I can't imagine what it must be like to be a 7 or 8 year old kid, and realising that your mother is an insane Karen. At the very least though, he has his feet very firmly planted in reality.
Movies are great teaching aids. The Blues Brothers for instance. When Elwood gets mistaken as a gas jockey. He goes thru the motions of filling her tank then charges her an obscene amount of cash. Theft? Maybe. Satisfaction? 100%
Okay. I've listened to it twice now. Can someone *please* explain wtah was going on with the crazy lady? Did she think OP was "trying to kill her kid" b.c the boxes fell? B.c it was vitamins and he might od? B.c he helped pick them up, might get a paper cut and has some blood disorder that would kill him? Help!
The national guard story hits a memory. During the first gulf war, it rained a lot. So, mud holes were deep. Came across a vechile (humvee) stuck up to the doors. Our tow truck Sargent ( us regular army) would pull them out if they came and got the cable. It was a caption and Sargent. The caption got out and walked/fell in the mud to get the cable. After pulling out the vechile, me being a private and our Sargent asked how the Sargent got his caption to get the cable? The Sargent said, he's my boss in uniform, but at home, I'M HIS BOSS. 😅😅😅
I happen to work at Ft. Huachuca (Wa-chu-ka). First time I have really heard it mentioned anywhere on the net. Yeah, I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix sucks. There always seems to be a wreck or a dust storm holding up traffic.
Isn’t that the truth % Phoenix resident for many years and spent quite some time on I-10 back and forth to Tucson - my sin graduated from UA (🤮 I graduated from ASU!!!) plus I had friends, etc. I’m Tucson. Has loads of fun back there in The gold,old days, too!!!!😂
Beach, from the high tide line on down to the water is public access. If you are walking along the beach a landowner can't stop you. They don't own it.
Sweet kid: Some gal later in life is going to be lucky to snatch up his heart....and hopefully nothing like the CL or Karen his mother is. He deserves much better.
1st story: I once had a coworker like that. It didn't matter what you did or when, he did it first, he did it better and he made more money doing it than you. It infuriated him that he couldn't one up me on any of my service related tales because he never served in the military. He couldn't stand the thought of not being able to one up a woman.
It’s pronounced Wa-chu-ka. I know, it’s a weird word - I lived in AZ for many years and some of these words tripped up people all the time. Try Oaxaca- Wa-ha-ka!
That last story was perfect! If I should ever encounter anyone should interrupt me while I’m ,trying to explain anything, I’ll use a comeback of something along this line. But I do like the hand up - excuse me, I’m talking by the OP😄😄
In the ocean front story it not a Massachusetts law but Federal law regarding beach access. Anything below the high water mark is property of the federal government.
The last story. The UK hasn't had attended fuel stations for about 50 years! There was a time when there were still the occasional attended service in remote or small village stations, (they have pretty much long gone), but certainly all the "branded" fuel stations on major routes and in urban areas went self-serve in the early 1970's. So she is either a visitor from a country that still has attended service, she's just bone idle, she''s been "missing" for the last 5 decades (UFO abduction, maybe lol), or she didn't know how to open the fuel filler on her car and was too embarrassed to admit it and ask for help.
S1- U reap w@ u sew. S2- It's So Sad when the child acts more mature then the adults. S3-W@ possibly made her think th@ the petrol station wasn't self-serving. Gd on OP 4 standing up 4 himself.
Here in the US, the gas stations are mostly self service, with the exception of New Jersey. You can still find full service stations in most states, but they are few and far between. New Jersey is the only state that has only full service stations. For whatever absurd reason, you are not allowed to pump your own gas. You don't get the choice of full or self service. It is illegal to pump your own fuel. Apparently in New Jersey sticking a long shaft-like tube into a hole and squeezing a trigger to make fluid shoot out into the hole requires some kind of special training. If they can't figure that out on a car, it makes me wonder how anyone gets pregnant in that state. I also wonder if that state is the reason for the memes i have seen where some moron is trying to fill the gas tank by aiming the nozzle and trying to squirt it in the hole like they're playing that carnival game with the clown head you shoot in the mouth with a water gun to fill the balloon on top.
@@tnprowl1254 I've heard that they're trying to change that to allow both. I'm all for that. I can understand that some people don't want to pump their own gas, but I've done it on trips out of state, so I have no problem with doing it.
Last one I visited in the UK was about 10 years ago, had one of those hoses you drove over that rang a bell and the attendant came out to see what you wanted.
There are "some" UK Petrol (gas) stations that do service you, but those are in VERY affluent areas. Like no one living there earns under £100,000 wealthy and will never do the work of plebs. However I have only ever seen 2 of these and they only served luxury vehicles and never the general public. Like they still served leaded fuels for vintage cars.
I can recall as a kid seeing a petrol station in the UK that still had staff fill your car. That was unusual enough even then for me to remember it, and that was in the mid 1980s Never seen one since, it's just not something that happens here any more.
As I live in the UK. If I had the same interaction as the OP in the last story. If the Karen was an American Karen. I would fill the car. Diesel in a petrol car or petrol in a diesel car. Then get in my car and drive off. I would defiantly do it it I was walking. As the police wouldn't be about to trace the car I'd normally be driving. As I wouldn't be driving.
It’s kind of fun when someone uses an area that you know well!!!! I lived in Phoenix for over 48 years and so many people have the strangest idea of what AZ is like. It’s not all desert - I’m fact, AZ has almost all the zones (forgot the name of the zones) available over mist of the world, including mountain high and hotter than hell jungle like!
@@sandybruce9092 lmao so true. I live like 26 miles from Tombstone. So I'm in Southern Arizona area & it is pure desert here. Not last summer but the summer before the hottest it got was 112 I believe. I thought I was gonna freaking melt lol. Though it's not like Texas heat. There if the temp is 100 it feels 145 in the shade lol. Gotta love humidity right? At least here it feels & is 112 when it's that hot. Except during monsoon season lol
@@DedraAmbroseandSnow Yep! The heat can be really bad - one of many reasons we don’t live there anymore. It’s been quite a few years but we all lived through the Hugh if 120 degrees! And have the t-shirts!!!! I remember so many days over the years where the temp never went below 100 degrees even at midnight! People have absolutely,no,idea just how hot it can get in that part of AZ!!!!!!
@@DedraAmbroseandSnow We called the. bullheads and they hurt like hell!!! I never knew where they actually came from (I’m,guessing a plant?) but they were nasty!!!!!
Last story. Perhaps she was from Oregon, where they do not allow you to fill your own gas/petrol tank. I think Oregon is changing that law. I do have a vague recollection of gas stations in southern California with full-service pumps. The gasoline was about 10¢ more a gallon than the self-service pumps. For those in the UK, that was long enough ago that 10¢ US would be about half a shilling or 6 pence.
Oregon allows self-service fuel pumps in some locations, IIRC, counties under 50k population. New Jersey still prohibits self-service fueling statewide.
@@geoffstrickler there are times when I hate this, and times when I don't. It's a pain when you're in a hurry and the attendant isn't around. But it's great when the weather is such that you don't want to get out of your car. Traveled to both NY and Kentucky last year by myself. Was able to fill my tank on my own on both trips.😊
@@dizzysdoings Having spent nearly my entire life in the western US, it was a bit of a shock when I spent months working in NJ. Even though I had heard about the law, the first time I pulled into a gas station in NJ, I started to get out of my car as a matter of habit, then remembered and/or saw a sign…. Took a little to get used to it, but I did appreciate it when it was raining, or cold.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be a 7 or 8 year old kid, and realising that your mother is an insane Karen. At the very least though, he has his feet very firmly planted in reality.
It's a lifetime of embarrassment and apologizing to everyone who comes in contact with their parent(s).
@@lynn2551 Yeah, just gotta feel sorry for the little guy.
You can always counter "YOU WILL GO TO JAIL!" with "I don't think they will allow me to visit you and laugh to your face."
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Anybody walks up to me in a filing station and tells me to fill their vehicle up - I will - with the wrong fuel .. they need to learn manners .
I'm childfree, but I want to adopt that kid.
Just grab him.
Yeah, all petrol stations in Australia are also self-service. Driveway service went out in the 70s.
If the mother was claiming that the employee tried to kill her son yet she left him in the store while talking to the cops?
To the gas station one I haven't seen a non self service gas station in years.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For crazy lady and sweet kid story, and similar: first thing I'd say is, " We do NOT use foul language around children!"
Yeah I really hope the dad or CPS gets him into a good home.
Specialist know-it-all is the kind of CO that gets you killed in combat..........

The last story was a textbook case in how to deal with a Karen.
Money doesn't matter. People being nice or not is what matters.
In Scotland we have a saying about 'entitled' people. We say 'Wears a fur coat and no knickers'.
The kid in the second story is more an adult than his EM of a Karen!

There are plenty of small petrol stations mainly in the countryside that are serviced by the store.If

Chocolate bar made by Cadbury's. Well known for its adverts during about a 20 year span from the 1960's onwards. Search here on RUclips for them.
