I am convinced a neighbor filled their above-ground pool with my hose while I was gone for a week. I was shocked that I owed a bill for 1,400 gallons of water. No leaks in our house but “we” had used 1,400 gallons. I could not prove it but I will definitely keep watch from now on.
A Camera pointed along the side of the house with the tap will tell you if your neighbour tries that stunt again... It would work far better if they don't know you've installed Camera's...so IF you put them in, do it when they're not home, put in hard-to-see Camera's and keep your yap shut about your new toys... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Learning experience for Story1 OP. Once Karen said they wanted 36 cases, OP should have asked about their transportation. And then the last pallet didn't need to be brought down right away!
Home Depot story: OP, YOU are inexperienced. So where do you get off calling the second reach driver incompetent? He's merely inexperienced as well. Yeah, Karens will Karen. As long as you're in some type of retail you're going to run into them. Pendent story: Yep, I bet dad is a LOT more careful with his instructions to OP nowadays. Counterfeit story: Yeah, even the first time OP should have contacted the police to investigate. While I doubt the gas station attendant was making counterfeits, he should not have been trying to pass it off so HE wasn't stuck with it. Water thief story: As least you discovered the truth. Next time, take the precaution of having your outside faucets locked out to prevent usage when you're away.
Utilities are usually not shut off because it's expensive to restart service. The lady who sold me my house thought she had turned off the gas but she didn't, they had just flipped it over to my name weeks before I actually took possession of the house. Oh she also had a leak so when we went to do the final walk-through the house was ready to explode.
I’ve Worked in Home Depot Nights as a Stocking and I can tell you that’s a Job you can never win at.They have like 3 Different entities doing the ordering.Say some one walks in grabs a Single light bulb.Now the person in charge of that isle,orders another Light Bulb ,with out grabbing one from up in the stacks,.Then the Check out automatically orders another Case of that same light bulb.Now there is ,the headquarters ,they now order spot this and they Ordie that same light bulb.There is only X amount of Shelving space ,and x amount of In store Top shelf storage .This happens constantly and it’s downright nuts!
I am SO sick of hearing that "The customer is always right". Who decided that? Adam Smith, the great Economist, NEVER said that in his books. What he said was; if the public wants Widgets, manufacture Widgets, not Whatsits. Somehow this was paraphrased into an entirely different meaning. The average retail customer has NOTHING to do with it! AND, they are often WRONG!
It's a misquote. The actual quote is "the customer is always right in matters of taste." In other words if a customer likes a hideous purple dress, sell it to them. It does not mean their customer has the right to screw with the employees.
@@Erydanus I took both Macro and Micro Economics in college. I was interested enough to read Smith's "The Wealth of Nations". Your quote wasn't in there. So, I would say that that would be yet another incorrect paraphrase.
In reference to the Raymond Reach in the second story; those puppies are tricky to handle. After 5 years Fork lift operation, I still avoid them! They were originally designed just to be used by Raymond employees.
Hello RedWheel hope you are wel. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe.🏴😁😷👍. Have a great day and a wonderful week ahead. If you celebrate Easter. Happy Easter week ahead everyone
Hello RedWheel! Thanks for your news earlier. It meant such a lot to me. I sell my paintings to provide support for Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine. Please give my kind regards to the people there. Let’s hope it’s over soon. Hugs & love xx 🎉
Good afternoon, friends! Things have improved, I got my notice and my emojis are back! I didn't do anything? Owel, great stories, thank you for sharing! Catch you again tomorrow!
last one, the neighbor wont have a good time now, the city probably have some bloodtirsty lawyers that is feed the minimum they can send afther the person in question hehehe
9:29) $10? It must have been some of the New York State fake stuff. France is the only where the real is made. 11:51)Same old story. Same old answer from me. Inside cut offs for outside faucets. For electric thieves, I suggested flipping the switch, or removing the fuse from the electrical box.
The fake $10 in AU, omg, it would not surprise me if this was in Brisbane. I was working in Brisbane in a well known women fashion store many moons ago. I had this $10 note, and it felt and look wrong, o it was close but I have never seen any notes that had colour that looked like it had been smudged. I did not want to take it and had told the customer it was not right, but my, younger know all manager told me it was fine and told be to just take it. I said no, but was told to just do it. So I had to, when the store was empty, I again told her it was fake and I have never seen a note of any amount look like it had been through the wash. Once so so many years ago we had paper money, and even that did not look like this note when it had gone through the wash. But this $10 note look like it had gone through the wash and the colours had run. Yep smudged, I was told Jo it is fine and just put it in the banking, I did not want to do this for it is wrong, but she is the Boss. Funny it was she did the banking that day.
Here in Wallaroo, S.A. a few years back we had a run of fake paper $10 notes with red Chinese writing across in large print. Aparrently they were "used to train bank tellers in china" so the news report went. Some scumbag got caught importing boxes of these fake notes. They were a really obvious fake anyway and the chinese writing aparrently stated it was practice money or something.
@@Bluerose888 Yup! In order to Legally sell a home in the USA, it must have running Electricity and Water so as long as it's on the Market, you need to maintain your power and water accounts and the moment you sign the final Sales Document, you call the Utilities and tell them that it's sold and you're closing your Accounts because now it's the new Owners Responsibility... If you don't live in the home while trying to sell it, you should have someone you trust visit at least once per day to check for problems (Fire, Insect/Rodent Infestations, broken pipes/Flooding, Break-Ins, Utility Theft etc.) if you can't do that yourself... Turning off the Main Water Tap will protect against Water Theft by the neighbours and flooding from burst pipes, but you need to let your Real Estate Agent know so they can turn the water on for Showings and then off to protect the property between Showings...
That last story reminded me of something that happened to a co-worker some years back. He was complaining about a truly massive water bill and asked me (since he really wasn't comfortable with computers and I'm a geek) if I could please look up the local utility's rates, figure out some numbers, and hopefully figure out how to lower the bill. I don't remember the exact numbers -- this was well over a decade back -- but I do remember that i discovered he was being billed at a commercial rate roughly 3x the standard residential rate, and that the volume of water equal to that bill was slightly greater than the total volume of space occupied by his house. Yep, the meter was bad... Yep, the city was supposed to replace the meter free of charge and lower the bill to an average of the previous year's bills... and NOPE, the city didn't want to because "those are the numbers from directly reading the meter." The battle lasted so long that they were threatening to cut off the water for the house by the time my co-worker got the ear of someone with more than 3 working brain cells and the whole mess was worked out properly.
Fun Fact: "Sparkling Wine" and "Champagne" are exactly the same thing by two different names. The only difference is that "Champagne" is named after a region in France where the process originated and "Sparkling Wine" is named so because the French got all butt-hurt over other people calling exactly the same thing (but not made in France) "Champagne" and started a court case where they pretended that people would be fooled into believing that the Sparkling Wine came from that region of France, despite the fact that the vast majority of people neither know nor care that Champagne the wine was named after Champagne the region. They even won the case... at least in France... as you might expect.
"Sometimes that Karen looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a Karen is she's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When she comes at ya, she doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til she 'ahems' ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The sales floor turns red, and despite all your 'I don't work here ladies' those Karens come in and... they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred managers. I don't know how many Karens there were, maybe a thousand. I don’t know how many managers, they averaged six an hour. So, eleven hundred employees went into work. 316 come out, the Karens took the rest, June the 29th, 2022. I'll never go into retail again. Anyway, she got her return.”
I think that there should be an antikaren charge. If a Karen, comes into a business and waste employees & management time. Business should be able charge her for that lost time. Three times the wage of each employee wage payable prior departure, refusal is grounds for his/her arrest for theft of service!
I went to bank counter to deposit @6 checks in the $15 range. I notice a $100 bill loose on counter. I figure a prop, advertisement then look close. It looks real. As nobody behind I ask. Seems someone wanted change. The teller noticed it felt wrong, checked counterfeit. They tell guy they need to call the Police. He runs out. So they are waiting for Police. I suggested they should cover it, close that till. “This is till I like”. Yep fine. I almost had picked it up to check back.
For the Home Depot story, Don't worry about that lady wasting your time, Home Depot doesn't pay you a living wage and actively fights against unionization so feel free to take as much of Home Depot's time as possible. They owe you for putting up with customers like that.
The first story has 2 entitled parties in my opinion, ofcourse the Karen but OP too, dare to call his coworker incompetent while OP is the one without a frocking licence, the dude took time out of his work to help OP stop whining for him being slow, he said he wasn't used to driving it so stop being a Karen about it
No. The customer is NOT "always right". The actual quote is: "The customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE". If the customer wants to pair puce pink with babyshit yellow carpet, that's their prerogative. It doesn't mean they're correct.
I for one understand it being called champagne in the US instead of sparkling wine. We never signed that treaty that gave the Champagne region of France that right.
Its wine snobbery to add prestige and price to their own wine and remove it from other's wines. Nobody cares that Cornish pasties made in South Australia are called Cornish. After all theyre called Cornish for the style of pasty they are. If this kind of bs keeps up, we'll have to import our Kentucky fried chicken!
That whole "Champagne is only champagne if it comes from Champagne France" bs is just a dumb marketing gimmick and needs to be put out of everyone's misery. Champagne is just sparkling wine, no matter where it's made, and if you get butthurt about the name, then you're part of the problem. Let people have their sparkling wine from wherever they like and let them call it whatever they want. The French stuff isn't so special that it gets to monopolize the name.
75k gallons? In the US it would be felony theft of services. Neighbor needs some serious punishment financially and legally.
It would also take ages to fill.
What is the standard flow rate of a garden tap?
75,000gallons ÷ flow rate = time to fill pool.
@@IIGrayfoxII Using the average flow rate of 13 GPM means it would take 5,769 minutes.

@@Jason-hm1sc That is why people get the fire department to fill pools. They come out and hook up to the hydrant. Done in minutes.

There are ways to put locks on outside faucets or to cut them off. Also, video cameras.
@@mbyerly9680 Locks can be broken. If the outside faucets do not have a cut off, then use the main shut off.

For the counterfeit story as a former cashier this riles me up. Counterfeiters are the lowest of the low.

To the last story. Op should have had the water and electricity turned off and informed the new owners as much. Thusly, avoiding this whole mess.

Water bill for house you no longer own, why is the water service still in your name?
I guess the water bill was for the house while it was stll in her name, before it was sold.
