That office CEO's son one I call fake as he uses words we don't say in Britain. We don't say 'bud' or say 'ma'am' and we call elevators, lifts. Neither do we normally have 'executive' floors!! Furthermore we would not say 'as if I'd lied to the Queen of England' there'd be no need to specify the country, all we'd say was 'as if I'd lied to the Queen'. Also as one other commenter here pointed out, why is the son using the CFO as a secretary running to fetch his father? The CFO would be able to clear up the matter herself and would have the authority to do so, being a very senior person in the company. Then, at the end his father moving him up to the 'executive' floor because the father doesn't have time to deal with that crap on a regular basis is nonsensical. His father only had to tell that security guard and the two office workers once and word would soon get around, there would be no need to keep correcting people! I know so many reddit stories are fake but this one is all kinds of stupid.
Perhaps the use of the phrase, where he specifically identified the Queen, was the clue that determined that they were not in the UK. In a country where there is no monarchy, identifying which country's Queen was being insulted would be necessary, as it could have been any country with a Queen, and since, to the world at large (generally), insulting the Queen of England seems to be an offense worthy of the most dire punishment. While it is true that the CFO had the authority to handle the situation, it may have been to prove a point to the office workers that OP was not someone to mess with, and if the CFO didn't mind contacting the CEO, then there was no problem. As for the "Executive floors", Some buildings have floors that are used by the executives, and the workers are stationed on other floors, as Administration and Productivity are often kept separate from each other a bit to prevent problems.
I think a lot of these are made up just for the sake of having people read them and, “like” the channel. I can believe people will deal Will idiots who treat them some of these ways. Such as the, “I don’t work here” stories. If I told someone this maybe twice, I would be walking away, and go about my business, NOT stand there and argue with them or listen to them berate me for no reason at all. If the physically grabbed me, I’m calling the police and the store manager myself....
I can relate to alot if these stories. One personal that comes to mind was when I was working for home depot. During spring things get crazy with all the garden sales and overnight is really the only time garden soils, mulches and landscaping block can be replenished. I spent a couple of seasons on this crew bringing in pallets of stuff in through the back garden gate. Since it's after hours, we don't have to wear our aprons, but usually did anyways from sheer convenience. Our store was also regularly patrolled by local police, driving around the building just for security purposes. One night myself and my supervisor were using a powerful spotlight reading product tags and bring in pallets of product. It being night, it was very hard to read labels even with security lights on. Well the police saw the spot and drove over to investigate. My supervisor was on the forklift while I used the spot to ID needed pallets. The police drove up, rolled down his window and asked if I worked there and what we were doing. I looked down at my very orange apron and said nope, we just thought they needed help bringing their stuff so we broke in and stocked up the garden. His partner started laughing and I grinned and with a chuckle the other cop yeah ok I deserved that. My supervisor came back out with the forklift, and after a short chat the police went on their way and we went on with our night. My supervisor who was a good guy and we worked well together said I can't believe you said that. I said I'm just glad they had a sense of humor as hindsight showed poking the bear was probably not the best idea. They of course still do their patrols and stop now and then to chat.
I remember having to refund a customer for a wireless mouse ( they were still new tech at the time) because he had to move the mouse still. He though wireless ment hands free for some reason.
Reminds me of the lady who thought "cruise control" meant the car drove itself (like auto-pilot) and climbed in the back seat to take a nap.The car crashed. As far as I know she was okay with minor injuries.
i'm discipline on all my tech (like fully maintained from dust, etc) 100% of the time it was always my hardware failing. XD well my brand new 2015 gtx 970 suddenly burned with no prior warning after just 2 days, and lga 1155 socket gigabyte MB were also burned (some capacitor) back in 2013.
So would I! I don't think that self-important brat should have been allowed to look at the ground, but could have been throttled to force an explanation for the Frank Burns type attitude he had displayed.
Why exactly didn't the CFO who was OF1 and OF2's superior, simply handle the problem? As the kid's father and CEO, I would have been angry that it had to get all the way to me, and one word saying he was the CEO's son would have made someone verify it quick like and in a hurry. The real world just doesn't work like that.....
I never realizes just how inept people actually are until I started listening to these stories. Imagine calling tech support for a loose cable? You mean you didn't check everything first? Nah, that would just be way too simple.
Yeah it one thing when it actual bug in the computer itself but a loose cord really?! Anyone who a little about computers knows that all the cords have to be in tight.
@@theresahall8206 and that some of them do easily get knocked loose - which can cause the computer to throw an absolute hissy fit about it depending on how things are setup/programmed.
The company was at fault - you have techs running around the city at all hours of the day and night, entering premises where they may never have been before and they don't provide ID? Really poor security..
Had that last episode happen to me about 40 years ago. I worked in a dealership parts dept. and had my uniform on when I stopped for gas at the neighborhood gas station on my way home. This was back in the days of full service gas stations and no pay at the pump. I had paid for my gas and was inside BSing with a couple people I knew when this woman out on the drive starts honking her horn. They had just started a self service lane a few months before and she had pulled up to the self serve pumps. She gets out of her car and storms into the station glaring at ME. She snaps, "YOUNG MAN, are you going to pump my gas or do I have to call your boss?!" I said, "I guess you'll have to call my boss but I don't think it will do any good." She gets even madder and one of the others starts laughing, she glares at him and says "OH, you think this is funny do you?" To which he replies "It's f#@%ing hilarious lady, he doesn't even work here plus you're parked at the self serve pump." She quietly turned, walked back to her car and drove away.
For the second one to be fair if I was alone in a building and some random person showed up in an area they were not suppose to be I would freak out too. If I was that knew though I think I would be a little more willing to let him verify who he was. Not saying she was right or that she didn't deserve to get fired later on for other reason's just that I 100% get where she is coming from.
It's really wierd the guy didn't have a company photo ID. I've never worked _anywhere_., outside of fast food or day labor and _sometimes even then_, even as a temp or contractor, where that wasn't necessary.
She worked somewhere that commonly had dirty, ragged people come in after hours as the majority of Environmental Science and Analysis labs do, it's their work environment, also her personal problem for not in her own words, three months of working their familiarizing herself with the entire team especially managerial members and staff members with direct by key access to the building
@@Casey_Bass First he said he’s never really there, second his title is really in name only. It’s who ever trained her fault. If they didn’t warn her about this and give her heads up about it. Also if you working alone at night and someone shows up unexpectedly, it freaks you out. Double so if you don’t know that person. As someone you has worked late at night. Had the cleaning people show up a day early with a new person, the first person I saw. Who the F are you. The regular cleaning person show up right away and I knew what was going on. I’ve even freaked out the cleaning people myself.
If any of you thinks loose cables will be our downfall. I want to tell all, that my parents couldn't figure out why their cam wasn't working, well uhm there is a piece of plastic covering it 😂😂
I don't know that she did anything wrong. Wouldn't Hobby Lobby also sell glue guns? Nothing wrong with asking someone if they happened to know where they were.
The kid store manager had it almost right. Hackers absolutely use that story to get access to computers and steal stuff. He should have called his manager, though. Also, the company should have issued ID badges in the first place.
And who walks into a business and walks into the back room without talking to the staff? I would have been suspicious because of his behaviour. Oh, and OP could also have called his manager to explain what was going on as well. Seems like enough blame for everybody here.
I'm not surprised that young lady was scared when OP walked in. She'd never seen him and he must have looked like a homeless person (The way he described himself)!!
@@1701spacecadet thats kind of why you wear "formal" clothes at "formal" events buddy. In this case he isnt wrong but i guess she shouldnt have been so rude
No matter what side of the bed I wake up on, this channel and a new video are always here and waiting. Your videos are a great way to start the day, they never cease to make me smile.. though also wonder if I really should go out in public today or not, haha. Keep up the good work, and I know more people will find this awesome channel!
Woman in story #2 had the right to be nervous and protective of her business. If that is why she was fired, I hope she considered suing. The other stories were interesting.
@Wes Prang -- good points! There is never quite enough information in most stories, a fact which we can often ignore, but in these cases, the stories make the teller look good and everyone else look bad. #1: why overwork an employee and send him/her to a dangerous part of town (where the Assistant Manager probably _lived_ ? #2: (as I've already noted); #3: similarly, we don't know what the business was, but employees worried about security need to know important info. Was the 18 year old even introduced to the other employees? Maybe he just turned up? Why not question that? And he didn't have his wallet? That's stupid...
@@ianmoseley9910 -- It was said that she was sacked for being "rude", but we know of only the one incident in her short tenure at that company. Maybe her replacement will let anybody in and we'll hear a story about how much that "I do work here" person lost for the company for being "nice". That would be fun to learn!
@@debbys-abqnm4537 she could have been rude like he said or maybe she actually just left and he misremembered, and for The Son of the CEO, how would nobody in the company know that he isnt the CEOs son they would have had to see them talking or accidentally seen the CEOs name in his contacts, and that's the very least, also even if he was 15 and pretending to work there 15 year olds dont really have ID and also if he was 15 and the guard Touched him couldnt he claim that the guard just touched a minor and he feels uncomfortable, also if The Guard kicked him out and it was a child couldnt he get charged for child abandonment (I dont really know)
I worked for Bellsouth as a middle manager for 32 years. We had some good upper management but we also had some true asses. One had ZERO people skills. He was our regional Vice President and if you entered the elevator with him he immediately would grab his Bluetooth and pretend to be communicating with someone. Of course we all knew they don’t work in the elevators. Well after he had been with us 6 months one of his managers retired. Bozo actually came to his party but congratulated THE WRONG MAN. The man he congratulated had retired a year before he arrived. The correct manger was standing next to him. He didn’t even recognize his own staff. A week later one of our sales reps also retired. Again he showed up and announced he didn’t have to know what she looked like. All he needed to know she worked there for 20 years. What an asshole
to ALL security guards everywhere. you had better learn 1 important fact about your job. you do NOT have the legal authority to ask for anyones ID ever especially when someone is already on the property you are working on. doing so can actually get you arrested for impersonating a police officer which is a felony.
Roseheart Toxic - I have to admit I was dull-witted when I read your comment. I could not make sense of it. "Throughout" is a word. I read fast and I did not get it. A little bit later I read it again and it dawned on me that you meant 'threw out'. LOL Boy, I'm slow.
I'm guessing the manager was in the back room while the assistant manager was the one who denied access to the tech. It's also possible that the manager was attempting to print something from a remote location over the store network and was getting an error message (the OP did say that the problem was a loose printer connection).
Yeah that second one. A woman working alone late, thinking she's alone in the building and some guy in a tattered shirt comes in. I get why she panicked.
@James Stewart Your point stands about a random scruffy-looking guy, but I haven't seen an actual typewriter in an office for probably more than 15 years. At least.
I called IT because I was having problem with my computer. He tried to troubleshoot it over the phone. Then he came down to our office (not in the same building). Sigh... Yes, I was one of those whose cable was loose. Quite embarrassing. After that, I Always make sure All the Cables and phone lines are securely attached before I call IT.
A good IT person will ask the obvious question about the cables. It irates the 9 out of 10 who have legit problems but save enough time and money (not to mention embarrassment) from the 10th person to make it worthwhile.
@@katherinkeegan8601 To be fair I had that happening to me when younger (not IT dep. though for obvious reasons), the thing is, I had checked the cable a few times, I'd made sure it was connected, I'd disconnected and reconnected it etc., but as soon as I was told to check the cable and I'd rolled my eyes saying that I've already done that and demonstrable redid it - It worked. I heard that one for years!
Actually, the Native Americans (which is where we get the totem pole concept from) would put the chieftain on the bottom and the workers at the top. So there's something to pass on next time someone tells you you're at the bottom of the totem pole.

Because people are stupid. You have no idea how many idiots in operations don't even know how to reboot a computer. I've gotten so many calls about computers not working, and they end up being unplugged. Not. Even. Joking.
some people are so intimidated by technology a PC might as well be a box of black magic to them. all they see is a million parts, most of which look the same. so they never even consider check the obvious stuff, cuz nothing's obvious to them.
@@oldfrend: I'm not sure if it is intimidation, completely, with some people. Some people may simply be ignorant of things. My maternal grandmother, born shortly after the beginning of the twentieth Century, didn't know,(or evidently didn't want to learn) how to use a telephone, and would not get one herself. In many cases, if "Ignorance is bliss", these days, some people are so ignorant about so many things/issues, that they should be deliriously happy all the time.
When my son worked at Radio Shack, he would field some of the service calls. A number of problems were caused by unplugged equipment, but callers resented being asked to make sure things were plugged in. The service staff dealt with this by mentioning that the plug was polarized, and might be plugged in incorrectly, and could they check.
For story 1: I would be op's boss/manager after hearing how the restaurant manager had literally Zero communication with his employee about the tech guy coming over... I'd immediately blacklist the restaurant after that shenanigan and that shitty attitude. If they want service they might as well smile for it or wallow in there misery.
Can we blame the lady in the second story yeah she was let go but that's what happens when you work with a company that has people that goes out in the field but she could've handled it a little better
Funny tech story: When I had just left Secondary School (High School) I at College doing a graphic design course (over 20 years ago). My dad, who was an industrial electrician (now retired) was going to replace the wall plug my PC was connected to (on his day off). Well a few hours in I got a call on my mobile phone, with my dad frantic that he broke my computer somehow and asked how to find out what was wrong. Well after 10 minutes of me trying to go through basic things with him, I heard my mum say "Did you remember to plug it back in?". The line was quiet for a few seconds until I heard my dad swear and apoligise to me. All I could hear until he hung up the phone was my mum n the background laughing her head off. My dad Still gets embarrassed by it, decades later, so I don't bring it up too much LOL
With the second one, it may have been better for the tech' to have 'phoned the manager - kid might have been too young/scared to wake him/her at that time.
LMAO, I'm 21 but I'm always either given that "Are you kidding me?" parental look from store clerks and carded on a regular basis. So I asked the man working behind the counter once, he'd carded me when I went to buy a simple $5 scratch and win ticket, Not to be rude or anything, I made that clear, I wasn't mad. I was rather amused actually that he didn't think I looked my age. But anyway, I asked him how old he'd pegged me at. Not even a second had passed before he blatantly blurted out 15! And Oh, did I laugh. Told him I would be happy as could be if I could keep looking 6 years younger than my actual age up into my 40's and I'd be absolutely golden =) He and I had a good laugh about it and I went back home and called my parents to tell him that I'd gotten carded again and that the man said I looked about 15. They laughed a little bit and told me maybe I shouldn't be living in a 5000+ square foot house on my own if people are mistaking me for a teen, that they'll probably start getting calls from the police saying they'd left their child unattended. It hasn't gone quite that far, but even though our town doesn't have a curfew for minors, I am stopped fairly regularly by the police asking what I'm up to when I'm strolling back home from the convenience store with a bag of snacks and my headphones in listening to some music while I walk. It's usually the simple "hello, how's it going, where you headed tonight?" Then a friendly "Take care." when they realize that I'm not the least bit nerved up by their presence. I work for the CAF, to begin with, and I've always just seen people as people, faults and all. My dad's a Christian minister, doesn't mean he can't throw his weight around if he needs to. While not violent or overly confrontational, if you're being unreasonably cruel to someone on the street, or you threaten him or our family, in any way, then he will step in no doubts about that. So I was pretty laid back, heck I would have split a chocolate bar with them if covid19 hadn't been an issue. But, yeah. Told them I was headed back with a late snack, held up the bag and shrugged. Heck, they could have followed me home, the house is in the dead centre of the small town right across from the grocery store and subway. a straight line through the main street from house to circle K and I had my receipt and I knew I didn't do anything wrong so why panic?
LMAO RELATE TO THE THIRD STORY (because my dumb ass posted this before actually finishing my comment) I went into a liquor store and presented my ID. The server gave me one of the most whiplashed filled faces showed it to his workmate, who fortunately said 'yeah, that's legit' and all the while my mother is losing her shit in the background. Then there's the whole, trying to serve people who think I'm twelve but I firmly respond with 'I'm nineteen'they look like they're about to die of a heart attack with my manager losing his shit in the background.
Damn, they produce business cards for you quickly. I have to wait two weeks sometimes for new business cards and you got them in a matter of minutes. I’m impressed.
When me and my older brother were under 13, we were always the same size so people thought we were fraternal twins, we're not, I'm 2 years younger. After we hit our teens my brother proved to have a baby face and I...well I didn't. I'll put it this way, I had a full beard when I was 16, (actually grew it as 15 but it had bald spots until I was 16) and my brother was asked, when he was 31 what high school he goes to. Me on the other hand at best look my age. I envy my brother for that sometimes.
Printer Cables and Power Cords, always the same. Very short story, but while I was in College, one of the professor called me to her office. I was a work study for the BINFO System Department. The problem was the power cord had been knocked out by her foot. Of course she said one that she checked that and two it was a test of me.
Worked at an aerospace company, engineer with PhD complains his computer terminal not working no power, , I asked if he check make sure was plugged in since had a problem with housekeeping unplugging other stuff to run vacuums in the offices. Got yelled at over the phone that he was smart enough to know if was plugged in and needed to get it fixed ASAP. So went over and looked down huffed, bent over plugged the terminal back in and started working, snarled and left.
Middle story. If I'd been a young woman working on my own in an office late in the evening (why is that even happening?) I would have been exactly the same as her if a strange, dirty man walked in. If I'd been fired for trying to protect their office (from a tramp or a boss, still a stranger to me) I would have taken them for unfair dismissal. So unfair!!
I'm guessing that she decided to wrap something up. There's always a chance that she was let go because she was rude to other people (and he's just repeating what he heard) but there's no way to know but I agree if her being fired has anything to do with what happened there she'd (IMO) be in her right to sue.
Sleep deprived. If you don't get enough sleep, you don't/can't think. Personally I would have gone over the bosses' head to his boss after being put through this after the first month. His boss deserves to have to do it for two weeks in a row. Maybe then he would be a better boss after having to follow his own bad rules/decisions.
That kind of problem usually is because one person has no personal power and so they pick on people younger than them so that they won't get the backlash they'd get if they did it to a grown person.
"Office shared with the CFO's son..." Let me guess: This is the second time that kind of incident had happened, the first one was with the CFO's son... 😆
I went to the same convince store for 11 years. Driving a company truck, wearing a company shirt and using a company credit card. I stopped to get gas grabbed my credit card, went to pay for the gas. The clerk asked for identification. I said my wallet was in the truck. She I need it, now or I call the police. I ask what are the chances I stole the truck, credit card and shirt. She I don't care. She was fired the next day.
As to the first story mk or more acurately pk as in punk kid got his lying but in trouble and hus ego deflated just like the mis manager. They bith got shut down and are lucky to still have job. As to the second story the lady was understandably concerned but her rude behavior towards other employees was her downfall. As to the third story both of those individuals should have been fired. As to the last story that person admitted her mistake unlike others that cant admit when they are wrong.
Second one seemed rather dumb. A woman in a building alone is shocked that a man has entered and is saying he works here when she has never seen him work there... seems very sensible and plausible to me...
That 2nd one was a bit sad- she wasn't a Karen exactly, she just had a Karen moment cos she was scared...but I guess if those Karen moments add up...the last one wasn't a Karen either, that was just sweet
Sounds to me like you need to make the rules for calling more specific. I think this falls on your shoulders for not doing a better job training your employees.
Not exactly the same, but. . . Back in 99 I use to work at our local Taco Bell. On one side was a Carl's Jr. and on the other was a McDonald, and a Dairy Queen and Wendy's across the street. I am taking orders at the counter one day. We just got our lunch rush and things were calming down. When enters an old man. He proceeds to the counter. I say, Welcome to Taco Bell. What can I get you? The old man starts saying, I'll take a 6 piece, mash potatoes and gravy, biscuits and. . . I cut him off right there, and politely say, I am sorry sir but we do not have any of those items. If you go next door to Carl's Jr. they'll have what you want. The old man looks around the restaurant, then back at me and says, Oh. Thank you. My wife would kill me if she had seen me do this. We both laughed, and he left to go get some chicken.
Retail workers think they're the most special group of people on the planet. Dont work if customer service in you think serving customers such a hassle
Use to work for Target, had a friend who worked there as well. One day he went into a Kroger's in full Target Regalia and was promptly stopped by at least 5 people asking him where something is. I would have the same issue wearing red and khaki walking into a Wal-Mart as people would just see the Khaki and assume I worked there. Though my favorite day was when I was in Walmart wearing just a black shirt and jeans and this young kid was swearing up and down to his mom that I must work at Walmart. Note: I had worked for Walmart from 01 to 05 in a different state.
I still don't believe story 3. It sounds too American - firing somebody for mistaken identity is pretty much out of it: you'd have an industrial claim there. plus who refers to the Queen of England? She was The Queen. She was queen of the whole bang shoot, the whole of the UK. And ID? We have stuff to use as ID, but it's not mandatory.
1: all this just because the workers are too lazy to put the freaking wire back into the Printer? Ho-ly Crap. 2: Moral of the Story Kiddies: Read, Common Sense and Manners. 3 things that will help you keep your job. Don't be like Karen. 3: Both OFs should be fired, they're BOTH to blame. 4: Maybe you should learn how to read love. But at least this story was more gentler compared to the other 3. And before anybody leaves me a comment of "theses Story are fake" or "You do know these stories aren't real, right?". Let me put this as simply as possible. I... Don't... Care. And if it is fake, show some evidence before stating the fact. And please spare me the whole "Can you prove this is real?" because I'm only commenting on these videos just to state my own opinion on each story as last I checked, freedom of speech is allowed. But leave a negative comment, you'll just get a "Shamalamamoomoo" in return ^^
I agree. I comment on shows, movies, and books knowing full well they are fictions. I would do the same here regardless including if I think one is truly fake.
@@MrBeevee5 Exactly. They keep saying these stories are fake and yet they don't back it up with proof. Fake or Real, I like listening to these stories.
I can believe stories like that are real because 1 simple fact. Tldr I've seen the turn it off and back on before. My job is restaurant maintenance, repairs not cleaning, sometimes we get calls about water heaters not working. I got called out to 2 different locations in like the past month, last one was on Monday, where their water heater wasn't working. They both had the same issue. There is a display that tells you what the fault is and what to do. For the most part you need to be certified to be authorized to work on them so the manufacturer knows someone that knows what they're doing is checking them out because you need to be able to test the part that it says is causing the fault. These both said "auto test complete/passed" and in the description to "recycle power to resume normal operation" basically turn it off and on again, think of a computer doing an update and needing to restart. There's a switch on the front by the display that puts it in standby but doesn't turn off the power. Both times all i had to do was follow the power cord from the water heater to the light switch that turns off the power to that water heater. I hate changing for something that simple but since it was a call out and the second one was like 30 minutes away, first was 5 minutes from my house, we have to charge so the manufacturer knows we went out there. And if they read the display and turned it off and on like it said it would save them how ever much they get charged, so yes I can see someone calling out because they can't be bothered to check something simple. And yes I informed the manager exactly what I did that way if it happens again 1 they don't have to pay someone to go out there to do 10 seconds of work and 2 if it's busy and we can't get out there for a while they're not without hot water.
OynxWolf11 I once saw someone in one of these comments sections claim a story was fake because there was no video evidence. It's an incredibly stupid rebuttal, yet they acted like it was some epic mic drop moment that completely justified their claim of it being fake.
That office CEO's son one I call fake as he uses words we don't say in Britain. We don't say 'bud' or say 'ma'am' and we call elevators, lifts. Neither do we normally have 'executive' floors!!

I can relate to alot if these stories. One personal that comes to mind was when I was working for home depot. During spring things get crazy with all the garden sales and overnight is really the only time garden soils, mulches and landscaping block can be replenished. I spent a couple of seasons on this crew bringing in pallets of stuff in through the back garden gate. Since it's after hours, we don't have to wear our aprons, but usually did anyways from sheer convenience. Our store was also regularly patrolled by local police, driving around the building just for security purposes. One night myself and my supervisor were using a powerful spotlight reading product tags and bring in pallets of product. It being night, it was very hard to read labels even with security lights on. Well the police saw the spot and drove over to investigate. My supervisor was on the forklift while I used the spot to ID needed pallets. The police drove up, rolled down his window and asked if I worked there and what we were doing. I looked down at my very orange apron and said nope, we just thought they needed help bringing their stuff so we broke in and stocked up the garden. His partner started laughing and I grinned and with a chuckle the other cop yeah ok I deserved that. My supervisor came back out with the forklift, and after a short chat the police went on their way and we went on with our night. My supervisor who was a good guy and we worked well together said I can't believe you said that. I said I'm just glad they had a sense of humor as hindsight showed poking the bear was probably not the best idea. They of course still do their patrols and stop now and then to chat.
I remember having to refund a customer for a wireless mouse ( they were still new tech at the time) because he had to move the mouse still. He though wireless ment hands free for some reason.
Hilarious! Did he think it worked with mind control?
@@michels.9965 Qqq
Reminds me of the lady who thought "cruise control" meant the car drove itself (like auto-pilot) and climbed in the back seat to take a nap.The car crashed. As far as I know she was okay with minor injuries.
Checking cables and rebooting solves 90% of the problems 70% of the time.
Or just turning it on.....
Mostly
60% of the time, it works every time
i'm discipline on all my tech (like fully maintained from dust, etc)
100% of the time it was always my hardware failing. XD
well my brand new 2015 gtx 970 suddenly burned with no prior warning after just 2 days, and lga 1155 socket gigabyte MB were also burned (some capacitor) back in 2013.
Rebooting my pc made it caught on fire i guess im the 0.00000000001%
I want to know the conversation that took place between OP and the SM AFTER the printer cable was plugged in.
And I'd rather have sprite & skittles on a hot summer day, but eh... what can you do?
So would I! I don't think that self-important brat should have been allowed to look at the ground, but could have been throttled to force an explanation for the Frank Burns type attitude he had displayed.
Why exactly didn't the CFO who was OF1 and OF2's superior, simply handle the problem?
As the kid's father and CEO, I would have been angry that it had to get all the way to me, and one word saying he was the CEO's son would have made someone verify it quick like and in a hurry.
The real world just doesn't work like that.....
Brad T yeah probably didn’t happen. Also I don’t even think he was British, like he call a lift an elevator.
Well, he demanded to go get his dad which she did. He didn't expect them to arrive longer.... But idk lol
I never realizes just how inept people actually are until I started listening to these stories. Imagine calling tech support for a loose cable? You mean you didn't check everything first? Nah, that would just be way too simple.
Yeah it one thing when it actual bug in the computer itself but a loose cord really?! Anyone who a little about computers knows that all the cords have to be in tight.
@@theresahall8206 and that some of them do easily get knocked loose - which can cause the computer to throw an absolute hissy fit about it depending on how things are setup/programmed.
I've worked IT before, you would not believe how dumb some people are especially in the fastfood restaurant business.
Tammohawk yes and not informing other employees that you called tech support, and by not being there to make sure TS was allowed in the back office!
The company was at fault - you have techs running around the city at all hours of the day and night, entering premises where they may never have been before and they don't provide ID? Really poor security..
As if some random fifteen year old kid is gonna just walk in off the street and start playing "office worker". 😆
Had that last episode happen to me about 40 years ago. I worked in a dealership parts dept. and had my uniform on when I stopped for gas at the neighborhood gas station on my way home. This was back in the days of full service gas stations and no pay at the pump. I had paid for my gas and was inside BSing with a couple people I knew when this woman out on the drive starts honking her horn. They had just started a self service lane a few months before and she had pulled up to the self serve pumps. She gets out of her car and storms into the station glaring at ME. She snaps, "YOUNG MAN, are you going to pump my gas or do I have to call your boss?!" I said, "I guess you'll have to call my boss but I don't think it will do any good." She gets even madder and one of the others starts laughing, she glares at him and says "OH, you think this is funny do you?" To which he replies "It's f#@%ing hilarious lady, he doesn't even work here plus you're parked at the self serve pump." She quietly turned, walked back to her car and drove away.
For the second one to be fair if I was alone in a building and some random person showed up in an area they were not suppose to be I would freak out too.
If I was that knew though I think I would be a little more willing to let him verify who he was. Not saying she was right or that she didn't deserve to get fired later on for other reason's just that I 100% get where she is coming from.
It's really wierd the guy didn't have a company photo ID. I've never worked _anywhere_., outside of fast food or day labor and _sometimes even then_, even as a temp or contractor, where that wasn't necessary.
She worked somewhere that commonly had dirty, ragged people come in after hours as the majority of Environmental Science and Analysis labs do, it's their work environment, also her personal problem for not in her own words, three months of working their familiarizing herself with the entire team especially managerial members and staff members with direct by key access to the building
@@Casey_Bass First he said he’s never really there, second his title is really in name only. It’s who ever trained her fault. If they didn’t warn her about this and give her heads up about it. Also if you working alone at night and someone shows up unexpectedly, it freaks you out. Double so if you don’t know that person. As someone you has worked late at night. Had the cleaning people show up a day early with a new person, the first person I saw. Who the F are you. The regular cleaning person show up right away and I knew what was going on. I’ve even freaked out the cleaning people myself.
Deborah Shaw You calmly ask him what up. You don’t act like a nutcase
@@NeoCreo1 Are you male or female?
If any of you thinks loose cables will be our downfall. I want to tell all, that my parents couldn't figure out why their cam wasn't working, well uhm there is a piece of plastic covering it 😂😂
yeah, blame your parents.
:Sorry, I didn't know where I was" Love that! Happens to me on occasion too. Lol
That was a LOL moment - brilliant but I feel for the poor girl.
I don't know that she did anything wrong. Wouldn't Hobby Lobby also sell glue guns? Nothing wrong with asking someone if they happened to know where they were.
Happened a lot when I wrote checks at stores predebit cards
The kid store manager had it almost right. Hackers absolutely use that story to get access to computers and steal stuff. He should have called his manager, though.
Also, the company should have issued ID badges in the first place.
And who walks into a business and walks into the back room without talking to the staff? I would have been suspicious because of his behaviour. Oh, and OP could also have called his manager to explain what was going on as well. Seems like enough blame for everybody here.
I'm not surprised that young lady was scared when OP walked in. She'd never seen him and he must have looked like a homeless person (The way he described himself)!!
So you just instantly just judge someone on their appearance?
@@1701spacecadet A lot of people do that. It's nothing new.
@@1701spacecadet thats kind of why you wear "formal" clothes at "formal" events buddy. In this case he isnt wrong but i guess she shouldnt have been so rude
@@1701spacecadet well if I go to a restaurant and the first staff I see looked like ragged and dirty, I would judge the whole restaurant.
No matter what side of the bed I wake up on, this channel and a new video are always here and waiting. Your videos are a great way to start the day, they never cease to make me smile.. though also wonder if I really should go out in public today or not, haha. Keep up the good work, and I know more people will find this awesome channel!
Woman in story #2 had the right to be nervous and protective of her business. If that is why she was fired, I hope she considered suing. The other stories were interesting.
@Wes Prang -- good points! There is never quite enough information in most stories, a fact which we can often ignore, but in these cases, the stories make the teller look good and everyone else look bad. #1: why overwork an employee and send him/her to a dangerous part of town (where the Assistant Manager probably _lived_ ? #2: (as I've already noted); #3: similarly, we don't know what the business was, but employees worried about security need to know important info. Was the 18 year old even introduced to the other employees? Maybe he just turned up? Why not question that? And he didn't have his wallet? That's stupid...
Did not say she was sacked for this specific incident ...
@@ianmoseley9910 -- It was said that she was sacked for being "rude", but we know of only the one incident in her short tenure at that company. Maybe her replacement will let anybody in and we'll hear a story about how much that "I do work here" person lost for the company for being "nice". That would be fun to learn!
@@debbys-abqnm4537 she could have been rude like he said or maybe she actually just left and he misremembered, and for The Son of the CEO, how would nobody in the company know that he isnt the CEOs son they would have had to see them talking or accidentally seen the CEOs name in his contacts, and that's the very least, also even if he was 15 and pretending to work there 15 year olds dont really have ID and also if he was 15 and the guard Touched him couldnt he claim that the guard just touched a minor and he feels uncomfortable, also if The Guard kicked him out and it was a child couldnt he get charged for child abandonment (I dont really know)
I worked for Bellsouth as a middle manager for 32 years. We had some good upper management but we also had some true asses. One had ZERO people skills. He was our regional Vice President and if you entered the elevator with him he immediately would grab his Bluetooth and pretend to be communicating with someone. Of course we all knew they don’t work in the elevators.
Well after he had been with us 6 months one of his managers retired. Bozo actually came to his party but congratulated THE WRONG MAN. The man he congratulated had retired a year before he arrived. The correct manger was standing next to him. He didn’t even recognize his own staff.
A week later one of our sales reps also retired. Again he showed up and announced he didn’t have to know what she looked like. All he needed to know she worked there for 20 years.
What an asshole
Maybe he had Prosopagnosia?
That last one kind of worrying but also hilarious somebody help her she has no idea where she is😬😅😂
to ALL security guards everywhere. you had better learn 1 important fact about your job. you do NOT have the legal authority to ask for anyones ID ever especially when someone is already on the property you are working on. doing so can actually get you arrested for impersonating a police officer which is a felony.
In the first story, how did the manager know his computer wasn't fixed when he admitted that he hadn't been there?
The stupid one that through out the Tech told him
Roseheart Toxic - I have to admit I was dull-witted when I read your comment. I could not make sense of it. "Throughout" is a word. I read fast and I did not get it. A little bit later I read it again and it dawned on me that you meant 'threw out'. LOL Boy, I'm slow.
I'm guessing the manager was in the back room while the assistant manager was the one who denied access to the tech. It's also possible that the manager was attempting to print something from a remote location over the store network and was getting an error message (the OP did say that the problem was a loose printer connection).
@@melkiorwiseman5234 I'd like to know if a second trip was billed and the idiots paid for them both. A stupid tax would have been in order as well...
The manager weren't there when the tech arrived at the restaurant, but came back while the tech was driving back to his home.
Yeah that second one. A woman working alone late, thinking she's alone in the building and some guy in a tattered shirt comes in. I get why she panicked.
@James Stewart Your point stands about a random scruffy-looking guy, but I haven't seen an actual typewriter in an office for probably more than 15 years. At least.
I think she was let go because she is rude in general
I called IT because I was having problem with my computer. He tried to troubleshoot it over the phone. Then he came down to our office (not in the same building). Sigh... Yes, I was one of those whose cable was loose. Quite embarrassing. After that, I Always make sure All the Cables and phone lines are securely attached before I call IT.
A good IT person will ask the obvious question about the cables. It irates the 9 out of 10 who have legit problems but save enough time and money (not to mention embarrassment) from the 10th person to make it worthwhile.
@@katherinkeegan8601 To be fair I had that happening to me when younger (not IT dep. though for obvious reasons), the thing is, I had checked the cable a few times, I'd made sure it was connected, I'd disconnected and reconnected it etc., but as soon as I was told to check the cable and I'd rolled my eyes saying that I've already done that and demonstrable redid it - It worked. I heard that one for years!
Loose cable will be our undoing. Always check your computer. Keep up the good work. Love the videos.😂😂😂😂
Actually, the Native Americans (which is where we get the totem pole concept from) would put the chieftain on the bottom and the workers at the top. So there's something to pass on next time someone tells you you're at the bottom of the totem pole.
That damned cable is a tricky little traitorous SOB, ain't he?

I love your tone telling these stories. Makes the narration sound way more cranky and 100% done
Lol why would you not check the cables before calling a tech at 3am.
Because people are stupid. You have no idea how many idiots in operations don't even know how to reboot a computer. I've gotten so many calls about computers not working, and they end up being unplugged. Not. Even. Joking.
Stupidity and laziness. Probably didn't know much about computer wiring, either, or how to check for loose cables/plugs.
some people are so intimidated by technology a PC might as well be a box of black magic to them. all they see is a million parts, most of which look the same. so they never even consider check the obvious stuff, cuz nothing's obvious to them.
@@oldfrend: I'm not sure if it is intimidation, completely, with some people. Some people may simply be ignorant of things. My maternal grandmother, born shortly after the beginning of the twentieth Century, didn't know,(or evidently didn't want to learn) how to use a telephone, and would not get one herself.
In many cases, if "Ignorance is bliss", these days, some people are so ignorant about so many things/issues, that they should be deliriously happy all the time.
I don’t know why people are giving u 👎 your stories are the BEST. Sending you love from Tucson Az!!!🌵☀️🌵☀️🌵☀️❤️🌵❤️🌵
When my son worked at Radio Shack, he would field some of the service calls. A number of problems were caused by unplugged equipment, but callers resented being asked to make sure things were plugged in. The service staff dealt with this by mentioning that the plug was polarized, and might be plugged in incorrectly, and could they check.
Awww! At least the woman in the last story had the good grace to apologise.
For story 1: I would be op's boss/manager after hearing how the restaurant manager had literally Zero communication with his employee about the tech guy coming over... I'd immediately blacklist the restaurant after that shenanigan and that shitty attitude. If they want service they might as well smile for it or wallow in there misery.
Can we blame the lady in the second story yeah she was let go but that's what happens when you work with a company that has people that goes out in the field but she could've handled it a little better
She did settle down. I think she was let go for other reasons, not this reaction.
@@MrBeevee5 though the ending of the story sounded otherwise but I might be hearing it wrong
Sure, she could've pepper sprayed him for being a hobo who broke into the office! ;).
Funny tech story: When I had just left Secondary School (High School) I at College doing a graphic design course (over 20 years ago). My dad, who was an industrial electrician (now retired) was going to replace the wall plug my PC was connected to (on his day off). Well a few hours in I got a call on my mobile phone, with my dad frantic that he broke my computer somehow and asked how to find out what was wrong. Well after 10 minutes of me trying to go through basic things with him, I heard my mum say "Did you remember to plug it back in?". The line was quiet for a few seconds until I heard my dad swear and apoligise to me. All I could hear until he hung up the phone was my mum n the background laughing her head off. My dad Still gets embarrassed by it, decades later, so I don't bring it up too much LOL
With the second one, it may have been better for the tech' to have 'phoned the manager - kid might have been too young/scared to wake him/her at that time.
The manager should have told him he is calling in a tech. Of he knew the tech was coming I don't think he would have.freaked out
LMAO, I'm 21 but I'm always either given that "Are you kidding me?" parental look from store clerks and carded on a regular basis. So I asked the man working behind the counter once, he'd carded me when I went to buy a simple $5 scratch and win ticket, Not to be rude or anything, I made that clear, I wasn't mad. I was rather amused actually that he didn't think I looked my age. But anyway, I asked him how old he'd pegged me at. Not even a second had passed before he blatantly blurted out 15! And Oh, did I laugh. Told him I would be happy as could be if I could keep looking 6 years younger than my actual age up into my 40's and I'd be absolutely golden =) He and I had a good laugh about it and I went back home and called my parents to tell him that I'd gotten carded again and that the man said I looked about 15. They laughed a little bit and told me maybe I shouldn't be living in a 5000+ square foot house on my own if people are mistaking me for a teen, that they'll probably start getting calls from the police saying they'd left their child unattended. It hasn't gone quite that far, but even though our town doesn't have a curfew for minors, I am stopped fairly regularly by the police asking what I'm up to when I'm strolling back home from the convenience store with a bag of snacks and my headphones in listening to some music while I walk. It's usually the simple "hello, how's it going, where you headed tonight?" Then a friendly "Take care." when they realize that I'm not the least bit nerved up by their presence. I work for the CAF, to begin with, and I've always just seen people as people, faults and all. My dad's a Christian minister, doesn't mean he can't throw his weight around if he needs to. While not violent or overly confrontational, if you're being unreasonably cruel to someone on the street, or you threaten him or our family, in any way, then he will step in no doubts about that. So I was pretty laid back, heck I would have split a chocolate bar with them if covid19 hadn't been an issue. But, yeah. Told them I was headed back with a late snack, held up the bag and shrugged. Heck, they could have followed me home, the house is in the dead centre of the small town right across from the grocery store and subway. a straight line through the main street from house to circle K and I had my receipt and I knew I didn't do anything wrong so why panic?
LMAO RELATE TO THE THIRD STORY
(because my dumb ass posted this before actually finishing my comment) I went into a liquor store and presented my ID. The server gave me one of the most whiplashed filled faces showed it to his workmate, who fortunately said 'yeah, that's legit' and all the while my mother is losing her shit in the background. Then there's the whole, trying to serve people who think I'm twelve but I firmly respond with 'I'm nineteen'they look like they're about to die of a heart attack with my manager losing his shit in the background.
Damn, they produce business cards for you quickly. I have to wait two weeks sometimes for new business cards and you got them in a matter of minutes. I’m impressed.
When me and my older brother were under 13, we were always the same size so people thought we were fraternal twins, we're not, I'm 2 years younger. After we hit our teens my brother proved to have a baby face and I...well I didn't. I'll put it this way, I had a full beard when I was 16, (actually grew it as 15 but it had bald spots until I was 16) and my brother was asked, when he was 31 what high school he goes to. Me on the other hand at best look my age. I envy my brother for that sometimes.
That last story is totally me every day. I RELATE to the customer.
Printer Cables and Power Cords, always the same. Very short story, but while I was in College, one of the professor called me to her office. I was a work study for the BINFO System Department. The problem was the power cord had been knocked out by her foot. Of course she said one that she checked that and two it was a test of me.
Worked at an aerospace company, engineer with PhD complains his computer terminal not working no power, , I asked if he check make sure was plugged in since had a problem with housekeeping unplugging other stuff to run vacuums in the offices. Got yelled at over the phone that he was smart enough to know if was plugged in and needed to get it fixed ASAP. So went over and looked down huffed, bent over plugged the terminal back in and started working, snarled and left.
Yes! Yes! Feed me with these idiots' awkwardness...ness!
I liked the cute little mini-story at the end. No Karens. Just a confused and apologetic customer.
How many of you visualize the stories in your head as he reads them?
You should really do a big compilation of these, your voice is calming
I really like the I'm the owner or I'm related to the owner ones
Yay, More stories
Middle story. If I'd been a young woman working on my own in an office late in the evening (why is that even happening?) I would have been exactly the same as her if a strange, dirty man walked in. If I'd been fired for trying to protect their office (from a tramp or a boss, still a stranger to me) I would have taken them for unfair dismissal. So unfair!!
I'm guessing that she decided to wrap something up. There's always a chance that she was let go because she was rude to other people (and he's just repeating what he heard) but there's no way to know but I agree if her being fired has anything to do with what happened there she'd (IMO) be in her right to sue.
I liked the short story at the end
“Sorry. I don’t know where I am.”
That’s a mood
Why didnt the first guy just call the number back before he left the restaurant.
Sleep deprived. If you don't get enough sleep, you don't/can't think. Personally I would have gone over the bosses' head to his boss after being put through this after the first month. His boss deserves to have to do it for two weeks in a row. Maybe then he would be a better boss after having to follow his own bad rules/decisions.
i would of refused to go and got the manager to deal with it.
That kind of problem usually is because one person has no personal power and so they pick on people younger than them so that they won't get the backlash they'd get if they did it to a grown person.
Don't do IT. It's all punishment.
I’m with the kid manager who refused the random trying to fix the computer. He was correct to do so.
That last one was worth sticking around for
Last story was actually cute. A meet-cute kinda story. 😉
"Office shared with the CFO's son..." Let me guess: This is the second time that kind of incident had happened, the first one was with the CFO's son... 😆
24 hrs on-call? No thanks, that's a job only crazy people do.
Like soldiers, firemen, police, paramedics, doctors and nurses . . . yeah all crazy
I went to the same convince store for 11 years. Driving a company truck, wearing a company shirt and using a company credit card. I stopped to get gas grabbed my credit card, went to pay for the gas. The clerk asked for identification. I said my wallet was in the truck. She I need it, now or I call the police. I ask what are the chances I stole the truck, credit card and shirt. She I don't care. She was fired the next day.
Need to watch out on the titles...there are teeny mistakes sneaking in there.
OF1 has a pretty good case for unfair dismissal unless there was mire to the commotion than was described
Got a great chuckle from that quick glue gun story.
Oh man that thumbnail. This is going to be interesting
Love that Pocket...and the feisty little old lady.
I was 14 and working at BK......... 9 years old when i started working for myself, car wash, mowing lawns.....
Man that last one, I felt that one lol.
As to the first story mk or more acurately pk as in punk kid got his lying but in trouble and hus ego deflated just like the mis manager. They bith got shut down and are lucky to still have job. As to the second story the lady was understandably concerned but her rude behavior towards other employees was her downfall. As to the third story both of those individuals should have been fired. As to the last story that person admitted her mistake unlike others that cant admit when they are wrong.
That service call was not needed as they should be able to plug in a cable
i love how his voice kinda goes in to a "are you fucking kidding me?" when he read loose printer cable.
The girl in the thumbnail looks like a Starfire cosplayer.
I would have written up OF1 for starting workplace drama. However, I am guessing that since he was fired that it was not the first time.
Not necessarily, it all depends on the CEO.
This is one my favourite channels on RUclips. Thank you for all the stories 👽
Last one was kinda wholesome ngl
RedWheel, I LOVE how you deliver those very interesting stories! They are interesting most probably because of the way you delivered them.
dang, same mistake in school.. second o before the first.. It is school, not school...
I will tell the boss! I know the boss because his father is my fathers son!
Anyway, most stories here are good..these three were a 1/10...Sorry
Second one seemed rather dumb. A woman in a building alone is shocked that a man has entered and is saying he works here when she has never seen him work there... seems very sensible and plausible to me...
And that’s why connectors have screws
I wouldn't be surprised if that loose printer cable cost them $1,000.
Wouldn't the tech have a corporate business card or ID???
That 2nd one was a bit sad- she wasn't a Karen exactly, she just had a Karen moment cos she was scared...but I guess if those Karen moments add up...the last one wasn't a Karen either, that was just sweet
Goddamn, I relate with the “older than I look” appearance.
Saw this story before but the CEO was his mother!!!
Sounds like Phil Hartman came back to life and told these stories.
Last story was great!
Sounds to me like you need to make the rules for calling more specific. I think this falls on your shoulders for not doing a better job training your employees.
Not exactly the same, but. . .
Back in 99 I use to work at our local Taco Bell. On one side was a Carl's Jr. and on the other was a McDonald, and a Dairy Queen and Wendy's across the street.
I am taking orders at the counter one day. We just got our lunch rush and things were calming down.
When enters an old man.
He proceeds to the counter.
I say, Welcome to Taco Bell. What can I get you?
The old man starts saying, I'll take a 6 piece, mash potatoes and gravy, biscuits and. . .
I cut him off right there, and politely say, I am sorry sir but we do not have any of those items. If you go next door to Carl's Jr. they'll have what you want.
The old man looks around the restaurant, then back at me and says, Oh. Thank you. My wife would kill me if she had seen me do this.
We both laughed, and he left to go get some chicken.
The lady in this short story in the end was like every single person just after waking up
I lost it with the end of that last story. Forgot where they were. LOL
Some dude trying to roast me: U dumb
Me: *no u*
11:55 must be a Biden
Retail workers think they're the most special group of people on the planet. Dont work if customer service in you think serving customers such a hassle
Use to work for Target, had a friend who worked there as well. One day he went into a Kroger's in full Target Regalia and was promptly stopped by at least 5 people asking him where something is. I would have the same issue wearing red and khaki walking into a Wal-Mart as people would just see the Khaki and assume I worked there. Though my favorite day was when I was in Walmart wearing just a black shirt and jeans and this young kid was swearing up and down to his mom that I must work at Walmart. Note: I had worked for Walmart from 01 to 05 in a different state.
That last story was pretty funny.
I enjoyed today's stories
OMG. but in retrospect none of this would suprise me
I still don't believe story 3.
It sounds too American - firing somebody for mistaken identity is pretty much out of it: you'd have an industrial claim there. plus who refers to the Queen of England? She was The Queen. She was queen of the whole bang shoot, the whole of the UK.
And ID? We have stuff to use as ID, but it's not mandatory.
1: all this just because the workers are too lazy to put the freaking wire back into the Printer? Ho-ly Crap.
2: Moral of the Story Kiddies: Read, Common Sense and Manners. 3 things that will help you keep your job. Don't be like Karen.
3: Both OFs should be fired, they're BOTH to blame.
4: Maybe you should learn how to read love. But at least this story was more gentler compared to the other 3.
And before anybody leaves me a comment of "theses Story are fake" or "You do know these stories aren't real, right?". Let me put this as simply as possible. I... Don't... Care. And if it is fake, show some evidence before stating the fact. And please spare me the whole "Can you prove this is real?" because I'm only commenting on these videos just to state my own opinion on each story as last I checked, freedom of speech is allowed. But leave a negative comment, you'll just get a "Shamalamamoomoo" in return ^^
I agree. I comment on shows, movies, and books knowing full well they are fictions. I would do the same here regardless including if I think one is truly fake.
@@MrBeevee5 Exactly. They keep saying these stories are fake and yet they don't back it up with proof. Fake or Real, I like listening to these stories.
I can believe stories like that are real because 1 simple fact.
Tldr I've seen the turn it off and back on before.
My job is restaurant maintenance, repairs not cleaning, sometimes we get calls about water heaters not working. I got called out to 2 different locations in like the past month, last one was on Monday, where their water heater wasn't working. They both had the same issue. There is a display that tells you what the fault is and what to do. For the most part you need to be certified to be authorized to work on them so the manufacturer knows someone that knows what they're doing is checking them out because you need to be able to test the part that it says is causing the fault. These both said "auto test complete/passed" and in the description to "recycle power to resume normal operation" basically turn it off and on again, think of a computer doing an update and needing to restart. There's a switch on the front by the display that puts it in standby but doesn't turn off the power. Both times all i had to do was follow the power cord from the water heater to the light switch that turns off the power to that water heater. I hate changing for something that simple but since it was a call out and the second one was like 30 minutes away, first was 5 minutes from my house, we have to charge so the manufacturer knows we went out there. And if they read the display and turned it off and on like it said it would save them how ever much they get charged, so yes I can see someone calling out because they can't be bothered to check something simple. And yes I informed the manager exactly what I did that way if it happens again 1 they don't have to pay someone to go out there to do 10 seconds of work and 2 if it's busy and we can't get out there for a while they're not without hot water.
OynxWolf11 I once saw someone in one of these comments sections claim a story was fake because there was no video evidence. It's an incredibly stupid rebuttal, yet they acted like it was some epic mic drop moment that completely justified their claim of it being fake.
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra should ask for the link to the video of their birth and if they can't give one obviously they were never born then.
