Karen Demands To Have Kids With Me!

hey there Mr redder here welcome back to another  episode of Reddit podcast stories where today my girlfriend of seven years told me that either  we have kids now or she's breaking up with me my girlfriend and I we have a rocky relationship  when it's good which is 98% of the time it's great we have so much fun together we laugh a lot and we  even started a business together but when it's bad it's really bad we typically have problems one  weekend every month when my girlfriend goes out and drin

ks she gets really mean it's not uncommon  for us to get into an argument and for her to walk out of the restaurant or bar and just leave me  there when this happens she'll ignore my texts calls and I won't see her until she decides to  come home sometimes which is very late at night 4 a.m. she also calls me names we always make up  the next morning and I keep most of it to myself if I bring it up she usually says that I'm the  problem and I'm controlling and I drive her to do these things she's

given me an old ultimatum to  have kids or break of it's been 7 years of dating and 6 years of living together I've told her that  we shouldn't have kids when our relationship is so volatile she gave me until tomorrow to make a  decision but how can I have kids and get married when one weekend a month she's so mean to me we  don't have any trust because she'll walk out on me in an argument go to a bar talk to other men  Etc she won't fully acknowledge her actions I've told her over and over tha

t I need at least 6  months of proving to me that we can have a good relationship without feeling hurt there's so  much resentment that when I bring up the thing she says she places blame on me about 2 months  ago she had a terrible Health scare and had to go into emergency surgery I spent seven days and  nights with her in the hospital I didn't leave her side once I thought the experience was going to  solve our problems but it hasn't also out of the blue 2 weeks ago she said she's going to sig

n a  lease for an apartment because she doesn't think I'm ready for kids I asked her not to move out  and to give me two weeks the two weeks are up I understand she doesn't want to waste any more  time and I don't want to waste her time either but I'm conflicted and Confused I'm scheduling a call  with a relationship therapist for later today but I haven't told friends or family about this I'm  leaning towards saying something to the effect of I love you and I don't want this to end but I  can't

start having kids and get married when we have these problems I think the problem should be  fixed first if you can't wait for that I guess we have to break up well it's probably time to break  up up then you've been together for 7 years if you're not going to have kids now when's it going  to happen it's just going to keep being postponed and you're right why should you have kids with her  when your relationship is so dysfunctional it's been multiple years of a roller coaster if things  haven'

t stabilized by now it's not going to happen kids won't save your relationship it thickens  the plot and makes things more complicated you need to deal with this toxic behavior on her  end it's probably best to break up and get it over with seems like everyone wins with the break  break up break up with her listen bro it's pretty clear from your post that you don't want to marry  her and don't want to have kids with her maybe you told her the issues you had maybe you didn't  but regardless you'r

e here now she gave you an ultimatum that you're not interested in accepting  so the best you can do is try to stall which is what you've been doing with the counseling thing  nah your relationship has hit its expiration date the only thing left to do is the logistics of  untangling your lives and separating well what do you think should op do relationship counseling  or just break up with her please let us know bruh I really hope he lets her become someone else's  headache am I the jerk because

I don't want to take care of my husband's ex-wife I 32 female  have been married to my husband who's 40 for 2 years he brought two kids into the marriage and I  have one of my own we don't have any kids together my husband was previously married and has been  divorced for about a decade his kids live with their mother nearby like 20 minutes away initially  she showed some petty Behavior but nothing major she's very entitled and judgmental she often makes  snide remarks about my working too much

Etc she would make contrasting statements about me and my  husband's marriage compared to hers to the point where one day I told her that her relationship  with my husband was over and she needs to move on my husband backed me up and she stopped her  ways I honestly don't think she's over him but that has nothing to do with me she's unemployed  since getting fired 15 years ago and relies on her kids to get more time and money from my husband  she's been unwell lately not managing her health eff

ectively and has been using her condition to  collect sympathy points from my husband asking him to be there at doctor's appointments of course  to watch the kids while she's there asking him for rides constantly because she doesn't feel safe  driving she always wants to tag along when we take the kids out she has a boyfriend by the way lately  she's been suggesting to my husband that she isn't well enough to take care of her kids right now  they have shared custody and they're with us every oth

er weekend and during school vacations she  told my husband that I should sell my house which I bought before we even met to downgrade and buy  a smaller home and build her a tiny house on the land close to us to provide more support for the  kids and her I was flabbergasted that she would even mention this to me I couldn't understand  why I needed to sell my house to accommodate her I offered to have the kids live with us but she  declined stating that she prefers to stay close to the kids and

doesn't trust us to raise them she  has a boyfriend and family nearby but insists on receiving care only from us even saying that my  husband made vows to her before he made vows to me I feel totally disrespected I don't want to  sell my house and I don't want to have a grown woman freeloading off of me I believe she should  rely on her existing support system most of my in-laws say that I'm being selfish and I don't  need such a big house anyway my husband hasn't expressed anything either way w

hich is annoying I  want to Stand My Ground but I'm starting to feel like a jerk because she is sick update thanks  everyone I think I need to Stand My Ground here I'll speak with him tonight and update I'm really  tired of his ex and I don't think she should be the main character in our lives anymore I want  to put this here because a lot of people have been asking why my husband won't speak up this  was my response he says he doesn't want to be a deadbeat father because his father was and she 

often threatens to not allow him to see them even at our wedding she would not allow the kids to  be there unless she was also invited up date I spoke to my husband and told him that there was  absolutely no way I was going to sell my house I told him that my house was an investment that I  planned to one day pass it to my kids as an asset that he and his parents and his ex are dead wrong  for suggesting that I sell it I said that if his parents have something to say then they can build  a tiny

home for her on their 10 acres of land he agreed and said he's been feeling bad that he was  entertaining the idea but his ex was guilting him because of her condition she has Ms I told him  that he will no longer be supplementing her lifestyle and no more running errands I'm his wife  and I should be his priority I told him that he has to call her in front of me and tell her this  he called her and told her that he will no longer be used as a placeholder for her boyfriend  and she needs to sto

p trying to manipulate everyone she said it was unfortunate that I was  acting insecure and that I was interfering with their healthy co-parenting relationship she said  that I was young and immature and should consider their kids and she knew that this would happen  one day I told her that she needs to stop being lazy and take care of herself and her kids and  stop freeloading off everyone else I told her that she needs to be focusing her attention on her  current relationship because that's he

r best shot at a decent future because we are pulling back  effectively immediately she immediately started crying and said she was feeling sick and needs  to go to the emergency room and needed to end the conversation to protect herself and her  health we couldn't really get into outlining all of the boundaries before she just hung up and  blocked both of us I typed out an email and copied all parties involved and sent it to her I'm so  mad right now I'm seeing red I want to provide Clarity She

was recently diagnosed maybe a year  ago she's been manipulating since I met her but she has been more invasive after Her diagnosis  she has been out of work for 15 years which is the only reason that I call her lazy she's on  every government subsidy we could get her on I help facilitate this when she was diagnosed but  she keeps wanting and expecting more I admit that I felt bad for her for a long time which is why I  let it go on for so long but asking me to sell my house is beyond my limit

this is extremely weird  your husband needs to be 100% on your side he needs to shut this down now not you him otherwise  he's in on it and you really need to look at this as you versus everyone else problem not the  jerk for not wanting to help your husband's ex any family members who call you selfish can  step up and take care of her themselves and am I the jerk for telling my husband to deal with it  when suffering from a kidney stone like he told me while I was in labor pain so I 26 female a

nd my  husband 32 male welcomed our baby boy about a year ago it was my first pregnancy and honestly it was  pretty rough the labor pain was incredibly severe still I wanted natural delivery so I went through  all of it due to the severe pain I couldn't control and I was screaming and crying my husband  who hasn't slept the whole night got agitated by the screaming and said to me to just try to deal  with it instead of screaming like this I honestly cried because of his comment and the pain the 

baby was born a few hours later and we sort of forgot the incident few days ago my husband felt  sudden pain in his stomach and it only got more and more severe to the point where we had to take  him to the hospital at that moment the doctor did a few checkups and told him that he had a kidney  stone and needs treatment since the pain was so severe my husband got painkiller shots even during  that he was screaming at the top of his lungs at that moment I got petty and since I was already  fussy

from sleeplessness due to taking care of a toddler I said to my husband can't you just deal  with it for a while why are you shouting so much he was shocked and then later remained quiet when  we went home he was still quiet and when asked he told me how insensitive I was and how he felt so  bad to this I reminded him of the time when he said the same thing now he's so angry and calling  me Petty that he didn't mean anything but I had malicious reasons so am I the jerk edit to all  the people a

sking if we love each other yes we do it wasn't like I held on to what he said to me  however in that moment everything was so similar to that time that I remembered that incident and  in the spur of the moment I said it to him I did not ask him to go out of the delivery room or  make a big deal about it that time because even though I was hurt I understood his sentiments as  well stress from work sleeplessness overwhelming feeling of being a parent for the first time and  a constantly screaming

wife can really really mess with a person I didn't want to keep him away from  being the witness of his kid's birth or ruin his later moments with the baby just because of that  was it a childish thing to say yes but that does not mean we didn't fulfill our responsibilities  he took care of me and did everything a dad should and I did everything for him likewise no we are  not going to divorce each other for such silly banters it's not like we always fight or act  Petty if I wanted to be real P

etty then I could have done a lot of other things as well but that  wasn't my intention yes we have child conversation sometimes but they are usually funny banters it's  one of the very few times where I wanted to come and get some insight update I went to my husband  and apologized he said I don't have to and he was not angry just embarrassed we talked about it and  actually found it quite funny sure he was acting like he was angry but that just means that he  rolled his eyes at me and had an e

xpression like are you serious so yeah he doesn't hate me and  neither do I hate him I will be preparing a nice dinner for us all since the past few days have  been so exhausting and my husband needs a good treat as well so yeah nothing too crazy as some  of you expected have a good day people edit to it wasn't really about which pain is worse everyone  has their own experiences to everyone who shared their experiences I hope you are all in Better  Health now I could see my wife doing exactly th

is sort of thing if she were in that situation  so I'll go with not the jerk was it a mature or a kind decision not really so I suppose it makes you  a little mean but hopefully he will quit wallowing in self-pity and realized that dismissing the pain  of someone he claims he loves is beyond callous and was wrong of him you were Petty but you were  Justified tell him your pettiness stems from how you have never forgotten how he spoke to you when  you were at your most vulnerable how'd he like th

em apples not the jerk well who do you think is  the jerk op or her husband please let us know hey Reddit boy didn't you just have a kidney stone  a few months ago I sure did so I'd record for 10 minutes then go lay down and roll around in  agonizing pain for 10 minutes and repeated that cycle for half the day wow now that's dedication  am I the jerk for controlling what my boyfriend eats I 23 female have been dating my boyfriend  Jake who's 24 for 4 years I'd say we're a very happy couple overa

ll but lately this argument has  come up that's divided us he's always had unique tastes cereal with orange juice instead of milk  mayo and butter sandwiches and raw onions have been the worst culprits I'll put up with these we  all have our quirks right well two weeks ago he started eating Garlic as his midnight snack raw  cloves of garlic I can't share a drink with him without it raking of garlic somehow and kissing  him it's like shoving a clove of garlic straight into your mouth he swears th

at he's only eating  them because he didn't want them to go to waste and that he would stop once he finished the head  of garlic but just when I finally thought it was over I caught him sneaking a second one into the  kitchen last night when he thought I was asleep I confronted him about his secret grocery trip this  morning and he got really defensive and denied it I'm trying not to be a nag here but it's really  wearing on me the garlicky aura surrounding him makes me want to avoid him at all

costs but like I  don't want to do that because he's my boyfriend am I the jerk for giving him an ultimatum of no more  eating Garlic edit his diet seems healthy overall and he goes to the gym a lot he had a doctor's  appointment not long ago and I don't think anything came up but I can ask him to go again if  you really can't stand it convey that op I tried to explain when I talked to him this morning I  told him that the other weird food combos don't really bother me as much but the particular

smell  of this one is too much he said that I just need more time to get used to it but it's been nearly  2 weeks already maybe if you eat more you'll get used to it and maybe he's suffering from a vitamin  deficiency and should go to a doctor op I tried that too when he first started I ate a bite just  to see if it was actually good but I just can't bring myself to eat anymore he's not talking to  me this morning but I'll try texting him tomorrow about a doctor's appointment as for his usual d

iet  besides the occasional unique food choice I think he's pretty healthy is there anything else weird  going on we haven't been going out on our usual dates for the past 2 months because he's had  to leave to take calls a bit but that's just because he's been swamped at work nothing weird  his busy season is almost over though which is good update yesterday evening I tried texting him  about seeing aor like you guys suggested he never replied I guess he still has me muted I spent  the night to

ssing and turning I kept going over what I was going to say to him when he got home  not that it mattered because he didn't come back home last night that worried me so this morning  I checked his location he stopped sharing it with me through his phone but I guess he forgot I can  still see it on Snapchat it showed him about 30 minutes away at some house off of a random back  road I was pretty confused and honestly panicked all of his friends that I know live in the city I  tried to call him ag

ain but was sent a voicemail so I drove over there to see what was up when I  got to the house I noticed a woman about my age gardening in the front yard I was pretty upset  already so I flat out asked her if she had seen my partner she seemed surprised and asked if I  meant Jake she invited me inside and there he was apparently she's into gardening and they met  at her stand last fall when he went to stock up on onions at our local farmers market they hit  it off and have been seeing each other

for the past 6 months and made it official back when  his busy season started she said lately she's been giving Jake the garlic she grew last summer  since it's going to go bad soon that's why he was so insistent on eating it by himself instead  of cooking it into a shared dish like normal and why he's been eating onions like an apple  instead of letting me use them on my sandwiches he didn't want to give me her presents because in  his own words she grew it with love for me and if you ate them

you would have known at that point  I saw red so I just left since then Jake's been blowing up my phone about how we can fix this and  that he won't do it again but I'm so over it at this point just when I thought my life couldn't  get any worse while I was moving his stuff to the curb I found his stash of garlic shoved in  the back of his closet was one pound of garlic in a Home Depot bucket along with letters she had  written him I'm keeping the garlic I don't think we can ever come back from

his cheating but I'm  going to at least get some good meals out of this terrible situation please send me your favorite  recipes to use the garlic in I need a distraction to keep my mind off of everything I really don't  want to be laughing at op's Misfortune but finding love letters that your boyfriend's garlic farmer a  fair partner has written next to a pound of garlic in a Home Depot bucket is a hilarious mental  image my boyfriend's family lost their home in a fire and they're asking me to

put my name  on a mortgage so that they can buy a new house I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 4 years  now living together for about two I'll cut to the chase his family his mom dad and sister they had  a house fire in January and they've stayed with us in our one-bedroom apartment for a couple of  weeks until their insurance got them a hotel now they're in the hotel his family had 10 cats and  nine of those cats are in the apartment with us currently so it's me him and nine cats right 

now they pay for the food and the litter but I've bought them a cat tower and some toys they'  basically destroyed my couch but I figured they would and it was a cheap couch this past Sunday  2 days ago they went to see a realtor to talk to him about buying a house where they lived was a  place they rented for a decade and the landlord was upset about the fire so they don't want to  go back there even when the house is fixed my boyfriend was supposed to be the one on the  loan because his parent

s aren't citizens and would have to pay a huge down payment but since he  has a social security number he can get a regular rate the problem is he doesn't make enough on his  own if I helped with the loan our combined income would be enough to qualify if I go in on the loan  we could stay with his family in the house and save for our own house later we'd have more space  which would be great because I'm trying to start a business and I wouldn't be living in the one  bedroom with nine cats but it

's also a 30-year mortgage loan he's told me that whatever I decide  to do won't affect our relationship but I'm afraid this will for me if I don't decide to go in on  the loan his parents said they'll get a trailer and take the cats but his sister who's 19 would  still probably end up living with us because her job is close to us and she doesn't drive I feel  like I'm losing it I feel like no matter what I do I'm losing something I'm so conflicted I've  asked the advice of my mom and some frien

ds and they think they're asking too much but if I don't  go in on the house I'm still in this apartment that costs too much and adding an extra person to  our space so I'm asking should I just let them put my name on the mortgage loan or should I accept  that his sister will be living with us I hate to add any more elements of stress to their lives  because they've already been through so much but now it's leaking into my life a lot edit I like to  clear this up they're not pressuring me but it

's it's obviously a tense situation for them because  they know it's their housing in the line they're just kind of at the mercy of insurance paying  for their hotel it's a desperate situation and a desperate ask I will talk to my boyfriend today  about different options I spoke to my mom who is a homeowner and she advised against this but seeing  all of your reasons as well like not being able to get a second mortgage because of this one is  a nail in the coffin I'll suggest his sister stay wit

h us as long as she is looking for another  place of her own and encourage her to maybe look to roommate with a good friend of hers maybe I  knew this would be a risky move but seeing how much it really takes for me just no I'll update  later but have peace of mind that I will not be taking out a mortgage for his family edit the  house would be in my name on the deed the cats are not destroying my apartment as so many people  are assuming just the couch I obviously care about these people which

is why I would even consider it  so please stop creating a story in your head where I'm some sucker wanting to be scammed update I'll  be honest I was was not inclined to sign anything not because I didn't think his family would  follow through or anything I just knew I didn't know enough to make this decision homeownership is  a distant thought right now at the Wii age of 25 I came here hoping to see if this is something  people actually do and what it would mean for me and my boyfriend if we d

id the obvious risk was  what if we broke up but I knew there was more than that and you all made that clear first things  first no mortgage I made that post yesterday morning and after reading through the comments  that actually gave me insight into something like this I realized yeah there's no way we can do  this I wish it was a viable option to solve their current problem but it just isn't fortunately by  the time I got home after work and talked to my boyfriend about it he also had realized

this was  not a good idea glad I had the foresight to make us wait before giving his family an answer it  just stunted too much of our own opportunities for the future so we were both on the same page  about it thank goodness someone mentioned that you can learn a lot about someone by how they handle  the word no and I can say that I didn't really Le learn anything but just confirm suspicions  I already had his mom was very understanding and I don't think she even understood what she  was askin

g when it came up after my boyfriend explained it to her she told his dad who's not  his biological dad or even his stepdad just his mom's longtime boyfriend this matters for the  next part his dad did not take it very well before any of this my boyfriend's parents told  him they would help him get his credit up so that he could take on the loan for the house they'd  help him pay off his credit card and obviously def front the money for the down payment and they  said even if we didn't help with

the house they'd still do that since he's helped so much already as  suspected though once we made it clear that it was not happening with the mortgage and how it would  damage our future chances at a home for ourselves his dad wasn't happy when his mom asked if they  would still pay my boyfriend's credit card his dad said no he didn't help us so we won't help  him is how he put it apparently yeah like I said my boyfriend's family is dysfunctional I can't  say I've ever had the most respect for

his dad but he's been there for most of my boyfriend's  life I have lots of thoughts of how this should go but ultimately we're just going to try problem  solving in different ways definitely no rushing into quick fixes maybe be less ready to help so  his dad can see what that's actually like also a note for all of you I understand that the  world is full of cruel people but I think a lot of you miss the context of the situation when  you cast judgment on his family's intentions this is a famil

y who has been displaced in a house fire  they're immigrants who aren't completely perfectly Savvy to all the logistics of buying a home the  reality for a lot of immigrants is that they do rush into terrible Solutions because they don't  always think that they have another option they know that they have less resources because they  lack citizen status and it's not uncommon for kids to help their parents in Extreme Ways and  that doesn't just apply to immigrants there are people all over the wo

rld taking extreme risks to  try and better their situation but since they have lived so long needing to think on their feet they  don't always feel like they can afford to look for other options all that to say practice ice a bit  more compassion I understand that this was too much of a risk for myself but that's not going  to stop me from helping them where I can this is a terrible idea do not do it they were renting  before they can find another place to rent do not make this your problem don

't do it I'm sorry for  your boyfriend's family but don't do it this can easily get you trapped if you consider it meet  with a lawyer and get a contract that's for your benefit and doesn't leave you with the cost for  all of this what if you do it and your boyfriend leaves any anyway anyway that sounds very fishy  to me if you were my client I would tell you as an accountant to stay away from this you are just  the girlfriend and you are in a position easily to be used well what would you do in

the situation  would you put your name on the mortgage or not please let us know I love compassion just as much  as the next Karen but sometimes you just got to put your foot down am I the jerk for breaking up  with my boyfriend and kicking him out because they wanted to let my brother go into the system I 26  female recently lost my dad he had a 15-year-old son my half brother Parker no one in my family  wants to take him in due to the fact that he's my dad's Affair child which he conceived du

ring  my late mother's cancer treatment despite this I love Parker dearly regardless of my dad's massive  being a jerk Parker is my little brother I work in a lucrative field and I own a nice condo which  my now ex-boyfriend Colin lived in with me rentree he did contribute to utilities and other expenses  though we have the perfect home for Parker and I can't for the life of me think of a single reason  that we couldn't take him in when I brought it up with Colin he said that he didn't want to I

  asked why and he said that he just doesn't feel like looking after a kid I reminded him that  Parker is 15 and won't need constant attention or babysitting or anything like that and Colin  said that Parker would need emotional attention because he lost his father I asked if he would  really rather throw a 15-year-old into the Foster system than deal with the emotional needs of said  15 18-year-old and Colin said yes while looking a bit shameful I ended up giving him the ultimatum  that Parker

and I are a package deal that I would be taking Guardianship and that Parker would  be moving in I made it clear that the only choice Colin had was if he wanted to keep the  relationship and stay in the house he called me heartless for choosing my cheating dad's son over  our 5-year relationship I called him heartless for talking that way about a kid and he looked at  me astonished and went to start packing I love my ex I really do but Parker comes first he's my own  flesh and blood the only bro

ther I have meanwhile there are plenty of other men out there still my  heart is breaking now that colins's moved out I miss him but I don't regret my decision every  time I think about what could have happened to my brother and Foster Care I feel more love for my  brother and less for Colin my entire friend group has sided with Colin and pretty much ghosted  me which is what's given my paw here was I The Jerk for what I did op either your entire friend  group are a bunch of jerks or Colin exagg

erated the tale to make himself look better reach out to  the person you were closest to among them and ask what he said not the jerk you're a real one and  your brother is lucky to have you Colin wanted to be your only dependent he didn't want your little  brother there because it would highlight how much of a Manchild Colin is and how he's not pulling  his weight the writing is on the wall trying to stop you from taking in your brother was Colin's  Hail Mary at preserving his Meal Ticket not w

anting someone else's 15-year-old kid makes  someone a Manchild holy cow this sub is crazy being willing to put your supposed loved one's  little brother into the Foster system because it might inconvenience you a little bit absolutely  does helping raise a troubled 15-year-old isn't an inconvenience especially when this economy means  he probably has to stay longer at home and won't just leave at 18 it's a commitment you're the jerk  I get where you're coming from but you're the jerk for tellin

g him that your brother comes first  first over a 5-year relationship you gave him no other choice than to leave now he was the jerk  and how he came across but you didn't give him any consideration and deciding how your relationship  would evolve no matter the situation I would never have just sprung it on my partner it would be a  conversation then if we both felt that strongly we'd end it but I'd never forced that decision  on someone that I cared for you're the jerk only saying comment here

if this is how op acts in a  relationship then her ex-boyfriend just dodged a bullet if you ask me not the jerk but y'all cut  Colin some slack they both want different things and that's okay he does not want a kid at this  point in his life op wants to take care of her little brother they're just not compatible with  what they want in their lives right now it does not mean either one is wrong Colin is a jerk  for calling the kid names though you're the jerk and I'm shocked people are trying to

back  your decision at all you basically told your boyfriend that he's living with a kid whether he  likes it or not and is going to disrupt each of your lives as you know it for the foreseeable  future you're really downplaying how much each of your lives change that's huge you also just  showed your boyfriend that your love for him is less valuable to you than this kid who he has no  affiliation with if you would have married your boyfriend would you have picked the kid over your  own husband

any partner that doesn't pick their significant other during tough times ain't worth  it when you're sitting alone after Parker leaves your apartment and your ex you love is married to  someone else you're going to feel like an idiot for this stupid ultimatum well who do you think is  the jerk op or her ex-boyfriend please let us know insane religious aunt berats my cousin over her  fiance and is shocked when her son sides against her cast we've got my innocent cousin we've got me  we've got my

very touchy subject and most of my family don't want to talk about it 2 months after the incident  poor boyfriend an innocent cousin got married in a church me me and cool cousin remained close  with them and we occasionally hang out sometimes entitled Aunt went to Dubai to live there with  her husband the rest of our families accepted the marriage without any problems menu changed  I won't be back I used to work in a dinin movie theater like waiters come to your seat and take  your order and br

ing you food menus and full meal sort of thing we had a full bar out front in the  lobby instead of a concession stand we still had popcorn and candy though mind you while the food  is decent it's just standard chain fair and most of it comes Frozen I've done every job in that  building except for cooking and managing at the point of time in this story I was a bartender our  menu had been mostly the same for the first six or so years on this particular chain being open  typical menu burgers and

pizza chicken tenders and salad sorts of thing suddenly corporate  stupidly decided to completely changed it we had new desserts and completely tossed out our  old ones new names for all our Burgers got read of our homemade pizza dough and a lot of pizza  favorites Etc but the biggest change was that they eradicated the chicken tenders and the kids  menu completely now kids had to order adult-sized Entre which we aren't exactly a kid-friendly  theater anyways anyone under 18 has to be with a par

ent more or less at all times and babies  under three are just flat out not allowed in the building because we are legally speaking a bar and  the tendies were replaced with boneless wing bites you get 8 to 12 of these measly little B balls  of breaded chicken that are tossed in sauce with fries or a salad naturally some customers were  frustrated but hey corporate decision I can't change it anyway as the bartender during the week  I was in charge of selling tickets and handing out menus during

the weekdays we rarely had a ticket  seller on duty out front so people are supposed to just walk in and purchase from me a woman who  we will call Karen and her 15 or soy- old son who will call Billy come in I know I've seen them  in before so they purchase tickets and Karen asks for a menu I ascented and launched into the little  Spiel management told me to give as I handed out the new menus me no problem just to let you know  our menu has changed as of a few days ago there are some awesome ne

w items but unfortunately some  of our old items have been replaced Karen oh well that's okay as long as I can still get chicken  tenders my son and I love them that's the only reason we come here instead of the theater we  actually live beside she begins to flip through the menu me cringing well actually the tenders are  one of the items that have been replaced we now have boneless wing bites they what do you mean you  can't take off the tenders Billy Mom it's cool we can just try the bites the

y better be as good as  the tenders she's grumbling as she stalks towards their assigned theater and her son gives me an  apologetic glance as he follows behind her they're the only people who end up in that theater again  weekday slow so when the ticket comes through 10 minutes into the movie for a drink in that one  I know it's hers to make it up to her that the tenders are gone I make her drink look extra  nice garnish all pretty and the color it was a blue raspberry spiked lemonade was fanta

stic  I tried super hard as a newbie bartender to make this thing look epic my manager took a photo of  it when I was done I was proud of that drink I'm friends with her waiter too so I tell the waiter  to make sure the food comes out perfect I just want to avoid any complaints at this point and  give her a good experience since the only reason they came here was for the food specifically  the tenders that they both loved so much about 20 minutes into the movie 10 minutes after the  drink I see

her food come past and go into the theater not even 5 minutes later this woman comes  storming out with a plate in her hand drinking the other and right up to where I am making drinks at  the bar she is fuming her son is on her tail and begging her to calm down my little anxious heart  jumps into my throat and then Falls I hate angry customers she speaks before I can even open my  mouth manager now me yes ma'am I walk around the bar and to the manager's office and knock on their  door as I'm wai

ting I glance over my shoulder and see her overturn her plate onto my drink station  she has gotten the Boneless bites tossed in sauce so now the area at mats on which I mix all  cocktails is covered and I mean covered in spicy barbecue sauce and wings and fries she pours her  perfect drink on top of it right as the manager is coming out of the office my manager is awesome  we'll call her violet she doesn't even look at me just runs straight to the woman I follow behind  but keep a bit of a dist

ance manager ma'am what seems to be the problem here Billy nothing nothing  mom and I are just leaving everything's okay Karen shut up that stupid bartender told me that the  tenders are gone and I had to order boneless wings instead I ordered them and they're gross  and she's so incompetent that you can't even make a darn mix to drink ride this drink is gross and  your standards for good food have dropped I want to speak to corporate manager well here's the  hotline number for corporate but my

bartender did make that drink correctly I'm sorry it wasn't  up to your standards clearly as you've smushed all of it into my bar I just figured since this  is her points at me fault she can clean it up because I'm somehow at fault for the entire menu  change Countrywide sorry I get paid $8 an hour not my deal manager the menu change was a corporate  decision my bartender didn't take the tenders off and she made that drink perfectly I'm sorry  you're this upset and I'll make sure corporate is aw

are I'm leaving a Yelp review too I'm never  coming back here everyone will know not to come here anymore my son is so disgusted with your food  Billy actually I thought it was good mom please it isn't that bad shut up it's not good you should  be shut down you don't care about your customers I will never ever come back here forget you she's  shrieking at this point she reaches into her mess and picks up one of the bar mats she smeared food  and drink unto and Chucks it at me before running out

of the store luckily I dodged the mat but  food and drink dropped on to me and the floor now too her son blessed this poor kid grabs a  roll of napkins off the nearest Rack we have napkins and condiments and racks on the bar and  starts trying to clean it up he's crying quietly at at this point and I don't blame him I was on  the brink of Tears myself this would have been so embarrassing to be that woman's kid in this  situation I get down next to him and gently take the napkins from him telling

him it's okay I get  it my manager gave him two free tickets and said if him and someone older wanted to come see movies  she'd take care of his food too next time but his mom wasn't welcome back we escorted him to the  door where his mom had pulled up in her car and was slamming on the horn to get him to hurry up  they left I cleaned it up and spent the rest of the day smelling like chicken and spiked lemonade  sticky and grumpy Karen has tried to come back a few times shockingly Billy still s

hows up with his  Dad and older brother and is always the absolute sweetest kid to me and the weight staff but  the woman has shown up alone and I always alert manager when she appears and she's always told to  leave shockingly she never throws a fit just walks out we never heard from corporate about her either  we still don't have chicken tenders crazy entitled parents called the cops on me because I refuse to  give them my car okay A little bit of background where I live there is a car show he

ld in memory  of someone in our town who passed of brain cancer and all proceeds go to cancer research the show  is held at a Raceway nearby where everyone is welcoming and kids get in free while the parents  have to pay $2 to get in while the people entering the car show or are going to go around the track  pay a premium Now the story I had entered my car into the car show and paid extra for it to go  around the track during the time event the car show part was a few hours before the warmup Bef

ore  Time Trials where everyone entering could do up to three practice labs to get used to the course now  this is where the kid came in before the practice Labs start entitled kid said he liked my car 1977  Leeland mini and started asking me about it and how I got it all was normal my family who was  with me said I should let him sit in it and I agreed but thought I could take it a step further  and let him sit in the passenger seat during one of my warm-up laps I said to him I would let  him g

o around the track with me on account I have his parents' permission when he heard that  his face lit up and he went to go get his parents I thought all was normal until this happened I was  waiting around for the kid and his parents to show up I hadn't moved from my spot and was doing some  pre-checks on my car before I went out 20 minutes had passed and I thought it was taking a little  long for him to come back to give me an answer but I thought I would wait a little longer just  in case he g

ot lost next thing I know another 20 minutes have passed then another 20 minutes I had  waited an hour for him to show back up and needed to get on the track my car was ready half an hour  ago and I had already gotten permission from the race organizers to have a passenger for one lap  of the practice run I had gotten tired and went to start the car when the kid showed up with his  parents they instantly asked me if I was up to something by the way I just turned 18 at the time  and had my girlfr

iend with me at the race keeping track of my times I told them I just wanted to  give him a chance to see what it was like in a road race car just like how someone else let me  when I was his age after hearing that they took a few steps back and started talking but they took  10 minutes to do so tired of waiting I told them it was Final Call it's either a yes or a no and  I need to get on the track now entitled parents gave me a stink eye and finally said entitled kid  could go I had him get in

and put the fivepoint on and we headed for the first practice just run  I told him to hold on and don't scream while I'm driving he seemed to understand but during the lap  he did the exact opposite once it was over I had a headache and was still trying to be nice and I  asked him if he had fun he said he did and wanted to go again I said from now on I had to be by  myself and he started yelling at me and got out of the car slamming the door behind me I had had it  at that point and just went to

do my last two laps once they were over we stopped for a quick break  and this is where everything went down first off I had the entitled parents come up to me and yell  at me for not letting him go again I explained to them that I technically wasn't allowed and only  got permission to do one lap with him they were livid next thing I know one of the organizers  tells them their kid could go around the track in one of the rental track cars with his father but  it would cost $300 the entitled kid

said no and that he wanted to go around in my car but I said  he couldn't next thing I know and entitled father is yelling how it's a ripoff and we are wasting  the money on cancer research I lost it at that point and told them to leave but the organizer  said what they said was fine and we don't need to make this work I left with the organizer after  that to avoid more of the confrontation skip forward half an hour and the time trial is about  to start and guess who came back entitled mom she

said she was sorry and wanted to talk I said later  and she yells out $400 she was offering $400 for my entire car I told her no and to get out of here  next thing I know the other entitled parent rocks up and says 700 for the car I said no and that I  have more money in my car than they probably have in their Bank the father responded saying that my  sad rusted piece of crap is not worth more than a grand and that I would get more from crushing it  than selling it I told them to leave as they w

ould not like what would happen next if they get in my  way I hopped in my car and drove off right past them once the time trial was over I went to park  in my spot to find my girlfriend and grandfather being talked to by the cops while the entitled  parents were pointing at me two officers came over and told me to turn off my car and get out of  the vehicle I did so and asked what was going on the entitled parents had called the cops claiming  I stole their car I told the cops the car was in my

name and I have footage inside from a camera  in my car that I use for studying my driving techniques they asked to see the the footage and I  willingly showed them they say I did nothing wrong and I had my parents bring down the proof of sale  for my car the entitled parents still tried to do me over until entitled father hit a bystander the  cops arrested him for assault and took the wife in as an accomplice I haven't heard anything from  them but now one of the officers from the incident is

a good friend of mine and we go to races  together so at least something good came out of this go ahead and do a charge back but you won't  be getting a refund okay I will a couple of years ago I ordered an Express parcel delivery from the  UK to the USA via one of those thirdparty parcel shipping companies for those who are unfamiliar  they are a middleman and they hold huge accounts with UPS DHL fedett Etc they then offer cheaper  parcel rates and pass some of this discount onto the customer s

o I ordered an Express 48h hour  delivery with one of these delivery companies for my two Parcels to the USA this cost me around  100 lb for the first two boxes and from experience using this delivery company in the past they  have a delivery guarantee which offers me a full refund of all Carriage charges if any part  of the shipment is not delivered within 48 Hours a few days later I was told by my customer that  the boxes had arrived 2 days late not a problem I checked the tracking number and

it had been  held up at the UK based Air Freight terminal which entitled me to a full refund of the carriage  charges I then contact Ed the delivery company but I was told that although I was fully entitled to a  full refund I'd have to speak to the third- party shipping company I contacted them by phone and I  was told that they don't issue refunds for delayed Parcels I explained that this was a guaranteed  service and the delivery company said that I was entitled to a refund at this point I wa

s passed on  to a manager by the call center operative without even asking the manager was very obnoxious and  wasn't bothered that my parcel had been delayed in his opinion I shouldn't expect it to get there  on time when I had paid such a low price so you want a full refund just because your parcel is  delayed yes I do because that is what was in the terms and conditions but you didn't buy the extra  insurance no I didn't because the delivery already included 1,000 of insurance anyway well we

don't  do refunds for delayed parcels and especially if you haven't paid for the insurance at this  point I was getting pretty annoyed because he was making up this idea of buying insurance to  cover for delays the insurance only covered total loss and damage anyway so I explained that if I  didn't receive a refund I would simply initiate a charge back on my credit card for the payment at  this point he raised his voice and told me fine try to do a charge back then we will fight it and  you won'

t get a refund yeah your parcel was late but that doesn't mean you get a free delivery  I ended the call and got straight on the phone to my credit card company they went through a  rigorous process with me and asked for a copy of the original invoice the terms and conditions Etc  within 24 hours they had refunded the full amount back to my card and sent me a letter giving me the  reasons they found the charge back in my favor it also explained that the merchant the shipping  company had 30 days

to contest the charge back however 30 days came and went and the money was  still showing as refunded 6 weeks later I reive an email from their customer service team telling  me that they were willing to give me a partial refund of 10% to compensate me for the delay  obviously somebody hadn't realized that I had initiated a charge back and now it was too late  so I replied and politely explained that I was told by the manager stating his name to initiate  a chargeback because their company does

n't issue refunds even when their terms and conditions say  they do therefore as far as I was concerned the matter was now closed as my credit card company  had given them 30 days to reply to the charge back and they had not replied therefore the charge back  was granted not only did I never hear anything back from them but I haven't used this company  since the girl Friday with the PHD takes over the business from The Ungrateful owner my spouse was  the second person hired at a consulting compa

ny in a very specialized industry in her 15 years with  the firm it grew to a respectable three office 8 to 10 employees at each location entity she  and the owner grew the business on the contacts expertise and presentation of up my wife to the  extent that my wife's abilities and education were the main reason new business came through the door  over the years her scope of responsibility grew so that the owner was basically 75% absent and  mostly unaware of day-to-day activity as he got more a

nd more removed from the business he would  make overtures that he would eventually retire and sell her the business he was so dependent on  her income generating that he took out a life insurance policy on her I did not involve myself  too much but at a major industry dinner party I attended with her he introduced my wife to the  table as My Girl Friday basically a secretary which was weird over the years she tried to get an  agreement in place to buy The Firm even if it was 2 years away he alw

ays delayed and made promises  but never followed through I told her this guy doesn't respect you or your contribution he will  never sell you the business because there is no reason to he can make more money by stringing you  along and essentially you are the business why would he sell it to you one day out of the blue  my wife received a raise and bonus a very minor amount of money and a contract that included  a non-compete non-disclosure agreement after reading it she realized that the owner

was trying  to lock her down from leaving for another firm she had been getting feelers from other companies to  make things even more suspicious she received a call from a competitor who said they were in final  stages of due diligence and they wanted to meet her the jerk was selling the company and didn't  think to tell her or ask if she was interested in buying it she ignored the agreement and there were  no other agreements in place she was totally free my wife is extremely loyal she has mi

ssed so many  special days working for this guy stuck around when they were wobbly even skipped paychecks  when there were tough Financial Times she was Furious the absolute maddest I've ever seen her  we discussed starting her own firm and I asked how much business is contractually obligated to  stay there if you leave it turned out that most agreements were either handshakes or 30-day at  will I also asked how many would leave with you she said about 75% including her biggest source of  Revenu

e who didn't even know the owner in a very short time my wife took a 3-we vacation she had  months of unused time during which time she rented an office in the same building and made all the  arrangements to set up a new shop she agreed to leave any and all company property behind and do  her best to give The Old Company no obvious ammo for litigation she called her clients and said  I'm leaving if you want to look into relocating your account with my new company you'll need  to quit the old one

before we can discuss it most understood the implication while she was on  vacation she received a panic call from her boss we lost XYZ company do you know anything about it  she said I'm sorry but I just sent you an email I've resigned all my keys and Company stuff is on  my desk bye-bye the the new firm took basically 90% of the business and seamlessly transitioned  into the same company as it was before but with a new owner even most of the office staff would  come aboard within a year her o

ld company closed down except for the small office her old boss ran  she sees him once in a while and he just scows at her entitled man calls the cops on me for parking  my truck properly so this happened like a year ago I'm doing truck driving in a moving company in  the big cities and due to that I have to park in some crappy places due to customers living in  crowded areas I had a gig where I had to drive like 150 km to another city to do moving services  with a team for a company so once we

got there we saw that there was construction work going on  right next door which resulted in part of the sidewalk being taken up also because it had only  one right lane for safety reasons I had to park my truck partly on the sidewalk so that cars wouldn't  run into each other I had made sure that there was enough room for people to go through through  without having to get too close to the road by the way this is completely legal in my country so  it took about 30 minutes and there he was this

was around 2hour packing job this middle-aged guy  on a bike ready to conquer the world entitled biker first he came next to my truck and started  taking pictures I don't mind because this kind of behavior is nothing new to me entitled biker  hey you have to move your truck me no man I'm in the middle of the work and there was absolutely  enough room that you could get through entitled biker what if there comes someone with kids and  a carriage cue a woman walking through with a kid Carriage lo

oking confused because we both looked  at her I give entitled biker a smile never stopped working by the way you know that barking like this  is illegal right me no it isn't you can look it up if you want move your truck this is illegal my  co-workers come from the inside to bring more stuff to pack coworker 1 what's going on me some  jerk is trying to make me move my truck so nothing unusual just don't worry about it coworker 2 don't  you have anything better to do than harass people who are ju

st trying to do their job entitled biker  move this truck or I'm going to call the police we all just smile and leave him to his BS and keep  working because we know that he can't do anything the guy then proceeds to make a few phone calls  I assume to our company and the police and keep spewing his BS we just ignore it because we have  a lot of places to go and know we'll be doing at least 2 hours of overtime without him bothering  us another 15 minutes go by entitled biker move your truck or I

'll call the police me now smiling  who did you just call now then entitled biker goes silent for a minute and keeps on spewing about  my illegal parking then I saw police car drive behind his back they looked at the situation  slowed down smiled and kept on driving it was the middle of the day so by now there were a lot  of trucks all over the place taking up sidewalks in my area post trucks Vehicles bringing food  to stores Etc so I tell him dude can you just go harass the other truck drivers

look around you man  I'm not the only one parked like this but either way thanks for the laughs I really enjoyed this  entitled biker is fuming at this point so me and my co-workers give up and just tell him to buzz  off he finally decides to leave but it isn't over yet entitled biker decided to go and post about  this incident to Facebook to all his 100 friends and my co-workers spotted the post he basically  was rambling how I was a jerk for parking there and we were disrespectful and they jus

t thanked  me for the laughs they got out of me at first I didn't pay any mind but then he had also ranted  about how he was almost fine for calling the emergency number on us and they warned entitled  biker that if he called again he would be fine for disrupting the emergency line or something but  yeah happy ending it was a long day but we got a lot of good laughs about it and the construction  workers also laughed what the heck was that all about and we even told our boss about about it who 

also laughed how some people can be so stupid no problem I'll print that video for you and while  I'm at it I might have you fired as well context this happened a few years ago I was 18 and working  as a receptionist for a community Nursing Center as the youngest in the team by a long shot the  average age of employees being around 55 to 60 I was usually the one responsible for the computer  stuff mostly just simple things nothing a quick Google couldn't solve the other staff memb were  wonderfu

l and I learned a lot from working with them except for the assistant manager Karen this  woman was the bane of my existence she was over 75 recently came out of a 15-year retirement as  a receptionist and was armed with a certificate in business management from a 4-Hour online class  she refused to learn basic computer skills such as word or email stating that she didn't need to  learn them again when she had others to do it for her namely me in a 5-hour shift I would spend  3 hours just just F

ielding her tasks needless to say this came along with all the fun personality  traits that make a manager from heck at the start of my shift I received an email from Karen asking  me to print the attached files one was a PDF and the other was an mp4 so assuming she meant just  the PDF I take the printed copy tour this is roughly how the exchange went Karen why do you  only have one file I sent two me you want me to print an mp4 isn't that what I asked a monkey  could do your job and probably be

tter at it here I'm pretty sure she laughed at her own joke me  desperate look I don't think you understand don't try and teach me don't forget I did your job for  20 years and now I could have you fired already over it and ready for some malicious compliance  me okay well I've never printed this type of file before so it might take a while Karen interrupts  I don't care how long it takes I'm your boss and I've told you to do this once it's done you can  move on to the other jobs I'm grinning ea

r to ear at this point I get back to my desk and send  her an email summarizing our conversation and explicitly clarifying she wanted me to print an  mp4 to which I got a snarky reply perfect I spent the next 4 to 5 hours pausing the video every 2  to three frames screenshotting it pasting it to a Word document and printing the administrative  tasks piled up not that Karen noticed because she mostly spent her time reading magazines or talking  on the phone I felt bad as this placed an extra load

on the other receptionists however since  Karen was universally hated they gave me their blessing once complete I took about 100 Pages  carefully held with Clips to her desk and sweetly told her that I had printed the file she looked  smug until she saw what was in front of her page after page of almost the same picture as the man  moves through the video some slightly blurry all in full color she was Furious to say the least but  I was 1 hour over time on my shift and Karen knew that would alr

eady cause her some issues so she  let me leave though I knew it wasn't over yet as expected I get called into HR for a meeting the  following week where they accused me of wasting company time and not complying with management I  explained the situation in detail and showed them the email including her awful reply I also showed  them a few more emails and texts where Karen used some particularly descriptive words to insult our  staff members including the very HR rep taking my interview turns o

ut this was the straw that broke  the camel's back as Karen had multiple reports against her from other staff members and she had  been driving HR insane with her own complaints she lost her job the following week the best part  is that this happened on a Sunday where I got double pay I took some of that sweet overtime  cash and brought in cupcakes to work once Karen was gone I said it was an end of week treat but  we all knew what we were celebrating the HR rep seemed to particularly enjoy hers

and entitled  grandmother thinks it's okay to take my stuff without my permission back when I was a freshman  in high school my grandmother thought that it would be a good idea to take my belongings without  informing me while I was at school to elaborate I had a small table with cubby holes in it that  I kept belongings in that were important to me I had autographs signed art and awards I had  earned over the years in those cubby holes I came home from school to go to my room only to see  that

the table had been replaced with an enormous dresser confused and concerned for my belongings  I went to confront my grandmother about where everything went this was the conversation that  followed we've got entitled grandmother we've got me we've got oblivious grandfather who doesn't  understand why I was so upset me hey Grandma what happened to my table in my room grandma oh I took  it out and put it out on the porch for a place to put my shoes I hope you don't mind op I thought  she was Jo j

oking because why would anyone use a table as a shoe rack we already had several by the  front door and I didn't think she was serious but I went out to the porch and sure enough there it  was decorated with shoes potted plants and empty mason jars I then come back inside to ask where  my belongings were and what she did with them me if you wanted my table you could have asked when  I got home also where's my stuff that was in it at this point my entitled grandmother starts to get  ensive and tr

ies to avoid my questioning Grandma I wasn't going to wait for you all day to come  home I have a lot of work to do and you should feel grateful that I replaced your table with  a desk yeah she thought that the dresser that she got me was a desk I looked at her still trying  to decide if she was serious or not and she was I tried to explain to her that a desk has leg room  and doesn't have the drawer that a dresser has for you to put clothes in she wasn't hearing it  however I wasn't either and

continued to ask her where my belongings were until she finally gave  in and told me grandma why do you care so much about those things it was only several Awards  and other crap I had to do something with them in order to move the table so I put them in a box  while you were at school and moved them to storage me what the heck you took my stuff and put it in  a box without telling me don't use that type of language in my house I'm going to smack the heck  out of you if you use it again me I don

't give a hoot if you smack me you took my crap without even  letting me look through the box to see if I wanted to keep anything not long after my grandmother  and I started arguing my grandfather comes into the room after hearing us arguing outside he had  been on the phone with a client of his and as soon as the client hung up he came in to see what was  going on oblivious Grandpa op and entitled Grandma what are you arguing about this time for context  my grandmother and I never got along we

ll and this only tipped the boat even more into the water  me she took my table and crap that was inside it to use it as a shoe rack when she already  has three of them by the front door Grandpa op you shouldn't talk to your entitled grandmother  like that I've noticed how disrespectful you've been getting around the house towards her and you  need to straighten up your act upon hearing this entitled Grandma tries to play the victim card and  starts tearing up voice cracking and everything entit

led Grandma op why are you always so angry  at me have I not done enough for you already what did I do to deserve this kind of treatment from  you please tell me me don't pull that crap with me grandma you've been doing it every time I catch  you doing something crappy just so you don't have to take responsibility my Grandpa gets furious at  this point with me he disregards the fact that his wife had stolen my belongings and starts going  going off at me Grandpa op look what you've done you need

to learn to respect your elders you've  always been a good granddaughter but this is unacceptable I can't believe how you're displaying  yourself right now this is my household and you are only 15 me 15 or not she entitled Grandma  stole stuff that was important to me how would you feel if I went into your room took your clothes  and stuff out of it stuck it in a box while you were out of town and told you that put it in a  storage room and replaced your furniture with something else that serve

s no use to you Grandma  well I would feel grateful that someone would take their time to think of me and spend money  on me Grandpa see entitled grandma is thankful for things in her life why can't you be op you  need to learn how to be thankful for what others have done for you in life otherwise you won't  get anywhere what do you think your boss would say if you spoke like this to him me I think he'd  have some common sense to know that you shouldn't steal other people's stuff even if they ar

en't  in the room I had ended up storming off and could hear Grandpa and Grandma talking about how rude I  was the storage area wasn't too far from my house only down the road so I walked down there the next  day and couldn't find the Box my grandmother was talking about to this day every time I try to go  and see if I can find the box I believe that my entitled grandmother threw it away and tried to  come up with something that would get me to stop questioning her I've seen all your comments an

d  I can understand why you suggested that I need to get over it however I will say while this is  true I had important belongings of mine that were taken away without my knowledge the most important  being my signed artwork I have done over the years and given to actors to sign while at conventions  I don't think I can get over losing those what would you do if you were in this situation what  would you say to your grandma and how would you act towards her please let me know in the comments  en

titled neighbor makes a huge mistake this was about 25 years ago so I was about 8 years old and  we had just moved into a 150-year-old house that was in need of major repairs my dad thinking ahead  knew he would need a large garage SL Workshop to really get started on the renovations properly on  the edge of our yard was an ancient Barn that was falling apart and needed to be torn down my Dad  figured this was the best place to build his new workshop so that was the plan we had met and  were on

good terms with all of the Neighbors at that point when the plans for the new workshop  were finished my parents went around to all the neighbors as a courtesy to show them the plans and  get their blessing the neighbors whose property the current barn and new workshop would border  I'll call them the Peters were concerned about the height the existing Barn was 16 ft high and  they asked if we could build it to only one story 12T Max as to not block the sun in their yard sure  no problem my pare

nts agreed they wanted to go two stories for extra storage but just one wasn't a  deal breaker so the old barn was torn down and the foundation laid for the new one during that  time there was a falling out with the peters and my parents I'm not sure what happened but it  turned nasty one day my brother and I were playing street hockey and Mr Peters came out yelling at  us get off the road you have to earn your place in this town upon hearing this my mom had to  physically restrain my dad from g

oing over and beating a mob eventually he cooled off and started  on his plan the plans for one story went out the window soon the new garage that was only supposed  to be one story gained a second in the blueprints if they were going to act like this with us kids  my dad would build what he wanted as construction started the Peters came over to ask why there  were two stories being built and were told to go forget themselves we didn't hear from them again  until the roof started to go on the by

laws of the Township limited all out structures to 24 ft High  the Peters called the township and then a building inspector claiming that the new garage was over  24 ft high if it was over height the entire thing would have to be torn down and rebuilt costing  us tens of thousands of dollars I remember the Peters standing there watching the inspector with  smug looks on their faces 2 days later we got the final report back from the township inspector 23  ft 11 in just as my dead had drawn up in

his new plans he sent me up on the roof of the garage just  plywood no singles yet with some spray paint and had me right 23 ft 11 in height approved and  2T High neon orange letters across the entire roof facing their yard and house not only did the  garage block all sunlight from reaching their yard but my dad waited until everything else was done  before he shingled that side of the roof they had to stare at those neon orange letters for almost 3  years we didn't hear a peep from them for the

next 10 years until they moved I want a Baconator now  so I used to work at a famous fast food chain it was my first job and I hated it fast food workers  get so much crap from people I have recently moved over to the store next to the restaurant a gas  station and I love it there my boyfriend and I went to the restaurant for lunch one day he used  to work there too it's where we met we got our food and sat down at a table we used to always sit  at and begin eating and chatting even taking some

pictures when I feel a hard tap on my shoulder now  I've read some stories on here and have worked in this place enough to know a Karen when I see one  so I breathed out of breath yes the Karen size and folds her arms across her chest I want a bacon  ater my boyfriend stops eating and looks up I'm sorry but we don't work here I want to note that  I was in blue jeans and an overly big blue and red wolf sweatshirt my boyfriend's and he was wearing  blue jeans and a yellow t-shirt and a Chevrolet

hat she scowls and points at me yes you do I've  seen you behind the counter now get me my bacon eater and a side of fries and make that fresh no  tomato and no pickles I now recognize the lady as one that always had to fuss about everything and  made my job 11 times harder I used to work here but I don't anymore please leave us alone we are  trying to enjoy our lunch I turn around only to get slapped on the back of my head and I freeze  give me my Baconator I see my boyfriend tints out of the c

orner of my eye before he slowly turns  around and stands to his full 6'4 height towering over the lady get the heck away from us before I  do something I really don't want to do his voice is cold as he glares down at her he is visibly  shaking in Rage I don't take being touched well especially hit even light tabs can send me into  a panic because of my past and he knows this the lady stares wide-eyed at him before scurrying over  to the counter he sits down thinking it's over but I know this wo

man and she is not done yet I watch  as the manager in charge one of my favorites love her comes over with a confused look I heard that  you assaulted someone my boyfriend snorts and looks at her she assaulted us look at the cameras  the manager's eyes slide over to me to which I nod she goes back behind the counter to look at  the cameras and she soon comes out on the phone apparently she also assaulted the employee behind  the counter by throwing a drink at him so the police were called I watc

hed with satisfaction as  my manager told her that she was banned and as she was escorted out none of us pressed charges just  because we didn't want to deal with her anymore speaking of bacon eers what's your favorite fast  food place I'm so hungry right now and I'd love to hear from you no I won't show you my ID even  though it'll take 2 seconds this was my first time meeting a Karen and I thought I would share it  I used to work for a big UK Fashion retail brand and policy at the time was to

ask the customer  for a form of ID to confirm that the name on the online order was the same on the ID the reason for  this was to ensure that the person collecting the parcel was the right person and also for security  reasons due to certain customers having a credit account with the store anyway it begins we've  got Kevin the male customer and Karen the female customer Kevin hey there I'm here to pick up an  order me yeah that's no problem can I take your reference number please sure no proble

m it's 1 2  3 45 6 me that's great while that's searching in our system do you have a form of ID on you I  do is a driver's license okay me yeah that's perfect I look at his license and confirm his  name to the name on the order I've confirmed the Kevin's order and as I go to get it I notice  Karen waiting on the end of the till I see she has no clothing items in her hand so assume she's  also collecting a parcel we use a zebra device so I'm able to collect more than one customer's order  at a t

ime and so begins my Endeavor with Karen me hello are you also collecting a parcel Karen I am  yeah me that's perfect do you have your reference number with you nope I used my credit account  with the store she gets out her purse and takes out her store card and shows it to me I scan it  and her order comes up now when someone comes in and collects an order with their credit account we  were told to always ask for ID as fraud could take place and this could ruin the customer's credit  rating amo

ng other things I read her name off of the device I have me Mrs Karen oh yes that's me  me okay do you have a form of ID to confirm your identity no I was confused here because whenever  someone picks up an order they always get a text or email to confirm it's in store and ready for  pickup and in this text or email it always says please bring a form of ID I say to her sorry no  I don't want to me it's just to confirm that you are the right and correct person to pick up the  parcel I don't care

I don't want to show you my ID I've shopped with this company for 30 years  and not once have I been asked for an ID I was a customer here when the store was still at its  old location and they never asked me for an ID me it can be anything even a bank card as long as  it's got your name on it no I don't want to do I have to tell you again me okay sorry now I was  fairly new at the time so was super confused and somewhat anxious as I wasn't too sure what to  do another member of staff comes over

and asks if I'm okay and I just tell her yeah and that I  can sort it I go and get the two customer parcels and one thing we can do is ask the customer to  confirm their post code for us as it's printed onto the parcel although this should be the last  method of customer confirmation as getting a postc code for something and their name is easy so I  go back out onto the shop floor and back to the till Point me can you confirm your postcode for  Me Karen scoffs who him or me me standing right in

front of her clearly speaking to her um his  did that to make her wait longer so I hand the parcel over to the guy and he leaves me now can I  have your postc code please ab1 2 3 4 C there you go bye so yeah that's it she was extremely rude  and I honestly couldn't care if she hadn't been asked before I told her that it was policy and  that she should have been asked for ID plus it would have been so easy to take out her ID it was  in her open purse in her hand I found out after from my colleag

ue that she called me pathetic and  stupid while I was getting her parcel and that she was complaining about being asked for her ID  entitled mother lets her kids steal my blind cane so a bit of backstory I am a 28-year-old woman  who just recently went fully blind when I was a teenager I volunteered with my local youth crew to  help rebuild Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina and while down there I picked up a fungal parasite  called histoplasmosis that over a decade migrated to my eyes and slo

wly caused blindness I've been  totally blind for about a year now so I'm pretty new to it but I digress when I first went blind  I barely left the house and was afraid to go out in public I felt like everyone was staring at me  and in all honesty I barely knew what I was doing the transition had been difficult and I didn't  have any support group to teach me me one day my husband asks if I can take an Uber down to the  bank and deposit a rent check and I reluctantly agree while out he messages

again and reminds me  that we're out of a few crucial groceries there was a Walmart grocery literally across the street  from the bank so I figure everything in life is an experience and I'll have to learn how to shop  alone eventually so why not everything was fine at first and I was only grabbing a few things so  I didn't need a card I was using my cane and what little echolocation skills I had at the time to  get around but was still bumping into things as we blind tend to do sometimes my can

e suddenly  hit something a bit softer and I figured maybe I had whacked someone's leg and I apologize Q  entitled kid and entitled mother me shoot I'm sorry entitled Mom hey you just hit my son me I'm  so sorry ma'am I didn't see him there entitled mom begins yelling how could you not see him he's  clearly right here now I'm fully blind so I don't wear sunglasses mostly because I can't afford  a good UV blocking pair but also I'm not ever looking for pity or to play the part of a generic  blind

person I just want to be treated like a normal person but I do understand her confusion as  blindness is a spectrum so I try to calmly explain me ma'am I'm blind I can't see anything let alone  your son that's why I have to use the cane so I can get around without she cuts me off if you're  blind why aren't you wearing big sunglasses now as a blind person I get a lot of stupid questions  but I understand a lot of them are just people who don't know better so I try to happily answer as  many as

I can me those are really expensive around $200 for a good pair and I really don't need any  inside you're not blind you're faking it here is where my blood starts to boil I can't think of  any reason someone would want to pretend to be blind it's an actual heck and nothing upsets me  more than when someone calls me a liar when I'm not just as I'm about to respond I feel a tug and  before I blink I realize this little jerk spawn has snatched my $100 cane from my hands for those  of you who don't

understand that's like if you're shopping and suddenly the power goes out and you  can't see a single light without my cane I can barely move at all without crashing into anything  my voice gets shaky as I begin to panic please give that back I really do need it oh you don't  you liar my son deserves to play with this more than you I hear her Shuffle away and my expensive  cane cracking into metal displays and such as they leave I start crying and waving my arms in front  of me to grab onto som

ething anything and end up crashing and falling into a center aisle display  making a loud scene without fail I somewhat curl into a ball and cry I'm alone in public in the  dark and I had no idea what to do suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder and a man's voice we'll call  him awesome guy asks if I'm okay and tells me to stay right there I do but begin to at least sit up  and listen this man must have been tall and built like a tank because his footsteps sounded like a  giant and I felt a suct

ion of wind when he took off maybe about 30 or 40 ft away I hear this loud  bellowing like an angry lion and a loud crash then before I know it the man is back and helping me to  my feet he takes my hand and puts my cane into my palm and helps me pick up the items I dropped when  I fell into the display me wiping tears from my cheeks thank you thank you so much I didn't know  how to handle that awesome guy don't worry about it some people are just monsters this guy restored  my faith in humanity

and even helped me finish shopping and helped me out of the store as we're  leaving I can hear the familiar screeching of entitled mom something about awesome guy grabbing  the cane and pulling it flinging her little jerk into a shopping cart I don't know if she was  exaggerating or not but it would explain the crash I heard it's easy to feel alone in a world  without sight but even through the sheer Terror of being stripped of my cane at least I know now that  there are people willing to stand

up for me when I need it entitled parent comes in after closing  gets caught stealing and complains about being a single mom closing this door reaching to lock the  front door an entitled parent runs inside says she just needs a couple things for her kids okay we'll  give her the benefit of the doubt continue closing duties notice her watching us and moving to hide  behind incaps when she sees us look up got a bad feeling about her Circle the store and see she  has a full cart and is sweeping m

ore out of the dairy case into it she is actually clearing whole  shelves of things like cheese and yogurt into the cart she tries to get away when I approach her  but the cart is too heavy heavy for her to push it fast I catch up with her and tell her the store is  closed and she must go to the register now because we need to disinfect everything she goes to the  self checkout we see her make the scanning motion but not scanning the items and then putting them  in a bag in her cart we call her

out on this she FS ignorance we make her scan it again we get  attitude she gets done scanning we're pretty sure she Phantom scanned more items but we were  distracted doing closing work she has a big total over $200 she pulls out a payment method that  is clearly noted in the checkout area we do not accept she starts to throw an entitled parent fit  but she has put in her place about coming in after hours and knowing we don't take her payment method  more attitude we get the manager on duty to

try to help her between cash and debit and credit cards  she gets her balance to just under $100 manager gives her the remaining balance and she asks so  what I got to pay pay that too manager tells her yes she eyes the door no way she can push the  heavy cart fast enough to beat us to the door manager basically says that to her and I add yeah  and she's locked in too remember we were locking up so she can't get out unless we unlock the doors  with a key we can tell something is wrong she's too

nervous I say she should just return the items  until she's paid manager smiles and agrees starts ringing returns entitled is complaining we should  just let her leave it doesn't take long to find out why she's so nervous quite a bit of her stuff  won't ring up because it's not on the receipt she had tried refusing to hand over the paper receipt  not knowing that the manager has it up on his computer screen of course none of the expensive  baby SLK kid stuff was rung in Formula diapers wipes Etc

she is so busted she thinks she's going  to jail but we know the cops won't come out unless someone is hurt but we talk about the cops we know  while trying to get her total down just to wind her up more she has finally paid in full over $200  worth of items have to be returned to stock she paid for $100 tried to steal $100 and we returned  $100 this jerk came into a closed store tried to steal $100 worth of merchandise and wanted to be  let off the hook for paying what she kept I got the pleas

ure of walking her to the doors I made  sure she went out the door furthest from her car while walking there she is complaining about  how we treated her and saying she's a single mom that crap don't flush with me I say so you're  home all day with the kids she said she is then I say next time come in earlier and by the way  you'll be using a cashier from now on no more self checkout for you her jaw dropped she went to  say something else but I shut the door in her face and locked it again had t

o get back inside and put  her stuff back in the cooler how do you get caught stealing and then complain the store takes the  stuff off you entitlement entitled parents think I should give them thousands of dollars and  they never even thank me my parents requested I come home during all of this mess which has  been the biggest mistake of my life seriously it was an awful move and once I'm out of here I  am never speaking to these people again I have a good amount of money coming in because I wo

rk  my butt off and some projects are finally paying off when I first got here several weeks weeks ago  they started requesting I pay random bills my mom said that would be awesome and faked being happy  when I know now she clearly expected to make Bank off of me car insurance cell phone bills house  payments Etc I've been happily paying them not only have they not said thank you once which I  wouldn't mind if they just showed me some sort of not negative emotion but they are constantly  making

me wait several days to pay these bills and being weirdly aggressive about it the The Logical  next step is to not pay the bills right except when I said I wouldn't help if it bothered them  my stepdad flipped crap and called me a freeloader so my taxes came and I decided to give my mom $400  because I have good money coming in I also ordered random odds and ends that I need SL want Not only  was I not told thank you for the $400 but now as my things come in every time something arrives  in the

mail they both get passive aggressive it doesn't matter if it's a $9 skin cream I might  as well have lavished myself with gold by the way they overreact I also told my mom because  I made under enough to get the $1,200 when it comes I'm going to give her $500 when I told her  this she got weirdly passive aggressive about it again and I could tell that she wants the whole  $1,200 I don't get it they make good money they both just got more than me back in taxes also does  not help that they have

done nothing but crap on me and ride me since I got here treating me like  trash even recruiting my brother into it seriously they've made me feel lower than dirt I'm crying  myself to sleep every night because of how they're treating me every day and just now my stepdad  messaged me that I need to knock off the spending spree and grow up excuse me because I know they  raised me but in my world if anyone happily gives you thousands in cash without complaint you at  least be nice to them but with

them they clearly want every penny I have and to treat me like trash  I own a home I have a life I have a career I don't need to grow up I'm grown I would dip today if  my state wasn't under a stay-at-home order and if I wasn't so worried about my mom who works with  the public edit we live in a state where it's Dirt Cheap to live just to really put an emphasis on  how crappy it is that my thousands haven't been enough money for them the money I've spent at  one month here would pay someone's r

ent in this state for 5 months I've given them a lot I think I  deserve a good job or a thank you for helping all I want is for them to show me some kind of love  mom thought a new vacuum was more important than my college this took place a few years ago when  I was still in college for my bachelor's degree for several years I waitressed SL cleaned houses  and really pinched pennies putting any extra money into savings for college I didn't qualify for  any assistance because my parents claimed m

e as a dependent and they made too much money but I am  very Lu ly to not have student loans having saved enough from working to pay as I went the last year  of my bachelor's degree I was hardly living at home I lived with my boyfriend most of the time  helping with those expenses I also helped with things around the house particularly for my mom  who lived alone paid all of my own bills like car insurance and such and at this point was buying  all of my own food and toiletries I'm explaining al

l of this for background not at all to complain  because I was happy to do so and as an adult who was able I felt it was my responsibility a round  roll tax season and I approached my mom asking her if she could not claim me on her taxes this  time considering everything stated above her and my dad took turns each year claiming my brother  and I on their taxes as dependents I told her not being claimed would really help out with getting  money for college to finish up my final year as the money

I saved was pretty much depleted she  agreed without any issues and I couldn't have been happier I don't remember specific but I was  having some issues with financial forms online and expressed my worries that I was having trouble  figuring it out 2 days later and with help from a university counselor it was all good and well I  don't even think a full week passed between our initial conversation and the conversation below  and the deadline for taxes was still a good ways off I came to my mom's

house let her know I'd  gotten it figured out and would be submitting my paperwork she says oh I'm sorry I thought you  said it wasn't going to work out confused at her apology I said I was having difficulties but  I got some help and it's fine now but I didn't think it would work so I claimed you on my taxes  and turned them in yesterday I was quiet for a minute she couldn't have followed up with me in  those couple of days to confirm it wouldn't work out before filing it isn't like I kept her

waiting  for weeks okay whatever it can still be okay so I asked her if she could give me the money that  she would get from claiming me since she wouldn't have been expecting it this time around anyway  and it would really help me I pointed out how I pay for all my own things and don't really live  at home anymore and that I've worked so hard well honey really I'm so tight on money right now I  really could use the money I know I don't talk finances with you a whole lot but honestly this  woul

d help me I was dumbfounded and then quietly Furious But ultimately thought I don't want my  mom to struggle so it's okay I'll figure it out I tried really hard to not let it bother me until  her tax money came in and she bought over $1,000 worth of small home appliances the most expensive  being a vacuum cleaner when hers worked perfectly fine in fact she offered me her old one because  it works perfectly fine I just wanted an upgrade in the end my dad and stepmom felt so bad for me  in this si

tuation they gave me a couple hundred to put towards school which was a blessing I  didn't expect but was so grateful for though it barely made a dent in College tuition basically  that's where the story ends I never really talk to my mom anymore about it because she has done so  much that's hurt me I try to pick my battles it was validation enough for me that the other people  in my life saw it was wrong too Karen gets called out by her name at the store this past Sunday with  a friend of mine

we both were waiting in line to buy stuff and our register was pretty close to  the customer service desk my friend is staring at the customer service desk and then nudges  me to look woman is at customer service desk complaining she's going on and on about not being  able to return the two packages of toilet paper that she had bought 2 months ago store policy was  that they were not accepting returns for that item along with disinfecting wipes rubbing alcohol and  other cleaning supplies so thi

s woman looks like a classic Karen in every single way right down to  the Frosted bobbed hair it truly was the perfect Karen cut also in yoga pants so yeah on point  so this discussion between the hapless Store employee and Karen is getting ugly Store employee  is no match for Karen who is well-versed in Karen language and using the terms to get her way  such as why is the store policy only applicable to those items and I buy stuff here all the time  and have never seen that sign and I have a st

ore credit card here and have been here for over 10  years I give you so much business and I am going to cancel my card if you you don't allow me to  return these items then Karen being Karen goes right for the jugular I need to speak to your  manager right now my friend who is with me is a server at a pretty popular restaurant in the  same city I'm a bartender but not at the same restaurant she knows the woman complaining  my friend starts telling me that the woman complaining is her worst nigh

tmare she would  always come into the restaurant with her two kids and demand all sorts of special stuff for  free then complain about not taking some type of coupon or membership discount card and the  best part This Woman's name really is Karen so my friend yells over to her hey Karen how are  you to which the woman explodes how do you know my name is Karen who the heck are you just mind  your own business and stop acting like you know me don't call me by my name like you know me so  a few of

the other employees are now snickering to themselves including the cashier that is our  cashier for our line who who says to us seriously is her name really Karen to which my friend  tells her yes absolutely and she is a total 100% Karen my friend then tells the cashier that  this woman comes into her restaurant and pulls the same crap all the time and at least now she  knows that it isn't just her that is the target of her missives we stick around to see if Karen  gets her way because well I in

sisted to see the outcome because I wanted Karma to kick Karen's  butt yep Karma kicked Karen's bud in this case as the store refuses to return the toilet paper and  recommended she donates it to charity or a shelter or a community group that provides Necessities  to those in need the manager even told Karen that if she wanted to leave it at the store he would  make sure it got to a group that needed it more than she did Karen exploded at that point as she  dragged the toilet paper back to her c

ar total Karma payback worth the wait to see my friend  can't wait to see Karen back after the restaurant reopens as she's planning on bringing a roll of  toilet paper to the table along with the menu for Karen as a fun New promotion for the restaurant  reopening apparently not doing something that isn't your job is rude okay so I work in a bar  a party of office workers from across the road came in one night most of them are okay one of  them a woman who I'll call Sarah from now on was pretty d

runk at around 11:00 p.m. she asks me for  a baked snack that was no longer sold I told her that we didn't have any confused she said but  I was here a few months ago and you had them I explained that we stopped selling them again she  says but you used to sell them again I explained that we don't sell them anymore completely serious  she says can you make me one I couldn't believe the cheek of this lady incredulously I said  make you one I'm a bartender not a cook and the kitchen's closed for t

he night the cook had  left over an hour ago and even if by chance she was still hanging around there was no reason why  she or I should go out of our way for this woman child refusing to relent Sarah goes well can't you  just defrost some I explained to her that the cook who had gone home an hour ago used to make these  Savory pastries from scratch there's nothing to defrost I told her that if she's really hungry  the supermarket which is a 5-minute walk away sells the snack she's after and tha

t they shut  down at midnight Sarah you're really rude me am I what have I possibly said or done that can be  considered rude it's not what you said it's your demeanor me my demeanor what about my demeanor  Sarah you're not being very accommodating you're very cold you're not smiling me resisting the  urge to call her a toxic jerk I'm not really a Smiler well then maybe you shouldn't be working  here I expect better than this my company it's not her company she just an employee spends a lot  of

money here I don't like your attitude me other customers don't have a problem with me most of  them actually find me hilarious I want to see your manager she actually said this me the manager is  currently busy this wasn't a lie Sarah what's your name me you don't need to know my name she kept on  harassing me for my name but I wouldn't give it to her because I didn't want to plus I was enjoying  watching her growing frustration I sent this sec Mana text telling him to not tell her my name  I st

ayed stoic because I refused to give people like this the satisfaction of reacting when they  can't get a rise out of you these people always get angry which is hilarious after a bit more BS  playing the amateur shrink she said what happened to you that's made you like this something must  have gone seriously wrong in your life to make you like this I held my tongue but my assessment of  her was that she comes from a wealthy family and her parents spoil her she she followed me around  the place

videoing me while ranting threatening to have me fired Etc this made me angry but I didn't  react or say anything Karen wants me to work there but I don't our cast we've got myself we've got  Karen we've got the obese kid he's around 10 to 12 we've got the store clerk I live way out of town  but work in town so I frequently go into stores before or after work while dressed in my work  clothes since this saves me a 2-hour roundt trip to go home and change this will become important  later last fa

ll I was looking for a washing machine and found a really nice one marked down  to less than half price I found a sales clerk who was helping a man and a lady and when he looked  in my direction I indicated that I would like to purchase the washing machine when he was finished  with his other customers and had a INE he nodded I went over to the washing machine to wait for him  so I could keep first dibs on buying it a woman who will be known as Karen with a very obese kid  in toe came up up to m

e and asked me for help no biggie this has happened to me before I smiled and  told her that I don't work there she got irritated and told me she couldn't find anybody who worked  there the sales clerk was maybe 10 ft away and that she wanted me to work there I said but I  don't work here then she said but I need help with a dishwasher I told her that I know nothing  about their dishwashers and don't even own a dishwasher and that she would need to ask someone  who actually does work there she g

lared at me and was about to leave when she glanced at my shirt  and gasped she was quiet for a few seconds but it was just an intake of air before I was treated  to one of those famous Karen G at full volume in person she pointed to my shirt and said what do  you mean you don't work here you do to work here and I want your help right now that's enough of  your crap I looked at her calmly and said ma'am this pointing to the embroidery on my shirt says  name of Grocery Store you are in name of ha

rdware store I do not work here but she wasn't having  any of it and let loose at me at full volume yelling about being a mother and having her kid  with her and how I needed to stop messing around and help her because she has a kid poor kid  looked embarrassed I actually felt sorry for him because he must have dealt with her nonsense  every day Karen stomped away yelling about making a complaint and then for some reason she turned  around and came back to glare at me I told her again that I do

not work there and that she would  simply have to find someone who does work there to help her she kept complaining and telling her kid  how he would have to wait since I refused to help her yelled at me about how she is a mother and  her time is important and on and on after a few minutes she quieted down and stood between me and  the dishwashers glaring at me I couldn't resist I had to give her my sweetest smile and said oh and  when that clerk is finished with the people he's helping I'm next

she let out an epic grabbed her  kid by the arm and stomped off as soon as he saw that Karen was gone the store clerk quit talking  to the other customers who he had been halfway hiding behind made sure she was out of sight  then seeing that it was now safe came over to help me the time that security prevented me from  doing my job I used to work as an entertainment lighting electrician and console programmer one of  my busiest times of year was working the New York Fashion Week both spring and

fall it was a lot of  organized chaos but I enjoyed my time there the most important Place backstage is the hair and  makeup stations in the dressing rooms rows of tables with mirrors and lights with power for the  hair stylists and makeup artists for things like blow dryers and curling irons and courtesy power  for the models for phones and such while we try to make sure that each station has at least two  dedicated 20 amp circuits invariably someone will come in and plug their equipment into

the same  power strip as the workstation next to them and it will trip a breaker now Runway shows are absolute  chaos backstage models hairdressers makeup artists production assistants press designers it  gets pretty crowded backstage security is understandably tight during this whole process but  guards don't actually come in until the day of the show because we're already in the space long  before the show actually starts I always try to introduce myself to the security guards so  they know wh

o I am usually wearing a radio and a tool belt is enough for most people to clue in  who we are and if that fails the all access pass or wristband seals in but I always like to take  the extra step and be prepared so one fine show day I get a frantic call on my radio from the lead  production assistant thisiz there's no power at the hair and makeup stations now if it's actually  just one station that's out or all of them it doesn't really make a difference even having one  station out can be an

emergency so I start making my way over on my way I encounter lead production  assistant who looks very relieved to see me and motions for me to follow backstage is packed to  the gills so she makes it to the dressing room entrance a little bit before I do as I'm about to  go in I get stopped by security unfortunately it's not the same guy that was at the dressing rooms  before the show when I was introducing myself so this guy doesn't know me security models only  backstage me it's okay I'm on

the tech team I show him my white wristband security nice try  gold wristbands only backstage he grabs my arm and starts pulling me away from the dressing  room entrance you need to go just then I get another call on my radio lead production assistant  thisle Fizz where are you I key my mic and respond I'm being escorted out by security at the moment  something has now finally clicked in meat lugg's head unfortunately for him he was too slow to  respond lead production assistant comes storming o

ut of The Dressing Room Security what the heck  are you doing he works here he's my electrician let him go security but he doesn't have a gold  wristband gold is for dressing room only white is for all access now let go of him he let go  of me apologized and I went about my business I don't disparage the man for trying to do his  job but he probably should have been paying more attention when his boss was going over wristband  colors for the day entitled kid fakes injur for 3 months to get atten

tion Okay so when I was in  the fourth grade entitled kid harassed me she would never get out of my face always put me down  and whenever I told her I don't like you or please leave me alone she would say your friend told  you to say that and start yelling at me to not listen to her and that she was a fake friend fast  forward to the fifth grade in elementary school we only got one class with the same classmates for  a year and she wasn't in it I was happy until around a a week after the first d

ay of school she  came in with a knee brace that you could find at Walmart for $18 and crutches because she broke  her knee at first it was believable she jumped onto a ball and broke it she came to school every  day and got helped by everyone one time she made me drop my tray at lunch to carry hers every day  she got 11 to 13 kids to go in the elevator with her because she was scared when she had shown  no sign of claustrophobia whatsoever around a month later she told me in the elevator to  on

e grow out my hair because I had a pixie cut because I looked like a boy and two that she only  fractured her knee I Googled how long it took for a knee fracture to heal and it said 4 to 6 weeks  that's less than a month I told best friend that and soon everyone got fishy my elementary school  had a top floor with half of the school in it and the bottom floor had the other half and it was a  small school so info spread Fast 2 months later as when when nobody believed her there were  rumors that

they saw her walking fine without her crutches after she looked around for a second  and others said that they saw her trying to damage her leg in the bathroom it grew crazy she started  not letting me hang around my friends at recess because I got to see them all the time and she  also made me play Wrecking Ball on the swing with her the game was that I was the wrecking ball and  had to destroy the leg with the brace on it I was hesitant at first when I thought she's faking it  so I did she did

n't get affected at all 3 months later was when a skiing field trip was announced  it was happening early in January and everyone was hyped we all basically ignored the fact that  entitled kid was still in the brace she barely got any attention now and it was probably getting  boring using crutches at school for 3 months so she just didn't one day and the next one she  was using them again it was strange but we all just talked about how she was faking it behind her  back it reached a day before

winter break and she was still in the brace and using the crutches  and was going painfully slow and purposefully dropping everything to get attention and she did  everyone would just roll their eyes when she did that a day after the break ended was the skiing  trip and surprise surprise entitled kid was out of her brace and not using crutches it annoyed  me so much but I just ignored it around 3 weeks after the trip entitled mom arrived it was recess  and I was climbing on this rope jungle gym

thing when entitled mom started yelling the name of a  kid climbing next to me he was one of entitled kids Crush she had 20 he obeyed the orders and he  came down once he did she started screaming at him for not loving entitled kid for busting her knee  and after that she went to another one and did the same thing that school was crap and all the  teachers hated their jobs so they did absolutely nothing she's still an entitled kid to this day  and I have many other stories to tell about her and

other entitled kids from that school if you  want Karen yells at restaurant employees because she can't eat here with her family then tries to  kick me out out I witnessed my second wild Karen encounter today so today my friends and I decided  to go eat ramen at a restaurant in the city just me my friend and another friend restaurants closed  down seats because of what's been going on so there are less seats available now this ramen  restaurant is not very big so there are only a few seats avail

able so here's the cast we've got  entitled mom we've got me we've got my friend we've got the waiter and the manager so we're just  minding our own business when this group of six walks into the restaurant there are only a few  seats available so waiter informs them that they have to wait for the tables to clear up before  they can be seated because seats are closed off for everyone's safety entitled mom um what do you  mean I have to wait waiter because of what's going on we're only leaving a

certain amount of seating  open oh okay why don't you seat us there she says pointing to a table with a sign clearly stating  closed waiter as I I said they're closed because oh it's fine just seat us there we're not sick  waiter I'm sorry I can't do that that's I'm sorry I'm not asking you to seat us there I'm telling  you to so please do so now waiter if you wait 20 come on my angels are starving she says this as  she points to her family consisting of toddlers whining about having to eat rame

n waiter we can  seat some of you over at the bar if you guys don't need to eat as a group without even thaning him  she marches her family over to the bar and rips off the signs to make space for her kids waiter  I'm sorry I can't have you do that entitled mom I can do whatever I want I am the customer waiter  I'm sorry but if you can't respect our rules you must leave let me talk to your manager the waiter  scoffs and goes to get the manager who is one of the chefs manager what seems to be the

the problem  your rude waiter refused to let me sit at a table so I had to sit here manager I'm sorry but you  can't sit here there are signs stating that these seats your kids are sitting on are closed I  don't care I want to eat with my family they are starving manager I understand but if you can't  respect these rules I'm going to have to call the police no I am a loyal customer and have been  for months and I deserve better service manager if you wait we can seat you over there pay gestures

  to our table okay how long is the wait 20 minutes entitled mom gasps then walks over to us you guys  got to go me what you heard me leave you and your friends need to leave because you guys have been  here too long me um we're not done yet don't talk back to your elders manager if you don't leave now  I'm going to call the police Poli for harassing my customers realizing now that she can get in  really big trouble she and her entitled family leave I ended up getting a meal on the house but  st

ill some people can be entitled during what's going on anyway hope you enjoyed edit since many  have asked I think the Karen was Mainland Chinese that speaks Cantonese I can tell by her accent  the dad was an expat so I don't know the dad had no idea what they were saying and just nodded this  entire conversation was translated into English so did my best but it's not perfect sometimes I had  a hard time understanding her because of her heavy Mainland Chinese accent speaking of ramen what's  you

r favorite flavor of ramen please let me know how an old rain jacket became my defense against  an entitled mom this happened about 2 months ago to give some more preface a long time ago I got  an old hand me down jacket from my uncle who happened to work in the prison system this jacket  happened to have a doj Federal Bureau of Prisons logo on it I've worn it many times and it's always  garnered some interesting reactions from people I just so happened to be wearing this jacket for  our encount

er with the entitled mom now on to the story me and my fiance went out to grab a bite  to eat on a Saturday evening as we ordered and set at our table we decided to play with our Nintendo  switch which apparently is entitled mom bait while we waited for our food after a few minutes I had  to go and use the bathroom a few minutes after I left according to my fiance some lady the entitled  mom of the story came up to our table and had her kid the entitled kid sit down in my chair which  prompted t

his exchange excuse me did you mind watching my kid there's no kids play area here  and I saw that you had a switch for him to play entitled kid what games do you have on your switch  do you have fortnite entitled Mom starts walking away have fun fiance putting the switch inside  her bag um ma'am I'm sorry but I didn't agree to watch your kid he's your responsibility also  I don't trust people I don't know with my switch entitled kid but my mom said I can play with your  switch entitled mom to m

y fiance hey now don't be like that it's hard being a single mom plus you  obviously have the means to entertain my kid so why not help me out fiance like I said I'm not  responsible for your kid I didn't even invite him to sit here please leave leave entitled mom  now you listen to me I know the owner here and I will have you thrown out if you don't watch my kid  as the entitled mom is yelling this I happen to be walking out of the bathroom towards the table  where my fiance was as I'm walking

up the entitled mom sees me coming and notices the doj logo on  my jacket a smirk crossed her face as I got to the table entitled mom tells me now you look like  someone in law enforcement this rude lady here is refusing to give my little angel her switch to  play with after she promised to do so me cutting her off and with a Stern voice is there a reason  you're harassing my fiance and trying to take the switch I bought for her I watched as the entitled  mom's smirk gave way to a look that said

oh crap she quickly grabbed her kid and made a beline  to her table the entitled mom didn't bother us afterwards outside of a Few Stolen glances we got  our food ate it and left after finishing our meal I was glad I picked that day to wear my uncle's  old raincoat I froze my psycho neighbor out of her apartment in college my two friends and  I decided to find a place together off campus we found a beautiful three-bedroom house with  surprisingly affordable rent the basement of the house was lis

ted as a separate apartment but as it  had a separate entrance and the indoor stairwell had been blocked off we weren't worried and the  thermostat was upstairs then the neighbor moved in from upstairs we could hear everything this adult  woman would call her mother and scream at her to pay for her cell phone bills and give her grocery  money AKA Taco Bell she would scream at whatever guy she was dating and one day she brought home  three puppies to scream at too we were terrified of this woman

and the noise was heck also we had  been idiotic enough to sign a lease stating we were responsible for all utilities period meaning  we were now financing her gas Water and Electric but with only only 2 months left on the lease  we thought we could just ride it out but then she started smoking constantly according to the  landlord she had quit for good when she signed the lease but for good only lasted 2 days since  it was Winter the heat was running nearly 247 and the smoke was wafting up from

the vents our  apartment and all our belongings began to wreak with smoke we contacted the landlord because we  had signed for a non-smoking apartment he told us we lived in a state where you could technically  call an apartment non-smoking even if it shared ventilation with a smoking apartment Forget  You leasing laws at this point my two roommates were heading out for a 2-e vacation they were  online students while I was residential leaving me alone in the apartment with the jerk smoker  in t

he basement I couldn't sleep or eat because my idiotic stomach decided to react to all the  secondhand smoke by aching and cramping constantly after 3 days I was a little insane I made a plan I  checked the forecast Lowe's in the 20s all week I borrowed a friend's Ultra insulated sleeping bag  I bought one of those ski masks with the holes for your eyes and mouth I got out my stocking  cap my Woolen socks and my down parka I bought tea hot cocoa and ramen and prepared to live off a  diet of hot

liquids and I turned off the heat day one she's screaming at her mother for forcing her  to move into this Frozen apartment day two she's screaming at her boyfriend because he won't let  her move in with him day three she's screaming at the landlord about how she's freezing day four  the landlord is at my door I greet him in full ski mask parka stocking cap array looking like  I'm heading out to Rob Santa Claus at the North Pole he asks me if I don't find it a little chilly  in the house I reply

I'd found all the cigarette smoke a little warm day five she's screaming about  the jerks upstairs to anyone who will listen and I'm sitting upstairs clutching my car keys and  my pepper spray with 911 typed into my phone she finally decides she's leaving and moving in with  Greg even though he just got out of prison and he lives in that creepy house in the woods with all  those biting dogs day six she's gone I silently bless Greg moral of the story there's a reason  the rent seems too good to

be true P.S for those wondering I did have a friend who worked Plumbing  stopped by to give me some advice about how low I could go before I burst the water pipes to hecken  back actually Ken I don't work here anymore or for you A friend of mine recently reminded me of this  the absolute best time I ever had dealing with a Karen in the world it happened about 30 years ago  so I'm going strictly by memory here I also have no clue what the name for a male Karan is so  I'll call him Ken I used to w

ork for a chain convenience store and back in the late ' 80s it  ran into financial trouble corporate decided that to cut costs they would sell off/ shut down all  locations that didn't have a gas station attached this included my location once the stores were  sold SL closed our positions would be eliminated and we'd be out of a job although I was only  the assistant manager for our location I was effectively running things as corporate had  decided to pull my manager off to a different locatio

n and the assistant would be good enough  since the store was closing anyway now on to the story cast we've got head hono guy from corporate  in charge of selling the store slightly involved near the end we've got k in the entitled dude who  bought our location and we've got me once chain announced they were going to be closing the doors  it was no secret that we would be shutting down of course us employees were still expected to give  good customer service that was usually no problem as we wer

e in a good area and we had pretty  decent customers they liked us we liked them but at the same time we had no flips to give for the  occasional carins it was nice being able to shut them down what were they going to do fire us good  times I wish I could remember specific instances but 30 years they all kind of run together now the  most entitled of all though was Ken turns out he had bought our location from chain and would be  taking over in about a month and a half during that time I was wor

king with head honchos guys  from corporate doing things at the store level for the sale meanwhile Ken came in a few times a  week demanding that certain things be done as if he already owned the place he wanted us to change  displays order specific products Etc pet honcho guys had already told me to ignore his demands  so all of them were met with some variation of no Ken I work for the chain not for you and this  isn't your store yet which sent Ken off in all his huffing Glory yelling that I w

ouldn't be acting  like that once he ran the place fast forward to the final day all the other employees had worked  their last shifts and as acting manager I opened the store that morning head honcho guys arrived  to go through whatever they needed and shortly before noon Ken showed up Ken and H honcho's guys  went into the back and once they came back out we closed the store in order to finalize everything  head honcho guys and I cashed out the register for the last time and most importantly I

turned over  my key to the store once that was done something close to the following happened head honcho okay  Ken we're done it's all yours now they start packing up to leave me just making sure chain  no longer owns this location Ken is in charge now yes head honcho confirms so I step out from  behind the counter of course Ken starts yelling I think yelling was his default mode Ken where do  you think you're going me home what does it look like Ken you get back here and get your butt back  b

ehind that counter where it belongs me calmly no I don't work for you Ken what do you mean no I  told you things would be different when I took over and now you have to do what I tell you to do  me with a huge grin on my face you just don't get it do you Ken looks confused you bought the store  you bought the inventory but you did not buy the employees and you sure as heck didn't buy me  so I'll say it one last time and try to get this through to whatever functional cells may  be floating around

in your empty head I don't work for you never have never will and since chain  store number 1 2 3 4 no no longer exists I don't work there anymore either since I'm no longer  needed here nod to head honcho guys I'm leaving Ken starts sputtering and yelling incoherently  realizing he now has nobody to work the register as I walk to the doors for my last time of course  I can't help myself as I'm pushing the door open I turn around give Ken my best customer service  smile and a cheery have a nice

day if I remember correctly the store didn't open again for a  couple of days at least while Ken tried to hire some employees but anyone from the neighborhood  who had seen him treating us so badly before the sale wanted nothing to do with him and even once  it reopened it didn't last long that's great Mrs can I have my fish cakes back now I live in a  city center near a marks and Spencer for those unaware of what that is it's a fairly middleclass  department store known for supplying overprice

d clothing for middle-aged ladies pretty but not  very functional home wees and Posh food stuff stuffs I don't shop there very often but their  food is quite good so I sometimes swing by on my way home from work or on a weekend to treat myself  to something tasty if you hit the sweet spot you can catch them when their yellow stickering  produce goes out of date that day I like doing this because their ready meals are quite good  and freezable so I can stock up quite cheaply and fill the freezer

to discourage myself from  ordering takeout this particular incident took place on a Sunday afternoon which is always a good  time for yellow stick because the store will have been quieter through the day however the payoff  on this is that it's a Haven for old middle-aged ladies the twin head and pearl Brigade they might  think themselves Posh but their elbows are razor sharp so there's a certain amount of risk involved  going up against them for the crash and Dent stuff so I'm cruising around

the store perusing their  Wares in m& they don't put the stickered produce in one place it's also spread around the shelves  as normal so I usually hit the the reduced section first and then go for a Wonder there was rich  pickings salad vegetables which I picked up for lunch stuff through the week for work and then  off I went in search of better things a few ready meals some meat a sandwich and some hack fish  cakes remember the fish cakes the fish cakes are important so I'm standing by a chil

ler minding my  own business when I become aware of someone next to me no biggie it's a shop people stand too close  I'm vaguely aware of an older well-dressed lady at my elbow but I don't pay much attention she nudges  the hand basket over my arm so I step slightly away from her and carry on looking in the chiller  a few seconds later there's another nudge and then another getting annoyed now I finally turn around  and look at her she standing there with my fish cakes in her hand already in her

basket is a bag  of salad and some Tomatoes which she's taken from mine she looks me right in the eye and slowly  carries on taking the fish cakes from my basket and places them into hers my face now must be a  dictionary definition of what the heck me excuse me what do you think you're doing morog she looked  like morog I'm sorry are these things not for sale me they were for sale they're now in my basket I  start trying to reclaim my purchases and manage to get the salad before she steps back

yes but  if they're in your basket they must be for sale surely me I am buying them give them back please  she's suddenly figing being a confused old deer oh but I assumed that if you work here you were just  putting them round the store for people to buy at this point I give her the Paddington stare I'm  wearing a Glasco Warriors rugby shirt blue denims and trainers I have no makeup on and my hair is  stuck to the top of my head she could not possibly think I worked here unless she had just st

epped  off the latest shuttle from Mars me do I look like I work here well it's hard to tell shop work  workers all look the same do you work in another shop that must be it me reaching for my tomatoes  no I don't I am shopping I do not work here I am buying these things now if you don't mind I point  at the fish cakes she looks at me blankly me Mrs can I have my fish cakes back please oh yes oh of  course it's a shame they're my husband's favorites he loves them me taking them back yes well I l

ike  them too there's plenty around the corner full price if you want some at this point I walk away  while she continues after me mumbling about being a poor pensioner but I just ignore her I spend  the rest of my time shopping with my basket in front of my body and the final kicker as I go  to pay she's at the dine in for 12 lb Chiller engaged in a slightly more agitated conversation  with another Shopper and an actual staff member apparently she tried to pull the same stunt with  someone else

who was less polite than I was I left them arguing over the last Beef Wellington  with red wine sauce got kicked out of Walmart for defending a cashier the year was 2014 in Calgary  Alberta at the beginning of November the first major snowstorm had blown in and deposited a good  amount of snow our company truck had blown a tire and for insurance purposes everyone in the truck  myself included were not allowed to change it so we took it to our wonderful Wally World to get the  tire changed we wa

ited patiently in the waiting area so we could get to work work during this time  an irate customer who shall be henceforth known as irate customer was tearing into the poor associate  working behind the counter side note I had done this exact job when I was in university so this  didn't help the conversation goes as follows customer what do you mean you don't have my tires  associate I'm sorry sir we don't have any more in stock the bays are filled and our stock is gone  this is BS I wanted tho

se tires how could you sell all of them I'm sorry sir but we can't sell you  something we don't have we will be restocked in a couple of days customer goes on an Unholy rant  on this poor associate for a good 5 minutes during this time I am just seething for how rude this  guy is being and hoping he will calm down customer continues to look back at the door looking for  support and then continues to berate this poor person now I am a very soft spoken individual I  do not start confrontation unle

ss required and at this point I had had enough I still up and looked  at the guy and said dude it's the first snowstorm of the year in Canada why would you think there  would be any tires left let alone you being able to get it right away and get them put on customer  shot daggers at me and said do you work here are you his manager no shut up this doesn't concern  you my cooworker who is 115 lbs of East Coast Fire gets right up into his face and says how can  you be such a jerk to someone just t

rying to do their job is your life so bad that you need to  boss other people around to make you feel better about yourself now I've never seen a mob mentality  before but it's amazing what happens when someone will call someone out on their BS and how quickly  a crowd will jump to defend someone they just need permission to act well after 2 to 3 minutes of  screaming and shouting with this guy the store manager was called to deal with the issue the  associate was questioned by the supervisor an

d other customers were filling them on the details  I was within earshot of the store manager and customer and heard this little gy customer all the  people are hating me because I'm not white they're all a bunch of jerks and Liars store manager  don't you dare play that card with me if I look through these security tapes will I see a bunch of  people ganging up on you because of what you look like after all this was said and done the man was  removed from the store the store manager came up to

my co-workers and I and said I appreciate that  you guys stuck up for my associates but because you instigated and elevated the issue I'm going to  ask you to leave but I have a colleague down the street who operates a body shop take your truck  there and he can get you in and out in about 30 minutes so that is the Tale on the best way and  reason I have ever been kicked out of a store I also hope it shows that if you see someone being  rude to a customer stand up for those people they make mini

mum wage and should not have to suffer  jerks who need a power trip girlfriend's entitled father ruins her birthday because everything  wasn't his way so my girlfriend had a doctor's appointment that we my grandma and I took her to  and it fell on her birthday so as we get there we found out we went to the wrong doctor's office so  we had to turn around and go 20 minutes through traffic we get there and soon we left the office  I surprised her by getting her Burger King her favorite food we get

back to her house about 5  to 6 minutes late when we get into her house and I help her with my daughter we were instantly  being bombarded and screamed at by entitled father why are you 5 minutes late I tried try to  explain to him why we were late due to traffic and other means entitled father still screaming says  I don't want to hear your excuses boy why are you late my girlfriend is very upset about her being  yelled at she starts crying and goes to her room my grandma tried to explain that

it was beyond  our control to why we are late he straight up tells her that she is lying and tells girlfriend  that I can't be there for her birthday and she starts to cry more and plead to him that he needs  to stop fr frustrated I storm out of the house and go sit in the car about 5 minutes later she calls  me and said that I can stay we sit at the table and they bring out the cake sing Happy Birthday  and start serving cake girlfriend is still very upset and still crying politely she declined

t Karen and hero bus driver I am a 34-year-old Dutch guy without a driver's license  it sucks but Dutch public transport kind of rocks so for almost 2 years now I've been using it to  get to my job and in those 2 years I've never really had a bad experience that doesn't involve  a late bus and rain until today that is because of what's going on bus schedules have been adjusted  to once or twice per hour it is far from ideal but I understand why kids are not going to school  so the bus company wo

uld lose money letting empty buses drive but when it came to the schedule I  drew the Short Straw because if I want to go by bus from home to my work I would be traveling  90 minutes instead of 40 and I would arrive at work 30 minutes earlier than normal to me this  is not an option so I decided to cycle to work halfway that way I cut 30 minutes out of the  trip and I get to work at my normal time the one problem today is that I am asmatic and it  was quite windy out this morning so I get to the

bus station this morning already struggling to  breathe I quickly lock my bike and walk towards the terminal focusing on my breathing 5 minutes  later the bus arrives I greet the driver driver and sit down a minute later our Karen of the  story enters the bus she takes a seat on the row next to mine and a few minutes later the bus  driver starts the bus and off we go I still feel like I'm struggling for breath and while coughing  I quickly get my inhaler and chamber out assemble it and start us

ing it as I struggle to breathe it  instantly works and I feel precious oxygen enter my lungs this Peaks Karen's attention what are  you doing she asks taking my medication I have asthma and with this weather it was quite a  struggle getting here I replied does it help with breathing she asks and I nod my head well  yes she extended the E I have kids at home and if they get sick I want them to be able to breathe  so give me that inhaler you can get a new one and she holds out her hand oh boy not

going to happen  lady I said in my most dry and mocking tone I need these meds I don't care give it here she says  as she thrusts out her hand again my kids need it more I tell her no and put my medication in  my backpack and try to put on my headset this is where Karen goes full entitled parent and grabs  my backpack and starts going through it luckily the hero bus driver was paying attention and we  all Lurch forward as he hits the brakes he stops the bus stands up and in his best drill instr

uctor  voice says lady give the man his backpack back now the there was absolutely no doubt of the authority  in his voice and the lady turns tomato red as she hands back the backpack I thought that was it oh  boy I was wrong I'm not going to type this in caps but our hero yelled every word why on Earth would  you think that someone's asthma medication would help against the sickness you are gross lady get  off the bus now the lady looks like a deer in the headlights but doesn't move get off now

he yells  again finally the lady got up and and out of the bus I thanked our hero bus driver as he sits back  down and we get on our way again as the bus drives off I saw the lady on her phone no assault police  destruction of property so it could have been much worse still I wish I could tell this to Karen too  bad we weren't out of the city yet you disgusting jerk crazy entitled mother tries to justify stolen  gifts this happened about 6 months ago when I was home from college one of my favor

ite things to  do in the city I live in is to visit the aquarium where I can spend all day the jellyfish are my  favorites but that's besides the point at the end of my trip I text our group chat and ask if  anyone's wanting anything from the gift shop which they did my total was around $80 which I didn't  mind spending on gifts I put them all into the bag I brought with me that day and set off for the  train station to get back home before I got to my line I decided I'd stop in this little Mall

type  area in the city which led to a train station so it wasn't too too far out of the way I Meander  for a bit looking at the shops and restaurants before eventually settling for a blizzard it was  that one with lots of chocolate fudge bits in it I can't remember the name and set my stuff down  besides me I like to listen to music and watch videos while I sit and eat so I had my headphones  on and the volume pretty loud so as I'm eating my delicious treat some little brat comes walking  past

and grabs my bag from the ground I was in a tall seat and the bag was on the ground with my  back to it so I'll admit that much was my fault but here is where it gets interesting so I finish  eating and go to grab my stuff realizing it's gone so I checked every place I stopped the bathroom  different shops and all the food spots I visited even if it was to just look at a menu no sign  of my bag so I start to panic what am I going to tell my friends I don't want to disappoint them  after promisin

g Treasures from the big city just as I was about to give up I spotted next to the  aformentioned Brad eating with his family so I go over to them and the interaction goes like this me  excuse me but that back down there is mine thanks for finding it Mom excuse me that is my son's  bag leave it alone and stop trying to take it kid yeah back off jerk it's mine already some bad  parenting has shown itself I don't mind cussing but this kid was like 12 or 13 and shouldn't  be insulting strangers me

well no that's my bag and I know it is it's got all my stuff in it Mom  I'm going to tell you one more time to leave us alone and stop harassing my son or I'll call the  police great it's going to be like this I thought to myself me to the mom you don't have to do that  ma'am I'll take care of that and wave over a cop who had been watching the ordeal probably in case  it got violent for some reason I'm a rather larger guy with an angry resting face so I understand  I should mention that her husb

and stayed quiet the whole time probably not wanting a part in  his wife's mess cop what seems to be the issue here before I could explain the mom pipes up hi  yes this man is threatening us because he thinks my son's bag is his but I am pretty sure he's just  trying to steal it kind of strange that I'd be the one to call over the cop but whatever lady cop to  me is that true he said with a bit of a sigh this probably wasn't his first encounter like this me  no no it's actually the opposite this

kid stole my bag and now his mom is trying to defend him  I doubt he even knows what's in the bag I was about to ask them to tell me but now that you're  here officer maybe you can act as a mediator cop all right sure so I hand him the bag and ask him  to look around in it after he does that I ask the kid to go first he doesn't get a single thing  right other than my charger cop huh interesting sir I guess it's your turn I smile then I list off  all the items I bought along with their price the

receipt was still in there and I had just bought  them so I was able to remember them accurately cop well sir it looks like you were right if you don't  mind I'd like to chat with these folks by now I could see beads of sweat on the kids head and the  mother was getting furious then I turned to the kid Me Maybe don't steal other people's stuff  next time jerk the mother was red in the face from anger and the kid was on the verge of tears  cuz now he had a cop getting ready to lecture him and hi

s parents will probably ground him until  he's 40 but I don't give a darn he stole my stuff anyways that's my story wish people did something  to correct their little klepto Behavior rather than try to defend them because not everyone  will take crap from an angry mom never assume what languages a person can or cannot speak so  this is an old story for me happened back in ' 08 when I was a stock person at a big box allpurpose  store including a grocery section I had a working knowledge of where

pretty much everything was  in the store because I was all over the place but the grocery department had its own stock team  specifically so I wasn't as knowledgeable there now two things to note here I am of Lebanese  descent and I was working in South Florida at the time for those that don't know South Florida  has a significant Cuban population but not so much Middle Eastern folks I got confused for Cuban all  the time because I had darker skin tone similar to a lot of Cuban folks I also spea

k fluent English  Arabic and French but I was born and raised in the midwest so my accent gives no indication that  I might be of Middle Eastern Heritage on this fine afternoon I was Wheeling back an empty tub  back to the stock room after having emptied out one Department over walking through the main aisle  next to grocery I hear an excuse me not rude but definitely not polite either I turned to find the  Arab equivalent of aarin let's call her Kadija Kadija is a 30-some looking woman wearing

yoga  pants and a tight shirt and a really fancy hijab and jewelry because that makes sense standing with  her husband I grew up in a predominantly Lebanese community in southeast Michigan so I definitely  know the type the conversation goes as follows me how can I help you miss Kadija I'm looking for a  specific item but I can't find it me oh I'm sorry I'm not as familiar with the grocery section so  I'm not sure where that is let me grab one of my colleagues for you one moment I could see one

of  the other customer service guys is in the grocery section so I radioed him to come over and help her  out me he'll be with you shortly Miss Kadija thank you but I'm in a hurry I thought you worked here  in New your store me I'm Sorry Miss I don't really work in this section colleague is coming right  down the aisle now kadia to her husband in Arabic they always get these stupid kids to work in these  places but they don't know how to do their job this jerk doesn't know his head from his butt

the  husband gave Kadija a look probably because he saw my expression turn from my customer service smile  to a frown I had an internal debate about what to do next when her husband spoke husband in Arabic  stop talking I think he understood what you said Kadija in Arabic of course he didn't he's an  idiot he doesn't know his hands from his feet it's an Arabic idiom doesn't translate the best  me in Arabic actually I understood every word you said I don't appreciate being called fat and  stupid

an older lady like you should know better than to insult people trying to help you worse you  wear your hijob like a hypocrite pretending to be devout yet you abuse your perceived social lessers  you should have some respect for yourself kadesia looked like she had been hit by a truck her olive  skin turned ghost white and she sputtered at me you you speak Arabic me in Arabic obviously I do  maybe next time you'll think before you insult people who help you when you think they can't  understand

Pisha grabbed her husband's arm and dragged him out of the store completely mortified  I could hear her husband yelling at her in Arabic that he warned her not to be a jerk all the time  especially when she doesn't know who understands her I wasn't personally that offended but I won't  deny it was satisfying to scare some sins into her a very wholesome I don't work your story after  frustratingly trying to get the bolt that plugs the oil drain on my car as well as the oil filter  I decided I sh

ould go out to get the supplies I needed to make my job easier changing the oil  after picking up a quick dinner and the tools I needed to loosen everything I decided I might  as well go shopping for what I needed since there was a store right across the street at first I  grabbed my essentials amazingly everything was well in stock at the store and I decided to look  through the liquor section to see if they carried my favorite craft beer and see what else they had  while I was looking a man in

his 80s henceforth known as man walked into the area man I can't find  the toothpaste me well this is the liquor section man I I know this is I think it's down iio 16 but  I'm not sure at this point I realize he thinks I work at this store I am wearing a black tea black  jeans and a stainless steel watch and necklace and the staff uniform is khakis and a black polo  with a store logo on it I was about to tell the man that I couldn't help him because I was not an  employee but I decided that I w

asn't in a rush and if he didn't realize I was an employee he might  really need the help me how about I help you find what you need man yes thank you I find the aisle  where I believe it is and I grab him a couple of things of toothpaste show him what is available  and tell him the prices after he chooses what he wants we make our way to the cat food aisle we  went through all the cans of cat food that were available more options than I thought existed he  would pick up a can and ask me to read

it I would tell him what it said and I would hold which cans  he decided he wanted after about 10 minutes of this he has everything he needs and he mentions he  had some coffee stored at a cashier and asked me to take him to the lady that that was keeping it  for him me oh I'm sorry sir I don't actually work here I just wanted to help you to make sure you  could get what you needed and get out quickly so you weren't around so many people for a long time  after he realizes what happened for the

last 10 minutes we try to find the person who was holding  onto his coffee but he decided to just visit a random cashier after this I kept looking through  their amazing liquor selections that they had in the store checked out and went home to finish  working on my car we did stay 6 ft apart at most times unless I was reading a label for him which  would be brief and I don't always help out whoever thinks I work wherever I shop it happens often  and I do help out most of the time but the place w

as busy and there were not a lot of workers so  everyone was busy if someone needs help you don't have to be their personal shopper but it's always  nice to help someone find what they're looking for a little kindness goes a long way stay healthy  everyone family of Karens takes over my restaurant my grandparents immigrated to Canada from Italy in  the' 70s and opened up up a restaurant when they passed away the restaurant went to my parents  over the decades they grew and expanded it I've been

working at the restaurant since I was 15 over  time my parents got older and eventually retired becoming snowbirds go to Florida for the winners  they left the restaurant to me about a few years ago but still retaining a small percent ownership  as an additional Revenue stream along with their savings and annuities soon as I gained control  I pretty much modernized the old place REM the restaurant changed the logo reached out to local  and National papers to put out ads invited food critics blog

gers vloggers Etc it was very slow  at first and I began to worry that the loan I took out to do all this was the biggest mistake  I had ever done and I ruined three generations of my family's business but eventually it began  to work and a local semi YouTuber featured us in one of his videos and that was the Catalyst for  more people to come and review and eventually we were seeing 5 to 10 times the business we usually  get even if it's a Monday we became a hot spot for major events and it wasn

't uncommon for celebrity  to come on those nights I even arranged for special high-profile chefs to visit and cook for  our guests costs of Fortune so during the holidays we were Beyond packed it got to the point where  people would have had to make reservations in July to get a table in December this process took  years to get to where we are now when it gets busy I don't just sit in the back office I'm on the  floor doing whatever needed to be done even if that means I greet people busing tab

les or even  mopping the floors other nights when we have high-profile guests or events I'm in a Blazer  and I'm acting in charge though on one night a group of Six Women walk in five of them look like  they're still in their early 20s and the head of the group looked like she was in her mid 20s best  theory she was one of the other four girls older sister or possibly an older sorority sister to  incoming College freshman maybe I was greeting at the door as they were walking up Queen B Karen  wa

s telling the baby Karens on how this place is awesome food is amazing and there might even be  celebrities here when she came up to me she told me she needed a table for six I replied of course  can I get the name on the reservation she looked at me and said oh I didn't make one but it's okay  the owner is a personal friend of mine he said he always has one or two tables that he keeps open  for special guests and said we can have one of those tonight now generally this is true of many  high-pro

file restaurants and lately I've been doing that as well but I had no clue who this  woman was and she definitely never spoke to me about any of this I did get she was trying to get  in without a reservation but she literally picked the worst person she could possibly talk to and  try this I told her I am sorry but we cannot seat anymore without a reservation as you can see we do  not have any seats available I did didn't want to go all out and say I'm the owner and we have never  spoken before

so I Never Promised You a thing because I didn't want to embarrass her in front  of the other girls at first she then went on and said out loud to one of the other girls to take  a picture of me she will speak to the owner and make sure I'm either cleaning the toilet or fired  by the end of the week the other girls following her lead were like yeah kiss your minimum wage  job goodbye I'm not sure if they were in on it with her or they honestly thought she knew the  owner queen be Karen then went

on and said look you can just give us a table or I can make life  very difficult for you this is not worth losing your job constantly pointing just trying to put  me down saying things like obviously you aren't anyone here because if you were you would know  who I am and never even try to tell me anything other than yes or of course constantly trying to  belittle me and get that table at this point it was a long day for me and the way I saw it I had  three options one tell her I'm the owner and

just call her out on all of this two just give her  the table and let it be three teach queen bee Karen and her little minions a lesson I chose  option three for various reasons including some personality flaws I am aware that I have but I  like to think it was at least 50% really wanting to teach her a lesson I smiled at her said of  course ma'am follow me please and I gave her one of the three tables we keep open in case a  celebrity comes in it happens time to time I told her I apologize for

everything and she is right  it would be simpler to just give her the table I also told her that the first three rounds of  drinks will be complimentary I set them down and personally served them as they were sitting down I  told them we do need one of your credit cards and IDs just to keep on file and we will give it back  to you before you leave Queen Karen gave me her cards and told the baby Karen Minions that tonight  was on her I took their orders and got them their free drinks and told th

em due to how busy we are  tonight there might be a delay on the food all they were thinking of and cared about were their  free rounds they ordered their three rounds and still no food they eventually called me and asked  me to check on it the whole time giving me the world's most nasty attitudes since even before  they ordered I told them I will check on it but also asked if they would like any more drinks they  ordered two more rounds by the time the appetizers arrived at this point they're a

ll drunk having  done nothing but drink on an empty stomach most of the night and only having had salads after as  more food arrives the more drinks are ordered what these girls never realized was they are at our  VIP table which alone costs a few thousand just to sit in but I didn't charge them for that what  I did charge them was for all the super expensive drinks they had throughout the whole night except  for the first three rounds in addition the table they were sitting in as mentioned was

VIP so the  menus were a bit different for one they don't say prices on them trade secret and in addition it  had certain higher-end menu options such as white Shuffle black caviar dishes and specially imported  west coast oysters among other things at one point in the night I was honestly rethinking what I was  doing and thought I might be going too far with these poor girls they might not know any better  but some things reassured me throughout all the night such as one of the baby Karens aski

ng me  if I felt like my life was worthless since all I ever became was a waiter also one of my other  employees told me how they were discussing how to mess with me to the point that they can just do  this whenever they want and I will know to always give them a table I also overheard them say he's  cute but I would never date a waiter like that he is such a pushover there were a bunch of comments  like that the whole night so I kept on with their life lesson by the end of the night each girl 

racked up a bill in the range of of $5 to $600 per person when I handed Queen Karen the bill of  $423 with tax and tip included of course I have never seen anyone sober up so quickly she went  from laughing and giggling with her friends to nearly in tears she called me over instantly and  asked if this was some kind of joke I took the bill looked it over and said oh yes I apologize  I will get you the correct bill in a moment again she felt a complete sense of relief thinking she  got someone el

se's bill called me an idiot and went on to talking to her friends to be fair I  did make a mistake I did forget to count her 8th order of a dozen oysters that cost about $120  per order so I gladly just went back and added it to the order when I went back to give her the  correct Bill she flipped out again going crazy I just asked if there is something on this bill  that she didn't order she and the girls in shock go over every single line of the bill including  the first few lines that show th

e their original three rounds which say complimentary they then  took out their phones and line by line went over everything for the 100th time adding everything  up extremely rattled Queen be Karen simply said one second I need to use the washroom part of  me thought that she might just pull a dond dash and leave the baby Kens with the bill but kind of  lowkey I did in a way remind her we had her ID and credit card without making it obvious I thought  she was going to run out on the bill 10 min

utes later she comes back with new makeup obviously she  has been crying and makes up a whole story on how the food was awful the drinks were bad and so on  demanding that as bare minimum I should cut the bill in half with the agreement the baby carens  will chip in even though she originally told them the night would be on her then as if a light  bulb went off in her head she again mentioned her relationship with the owner as if it were to  give me additional incentive to cut the bill in half h

olding back a grin at this point I  told her no just no I cannot change the bill she whips out her phone and shows me a series  of texts with someone called my restaurant's name owner which pretty much I realized what she  was doing in the bathroom just probably changed one of the other Karen minions contact name and  deleted previous texts to start this new script I read them and clicked on contact info and told  her that's not the owner cell number her reply was he has multiple phones for busi

ness and stuff of  course you don't know all his numbers I thought wow this girl thought of everything except I'm the  actual owner I told her how about this if we call him and he says that it's okay to take 50% off  the bill then I'll do it her reply was yelling and screaming and the whole time customers began  to start looking and I knew okay it's time to end this I told her already in a less accommodating  voice cut the crap little girl you don't know the owner you have never been here before

and if you  keep yelling I will call the police her demeanor changed and she was trying to defend herself the  best she could my reply to her weak comeback was my grandparents founded this restaurant my family  has been running this place for Generations I've worked here almost my entire life I am the one  and only owner of this restaurant and I have never once seen you heard of you and I definitely  never made a stranger I don't know and have never met before tonight any promises the mini care

ns  were just Frozen and didn't even know how to react Queen be Karen was in tears I said now I gave you  the table you wanted one of our specially reserved tables for high-end clients which I didn't charge  you for and I gave you three rounds of free drinks if you don't pay your bill I will call the cops  and hand them your ID in tears Queen Karen signed the bill and the many Karens took out their purses  to give her whatever cash they had which equaled to maybe a couple of hundred with the pro

mise to  pay her back more 2 Days Later a man walks into my restaurant fuming and asks one of my bartenders  to speak to me I was in the back office for a bit working so he waited a good half an hour for me  he was Queen B Karen's father she was with him too keeping her head down I took them both to  my office showed him highlights of the security cameras which were especially good quality of  audio because they were in the VIP which we have to keep good records of because we have had other  unr

elated incidents before so I showed him most of it their comments their orders their everything  when all was said and done he stormed out with her and was screaming at her the whole time they  were walking away haven't seen or heard from either of them since but the original bill I gave  them the one that didn't count the $120 oysters is framed on my desk side note I didn't lose as  much overhead on the table in three rounds as you might think the table was originally supposed  to be empty so I

didn't lose anything since I didn't expect to gain anything to begin with and  the overhead for the food and other drinks more than covered the loss on the three free first  rounds destroy our tree we'll destroy your driveway background our house is old it's really  old older than the town heck it's older than the Confederation the house was originally built by  a merchant from the area like 200 years ago it's old with its age comes a very big property line  and apart from a couple of adjustmen

ts here and there to account for infrastructure and Housing  Development it's basically unchanged from 100 years ago it rarely ever comes up here but in any  dispute relating to property lines the official Town plan takes precedent and our property line  crosses over into our neighbor's property this will be important later and now for the two  major players in this taale our jerk neighbor who we will call Lumpy he's just the worst he ran  an illegal Chop Shop in his backyard and seemed to be de

athly afraid of trees he also always took  a 2 we long vacation in summer and it was always at the end of July this part is also important  later the other one is my dad at the time he was in government oversight but before that he  was in the Department of Justice and his major responsibilities included training Crown Attorneys  this included the attorney's General in the order dad was actually pretty low but the crown knew and  respected him and they were keenly aware that dad knew the law ins

ide and out if there was anything  even remotely resembling a legal dispute dad was almost always in the right with his argument now  we begin our tale Theus Slide the line between our yard and lumpies was pretty clear our side  was grass Protestant lies shrubs and trees his was a gravel driveway before the incident there  was a large Manitoba maple tree growing there it was very old but grew in such a way that it  blocked just enough sunlight to have a pleasant level of light coming through the

window we had  no intentions of ever removing it maybe trimming a little if it got too close to the windows however  some lower branches were sagging onto Lumpy's driveway way so he asked if we could cut down some  of the lower branches so that his car wouldn't get damaged when he drove in and out it was a fair  enough request and he did ask permission first so we told him to get a landscaper and a quote  because we sure as heck weren't going to let lumpy do it and we're okay paying for that a

couple days  later we were all on a day trip somewhere and when we got back lumpy comes over and tells us not to  worry about the landscaper because he took care of it red flags were waving at that statement so  we win and check the tree this jerk cut the entire tree down then to add insult to injury he painted  the stump with some sort of weird gry stuff don't know what it was but it had to have been toxic  because nothing ever grew on that stump again not even fungi so we are understandably up

set but  unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it because there's no proof so now we've got a stump  that was once a beautiful tree a smug neighbor and apparently no course of action to take Dad didn't  accept that scenario I and he had a plan as I said earlier dad knew the law inside and out so he  began to plan things out he made a few phone calls to the town's civil architect a couple inspectors  the local landscaper lumpy was going to get that quote from and a contractor he visited c

ity hall  and got a copy of the official Town plan which remember is the final word on property lines he  had everything arranged and now he began to wait like clockwork lumpy went on vacation and the  plan was in acted over the course of 2 weeks we expanded we rebuilt our fence to New Dimensions  rearranged the shrubs dug up the gravel driveway and put fresh dirt and grass over it and planted  a weeping willow in a spot where as it grew would always hang and shed into Lumpy's yard with the  exp

anded fence and Shrubbery Lumpy's driveway was a small strip of pavement maybe half a meter  wide the fence placed an old dying Maple and a Hawthorne on our side but because of how the two  trees grew most of it was on lumpy side the key point is that the placement of the trunk dictates  whose property it's on so it's our tree that he can't touch no matter how annoying or destructive  it is with the New Dimensions The Chop Shop he was running was now on our side of the fence but  because it was

illegal it was just scrap metal as far as the law was concerned so we sold it to a  local scrapyard by the Time Lumpy came back our yard had expanded almost 3 m into his yard and  waiting for him was Dad the Civil architect a lawyer with a stack of documents outlining in full  detail that what they did was 100% legal and there wasn't a thing he could do about it aftermath  lumpy apparently tried to press charges something along the lines of trespassing or destruction of  property or something ri

diculous like that I had moved out of town at the time so I don't know for  sure what happened but I like to think the judge just threw the case out like I said everything was  above board and completely legal what I do know he did was tear up part of his law on and put a  new driveway he still had room for it but it also cut his lawn in half and he had to pay to have  sidewalk adjusted into a ramp also because the town was paying attention now he had to have it  done properly with like asphalt

and stuff instead of gravel like before he's also apparently  planning to move out and rent the property to others need a taxi not me guy I'm a music I play  in function in cover bands doing weddings parings and so on in bars hotels pretty much anywhere  where people ask us really as long as they pay us and we consider we're likely to survive the  experience as I'm out working late at night and usually in licensed premises I encounter a lot of  drunk stupid entitled people along the way it's par

for the course and they're usually not too  much of a problem but there are always exceptions one evening some nights ago I was playing in  a function room in North London there were two bands booked that night plus a DJ ours was a late  finish we were the final band on and our set began at midnight and ended at 3:00 in the morning we  played there quite regularly so knew the score the gig itself went fine and everyone enjoyed  themselves we finished our set and packed up our gear while the sta

ff began to shoe the customers  out and clear up the venue in preparation for closing as it was the middle of the night there  were few if any buses or public transport running those who had not arrived in their cars had to  find a taxi to take them home there was always a queue of taxis outside the front doors plus a  scrum of people trying to get into them as there were never enough cars to go around there was no  queue it was every man and woman for themselves the door staff did their best to

try and keep  order but it was a bit of a melee by the time we had packed away and were ready to load our kit  into our vehicles most customers had left leaving the stragglers who had not managed to find a taxi  I left my equipment by the door just inside the venue and went to fetch my car from the car park  across the street as I play the base I had two large speaker cabinets this was before the days of  compact lightweight Bas amplification two flight cases containing my instrument and amplif

ier  another case full of cables and accessories plus a couple of lights and part of the PA system  I drove a Volvo estate about the only vehicle that would accommodate the amount of stuff I had to  transport I parked outside the front door and went in to collect my stuff I wheeled the first of my  speaker cabs out to find three people sitting in my car I opened the tailgate lifted the speaker  into the vehicle and asked what they were doing there you're a taxi came the reply take us to  hares D

en sorry I replied I'm part of the band I need to load my equipment would you get out of  the car please don't give us that you're a taxi Now take us to I walked around to the passenger  door looked in and said listen maate take a look at my face ring any bells you've been looking at  me up on that stage for the last 3 hours I'm in the Band now get out of my car please don't lie  you Jer jerk you're up realizing this was going nowhere I went to the rear of my car and retrieved  the pickaxe handl

e I kept there for emergencies I went to the passenger door opened it and told my  new friends to get out and waved my little friend at them for the last time I'm not a taxi now get  out or you'll get this this had the desired effect they got out grumbling and went back to the front  door to wait for a taxi I continued to load the car big good night to the door staff got in and  started the engine as I did so one of the three ran to the car I quickly engaged the central  locking he pulled on the

door handle when it wouldn't open he wrapped his arms over the roof  and around the wind screen on the passenger side shouting take us to harleston you jerk his friends  headed towards the car so I engaged first gear and eased forward they stopped but our hero clung  on kicking at the door and yelling I increased my speed and swered from side to side in an effort  to dislodge him he clung on still yelling he held on and until I got to the end of the street but I  managed to throw him off by tak

ing the sharp Bend at the end of the road at speed he fell in a heap  in the road and lay there I didn't bother to stop to find out if he was all right customer drops  milk jug proceeds to grab another and buys it without giving us a chance to clean the previous  mess so like I said in my previous post I'm a closing cashier most days with a few days where  I'm in the aisles helping throw Freight here and there today was another cashier day and it was  right after my day off the shift was going f

ine and all not that many rude customers a couple of  times where I was pulled from the register to help move stuff the works then it happened enter  Kevin not his real name Kevin seemed normal enough nothing weird about him he came to me with  an arm full of items and asked where the milk was I pointed into the dairy section and he just kind  of left his stuff on my conveyor belt and walked like he didn't have a bunch of items on my belt I  think to myself okay a little weird but whatever he sh

ould be back back soon 5 minutes and a couple  customers later he finally comes up with another armful of things not including the milk me uh sir  did you find the milk Okay Kevin oh darn it I got distracted hold on another 5 minutes go by and he  finally gets a jug of milk the transaction goes like normal he pays and he gets ready to leave  me did you want me to grab a cart for you sir that seems like a lot of stuff to carry Kevin nah  I got it grabs every everything but the milk which he saved

for last I legit thought to myself  the second before this happens I sure hope he doesn't drop it well boy let me tell you he drops  it from his arms to the floor The Jug crashed on both sides so even if the other cashier I had in  front of me was plugging one hole the other would just be a Milky waterfall we panic and toss it  in the trash can and call for a wet cleanup now usually if someone damages an item in store  that they already bought we'll replace it for them they already paid anyways

however I was in  so much shock from the sheer amount of milk that ended up on the floor on my point of sale station  and even going into my co-worker point of sale so he ended up buying another jug so he goes to get  it while I'm trying to get as much milk up as I possibly can without a mop until a courtesy clerk  shows up and he goes into my line the one with the dairy flash flood that would make Noah's Arc blush  so now he's got more of a mess since he's leaving bootprints everywhere in the

front and he's bought  another jug of milk I didn't care I just wanted him out of there so I could get this cleaned  it took us about half an hour to get all of the milk out of wherever it all went to the manager  saw all of this and she let me take my last 10 minutes early the only sort of ending I have to  this story is that a couple days later I was in the aisles with new courtesy clerk that helped  me clean it all up basically just helping set up spots to put the new products in and Kevin's 

back he recognized me and immediately apologized I wasn't mad or anything at him it was just a whole  sequence of events that kind of overwhelmed me at the time I said it was fine and I was glad to help  him out and he went on his way so basically I'm going to have flashbacks whenever I see a gallon  of 2% in my fridge entitled mom treats me like an ATM backstory allowed a friend of a friend who was  down on her luck to room with me for 2 years so we did become close friends as she needed to ge

t away  from her horrible ex slfa of her son in hindsight the the fact her boyfriend at the time would not  spring for a place for her to move in with him should have been a red flag for me there's a whole  other story regarding both the father and the boyfriend's plural that I won't get into right now  fast forward a couple of years stuff happened lost my job had to move back home literally across the  country got rehired still kept in contact with her and since I could afford it $100 every cou

ple of  months to help her out wasn't hurting my finances while she was down on her luck she was back living  with her mom and on government assistance for a while so it was infrequent enough that it didn't  bother me but after a while I was getting tired of her begging me to borrow some cash realized I  never did tally the total amount and was shocked to find out it was over $112,000 over 8 years so  I basically gave her an ultimatum early last year essentially I'm cutting you off at the end of

this  year 2019 you have a year to get your act together if you do great you don't need to rely on me  anymore if you still need help then I'm just throwing money away into a black hole I thought I  was helping you get back on your feet not letting you live off of me whatever the case come January  1st I'm not responding to any requests for money period things were cool the first half of the year  but then the latter half is when things went South first it was more frequent requests for money l

ike  helping for the initial deposit of an apartment as her new job didn't pay her yet or groceries okay  critical life stuff I can accept like she'll need a cell phone plan to handle email and such for  job hunting but then it was like requesting $500 in the span of 2 weeks and small chunks of $40  here $80 there then one time instead of asking first she just send a money request from her bank  as if I was an ATM and would just blindly send it along and if I didn't respond right away she'd  spa

m my phone even though she knows I'd be busy working in meetings or commuting a portion of it  is on the subway so I'd be offline for around 30 minutes but obviously she can't wait that long  cue the phrase we've seen in this sub for a lot of entitled parents failure to plan on your part  does not constitute an emergency on mine then the parent Parts there were incidents like asking me  to pay for her kid's medication because his dad forgot to pack it for his visitation why should  I be paying f

or this not my kid shouldn't you be asking his dad no I'm not giving you $80 for a bus  ticket for your son to visit you I know you miss him but I don't see it as a critical expense I'm  sorry but maybe you should try deferring the visit till later when you're more financially stable I'm  sure your 12-year-old son will understand then the kicker this past Christmas she had saved enough  money to buy a Nintendo switch not you know saved up the money to handle surprise expenses or pay  me back not

that I expected but went immediately towards a very expensive gift for her son the  reason she was contacting me however was that her ex-boyfriend not the one from before I've lost  count of which boyfriend probably number eight at this time had serious entitlement anger and mental  issues broke into her apartment stole a bunch of stuff like the switch and ponded it thankfully the  police were able to get him and I believe he's in jail now however she's still out of a present but  instead of ge

tting a cheaper present or asking around other friends and family to pitch in she  contacts me first and asks for $200 to go towards the present obviously I declined I think she  eventually settled on a gaming keyboard and mouse for him naturally she used the ruined Christmas  line on me which got me really upset her ex ruined it not me I don't really owe her anything she's  not entitled to my money I'm not an ATM at her beck and call so far in 2020 she still tried to  borrow money but I've held

true to not giving her anything also never having roommates ever again  especially people with kids entitled sister wants to be given a lak house for free background my  grandparents owned some nice land on a lak Shore about 4 hours away and decided to build a little  vacation house on it they would spend every summer there at first Sometimes bringing my two older  sisters along the eldest entitled sister and cool sister entitled sister went for the whole summer  a few times without cool sister

I didn't go at this point in time because I was too young it is  important to note that while initial ownership of the land and some of the construction costs were  paid for by my grandparents it was really my dad that paid the rest of the bills taxes utilities  lawn services Etc which he saw as fair enough since they helped him start his business and he  loved his parents as time went on and their health was declining they started going to the lake for  much shorter spans of time I think I wen

t once or twice with them on these shorter trips and would  go with my parents on the rare occasion they would go up in fall and a few times for the 4th of July  those fall trips were almost exclusively to do maintenance with a little fun on the side around  this point in time grandpa passed away Grandma would be around for a long time after that though  she was always much healthier than he was when my sisters were old enough to drive and do their own  thing an agreement was made between my dad

and grandma that my sisters could go to The Lakehouse  whenever they wanted to on the occasion that every other trip they would would bring Grandma with  them as she couldn't drive the trip herself cool sister held this bargain up for the few times she  went I even got to join them for a couple of those trips entitled sister not so much I think entitled  sister brought Grandma to the lake two maybe three times collectively with a lot more trips with her  husband in between than could possibly e

quate to every other time eventually she just forgot the  whole take Grandma with you thing and started just going to the lake all the time her forgetting  grandma got to the point that when she would come back after her trips to drop the keys off that  she was always too busy to come in and say hi to Grandma for a minute the rest of us saw this  as majorly uncool Grandma herself felt extremely betrayed by entitled sister because of that it's  worth noting that when entitled sister was little sh

e was most certainly my grandparents favorite  they were always buying her things and taking her places and treating her like a princess that  probably explains why entitled sister turned out the way she did at this point in time the lake  house more so belonged to my dad than anyone even though he barely used it partially because  he didn't have the time to go partially because he had too much pain physically to want to make a  4-Hour trip one year for Christmas entitled sister bought new sheet

s and comforters for the beds  at the lak house and boxed them up and gifted them to my dad this essentially was a gift to  herself though as at this point in time she was the almost exclusive user of the house it was seen  for what it was everybody chocked up to her usual selfishness but didn't call her out on it my dad  had strongly debated selling the lake house since only entitled sister was using it for anyone who  knows what just owning a house costs in America he had good reason for wanti

ng to take those bills  off his desk but he decided against it as my grandma was still around and felt it would break  her heart if he sold it possibly harming her than dwindling Health entitled sister continued to use  the house to were Hearts content with rare trips in between from my parents and even rarer trips  from cool sister my parents would bring Grandma to the lake the few times they went since entitled  sister couldn't be bothered to do so at this point in time I was able to drive but

being single and  not really having any friends who are outdoorsy I didn't really see the point in going there  alone so I didn't go other than sometimes with my parents maintenance fell to my parents myself and  cool sister that was mainly what those rare trips I was in involved with revolved around entitlement  gone wild not too long after this Grandma passed away and left everything to Dad since he was  the one keeping everything paid for and fixed entitled sister continued to use the Lakeho

use as  she had been doing albeit with even a little more entitlement now that she felt it belonged to her  the rest of the immediate family went and cleaned up the house so it would present nicely for sales  photos entitled sister flipped when she found out the house was going on the market stating oh oh  yeah I guess dad is going to Hawk the house and pocket the money to my mother at one point this  sentiment quickly got back to my dad and my dad being Kinder than I could have offered the hous

e  to entitled sister for free the plan was to gift it to her a certain amount every year for 10 to  15 years so she wouldn't be taxed on the exchange of the deed and that entitled sister's family  would just take over the bills she didn't like this because she felt he was just going to take  it away from her at the last second even though there was no plausible reason he would want to  do that especially at his age she also didn't like the $6,000 a year in property tax utilities  Lawn Care Etc

saying that they couldn't afford it even though her family was taking something in the  order of 10 to $220,000 worth of vacations every year in addition to the numerous Lakehouse trips  it was also offered to become hers instantaneously which would cost her extra money but then she  wouldn't be afraid of having it taken away this of of course was also rejected so dad put it  up for sale as he was tired of paying $6,000 a year for something he didn't use and barely  anyone other than entitled si

ster used entitled sister raged about this and her 37 going on 13  way but that still didn't stop her from going to the lake all the time she said it would and it  did at first but it didn't stay that way for very long the lake house set on the market for years  with periodic price drops as it was originally listed at an optimistic price by my dad and  hopes that he might recover some of the sunk costs from over the years the offer of you can  just have the Lakehouse just pay the bills was float

ed to entitled sister at least two more times  during this I believe she assumed the house would never sell and dad would eventually just give  up enough time had passed that I found myself in a steady relationship with someone and finally  felt I had a reason to go to the lake house since it was still in the family but it seemed that any  desirable date and time I wanted to go entitled sister had already laid claim to it so even though  I was busy all the time similar to my dad and had rare opp

ortunities to go I had to schedule around  entitled sister who was able to go to the lake pretty much anytime she felt like it her schedule  was SL is immensely flexible because she didn't SL doesn't work her husband makes loads of money  and pays for everything for her recently though out of nowhere some buyers found the Lakehouse and  the whole closing process began closing day was to be in less than a month my parents couldn't  decide how to delicately give this news to entitled sister since

they knew crap was going  to hit the fan with her the decision was taken out of their hands when entitled sister came to  my parents house and announced she was going to the lakeh house on XYZ date that was a week after  the closing date they were forced to tell her that it is sold and she started crying and sprinting  back to her car it was as though she was she was five and just discovered that Santa isn't real  mind you at this point she was 42 a couple days later her husband came over to hav

e a talk with  my dad about the lakeh house and title's sister didn't join her husband in this just gave him a  few talking points this presumably was because she was incapable of holding back her rage during the  meeting in the conversation the deal of you guys can just have the house just take over the bills  was offered yet again and rejected yet again for the same BS reason through further discussion it  turned out that entitled sister and her husband felt my dad had enough money and that my

dad was  more than able to continue paying the bills on the lake house so it could stay in the family red keep  getting used for free by entitled sister my dad with the apparent patience of a saint didn't flip  out over such an unreasonable expectation just stated they were at an impass and it was going  to be sold entitled sister's husband then tried to bargain for entitled sister to go for one last  weekend because entitled sister wants to at least at least say goodbye to Grandma this is tota

lly  laughable since entitled sister couldn't be asked to take a minute out of her busy schedule to even  say hi to the Sweet old woman when she was alive I don't think entitled sister even gave her a phone  call in all those years my dad didn't point out any of that though just stated that since the  deal was so close he didn't want to do anything that might upset the buyers this was met with  immense disappointment as now entitled sister's husband had to go home and feel her wrath when he  del

ivered the news the end result the lake house was sold to a lovely older couple at a pretty  sizable loss entitled sister is barely speaking to my parents now not a big change from normal really  shocking I know despite my parents being far more accommodating than I would have been in their  position at one point in the time since the sale she mentioned that she had spent over $300 on the  bedding for The Lakehouse that she wasn't going to get back since the new people kept the furniture  this i

s of course forgetting the part where where she gave the bedding to my dad for Christmas  many years before I don't really know what her ingame was did she expect my dad to keep paying  the bills until he dies if so what then if she were to inherit the lake house at that time she  would still have to pay the bills they just can't afford plus the exorbitant taxes for transferring  something valuable the most likely scenario I can come up with is that she was assuming because I'm  most likely to t

ake over the Reigns in the coming years that I would take over the bills and let  her keep using it tolerating her crap the same way my borderline saintly parents have pretty  amusing considering she barely acknowledges SL has acknowledged that I even exist over the  years that used to really bother me but this whole situation among other unnecessary confrontations  has made me realize things were slash are better off that way Karen at the movie theater I worked  at a small movie theater that us

ually showed some alternative films that there were several other  activities in the building including choirs and theater groups but I worked for the cinema and  did not keep a track of where and when the other activities were at the cinema we had a computer  connected to the movie ticket booking and the Cinema's email this computer had settings so we  who worked there couldn't be on whatever Pages we wanted important info this time I was working  on a Wednesday for the first time and had no id

ea what was happening in the building except what  film I was going to show while I was sitting at the computer arranging Small Things Karen shows up  excuse me yes what can I help you with do you know where the international choir has its practice  unfortunately no I only work for the cinema and have no knowledge over other activities don't be  silly look it up on the computer for me I can't do that the computer only works with the programs  we have for Cinema and the booking so you can see all

the bookings in the building no I I can't  I can only see the cinema bookings are you too important to help me or what me excuse me but I  don't know how I can help you I don't know where the international choir has its practice where  they start or who is responsible for them but I know we will be showing our movie tonight if  you're interested Karen storms off and I remain slightly irritated visitors to the evening's  movie come and pay for their tickets enter the salon and sit down 5 minutes

before I closed the  doors Karen came back back I couldn't find the choir so I'll take the cinema instead me sorry  for not being able to help you sooner but fun you want to see the movie then I explained that  it is free placement in the salon and what the tickets cost and that it's to a discount if you're  over 65 do you think I'm old now too me surprised no this is information I provide to all customers  you still think you're too important for me but I buy a ticket anyway me okay okay here'

s the price  wasn't it cheaper if you're over 65 it's cheaper I am over 65 then you will get the discount I  write in the discount and print out her ticket and give it to her she snarls and goes back into  the salon time goes on and afterwards I started the movie I can start putting away the candy and  warm my lunch then Karen comes out from the salon looking at me Karen what did you get paid to eat  me when the movie is on I can't do much else the computer is locked no more customers will come 

in and I'll be here until after the credits are done so yeah I'm having my dinner now the computer  certainly Works me no I can't prepare tomorrow's movies today because when the last movie of the  day is started the screen locks for security reasons but can I help you with something because  you're not in the salon watching your movie Karen I didn't like it so I'll go now and I'll tell your  boss how unpleasant you have been with me tonight night she goes away and I eat up my dinner before  I

email my boss and tell him what had happened my boss replies by reminding me that I cannot use  the computer after the last movie goes and ask if anything else happened during the evening not  the best boss have more stories just about him I answer no and the rest of the time I spend on  YouTube on my private phone no sir I cannot valy your car I don't care if you're friends with the  president of the company once upon a time I was a valet for a semilocal hotel chain my hotel in  particular had

multiple floors of event space and no on-site garage therefore sometimes we  would have 400 people attending an event and we could only Park a handful of cars this night  was one of those nights we had two large events which had already begun 2 hours ago and for some  event people were still showing up and arrives our entitled man I'm busy opening a door for someone  when he pulls up in our loading zone and stands outside his car talking to someone on the a phone  I walk over and he just holds o

ut his hand with his keys and continues with the conversation  me hi sorry but we're full for event parking him H then just leave it where it's at I'm late me  unfortunately that's not a spot I can't certainly direct you to the nearest parking structure him oh  what's one more car just park it me I'm sorry but we just can't accommodate any more Vehicles it's  a car it'll fit anywhere me I'm sorry but I really don't have room he angrily walks back to the car  phone still in hand then turns back t

owards me does it help that I'm friends with the president  of your company no then I'm going to call him and tell him that this hotel can't even valet  like they're supposed to this is unacceptable me okay and he Huffs his way back to his car  and speeds off into the sunset or around the block but whatever and I did not run into him the  rest of the night which was nice because I thought for sure sure he would come back to scream at me  he actually did call the president and told him how we cou

ldn't valet him in which the president  laughed at him and told him to arrive earlier why did you seat those people we were here first this  happened at my first hostessing job years ago but it still makes my blood boiled to this day it was  a usual busy weekend and an elderly couple walks in with no reservation and I told them it's a  15-minute wait but luckily there's no one in front of them and they were peeved the rest is an  open floor plan and you can see the entire dining room from the fr

ont door but I guess they couldn't  see that well because obviously they couldn't tell how busy we were the elderly couple sat in the  waiting area and waited while staring me down not even a few minutes later some people came  in that are actually meeting a big party that's already half there and seated they just needed  help finding their friends I showed them where their friends were and when I got back up to the  host stand the old lady threw her hands up in the air and said what what the he

ck and the old man  went berserk why did you see those people we were here first I explained to him that they weren't  a new table that their party already arrived 30 minutes ago and they're just the remaining guests  left of that big party you would think that would be the end of his fit but since he knew he  couldn't be mad at me because I was actually right he started going off about something else  well you better do your job right then and seat us right now this is ridiculous I replied don'

t  worry sir I know how my job works I'll seat you when there's actually something available and made  them wait an extra 10 minutes on top of their 15 just to be Petty but they literally didn't even  notice I don't know why but this story still gets me raging entitled people ignore me and steal my  groceries As I Lay unconscious in the middle of the store I have a heart condition called NCS  which essentially means that the nerve that controls dilation of my arteries can get triggered  for no r

eason causing my blood pressure to Plum it and me to black out for most people this either  happens with a trigger such as blood or pain or they have a high enough normal blood pressure that  if the nerve does get triggered they don't drop to a low enough blood pressure to fall unconscious  long story short I usually can't walk for long periods of time without passing out so I typically  order my groceries ahead of time online and pick them up to avoid putting myself in IND dangerous  situation

however thanks to people panic buying at the start of this whole thinge going on everyone  and their brother were ordering groceries online to avoid contact and stores were out of everything  on top of that so all online order slots either couldn't be filled or were taken up for 2 weeks  into the future this meant that I had to walk around the store to find my groceries which is a  lot harder than it sounds for someone who can drop without warning this day in particular I ended up  having to try

six different stores to find what I needed and by the time I got to the grocery store  that had the bulk of the items I needed I was exhausted and slightly dizzy but I I had to finish  my shopping or there would be no food in the house thanks to everyone who was hoarding anyway I get  about halfway through the store my cart piled up including the last of a few items and I feel the  familiar feeling of my body giving out under me I was able to get to the ground and sit safely  but I was losing C

onsciousness quickly at least four people passed me while I sprawled out on  the floor covering their faces and rushing away like they thought I was sick or something finally  after what felt like an eternity a kind old lady approached me to ask if I was okay all I could do  was pull my medical alert necklace from inside my jacket before everything faded away I don't  remember much of what happened exactly but in the spurts that I was awake I remember an employee  with a gallon of water trying t

o make me drink and then vaguely a paramedic showing up by the time I  came to the employee asked if they could pull my card off to the side until I was done in the back  of the ambulance I agreed knowing that as soon as I had more fluids in me I'd be back to normal in  a matter of minutes 20 minutes in the back of an ambulance and a full bottle of water later and  my blood pressure was back to normal my sister was on her way to help me get home safely and I  was released to go check out my groc

eries when I came back into the store however my groceries  were gone the same vultures that had passed me while I was helpless and nearly unconscious on  the floor had found the cart the employees tucked away from me and picked through it all and taken  whatever they wanted I was upset and too weak to reshop I left the whole hot mess of a situation  empty-handed and had to go back again the next day because apparently people are entitled enough  to pass up an unconscious person in the middle of

the store to resume their Panic buying as well as  to steal from a cart that was clearly set aside by employees entitled mom spent an hour shopping  while her kids screamed the entire time then tried to exchange clothes from over a year ago so  this happened a few years ago when I was working part-time at a clothing outlet let's just say that  this company sells higher-end clothing and caters almost exclusively to Karen my life was heck for  those two years God bless those who work there full-t

ime you are the real heroes cast we've got  me we've got entitled mom the lady who has clearly never interacted with another human being we've  got entitled kid her screaming one-year-old and we've got my poor coworker let me start by saying  this was a Saturday shift in a crowded shopping mall and I was working a double to cover for a  coworker I had recently been promoted to shift lead so I was the manager on duty that day and was  closing fast forward to the end of the day the day was insane

and by the end of it both my cooworker  and I were exhausted we were tidying up the store and taking care of all the Gob backs when I heard  the door open it was 8:53 we close at 9:00 enter entitled mom and entitled kid typically if we have  customers that come in that late it's to grab a gift card or something we do have the occasional  Shopper that comes right right before close and stays a while but they are typically fairly  quick when they realize that they are the only ones there holding u

s up not tonight the first  thing I notice is that entitled kid is screaming like it's really loud I walk up to greet entitled  mom over the sounds of her screaming Offspring me good evening ma'am is there something that I can  help you find today entitled mom no thanks just browsing the worst answer me okay well let me know  if you need help with any anything before I close the dressing rooms my little way of insinuating  that it's late and I want to go home entitled mom well I'll definitely ne

ed a dressing room can you  go ahead and start one for me me yelling at this point over the sound of entitled kid screaming  sure thing entitled Mom sorry about him he's had a long day haven't we all as I walk away I noticed  that entitled mom has a trash bag full of clothes underneath the stroller that she's carting around  her screaming kid and odd but whatever maybe she has a Goodwill donation for the next hour and  a half this woman tries on every single article of clothing in the store per

corporate policy  we can't rush guests as they shop as long as they come in before clothes we tried everything  turning off the music sweeping the floor closing the two out of three registers Etc pretty much  all the indicators that we are closed and to get out and yet she stayed and her kids scream for  an hour of it before he fell asleep at around 10:30 she's ready to check out I have co-workers  start to ring her up so I can get closing started in the back and get us the heck out of here I'm 

in the stock room when I hear the screams I rush out and I find this lady screaming and cooworker  who is one of the nicest people I've ever known is crying at this point NE what seems to be the  problem anything I can help with entitled mom yes you can fire this idiot because she's treating  me like absolute garbage I don't think corporate will be very happy to hear how their employees  are treating paying customers cooworker looks at me with tear-filled eyes me coworker will  you go to the ba

ck and finish the online orders for me I'll take care of entitled Mom okay ma'am  what can I help you with entitled mom well I was trying to get these clothes returned so I can put  the credit towards my purchase entitled mom then takes the full garbage bag of clothes and dumps it  out in front of me technically the clothes inside the bag were all from the store where I worked  however they were all a year older or more clearly well-worn no tags me ma'am I'm so sorry but you  cannot return these

what why not well for one they don't have any tags you don't have a receipt  and they have clearly been washed and worn by you for quite some time returns are typically recent  purchases that don't quite fit well these don't fit me me anymore so I would like to return them  said in a very condescending tone me our return policy is 30 days and it can't be washed and you  need a tag or receipt can't you just give me store credit no I cannot you can try resell shops if  you want to but we aren't a

thrift store these pieces aren't even in production anymore I'm  not an idiot I know these clothes are from a while ago because I'm the one who bought them  they don't fit me anymore because I was busy creating human life and now I need new clothes  she gestures to her poor exhausted kid who at this point has woken up and began to scream again  me ma'am I'm sorry but I still can't accept these as returns can I help you purchase the clothes  you picked out today like heck you can't I have had a

long day and deserve this I can't afford  to buy these without returning my old clothes me then I don't know what I can do for you you can  get me your manager me full of satisfaction I'm the manager on the floor tonight well then you are  so done for I'm calling corporate to report you me here's their number call center open tomorrow  at 7:00 a.m. entitled mom's mouth dropped pretty sure she didn't expect me to be so Cavalier about  getting reported but I did not give a single hoot at this poin

t she was quiet for a moment and took  a deep breath and asked if I could help her bag up her old clothes to take with her so she could give  her screaming kid a snack I was pretty shocked at the abrupt mood change but whatever I'm exhausted  and want to leave so bad I start bagging up her old clothes when she reached down to grab her kid  snack as I'm putting the clothes in the bag she reaches over the counter grabs the clothes she was  going to purchase and then runs towards the door I just st

and there because it's against our policy  to stop people from shoplifting anyway and I've locked the doors to prevent other people from  coming in she gets to the doors and violently Yanks the handle back and forth trying to open  them I calmly walk over let me out me sure thing I hold out my hands for the clothes she glares at me  then wisely decides it's not worth it she shoves the clothes at me and turns away muttering at me  as she does so I unlock the door and she leaves as if that encount

er wasn't crazy enough she  actually called corpit to complain after literally trying to shoplift from our store what a wild ride  entitled jerk almost paralyzes my friend parents scream at principal and refused to pay hospital  bills today I have an amazing story for you by the way this story took place in a private school  cast we've got me we've got entitled kid entitled mother entitled father the teacher and my friend  background entitled kid is a jerk there is no doubt about it he's an arro

gant jerk who thinks he  can get away with anything and he pretty much can since whenever people call him out he calls his  mommy and daddy who are friends with a principal we think they bribe him so he never gets in  trouble all the teachers and students who know him hate him but since I'm in a private school what  the principal says goes so no one can do anything about him luckily I changed schools this year as I  got accepted into a gifted and side tech school so I'm finally done with him the

actual story friend  and I were in music class with the rest of our class including entitled kid we are unfortunate  enough to have to sit next to entitled kid as all three of us play the saxophone and teacher seats  us According to which instrument we play since entitled kid always sits on the end seat friend  and I take turns next to entitled kid today was friend's turn entitled kid was completely  ignoring class and was just spending his time annoying friend entitled kid would pull back  fri

end's seat every time friend tried to sit down 20 minutes into the class and friend had already  caught entitled kid doing it five times and pulled his seat back into place so he could sit in it  unfortunately friend didn't catch entitled kid the sixth time he tried this friend had just finished  playing his solo and when he sat back down entitled kid pulled his seat back yet again friend  didn't notice so he ended up falling backwards however entitled kid didn't pull his chair back  very far so

friend actually ended up hitting his head against the sharp edge of the chair keep  in mind these chairs are solid metal and friend hit his head right above the neck where the spinal  cord was located friend is really hurt and down on the floor nobody noticed this until friend cried  out in pain everyone looked over and saw him and entitled kid with a guilty look on his face for  a second nobody moved then it was pandemonium I and another friend of mine rushed over to friend  and started helpin

g him some other kids ran out of the room to get the principal teacher just stood  there with a shocked look on his face friend's mom ended up being called and friend was taken to the  hospital where he was treated I don't know exactly what happened at the hospital because friend  didn't want to talk about it afterwards and I didn't press him back at school things weren't  looking good for entitled kid even though the principal usually didn't punish entitled kid when  he did something wrong with

so many eyewitnesses and with friend possibly being seriously heard  the principal had no choice but to suspend entitled kid for 2 weeks entitled kids parents  were called and I and a few others were asked to stay to give a more detailed account of what  it happened at this point you guys are probably wondering why this was posted in r/ entitled  parents since there haven't been any yet well don't worry you're not going to be disappointed 15  minutes after entitled kids parents were called an e

xpensive car came screeching into the parking  lot way faster than the speed limit the driver and passenger doors were thrust open and out  came entitled kids parents they were dressed in business suits an entitled mom had sunglasses  on they stormed to the front entrance and threw open the doors yelling at him entitled father  what have you done Why is my kid suspended at the principal the principal explained why entitled  father that's BS entitled kid is perfect and would never do that your Wi

tnesses are lying he pointed  at me and the other Witnesses how dare you trust them over my son principal sir please calm down  even the teacher saw what happened entitled mom then fire the teacher he is a liar principal  entitled kids parents please calm down we trusted you principal yelling now do not yell at me leave  the premises now or I'll expel your son fine but you'll be hearing from our lawyer they left with  entitled kid in toe and the principal collapsed in his seat and sighed in reli

ef he told us to go  back to class and he'd call us down again later he didn't say why but he was probably exhausted after  that encounter this was the last I ever saw of either of them but the story wasn't over yet from  this point forward everything said here is from friend's point of view and was told to me after  words by friend this isn't the exact conversation but it's the gist of it friend's total medical  bills came to about $500 because although healthc care is free and they had Insuran

ce friend's  mom also took friend to a naturopath and an acupuncturist friend and his mom met with entitled  kids parents in a coffee shop 3 days after the incident to settle outside of Court as soon as  friend's mom sat down to the table entitled kid's mom threw a $20 bill at friend's mom and said  there you go that should cover it friend's mom told entitled mom that the total actually came to  $500 not 20 BS said entitled father Healthcare is free friend's mom told entitled parents that they 

had gone to a naturopath and an acupuncturist and then showed them the bills that's your problem if  you decided to go to some Fancy Pants specialist That's your choice you pay for it replied entitled  father friend's mom explained that friend had been almost paralyzed had Damage Done to a spinal cord  so friend had needed to go to these Specialists sure he was almost paralyzed snorted entitled  father with a smirk no I don't buy it I think you just wanted to take advantage of us paying  and dec

ided to go to some Specialists because you think we can afford it guess what lady  that won't work I have x-rays and a doctor's note saying I should go to these Specialists said  friend's mom showing him the note and x-rays if you don't pay I will take you to court I'll press  charges against your son and have him go to juv friend told me that this was when entitled mom and  entitled father started taking his mom seriously shut up said entitled mom the money now said  friend's mom fine here's th

e money you jerk he pulled out his wallet and chucked $500 at friend's  mom he then continued yelling at them calling them stupid friend's mom took the money and walked  away ignoring them and that's the end entitled kid ended up not coming back to school after this  so I didn't see him or his parents again xbo boss called me to yell at me for not showing up to work  some backstory in general info I am female with a somewhat unique name yes this is important I  was 18 I'm 23 now when I got my fi

rst job at a Western Wear store and didn't even work there  for a full year we sold mainly cowboy boots and did some clothes and accessories that went along  with that General theme I loved working there and it was a pretty great first job there were two  locations one in my town and one in the next state I stayed at one location in my town and my  boss mostly stayed at the other location because she lived closer to it she also had an employee  who would go in between stores as the boss needed i

t at first I thought my boss was a really cool  lady however that opinion would soon change you see she wasn't good at running a business and  didn't want to keep paying the expensive rent for the building we were currently using so she  moved the store to an obscure location at the beginning of the summer she admitted that Summers  were the slowest season so in my opinion it was not smart to move locations then she would also  avoid regular customers when they would come in to talk to her about

their orders taking too long  to arrive I also heard she was a home wrecker and the guy whose marriage she ruined would come into  the store regularly needless to say she was a bad business lady who did whatever she wanted after  she moved the store we started losing business she started scheduling less of us having maybe  two employees working at once then she told me it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you looked for  another job I remember that word for word looking back I realized that was her

way of saying you  should probably find another job soon we weren't getting scheduled at all she was running the store  by herself and she kept saying maybe business will pick up next week and I'll need you then one  day my mom came home and asked if my boss had moved again I said I didn't know then asked why  she informed me that she drove by my work and it looked empty I told my friend and soon she drove  by and told me that it was inde indeed completely deserted I officially didn't have a job

anymore  thankfully I was working at a barn a few days a week so I had some kind of income I did find out  that this woman still had her other store open so I was a little salty now the real story I was  chilling at home a few months after I found out my boss had deserted us when I see that she is  calling me I thought it was weird and answered the call started off very friendly and cheerful  but then her jerk side came out the call went something like this me hello xboss hi op me yes  hi this

is your ex boss how are you I'm all right how are you I'm good look I'm calling because  Q the jerkness you cannot keep calling out of work like this me completely confused excuse me  what you keep calling out when you should be here working I have places I need to be an ex-coworker  cannot run the store alone me I have no idea what you're talking about oh you don't know what I'm  talking about said in a mocking tone no ma'am I haven't worked for you in months she silent for a  few seconds then

hangs up I sat there for a minute processing what had just happened I figured she  must have a worker at the other store with the same name as me and she just called the wrong  one but I have a very uncommon name so that is unlikely in my opinion and if it was a mistake why  not just own up to it and apologize but instead like a scared middle schooler she hang up it was  in this moment I lost what little respect I had left for her I wish there was a better way of  ending this but there isn't I n

ever heard from her again I have looked up her other store  and it turns out she eventually closed that one too and now she works at an airport that's  somewhat makes me happy part of me wants to open a store like hers and run it better than she did  we'll see landlord lost his business over a $300 security deposit I rented a little house from  a man who owned a painting business the power was off when we came to see the property but he  assured us everything worked even put it in the contract t

he place was dirty and poorly maintained  so we negotiated the security deposit down to $300 turned out the heat slair didn't work along with  the refrigerator and dishwasher I asked him to have someone look at them he cursed me up and down  he called and left threatening voicemails he would show up unannounced and let himself in on one of  the visits I showed him that the crawl space was flooded and was a breeding ground for thousands  if not millions of roaches and mosquitoes that would come u

p through the floor vins there was  absolutely no duck work even though he claimed the heat and air worked fine he accused me of  causing the flood myself even though I showed him the source was a pipe that had rusted through  he refused to address any problems and said if you don't like it then you can move you can't pay  for a bargain and expect to live in the rids this man was a terrible man in general once he hired  someone off Craigslist to cut down a tree in the rental property yard the ma

n worked literally all  day for the agreed $150 cut up and hauled off the tree he came back that evening just standing in  the yard I asked if I could help him he said he was waiting for the owner to get paid the owner  kept replying saying he was on the way but never showed up our neighbor told us he had punched  the previous renter in the face and refused to pay him for a day's work for his company he had  bragged about renting to illegal immigrants and not having to do anything because they w

ouldn't  Sue we had a newborn baby so we called his bluff and agreed to find a new place to live we left  the home in much better shape than we found it he said he would mail us the security deposit but  never did he dodged my phone calls until one day he called to say you aren't getting it back  you broke the contract when you left early so go forget yourself I was really upset because we  were new parents and had very little money that $300 was a big deal to us and a drop in the bucket  for th

is man he owned an upscale painting business and had 15 rental properties the next week I was  online leaving negative reviews for his business when I clicked a link and noticed his website's  domain had just lapsed I knew what I had to do I immediately bought it then created a homepage  with contact info for his biggest competitor I emailed him from his old domain asking him if  he wanted to buy the website for $320 the cost of the security deposit plus the price I paid for  the domain he was i

ate he started calling my work threatening to sue my employer he even contacted  my parents and threatened to sue them he left a bunch of threatening voicemails for me saying he  was going to beat me up and he knows where I live and he has my social security number I received  emails from several review sites asking if I was trying to update the contact info for the business  he must have used his old domains email as his contact email I didn't want to get in trouble for  impersonating his busin

ess so I did not respond the contact info was never changed I received a  few emails from potential clients I called him and told him about the painting job requests I  gave him the contact info for one of the clients to prove I wasn't just making it up I told him it  was the last time I was going to do that for him and suggested he buy the website back in order to  not miss out on any other jobs he told me he was taking me to court I told him I had recorded his  threatening phone calls and save

d all his texts and voicemails he said he was going to sue me for  illegally recording him not illegal in my state I said I look forward to seeing you in court when  I counter Sue and press charges for harassing me and I hung up he called back and yelled at me  for hanging up on him I said call me back when you can speak respectfully to me and hung up  again we repeated this about five times each time he was more Angry until the last time he  spoke respectfully and explained he hadn't got a sing

le job in months I suggested he focused  more on creating a website to find business he lost it and yelled at me again 6 months passed  and he still hadn't bought the website from me I get a call from him begging me to do the right  thing and give him the website back I told him the current price was $350 6 months later I get  another phone call I told him the current price is $380 eventually he texted me to say I went out  of business I hope you're happy I responded I hear having a website real

ly helps your business $380  and it's yours he told me what a terrible person I am and said karma's a jerk I responded maybe if  you stopped trying to rip people off your karma wouldn't be so bad this was the last time I ever  heard from him the major business listing sites confirmed his business did indeed close I renewed  The Domain for another 2 years just in case he was bluffing a few months later I drive by his office  to see if he was still there it was empty with a for rent sign posted I

never got that $300 back  and spent money on domain registrations but it was totally worth it why I helped him and not you  Karen this happened 2 weeks ago I live in England in a decent sized town Town cast we've got me  we've got Karen we've got the store manager and the location is sainsbury local a small version  of sainsbury supermarket in England the story so my dad had asked me to send off some important  mail and had asked me to go and do some shopping for some supplies for home I say oka

y grab the  car keys and head off to the post office after which I leave my car parked in the post office  parking whilst I walk over to the sainsbury local as it is only a 2 or 3 minute walk from  the post office reusable shopping bag in hand I was wearing a blue hoodie with a pair of dark  blue jeans a face mask and my everyday pair of gray shoes once I reached the Sainsbury's I was  told to wait a little bit by the security guard to allow for some people to leave from the small  shop in order

to maintain distancing after a short wait I was let in I go to the fruit and vegetables  where I begin to pick up the items I've been asked to pick up following this I move over to the  milk section where I accidentally knock over a stack of chocolate Claire's I begin picking them  up as it was my fault and I'm not a monster to let the staff of the store pick the items up when  it's clearly my fault they have better things to do than to pick up things knocked over by the  public I just want to

take this moment to say thank you to all the Frontline workers and all  the effort they're putting in to help us all I finish putting the items back where they belong  and proceed to the Frozen good section which is where I hear an excuse me I turn around to see an  elderly gentleman and his wife who politely asked me where the cereal was I told him where it was as  I'm quite familiar with this store and have been most of my life I said please follow me as I'm  also going to the same aisle to pi

ck up cereal for myself they thanked me and I moved on to some  of the other items on my list such as bread so in the bakery section I was pondering which bread my  dad wanted which is when I hear the dreaded throat clear my original thought process was that I was  in the way so I moved out of the way I thought that was it and I was about to move onto another  aisle when I hear another throat clear this time I turn around to an old middle-aged lady who was  glaring daggers at me this is the conv

ersation that occurred me can I help you miss Karen I have  been waiting for you for a while now who the heck do you think you are to ignore me do you know who  I am me I'm sorry about that I was not ignoring you I simply did not realize you were there I I  was cut off so you admit you were ignoring me no ma'am I was not she cuts me off again I don't  care care anyways go grab me some oatmeal you lazy good for nothing me realizing that she  thinks I work there oh no ma'am I do not work here see

my uniform is completely different from  theirs sainsbury had a maroon color jacket with a maroon top and bottom with orange lines on their  seams with their name on a company logo badge on the top Karen BS I saw you helping that elderly  couple and then you were stalking the shelves just before that you definitely work here so get off  your phone and go get my OD me meal me I was just putting those items back as I had accidentally  knocked them over and as for the couple they asked me politely

and did not know what went where  admittedly I was starting to get upset now due to the way this lady was shouting constantly Karen  after using some colorful language finishing off with this gem you useless jerk you should be happy  to get to work in these times get me your manager now I'm going to get you fired at this stage  because she was shouting so loudly and it was a rather smallish store both the security guard  and the manager walked over manager what seems to be the issue ma'am Karen

I want this useless  good for nothing fired he was messing around on his phone whilst working and not helping me she  said this while smirking at me with the face as if saying I've got you now manager takes a quick  look at me firstly Miss please calm down secondly this individual clearly does not work for us  we have the uniform I mentioned before but he is wearing a blue hoodie that's clearly not part  of the attire he is clearly a customer here can you kindly leave him alone and proceed with

the  rest of your shopping at this stage my anger was starting to dissipate but you could clearly see  in the manager's face that he was starting to get annoyed at this lady manager can you refrain from  such language in the store please if you continue this language I'm going to have to ask you to  leave Karen why do I have to leave he pointing at me is the one who didn't want to help me and now  you are defending him more strong words were used towards me manager is now upset man please procee

d  to check out with all your items and leave I can't have you talking to our customers like this if  you do not comply I will have you removed by the security guard Karen forget you and the store I'm  leaving I'm never coming back forget all of you she throws the basket with all the items on the  floor and proceeds to leave escorted out by the security guard manager are you okay he knows  me as I frequented this store so much me yeah I'm good thanks for sticking up for me that lady  has a few s

crews loose manager chuckling yeah she does this is when we hear a very loud scream of  what the heck from outside the store me manager and some employees go over to the source and see  Karen's car being ticketed as she had parked in a handicapped parking Zone she was holding  a yellow bag in her hand this was a parking ticket apparently during the time the lady was in  the store a police officer had come over to grab some items and had seen her parking and ticketed  her according to the elderly

man who I had helped earlier he said he had apparently seen the whole  ordeal go down the person who had ticketed her the elderly gentleman's son who was waiting in his car  outside elderly gentleman chuckling guess karma's a jerk huh young lad elderly lady don't use such  language Jim hope you're all right though young lad we asked my son for a favor as he was nearby  and as you had helped us earlier then you got treated so horribly by that woman good ridd some  people these days me a bit surp
