    I was an ER doctor. In Canada. Every time I got hit with the "I pay taxes" thing, my answer was "So do I. And I'm pretty sure I pay more taxes than you. So I pay more of my own salary than you do."

      Had a Walmart person once come up from behind and grab me while I was walking out the door. Now, I am well over 6 feet, and a Marine vet, so instincts took over. I shouldered her to the ground and went into fighting mode before my conscious brain even knew what was happening.
      I reeled myself in, while she picked herself up off the ground while threatening me with legal action. I gave her my work card, so she got my name spelled properly, and went on my way to work after a brief conversation (calmly on my side, I was used to physical interactions). Luckily, I never heard anything from it.

      Yeah, no. Public educators are increasingly becoming deluded into thinking their authority trumps that of the parents of children, outside of the narrow confines of parental abuse of children. Your field is filled with iconoclasts whom often stray from their assigned duties with zero accountability, with a higher rate of sexual offenses against children than the priesthood or any other career, and all too often deny any accountability for actions committed or allowed.
      I live two counties away from a case that made national headlines where a school board covered up the anal rapes of multiple school girls because it made their personal political leanings look bad. This is not an isolated incident, and it's trending upwards in frequency.
      So, I say this as a parent who loves their kids and now has to worry every day that their own educators will attempt to betray their trust, suck it up, buttercup.

      @monad_tcp 2 года назад

      No, only sometimes it is used for that, but anything can be used for wrongful termination. Business change are rightful termination, your contract is not forever.
      This is basically the correct and legal way to do it. Sometimes you just need to fire a lot of people, its just business. Want security forever, go work for the government.
      For a lot of reasons businesses can and will rotate persons. Like, the market changed, the business was sold, or merged, or even dissolved, the share holders hold their vote to change things. Jobs are not guaranteed forever, it just a contract, any of the parts can leave.
      If you can't leave the company, that's slavery.
      If the company can't let go of you, that's called socialism (because you work for the government, and government owns everything, so you never lose the job, even if the job is useless and there's no demand, wonder why socialism doesn't work...).
      No right minded business owner would ever put their business in such chains, except for tenuring (in academy), or security reasons, both which is because of knowledge you hold that are never to be released to the public.

      My father's greatest act of love was teaching his little girl how to defend herself. The throat punch was like, #1 on the list. Below the belt works MOST of the time, but in some cases, it makes them extremely angry and more violent. A throat punch guarantees a win, because suddenly they have more important things, like trying to breathe, than to deal with than you.
      (FYI, #2 was "stab a man and he can keep coming. Shatter his knee and he goes down and stays down." Number two because it tends to be harder to get a good angle on a kneecap than it is the throat.)
      Dad passed away a few years ago, but he while he was alive, he told me that he would pay all of the bail monies to get me out of jail if it came to light that I utterly destroyed my attacker, even if it meant that my self defense was lethal, because it was better for his daughter to be alive than dead in an alleyway somewhere. ...

    Another reason to NEVER grab a Soldier is EVERY Military I'm aware of trains it's people in the Basics of Disassembling their fellow Man (AKA Hand-to-Hand Combat) and they train the Marines/Special Forces in the Finer Points of Taking their fellow Man apart at the seams (AKA Advanced Hand-to-Hand Combat/Martial Arts)...
    So, as Karen discovered, grabbing a Soldier is a quick trip to the corner of Pain St. and Agony Lane in Downtown Hurtsville...

I was an inhouse warehouse employee and part of our duties were to sweep the floor and clean up the store, one day I was sweeping the sales floor and a younger teenage kids says excuse me do you work here and his friend who was with him said "no dumbass he's just a customer who likes to sweet the floor of course he works here", needless to say I was laughing my ass off when they walked away.

    Seriously. If anyone ever asked me for a youtuber that reads stories, I'd recommend this one. I like hearing the crazy stories because there are a LOT of Karens in my smallish city and I feel it prepares me for the eventual day that I have to deal with one. Hearing a wholesome story at the end calms my nerves and restores my faith in humanity. This is the main reason why I'd recommend this channel to people. I know there isn't always a wholesome one at the end, but it's so nice when there is. I think Dark Fluff and Reddit Brew are my favorite youtubers who read from reddit.

    Story 5 is so sweet. I wish I had a shopping buddy. I had an full on anxiety attack the last time I was at the store. It was right before the snowstorm and I unfortunately was out of groceries and all the city seemed to be there like they were stocking up for the entire winter. People were rude and pushy and Im disabled but don't look it. I was lucky enough that my son came with me on that trip and he just saw my n95 mask deflating like a balloon and full again as I was starting to hyperventilate and my face was red. I was so lucky he was able to get the bare minimum I had in my cart to the car while I sat on a bench next to a nice old woman who helped me regain my composure. I should also mention I was in a lot of physical pain as well. If that sweet old lady didn't help me ( which I find ironic bc I should be helping the sweet old ladies out) and if my son didn't do all the work for me I wouldn't have made it to my car and they probably would have had to call an ambulance for me. My son had put all the stuff in the car and came back in to help me walk out and I was actually doing a lot better by the time he had came back in. He had looked worried when he went out with my stuff that I might not make it out.
    I dont remember what she had said to me but after I dropped my son off at his place and went home I was able to put my stuff in my wagon and bring it in by myself without any problems. I'd give anything to have that lady as a shopping buddy and I hope I see her there again bc she helped me so much. I was so lucky that day last week. I rarely go to the store bc I have nobody to go with and I cant count on my body to handle getting through it. Just having someone with me to make sure nobody knocks me down or to help me lift something is a blessing.

Somehow we got on the conversation of self defense and I asked if he knew how to fight a woman because it’s a whole different ballgame. So we stood up and I told him that I wasn’t going to go easy on him so he would be prepared. I had the upper hand for the first 30 seconds because he was a little shocked at all the clawing and scratching but then he body slammed me, got my arms behind my back and laid on top of me. I tried hard to thrash around but I could not move at all. I suggest not starting a fight with a soldier or veteran lol

My mom had gotten divorced earlier that year while I was in 7th and we had to move fairly fast to my grandparents' house. The apartment we moved into was across from a grocery store called save a lot and a little discount store we refer to as the green store (this was before pot was legal where I lived and there weren't "green" stores everywhere like there is now) the grocery store was just kind of a normal place we'd get groceries from sometimes but the green store was it's own little community. I'm now 28 and I have moved away but at least once a week up until about 14 months ago and even now when I go back to my hometown I would go there. When I was young my brother (2 years younger than me) would literally go in there and just browse for hours. It's the best place to get candy and cheap things like things for as low as a quarter! Iver the last 15 years I've gotten to know the employees and they've watched us grow up and it's been so fun to go back amd see how the store has grown and changed. Recently I went back and they got new owners. I was so surprised! Especially since someone had just drove a car into the front window and there was natural light on that side but when I walked in there wasn't any. The employees are some of the same people that have been there for 15 years and actually remember my brother and I as the two sweet as can be kids that would come in everyday. It kept us out of trouble and sometimes we would help with small tasks. I love that little store. My mom still shops there sometimes. While I was in college I would go there to get snacks to hand out to my friends and they were always so happy to hear about the store.
