Story 4: I love how compassionate OP was to the priest. Thought OP had suffered religion-based trauma, she was able to empathize with him. He, in turn, treated her with a respect that Mother-in-Law refused to give. So cool that they became friends and he emceed her wedding.
Story 5: If you want to get on someone's good side, you don't fuck with their secretary. Not only is it guaranteed to get back to them but good luck booking an appointment through their secretary after that.
Also all the other senators will hear about this within about a week, so she will pretty much never be able to get an appointment again to lobby any of them either. No matter the party they do not want to be tainted with association.
@@stoopingfalcon891 I can think of another place where gossip spreads faster then light.... High school. Gossip spreads faster then a cold in high school. Its worse now with phones and such.
I like the one where MIL shows up in a wedding dress. One of the bridesmaids accidentally/purposely tripped and spilled red wine on it. That bridesmaid just happened to be one of the SIL's who didn't like mom.
My own personal favourite wedding dress story: Many years ago, a friend of mine was getting married. His stb wife was an amazing woman, but because she was, for want of a better way to put it, 'quiet', her fmil thought she could be treated as a doormat (there are a lot of stories about the MiL involved there). The stb wife never argued with her, never contradicted her, was always respectful to her. So, to cut a long story short, the Mil and both Sil turn up in ivory coloured dresses that were so close to being white that it made no real difference. Then at the ceremony, the door opened to admit the bride, and she walked in wearing what is in my opinion one of the most beautiful blue velvet dresses my wife and I have ever seen, with a white lace yolk. Her brother, who was walking her down the aisle, had the biggest crap eating grin on his face at the expression on the MiL and SiLs faces. The photos I had have long since disappeared, but the sour expressions they wore were so evident in the pics it was funny. My friend said to me later that day 'She might be quiet but don't try to screw with her'
Story 1: i have a permanent tracheostomy (22+ years) and wear a Shiley tube. About 4 years in , I was checking out at grocery store. At checkout in front of me a little boy asked his Mom what was wrong with me and what my tube was. She looked at him, then looked me in the eye and said: “Thats what happens to people who smoke cigarettes.” I was so shocked at her responseI did not correct her. I have SOSA (severe obstructive sleep apnea). Hopefully, it kept him from ever picking up a cigarette!
How do I find women like OP in story 4? Not only is she badass, but she has the patience of a saint. That husband didn't even know how lucky he is during the story.
Love that even with religious trauma she was chill and friendly with the priest. I am agnostic with an intense grudge against organised religion, but I also do not believe in punishing an individual for other peoples crimes just because they can get seen as part of a group. Unless someone religious acts like an ahole, they are deserving of basic human decency and the same respect and kindness I expect everyone to be treated with by default.
Story 4: someone need to give that dress shop owner a drink, he's the unspoken hero of this post, called the bride that relatives bought the same dress as her, real Chad move by that shop owner
@@judycroteau482 not to sound Bias or anything but i can name like 3 Bridal shops in my town and all 3 are owned by men. That being said your comment is kinda Sexist in believing only women own dress shops. Also ikif you know this but most of the time in the English language if you dont know the sex of someone He is used.
@@leemitchell7841 Strange, last I checked, in English the pronoun used for unknown sex/gender is "they/them", not "he/him" - "he/him" is the default neutral in many other languages, but not English. (Though it is traditional to presume some random sex/gender for specific roles, but that's cultural, not an aspect of grammar.)
The two stories about Steve quitting his pain in the @$$ job to leave his Karen bosses high and dry during the holiday rush and the bride who wore purple to her wedding and told all her female gets to wear their own wedding dresses to 🤬 her Karen mother-in-law were the absolute best ones 🤩👍😄
Corrrection: no one bought a wedding dress for OP's all white dresses wedding... except for MIL n the SILs 🤣🤣🤣 I've heard that story before but I let it play thru anyway cuz it is so satisfying
Not my story, but a coworker's. We worked in a cafe together, I was the baker. She told me about working for a caterer who was setting up a wedding reception. The cake was being set up by a baker. The bride was there with her MIL to be, and the latter woman was acting terribly, trying to provoke the bride and giving her all sorts of insults, while the bride tried to back away. Upset she couldn't get the younger woman to react, the MIL stomped over to the wedding cake and slugged it. damaging it badly. The baker had to be hauled off of the MIL, and the FIL was sent for. He arrived saying "What's she done now/" That woman was allowed to attend the ceremony but not the reception.
Oh, hell no! I wouldn't have stopped the baker. That horrible b*tch deserved to be taken down. I'm not normally a violent person, but she was not only bullying the bride, but also ruined the cake! Both of those things would have had me going after her.
Story 4: I love these stories where someone tries to upstage a wedding out of spite, but the bride or groom found out in advance and prevented it in a creative way. But really, if you value your own morality and want to keep a strong relationship with your family, don't upstage a wedding
@@yachishairclips2250 hi fellow tater tot! I love Charlotte's channel, her reactions are sooo over the top perfect and her editors are the chefs 💋 of editing.
Story 4 reminds me of another Reddit post where the bride was from India. The groom's mom asked her if she could wear white to the wedding. OP (bride) said yes. The groom was NOT happy until the OP reminded him that her dress would be red. MIL did not get any of the attention she wanted, but she was shamed by a child. Great story.
First story: shoulda said the kid was getting a puppy. Little kids get *way* more excited for pupies than Ipads, and if the parent does decide to get it to appease their snot gremlin, they're out way more money with recurring costs.
Steve should have went to workman's comp or labor board and reported them for overworking him on his day off and that way they would get a little bit of a kick in the butt for doing a shit trick like that.
Story 4, op has the patience of a saint to deal with that horrid MiL. If my MiL actually told my kids they were going to hell because they aren't baptized, there would be hell to pay and then NC. Also, when she gave them the silent treatment because she didn't get her way to humiliate op, she thought they would give up but in reality she made them happy and stress free. When she realized that it wasn't going the way she thought it would she finally gave up and put up a white flag when she realized that she wasn't going to win. Then FINALLY started behaving herself.
It's not even biblical as in Baptism is a sign of obedience. It's not required for salvation. By that I mean it's in the Bible, but you don't go to hell if you're not baptized. One of the criminals next to Jesus on the cross was told by Jesus that he would be in Paradise that day with him. Obviously the man didn't have time to get baptized before dying. That mil is the type of person that give actual Christians a bad name.
@@paulagoeringer9466 I agree 💯. I wouldn't have patience to deal with my MiL or anyone that spouts nonsense like that and I'm a Christian. Those people hide behind religion to get away with their BS.
That dress tailor deserves some praise as well, they called OP in advance and told her that mother and sister in law was planning on sabotaging her own wedding, by wearing white dresses, props to them
@@Josh_the_jester I agree, the tailor knew they were vile and up to no good. I also think they were trying to get back at op for telling them off and refusing to obey MiL.
@@onepieceisking5493 yes. They're usually the biggest hypocrites. They make my blood boil. I haven't been to church in years because of people like that and worse, the creeps who look to take advantage of any females regardless of age.🤮
I love the purple wedding dress story. The bride is a real badass woman. In a fight I want to be on her side. The way she turned MIL & SILs evil plans to making them the laughing stock was brilliant. Bride and Groom make a great couple.
Story 3: People quit bad managers/employers. Perhaps if they hadn't been so scummy, they wouldn't have lost such an efficient employee And he was helping on his day off. He could've just done whatever he wanted besides work, but he decided to help.
The one thing I don't understand is why they're surprised that their golden goose stops laying eggs when their unhappy. Hell, OP was extra generous for giving two weeks notice, it's not illegal to quit without notice
I knew someone with Dwarfism who sometimes used to say he worked for Santa, but they were on holiday at the moment to very little kids who came up and asked him why he was so small (near Christmas). He also worked as an elf during Christmas, so sometimes the same kids would see him in costume and point. He would just wink at them and put his finger to his lips and say shhh. It made their day.
I love it when bosses/managers *know* an employee is their golden goose, but still treats them like crap & does the surprised Pikachu face when they quit
to all managers and employees. a write up is NOT valid until its signed by the person who the write up is about and anything that happens after refusing to sign the write up including firing the employee can be seen as retaliation for refusing to sign which can have the company sued.
After so many stories of husbands just blindingly being on their mothers' sides, it's refreshing to hear one where he understands what crossing a line looks like!
It's outrageous how many men develop the spines of a jellyfish when it comes to dealing with their mothers. Controlling MILs ruin SO many marriages, enabled by their sons. I was marriied to a woman much like these men, who let her narcissistic mother abuse me in more ways than 1 and like these men took her mother's side over her husband's. I finally walked away from that hell after 9 years. I should've done it a lot sooner.
I've heard the wedding story before and it's just _chef's kiss_ I wish I could see photos of it - a sea of white with three in purple must've been an awesome sight
I was in the US Army in the early '70s I went to my duty station one day, when I wasn't scheduled. I was on a step ladder, with the hood raised on a RCA studio TV camera doing some calibration when someone walked up behind me. They didn't introduce themselves, but a male voice asked, "What are you doing?" I replied, "I noticed a slight problem in this camera during our newscast, last bight. I needed someone in the studio to do this right, so I came in today to do it." He asked, "Why aren't you in uniform?" I laughed, "If I showed up in uniform, they would find plenty of time wasting crap to waste the rest of my day, and I worked 60 hours in the last three days." He laughed, "You wouldn't catch me near my duty section on my day off!" I was just finishing up when I glanced to see who it was. He had turned t leave, but he had two stars on each shoulder. It was General Marks, the Commander of the three Alaskan Army bases.
That kind of General is what inspires men to follow a leader even into hell and back. Cf. Admiral Halsey of WWII fame. Awesome story, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
@@PanduPoluan I had more than one officer call me 'An insubordinate SOB', because what they wanted was not about to happen. They would say, I'm gong to call your general!" I would just laugh, and tell them, "Make sure to tell him that Michael said hello!". They had no idea that even though they outranked me, that I could have them arrested if they walked into the control/transmitter room. I even had a visiting general from the Pentagon call the station to demand I run a different movie one night, because he had already seen it. I hung up on him five times before he gave up. It was the last day of our weekly cycle, and all the other films were already packed and at Transportation to go to the next station, There was nothing else there to run, but he was bragging about making a phone call to his buddies in DC to get me locked up. I never heard from him again, but an E8 asked, "Why are you so hard on officers?" I laughed and replied, "I'm only hard on the ones who deserve it. The E7 who was the station's supply Sargent refused to order projector bulbs for our 16mm film chain. He claimed that I was 'wasting them'. They were rated for a 20 hour life, but he insisted that 'light bulbs last for years' even though the bulbs, the box and the description listed 20 hour life. We were on air with over 16 hours of film, each day, and each projector held two bulbs. We were not a color station, and I was running them at reduced voltage, to squeeze an average 130 hours per bulb. If they were any dimmer, there was noticeable noise in the video. He did this after I rebuilt the station, and I used 1400 line items of parts while he was on leave for three weeks. He had taken al three sets of keys to the supply room with him. His, the managers and the set that was supposed to be given to the engineer. He was still leaving the station's parking lot when I went off air. I went over the wall to get the parts that I needed, then I continued working to repair every problem at the station. By the end, the total was around 2200 parts. A call to the General's office had the inter base courier delivering six of them to me the next day, and a threat to bust him to an E1, if he ever did it again. He tried to take them from the courtier, but he looked down at him, "General Marks said to give these to Terrell, only!" He yelled, "If'n you eva goes ova my head again!" I laughed and said, "You won't have a head, if I have to. The General was ready to bust you to E1, but I told him to give you one more chance." Hen he was there for my promotion, he told me that before I arrived, his office received over five file cabinet drawers of written complaints about the problems at the radio & TV station, but they had stopped right after I rebuilt the TV station and made some changes to the radio station. Then he said, "Your station was the biggest technical joke in this entire theater. It is now the smoothest running. A couple years ago, I ran into someone who arrived after I left Alaska. He said that everything was still working flawlessly, until the station was shut down, about two years later. Some leaders do appreciated tech support, but others are stupid enough to piss off an engineer.
@@PanduPoluan He was. He was i charge of three Army bases. Our Base Information officer was just the opposite. He was a minority Lieutenant with a huge inferiority complex. He stormed into the control room while I was on the air and started screaming, "SOLDIER! I WAS JUST IN YOUR TV STUDIO AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! THE FLOOR HAS NO SHINE, AT ALL!" I asked, "Who are you, and who gave you permission to enter a dangerous, restricted area?" He yelled, "I'm an officer!" I told him, "Look behind you and read the brass plaque on the wall behind your head." He turned. It gave the regulation number and it sated, 'Operator on duty is in complete command of this facility, and that they had the authority to have intruders arrested.' He turns and said "That doesn't apply to officers!" I laughed, "Sir? It applies to everyone on earth except the Commander in Chief, and the head of AFRTS, of which you are neither! As far as the studio floor, it is against regulations for the floor to shine because it will affect the TV cameras." He turned red and told me, "You can just slop some wax on it before you go on the air, but I damned well better be able to see my face in it tomorrow!" I told him that not only did the studio have to be ready to use at a moment's notice, but doing his fool suggestion would damage the TV camera dollies. I sighed and asked, "Sir? Go read our SOP before you make an even bigger fool of yourself." He yelled that the SOP doesn't apply to him, because it is 'his station'. I'm getting tired of this self important mimeograph machine operating fool. I'm busy running film which needs to be changed soon and trying to maintain proper audio and video levels. He pointed to a piece of equipment that was in pieces on the workbench and demanded, "What the hell is that?" I looked at the moron and told him that I was repairing, it between changing reels of film and monitoring the other equipment. He gave me a nasty look, "Well it better be back together, and hooked up in whatever hole it came out of when you leave!" I told him that I would reinstall it once I was finished, because it was an off limits work area where he had no authority. I also told him that the station would be off the aair if I listened to his stupid 'command' if it was non functional, but connected to the other equipment. He started jerking on the drawers in the workbench so hard that tools were flying out unto the floor. "This is a damned disgrace! These drawers need to be repainted, and the tools need to be polished!" I was fed up, and told him to leave. Then he noticed a couple feet wide row of equipment manuals on the back corner of the bench! "What the hell are these?' "They are my equipment manuals." He sighed, "I'm going to lock them in my office, and I will issue them only if and when I deem it necessary!" I laughed, "Sir? I 'm afraid that if you even touch my manuals, I will have no other choice than to break your fingernails, all the way to your elbows." He turned red with anger, but it was obvious that I could easily do what I threatened. (Just before I went on active duty, I got angry one day and picked up the short 389 block for my '66 Pontiac GTO, and I had worked in a TV shop where two of us would pick up some eight foot wide Zenith TVs that were marked, 'Use seven people or a forklift to move this console'. He called me a SOB, followed with 'I'm calling the General!" As usual, I told him, "Tell him that Michael says hello!" "What the hell does that mean?" I laughed, "Oh, he'll gladly explain it to you. Not get your ass out of here before I call the MPs to have you arrested." He made the call, and got his ass handed to him. He never came into my area when I was there, again. We were budgeted to convert the station to color, but he was telling everyone that it was impossible. I was soon tired of the phone calls when I was on air, asking if he was right. I hand made a 35mm slide with two lines of text, 'AFRTS' and 'Channel 8'. I borrowed a color bar generator (test equipment used to set up old color TV displays) and jury rigged a way to send our station ID in color, with no color equipment. Each vertical row of text was in a different color. 15 seconds later he is on the phone yelling, "Soldier! You just made a fool of me!" I laughed, "Sir? Don't you claim to be a self made man?" He slammed down his phone. I was there another seven months. He never spoke to me again, or even looked me in the eye. How was that supposed to bother me? The sweet irony was that he was forced by the General to also right me a letter of commendation when I was leaving the base when I was at ETS.
One thing that you never do is make the receptionist mad. Tip for those that want to interview for an office position in the future. You want to make friends with the receptionist as they are the eyes and ears for the boss. Because after the interview, if the receptionist was treated well, they’ll back you up. If not, well, good luck to you on your next interview.
Nah ... santa is in a coma and its all the bad mommies and daddies fault. Mommy and Daddy have to leave you at nanas to go help the sooner the better or their will be no christmas for anyone let alone you...
Story 5: I hope the project LobbyAnn was pitching wasn't for a needed social project. It would be horrible if her stupidity hurt a lot of people by killing their funding.
I'd be letting the others involved in that project know exactly what kind of person LobbyAnn is and how she lost them the funding. I wonder how long it would be before she was replaced. I wonder how many other opportunities she had lost for them.
@@ellenparker3445 i mean im sure the subject of the meeting was brought up before its like one of the first things they ask you when trying to schedule a meeting with any government official so its a safe bet it wasnt anything major
It's a great idea that when you have an abrasive MIL to set up passwords with your vendors. No telling what someone like that will to louse up the wedding.
My minister actually said to me that my father was in hell bcs he wasn't baptized as an adult, but as a baby, therefore not making a conscious choice. Yeah, never stepped foot in any church since then.
Those women are christians in name only. They give actual Christians a bad name. I was raised around worse ones than them and I can't stand the hypocrisy.
Story 3... that write up... I would have had them amend that I was insubordinate on a time I was not on the clock and was not scheduled to do work on. But I would also never ever be doing work on time I am not being paid for.
Hunter and his iPad reminded me of a friend who once worked as a Mall Santa. Parents would "drop the kids off" with Santa while they went shopping. He would solemnly promise them that Santa would bring them EVERYTHING they wanted for Christmas, but sometimes Mommies and Daddies wouldn't hide some of the presents, so if they didn't get EVERYTHING that they asked for under the tree, Mommy and Daddy had hidden the presents. Lol
Story 4. I trust the Priest at some point had a few words with MIL and SIL regarding Christs' Second Commandment about loving your neighbour; such a reminder seemed overdue.
One of my daughter in laws wore a black and red dress and she looked beautiful. One of my boys got state licensed and officiated for his kid brother, who wore his dress uniform. It was a lovely simple affair like ours. We had the traditional Catholic Wedding Mass, and their's was a sweet family wedding in the event room at a local lake. Both couples are happily married. OP is right, it doesn't have to fit a certain mold. It's a ceremony to publicly state that you are a couple. It's the marriage that's the important part.
I wouldn’t have signed the write up, like when goodwill tried to demote store manager Julie to assistant manager after being told that her store wasn’t making enough money within a month after Hurricane Irma (which ruined tons of donations people piled up outside the donation center and ruined products inside, like dresses, furniture, etc, as the ceiling tiles fell out and there were multiple leaks in the roof, which had been a problem for two years or so before the hurricane). Needless to say, right in front of her boss, she gathered her things and walked out.
Story 2: There is also that if she goes to Israel she may not get to go back. Along with not having to go though with the divorce, in that country she would be his property being his wife... and could use blackmail or worse to get her to pay off his debt.
4th one; I guess no one knows how to make Wedding dresses into evening gowns anymore.that is what used to be done..🤔😁. Also I agree with the Bride about wasting Big Money on Dresses and Venue and instead use the Money for a House down payment, or pay off that Expensive new car..🚗☺
Stry 5: When you are asking for money, having your crap together is key. There's lots of people fighting for money. Still, most people would understand forgetting a pen. Or they could have said, "I love the pen, I'm so proud of your accomplishments doing X." But you always need to treat the people who manage an office well. They can lose mail or forget appointments and kill any future opportunities. And you should treat them well because they're people like everybody else.
But people don't see that, they see a subordinate and look at such behavior to get someone who will be the subordinate they want. The senator is luckily not such a person like that. She respects her worker like they deserve. People are hard to get out of the old ways of thinking. I partially believe it because they suffered through it so this newer generation should. Instead of making it easy they prefer to give the same hurdles they had to jump through.
I already think it is tacky to wear white to a wedding, immature to wear a wedding dress if you aren't the bride. But going out of your way to wear an exact duplicate of the brides dress is a new low.
Story 3: It's always the most valued workers managers and supervisors will decide to treat terribly, and when these MVPs decide they had enough, things go bad very quickly.
OP in the second story got that last line wrong, he's not just a douchebag, he's probably a SINGLE douchebag. Well deserved after how he treated his wife when she got sick. I had an accident that led to me being disabled, I can still walk, but the pain can be excruciating. Well, after a year and a half my now darling EX husband said to me "when are you gonna get better so I don't have to do everything for you and around the house?" That comment broke. Because, as bizarre as this sounds, I was jealous that he could stand and do the things I couldn't anymore. Like washing up, he could do it in 1 hit, whereas if I did it, I would have to take regular breaks because the pain would get too much to stand at the sink for longer than 5 minutes at a time. He made comments like a few times, but this was the first, and it will stay with me forever! But some people are just selfish dicks that open their mouth like that, without thinking about how their words will affect the other person. AKA a-holes.
Story 3 - Nicely done, but I think I'd have milked it a little more. For instance, after the boss started begging me to stay, I'd have said, "First, shred that writeup. Second, write up the manager for falsely accusing me." After they did that, then I'd have hemmed and hawed a little, and let them make a few more offers. Then I'd have said, "Let me think about it." Of course, my two-weeks' notice would still be in effect the whole time. I would have put off giving them a final answer as long as I possibly could, and then I'd have said, "Nope, I'm leaving."
story 4: that MIL is likely not going to heaven, God doesn't like assholes (I mean, he _did_ throw lighting at some pretty mean people in the old testament lol) either way, I hope the MIL enjoys her old age all alone. keep that up and those daughters might run away later as well. or maybe not, it's up in the air. hope it does happen though, she deserves it.
in the first story OPs' response was brilliant and funny as hell/ in the third story if I was steve I would ask for an amendment to be put into my contract that if I come in on my day off just to say hello and you demand that I start working you will pay me double time for the hours that I work on that day/ MAD PROPS to the dress shop who contacted OP and told her what her mil and sil's had done and SUPER MAD PROPS to OP for getting back at her mil and sil's in a TRULY GLORIOUS WAY AND I BET OP WALKED ON CLOUD NINE FOR A WEEK AFTER THAT and also KUDOS TO THE HUSBAND FOR FINALLY STANDING UP TO HIS MOM
I hope you and Stevie Boy have a very Happy New Year . I'm looking forward to 2023. Love your stories. Thank you for a wonderful 2022. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe and warm.
Story 4... I am sure all those who got to wear their wedding dresses to another wedding likely loved it. Likely brought back memories to them of their own wedding. The arriving in a motorcycle sidecar sounds fun. The priest, I agree with OP had fun with it, as he knew he wasn't likely to be doing his normal work.
First story, just a public service announcement, DON'T have your child's name on anything that is visible to the general public. You never know who is around and can see that and use it to hurt your child.
"Elf" story: The only saving grace for the Karen is that her kid is young enough he probably doesn't know the difference between an iPad and a much cheaper Android tablet. But if he does, momma's got some "splainin to do". Wedding dresses story: OP, all I can say is that it was very good of the dress shop to alert you to MIL's plans. Very high class indeed to not allow your day to be ruined like that. Lobbyist story: The truly stupid thing is that the lobbyist was so dumb she didn't expect Alex to tell his boss what the lobbyist had done or said. Really???
Oh my goodness! I love this lady and her mind! She did what I would never would have thought to do to her MIL and her SIL's. And I roared with laughter so much my poor little dog jumped up all startled. 🤣 What a brilliant idea for everyone who wanted to, they could wear their own wedding dress to all the festivities 😀! Wish I could have seen your dress. Sounds lovely btw. One of the best stories I've heard! And what's even more brilliant is its true! ❣️🙂
wedding dress showdown.. got you have to love petty. and wears the purple dress on occasion... HAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I would have dearly wanted to be a fly on the wall for that one.
I, as a 6foot 5inch guy (195cm), I get parents telling their kids to eat veggies and drink milk to be as tall as me... I tell the kid that it's not true as I (at the time didn't but now do) don't drink milk and I only eat meat and bread.
On the story about the wedding, I remember another post about a MiL wearing a white to her Son's Wedding. Problem was that the Son was marrying an Asian Indian who was Hindu. The ceremony was a traditional Hindu Wedding. The Bride traditionally wears a colored Saree (usually Red) which the DiL did wear. MiL was somewhat flabbergasted that she didn't ruin the Wedding. Also, since DiL already suspected MiL would do something like that, had some of her family members "handle" MiL during the whole wedding.
Story 4: So OP updated that "no one bought a wedding dress just for that day". Seems MIL and co did just that? Still, awesome way to turn it around on MIL.
Story 4: I love how compassionate OP was to the priest. Thought OP had suffered religion-based trauma, she was able to empathize with him. He, in turn, treated her with a respect that Mother-in-Law refused to give. So cool that they became friends and he emceed her wedding.
Story 5: If you want to get on someone's good side, you don't fuck with their secretary. Not only is it guaranteed to get back to them but good luck booking an appointment through their secretary after that.
Also all the other senators will hear about this within about a week, so she will pretty much never be able to get an appointment again to lobby any of them either. No matter the party they do not want to be tainted with association.
@@SeanBZA Secretary gossip is the only faster than light communication system in existance imo.
@@stoopingfalcon891 I can think of another place where gossip spreads faster then light.... High school. Gossip spreads faster then a cold in high school. Its worse now with phones and such.
@@SerenaSilverMoon Yeah, forgot about that one.
Yup, secretaries and receptionists are the gatekeepers. Piss them off at your own peril.
I like the one where MIL shows up in a wedding dress. One of the bridesmaids accidentally/purposely tripped and spilled red wine on it. That bridesmaid just happened to be one of the SIL's who didn't like mom.
That is a totally badass bridesmaid! MIL asked for it.
My own personal favourite wedding dress story:
Many years ago, a friend of mine was getting married. His stb wife was an amazing woman, but because she was, for want of a better way to put it, 'quiet', her fmil thought she could be treated as a doormat (there are a lot of stories about the MiL involved there). The stb wife never argued with her, never contradicted her, was always respectful to her. So, to cut a long story short, the Mil and both Sil turn up in ivory coloured dresses that were so close to being white that it made no real difference. Then at the ceremony, the door opened to admit the bride, and she walked in wearing what is in my opinion one of the most beautiful blue velvet dresses my wife and I have ever seen, with a white lace yolk. Her brother, who was walking her down the aisle, had the biggest crap eating grin on his face at the expression on the MiL and SiLs faces. The photos I had have long since disappeared, but the sour expressions they wore were so evident in the pics it was funny. My friend said to me later that day 'She might be quiet but don't try to screw with her'
Wedding story was great!!! What a wonderful idea: ladies wear their wedding gowns and you in fancy purple! Very genius.
Story 1: i have a permanent tracheostomy (22+ years) and wear a Shiley tube. About 4 years in , I was checking out at grocery store. At checkout in front of me a little boy asked his Mom what was wrong with me and what my tube was. She looked at him, then looked me in the eye and said: “Thats what happens to people who smoke cigarettes.” I was so shocked at her responseI did not correct her. I have SOSA (severe obstructive sleep apnea). Hopefully, it kept him from ever picking up a cigarette!
Wow! I would have taught her kids some new words.
What the flip! Oof
that lady was rude and insensitive
I was half expecting OP to say PS5 instead of an iPad, because as we all know, finding one at retail price is like trying to find the holy grail
@@Josh_the_jester *The command* "/give user PS5" *is invalid*
Steal my personal special pen? OH. HELL. NO.

That wedding story... That is a Lifetime movie I would watch!
Agreed! That was one of the funniest stories read in this post. But I disagree, I'll never watch a lifetime movie, ever!
@@PompetusDad I don't watch them either. But this one, I might tune in for, lol
How do I find women like OP in story 4? Not only is she badass, but she has the patience of a saint. That husband didn't even know how lucky he is during the story.
I bet he realized somewhere between seeing his family arriving in weeding dresses when they were asked not to, and shushing his own mother
Love that even with religious trauma she was chill and friendly with the priest. I am agnostic with an intense grudge against organised religion, but I also do not believe in punishing an individual for other peoples crimes just because they can get seen as part of a group. Unless someone religious acts like an ahole, they are deserving of basic human decency and the same respect and kindness I expect everyone to be treated with by default.
Story 4: someone need to give that dress shop owner a drink, he's the unspoken hero of this post, called the bride that relatives bought the same dress as her, real Chad move by that shop owner
Your bias is showing. 95% sure that the shop owner of the wedding store is likely a woman.
@@judycroteau482 not to sound Bias or anything but i can name like 3 Bridal shops in my town and all 3 are owned by men. That being said your comment is kinda Sexist in believing only women own dress shops. Also ikif you know this but most of the time in the English language if you dont know the sex of someone He is used.
@leemitchell7841 no not really. Nice making up grammar rules for fun 🤦♀️
@@Emeraldwitch30 yes actually
@@leemitchell7841 Strange, last I checked, in English the pronoun used for unknown sex/gender is "they/them", not "he/him" - "he/him" is the default neutral in many other languages, but not English. (Though it is traditional to presume some random sex/gender for specific roles, but that's cultural, not an aspect of grammar.)
I've heard the wedding story before and it never gets old. I love how the bride and groom got their petty revenge and enjoyed their unique wedding.
The two stories about Steve quitting his pain in the @$$ job to leave his Karen bosses high and dry during the holiday rush and the bride who wore purple to her wedding and told all her female gets to wear their own wedding dresses to 🤬 her Karen mother-in-law were the absolute best ones 🤩👍😄
Corrrection: no one bought a wedding dress for OP's all white dresses wedding... except for MIL n the SILs 🤣🤣🤣 I've heard that story before but I let it play thru anyway cuz it is so satisfying
Chronic illnesses are hard to handle, and having to be a caregiver and a spouse can be exhausting. But not a reason to bail, only to ask for help.
*But it's never a reason to be an A-hole
There, just corrected it a bit 😉
Story 4, that was a wedding I would have actually LOVED to go to!
Not my story, but a coworker's. We worked in a cafe together, I was the baker. She told me about working for a caterer who was setting up a wedding reception. The cake was being set up by a baker. The bride was there with her MIL to be, and the latter woman was acting terribly, trying to provoke the bride and giving her all sorts of insults, while the bride tried to back away. Upset she couldn't get the younger woman to react, the MIL stomped over to the wedding cake and slugged it. damaging it badly. The baker had to be hauled off of the MIL, and the FIL was sent for. He arrived saying "What's she done now/" That woman was allowed to attend the ceremony but not the reception.
Oh, hell no! I wouldn't have stopped the baker. That horrible b*tch deserved to be taken down. I'm not normally a violent person, but she was not only bullying the bride, but also ruined the cake! Both of those things would have had me going after her.
Story four: OP is a genius. I absolutely love her.
Story 4: I love these stories where someone tries to upstage a wedding out of spite, but the bride or groom found out in advance and prevented it in a creative way.
But really, if you value your own morality and want to keep a strong relationship with your family, don't upstage a wedding
Heard this story from Charlotte Dobre's channel and I was livid of what she has done... good for her to place her mother in law in her place
@@yachishairclips2250 hi fellow tater tot! I love Charlotte's channel, her reactions are sooo over the top perfect and her editors are the chefs 💋 of editing.
@@lynneconklin917 agreed all hail the Potato Queen
@@yachishairclips2250 I knew I had heard that story recently but couldn't place it! It was Charlotte's channel!
Read my comment about a different wedding story. That MIL did not know that in India the wedding dress is red and that white is for funerals. lol
Story 4 reminds me of another Reddit post where the bride was from India. The groom's mom asked her if she could wear white to the wedding. OP (bride) said yes. The groom was NOT happy until the OP reminded him that her dress would be red. MIL did not get any of the attention she wanted, but she was shamed by a child. Great story.
Oh, man. White is for funerals in most Eastern countries...
@@marjoriejohnston4905 That is why the MIL was shamed. MIL loved overshadowing her son's accomplishments. That is why he was so angry.
First story: shoulda said the kid was getting a puppy. Little kids get *way* more excited for pupies than Ipads, and if the parent does decide to get it to appease their snot gremlin, they're out way more money with recurring costs.
Yeah, but you cannot do that to a poor living being tough.
Wow, this is pure evil. Love it!
Steve should have went to workman's comp or labor board and reported them for overworking him on his day off and that way they would get a little bit of a kick in the butt for doing a shit trick like that.
Story 4, op has the patience of a saint to deal with that horrid MiL. If my MiL actually told my kids they were going to hell because they aren't baptized, there would be hell to pay and then NC. Also, when she gave them the silent treatment because she didn't get her way to humiliate op, she thought they would give up but in reality she made them happy and stress free. When she realized that it wasn't going the way she thought it would she finally gave up and put up a white flag when she realized that she wasn't going to win. Then FINALLY started behaving herself.
It's not even biblical as in Baptism is a sign of obedience. It's not required for salvation. By that I mean it's in the Bible, but you don't go to hell if you're not baptized. One of the criminals next to Jesus on the cross was told by Jesus that he would be in Paradise that day with him. Obviously the man didn't have time to get baptized before dying. That mil is the type of person that give actual Christians a bad name.
@@paulagoeringer9466 I agree 💯. I wouldn't have patience to deal with my MiL or anyone that spouts nonsense like that and I'm a Christian. Those people hide behind religion to get away with their BS.
That dress tailor deserves some praise as well, they called OP in advance and told her that mother and sister in law was planning on sabotaging her own wedding, by wearing white dresses, props to them
@@Josh_the_jester I agree, the tailor knew they were vile and up to no good. I also think they were trying to get back at op for telling them off and refusing to obey MiL.
@@onepieceisking5493 yes. They're usually the biggest hypocrites. They make my blood boil. I haven't been to church in years because of people like that and worse, the creeps who look to take advantage of any females regardless of age.🤮
I absolutely love the story about the wedding dress and I think people who do that should be restricted from attending weddings in the future.
Story 1: Pure genius on OP's part!
Story 2: D-Bag is basically Syndrome from the first Incredibles movie. I'm glad he got what was coming to him.
Last story, glad the priest and op gaibed a friendship out of the situation :D
Even so far he got to be at the wedding.
It sounds like it was fun ;D
I love the purple wedding dress story. The bride is a real badass woman. In a fight I want to be on her side.
The way she turned MIL & SILs evil plans to making them the laughing stock was brilliant.
Bride and Groom make a great couple.
Story 3: People quit bad managers/employers. Perhaps if they hadn't been so scummy, they wouldn't have lost such an efficient employee
And he was helping on his day off. He could've just done whatever he wanted besides work, but he decided to help.
The one thing I don't understand is why they're surprised that their golden goose stops laying eggs when their unhappy.
Hell, OP was extra generous for giving two weeks notice, it's not illegal to quit without notice
The MIL and SILs did stand out by being the only ones in the same dress! LOL how embarrassing!
I knew someone with Dwarfism who sometimes used to say he worked for Santa, but they were on holiday at the moment to very little kids who came up and asked him why he was so small (near Christmas). He also worked as an elf during Christmas, so sometimes the same kids would see him in costume and point. He would just wink at them and put his finger to his lips and say shhh. It made their day.
I love it when bosses/managers *know* an employee is their golden goose, but still treats them like crap & does the surprised Pikachu face when they quit
to all managers and employees. a write up is NOT valid until its signed by the person who the write up is about and anything that happens after refusing to sign the write up including firing the employee can be seen as retaliation for refusing to sign which can have the company sued.
After so many stories of husbands just blindingly being on their mothers' sides, it's refreshing to hear one where he understands what crossing a line looks like!
It's outrageous how many men develop the spines of a jellyfish when it comes to dealing with their mothers. Controlling MILs ruin SO many marriages, enabled by their sons. I was marriied to a woman much like these men, who let her narcissistic mother abuse me in more ways than 1 and like these men took her mother's side over her husband's. I finally walked away from that hell after 9 years. I should've done it a lot sooner.
I've heard the wedding story before and it's just _chef's kiss_
I wish I could see photos of it - a sea of white with three in purple must've been an awesome sight
I was in the US Army in the early '70s I went to my duty station one day, when I wasn't scheduled. I was on a step ladder, with the hood raised on a RCA studio TV camera doing some calibration when someone walked up behind me. They didn't introduce themselves, but a male voice asked, "What are you doing?" I replied, "I noticed a slight problem in this camera during our newscast, last bight. I needed someone in the studio to do this right, so I came in today to do it." He asked, "Why aren't you in uniform?" I laughed, "If I showed up in uniform, they would find plenty of time wasting crap to waste the rest of my day, and I worked 60 hours in the last three days." He laughed, "You wouldn't catch me near my duty section on my day off!" I was just finishing up when I glanced to see who it was. He had turned t leave, but he had two stars on each shoulder. It was General Marks, the Commander of the three Alaskan Army bases.
That kind of General is what inspires men to follow a leader even into hell and back. Cf. Admiral Halsey of WWII fame.
Awesome story, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
@@PanduPoluan I had more than one officer call me 'An insubordinate SOB', because what they wanted was not about to happen. They would say, I'm gong to call your general!" I would just laugh, and tell them, "Make sure to tell him that Michael said hello!". They had no idea that even though they outranked me, that I could have them arrested if they walked into the control/transmitter room. I even had a visiting general from the Pentagon call the station to demand I run a different movie one night, because he had already seen it. I hung up on him five times before he gave up. It was the last day of our weekly cycle, and all the other films were already packed and at Transportation to go to the next station, There was nothing else there to run, but he was bragging about making a phone call to his buddies in DC to get me locked up. I never heard from him again, but an E8 asked, "Why are you so hard on officers?" I laughed and replied, "I'm only hard on the ones who deserve it.
The E7 who was the station's supply Sargent refused to order projector bulbs for our 16mm film chain. He claimed that I was 'wasting them'. They were rated for a 20 hour life, but he insisted that 'light bulbs last for years' even though the bulbs, the box and the description listed 20 hour life. We were on air with over 16 hours of film, each day, and each projector held two bulbs. We were not a color station, and I was running them at reduced voltage, to squeeze an average 130 hours per bulb. If they were any dimmer, there was noticeable noise in the video. He did this after I rebuilt the station, and I used 1400 line items of parts while he was on leave for three weeks. He had taken al three sets of keys to the supply room with him. His, the managers and the set that was supposed to be given to the engineer. He was still leaving the station's parking lot when I went off air. I went over the wall to get the parts that I needed, then I continued working to repair every problem at the station. By the end, the total was around 2200 parts.
A call to the General's office had the inter base courier delivering six of them to me the next day, and a threat to bust him to an E1, if he ever did it again. He tried to take them from the courtier, but he looked down at him, "General Marks said to give these to Terrell, only!" He yelled, "If'n you eva goes ova my head again!" I laughed and said, "You won't have a head, if I have to. The General was ready to bust you to E1, but I told him to give you one more chance."
Hen he was there for my promotion, he told me that before I arrived, his office received over five file cabinet drawers of written complaints about the problems at the radio & TV station, but they had stopped right after I rebuilt the TV station and made some changes to the radio station. Then he said, "Your station was the biggest technical joke in this entire theater. It is now the smoothest running.
A couple years ago, I ran into someone who arrived after I left Alaska. He said that everything was still working flawlessly, until the station was shut down, about two years later. Some leaders do appreciated tech support, but others are stupid enough to piss off an engineer.
@@michaelterrell That's awesome man! Thank you for your service. Also, as I had expected, General Marks sounds really an awesome fella 👍🏼
@@PanduPoluan He was. He was i charge of three Army bases.
Our Base Information officer was just the opposite. He was a minority Lieutenant with a huge inferiority complex. He stormed into the control room while I was on the air and started screaming, "SOLDIER! I WAS JUST IN YOUR TV STUDIO AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! THE FLOOR HAS NO SHINE, AT ALL!"
I asked, "Who are you, and who gave you permission to enter a dangerous, restricted area?" He yelled, "I'm an officer!" I told him, "Look behind you and read the brass plaque on the wall behind your head." He turned. It gave the regulation number and it sated, 'Operator on duty is in complete command of this facility, and that they had the authority to have intruders arrested.' He turns and said "That doesn't apply to officers!" I laughed, "Sir? It applies to everyone on earth except the Commander in Chief, and the head of AFRTS, of which you are neither! As far as the studio floor, it is against regulations for the floor to shine because it will affect the TV cameras." He turned red and told me, "You can just slop some wax on it before you go on the air, but I damned well better be able to see my face in it tomorrow!"
I told him that not only did the studio have to be ready to use at a moment's notice, but doing his fool suggestion would damage the TV camera dollies. I sighed and asked, "Sir? Go read our SOP before you make an even bigger fool of yourself." He yelled that the SOP doesn't apply to him, because it is 'his station'.
I'm getting tired of this self important mimeograph machine operating fool. I'm busy running film which needs to be changed soon and trying to maintain proper audio and video levels. He pointed to a piece of equipment that was in pieces on the workbench and demanded, "What the hell is that?" I looked at the moron and told him that I was repairing, it between changing reels of film and monitoring the other equipment.
He gave me a nasty look, "Well it better be back together, and hooked up in whatever hole it came out of when you leave!" I told him that I would reinstall it once I was finished, because it was an off limits work area where he had no authority. I also told him that the station would be off the aair if I listened to his stupid 'command' if it was non functional, but connected to the other equipment.
He started jerking on the drawers in the workbench so hard that tools were flying out unto the floor. "This is a damned disgrace! These drawers need to be repainted, and the tools need to be polished!" I was fed up, and told him to leave.
Then he noticed a couple feet wide row of equipment manuals on the back corner of the bench! "What the hell are these?' "They are my equipment manuals." He sighed, "I'm going to lock them in my office, and I will issue them only if and when I deem it necessary!" I laughed, "Sir? I 'm afraid that if you even touch my manuals, I will have no other choice than to break your fingernails, all the way to your elbows." He turned red with anger, but it was obvious that I could easily do what
I threatened. (Just before I went on active duty, I got angry one day and picked up the short 389 block for my '66 Pontiac GTO, and I had worked in a TV shop where two of us would pick up some eight foot wide Zenith TVs that were marked, 'Use seven people or a forklift to move this console'.
He called me a SOB, followed with 'I'm calling the General!" As usual, I told him, "Tell him that Michael says hello!" "What the hell does that mean?" I laughed, "Oh, he'll gladly explain it to you. Not get your ass out of here before I call the MPs to have you arrested." He made the call, and got his ass handed to him. He never came into my area when I was there, again.
We were budgeted to convert the station to color, but he was telling everyone that it was impossible. I was soon tired of the phone calls when I was on air, asking if he was right. I hand made a 35mm slide with two lines of text, 'AFRTS' and 'Channel 8'. I borrowed a color bar generator (test equipment used to set up old color TV displays) and jury rigged a way to send our station ID in color, with no color equipment. Each vertical row of text was in a different color.
15 seconds later he is on the phone yelling, "Soldier! You just made a fool of me!" I laughed, "Sir? Don't you claim to be a self made man?" He slammed down his phone. I was there another seven months. He never spoke to me again, or even looked me in the eye. How was that supposed to bother me?
The sweet irony was that he was forced by the General to also right me a letter of commendation when I was leaving the base when I was at ETS.
One thing that you never do is make the receptionist mad. Tip for those that want to interview for an office position in the future. You want to make friends with the receptionist as they are the eyes and ears for the boss. Because after the interview, if the receptionist was treated well, they’ll back you up. If not, well, good luck to you on your next interview.
"Hi, Hunter. I hate to break this to you, but Santa is dead. There will be no christmas presents this year." Yes, I'm a cruel bastard.
Nah ... santa is in a coma and its all the bad mommies and daddies fault. Mommy and Daddy have to leave you at nanas to go help the sooner the better or their will be no christmas for anyone let alone you...
i think this could start a wonderful new wedding custom! invite all the married women to wear their wedding dresses to the ceremony!
Story 3: I would have refused to sign a write up.
Story 5: I hope the project LobbyAnn was pitching wasn't for a needed social project. It would be horrible if her stupidity hurt a lot of people by killing their funding.
I'd be letting the others involved in that project know exactly what kind of person LobbyAnn is and how she lost them the funding. I wonder how long it would be before she was replaced. I wonder how many other opportunities she had lost for them.
Im sure if it was that, the senator would have found a way to get funding while keeping lobbyann out of it
@@mrroboshadow I hope so, but the senator didn't even meet with her to know what the program was in the first place.
@@ellenparker3445 i mean im sure the subject of the meeting was brought up before
its like one of the first things they ask you when trying to schedule a meeting with any government official
so its a safe bet it wasnt anything major
Knowing how Ann treated Alex, it's likely she's trying to fund David Duke's Museum of Klan Pride.
It's a great idea that when you have an abrasive MIL to set up passwords with your vendors. No telling what someone like that will to louse up the wedding.
“That was the best coffee I’ve ever had.” First time a story involving Starbucks has ever used that phrase.
Story 4: people Ike the MIL and SIL are part of the reason I walked away from Christianity.
My minister actually said to me that my father was in hell bcs he wasn't baptized as an adult, but as a baby, therefore not making a conscious choice. Yeah, never stepped foot in any church since then.
Those women are christians in name only. They give actual Christians a bad name. I was raised around worse ones than them and I can't stand the hypocrisy.
Story 3... that write up... I would have had them amend that I was insubordinate on a time I was not on the clock and was not scheduled to do work on. But I would also never ever be doing work on time I am not being paid for.
Hunter and his iPad reminded me of a friend who once worked as a Mall Santa. Parents would "drop the kids off" with Santa while they went shopping. He would solemnly promise them that Santa would bring them EVERYTHING they wanted for Christmas, but sometimes Mommies and Daddies wouldn't hide some of the presents, so if they didn't get EVERYTHING that they asked for under the tree, Mommy and Daddy had hidden the presents. Lol
That wedding sounds so fun!
Story 4. I trust the Priest at some point had a few words with MIL and SIL regarding Christs' Second Commandment about loving your neighbour; such a reminder seemed overdue.
One of my daughter in laws wore a black and red dress and she looked beautiful. One of my boys got state licensed and officiated for his kid brother, who wore his dress uniform. It was a lovely simple affair like ours. We had the traditional Catholic Wedding Mass, and their's was a sweet family wedding in the event room at a local lake. Both couples are happily married. OP is right, it doesn't have to fit a certain mold. It's a ceremony to publicly state that you are a couple. It's the marriage that's the important part.
"Incandescent with rage" ?! Brilliant! 🤣🤣💜💜💣💣
That wedding dress story was super! And the wedding sounded like so much fun. I hate dresses, too. I got married in jeans.
Story 1 - Have to admit, I was NOT expecting the elf thing
I wouldn’t have signed the write up, like when goodwill tried to demote store manager Julie to assistant manager after being told that her store wasn’t making enough money within a month after Hurricane Irma (which ruined tons of donations people piled up outside the donation center and ruined products inside, like dresses, furniture, etc, as the ceiling tiles fell out and there were multiple leaks in the roof, which had been a problem for two years or so before the hurricane).
Needless to say, right in front of her boss, she gathered her things and walked out.
Story 2: There is also that if she goes to Israel she may not get to go back. Along with not having to go though with the divorce, in that country she would be his property being his wife... and could use blackmail or worse to get her to pay off his debt.
4th one; I guess no one knows how to make Wedding dresses into evening gowns anymore.that is what used to be done..🤔😁. Also I agree with the Bride about wasting Big Money on Dresses and Venue and instead use the Money for a House down payment, or pay off that Expensive new car..🚗☺
Oh my! That wedding sounds AMAZING! If I had to go or have one, I'd want it to be just like that! YES!
Stry 5: When you are asking for money, having your crap together is key. There's lots of people fighting for money. Still, most people would understand forgetting a pen. Or they could have said, "I love the pen, I'm so proud of your accomplishments doing X." But you always need to treat the people who manage an office well. They can lose mail or forget appointments and kill any future opportunities. And you should treat them well because they're people like everybody else.
Yeah, you don't want to antagonize the person that can make sure your paperwork gets "misplaced".
But people don't see that, they see a subordinate and look at such behavior to get someone who will be the subordinate they want. The senator is luckily not such a person like that. She respects her worker like they deserve. People are hard to get out of the old ways of thinking. I partially believe it because they suffered through it so this newer generation should. Instead of making it easy they prefer to give the same hurdles they had to jump through.
Wow! That wedding story is pure gold! 🤣
Love the malicious compliance’s wedding story.😂😅❤❤
Thanks boys. Sorry for not commenting on the last ones. Holidays were wild. Hope you both are doing great and keep it up!❤️
Story 4 - Well done, OP, but I would be leery of EVER letting that woman near your kids!
I already think it is tacky to wear white to a wedding, immature to wear a wedding dress if you aren't the bride. But going out of your way to wear an exact duplicate of the brides dress is a new low.
I love the idea of inviting guests to wear their wedding clothes to a wedding.
Story 3: It's always the most valued workers managers and supervisors will decide to treat terribly, and when these MVPs decide they had enough, things go bad very quickly.
I absolutely LOVE the wedding story!! That was AWESOME!!
Story one, OP should have also told the Mother she was on the naughty list.
Story #4, that sounds like THE most fantastic wedding ever!
OP in the second story got that last line wrong, he's not just a douchebag, he's probably a SINGLE douchebag. Well deserved after how he treated his wife when she got sick.
I had an accident that led to me being disabled, I can still walk, but the pain can be excruciating. Well, after a year and a half my now darling EX husband said to me "when are you gonna get better so I don't have to do everything for you and around the house?" That comment broke. Because, as bizarre as this sounds, I was jealous that he could stand and do the things I couldn't anymore. Like washing up, he could do it in 1 hit, whereas if I did it, I would have to take regular breaks because the pain would get too much to stand at the sink for longer than 5 minutes at a time. He made comments like a few times, but this was the first, and it will stay with me forever! But some people are just selfish dicks that open their mouth like that, without thinking about how their words will affect the other person.
AKA a-holes.
Wedding story: as a Christian myself I feel their response is EPIC lol. Mil got seriously served
My MIL wore white and included long gloves. I never said a word. She could not hurt me by this and our other wedding shenanigans way outdid this!😂😂
To the bride. Can we please be friends! I love you and you’re amazing!!!!!
Story 3 - Nicely done, but I think I'd have milked it a little more. For instance, after the boss started begging me to stay, I'd have said, "First, shred that writeup. Second, write up the manager for falsely accusing me." After they did that, then I'd have hemmed and hawed a little, and let them make a few more offers. Then I'd have said, "Let me think about it." Of course, my two-weeks' notice would still be in effect the whole time. I would have put off giving them a final answer as long as I possibly could, and then I'd have said, "Nope, I'm leaving."
I'd normally not support a politician avoiding their constituents, but i think i can make an exception for that story.
That wedding sounds like the absolute most fun wedding ever
19:41 I wouldn’t call that petty. To my mind, that’s Pro Revenge. 😂
"Thankfully she was in a country with stellar healthcare that saved her life."
So, not the US.
story 4: that MIL is likely not going to heaven, God doesn't like assholes (I mean, he _did_ throw lighting at some pretty mean people in the old testament lol)
either way, I hope the MIL enjoys her old age all alone. keep that up and those daughters might run away later as well. or maybe not, it's up in the air. hope it does happen though, she deserves it.
Petty revenge is one of my favorite subreddits. The stories are always hilarious and so satisfying!
WeddIng Dresses. Oh, beautiful! Just a wonderful way to.put MIL in place.
in the first story OPs' response was brilliant and funny as hell/ in the third story if I was steve I would ask for an amendment to be put into my contract that if I come in on my day off just to say hello and you demand that I start working you will pay me double time for the hours that I work on that day/ MAD PROPS to the dress shop who contacted OP and told her what her mil and sil's had done and SUPER MAD PROPS to OP for getting back at her mil and sil's in a TRULY GLORIOUS WAY AND I BET OP WALKED ON CLOUD NINE FOR A WEEK AFTER THAT and also KUDOS TO THE HUSBAND FOR FINALLY STANDING UP TO HIS MOM
I hope you and Stevie Boy have a very Happy New Year . I'm looking forward to 2023. Love your stories. Thank you for a wonderful 2022. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe and warm.
Story 4... I am sure all those who got to wear their wedding dresses to another wedding likely loved it. Likely brought back memories to them of their own wedding. The arriving in a motorcycle sidecar sounds fun. The priest, I agree with OP had fun with it, as he knew he wasn't likely to be doing his normal work.
First story, just a public service announcement, DON'T have your child's name on anything that is visible to the general public. You never know who is around and can see that and use it to hurt your child.
Story 5: Love the senator! She seems like a swell lady to serve under.
Omg a wedding where the guests are welcome to wear wedding dresses while the bride wear a punk dress would be so amazing to see!
Omg. I bow to the master in her purple dress! Absolutely loved it
"Elf" story: The only saving grace for the Karen is that her kid is young enough he probably doesn't know the difference between an iPad and a much cheaper Android tablet. But if he does, momma's got some "splainin to do".
Wedding dresses story: OP, all I can say is that it was very good of the dress shop to alert you to MIL's plans. Very high class indeed to not allow your day to be ruined like that.
Lobbyist story: The truly stupid thing is that the lobbyist was so dumb she didn't expect Alex to tell his boss what the lobbyist had done or said. Really???
After that treatment if I was Steve I would just walk off I wouldn't even give two weeks notice that'll really leave them in the lurch LOL
Walking down the aisle to the Immperial March.
Mother upset.
Sith approved.
Never set a president that you'll come in on your day off and do work. If you do the management will expect it all the time.
My favorite part of the wedding story was the Dr Evil shushing Scott!
Oh my Gosh. That was a brilliant comeback in the first story.
it's kind of amazing how much it pays to be good to people, or at least, not a jerk.
Oh my goodness! I love this lady and her mind! She did what I would never would have thought to do to her MIL and her SIL's. And I roared with laughter so much my poor little dog jumped up all startled. 🤣 What a brilliant idea for everyone who wanted to, they could wear their own wedding dress to all the festivities 😀! Wish I could have seen your dress. Sounds lovely btw. One of the best stories I've heard! And what's even more brilliant is its true! ❣️🙂
wedding dress showdown.. got you have to love petty. and wears the purple dress on occasion... HAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I would have dearly wanted to be a fly on the wall for that one.
I, as a 6foot 5inch guy (195cm), I get parents telling their kids to eat veggies and drink milk to be as tall as me... I tell the kid that it's not true as I (at the time didn't but now do) don't drink milk and I only eat meat and bread.
Loved the wedding story, your wedding, your say. Beautiful.
That sweet comeback in first story just had me crying with justice laughter
Story 4: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG, that was an epic revenge.
On the story about the wedding, I remember another post about a MiL wearing a white to her Son's Wedding. Problem was that the Son was marrying an Asian Indian who was Hindu. The ceremony was a traditional Hindu Wedding. The Bride traditionally wears a colored Saree (usually Red) which the DiL did wear. MiL was somewhat flabbergasted that she didn't ruin the Wedding. Also, since DiL already suspected MiL would do something like that, had some of her family members "handle" MiL during the whole wedding.
Story 4: So OP updated that "no one bought a wedding dress just for that day". Seems MIL and co did just that? Still, awesome way to turn it around on MIL.
Love the wedding story. I don't ever want to meet someone like her mil.
