I once asked for kids temp coffee at Starbucks because, and I quote, "I'm a delicate flower like that". The barista doodled a little flower next to my name on the cup, it was really cute and funny. :D This happened years ago, but I still remember it clearly because it was just a wholesome little nugget of human interaction.
My name is Roberta. Thought this is an easy enough name but not for Starbucks staff, they've got it right maybe ONCE or twice tops, every other time is Rebecca, all other times are not even names. How can you get a simple name so wrong? I don't really go to coffee shops where they write your name on a cup anymore but when I do, I say my name is Amy or Mary or smth like that. It works.
Thank you Joel! Bringing us excellent stories to calm and soothe us during this difficult time. It takes our minds off things, if only temporarily. And that helps more than you know. 🙏❤😊

Damn that neighbor though to save that girl from any harm what a great neighbor give her a gold medal for being a real life hero.😆 they should have a system for people who do really good things out there to get gold medals for doing the right thing maybe not like gold real gold or anything idk maybe it would make people all around the would help and there would be more heroes out there. Idk just a thought. No one's going to read this anyway 🤷🏻♀️😅
The thing I love about you is that you keep up making content even tho you don't get the support you deserve, you are so underrated, but believe me you will get there one day.
Lol the walls have been feeling like they are closing in. Thank you for getting me out of the claustrophobic funk! It was great hearing new stories I've never heard before! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
@@missyunqgunz92 lol if you lived with my daughter, you may think a little differently lol. I could easily be a homebody, but she just cant! It's partially a typical teen thing, but moreso about her disability. She had a rare form of encephalitis right before she turned 10. She is now permanently disabled, with literally no short term memory past 5 minutes. She is still very bright, but she has some very bad behaviors and obsessions. She feels like she has to run, run run. She doesn't care if we just go to stores, which presents its own problems. This is making her behaviors go through the roof, and harder on everyone here. Im pretty patient! I have to be, but as her only caregiver, there are times mama could use a shutdown! I know she doesn't mean some of the horrific things she says, and for the most part, we have all learned planned ignoring, but we are still human! Lol she has blamed the coronavirus on me..because I'm now a "lazy ass" who doesn't want to run! It was her own autoimmune system that attacked her brain as well as numerous other organs. She is now on autoimmune suppressants, possibly for life. I'm simply trying to protect her, and have my own health issues as well. I can't imagine quarantine is the easiest with any 19 year old, but her frustration is magnified by 1000! Yea..we will get through it, and she forgets the cruel things she says and does within 5 minutes, even if we can't! When she is sweet, she is absolutely the sweetest! When she is mean..she is absolutely the meanest! So yea..the walls are closing in a bit. It is a blessing that the weather has been nice for a couple days, and we will find a way to head for a country drive today! That will cheer us all up! Otherwise, I swear, Im a much more upbeat, positive person! I just have my weak moments that I should probably keep to myself!
@@pamalawashington9371 I'm so sorry you're having to go through that. You definitely sound like an amazing mumma though and being isolated with a 19yr old can't be easy. Esp when they tend to want to be free at that age (I know I just wanted to road trip, thrift shop etc) Sending ya cyber hugs from New Zealand. We started our 4week lock down yesterday (I'm doing it alone with a 7 and 9yr old) It's certainly an interesting time in the world... All the best to you and your daughter ❤️
Much love to you, Joel. You already know how much you and your channel mean to me. Just wanted to drop by and say hello. It's been a while. Prayin' you're safe and will stay that way 🥰
Really? she's going to go outside w/ the guy, get her phone snatched and stand there crying? Why leave the hookah bar in the first place? I'd get up, go to the front desk and say this guy is threatening me and or call the police...I swear...
I always assume if the people are over 20 and they have extremely immature or incorrect reactions (especially in an obvious police required scenario) or 'dont bother to report' the story is fake.
I'm at work tonight by myself and I'm sooo happy to be listening to your video tonight...it's getting a bit lonely with the lockdowns...but everyone stay safe🤗🥰
Man great way to start my day again man, thanks for keeping away the blues!! Off to work, be safe my friends and may you be safe from the craziness going round.
Story number two moral of the story is always lock your door any time you leave your house regardless of walking your pets which I have and check in your mailbox please ladies and gentlemen always lock your front doors and car door pls be safe everybody
Well said Shelia. Where I come from you don't ever not lock your door, like, never. No possibility. And you leave the door already looking at both sides and run for your life. Yeah, my hood is pretty rough, you learn the hard way. I left long ago but could never get used to people who come from places where you leave your door unlocked.
You are actually amazing and not like mr nightmare who uploads once a week and has a million subscribers... i really hope ur RUclips channel grows because you deserve it💕💕💕👏🏼👏🏼
@@sandralee8855 Anyone with half a brain can figure out that that's a weird thing to ask someone You don't know this because you watch movies all day, you know this because you're not an idiot
@@victoriathesuspense Pretty much. I've had my share of old creeps when they take it too far I 'nope' out the area. Also, I have a rule of buying my own drinks cause it covers a lot from people trying to put stuff in my drink too people feeling entitled to me. I try to keep it simple.
yes you just put a spoon of peanut butter in you're oat's. I also din't have any plant base milk to use. So I just went with adding water to the oat's and it was delicious😁
Got excited when I heard the story that took place in Downtown Denver. I listen to so many of these stories from different youtubers too and never hear any stories taking place in Denver 👌
6:14 I was about to go to sleep and all of a sudden I'm like "wait a minute, isn't this my story?" Didn't know which video it would be included in so that was a surprise! Thank you for narrating it :)
Jenna McGee hearing glad you got away from her. The part about her leading you into the bathroom made me wonder why she was trying to get you into the bathtub. Maybe the kitchen was plan B for her
@@brettm115 that's also what I think. Although I can't imagine that her bathroom plan would've gone any better, since if she did try anything I probably would've been able to over power her and get away (perks of being the tallest in my class and growing up with 2 older siblings) Also thank you for listening to my story :))
The kidnapping one really hit hard because I was almost kidnaped in my old neighborhood it was a busy street and my mom unknowingly saved me when she called me to ask me something I was about 12 and this guy in a white van pulled up next to me and kept telling me he was my friend's cousin and saying that my friend told him to pick me up, he wouldn't say what friend or why and he finally took off when I pulled out my phone cause my mom called and I told her what happened and she never let me walk to pick up my brother again

Dude people must come from really idyllic places that my mind cannot even start to imagine. Where I come from you just don't ever leave your door unlocked, not ever.
That fact that she declared what she was reaching for made me feel complete and utter dread, I just knew (considering her history with anger issues and violence) that it was going to be a sharp object, a knife. But thanks for taking the time to listen to my story it means alot :))
@@jenna6572 Oh my god you poor thing, I can only imagine how terrified you must've been when that little monster tried to harm you. I hope to god she's gotten some reality beaten into her and if not, that she's far away from people.
I had a similar experience when I was 13 so I am a 13 year old female and live in Boston I used to go to a dance class and my Mom used to always pick me up after it finished but this one night was the last night I went due to this experience I was standing outside and by the dance class building there is a side street which is always dark and I always find creepy so I stood for about 10 to 15 minutes which is normal because my mom gets caught in traffic and my dance class is on a Main Street. So I just looked on instagram to pass time and a car pulls in from the dark side street but I don’t really pay any attention to it so I just keep looking on instagram 5 minutes passed and this car is just parked there and It looked brand new and clean with tinted windows and no one got out of the car if they did I would of heard the door opening and closing then the drivers window winds down and a man who looked about mid 30s said something along the lines of Hi sweetie how come your by yourself. I just said nothing and just kept looking on instagram making out I wasn’t interested hoping he would just drive of then he asked me if I know the way to Cambridge Street obviously being 13 at the time I am no good at directing but I new the street but I told him I knew the street but don’t know directions from here and sure it was a few miles away then he said where do you live I will give you a ride. Being young and naive I still am and I’m 15 now I had this feeling he would not give up and if I walked away he might just follow then he opened his door then luckily enough my moms car pulled up and this man just drove away my mom said there was no point calling the police as he didn’t really do anything although he could of after this I told my mom I didn’t want to go to dance class anymore. So she said she would take me to a different one closer to home
*sees title* nice
Aww man
In the first story when he said that the guy asked him to taste the drink I immediately knew he wanted to drug him
That neighbor is a real one👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I came from one of your other videos to here! Thank you for making isolation better! :)

Coffee shops are a full of creeps, free WiFi and misspelled names on coffee cups bring the worst out of people
I once asked for kids temp coffee at Starbucks because, and I quote, "I'm a delicate flower like that". The barista doodled a little flower next to my name on the cup, it was really cute and funny. :D

The scariest thing in coffee shops is when they start charging for WiFi.

You don’t have to be nice to creeps -- good takeaway. You read these all so well, thank you for giving storytellers respect “Let’s Read!”

Stumbled upon your channel and I’m digging your story telling. Subscribed and got notifications on. Thanks
Lmao when one of the storied mentioned Naruto I laughed😂
That first story. I wouldn't have seen that as a red flag, trying to measure body for drug dose. I've been lucky/ugly.
