(Reposting my comment here so you don’t have to find my explanation of the story) Okay like straight up. That second story with the old lady and gym equipment is kinda bullshit. Imagine you’re the employee right, and you’re standing there working with a bunch of big guys applying for a job, your focus is getting them through considering it’s important and you have such a long line. It’s not your responsibility to talk to every customer there, that’s the other employees responsibility. So when this old lady approaches you and asks for paperwork without mentioning anything else or maybe asking if she’s talking to a customer service employee, then you would be a bit confused considering the stereotype around people that exercise (predominantly men) and around the people that work at gyms or equipment stores (also men, who are usually very well built). So you tell your boss “hey I think she might be confused, let’s pull her in back, ask some questions, and see if she knows what she’s applying for.” Then when you start asking questions the old lady hits you with some attitude and starts questioning you and saying you don’t actually know anything about the equipment you sell. I guarantee that’d start to annoy you, she’s a classic Karen. Now granted, the questions they asked weren’t technically correct, but, the intention behind those questions and concerns, from a business, and health aspect, where very legitimate. Old people, not just women, have frail bones, that’s just a fact. And she would be working in a building where she would regularly be lifting and move plates and equipment, ranging from 25-100lbs on a daily basis. The second she gets hurt, which she most likely would, as would any old person, she gets workers comp and the company gets sued. She also most likely, to them, doesn’t look like she could hold her own in an environment. They worded theses concerns very poorly, but they were valid concerns, both for their business, and for her health. Also. As we all know. When you write a story about yourself you exaggerate a bit to make yourself out to be the clear “hero.” I’d be willing to put money down that these guys doing the interview did not have half the attitude that she portrayed, nor did the big guy deserve to loss his job over valid concerns. Sure they handled it poorly. But that doesn’t mean this lady didn’t cause this to happen. Who walks into a respected business, sees a BUNCH of guys filling out paperwork and assume that they’re all here for repairs. If there’s that many people needing repairs after a 2 week quarantine, then this company and their products would be out of business for being garbage. She could have very easily asked “hey is this customer service” like all people do when they’re in a building they’re not familiar with

That last one made my heart hurt. But then again, I'm not too surprised. As a college graduate myself, I met quite a few people at my university who lacked even the most basic common sense. That's sadly one thing that is not taught in schools, but should be... if it can even be taught at all.
At my first job as a chemical process operator (Chemikant) I had a training of 3 years (Germany). Alongside was somebody, who can be called a moron. You should assume that a chemical process operator should know a bit of chemistry. But this guy (in the 3rd a last year!) asked a question, which can easily be answered by someone in the 1st year. I can't remember, which question it was. It was ~22 years ago.
Way back when I was renting one of a dozen rooms in a converted building, there was a guy I got to know I'll call "Gary". Gary went to school for computer science, and got his A+ certification, even though he seemed to need an instruction card in order to breathe. There was one day where, I kid you not, he actually forgot how to tie his own shoes. Gary was a bona fide idiot of the highest caliber, and yet he managed to get certified to work on computer hardware. It's enough to make one weep.
What? That's it? You should have said more. He obviously was just a lazy employee trying to get out of doing anything. If I were you, I would have screamed at him a bunch, demanded to see his manager, and throw a huge hissy fit like a spoiled toddler. It's the reasonable thing to do, really.

Apparently he normally shops at Target and wears it for the confused looks he gets, and wasn't planning on being at Walmart that day but needed something. Now I ask at any store, even if the logo is staring me in the face.

Being less likely to get a job based on those thing, especially depending on the job, is sadly valid. But any kind of exclusion or discrimination is just wrong!

My husband used to pick me up from the city train station. We had it timed pretty well, he'd arrive around the time the train pulled into the station. On multiple occasions someone just got in the car, in the back seat, thinking he was a lyft or uber (he was neither and there were no stickers on the car). Once he had to yell for the woman to get out of his car. By that point I had reached the car too, it wasn't until she saw me kiss my husband from the front seat that she accepted we weren't her ride.

That last story is hilarious. That stuff has happened to Soap Opera stars for decades. Like it's a constant problem and some of the actors have even been assaulted.
That last one made me wanna cry that people like that have children. Then I have to deal with them in society and see them get a degree also. Then I'll probably see them when they're working a job that should require common sense and then I'll have anxiety about how my fate was unfortunately put in their hands. I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.
OMG, the last story killed me. I had a supervisor once when I was working as an assistant at an elementary school library. This "librarian" was something else. We had a library database that was online and super easy to use, even children use it. It even had an easy web address to remember. This "librarian" would spend all her time on the internet to "buy books for the library", basically just filling her online cart with "cute books". She did that the entire shift, every shift. After 4 years of working at that school she came me as I was working on my computer and asked me how to get to the library database. I was a bit confused at the question but I replied with the web address, as I thought that's what she was asking for. She looked at me like a puppy trying to understand human speech with her head tilted to one side and a confused look on her face. This made me even more confused. Then she said "no, how do you get to the library database?" I stopped what I was doing to further look at her and try to understand the question. Basically, after about 5 minutes of questioning I figured out what she wanted. I had to show her HOW TO GO ON THE INTERNET. It's the year 2012... not 1998. I kid you not... I literally had to close my window, show her how to click on Chrome, wait for the window to open and type the web address I gave her and show her the database. SHE WAS TAKING NOTES, PEOPLE. She's been working there for 4 years. She is in her late 30s, has a Bachelor degree from university, she has TWO children (who are probably alive because of her husband), she's MY supervisor (works half the time, does nothing all day, and makes more than twice as much as I do) and she's that DUMB? How are people that incompetent get such good jobs? Mind you, no one believed me when I told them this story... and I don't blame them. Tbh, I couldn't believe it myself had I not actually been there to experience that. Sometimes, I still think I hallucinated that entire scene due to stress of working under such an incompetent person. She ended up working there for three more years before she was finally let go. Reasons unknown ;)
With the first story: "Her liftdriver was the person who drove away and almost hit OP. He/she was trying to get the hell out of there as soon as he/she saw the lady and knew it was a Karen." At least, that is what I should have done.
I knew a girl that dumb, she made a comment one day that "she didn't know the capital of France or anything" (we live in London), I said "its Paris, you know Paris, you've been there", her response was "well I don't know that that's the capital, I'm not even sure it's in France", I said "but I'm telling you it is now", her "but I don't really know it" ... I still to this day do not know if she understands Paris is the capital of France
I bet that last one thinks Star Trek is real, too, and Lord of the Rings is actual history... Like the aliens in Galaxy Quest, she must think they're 'historical documents'
That last story makes me think of Brooke Shield's character on Friends, lol. Lady was legit crazy and didn't understand that a TV show with actors is not real life. 😄 Insane that there's REAL people like that! lol
I was at a sci-fi convention, and one of the guest celebrities was an actor who had played a doctor on a scifi show in the 90's, and before that a doctor on a soap opera. He said the difference between scifi fans and soap fans was that the former were better grounded in reality. The actor said that if a soap fan didn't like your character on a show then they hated you the actor as well, because they could barely tell the differnce between you and your character.
It reminds of that episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. When Will tells a bunch of old ladies Carlton was the character that killed a fan favourite actor, and they harassed him all the way to their hotel.

The last story reminds me of an episode of Friends, “The One After the Super Bowl: Part One”, where a woman stalks down Joey and thinks he is really Dr. Drake Ramoray. It is slightly funny when it’s on a sitcom, but to experience it in real life would be bizarre.
Sheesh.. that woman is basically those aliens from that definitely-not-Star-Trek movie, who thought all the TV shows were "historical documents" and got all depressed about Gilligan's Island.

"She has a bachelor's degree from an accredited college and holds a job with several subordinates and partial responsibility over our City's water supply." So that's what happened in Flint...

I'm going to venture a guess the last poster's friend's partner ran the water supply for Flint Michigan..."I thought flint was supposed to be in the water, isn't that how the town got its name?"...😒...😔...🤦♂️
That last story is extremely depressing, because we all know it's there is so many more people exactly like her voting, driving, and unfortunately raising children.
That last story kinda follows the lines of when people ask any doctor--no matter what department or specialty they have--to look at something unrelated to their specialty. An example would be asking a pathologist about something going on with your 5-year-old. Sure the doctor can extrapolate based on what they know, but they also aren't a pediatrician, so it would be best to talk to a pediatrician, which is what most ER doctors do when the illness isn't something obvious like Strep throat or an injury.
About the girl from "doctor" story - better not show them Breaking Bad or else she'll call cops on Bryan Cranston because he's cooking meth and then she'll learn how to cook meth on her own.
That's scare she's in charge of the water supply. That's puts a disturbing meaning to the joke "There's in the water there" whenever there was a sudden spike of stupid behavior at some of the city around us.

That lady in the last story is legitimately and truly thick as a brick. It’s not even humorously stupid; it’s worrying me stupid how she could actually think I a show like Grey’s Anatomy or House was real life...

Oh boy, the first story reminded me of the time when I was trying to pick up my bro and his wife after a football game. I still had my Uber stickers on and I noticed there were other people looking for their Uber. so I locked my doors because I know how people would get over excited when they see any car with an Uber sticker especially a Prius. I get to the corner street where my brother told me to meet him, then I hear somebody trying to open my door. At first I thought it was my brother then it was just a guy and two women. I roll the window a crack to let him know that I'm not his Uber, but before I could say anything he asked me if I was. Then I finally got to answer that I was not his Uber and I'm off the clock. Then he tries to open the door again and he slams my car and tells me, "What the fuck bro Let me in!" Once he started to do that I drove away quickly. Moments after I found my brother and his wife.

That last story.. Good Grief!! There are idiots out there who truly do believe that characters in a show are real. This is why some amazing actors have left their craft: Its due to all the hate mail and insults they receive because the audience loath the character they portray. Some folks really MUST learn to separate fantasy from reality!! Heck, I've even seen cosplayers crying in a corner at conventions because they chose to represent a villain character and end up getting cruelly picked on as a result.
The thumbnail on this is brilliant - it comes from Good Morning Britain, when Piers Morgan tried to strawman his guest (Ash Sarkar) with something about "her hero Obama", to which she yells "I'm a communist you idiot" Legendary moment, love to see it here
12:25 - I've heard of this happening; people meeting the actor who plays a role on TV and seeming to think that the actor actually is the character! Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) got asked (quite sincerely) if he could use his Vulcan nerve pinch ability to help someone who had a degenerative nerve disorder, Dan Blocker (Bonanza) getting lectured at about how his father needed to get a good woman to do his housekeeping, and so on.
People mention how that last one was like that one episode of Friends, but this issue has been around far longer. Apparently when Gilligan's Island was first being aired the Department of Defense would receive letters expressing shock and dismay about those poor, stranded Americans, and surely they could spare a destroyer or something to go rescue them. It seems Darwin continues to fail us...
Tbf to that younger gym employee, there's nothing wrong to alerting your supervisor when someone unusual turns up.

Ditzy wife: how can someone live like this, I mean I have to think that she may think wars long over are still going on or see some science fiction show on TV and think that it's real.

I can't remember, which question it was. It was ~22 years ago.
Way back when I was renting one of a dozen rooms in a converted building, there was a guy I got to know I'll call "Gary". Gary went to school for computer science, and got his A+ certification, even though he seemed to need an instruction card in order to breathe. There was one day where, I kid you not, he actually forgot how to tie his own shoes. Gary was a bona fide idiot of the highest caliber, and yet he managed to get certified to work on computer hardware. It's enough to make one weep.
I remember when I mistook someone for a store worker. After he said I don't work here, I said: Okay.
What? That's it? You should have said more. He obviously was just a lazy employee trying to get out of doing anything. If I were you, I would have screamed at him a bunch, demanded to see his manager, and throw a huge hissy fit like a spoiled toddler. It's the reasonable thing to do, really.
You could have at least accused them of lying 😂
What's even worse in a mind numbing way, is when a customer asks "do you work here?" when you're very clearly plainly dressed as an employee. 😑😑
@@NyttAura IDK man, I've learned to ask anyway. Apparently you can buy Walmart vests online, so I've once asked for help only for the person to realize he's wearing the vest he bought at an actual Walmart. Imagine the shock when I looked it up and they are indeed for sale on eBay. Apparently he normally shops at Target and wears it for the confused looks he gets, and wasn't planning on being at Walmart that day but needed something. Now I ask at any store, even if the logo is staring me in the face.
I tend to get asked a lot if I'm open at my cash.
"I mean I'm not posing for anything, so pretty sure I'm open, but I guess I should check with my supervisor just to be really sure, cause I don't have a light on or anything above my cash" No I've never said this, but it's tempting.
I've been tempted to walk off a few times, when asked if I was open.

My husband used to pick me up from the city train station. We had it timed pretty well, he'd arrive around the time the train pulled into the station. On multiple occasions someone just got in the car, in the back seat, thinking he was a lyft or uber (he was neither and there were no stickers on the car). Once he had to yell for the woman to get out of his car. By that point I had reached the car too, it wasn't until she saw me kiss my husband from the front seat that she accepted we weren't her ride.

That gym one was hysterical!! I twigged halfway through what was happening. I just needed a good laugh today and that did the trick. Thanks rSlash! :D
That last story is hilarious. That stuff has happened to Soap Opera stars for decades. Like it's a constant problem and some of the actors have even been assaulted.
That last one made me wanna cry that people like that have children. Then I have to deal with them in society and see them get a degree also. Then I'll probably see them when they're working a job that should require common sense and then I'll have anxiety about how my fate was unfortunately put in their hands. I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.
OMG, the last story killed me. I had a supervisor once when I was working as an assistant at an elementary school library. This "librarian" was something else. We had a library database that was online and super easy to use, even children use it. It even had an easy web address to remember. This "librarian" would spend all her time on the internet to "buy books for the library", basically just filling her online cart with "cute books". She did that the entire shift, every shift.
After 4 years of working at that school she came me as I was working on my computer and asked me how to get to the library database. I was a bit confused at the question but I replied with the web address, as I thought that's what she was asking for.
She looked at me like a puppy trying to understand human speech with her head tilted to one side and a confused look on her face. This made me even more confused. Then she said "no, how do you get to the library database?" I stopped what I was doing to further look at her and try to understand the question.
Basically, after about 5 minutes of questioning I figured out what she wanted. I had to show her HOW TO GO ON THE INTERNET. It's the year 2012... not 1998.
I kid you not... I literally had to close my window, show her how to click on Chrome, wait for the window to open and type the web address I gave her and show her the database. SHE WAS TAKING NOTES, PEOPLE.
She's been working there for 4 years. She is in her late 30s, has a Bachelor degree from university, she has TWO children (who are probably alive because of her husband), she's MY supervisor (works half the time, does nothing all day, and makes more than twice as much as I do) and she's that DUMB? How are people that incompetent get such good jobs?
Mind you, no one believed me when I told them this story... and I don't blame them. Tbh, I couldn't believe it myself had I not actually been there to experience that. Sometimes, I still think I hallucinated that entire scene due to stress of working under such an incompetent person.
She ended up working there for three more years before she was finally let go. Reasons unknown ;)

That last story makes me think of Brooke Shield's character on Friends, lol. Lady was legit crazy and didn't understand that a TV show with actors is not real life. 😄
Insane that there's REAL people like that! lol
I was at a sci-fi convention, and one of the guest celebrities was an actor who had played a doctor on a scifi show in the 90's, and before that a doctor on a soap opera. He said the difference between scifi fans and soap fans was that the former were better grounded in reality. The actor said that if a soap fan didn't like your character on a show then they hated you the actor as well, because they could barely tell the differnce between you and your character.
As I'm hearing the last story, the whole time I'm envisioning Brians girlfriend Jillian from Family Guy. 😅😅
I envisioned Lindsay from total drama island
I pictured Brooke Shields' guest spot on Friends, where she played a stalker who thought Joey really was Dr. Drake Ramoray.
It reminds of that episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. When Will tells a bunch of old ladies Carlton was the character that killed a fan favourite actor, and they harassed him all the way to their hotel.

That last story is extremely depressing, because we all know it's there is so many more people exactly like her voting, driving, and unfortunately raising children.
Let me make it worse for you: Pretty much all of the people complaining about the second story are in favor of race and sex based hiring.
That last story kinda follows the lines of when people ask any doctor--no matter what department or specialty they have--to look at something unrelated to their specialty. An example would be asking a pathologist about something going on with your 5-year-old. Sure the doctor can extrapolate based on what they know, but they also aren't a pediatrician, so it would be best to talk to a pediatrician, which is what most ER doctors do when the illness isn't something obvious like Strep throat or an injury.
About the girl from "doctor" story - better not show them Breaking Bad or else she'll call cops on Bryan Cranston because he's cooking meth and then she'll learn how to cook meth on her own.
That's scare she's in charge of the water supply. That's puts a disturbing meaning to the joke "There's in the water there" whenever there was a sudden spike of stupid behavior at some of the city around us.

I still had my Uber stickers on and I noticed there were other people looking for their Uber. so I locked my doors because I know how people would get over excited when they see any car with an Uber sticker especially a Prius. I get to the corner street where my brother told me to meet him, then I hear somebody trying to open my door. At first I thought it was my brother then it was just a guy and two women. I roll the window a crack to let him know that I'm not his Uber, but before I could say anything he asked me if I was. Then I finally got to answer that I was not his Uber and I'm off the clock. Then he tries to open the door again and he slams my car and tells me, "What the fuck bro Let me in!" Once he started to do that I drove away quickly. Moments after I found my brother and his wife.

That last story.. Good Grief!! There are idiots out there who truly do believe that characters in a show are real.

Heck, I've even seen cosplayers crying in a corner at conventions because they chose to represent a villain character and end up getting cruelly picked on as a result.

People mention how that last one was like that one episode of Friends, but this issue has been around far longer. Apparently when Gilligan's Island was first being aired the Department of Defense would receive letters expressing shock and dismay about those poor, stranded Americans, and surely they could spare a destroyer or something to go rescue them.
