certainty - that person was high on some illicit substance that is not marijuana
@@wolfiemuse we werent sure if it was drugs or if it was some sort of mental illness but our best guess was probably both. I thought he was high off of the axe body spray (like he might have huffed it). Either way i went to the bathrooms after he left to make sure there were no exposed needles (it wouldnt be the first time someone had shot up in our bathrooms).
@@nicolereynolds4424 good on you for checking. I apologize on behalf of that guy - I was an opiate addict for over ten years and have been clean for about four now. I never did anything nearly that insane but I’m sure I pissed some people off without meaning to.
@@wolfiemuse you dont have to apologize for others. Congratulations on 4 years clean! I understand thats a very hard fight. I worked in a sub shop- i get it. Some of my coworkers were addicts (both recovering and current). I know life is tough so try not to judge to harshly. Everyone has their stories and reasons. Keep up the hard work of staying clean :)!
"I LIVE off 'fuck you' energy". Oh same. Recently my boss' assistant got my overtime privileges revoked for a particular job function (because she assumed I was bad at it and not that she didn't train me properly). She gained the advantage and worked overtime the evening before I learned this. As soon as I read the emails I worked at such a speed that I surpassed the time limit and made sure there wasn't a. Single. Thing. Left. To warrant overtime. If I couldn't have OT no one could, lmao.
"the ultimate test of being a nice person is whether or not you put your cart away at the parking lot"
the Cart Narc would agree
22:46 "On a channel that will not be mention" Sorry Mark. Unnus Annus, in the video where Ethan and mark went to the Hynotherapist, Mark also talked a bit about him being put down because someone else would do better than him in years to come. Nice to get a more detailed version here! The channel may be gone but not my memories!
(Or he could be referring to another channel entirely that I don't know of)
As a fellow bandmate who's had to deal with the sheer bafflement that comes with both rowdy sections and disrespectful moments, teacher and students alike, Bob's story hit *home*
I was in the color guard, not the band, but all the directors for both parts were just such assholes sometimes. To *high schoolers* no less
Bob comments how he doesn't really have and "how dare you" stories, but they literally made an episode called "Bob's Fridge" where he was so unbelievably angry that he was about to kill the delivery people
The return of "indignent rage Bob"
"I have never wronged anybody"
*Flashbacks to Mark teasing the everloving shit out of us while watching In Space Trailer 100 times without lore reveals*
34 years old... Still hold grudges toward School Teacher/Coaches, even though I almost never hold grudges in anything...
I absolutely LOVED SPORTS, and I will admit in some sports I was a late bloomer. Long story short, I went from being an All-star/travel league in Soccer + BaseBall to a Bigger Rich School. They seperated us into 2 fields for soccer, I scored 3 goals (we won 4-1) in a hour scrimmage. Not only was I cut, they didn't know my name. I usually kept my mouth shut but I was so angry I actually said "But I scored 3 of our 4 teams goals" His response was I have bad foot work and was just in the right place at the right time.
I don't know if that was worse, or being the only Baseball player cut on a team... When I knew statistically I was better than at least half the team, due to playing in the towns league my 1st year with them. The coach saw how badly I wanted to be on the team, and offered me a manager spot. In my mind, I thought i could practice... This prick teacher told me I wasnt allowed to practice and basically was a bat boy. I will never forgive these Rich School teachers who ruined my high school years.
I wish my parents were more involved, I know I'm 34, but If I ever have a kid who plays sports, i will make sure they dont take advantage of them. Those were valuable years to learn to be teamates, make friends at a new school, learn how to branch out... Instead, I isolated and played on the computer.
I've worked so many retail jobs and this is the truest crap I've ever heard. Why are the people that shop in retail usually completely mental or so so so lazy they leave trash cups by the soda fountain machines!!! THE TRASH CAN IS RIGHT UNDER THE FOUNTAINS! JUST THROW THE CUP OR LID OR STRAW WRAPPER AWAY!!!!!! When I use to work at Krogers and Walmart I judged people based on if they put their cart away. If they didn't I hated them. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!? WHO WERE THEIR PARENTS!!!!???
I love how Bob started out so calm and saying "I don't care for revenge" but then he just slowly got angrier and angrier as he recalled his retail experiences.
My only regret is that I didn't get revenge on my old manager. He did this push where everybody had to work super hard to get ahead, but he wasn't ordering new stock so there was going to be this huge backlog and then we'd be back to square one. So, one day when I was alone, I reordered the stock, and he was furious and tried to write me up. I was super done and looking to move stores so I didn't care, but the process was being recorded by an independent adjudicator, and I wish I'd said, "well, maybe if you were doing your job, then maybe I wouldn't have had to do it for you."
My one regret.
... that and being an a-hole when I was a kid.
Winning Wade, Masterful Mark and Based Bob are the best Titles I have never heard of before and didn’t know I needed to hear them until I did.
Great Intro!!!
Bob talking about his experience in Retail is so near and dear to my heart.
GOD! Some customers belong in a giant pit in the floor to never return to the sunlight, damn it! D:
My mom raised me to always: hold the door open, say "Please and Thank you", and to return the cart.
Seems like proper upbringing is severely lacking in the world lately. My parents still taught me those values. Don't know where that went wrong along the way for the rest of mankind...
My parents made returning the cart a reward. Because that was the only time we could go as fast as possible with it. So I still get a little excited returning the cart as an adult.
@@wahlflower3517 That's a clever way to do it. And seems like it's paid off.
@@8eewee I'm definitely doing the same if I have kids.
Agreed. I’m 30 and I do this also. I even straighten the carts if it’s not super fucked already, but I’ve done it when it was super fucked a few times too
I felt Bob's Fast food rant on a spiritual level.
We had a bunch of kids come in on a bus the one day, and they put all their trash on the table and *threw out the plastic trays*.
As someone that works in a grocery store, I felt every bit of this.
41:00 I hate to be the one to say it, but I'm 99.9% sure that was someone removing drugs or other paraphernalia from their rectum... It's painfully obvious that's what happened honestly, that's why he needed a straw (to reach things yo9u know) and why there was blood everywhere, why you couldn't see where he was bleeding from, and why there was blood on the mirror and sink (he probably tried to use the mirror to see his behind as if that would make it easier). That's messed up but that's the most likely answer to what happened, those people will do some disgusting things just to make $20 or get a quick high. The rectum is a notorious hiding place for illegal substances, and it's VERY dangerous to put things there because they can go deeper and get stuck or even lost (he could have LOST the item and been digging around in there causing more damage and maybe even gave up because he couldn't find it again), and the skin lining the rectum is extremely fragile and thin and tears easily, another reason that lots of blood can come out. And you really shouldn't have had to clean that, that sucks, there should be a biohazard policy for things like that because that's gross and kinda dangerous too.
Oh wow 😬
I came to the comments hoping for an explanation. I got one. I’m not happy about it, but I got it. Thanks for the info.
Well, I was stuck between this or some sick urethra play, so I can't say I'm too disgusted knowing the most likely answer
i hope these people find a better life
I was thinking coke but that does make sense lol
My how dare you highschool moment was in 9th grade I was thrown against my will into a band class and initially while I was confused I was still interested in seeing the class through and learning to play an instrument since that was something my siblings did. But the thing was that the teacher basically refused to teach us. Since his advanced and basic class had been compressed by the system, he only cared about the students who could already play and would be in the marching band. Every now and then he would teach us some "music history" which really meant he made us copy down definitions word for word so that we could then rewrite those definitions from our notes for the tests. The rest of the time he stuck us in seats with nothing to do but sit and stare into nothing and on several occasions when one of us would eventually pass out he would yell at us for sleeping in his class.
Sounds like my old choir teacher. Only that teacher mainly favorited only two students, one boy and one girl. Whichever ones sounds closest to a "Disney Prince and Princess" as we put it. Anyone else was largely ignored. Even kids who were amazing singers. Didn't matter how much time you spent improving yourself or how long you've been doing choir under him. My friend spent six year under him and an amazing jazz singer. Loves music so much that they did every band and choir thing possible. Didn't matter. To the point where during their senior year, he took the music they brought to him as they wanted to perform for competition and gave it to one of his favorites. Their biggest regret come graduation was that they didn't quit choir like many others and switched to doing musicals in the theater department.
That teacher was fired not long after we graduated for verbally lashing out at a female student (I believe he also said something inappropriate about how she was dressed?). His years of awards at competitions couldn't protect him anymore. And more importantly I know he's no longer a teacher.
Omg… this podcast can make me go from vibrating in the bed laughing and my boyfriend is worried for me, to me coughing my lungs out from laughing too much 😂🤣 i love this 🥰🥰
something that annoys me is going to like Whole Foods or Natural Grocers where people go specifically to spend more money on "greener" and "better for the environment" products, and they ALL throw their receipts on the ground when they get out to the parking lot. Or they eat their Superfood Chia Protein Bar and then toss the wrapper into some nearby bushes. Like why don't you just go to Walmart? Why even shop at a "green" retailer if you're not going to make any effort to clean up your garbage as you leave? It's so counterintuitive it blows my mind.
It is super contrary, but I think I might have an insight into the psychology of why people do that. Often, we feel like we can “reward” ourselves for eating well or doing the right thing, and the reward often totally counteracts whatever good thing you did before. It happens with people in the grocery store when they buy fruits and veggies a lot, they then justify getting something horribly unhealthy afterwards due to it. So then if you put this whole idea together, put a green grocery store somewhere, and chances are, that’s gonna happen on several occasions.
Mark, you are right about the damn grocery carts! Love this podcast, and I can say that because I never have liked a podcast before this and yall are the only one I listen to!
LOL Wade at first saying he's got nothing and then coming back in later with the best revenge stories he just so happened to remember is great
ALSO WADE you should buy a small camper trailer, paint "PEENHOUSE" on the side of it and turn it into a recording studio for the three of you in Cincinnati
On the cart/customer service front- I remember working at a grocery store- every morning you had to go around after 8 and pick up all the half-full coffee cups left behind everywhere by the early morning customers who couldn't bother walking to a trash can. And don't get me started on people changing their mind on refridgerated and frozen goods and just abandoning them on the shelves- including one who decided to stash a turkey behind a bunch of cereal.
Literally just dropped my whole program because the director/main teacher was the absolute worst at communication and refused to be corrected. He'd get feedback privately, and then in class invalidate the feedback to the whole cohort, and then change absolutely nothing. Nothing is worse than feeling like it doesnt matter how hard you work, your teacher is going to just do whatever he wants.
I don't like podcasts usually, but this....this podcast is just pure gold! And I love it!
It's so disturbingly true how working retail can absolutely destroy your soul of any faith in humanity smh
Bro I’m currently working as a cart pusher and this sums up my entire opinion. The cart thing is not even the worst of it. People will just squeeze there cars past you as your actively trying to get out of there way. The will power it takes to not hit them with carts is immense.
Oh and people leave half eaten caines and dirty diapers in the shopping carts
I was second-hand infuriated on behalf of each of you in turn for each of your stories. My favorite episode so far! (I'm going through them from start to finish).
That moment when you tell off a teacher that deserves it is beautiful
"Channel that will not be mentioned"
I felt that :'(
i find bobs rant about leaving a bathroom covered in shit ironic and hypocritical after his story about shitting on a bathroom floor
Mark: Wade wins! looks like I'm moving back and starting pein house
Wade: yaa- wait...
This is by far the best podcast I’ve listened to and I’ve listened to at least 6
This is definitely the best podcast!
WAIT...how dare you Bob! In the last episode you had just gone on a rant on how you just plastered that bathroom at the gas-station with your shit from your spoiled ground beef...and in this episode, the literal next one you are raging about what kind of person could do such a thing!
That wasn't intentional though, and Bob did say he cleaned it up as best he could
Wades “imaging doing drugs through a curly straw” comment had me dying. Had to physically stop what I was doing and wipe a tear from my eye.
Maybe if your class is easy it's cause you're a good teacher.
Bobs rant about people who don’t put their store cart back was phenomenal and soooo true. Also very true about the massive amounts of garbage and people littering, it’s legit infuriating. People are jagoffs, I drive past and I see 2 ducks swimming in a pond when the pond has a bunch of garbage in it and on the outside of it. Made me sooooooo mad. 😡
I have a similar story to Bob's where I was in like 9th grade band, and you weren't allowed to join the band until second semester because first semester was just for the marching band. And to join the band again second semester you had to do a solo in front of the whole class. Now my anxiety had been very bad that year and having to perform by myself in front of everyone stressed me out to the point that I cried in front of the whole class (it ended up fine, I got into the class). A few weeks later we were rehearsing for a concert and the director moved one of the kids that was supposed to be playing in my section to help someone else, so it ended up being just me cuz there was only two of us. The director deadass looked at me and goes "do you mind if he moves over there or are you going to have another unnecessary, attention seeking panic attack again" my response was just "no it's fine, but you're down a woodwind now" and packed up my shit and left the class
I feel that
I'm so proud of 9th grade you, stranger on the internet.
the fact Mark broke out the shopping cart theory (referentially) in the same episode he said he lives off Fuck You Energy *chefs kiss* per-fucking-fection
Love that they finally pushed this onto YT.
When Bob started talking about his time in Jimmy Johns, I related to him so much. Back when I was working in McDonalds, I was what Bob was in Jimmy Johns. I was not the happiest worker there, but I did my job and I did my job well. McDonalds was not a great place to work at. It’s under staff most of the time, whenever they actually OVER staff the place(which was rear) a majority of the time you really have nothing to do, I was the kinda of guy the manager will have do almost everything, they only hire a bunch kids; meaning we have very few adults/young adults for closing. McDonald's was terrible.
As someone who's worked with food and retail, one of those places being united dairy farmers, I am reliving all the memories I have working in those jobs
I specifically resonate with Bob having to work at a sandwich place.
Ugh. Wade’s story about that teacher ruining students GPA with those quizzes is sooooo relatable.
I worked over nights at a truck stop for a spell. The 1 main difference to remember about a truck stop compared to a gas station is there are showers for truckers. We had to clean and wipe down the shower stall after each use to make sure it was ready for who ever needed it next. The things I had to clean in my 10 months of working there..... I lost a lot of faith in humanity. Certain "bodily fluids" that you'd be disturbed to find in private shower stalls didn't even make my top 5 list of the worst things I dealt with.
Wade is correct. As a female I can say that I am very upset that Molly is no longer available.
I am what you call a "passive aggressive" driver. I typically will go about five miles over the speed limit, unless I spot a cop, which I'll slow down to the speed limit. However, if you are driving right on my bumper while I am going 60 in a 55, I will PURPOSELY slow down to 55. I gave you five miles to just follow me at a safe distance, but that wasn't enough for you, so now you get NOTHING. Sure, it gets me to my destination slower, but it is rather satisfying to make someone else learn they need to drive safe. A CAR'S LENGTH IS THE GOLDEN RULE OF DRIVING.
Bob spoke about what is always on so many of our minds.
Bob's rant is america in a nutshell pretty much
Earth*
Bob ranting about how he doesn’t understand how people can leave public bathrooms such states while having done that himself is another level lol
On the shipping cart topic, I have a story of my own. I went to this small town to help a friend move and we needed to get some bungie cables to hold a tarp around his stuff. I went to Walmart and spent like 20 minutes trying to find a parking spot because it was full of shopping carts that were tipped over. Turns out that this walmart didn't have any cart return spots, so everyone just leaves their cart and tips it over so it can't roll around. If you want to park pretty much anywhere, you have to get out and move the cart to park and then you just take that cart inside with you. Needless to say, I never went back to that town again
Part of my job is to bring carts in...and I felt this episode on a spiritual level.
It’s so annoying that people can’t walk five feet around the cart corrals to put it where it belongs
As soon as you mentioned the grocery carts, I walked past a “enter brand” cart sitting in the middle of a grass patch next to my local mall. Good timing.
Wades customer service rant spoke to my soul
So, I was super tall for my age when I was in school, and I always worried that I would be made out to be a bully if I did something to anyone and because of that I kinda became an easy target for bullies, but there was this one person who was just terrible to me for no reason other than the fact that I looked like an ogre (granted I DID look like an ogre). She would belittle me in front of any girls I was trying to talk to, she would follow me for a good portion of my walk home and talk shit all up in my ear and just drove me crazy. I ended up moving away for like 4 years, and while I was gone I actually gained a lot of confidence without someone in my ear telling me that I was nothing. I worked out, constantly, not for that reason but just because it felt right. I joined sports teams and finished school before moving back to my home town. I ran into her, being super fit, 6'2 and kind of an overconfident asshole. She was a meth addict living under a bridge and tried to get my number. I actually ended up helping her get a place to stay with a friend of mine and got her clean for a few weeks (she left the house, idk if she's still clean). Never did anything bad to her because I felt like life had done enough, but the satisfaction in my old bully hitting on me and asking for help was indescribable.
Freaking facts worked retail for many years and boy could I tell you some stories!!
There is only one excuse I am willing to take about carts (I work at a store), and that is elderly people/people who have trouble walking/people who can't walk. Basically the handicap spot.
I also accept someone with their small child/children if they're the only adult. Toddlers are a menace to themselves and everyone around them lol.
Wade: How dare you ruin my GPA and ruin my future
Me: _Drops out, gets GED within months, gets license to work with a decent pay starter in less than 2 years total_
The fact that mark hosted the same episode twice which resulted in Bob telling the same story twice
On the trash topic, When I was in 3rd grade I was in special education. In short I had learning disabilities in reading and writing and, when it was time to cover those topic in my class, I would go across the hall to a classroom that dedicated extra time to make sure I understood what I was learning. So one day we had a snack time before I had to go back to my normal classroom. As I was going out the door, instead of dropping my trash in the trash can BY THE DOOR, I dropped it in the hallway by the door. Ten minutes later my teachers pulled me aside and confronted me about like “Why did you do that?”. Even back then, I didn’t have an answer for them. I knew where trash went and I never did that before. My brain just decided that that was the spot I needed to drop it. Before you grill me, I current day always put my cart back and pick up trash even if it isn’t mine.
I don’t know if I’ve ever “gotten revenge” I generally take the approach of getting myself out of the bad situation or cutting the bad person out of my life (if possible) and letting karma catch up with them. I guess my “revenge” story would be when I was an associate at Walmart there was this much older man who started sexually harassing me and I reported him and actually followed up with management and was able to get him fired. It was difficult because of his age and he was a veteran, but the workplace was changing at that time to be more safe for women so it was the right time. And once it happened I had multiple people come up to me and thank me because he had harassed them as well for either their gender, their weight, or their race.
I’m super proud of you. Don’t ever change that attitude. Don’t put up with it. Men suck. I would know. I am one.
I knew a tuba player who was probably the most interesting person to have a conversation with. He once apparently had an entire 2 hour conversation with someone about country flags and when I wake up when I arrive back to the school (I was sleeping during the bus ride), I just hear “Ahhh, Napal”
Imagine Bob saying:
"Sir, this is a Jimmy John's. You can either have the grumpy yet sober employee or a happy yet drunk employee. You cannot get the best of both."
My "how dare you" story: When I was in middle school, I ran track. Sprints, specifically, and relays. I was pretty good and I loved it. I injured myself one day by running and when I started limping to avoid the pain, the coach dismissed me, saying I couldn't run anymore. He said the pain I described was shin splints. So, he booted me off the team. Fast forward to high school. When I tried to join the track team, the coach told me my former coach had contacted him and told him to not allow me on the team, because I had shin splints. Mind you, I didn't have pain anymore when I ran, it was a one time injury. I didn't have shin splints. But these guys were intent on me not being on the team. So, with "fuck you" energy, I took all the physical education courses I could for four years and requested to "walk" with students who didn't want to play basketball or whatever. But I didn't walk. I sprinted like I'd never sprinted before and beat members of the actual track team. Every. Single. Time. Those coaches squashed my dream and I made sure to let them know they missed out on a brilliant runner.
Right because standing up for yourself and telling truth and pointing out their BuII and proving that you never had shin splints insisting on being part of the team and going over their heads to their bosses…..is FAR less effective
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 Apologies for my lack of communication skills, but I can't understand if this comment is in support of mine or not? 🤔 Either way, thanks for the reply 😊
I worked at a Deli for a year, and I have a few stories that still make me furious.
On one of the last few days I worked there, I had a lady come up and ask for 3/4 of a pound of shaved corned beef. The problem was that the equipment we need to safely use the meat slicer was currently in the dishwasher, and it was past the time when we were supposed to start closing things down for the night. We tell her this and she says: "That's fine, I'm going to go talk to your manager." This woman walks up to the self-checkout area, talks to one of the people on staff about how we 'refused her service', and then the manager walks up to us and asks things like "When will the dishwasher be done? Are you done slicing meat? Is there another slicer you can use?" So we get the (wet) meat slicer equipment out and get ready to complete this god damn order. And while we're cutting it, the woman is acting sickly sweet (Smiling and saying thank you whenever she could. After the mini tantrum she pulled, I was so damn close to telling her to shut up.), when I finish slicing her meat (Which made the slicer absolutely covered in shavings and crap, so it had to be cleaned again), I looked her dead in the eye and told her "Just for future reference, we close things down at a specific time, that is the protocol we have to follow. We're not being mean to you or anything, we're just doing our jobs." She apologized, took her meat, and left. I feel a bit bad for being so angry at her, but the GALL she had. What was the manager going to do? Get back here and wash dishes?! If we can't do something, accept that fact and leave!
We also gave free samples to customers, and since we have salads and stuff, we'd give people plastic utensils and plastic cups to have the sample. There was a trash can not even five feet away in the dining area, and also, we're not allowed to take used utensils or cups back behind the counter, health and contamination and all that. Every single day, there'd be at least one person who casually put their used utensil/cup back on the counter, and every now and then I'd tell them about the trash can behind them. Most people did so like responsible citizens, but there was this one woman, THIS ONE CUSTOMER, who told me, to my face: "Well, there's a trash can behind you too, so you can take care of it." The bitch smiled sweetly and walked away. The customer next to her looked at her, then looked at me like 'wow'. It's not that fucking hard to THROW AWAY A PLASTIC FORK AND A CUP. It's a health precaution, just throw away your plastic and don't be a bitch when we tell you to clean up after yourselves.
Sorry for the essay, but I understand you guys. People are fucking disgusting, it's not hard to be a decent human being.
Bob... I work retail, and just going out in general: I *legit* feel the same about bathrooms, carts, and trash.
I question EVERYday, how and why people are/do the things they do that is disgusting, gross for others, and just plain *so* lazy for the *smallest* of things.
I biggest pet peeve: is why people do not put things back while shopping *'where you found it'* and just set it down in the wrong spot- LITERALLY '2' SPOTS AWAY FROM WHERE IT SHOULD GO!
BOB! The things you mention I *always* think about and wish to scream to the world just like this! Thank you for doing it in my place but by gosh you dont get the strong feelings of rage of agreement I have typing and listening to this haha. In a good way but also: (shouts with you)
I read the title and all I could think of is mark and bob playing Don’t Starve Together. “HOW DARE YOU!!!”
My freshman year of highschool I had this math teacher for Algebra 1. This was her first year teaching and with the quality of said "teaching" it was probably her last. But every day I would walk into class and two of the more rowdy students would talk to themselves and this teacher would get so pissed off that they would stop teaching for the rest of the class period and just play class of clans at their desk. So I eventually just started to ignore the teacher even on the days she would actually teach and chose to teach myself Algebra 1 instead, since she practically never actually taught the class. On days she would actually teach I would've already finished learning the lesson for that day so I'd be playing on my ds or something. She'd get super pissed at me and would always call on me to answer questions she would have on the board. I'd answer them immediately and go back to my game. So many students failed her class that year that she was forced to either quit or get fired.
Early episode;
In Australia,
Fans are your friends XD
In bobs marching band story, you should not ever call someone out in front of other people, like a boss to an employee in front of the whole team. No, pull them aside and tell them
Wades teacher story is so awesome and fulfilling ^_^
24:10 I completely relate to Bob's stance in this discussion. I absolutely love people getting their just desserts and I don't shame anyone for feeling satisfied by witnessing such karma, but even if its a person who's genuinely been an absolute douche to me and has just made my life miserable, even then I still can't help but feel bad for them. Of course, that feeling goes away rather quickly when I think about it as simply just desserts, but knowing someone has done bad to you doesn't always help you feel better about seeing them on the low.
41:08 Mark's avatar... I can't 😂
"oh...oh!"
My mom argues, literally argues with me when we go shopping because I take that extra minute to take the cart back lmao
"based bob" is an instant fave
The only time I don't put the cart in the cart return, and this only happened like twice to maybe three times, was when aren't any cart returns and once because we had to rush home do to any accident at home. Even then I put them up on a curb so it couldn't roll all over the parking lot
I'm a bit late, but here we go. Some background: I'm an alumni that was in my school's top band and our marching band, and decided to go help the marching band for its first couple days. I observed as well as directly helping the students I saw struggling. I was staying out of the way of the instructors, and was trying my best to help students in the same way that alumni had helped me. Then, the assistant director pulled me over. If she had asked me to stop politely, I still would have been irate. She's never actually been in a band that I know of. All she does is logistics. I know how our band operates, and I know better than her what people currently need on the field when they're new, since I know a lot of them from when we worked with them as 8th graders. So despite the fact she didn't have much reason to say anything, if it was polite, I would just nod and say sorry for getting in the way. But she didn't ask politely. This woman, who is an asshole to anyone that isn't one of her favorites, that doesn't have the slightest clue what it's like to be on the field, and who really shouldn't be the assistant director of a band, calls me over and says in the bitchiest tone that I'm distracting the kids from the instructors that "she paid a lot of money for." (She didn't pay for them, and I doubt most of them are getting paid at all. Last year, 5/6 of the positions of our long term marching band staff were unpaid positions. People do it because they're passionate about music and getting kids to enjoy their time in band.) The problem is, aside from the tone, that she had no clue what I was doing. I was HELPING the director and the instructors set the block correctly. I was answering questions that kids had that they *weren't* going to the instructors for because they're freshman, and are terrified of the instructors. And those same instructors weren't bothered by it. If they were, they would have told me. I've worked with them and talked with them before. They're all very forward. They know me, and know I listen to them. Also, I was actively asking questions about helping, and they were telling me to do this or that. I was working WITH the section leaders so they could focus on teaching what they needed to. And here comes this woman, who was sitting in an air conditioned building, telling me I'm distracting the kids and that I needed to get off the field. Fun fact: I was not on the field. I was sitting at the sideline, getting a measurement for distances because it looked weird. I don't know if I was trying to help too much, but there was no direction being given. So I don't know what the fuck her problem was. Especially since I was one of several doing that exact thing. I know she doesn't like me, but I don't care. I was there to help the program. The ONLY person that was bothered was HER. Funny how that happens. I had fun in band, but if that's how people are treated by the AD, oh well. Guess it's time to move on.
tldr: Bitchy assistant director that has never even been in a band tells me I need to leave a place I wasn't for a reason that didn't exist.
I had an English teacher that almost failed me. I went from my first teacher in college using my papers as a way to teach other students how to write and getting scholarships to the next year the next teacher was so bad I almost flunked. Hated her.
