The coffee incident was too familiar to me! LOL I posted this on another comment section, but, I'll share it here, too. When I was pregnant with my first child, I did the bookkeeping for my father's paint store. I got HUGE with my babies as I don't have much room to carry them. I am small built. I needed something I could do that wouldn't be very taxing. Especially, at 6 months along! One day, a man came in while my dad was helping a customer. I said hello to him as I thought I should, at least, acknowledge him. He indicated he was waiting for my dad, so, I went back to my books. Dad got done with the customer and came back to where the man was standing, near the back door where the desks were located. Dad obviously knew the man and greeted him warmly. The man says, "If you'll have your secretary, there, make a pot of coffee, I can visit for a bit." I turned and just glared at my dad! Dad just went over and started making the jerk a pot of coffee and I returned, once again, to my books. He turned out to be a salesman my dad had been dealing with for years. I don't care. One, I'm miserably pregnant! Two, WTF? If he wants a cup of coffee, he can damned sure make it himself! I am not his mommy! LOL Thank you!
So in the first story, Op seems embarrassed that she used the 'daddy's little girl' card.....if there was *ever* a correct time to use it, it was then. She did the right thing in my opinion.
I've heard the story before but it bears repeating. :) There's an old saying which goes: "Be careful of whose toes you step on on your way up, because they just might be connected to the legs which support the asses you'll have to kiss on your way back down."
Diane Ericson perhaps she just wanted to wait quietly by herself in anonymity. That is her right. It is not her fault that someone chose to treat her poorly.
And the worst part is knowing those kind of people, Chad and Walt will never learn and blame losing their job on "daddy's little princess" and try to smear their old employers.
I always love hearing the CEO's daughter story always cracks me up. For the lady locked out of her room I would say she should use/build a Time Machine or a Teleporter/Transporter.
Last one good for him and boy karma certainly got the jerk in the end. Hope it enjoyed it very expensive fish . Probably choked at the price it eventual cost it With custom and storage charges on top of the price of the fish . Serves it right for being such a nasty b***h
Why is it considered spoiled for women to call their fathers "daddy"? I call my parents "mommy" and "daddy" even though I'm almost 30. Though, it may be because of health scares that had my siblings and I thinking we were gonna lose them and I reverted to a scared little girl but even then, who cares?
My uncle owned a car dealership but let the manager run it. One day, uncle showed up at the lot in a beat up van, wearing sweatpants. He was just looking everything over, but he noticed none of the sales staff cam out to greet him. Walked into the office and fired the two salesmen that were supposed to be on the lot. Just because someone is dressed down doesn't mean they aren't worth your time.
My dad had a friend who had something similar happen, he went to a dealership to buy a crossover for his wife. He was dressed down and was dirty since he just came from the diesel repair shop he owns and operates. His wife had already test drove a vehicle earlier and had picked one out of this dealer's on hand stick for her husband to purchase. He went there to haggle a bit and then buy the vehicle. He hung around the lot for 20 min. waiting for service and no one came out even though he could see he had been spotted by the salesmen. He went inside and the sales staff were standing around talking. Long tirade short, he produced from his pocket a large wad of cash, stating since they didn't want it he would be more than happy to give it to their competition. My dad has told me this story many times to emphasize not judging people by their outward appearances.
@@soccerguy354 So while the moral to that story is in fact a good lesson to learn. People like your dad's friend clearly missed another fundamental lesson to life: Treat others as you wish to be treated. I know this is going to sound weird AF because the implication is that everyone should treat everyone kindly no matter what, but life is more complicated than black and white so bare with me. If you go out in public filthy and expect to be treated with dignity, you are the only one at fault. Judgment is a natural part of life, and if you ignore that fact and EXPECT others to treat you like everyone else when you are a clear exception to their social expectations.... Is it really someone else's fault that you looked like you belonged at home taking a shower before you force another person to interact with you? But because going to a place of business is in fact forcing interaction, its even different than being in public. You as a human being are forced to meet your own standard for the Golden Rule: would you enjoy being forced to work with a client who was filthy and didn't have enough decency to respect you enough to be presentable when they fully intended to be meeting with you? And further more, expecting your clients to have enough decency to be bathed before coming into your place of business isn't really asking much (for a car dealership, there are obvious exceptions and a wide variety) I have nothing against people who work in professions that get dirty, I did that most of my life. But other than getting food, I NEVER showed up to places of business until I had taken a shower. Basic rules of decency and self respect.
@Craig G Having worked at Home Depot, I can tell you that had nothing to do with how they were dressed. Did your sister and her husband actually try to talk to the sales ppl in that department or did they just stand there awkwardly expecting the sales ppl to walk over and help them? Hippie style these days is generally worn by ppl with money as it's back in style and this is especially the case at Home Depot. So it was most likely a case of lazy employees that didn't want to bother or that they got called away to help with something (like loading something large). Or maybe even went on break/off the clock. There's generally two main clothing styles - practical work clothes that are usually grubby and dirty and worn by contractors and ppl that know what they're doing/where they're going and non-practical clothing which is generally worn by ppl that either want to be waited on hand and foot and don't know what they're doing or they do know what they're doing and don't want to be bothered unless they need assistance with a specific thing (such as getting lumber cut or something large being loaded and purchased).
@@15thobserver ...You make a good point. Often I get filthy at work but try to keep a clean shirt if I have to stop somewhere on the way home. When I see somebody wearing a dirty t-shirt in some retail place, I don't think they are poor but I think they are too lazy to bring an extra shirt with them.
@@15thobserver Very interesting point of view. In many ways I agree but I have found salespeople tend to lump anyone in jeans and a casual work shirt as beneath them. Not always but many of the new ones. A few years back I wore jeans and a flannel shirt into a car dealership along with my wife who was dressed very nice. In a 30 minute period we had three different salesmen but only one had an excuse to leave, he had informed us when we first met that he had an appointment. We looked at some of their used vehicles and at some new ones but my wife (the new vehicle was for her) wanted to look at a new Lincoln Navigator. Not one of the salesmen even tried to show us one. We left the store, but I stopped and told the manager we were leaving and would not be back and our reasons why. So far, I've only been on the lot one time in the six years since.
Saw one of these some time ago. Guy went in for an interview with one of those high flying fancy lawyers. He walked into the office and loudly told the young woman sitting at the desk to go and get him some coffee. She did so without a murmur. When she came back, she politely informed him that her rate as a laywer was £600 an hour and that coffee had cost him £200. He paid up...
I've got a little tale, about people at stores making assumptions based on how one looks. One time, at my lunch, I went to the New Balance store in downtown Seattle. I was extremely casual -- my office job didn't require dressing up because we never saw our "clients" in person. I was wearing jeans and a hoody, and sneakers. Right behind me, entering the store, was a nicely-dressed couple. The store person went to them first, disregarding the fact that I was there first. As he was doing this, I was browsing at their women's sneakers. After he was done with them, he approached me. I told him I have an unusual shoe size, 12 wide in women's, and asked what he had in that size. He was like, "Well, mens sneakers...." he started and I cut him off before he could start. "An orthopaedic surgeon told me that there's definitely a difference in mens & womens shoes and that I really should get womens NB walking shoes." He started again, saying, "Well, there's not much difference, we really don't....." Now, him contradicting an actual MD, on top of helping the couple who came in after me, was too much. I cut him off again. "You know what? I'm gonna go to Nordstrom's, where I know I can get good customer service." and walked out. Nordy's (as we call it in Seattle, their HQ) knows customer service. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes with a new pair of sneakers, during a very busy lunchtime crunch. I'd told the guy that I made the mistake of going somewhere else (I've bought big shoes at N's for decades) and would never do it again, lol. Kinda sorta a plug for Nordstrom's, because they really are awesome. They started as a shoe store many, many years ago and still pride themselves on having excellent customer service there and all over the store. No matter how slobby I look going in there, they always treat me with respect and kindness. Having done (phone) customer service a lot in my adult life, I appreciate when others are good to me. I've gone to their C/S desk a few times to give props to salespeople on the floor. Always nice to get compliments, not always complaints.
Thank you for reading the story about the lazy contractor rudely insisting that the CEO’s daughter had to make him coffee. I have heard it several times, and I think this is my favorite one! The other 2 stories are good too!
and then the threatening of a potential boyfriend loosing his job cuz the 'girlfriend that does not work there did not want to make coffee for a person she is not paid for, to do so'...... that's Sooooo American. that thing wouldn't hold water here in Denmark.
@@kinagrill That wouldn't even fly in most American companies. If I had a boyfriend who say worked for McDonald's and I was there say to pick him up I am no obligated to get someone a coke or take their order. Looks in the first story someone was on the power trip.
@@katefresina832 It'd be more like them asking you to get them some straws or a few salt packages, but I know what you mean. The mere concept that you'd treat a potential interviewee like that, expecting them to ingratiate yourself with some assholes BEFORE YOU'RE EVEN HIRED OR HAVE EVEN BEEN INTERVIEWED. Seriously, the fact there's some people with that level of ego is just amazing to me. Here in Denmark we got a cuturally understood concept called 'Janteloven' (or The Jante Law). It's not a literal LAW, but it's a concept of understanding that you're not better than anyone else. Congratz that you make 2 million dollars a month, keep it to yourself cuz the rest of us really don't care about your ego. It's meant to instill a feeling that no matter if you're a store-worker, a bank manager, a million-dollar company CEO or the State Minister of Denmark - we are all equal as people, so if you think overwise then you're the odd-one-out that everyone things is a massive moron for believing you're better than the rest of us cuz you have this or that education, a massive mansion for a house and got a private airplane with an income around 500 million dollars each month. I like that very much cuz we have no real mega-feminazis here, BLM movements gone nutty, or asshole people thinking they are soooo important cuz they might be a contractor for a big company.
I've been in business for almost 50 years. Those type of arrogant power hungry people seem to permeate the entire business world. They are absolutely useless. I must say though oh, that this type of story was perfectly delivered with the right impetus to be both on point and humorous. Is though a person was a fly-on-the-wall watching it all unfold!
In the second story it was obvious why the Karen was locked out of her hotel room - the person inside had had enough of her shit and didn't want her coming back in!
If you work someplace that has coffee why on Earth would you ask or rather demand someone make it for you ??? Simply say nothing go to the coffee machine and make it By Yourself!😁 Smile at the people in the room, and leave. It's not that hard to do.👍
It happened once to my assistant. The woman was livid that assistant didn’t hang up the phone to make coffee. Cue me walking up with a coffee for me and one for my assistant (we always just grab two whenever one of us goes). She tried to take my assistants... I didn’t even bother doing the interview.
@@nephtys369 Making coffee shouldn't be "someone's job" unless it's shared responsibility. I believe you did the right thing by sharing the coffee "duty". The entitled person probably would not have worked out well; people who expect others to jump to their bidding are not usually nice to work with. I suspect you are very happy you didn't interview the person who was rude.
@@laurak9666 That is very common in Japan where new / junior workers usually are demanded making coffee, tee for other people in the room, if junior worker refuses he / she will be considered anti-social.
Right!?!?! He wanted a black coffee, it's not like he wanted an Americano w/ 2 shots of espresso easy cream... 7-11 even makes you get your own coffee!
My dad owns his own business as well, and if the situation that happened in the first story happened to me if I went to visit him at his office, I can confirm that neither would live to see another day. Dad takes no bs from anyone harassing his daughters.
Those guys were a lawsuit waiting to happen “Work for us for free or we will fire your boyfriend” Also, the second guy believed the first no questions asked, then acted like it was business as usual to fire people for stuff like that. Wouldn’t be surprised if the words wrongful dismissal came up in a court case for him some time
The first one is always nice to hear again since it is a really good one. I enjoyed the last one quite a bit since I have never heard that one before on any channel. The wife was horrible. I do not know how OP managed to hold onto his temper for so long. I guess he is a real adult. Unlike the wife (customer) who is an oversized brat (at her age!) and enjoys belittling people. I wish I knew if she became an ex customer (got banned later?). Why did the customers show up to pick up their order at the loading docks if they had not been notified that the order had arrived from being shipped? (It was being held by customs.) My husband had some wine he ordered from France that was held up by customs. Companies always let customers know status nowadays via emails. That way they are not harassed by customers badgering them with "where's my order?" Or "when is my order going to be delivered?"
1st story shows that some men, not all men, still believe that any woman should cater to them. Even if she worked there or was waiting for her bf, she’s not obligated to make anything for anyone!
Doesn't matter if the girl was the gf of a new guy. Guy can't be fired because his gf (who doesn't work for the company) won't make coffee for some a**hole.
@@michaelmayfield4304 While I expect that's true, I'd also expect that if it was taken to court, the judge would be saying something to the effect of "your GF refused to serve coffee to someone because it's not her job, and only a few days later you're fired without a reason given? Yeah... I don't think that's a coincidence. I think I'm going to need to look more closely at this case." A wrongful dismissal case under those circumstances might still be a hard sell, but it would certainly make the employer perspire freely for a while and it might even succeed, depending on just how stupid the employer was in giving evidence and on how diligent the plantiff was in presenting his case.
Finally. Thank you. I'm not a native English speaker and i was trying to say the same thing. Indeed, for me that was the main reason to fire that moron, even over the fact he was harrasing the ceo's daughter
@@michaelmayfield4304 Michael Mayfield Yeah but if you can prove that it was based on prohibited discrimination it's a violation of federal law. It was it's not the case that because employees are at will employees that supervisors can discriminate on the basis of orientation or gender or race. They can name another reason but they're not going to automatically be believed, especially when these men are outright saying these things. The receptionist would not likely lie for them. And their behavior was really so terrible, I mean really nasty, that I find it unlikely they haven't been awful to the women in support staff roles in their offices.
Because of course every employee's girlfriend must serve coffee at work unless they want them fired. It's got to be in the employee handbook somewhere.
"Looks at me like a 3 year old trying to put the star shape in the circle hope but doesn't know why it doesn't fit" "Looks at me again with the look people have trying to put a puzzle together that is all one colour" Nice quotes 👌
And the Chad of the story forgot something very important. When you're trying to convince someone to b buy something from you, being a D won't help the sale!
What happened to getting ones own coffee. Even a secretary probably doesn't have "get the boss coffee" written in their job description, yet stereo-typically they are expected to do so. Unless someone is going for coffee anyway they shouldn't have to do that.
"Hotel"/motel patron should have called after the locked-out lady as she walked away, " Don't go away mad just because you don't know where the ice machine is either. "
I was an Officer of the Crown, employed by the Parliament and the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, attached to the Australian Department of Defence, embedded into the Australian Military, chiefly although not exclusively the Australian Army, where as a Special Placement Officer, with a Roving Assignment and operating under The Defence Special Undertakings Act 1952, I specialised in Military Planning, Operational Logistics and certain other unspecified Clandestine Activities, the nature of which must remain Classified in the Interest of Australian National Security. And in My present assignment I had just got a new Boss. And having just walked in the door, with another Gentleman whom I did not know, did the briefest of Introductions and told Me to make them Two Cups of Coffee. Well Coffee making is not listed anywhere on My Duty Statement, so a Lesson on such was now in order. So I made Myself a beautiful Cup of Tea and Two of the worst Cups of Coffee in Living History. I apologised when Serving them, saying that I was a Tea Drinker and Coffee was something with which I was not too familiar. Needless to say, neither of them drank their Coffee. Then the Colonel dropped by and Invited My new Bass into his office for a chat. Apparently at some point in that chat, the Colonel (probably having seen the Two Cups of Coffee sitting untouched upon the Desk) must have Warned My new Boss about My not being a Lacky and not trying to get Me to do trivial things like Make Coffee. When My new Boss came back into the Office he actually Apologised to Me for having told Me to make Coffee and that in the future he’d make his own. Lesson Learnt.
My IDWH experiences never get that interesting. I'm armed delivery, so usually the gun/body armor are enough to make people realize who I am. But every once in awhile I'll be behind the counter at a business and here the "Excuse me!", I'll turn around and they'll say "Oh you can't help me..." I do get mistaken for police sometimes though
Oh those guys really deserved that. They weren't just rude. They were absolutely vile. "A young woman? She must be here to serve all of us big important males! Oh. She doesn't work here? She should serve us anyway and be pleasant while we call her sexist slurs because her boyfriend certainly works here. She has to do what say anyway, for free, with a smile on her face! We will fire her boyfriend if she doesn't learn her place. How dare a strange woman in our waiting room not serve us?"
@@LadanBeton you like Tim Pool, don't you? 😊 I do. I don't know I used to think a lot more of these things were fake. I didn't think people would behave like characters in a really bad story. By "bad" I mean "people don't really act like that, most of us are just trying to get through our day, so this isn't remotely believable" so that the story isn't compelling. Then for the 1st time in my not m-short-so-far life (knock on wood) I happen to be unfortunate enough to have a new boss come on who is really awful. It's a long story, but the behavior is so off the hook, and that insane, abusive behavior is only directed toward certain people so that only some people see it. I had to delete some examples I initially was going to include because I don't want to say anything that could identify that person, as remote a chance as it seems. It is really really bad, and the behavior and the individual incidents are so just crazy-unbelievable. You just would never believe someone would do these things. But they absolutely have, and after working with someone like this, that's a real live person, when I never ever thought people would really behave that way has opened my eyes. It's (in my opinion fwiw) illegal in some cases. But after this I know people do really horrible things and even a group of if them will if they all get on the same wavelength and create the adult equivalent of high school clique. I know better than to go into detail with most people about what happens not only because it's a complicated and long story but also because it's really extreme and doesn't make sense. But even so I know now that these people are out there and a lot of times they look like a really professional really polished people. So although I hear what you're saying and I understand why you would think that I don't really think this is fake. I think the wording might be tuned up a bit but I think overall it's true. Which is OK we don't have to agree and I think your opinion and thoughts on it are every bit as valid. They are just opinions and neither of us really know. 😊
@@jenrabbit4444 First of all, I respect you considering the issue so deeply so I am going to put in as much thought in my own reply. I know people can be really awful and I've seen them be much worse than in the story - i think we all have. So I'm fully onboard in that area. I just don't see anybody, sexist or not, coming in an telling a strange girl, who is wearing casual clothing and sitting in a reception area "Hey, you, make me a coffee, I'll take it black!" Wouldn't his first instict be - I have no idea who she is and no reason to assume she works here? Then the guy, who is supposed to be a contractor - as in has no formal power in the company - plays out the "Do you know who I am" cliche and threatens to get her fired. That is laying it on a bit thick, especially when you follow it up with "rant rant rant some slurs here and there." What slurs can you even use in that situation? The b-word? maybe calling her a chick if that counts but anything else within another woman's hearing would be career-ending in this day and age and most people are fully aware of that. Then the receptionist keeps quiet instead of telling them she is not working there (being cut off... fine, maybe we can let that one slide.) But of course, what a twist for them, the OP just happens to be the king's daughter. "Walt, C, my office now?" is another cliche that I don't see people actually saying it IRL. And then the contractor lost the contract over this. Weren't we just told he was very important, both by him and the other guy? And Walt eventually losing his job, presumably because his boss disliked him so much over this incident. And the OP lived happily ever after. I'm willing to swallow one or two convinient details in these posts and still believe them. But this just has telltell signs of someone's fantasy that I already mentioned before. That's why my money is on this being a somewhat lazy-written short story rather than something that actually happened.
I've watched a lot of these stories and it's amazing how many people lose their jobs or get in trouble over a cup of coffee. It's really hard to imagine that there are that many rude people in this world. I guess I don't get out enough to see stuff like this.
Poster of #1 , you ARE NOT "ENTITLED AND displayed an INCREDIBLE POISE AND BALNCE for a person your age, you SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!( Personal note, i double dog dare anybody to "call" her on/ beliving she "played the daddy card!!!) WELL DONE young lady!!!!!!
Wow the arrogance of chad and Walt. That’s insane especially when you have a contract with a company that’s when you need to be in your BEST behavior cause you can lose that contract in a second due to that much arrogance and entitlement. I will never understand why people can’t lose their attitude and arrogance and entitlement when they have no reason to be like that.
I briefly worked in a business environment, You want to know why some people in business don't treat stranger with respect? It's simple. It's the zero-sum game view of life. If you can harm someone else, then they are a loser, and that makes you a winner. You should know that. If you live in the US, that summarizes the total life view of a prominent politician, as well as his political party. Harm others as much as you can, and you win.
That's the moment you walk over, pour 2 small cups of coffee, hand it to each of the "gentlemen" and let them know they're going to need this and have a great day.
My response to that would be to tell him to F off or a punch to the face if he pushes it. Nothing gave that guy the right to be that much of a stuck up asshole
Picture it - It's the late 1980's and I was technically the SR accountant and I was also growing into a system's analyst. My boos, the accounting manager, was talking to the new IT manager in his office and I was invited in. I had barely entered it when the new IT guy asked me for a cup of coffee. I looked him in eye and told him he just walked past it and pointed to where it was. After that, we worked together and got along great. Years later I was told I was one of the few people who got along with him.
I can just imagine the conversation between CEO and Chad CEO: Pack up your gear, Load your equipment and gather your crew. You have until the end of that day to get off the site. Chad: But we have a contract. CEO: *Boot up Chad's butt*
It is actually interesting why someone would bully a girl over a cup of coffee. Didn't even start with "do you work here" or whether that work included making coffee. At first I just agreed with the statement that we should we nice to everybody, which I certainly do my best to be... but then I realized something. Be nice and you might get friends, but be a bully and you might go all the way to the top. Sadly, that often works. "Nice guys are fine: you have to have somebody to take advantage of... but they always finish last." (Payback) Maybe that's why that bully needed to prove something for a cup of coffee, showing superiority. But it sure it nice when it backfires.
Mrs. Locked Out wouldn't DARE try digging a tunnel... Not only would she get dirt and crud on her hands, face and clothes but Horror of Horrors, she might break a nail...
1st Story. Even if the person worked there, why demand to them to get you a coffee and a person there for an interview defiantly shouldn't be bossed around and getting coffee. What kind of impression does that give about the company.
You should watch the vid with the ants crawling on the tree in the background. They are going to be in my dreams! No, nothing against ants; just moving black specs on white birch-like bark...
this first story is the perfect example of someone's actions being used against them but the actions of another person being used against someone else such as if this girl was waiting for her boyfriend. her actions in not making coffee and being "rude" to people can NEVER be used against the person who works there. doing so can actually get the company in a lot of legal trouble.
Axtually...no it cant get them in legal trpuble....in most states you can be fired for something your spouse or SO does because most states are at will work laws, meaning as long as you arent fired for a protected reason like race or sex then your job can fire you for whatever reason unless there is a contract stating otherwise. www.google.com/amp/s/www.employmentlawyernewyork.com/news/latest/can-you-be-fired-for-something-your-spouse-does.html%3fformat=amp
Good thing the two guys from the first story are gone because they’re a giant liability. No, you cannot fire someone because their girlfriend who doesn’t work their didn’t make you a coffee. Have fun explaining it in court.
I just got back from Williams 😂, if anyone trying to get a good picture, you have this main strip and on the Right side or left depending on which side you’re on is 8 motels manly single story , along with some shopping places and restaurants a cool trading post with a lot of cool old cars and stuff and a old guy useally outside playing the guitar and singing and one classic looking Dairy Queen oh and a lot of ravens, there’s more stuff here and there but I was manly at the Grand Canyon and on a time schedule so I never got to explore the town for that long.
I never mind being confused for an employee if people are nice. Even if I don't work there and I can help reach something or tell them where it might be, I like to help. The way some of these entitled people treat them is the part that bothers me. Even if I did work there, I would not tolerate being treated that way.
Be as it may, the guys were jerks. But I put it all on the girl. Why in the hell did she not tell the receptionist that she was waiting for her dad and mention the name ? Is not that the normal thing to do ?
Story 1 - that whole story just shows why you should never get a case of “diarrhea of the mouth” when you don’t know who you’re talking with, because it is not going to end well and it will also end up biting you in the ass
dig a tunnel? i think its better to just grab a minigun and spray the door with bullets, thatll work better. or even better, just grab a tank at your local DMV and touch the door, itll come right off!
Walt i believe it was? I dont really think he was being that rude i think he was just trying to help her and telling her with a bit of an axaderation so she knew it was a big deal i could be wrong and all just my thoughts and i know a certain word is wring im on mobile and young dont realkymvare enough to fix it
Im new here just subscribed I've been listening to these stories and and they are making me laugh. I always love it when the rude people realise that they r talking to the wrong people half of the time 🤣🤣
The coffee incident was too familiar to me! LOL
I posted this on another comment section, but, I'll share it here, too.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I did the bookkeeping for my father's paint store. I got HUGE with my babies as I don't have much room to carry them. I am small built. I needed something I could do that wouldn't be very taxing. Especially, at 6 months along!
One day, a man came in while my dad was helping a customer. I said hello to him as I thought I should, at least, acknowledge him. He indicated he was waiting for my dad, so, I went back to my books.
Dad got done with the customer and came back to where the man was standing, near the back door where the desks were located. Dad obviously knew the man and greeted him warmly.
The man says, "If you'll have your secretary, there, make a pot of coffee, I can visit for a bit."
I turned and just glared at my dad! Dad just went over and started making the jerk a pot of coffee and I returned, once again, to my books.
He turned out to be a salesman my dad had been dealing with for years. I don't care. One, I'm miserably pregnant! Two, WTF? If he wants a cup of coffee, he can damned sure make it himself! I am not his mommy! LOL
Thank you!
Just pour the pot over his head next time. That will teach him :)
So in the first story, Op seems embarrassed that she used the 'daddy's little girl' card.....if there was *ever* a correct time to use it, it was then. She did the right thing in my opinion.
I've heard the story before but it bears repeating. :)
There's an old saying which goes: "Be careful of whose toes you step on on your way up, because they just might be connected to the legs which support the asses you'll have to kiss on your way back down."
@@melkiorwiseman5234 never heard of that saying but how apt a saying it is
it wasn't so much daddy's little girl so much as 'don't fuck with the boss's family'
@@dianeericson7900 So, someone else who wasn't CEO's daughter could be treated like that? Without any revenge card?😶
What a logic.
Diane Ericson perhaps she just wanted to wait quietly by herself in anonymity. That is her right. It is not her fault that someone chose to treat her poorly.
The one time I fully agree with the "daddy" routine. Good job
'tis a power finally used for good
And the worst part is knowing those kind of people, Chad and Walt will never learn and blame losing their job on "daddy's little princess" and try to smear their old employers.
Chads type probably feels that anyone younger than him should make someone as important as him coffee regardless.
This is why you should never assume anything that might bet your butt fired.
I always love hearing the CEO's daughter story always cracks me up. For the lady locked out of her room I would say she should use/build a Time Machine or a Teleporter/Transporter.
rocks work well, too
Last one good for him and boy karma certainly got the jerk in the end. Hope it enjoyed it very expensive fish . Probably choked at the price it eventual cost it With custom and storage charges on top of the price of the fish . Serves it right for being such a nasty b***h
This is perfect example of why you should always be polite to people you meet, and wait till you get attitude before you give it.
Why is it considered spoiled for women to call their fathers "daddy"? I call my parents "mommy" and "daddy" even though I'm almost 30. Though, it may be because of health scares that had my siblings and I thinking we were gonna lose them and I reverted to a scared little girl but even then, who cares?
My uncle owned a car dealership but let the manager run it. One day, uncle showed up at the lot in a beat up van, wearing sweatpants. He was just looking everything over, but he noticed none of the sales staff cam out to greet him. Walked into the office and fired the two salesmen that were supposed to be on the lot. Just because someone is dressed down doesn't mean they aren't worth your time.
My dad had a friend who had something similar happen, he went to a dealership to buy a crossover for his wife. He was dressed down and was dirty since he just came from the diesel repair shop he owns and operates. His wife had already test drove a vehicle earlier and had picked one out of this dealer's on hand stick for her husband to purchase. He went there to haggle a bit and then buy the vehicle. He hung around the lot for 20 min. waiting for service and no one came out even though he could see he had been spotted by the salesmen. He went inside and the sales staff were standing around talking. Long tirade short, he produced from his pocket a large wad of cash, stating since they didn't want it he would be more than happy to give it to their competition. My dad has told me this story many times to emphasize not judging people by their outward appearances.
@@soccerguy354 So while the moral to that story is in fact a good lesson to learn. People like your dad's friend clearly missed another fundamental lesson to life: Treat others as you wish to be treated. I know this is going to sound weird AF because the implication is that everyone should treat everyone kindly no matter what, but life is more complicated than black and white so bare with me. If you go out in public filthy and expect to be treated with dignity, you are the only one at fault. Judgment is a natural part of life, and if you ignore that fact and EXPECT others to treat you like everyone else when you are a clear exception to their social expectations.... Is it really someone else's fault that you looked like you belonged at home taking a shower before you force another person to interact with you? But because going to a place of business is in fact forcing interaction, its even different than being in public. You as a human being are forced to meet your own standard for the Golden Rule: would you enjoy being forced to work with a client who was filthy and didn't have enough decency to respect you enough to be presentable when they fully intended to be meeting with you? And further more, expecting your clients to have enough decency to be bathed before coming into your place of business isn't really asking much (for a car dealership, there are obvious exceptions and a wide variety)
I have nothing against people who work in professions that get dirty, I did that most of my life. But other than getting food, I NEVER showed up to places of business until I had taken a shower. Basic rules of decency and self respect.
@Craig G Having worked at Home Depot, I can tell you that had nothing to do with how they were dressed. Did your sister and her husband actually try to talk to the sales ppl in that department or did they just stand there awkwardly expecting the sales ppl to walk over and help them? Hippie style these days is generally worn by ppl with money as it's back in style and this is especially the case at Home Depot. So it was most likely a case of lazy employees that didn't want to bother or that they got called away to help with something (like loading something large). Or maybe even went on break/off the clock.
There's generally two main clothing styles - practical work clothes that are usually grubby and dirty and worn by contractors and ppl that know what they're doing/where they're going and non-practical clothing which is generally worn by ppl that either want to be waited on hand and foot and don't know what they're doing or they do know what they're doing and don't want to be bothered unless they need assistance with a specific thing (such as getting lumber cut or something large being loaded and purchased).
@@15thobserver ...You make a good point. Often I get filthy at work but try to keep a clean shirt if I have to stop somewhere on the way home. When I see somebody wearing a dirty t-shirt in some retail place, I don't think they are poor but I think they are too lazy to bring an extra shirt with them.
@@15thobserver Very interesting point of view. In many ways I agree but I have found salespeople tend to lump anyone in jeans and a casual work shirt as beneath them. Not always but many of the new ones. A few years back I wore jeans and a flannel shirt into a car dealership along with my wife who was dressed very nice. In a 30 minute period we had three different salesmen but only one had an excuse to leave, he had informed us when we first met that he had an appointment.
We looked at some of their used vehicles and at some new ones but my wife (the new vehicle was for her) wanted to look at a new Lincoln Navigator. Not one of the salesmen even tried to show us one. We left the store, but I stopped and told the manager we were leaving and would not be back and our reasons why. So far, I've only been on the lot one time in the six years since.
Saw one of these some time ago. Guy went in for an interview with one of those high flying fancy lawyers. He walked into the office and loudly told the young woman sitting at the desk to go and get him some coffee. She did so without a murmur. When she came back, she politely informed him that her rate as a laywer was £600 an hour and that coffee had cost him £200. He paid up...
Billable time.
I've got a little tale, about people at stores making assumptions based on how one looks.
One time, at my lunch, I went to the New Balance store in downtown Seattle. I was extremely casual -- my office job didn't require dressing up because we never saw our "clients" in person. I was wearing jeans and a hoody, and sneakers. Right behind me, entering the store, was a nicely-dressed couple. The store person went to them first, disregarding the fact that I was there first.
As he was doing this, I was browsing at their women's sneakers. After he was done with them, he approached me. I told him I have an unusual shoe size, 12 wide in women's, and asked what he had in that size.
He was like, "Well, mens sneakers...." he started and I cut him off before he could start. "An orthopaedic surgeon told me that there's definitely a difference in mens & womens shoes and that I really should get womens NB walking shoes." He started again, saying, "Well, there's not much difference, we really don't....."
Now, him contradicting an actual MD, on top of helping the couple who came in after me, was too much. I cut him off again. "You know what? I'm gonna go to Nordstrom's, where I know I can get good customer service." and walked out.
Nordy's (as we call it in Seattle, their HQ) knows customer service. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes with a new pair of sneakers, during a very busy lunchtime crunch. I'd told the guy that I made the mistake of going somewhere else (I've bought big shoes at N's for decades) and would never do it again, lol.
Kinda sorta a plug for Nordstrom's, because they really are awesome. They started as a shoe store many, many years ago and still pride themselves on having excellent customer service there and all over the store. No matter how slobby I look going in there, they always treat me with respect and kindness. Having done (phone) customer service a lot in my adult life, I appreciate when others are good to me. I've gone to their C/S desk a few times to give props to salespeople on the floor. Always nice to get compliments, not always complaints.
Thank you for reading the story about the lazy contractor rudely insisting that the CEO’s daughter had to make him coffee. I have heard it several times, and I think this is my favorite one!
The other 2 stories are good too!
and then the threatening of a potential boyfriend loosing his job cuz the 'girlfriend that does not work there did not want to make coffee for a person she is not paid for, to do so'...... that's Sooooo American. that thing wouldn't hold water here in Denmark.
@@kinagrill That wouldn't even fly in most American companies. If I had a boyfriend who say worked for McDonald's and I was there say to pick him up I am no obligated to get someone a coke or take their order. Looks in the first story someone was on the power trip.
@@kinagrill doesn't hold water on the States either. That would be grounds for a lawsuit for inappropriate dismissal.
@@katefresina832 It'd be more like them asking you to get them some straws or a few salt packages, but I know what you mean.
The mere concept that you'd treat a potential interviewee like that, expecting them to ingratiate yourself with some assholes BEFORE YOU'RE EVEN HIRED OR HAVE EVEN BEEN INTERVIEWED.
Seriously, the fact there's some people with that level of ego is just amazing to me. Here in Denmark we got a cuturally understood concept called 'Janteloven' (or The Jante Law). It's not a literal LAW, but it's a concept of understanding that you're not better than anyone else. Congratz that you make 2 million dollars a month, keep it to yourself cuz the rest of us really don't care about your ego.
It's meant to instill a feeling that no matter if you're a store-worker, a bank manager, a million-dollar company CEO or the State Minister of Denmark - we are all equal as people, so if you think overwise then you're the odd-one-out that everyone things is a massive moron for believing you're better than the rest of us cuz you have this or that education, a massive mansion for a house and got a private airplane with an income around 500 million dollars each month.
I like that very much cuz we have no real mega-feminazis here, BLM movements gone nutty, or asshole people thinking they are soooo important cuz they might be a contractor for a big company.
'Treat everyone with respect and you'll probably get it back.' Good advice.
I've been in business for almost 50 years. Those type of arrogant power hungry people seem to permeate the entire business world. They are absolutely useless. I must say though oh, that this type of story was perfectly delivered with the right impetus to be both on point and humorous. Is though a person was a fly-on-the-wall watching it all unfold!
In the second story it was obvious why the Karen was locked out of her hotel room - the person inside had had enough of her shit and didn't want her coming back in!
Why would you ask any random person to make coffee?
If you work someplace that has coffee why on Earth would you ask or rather demand someone make it for you ??? Simply say nothing go to the coffee machine and make it By Yourself!😁 Smile at the people in the room, and leave. It's not that hard to do.👍
It happened once to my assistant. The woman was livid that assistant didn’t hang up the phone to make coffee. Cue me walking up with a coffee for me and one for my assistant (we always just grab two whenever one of us goes). She tried to take my assistants...
I didn’t even bother doing the interview.
@@nephtys369 Making coffee shouldn't be "someone's job" unless it's shared responsibility. I believe you did the right thing by sharing the coffee "duty". The entitled person probably would not have worked out well; people who expect others to jump to their bidding are not usually nice to work with. I suspect you are very happy you didn't interview the person who was rude.
@@laurak9666 That is very common in Japan where new / junior workers usually are demanded making coffee, tee for other people in the room, if junior worker refuses he / she will be considered anti-social.
Right!?!?! He wanted a black coffee, it's not like he wanted an Americano w/ 2 shots of espresso easy cream... 7-11 even makes you get your own coffee!
My dad owns his own business as well, and if the situation that happened in the first story happened to me if I went to visit him at his office, I can confirm that neither would live to see another day. Dad takes no bs from anyone harassing his daughters.
Those guys were a lawsuit waiting to happen
“Work for us for free or we will fire your boyfriend”
Also, the second guy believed the first no questions asked, then acted like it was business as usual to fire people for stuff like that. Wouldn’t be surprised if the words wrongful dismissal came up in a court case for him some time
The first one is always nice to hear again since it is a really good one.
I enjoyed the last one quite a bit since I have never heard that one before on any channel.
The wife was horrible. I do not know how OP managed to hold onto his temper for so long. I guess he is a real adult. Unlike the wife (customer) who is an oversized brat (at her age!) and enjoys belittling people. I wish I knew if she became an ex customer (got banned later?).
Why did the customers show up to pick up their order at the loading docks if they had not been notified that the order had arrived from being shipped? (It was being held by customs.)
My husband had some wine he ordered from France that was held up by customs. Companies always let customers know status nowadays via emails. That way they are not harassed by customers badgering them with "where's my order?" Or "when is my order going to be delivered?"
1st story shows that some men, not all men, still believe that any woman should cater to them. Even if she worked there or was waiting for her bf, she’s not obligated to make anything for anyone!
Doesn't matter if the girl was the gf of a new guy. Guy can't be fired because his gf (who doesn't work for the company) won't make coffee for some a**hole.
Indeed. Anyone who does that is 100% going to be hit with a wrongful termination suit.
And the seriously sexist remarks are delicious HR fodder.
@@michaelmayfield4304 While I expect that's true, I'd also expect that if it was taken to court, the judge would be saying something to the effect of "your GF refused to serve coffee to someone because it's not her job, and only a few days later you're fired without a reason given? Yeah... I don't think that's a coincidence. I think I'm going to need to look more closely at this case."
A wrongful dismissal case under those circumstances might still be a hard sell, but it would certainly make the employer perspire freely for a while and it might even succeed, depending on just how stupid the employer was in giving evidence and on how diligent the plantiff was in presenting his case.
Finally. Thank you. I'm not a native English speaker and i was trying to say the same thing. Indeed, for me that was the main reason to fire that moron, even over the fact he was harrasing the ceo's daughter
@@michaelmayfield4304 Michael Mayfield Yeah but if you can prove that it was based on prohibited discrimination it's a violation of federal law. It was it's not the case that because employees are at will employees that supervisors can discriminate on the basis of orientation or gender or race. They can name another reason but they're not going to automatically be believed, especially when these men are outright saying these things. The receptionist would not likely lie for them. And their behavior was really so terrible, I mean really nasty, that I find it unlikely they haven't been awful to the women in support staff roles in their offices.
Because of course every employee's girlfriend must serve coffee at work unless they want them fired. It's got to be in the employee handbook somewhere.
"Looks at me like a 3 year old trying to put the star shape in the circle hope but doesn't know why it doesn't fit"
"Looks at me again with the look people have trying to put a puzzle together that is all one colour"
Nice quotes 👌
And the Chad of the story forgot something very important. When you're trying to convince someone to b buy something from you, being a D won't help the sale!
You help me start the morning and help me laugh when I need it
What ever happened to saying excuse me do you work here? Oh no you don't I am sorry. Thank you anyway💁
For some reason a lot of people have come to consider anyone who does that increadibly stupid and generally worth mocking.
@@scorch2155 When being kind and polite is mocked upon. What an upside-down world we live in today.
What happened to getting ones own coffee. Even a secretary probably doesn't have "get the boss coffee" written in their job description, yet stereo-typically they are expected to do so. Unless someone is going for coffee anyway they shouldn't have to do that.
"...I take it black." So, for the horrendous effort of simply pouring coffee into a cup, he lost a contract. Yup, sounds about right.
Loved the first story. A lot of people could learn a lot from it.
"Hotel"/motel patron should have called after the locked-out lady as she walked away, " Don't go away mad just because you don't know where the ice machine is either. "
I was an Officer of the Crown, employed by the Parliament and the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, attached to the Australian Department of Defence, embedded into the Australian Military, chiefly although not exclusively the Australian Army, where as a Special Placement Officer, with a Roving Assignment and operating under The Defence Special Undertakings Act 1952, I specialised in Military Planning, Operational Logistics and certain other unspecified Clandestine Activities, the nature of which must remain Classified in the Interest of Australian National Security.
And in My present assignment I had just got a new Boss.
And having just walked in the door, with another Gentleman whom I did not know, did the briefest of Introductions and told Me to make them Two Cups of Coffee.
Well Coffee making is not listed anywhere on My Duty Statement, so a Lesson on such was now in order.
So I made Myself a beautiful Cup of Tea and Two of the worst Cups of Coffee in Living History.
I apologised when Serving them, saying that I was a Tea Drinker and Coffee was something with which I was not too familiar.
Needless to say, neither of them drank their Coffee.
Then the Colonel dropped by and Invited My new Bass into his office for a chat.
Apparently at some point in that chat, the Colonel (probably having seen the Two Cups of Coffee sitting untouched upon the Desk) must have Warned My new Boss about My not being a Lacky and not trying to get Me to do trivial things like Make Coffee.
When My new Boss came back into the Office he actually Apologised to Me for having told Me to make Coffee and that in the future he’d make his own.
Lesson Learnt.
My IDWH experiences never get that interesting. I'm armed delivery, so usually the gun/body armor are enough to make people realize who I am. But every once in awhile I'll be behind the counter at a business and here the "Excuse me!", I'll turn around and they'll say "Oh you can't help me..."

She should serve us anyway and be pleasant while we call her sexist slurs because her boyfriend certainly works here. She has to do what say anyway, for free, with a smile on her face! We will fire her boyfriend if she doesn't learn her place. How dare a strange woman in our waiting room not serve us?"
Yeaaah. The two-dimensional mustache-twirling villains, "do you know who I am," slurs, and a perfect sitcom payoff = this is most likely fake.
@@LadanBeton you like Tim Pool, don't you? 😊 I do.
I don't know I used to think a lot more of these things were fake. I didn't think people would behave like characters in a really bad story. By "bad" I mean "people don't really act like that, most of us are just trying to get through our day, so this isn't remotely believable" so that the story isn't compelling. Then for the 1st time in my not m-short-so-far life (knock on wood) I happen to be unfortunate enough to have a new boss come on who is really awful. It's a long story, but the behavior is so off the hook, and that insane, abusive behavior is only directed toward certain people so that only some people see it. I had to delete some examples I initially was going to include because I don't want to say anything that could identify that person, as remote a chance as it seems. It is really really bad, and the behavior and the individual incidents are so just crazy-unbelievable. You just would never believe someone would do these things. But they absolutely have, and after working with someone like this, that's a real live person, when I never ever thought people would really behave that way has opened my eyes. It's (in my opinion fwiw) illegal in some cases. But after this I know people do really horrible things and even a group of if them will if they all get on the same wavelength and create the adult equivalent of high school clique. I know better than to go into detail with most people about what happens not only because it's a complicated and long story but also because it's really extreme and doesn't make sense. But even so I know now that these people are out there and a lot of times they look like a really professional really polished people. So although I hear what you're saying and I understand why you would think that I don't really think this is fake. I think the wording might be tuned up a bit but I think overall it's true. Which is OK we don't have to agree and I think your opinion and thoughts on it are every bit as valid. They are just opinions and neither of us really know. 😊
@@jenrabbit4444 First of all, I respect you considering the issue so deeply so I am going to put in as much thought in my own reply.
I know people can be really awful and I've seen them be much worse than in the story - i think we all have. So I'm fully onboard in that area. I just don't see anybody, sexist or not, coming in an telling a strange girl, who is wearing casual clothing and sitting in a reception area "Hey, you, make me a coffee, I'll take it black!" Wouldn't his first instict be - I have no idea who she is and no reason to assume she works here? Then the guy, who is supposed to be a contractor - as in has no formal power in the company - plays out the "Do you know who I am" cliche and threatens to get her fired. That is laying it on a bit thick, especially when you follow it up with "rant rant rant some slurs here and there." What slurs can you even use in that situation? The b-word? maybe calling her a chick if that counts but anything else within another woman's hearing would be career-ending in this day and age and most people are fully aware of that. Then the receptionist keeps quiet instead of telling them she is not working there (being cut off... fine, maybe we can let that one slide.) But of course, what a twist for them, the OP just happens to be the king's daughter. "Walt, C, my office now?" is another cliche that I don't see people actually saying it IRL. And then the contractor lost the contract over this. Weren't we just told he was very important, both by him and the other guy? And Walt eventually losing his job, presumably because his boss disliked him so much over this incident. And the OP lived happily ever after.
I'm willing to swallow one or two convinient details in these posts and still believe them. But this just has telltell signs of someone's fantasy that I already mentioned before. That's why my money is on this being a somewhat lazy-written short story rather than something that actually happened.
It’s hilarious when Karens realize that they have no power in a situation 🤣
@Luis Martinez 😂 Just like a pipe dream.
yes, it's hilarious - but the troubling part is that they never seem to learn
I've watched a lot of these stories and it's amazing how many people lose their jobs or get in trouble over a cup of coffee. It's really hard to imagine that there are that many rude people in this world. I guess I don't get out enough to see stuff like this.

Wow the arrogance of chad and Walt. That’s insane especially when you have a contract with a company that’s when you need to be in your BEST behavior cause you can lose that contract in a second due to that much arrogance and entitlement. I will never understand why people can’t lose their attitude and arrogance and entitlement when they have no reason to be like that.
I briefly worked in a business environment, You want to know why some people in business don't treat stranger with respect? It's simple. It's the zero-sum game view of life. If you can harm someone else, then they are a loser, and that makes you a winner. You should know that. If you live in the US, that summarizes the total life view of a prominent politician, as well as his political party. Harm others as much as you can, and you win.
That's the moment you walk over, pour 2 small cups of coffee, hand it to each of the "gentlemen" and let them know they're going to need this and have a great day.
Chad: Make me coffee, Black
Me: nahhhhhh
My response to that would be to tell him to F off or a punch to the face if he pushes it. Nothing gave that guy the right to be that much of a stuck up asshole

Picture it - It's the late 1980's and I was technically the SR accountant and I was also growing into a system's analyst. My boos, the accounting manager, was talking to the new IT manager in his office and I was invited in. I had barely entered it when the new IT guy asked me for a cup of coffee. I looked him in eye and told him he just walked past it and pointed to where it was. After that, we worked together and got along great. Years later I was told I was one of the few people who got along with him.
When you're not the boss of your own company but treat other people like your personal peons...... How entitled can you be?
I can just imagine the conversation between CEO and Chad
CEO: Pack up your gear, Load your equipment and gather your crew. You have until the end of that day to get off the site.
Chad: But we have a contract.
CEO: *Boot up Chad's butt*
yeah
i’d love to be a fly on the wall for that interaction
It is actually interesting why someone would bully a girl over a cup of coffee. Didn't even start with "do you work here" or whether that work included making coffee.
At first I just agreed with the statement that we should we nice to everybody, which I certainly do my best to be... but then I realized something. Be nice and you might get friends, but be a bully and you might go all the way to the top. Sadly, that often works.
"Nice guys are fine: you have to have somebody to take advantage of... but they always finish last." (Payback)
Maybe that's why that bully needed to prove something for a cup of coffee, showing superiority. But it sure it nice when it backfires.

1st Story. Even if the person worked there, why demand to them to get you a coffee and a person there for an interview defiantly shouldn't be bossed around and getting coffee. What kind of impression does that give about the company.
You should really create animations with it because the fire place makes me really tired and I fall asleep half way through the video

this first story is the perfect example of someone's actions being used against them but the actions of another person being used against someone else such as if this girl was waiting for her boyfriend. her actions in not making coffee and being "rude" to people can NEVER be used against the person who works there. doing so can actually get the company in a lot of legal trouble.
Axtually...no it cant get them in legal trpuble....in most states you can be fired for something your spouse or SO does because most states are at will work laws, meaning as long as you arent fired for a protected reason like race or sex then your job can fire you for whatever reason unless there is a contract stating otherwise.

Do you know who I am???? YUP! . . . .FIRED!
Oooh man if I was a CEO and those two dudes treated my daughter like that. Fuckin dead lol
especially when it’s a Construction Business!!!!
that’s the fastest way to become a ‘Missing Person’
Be as it may, the guys were jerks. But I put it all on the girl. Why in the hell did she not tell the receptionist that she was waiting for her dad and mention the name ? Is not that the normal thing to do ?
Dig a tunnel dig dig a tunnel
It would be hilarious if any one of these “Karen’s” listened to any of these and then rebutted the event. Let me know if that should ever happen!
That's not a hotel, honey. That's a motel.
Nah it's probably one of those fancy mariott villa type things. It's different because it's classy, you see.
Nice stories have great day
Story 1 - that whole story just shows why you should never get a case of “diarrhea of the mouth” when you don’t know who you’re talking with, because it is not going to end well and it will also end up biting you in the ass
Claim to the first is mine
Lol... never assume
Hard lesson learned.
Prolly? Bleaughhh!
dig a tunnel? i think its better to just grab a minigun and spray the door with bullets, thatll work better.
or even better, just grab a tank at your local DMV and touch the door, itll come right off!
Walt i believe it was? I dont really think he was being that rude i think he was just trying to help her and telling her with a bit of an axaderation so she knew it was a big deal i could be wrong and all just my thoughts and i know a certain word is wring im on mobile and young dont realkymvare enough to fix it
Juccy💧
Not a Hotel. That's a Motel
Excellent stories especially the first two.
Im new here just subscribed I've been listening to these stories and and they are making me laugh. I always love it when the rude people realise that they r talking to the wrong people half of the time 🤣🤣
👍👍👍
They never ask, they just order ...
Thing is , with Karens and Kevins, you don't get respect,all you get is aggravation!
A RE-watch... Well worth the repeat OL
The kid of an owner type stories are great
In the first story, you called everyone by name but Chad... Why? Is there should know about that name?
Quite well written fantasy material. Entertaining, but how do we know any of it happened?
LOL 😂 Loved it ♥️ Thanks 🤘🏾
