In Toronto, a woman can ask the bus driver to stop in-between stops at night. She exits in the front and no one else is allowed to get off.
That's awesome
The one time I was in Las Vegas, it was the same way.
They do ( or did that , haven’t ridden the bus at night for years ) here called a curtesy stop but I don’t think there is a prohibition against anyone else getting off also but I have seen the driver stop call for the police tell the offender that it’s in their best interest to leave before the cops get there.
This sounds like gender inequality to me.
@@thetbog i believe there are other concessions, I don't know them all. Those with disabilities too I think can ask if it's a safe place to stop.
Grabbing a stranger, especially from behind is just an open invitation to get hurt.
Do that with me and you'll get my steel cane introduced to your head at roughly 60 Mph (or as fast as I can swing the bloody thing at that moment, it depends on how good or bad my shoulders are...it varies)...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
This actually happened to me when I worked retail, person decided that after I became obviously upset that she grabbed one of my twin-tails, she would just grab the choker I was wearing. Thankfully there was a pretty intimidating looking, but generally nice guy near by that didn't appreciate her doing that and removed her hand. Apparently from what the cops told me he actually fractured a few bones in her arm and hand doing so.
Sweep the legs, don't respond don't tell them to let go etc, just sweep their legs out from under them and let them fall on their face.
It's also assault. Sure, not very serious assault, but it still qualifies.
Don't put your hands on people without their consent, unless it's absolutely necessary.
I have agoraphobia, which is oddly similar to PTSD, so I'm pretty sure I never want to have to find out what I'd do if a stranger grabs me by surprise. I don't trust myself to not have a panic attack or go crazy and attack them.
Story 2: I burst out laughing when the OP passed the Karen off as their dementia afflicted mother. This was absolutely the best handling of a Karen that I've ever heard.😁👍👏
I'd like to think I could come up with something like that.
"I'm sorry, sir, but my granny seems to have forgotten to take her meds today."
Honestly, that sounded like something a cousin of mine would do.
She's crafty like that.
The best part is, if Karen said "I Am NOT your Mother!" Op then could say "And I am Not an Employee here". ***chef's kiss*** beautiful!!
What does the OP stand for?
@@janetlessley Original Poster - the person who wrote the story.
Story 2: With the way OP handled it, it sounds like it's not the first time they had to deal with this sort of stuff. That means OP knows how to easily handle Karens. Neat
Karen Wrangling is definitely a useful life skill.
This solution is genius.
@@pvanpelt1 Zini
Gotta say the way that Karen was dealt with was pure class! 👏👏👍😂😂
@@pvanpelt1 When do we start branding those heifers? 😆
The moment I realized a guy was following me around a bus, I would’ve gone to the driver. Also, even if Op were a doctor or a nurse, she was under no legal obligation to deal with that guy off the clock, and if she really didn’t want to deal with on the clock, she could have quit her job. Also, dentists and optometrists are examples of doctors who are doctors but due to their specialization would be useless to that guy. Finally, what on earth made that guy think that someone being able to recognize that (probably oozing based on the fact Op said she could smell them)sores are a bad sign means they were lying about not being a doctor? I can recognize that a bone sticking halfway out of someone’s ankle is a bad thing, doesn’t mean I can fix it.
Exactly
Exactly! The average person doesn't suddenly become a pilot when they see an engine blow and say 'oh, that's not good'. The average person doesn't suddenly become a car mechanic when they see acrid yellow smoke pouring out of a car's hood and say 'that's not normal'. Rotty McFungal-Infection may not think of his stench as a problem, but most average people react appropriately to the stink of death- that appropriate reaction being 'eww, go to a doctor'.
I bet his problem was like op say about the bath that is how infections really work
I kinda feel for the guy actually, not that what he did was okay but understandable if this happened in the USA. When even a visit to a doctor can cost hundreds of dollars, seeking "free" help outside of an office or a hospital can be seen as essential. That being said, it is important to believe someone when they tell you that they are not a medical professional. Also, if one is going to seek medical help, please for their benefit and yours, take a shower BEFORE heading out.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 I have had to deal with open wounds for almost ten years. Countless trips to would care, and the largest just closed a couple weeks ago. I was told not to get the woulds wet, if I didn't want to lose my legs. All I can do is wipe the kin down with Dakes solution to remove some dead skin each time that I change the dressings.
Story 1: my unprofessional opinion is you should stop using meth. That's the only explanation that fits the attitude and infected sores
I concur, Nondoctor.
I'm sure it's AIDS. (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง
Also sounds like gangrenous sores from wildly unchecked diabetes. The smell of rot will make you spew chunks.
I second this, as someone who used to be friends with someone who got addicted to meth
I went the route of non-bathing but that’s also a reason why the sores could happen, but then again I don’t know anyone who’s ever been on meth I’ve just dealt with sores and rashes because I am a heavier set individual and my hygiene is unfortunately not the greatest
Story 5: holy shit, I can't imagine the pain op felt getting his arm nearly torn off by that woman. He already had a preexisting pain in his arm and she just decide to grab him by the exact arm? Lady, you just lost your freedom for 5 years, your clean record, your job, your husband, and worst of all, your children. I wouldn't feel bad if it was me punching that woman. Grave bodily harm to one person to have your face fked up along with your life. *slow claps* bravo karen, you played a stupid game and won the jackpot of all stupid prizes.
There is a thing in English law which almost certainly has equivalents in the USA, called the eggshell skull rule. If you deliberately hit someone on the head intending just to hurt them a bit, and they have a thin skull that fractures easily and die, you have no defence to being charged with causing their death. Same applies to all unknown weaknesses like OP's in this story.
@@missharry5727 was thinking the same principle myself.
@@missharry5727 Yup and that's on top of if they are someone who may have taken a lot of martial arts or PTSD from physical trauma that may react on instinct.
@@kisstune We had a jerk at my last job who would walk up behind people whiler they were working, and punch that quite hard. I informed him, in front of our supervisor that if he ever did that to me, his wife would be a widow, and that Uncle Sam had trained me to kill. That it was assault, and now that he had been publicly warned, his widow wouldn't be able to get a penny, in court if he triggered my military training to kick in. The 400 pound slob tried to tell me, I have 150 ponds on you!. I shrugged and said, Your empty head will be rolling across the production floor, if it happens. The I reminded him that many of the other men were Veterans as well.
@@kisstune Trained in martial arts and has PTSD. Lethal combination.
"What kind of person, in their right mind...?" Well, yup, you answered your own question. Most of these people are bat crap crazy.
I'm sorry, but Karens who stomp their foot or snap their fingers need to be put in their place.
I once encountered a woman like this and just humiliated her into submission. She was a witch! Do you know the letter "b"? She accused me of assault, but video proved her wrong, so I pressed charges. She was convinced.
Snapping your fingers at someone to demand service is unbelievably rude. It should be grounds for ejection and permanent banning from any retail or service business.
Most of us witches are lovely people. Stop passing the wrong stereotype
Say birtch or twit or something or be an adult and say bitch outright. Or if you're squeamish say b!tch. Lol.
Y'all gotta stop defaming a whole religion mmmmkay?
@@Emeraldwitch30 Just say female dog. Does you-tube censor the word if you are talking about dogs since the word is the technical term for a female?
@@GhostRider-sc9vu they don't censor it. I typed it out no problem. Im just sick of people using my religion and preferred title as a substitute for being a bitch.
I'm a pretty okay person I'd say nice lady but geez niceguys/nice girls ruined that too 🤦♀️
She was convinced of what?
Fourth story: All Karens see everyone as slaves. Otherwise why she thinks OP deserved assault for talking back.
karens are from my exp, elitist bullies, who feel entitled to assault people who dont comply and conform with their view of the world and how people show act/think/feel/be/exist... everybody is here to serve them... they are narcs...
I honestly keep wondering why NO ONE in these stories ever hits back. I would, GLADLY.
@@SidereusOfTheFallen me too.
@@SidereusOfTheFallen as a late friend of mine, who was a Police Constable w/our City Force, but Cancer took far too soon once showed me...
If I ever got in a situation like that & they’re close enough, stomp hard on their foot, then knee & then push them back HARD. I’m Legally Blind, use a White Cane in public, so he was worried about my Safety & decided to show me some things. He also said always stomp on the foot first. Nothing makes someone let go of you faster than that.
@@denisecampbell6736 So sorry for your loss.
It's a great suggestion! Now that I think of it it makes a lot of sense, feet are mostly bones and nerves, they hurt a lot very fast and very easy.
Story 4: Here's a little important nugget of wisdom: If you're looking for help, treat the person you're asking for help nicely. Nobody would generally want to help a mean grouch like Karen.
So true, as my dad says, you get more with sugar than with lemons.
Hmm...
Sugar and lemons...
Time to make some lemonade.
😀😀😀
BTW: I'm more familiar with the You catch more flies with honey than vinegar version of that saying.
@@TBaker-xu5is cue cave Johnson lemon rant
The problem is that the true entitled Karens do not recognize anyone else as a human being! (Not being one themselves, y’see!)
Exactly. I've asked to borrow someone's height a few times and I've never been turned down. I'm tall enough that it's not a problem at most stores, just stores that insist on making their shelves ten feet (three meters) tall. Most people just chuckle, and hand me the item. And then I thank them. It's pretty simple.
Having been a Paramedic for 35 years I was always getting taken for a Cop as we wore a very similar uniform except for PARAMEDIC in 2” letters across my shoulders and 3/4” on my left chest. Then one day as I’m filling up the ambulance at a service station, a woman driving a Lexus pulls up to the pump on the other side and tries to give me her credit card, telling me to fill her car. I’m thinking where has she been? This is California and we’ve had self serve gas stations for 40 years! I tell her the classic, I don’t work here I’m a Paramedic. She answers , “I’m not stupid, I know that but I’m a tax payer, so you work for me! So fill it up.” About then we got a call and as we are rolling out with lights and siren, she was still standing there holding her card out.
"Don't touch anyone without their consent"
Did you know you can claim assault by someone if they so much as poke you without consent (or not as a joke)
so yeah... just saying you can
They don’t even need to touch you. There’s a difference between assault and battery. Assault means reasonably causing someone to fear imminent harm or offense. Battery is actual physical harm or offensive contact. Assault can be simply gesturing, depending on the gestures.
Touching someone without their consent could get you badly hurt or end up dead.
@@msguineapigsrus point still stands
I mean, if i poked you to get your attention while you had headphones in, it won't hold up in court cause its ridiculous, but yeah technically
In some places, if you spit on someone, you can be arrested for assault😢
Grabbing or striking a stranger in public is an insanely dangerous thing to do. Especially when doing so for a petty reason, when the person being accosted's split second response could cause great bodily harm to the grabber/hitter, and justifiably so.
Unless it's an emergency situation I don't think a doctor or nurse can legally treat someone in a public setting (in practically every country). A lot of them do help their friends and family, they aren't supposed to, but it's usually ignored (Unless it's a negligence case) and most of the "help" they give is just basic first aid and general advice. I think this is something to do with insurance and liability.
Yuuuuuuup! The only reason a doctor or nurse would treat someone in public is if the patient's life is in immediate danger. We're talking 'car crash victim' or 'sudden heart attack'. Stinky McGangrene in Story 1 is NOT a valid example since his infection and dead tissue amid his fat rolls was definitely not spontaneous. He needs to suck it up and check himself into a hospital for medical intervention.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826
He needs a bath...
An acid bath...
Maybe vinegar... with lots of baking soda.
Aye, good samaritan laws only apply to first aid, and you dont even need to be a doctor. Advanced procedures are to be carried out in a controlled environment under most law systems.
Karen: "Do you think I'm _stupid_ ...?"
OP: "Think? No; that would imply some _doubt_ ...!"
ROFL 🤣😂🤣
I need to add that to my repertoire.
I'd say, "I don't think, I KNOW!"
Story 1: The tub-lord probably had gangrene (a.k.a. *actual dead and rotting tissue,* ffs) and a fungal infection in his fat rolls. That can happen if a very large person doesn't clean themselves properly. Y'all... I don't care what you think about fitness, health, or body size. *Wash yo got dam self!* The infections and decomposition that walking armpit has may actually lead to his death if he doesn't get serious medical intervention.
Five years ago, I got some cheapo computer game to play. It was a "Hospital" game, and in the game process, newly admitted patients HAD TO TAKE A SHOWER before staff would see to them. The prior version of this time management game didn't have the compulsory showers. That's when I knew the state of hygiene in the country of origin of the game (USA) had gone down the toilet completely. I completely agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, some people's living situations mean they don't have ready access to showering facilities or toiletry goods. Suspect that the guy in the bus story was one of those? The problem goes deeper than laziness I fear.
The bus driver had the responsibility to call the cops as soon as that rapist followed the girl and boxed her in.
@@JoshSweetvale Bus driver wasn't in an ideal situation himself, stuck with some crazy smelly guy on the bus. Sometimes best to remove one or the other from the situation, then try to calm the aggressor down or mollify them somehow. If the crazy dude realized bus driver was calling cops on him, he could go more extreme. Safety first. Always. Can't report a crime if you're unconscious or dead.
@@Kayenne54 Not everyone deserves consideration.
Men who block women on empty buses into seats with their bulk don't deserve life. Much less consideration.
Yer that was my guess too. Used to do the diabetic foot clinic. Gangrene reeks.
I will say, I'm glad the only time I've dealt with an idwhl story, they've been wholesome. Feeling a gentle touch on the forearm as I'm zoned out trying to decide on something, turn and see an older lady with a charming smile, hearing "excuse me, young man (im 47, lol) I know you don't work here, but would you be a dear and get (some random product I can't remember) for me, please? I can't reach it and haven't been able to find an employee?" My only response was "certainly, ma'am, which exactly is it and how many would you like?"
I don't care how bad my day was, encounters like that always put a smile on my face. The kind older ladies remind me of my grandmother and mother, both sadly gone.
I often have to find someone, anyone in a store because I can't reach something. I'm only 4'11" and I always acknowledge that most people I ask for help are NOT employees, but it's all about the approach. I usually say, "Excuse me. Could you please help me get something from the top shelf?" I've NEVER had someone ignore me or say no. At places like Lowe's or Home Depot, I just start moving their staircases around and it will attract the attention of employees. 😂
I'm 6'-even, and I'm glad to help anyone courteous enough to ask for help.
Story 5: People like this deserve charges just to keep them off of the streets. Story 6: And Karen just proved my point on story 5.
I 100% believe these stories because I was a cake decorator for over 6 years and have had plenty of my own ridiculous Karen stories 😅
Hey, share the good ones!
Third story: Remember, I said it before. The only things a Karen knows is that everything is your property, laws don't apply to them and everyone is in their lives to serve them.
Story 1 even if op was a doctor/nurse op would be off duty and not required to look at him
Story 1: This guy who was harrassing OP was obviously some kind of crazy creepy. I am so glad the bus driver stopped him from following her. Lord only know what he would have done if he followed her home.
Story 2: This is what you really do to Karens. You turn the tables on them, confuse them, embarass them, and they go away. Hope she has fun being mistaken for a crazy old lady.
Story 3 & 4: I swear the older a Karen gets, the more crazy and delusional they become. They see anyone dressed up in anything and see another person to obey them. Even if they look nothing like they work there. Any kind of fancyish clothes/uniform = they must work here, is how they see the world.
Story 5: OP was justified. And I am cheering. Someone finally put an entitled Karen on her ass like some deserve to be. Don't just grab people!
Story 6: This is pure gold. Fucking with people who keep calling a residence to rent a car using the answering machine messages.
*"Any kind of fancyish clothes/uniform = they must work here, is how they see the world."*
Unfortunately, it's not even that. You can be dressing in a way that clearly not a uniform and they still will think you work there, as casual as possible, even something out of the norm. Sometimes, it's how you carry yourself, especially professionally. Other times, it's because you put an item back you chose not to buy, believing that you are stocking items. But this is only rationalizing the irrational.
Story 4 reminds me of the time that a KAREN demanded that I (a taxicab driver) fire a customer for telling her to F-OFF because he was a very rude employee. I told her flat out to go to customer service and get the manager herself. She grabbed my arm(only got the sleeve) and threatened to have me fired. I bellowed "LOOK KAREN!!!! I'M NOT THE FING MANAGER!!! NOW F___ OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" Not even 30 seconds later MARTWALL Manager and Security showed up. Karen got charged and BANNED for life for aggravated assault times 2. When I bellow, I can be heard a half mile away. Imagine how CLEAR I was in that store.
I wouldn't be shocked if Karen became temporarily deaf since she was in the blast zone of your bellow from the way your describing it, as for customers they'd probably stop dead in there tracks and looked in your direction quicker that a deer caught in the crosshairs
@@captaincold5481 pretty much. I am partially barrel chested. I also WAS a smoker. I'm now on Day 15 of no smoking. Yes she did have a hard time hearing for a few minutes.
It always astonishes me that the Karens in these stories feels entitled and justified in hitting people, whether or not they are employed there or not
Always remember that when a Karen ask you if you think she is stupid, the proper answer is "YES!". Also, when asked if you want to press charges, again the proper answer is "YES!"
To the guy feeling sympathy for his attacker because she couldn't know he had a condition: always remember that she didn't care. You were a thing made to serve her. She hopefully learned better, but I would suspect she still thinks you ruined her life for no reason and she was completely right.
There's nothing funny about Alzheimer's (my father has to take care of a parent who has it, it's horrible), but boy did that Karen deserve that.
story 5: listening to the damage that OP accidently brought onto her life after the Karan tried to rip his arm off, even though he was defending himself, I felt my soul leave my body like a pro revenge story it was just...I need to sit down after that.
Yeah that's one of the few times I've actually felt bad for a Karen, heck I'd hug this lady and say "I'm sorry this happened to you" cause listening to this story just left me shocked and a bit saddened if that makes any sense
Doubt the husband would have divorced her if this was a one-off. I expect she had a habit of doing it but, this time, it backfired spectacularly.
It's not ProRevenge ... It's AccidentallyNuclearRevenge
I'm not sure she deserved to lose her job for it, but the rest of it? Definitely.
@@schrodingerscat3741
Maybe it was back Karma.
Alzheimer is no laughing matter. But dammit....... that story when the guy says that Karen has alzheimer has me on the floor.
Story 5: hell yes that woman deserved what she got
Yeah, it seems like a pre-existing domino effect just waiting to fall. OP was just the initial reaction.
Second story: I need to add that to my IDWHL defense arsenal.
Regarding the question in these circumstances, “Do you think I’m stupid?”. The answer will usually be, “Yes, yes I do. I also think you’re (rude, ugly, entitled, or whatever).
Damn I'm laughing my a## off at that 2nd story. I enjoy listening to these in the back around and this has got to be the best way someone has dealt with a Karen so far.
"tore a ligament in my shoulder, couldn't afford to fix it, so just lived with it for *10 years*"
america feels so bloody unreal
You grab me you are taking a steel-toed boot to the face.
I never knew you trained tae kwon do.
Tell me you're American without telling me you're American: _A bit over 10 years ago I tore ligaments in my shoulder but I couldn't afford to fix it so I just lived with it for 10 years._
And you must be an European prat who thinks nothing of giving half of their paychecks to the government to fund the “free healthcare” you prats so proudly brag about.
Story 4: Analysis; Crazy Woman thinks that People who dress nicely are Managers
Diagnosis; Classism, Delusion, Being a Karen
That last story reminded me a problem we had. We had lived in our town around 10 years, before a pizza place opened up down the street. Their number was one number off from ours and we started getting calls for pizza orders. After a few days of this, I went down to the pizza place to see if something could be done with their number. "Too bad, I'm not changing my f**king number." was the answer I got from the owner, before telling me to order something, or leave. I just smiled and left. That night I started taking pizza orders and giving away bread sticks with every large pizza. I'd occasionally get calls back complaining about deliveries and sometimes about taking orders when we didn't work at the place. I explained to the irate customers what the mix up was and the owner's attitude towards the problem and they understood. The pizza place changed their number a few weeks later and all was right in the world again. Payback is a "B".
I'm pretty sure that the woman in story 5's husband left her and took the kids because that wasn't her only instance of being unstable and violent. She probably terrorized her family so they jumped at the chance to leave her. I would.
#2 OP really messed that Karen up. Calling her insane in a way that she could not refute.
#5 It would be nothing but a just return of thing of that Karen gets pestered by a complain of other Karens.
Story 5, the shoulder injury, goes to show how dangerous it is to do more than lightly tap someone's shoulder to point something out. If, heaven forfend, you decide someone who is being insulting or improper, be it on the bus or in the bar, needs a crack in the jaw to straighten him out, you are then responsible for WHATEVER happens as a result. If he turns out to have an aneurysm that ruptures when he hits the ground; if he cracks his skull on a metal-frame chair; you are going to be talking to a DA about the charges you're facing. Hitting people is scary business.
Story 5. OP was justified in his punching of Karen’s face. She grabbed OP without permission and he was just defending himself.
"Large example of humanity" *Chuckle*
Totally love the writing style.
Story 3: Bravo OP!!
Story 6: "You must have been talking to the ghost of Mister Abbey! Wooooo!" OMG! Hilarious!!
Oh that second story...I love it ! I have GOT TO remember that !!
STory 2 - That was an amazing way to handle it. I am not sure it was a GOOD way, but it was amazing. Certainly shut down the karen. Almost kind, too: it let the karen off the hook.
Story 5 commentary - If she's "lucky," the person who finally makes her face consequences for hitting them will only press charges. There are people who would do things in response to that that would get THEM thrown in jail, and while I'm sure the Karen would be emotionally satisfied by getting to ruin somebody else's life, the injuries she may suffer in the process probably wouldn't make it worth it to her.
There’s no way I’d be able to have half the restraint as fiancé. If a woman touched my fiancée I’d deal with her the same way one would deal with a rabid animal.
Final story: Back when I still had a home phone, I had an answering machine, and the message included my first and last name. It was the only name on the message, and there was no indication that someone else lived there. Way too often, I would get a message for a person with a different name. These were important messages, like from doctor's offices or law firms. It was shocking that the people making these calls didn't hang up and recheck the number. No, they left their message and washed their hands of the whole thing.
I remember an incident at Wal-Mart where I was accused of being a knomira (karen) and the manager had to defend me from a "white knight" idiot.
I'd lost my voice due to having a very bad cold and I had to get some groceries. Yes I was wearing a mask, I always wear one if I have a cold or the flu, to protect others. So I needed help to reach something but I couldn't talk, so I went to an employee, tapped their shoulder, and wrote down what I needed with a note that "I can't talk right now" on the note. Well, this of a guy saw me do that and before the employee could help me, he came barrelling over and was screaming at the top of his lungs that I was a b-word, and an entitled wh.......e, for not even being willing to TALK to employees to ask for something. I couldn't, of course, defend myself becuase I couldn't talk, and he wouldn't look at the note I'd written. And refused to listen to the employee when she was trying to explain she understood why I had to write the note. He screamed out that I was a "racist p.o.s. that needs to get the sh... kicked out of me." All because I didn't talk to the employee, I gave her a note.
Long story short, yes manager was called, he was forced to shut up for ten seconds so he could see WHY I didn't say anything, still spat and called me a racist f-ing b-word for writing a note, and he got forced to leave the store.
People, if someone isn't talking, there may be a VERY good reason for it. Unless they're being physical with the employee, or it's obvious that they're harassing the employee, or another customer, LEAVE IT ALONE. It's not your business.
Thank God you did what you did it teaches these people need to learn and let’s hope she gets people like her as customers
Story 2: I think it was more of the dementia that she didn't want to deal with and tried to get away at that point... I agree it is a novel way to deal with a Karen.
Its amazing how people think harassing a first responder is a good idea, they obviously don't work there, and have better things to do. But it isn't limited to them, these idiots harass linemen too, thinking somehow that bothering a couple random linemen eating lunch will get their lights back on faster.
Also knew a friend that had a similar phone number issue, our county had just gotten a second area code. So when this new restaurant opened they had the same number different area code. She tried the diplomatic approach, but when they told her to F off, it was game on. she would basically start booking none existent reservations for people who would naturally show up and be furious. They literally begged her to stop, but she told them the same thing they told her F off. They changed the number shortly after.
I would have called the phone book company and tell him to get rid of the number out of the phone book because it's out of business. And if that didn't work I'd say I'm going to sue you guys for inconvenience me and emotional damages with these phone calls constantly. My family has a habit of saving phone books and then writing phone numbers on top of it so we can throw the phone books out.
How are they going to take a listing out of hundreds or thousands of already printed and distributed phone books? That's as moronic as most of the Karens in this video.
That's one bus driver who I am sure, has been an angel in disguise for many folks. Well done, sir, always watching.
As the superintendent of a utility company, I’m glad I found out about the manager costume. My daily outfit is jeans and tee shirt
Love how DarkFluff uses actual Karens for the thumbnails.
Story 5: OP got it totally wrong! He should be praying to the karma gods that the entitled woman has to deal with Karen's and Ken's on a daily basis! That would probably be more corrective, behaviour wise, than losing her job, her family, all her money and going to prison combined! And this story is a PERFECT example of why you should never🙏🏻 put🙏🏻your🙏🏻hands🙏🏻on🙏🏻another🙏🏻person!!! You could end up paying for that 1 "mistake" for the rest of your life! I just want to know how long is it gonna take all the other entitled people to learn this? Or am I just wishing on a star with this dream?
Are... Are you defending the Karen that almost ripped OP's arm off?
She deserved EVERY bit of that, honestly. This could have led to OP's death, so she could have gone with even more jail time at minumum.
@@LloydTheZephyrian
Idk how you got defending? Just saying that now that the lady is having to work a retail job herself now she should incounter a Karen or Kevin every day in her work place. So she understands how much of a horrible person she has been to other store workers in her life.
Best thing to listen to while procrastinating lol
LMAO same
I see managers, walking around like they're shoppers,,, but they don't know they're managers.
OMG!! The story about pulling the person's arm was mind-blowing!
Rude Karen grabbing previously injured guy: I was watching Judge Judy when she asked a 1st year law student if he had covered a certain case. It turns out that there is a classic law case that covers exactly this. It basically goes, "If not for the actions that person A did, then no further damage would have been caused. Therefore, Person A is responsible for all of the damages." That is set law in the country.
When my parents moved in to their current house (49 years ago), the number they were assigned had previously belonged to a trash company. For the next decade they still received 3-4 class a year for the trash service. What makes it worse is that back then phone numbers weren’t recycled for at least a year.
Story 2: I Love Counterattack stories, OP got some great Petty Revenge on that Karen by labeling her as Crazy
I mean, is he wrong?.
I can't even imagine touching a sttamger, let alone grabbing them. If I need someone's attention I keep saying excuse me louder and louder until they notice me. Lots of folks, including me, are on their own engrossed world when shopping
Yay!!! Consequences!!! I LOVE consequences!
The last story happened to me. It was ridiculous the calls I got. Rude people asking for my car. Never polite, complaining to me about needing a car. My number was also a car rental that went belly up.
I sat somewhere near a guy like that in class once. My eyes STUNG. It was so bad, and we were sat so packed in I couldn't pin down who it was. I don't understand why people do that.
I had an employee come in like that after about 2 weeks of working there... in a customer service place; so, yes dealing with the public. I asked him to please return home to shower and use deodorant. He told me that he was allergic to soaps and deodorants. I then asked him that why the previous week he hadn't smelled like that and he had no excuses. I repeated myself and added, you can use baking soda and water and it will achieve much of the same result as he was eating a "Little Debbie" snack cake, which I KNOW contains baking soda. I also added, if you don't return with a clean uniform and body, please do not return. He hadn't been washing his uniform or his body from the moment he had been hired. He left and never returned except to pick up his last check. Oddly enough... his WIFE... NEVER smelled bad. She was no "looker" but she was always clean.
On hot summer days working out in the yard... I can smell myself and can't stand it. Beyond that... I FEEL gross. I don't get it at all. I make my own soaps... I like being clean.
Karen: When I say you help me, you hel-
OP: Mommy? Sorry. Mommy?
I'm waiting for someone to tell a 'help demanding' Karen that there is no help for them, cause clearly they don't understand "I don't work here"
i believe everyone should work retail so everyone has to deal with dumb people and entitled people
Retail, food service, or a call center. Then again, my mother could get Karen-ish with waitstaff even though she’d waited tables when she first moved away from her parents.
In the last story I don't understand why they didn't just change their phone number ? All they had to do was tell the phone company what the issue was and they probably would have changed it no problem. They spent way too much time and energy dealing with that crap. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💙💚💙💚💙💚
Back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and everyone had landlines, changing your number wasn't easy. It normally took several days, and then you had to notify each person individually that your number had been changed (no contact lists).
It was, really, a pain in the rear.
Honestly, given that it's in the time of Yellow Pages & answering machines, odds are that the phone company wouldn't readily change someone's phone number.
Landline phone companies could be pretty scummy, almost on par with ISPs now.
@@TheAttacker732 They also charged for it, IIRC. And college students might prefer dealing with the wrong number calls to spending money on changing the number.
Story 5 was beautiful. Not only did he get to a punch a woman on the face and get off scott free but she lost her job, kids, husband, and life.
First story - the bus driver should have dealt with the smelly guy long before he did!
Second story: This is proof that you can fight crazy with crazy.
5 years in jail?!!! Wow!!!! Absolutely AWESOME!!! Finally a Karen gets what she *DESERVES!*
She must have had a previous rap sheet to get 5 years.
What always gets to me with these stories is what ever happen to asked if someone work there first if you are confused.
S2: great comeback
If a stranger touches you, they deserve anything and everything that comes their way.
I remember when I was a teenager, our phone number ended in 2253. There was a private taxi firm up the road who’s number ended 2255 and an Indian restaurant whose number ended 2254. Despite telling callers that they had the wrong number, we still got people asking for taxis and takeouts, even at 2am which wasn’t a nice way to be awoken !
I got sick of people calling, so I started to book their tables at the restaurant, and taxis to their address !
And I heard from others that had been at the restaurant of nights when parties of people would turn up for their ‘booking’ only to be told that they didn’t have one and all hell would break loose !
It did it’s job though, as the restaurant changed the last 4 numbers of its phone line and the taxi firm got an entirely different number !
As an ex bus driver, I commend the driver in the first story. In the UK it is technically illegal to stop anywhere to let passengers off, apart from bus stops and traffic control, since if someone were to fall, or get injured in some way, they are not covered by the companies insurance. Didn't stop me from doing it anyway for female passengers, especially at night.
Story 4: it’s actually rare for me to hear stories from a “Strafesay”. It’s probably because it’s like a upper middle class store but I do have stories from my local “Fresh Prince” store, sister store to “Wavelies”. Man, I have a set of Karen’s the other day that were upset with me because I couldn’t hear the question and did not smile to them. They’re weren’t even next! They were third in line and my focus was with whoever I have at that moment. There’s also those plastic barriers that was install when covid hit which makes it harder to hear anything. Since I didn’t answer their question and was confused what was asked of me, they went to the person at self checkout to complain. My friend told me later how rude they were to me for something I didn’t do and couldn’t hear. And what they were trying to ask? If they could get some hand sanitizer from the other check stand. They could have waited for their turn to ask as I had one in my check stand to give. And the irony of this, they have a coin star that was over $100. So even if they waited patiently, I would have to send them to the person at self checkout either way because I didn’t have enough money in my till and any coinstars that’s over $100 requires a manager signature. And this was barely 8am. That was one very long shift that day.
I recently had an 'I don't work here' encounter. I was at Big W with my mum on Easter Saturday, and once in the store, I wanted out as my social anxiety started to spike as there were more people than usual. My mum decided to go down the Easter chocolate isle and I followed with the cart.
Note: I had just finished volunteering at a local opportunity shop, so I was wearing a black button shirt and dark blue jeans. Similar to the employee uniform, but not exact.
Anyway, at some point my mum asked me if I wanted some last minute chocolate. I said no, but mum insisted as I only had one Easter chocolate. So I went away from the cart and my mum to go searching. And I found one in the next isle, a chocolate egg with little caramel eggs. But upon seeing the price, I put it back. And as I walked away, a lady asked me:
Lady: Excuse me, do you know how much this is?
Me: sorry, but I don't know, I don't work here.
Lady: that's fine
And I got to walk away unarmed or anyone else unarmed. The lady did soon find the price. I quickly hurried to my mum, asking if we could leave. Thankfully, she was done picking out some chocolate for dad, and we hurried to the cashier.
And I did end up getting the chocolate egg with little caramel eggs in another store.
A good ending.
I had a I don't work here but I was the person asking for help. Luckily it's wholesome as I know better then to be mean as I worked in retail for years. But I was in Ross and I see a woman wearing a blue vest, similar to the workers here in Ross. So I walked up and as if the fitting rooms were open (pre pandemic but they tend to close them due to maintenance) and she smiled and said she doesn't work there and showed me her Walmart blue vest. I never felt so embarrassed my entire life. But she came up and gave me a hug and said it made her day and told me to have a blessed day.
My God that clap back in story two was brilliant I wish I had the balls to pull off something like that
In story 5 the reason the Karen got hit with the charge she did comes from something commonly known as the eggshell skull rule. If you do something that causes great harm by doing something that would on most people would be a harmless thing, like say bopping the head of someone with a skull as fragile as an eggshell, you are held at fault for all injuries done even if you didn't know about the condition beforehand.
I don’t understand why, once they’ve been told “I don’t work here” they persist in their ridiculousness
First Responder Uniforms REALLY need to start including Cattle Prods...
For when they're accosted by a Wild Karen, they have the ability to try jump-starting what Karen's laughably call their minds with 250,000 Volts...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Awesome "My mom has dementia" the best one ever
Karen: I'll have you know, my husband-
Me: Oh my god, you're married?! That poor bastard!
I can relate to that shoulder injury. When I was young (about 11 or 12) I was playing football (soccer for the Americans) with some other kids my age. At one point, I tripped and fell between the ball and the kid kicking it. This resulted in me getting kicked squarely in the back. The muscle over my shoulder blade got partially separated from the bone. It was deemed inoperable. It reattached on its own and healed, but it healed crooked, reattached in the wrong alignment. To this day (more than 30 years later) it still causes me pain from time to time.
Story 5: The awesome, justified feeling I got when OP knocked the Karen's teeth in, that feeling where you just want someone to get hurt for acting that way and they rightfully do. Just feels awesome. You reap what you sow, Karen.
I love how creative people are getting dealing with Karen's! 😅
The woman who got her nose broken and teeth knocked out...no, she had no way of knowing that OP had a pre-existing condition. However, neither did she have any way of knowing he didn't have some condition that she might be aggravating, or some emotional or mental condition that she might be triggering. Her willingness to attack others for no other reason than an overblown sense of entitlement gives a glowing insight into her character, or more likely her total lack thereof. OP should feel no sense of regret for what happened to her. How many other people has she inflicted pain/suffering/humiliation on just because she felt she had some right to? Or would have in the future? He did society a definite solid.
I'm so tickled to hear of a Karen that actually got what she had coming cheese of Fallon and that's never going to go away
In the first story my gods what ever problem the guy has can be fix or prevented by taking a very good and deep shower.
I always love the little ‘I/we love you’ that you end the video with. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and I’m not typically the sentimental type.
Relate to story 1 so much! I had to take the bus while I was in school for my pharmacy tech license. I had so many people look at my scrubs and try to tell me all their problems. Never got one that bad but they never wanted to hear you say that you weren't a doctor or nurse.
Not changing the phone number and messing with people is the most on brand thing I can imagine for college students.
I’ve seen a ton of these videos and it never fails to amaze me that people think it’s ok to grab someone else or their property if they think they’re being ignored… people suck. 🤷🏻♀️
The more I listen to these stories, the more likely I'm going to be rude to a Karen the second they mistaken me for an employee.
*Just thinking about that first dude makes me sick!!!* 🤢 *That poor girl!!!* 😖
Story 6: It's always fun to hear stories where OP gets a phone number for a business and then gets creative when countering the dumb customers
I don't know the tune that OP put on that out going message tape, but I would have picked "Heard It Through The Grape Vine", the CCR cover totaling over 11 minutes, the one with the very long instrumental part at the end.
Oooh or that song Monster by that hard rock band Skillet. Not long, but definitely not something you’d want to listen to if you don’t like the genre.🤣
@@nonnativenarnian I love that band, if you like it too I could recommend Starset, they're pretty good too
Story 5: VINDICATION. Poor OP tho ouch. At least he could get it fixed after all that...
