Precisely. She simply repeated what the Karen said a week earlier, which, while passive-aggressive, was not embarrassing to the library at all. Managers and higher-ups have to learn better ways to support their employees. Even just saying something like "I totally understand why you said what you did, but next time, maybe think a bit more before replying. However, we're proud what a great job you did keeping your temper!" It's simple words like that, that helps people realize they actually did nothing wrong, and helps to build their confidence. Reprimanding totally not appropriate here.
@@luthor24127 You must either be a Karen or closely related to a Karen to be one of the few people that always pop up saying that these stories are fake. There may be 1 out of every 20 stories that could potentially be fake, but that doesn't make every one of them fake. Honestly grow up and stop being so ignorant.
A librarian is not obliged to help you anywhere except in the library. How can the EP seriously expect a librarian to assist them in a store? That EP had a cheek complaining to the library manager about OP when she knew OP didn't work at the store.
You will be amazed how many people in USA believe "I pay taxes, so I'm paying your salary, thus you are my slave" nonsense. As a foreigner who was there on business visa, once I was told because the visa was issued by the states, this means I owe every us citizen "something". Me literally laughing my ass off almost drove that b*** insane.
Frankly, the library should have called the police for making a false accusation of assault on a minor, and probably child services. That seems serious.
I wonder why the woman making the false claims wanted security footage when she should have known they wouldn't back her up. Usually when I hear stories like these they try to backpedal when they learn they're being recorded.
It possibly could have been more in the tone of how she said it compared to what she actually said. But I agree I don't think the librarian said anything wrong at all
They were just covering their asses. It is truly amazing to me how horrible the people in the stories can be. Almost unbelievable, however, I've run into plenty of them before. I think any bystanders that are witnessing these situations should always speak up. I now speak up anytime I hear someone being verbally abused. Even if it is a manager dressing down and employee. That does not fly with me. You speak to people with respect, and if an employee needs to be reprimanded, it should not be done in front of anyone else except maybe an HR person. On the other hand, the crazies in these stories need to be set straight in the most embarrassing way possible. The shame and humiliation of it is the only thing that seems to get through to them.
@@smellyolegoat150 Yeah, I had a boss who relished public humiliations/firings. There was only one person who brought it on herself, but it still wasn't right.
Unfortunately, because she was still wearing her library-logo name tag she was still representing the library. No matter what altercation, no manner how minor, no matter it was not her fault can put the company in a negative light. Most companies these days believe that as long as you are In Public, anywhere Public, you also represent them as an Entity. Whatever sex, as a teacher if you do anything, like wear a bikini or a cock-cup guy-thong the school district might have cause to fire an employee. Hence the right of Amazon to fire their employees for their privately-held beliefs on the environment when expressed in a public protest.
I would have held back closing the library issue until cops arrived, the woman made her statement to the cops and then she could be prosecuted for filing a false report and malicious prosecution.
From what I understand about civil servants (which I am one) we do not serve everywhere...such as what this EW tried to pull on the librarian. When I serve, I serve the people to the best of my ability...and with a smile. And the people I serve l believe do like me.
I literally work for the city I live in... but only in a very specific department tucked away in a corner of the city that no one ever visits (the power plant); plus, they take overtime and keeping logs very seriously.
The only exception to "off-the-clock" civil servants are those who would want to volunteer to help anyway (for an emergency), such as EMT's, fire, military, police, etc.
@@JaelinBezel OMG! Tell me about it. When I worked as a file clerk for a university, if we even needed a five-minute potty break, we had to sign out and back in. On the other side were the Unions. If you work one second of overtime the rep would be paying you a visit...the lowest standards in the longest time (ideally, never ending). Heaven forbid that even the tiniest, most inconsequential bean not be accounted for. It was such a prison after working in a project-driven corporate environment where getting work done for a customer was valued...the highest possible standards in the least possible time (of course, while charging the highest fees) but there was freedom to use the facilities or go for a walk around the block.
@@Hinatachan360 I'd have done that, pressed charges and put in for a transfer or two weeks notice. She shouldn't be penalized in any way over Karen's actions off the clock and off work property. If the powers-that-be cannot or will not protect their employees as well as side with people who are wrong, they do not deserve to have OP as an employee and OP will have to find an employer who can
ok but what was EW expenting to happen when she asked for the camera feed in both ocassions? That reality would change and everything she said would become truth?
I think she expected any reasonable person to see a mere peon of a civil servant refuse to serve a lady of HER caliber and that that is inexcusable no matter the circumstances. Basically she was so arrogant, she was convinced she was in the right and everyone would agree.
I wouldn't. That would be seen as a betrayal of trust if it was me. I'd stop helping out or doing anything extra at that point, start working to rule by the book, no more, no less. I'd start putting forth the bare minimum of expectations until I found another job. Once I did, I'd put in my two-weeks months and leave
Screw having another job, I'm crazy impetuous, if quit, on the spot, effective immediately. To say "we know you wouldn't do that blah blah blah" and then write her up, "informally" or not, is beyond breaking that trust we have as coworkers. What happens in 3 months? That harpy comes back in and makes another bs complaint, OP gets an "official" write up, having, by the sounds of it, done absolutely nothing? Nope, my as* would be out that door quicker than you can say the word "disciplinary"! What is wrong with people?!?!? "You're a civil servant so you need to serve me"?!?!?! What kinda backwards as*logic is that?!?! As I've just learned, that entitled woman is a douche canoe!!!
"Whatever, you still represent the library then even when you are not working. You help people get shit at work, so you have to help me now." "Ok, madam. What books are you interested in borrowing? And do you have your library card?"
I would have told the library bosses Exactly where the could insert their repremand and walked right out. That woman should have been arrested for stalking and making false accusations.
I believe your opinions were spot on. The statement that was made to the librarian was a common thing that must be said to stop the Karen in their tracks.
The librarian should have taken this up with the police and gotten a restraining order. That goes on the offenders record, just in case the harassing continues. Which it always does. It escalates all the time, because the problem with perps is they can't admit what they done is wrong. The poor librarian better watch out, as there have been cases of the perps following people home and the results are not pretty.
they are not public servants to be ordered around everywhere. still trying to figure out how someone defending themselves reflected poorly on the library..... sounds like bullshit to me.
It irks me that OP still got a talking to for her words. I am so tired of employees not being able to defend themselves when customers attack. The woman was clearly harassing her and even came into her place of work to continue the harassment. OP and anyone else who deals with this entitled bs should be allowed to stand up for themselves.
i came up with the pefect comeback for when a karen acuses you of working there just because you helped someone. it's "yea it's called kindness. you should try it someday"
Out of everything from this story, I feel most sorry for the child. From the sound of it, they seemed to understand what was happening and also knew their mother very well. They tried to settle it, and now they are the one that gets punished the most because they cannot return the library. You know mom isn’t going to allow dad to take their child there... Poor kid.
It is time to stop this ridiculous behavior. Hey to all those people out there who thinks that this world owes you something guess what it doesn't. You do not have to be a jerk to get heard. try being nice it will get you farther.
Civil servants are not public general use indentured servants. Unless they are an emergency worker in a crisis situation, they don't own you a damned thing off of the clock.
I don't agree with the warning either, but the interaction she received the warning for, I assume, was her snarky response back to EW around 10:49. That interaction happened in the library. Still not enough to warrant a warning in my opinion, but I guess it was for them.
Yea she is just suppose to take being harassed and called names. I wouldnt be surprised if they even wanted her to take it if the woman started throwing punches.
i think if i was that girl in the library i would have retained a lawyer sue both the entitled woman for harrassment and false accusations, and then i would sue the library for an unlawful reprimand. clearly the girl was never disrespectful to anyone.
The library administration nevertheless placed a warning letter into the librarian's permanent file with them for being a victim of harassment and stalking of the Karen; that is disgusting and just victimising the victim further.
"oh you are a mother. that means you will babysit my children as often and as long as I want while I work in the library. because that's you role as a mother in this district and not limited to your own family, right!"
Hey all supervisors and administrators please stop enabling these karens. They will only cost you business and a whole lot of money. Trust me. I know from experience.
The last story angers the crap out of me. The librarian did nothing wrong and to be reprimanded is absolutely ridiculous! It seems management is as useless there as anywhere else. I'm pretty certain I'd be looking for a different job after that.
I have never posted a rdwhl before and I always enjoy the stories but DAM that poor library worker should not have been reprimanded, she should should have been protected from an awful person, and what if that person comes back looking for her to harass her(she has no reason to be in the teen section), if something worse happens, the staff and the library and the town would all be
The librarian was not in line for reprimanding based on a crazy karen on an other store. Her file should be cleared now of whole incident. To all karens....we will protect others from you any way we can.
I don't understand why the librarian got in trouble for anything. Was she supposed to get the employees from the store to call her boss and explain what happened before her boss believed her?
a little tip to ease everyone's minds who were just like OP. when off the clock what you do CAN NOT be used against you at your place of work. if it is then you have a great legal case for wrongful termination so if your boss threatens to fire you because of what some person like karen did in this story, remember that your job is 100% safe and you can not be fired from it for no reason.
@@Kelle0284 well actually i am correct. even in an "at will state" which actually doesn't mean what you think it means. your company has to have a legal reason to fire you such as you were stealing company property or your destroyed some of it. what OP did in this story was on their own time. if you want me to act like I am always on the companies time even when I am not required to be, then its considered on call and you must be paid accordingly. there is a guy whos videos have started popping up in my recommend of him being a lawyer and telling all these different laws these companies violate that you don't think they do. such as asking you to drop off some mail because its "on your way home" you just worked for the company for free because you thought you were helping" I suggest you contact an employment lawyer and learn about your rights.
If "Karen" worked for the local school district, then the library should have made a call to HER boss about her harassing library employees. Schools don't look kindly on such things.
Jesus, what a f library. No way I would stay with a workplace like that. Maybe its time to get out from a librarian stereotype and stand up for herself. How on earth can one work with children, be a role model and stand up for their defense when its needed when she cant even defend herself. And she works with teens. Ridiculous. A person who can not defend herself when she is innocent do no good for children.
I shopped at the big Tesco's in Cheltenham yesterday. They wear all blue uniforms with a name tag. Walked up to a lady to ask for help. Yes she was all in blue. Same shades and cut but as I saw when she turned around, no name tag. She said sorry "I don't work here but this isn't the first time this has happened. It's two isles over" I said "Shit sorry" She said "Not a problem" and we parted ways. See how fucking easy that interaction was?
They got an INFORMAL probably Verbal warning, Really its just the manager saying 'You could have handle that better" No where did it say a Warning letter was placed in her file. No it was informal and most likely verbal.
This might be a stupid question but why is assault and half of harrassed blur off?
4 года назад
Isn't it about time some of these grew a backbone. Jesus christ. And that is particularly true of business. The library in this case was terrible. They should be backing their staff 100%. The Karen's will never learn because nobody stands up to them.
wtf !!! reprimand for what ????? The girl was harassed and stalked . She's lucky the girl was nice. She should have called the police and got that karen arrested for coming to OP's job and making false claims and stalking .
Op did nothing to the karen, and should not have had a write up at all. I'm glad they removed her from the library. The karen should be on observation on her return, and any bother of op should mean permanent deployment.
A common feature of such encounters appear to be public disturbances caused by the disorderly conduct of middle-aged to elderly women. One would expect more maturity from such persons. These women seem to share the following traits: Poor observational skills - they weren't able to discern customers from retail staff or identify the location of desired items A degree of sociopathy - no regard of the disruption and inconvenience caused to others No impulse control - the Karens were unable to practice restraint or reign in a tendency towards inappropriate behaviors/speech Bad problem solving abilities - these women also appear to be incapable of approaching their particular problems in a rational, measured manner to generate appropriate solutions.
When you are on the clock, you do represent the business that has employed you. But once you are off the clock, you are on your own time and are no longer a representitive for that business. And the business has no right telling you how to act or what you can and can't say, unless they're paying you at that time. Karen showed her ignorance in believing op had to serve her in a private business just because she was a civil servent. The library administration should have totally dismissed anything Karen said about op after hearing op's initial story. When Karen accessed op of assaulting her son, the police should have been called immediately and Karen and her son taken to the security office to wait on the police. When the truth came out, Karen should have been arrested, the library and op should have pressed charges against Karen and Karen should have been banned for life.
When people give you stupid logic, tilt your head to one side and ask if they had to go to a class in college on how to look stupid in public. Bring popcorn.
First let me say I'm glad to hear you on this old broadcast of F slash. I miss you here. And even though the op wrote Calvary, that's a hill in Israel where Jesus was crucified. The cavalry however are the soldiers who ride horses and save the Day in dime novels and John Wayne westerns.
OP in the last story should NOT have been given any kind of warning! Cleary the woman was bat shit crazy & entitled Karen! I really hope OP found another job in another library
wonder if the lady in second story would be saying same thing to the country's leader if she ran into them.. "I know who you are. You need to help your people like me, it's your JOB!"
I wonder if there was a way that the boss of EP could have been contacted to file a complaint against HER for her conduct; after all, she represents the company 24/7/365 even if off the clock...
A librarian called in the Calvary - who was it St George with his dragon slaying lance? Sorry, but he's the first cavalryman I associate with Calvary. However, crazy spellings in the comments frequently surpass crazy pronunciations in the stories.
So as a customer, you can verbally and physically assault (and belittle) another customer and your reward is to be personally waited on by the store manager?
Why teens keep up on crying when the Karen monsters raise their voice? Even if you're a teen DO NOT interact with any of them! Immediately call your manager and day I am being harrased by this woman! She's being rude and I feel threatened! Don't cry! That will give the monsters more power to do the same to others! Be strong, don't say a word and call your supervisor! Being a snowflake is gonna make things in the future harder for you! Ignore them! Walk away and seek for help!
Oh wow you are 100% right that people shouldn't have emotions, or feelings. Yeah I'm calling b.s. on you. Go look in the mirror, grab some soil and attempt to grow some empathy. Calling people snowflakes for having emotions. What's next? You gonna go tell someone they are acting like a snowflake when they get devastating news? Grow up.

@@Kelle0284 well actually i am correct. even in an "at will state" which actually doesn't mean what you think it means. your company has to have a legal reason to fire you such as you were stealing company property or your destroyed some of it. what OP did in this story was on their own time. if you want me to act like I am always on the companies time even when I am not required to be, then its considered on call and you must be paid accordingly. there is a guy whos videos have started popping up in my recommend of him being a lawyer and telling all these different laws these companies violate that you don't think they do. such as asking you to drop off some mail because its "on your way home" you just worked for the company for free because you thought you were helping"
I suggest you contact an employment lawyer and learn about your rights.
If "Karen" worked for the local school district, then the library should have made a call to HER boss about her harassing library employees. Schools don't look kindly on such things.
"If"
Jesus, what a f library. No way I would stay with a workplace like that. Maybe its time to get out from a librarian stereotype and stand up for herself. How on earth can one work with children, be a role model and stand up for their defense when its needed when she cant even defend herself. And she works with teens. Ridiculous. A person who can not defend herself when she is innocent do no good for children.
I shopped at the big Tesco's in Cheltenham yesterday. They wear all blue uniforms with a name tag. Walked up to a lady to ask for help. Yes she was all in blue. Same shades and cut but as I saw when she turned around, no name tag. She said sorry "I don't work here but this isn't the first time this has happened. It's two isles over" I said "Shit sorry" She said "Not a problem" and we parted ways. See how fucking easy that interaction was?
I think things go better if you walk around the store with a "I have no f's to be given" look.
They got an INFORMAL probably Verbal warning, Really its just the manager saying 'You could have handle that better" No where did it say a Warning letter was placed in her file. No it was informal and most likely verbal.
The Karen from the last prison should be in an all male prison.
So who else is looking forward to the inevitable continuation in March, when the psycho lady is allowed back in the library?
That entitled woman should have been committed to a psychiatric hospital,talk about unhinged.
That was such a low end response
This might be a stupid question but why is assault and half of harrassed blur off?
Isn't it about time some of these grew a backbone. Jesus christ. And that is particularly true of business. The library in this case was terrible. They should be backing their staff 100%. The Karen's will never learn because nobody stands up to them.
She should have had a permanent ban.people like that only get worse.
I LOVE your comments and the way you say them! Your sarcasm and your sense of humor are why I love watching your videos.
um, You do NOT disrespect librarians. (you shouldn't disrespect people in general)And you don't call them servants they don't work for you lady.
wtf !!! reprimand for what ????? The girl was harassed and stalked . She's lucky the girl was nice. She should have called the police and got that karen arrested for coming to OP's job and making false claims and stalking .
For not being a good public servant.
you know RUclips is becoming a sad place when you have to censer the word "attacked" and so on
Yeah but literally no one else is, flippin weird. You seen this anywhere else on yt?
I love how you pronounced Cojones correctly
There are way too many crazy Karens the world!
Op did nothing to the karen, and should not have had a write up at all. I'm glad they removed her from the library. The karen should be on observation on her return, and any bother of op should mean permanent deployment.
Yeah. She shouldn't. Spot On.
Absolutely loved the library story! 😄
A common feature of such encounters appear to be public disturbances caused by the disorderly conduct of middle-aged to elderly women. One would expect more maturity from such persons. These women seem to share the following traits:
Poor observational skills - they weren't able to discern customers from retail staff or identify the location of desired items
A degree of sociopathy - no regard of the disruption and inconvenience caused to others
No impulse control - the Karens were unable to practice restraint or reign in a tendency towards inappropriate behaviors/speech
Bad problem solving abilities - these women also appear to be incapable of approaching their particular problems in a rational, measured manner to generate appropriate solutions.
When you are on the clock, you do represent the business that has employed you. But once you are off the clock, you are on your own time and are no longer a representitive for that business. And the business has no right telling you how to act or what you can and can't say, unless they're paying you at that time.
Karen showed her ignorance in believing op had to serve her in a private business just because she was a civil servent.
The library administration should have totally dismissed anything Karen said about op after hearing op's initial story. When Karen accessed op of assaulting her son, the police should have been called immediately and Karen and her son taken to the security office to wait on the police.
When the truth came out, Karen should have been arrested, the library and op should have pressed charges against Karen and Karen should have been banned for life.
When people give you stupid logic, tilt your head to one side and ask if they had to go to a class in college on how to look stupid in public. Bring popcorn.
Write up unfair. Would of taken action over this. :(
I love these stories. I no longer work in fast-food, or retail, but this brings back memories. Thank you.
First let me say I'm glad to hear you on this old broadcast of F slash. I miss you here.
And even though the op wrote Calvary, that's a hill in Israel where Jesus was crucified. The cavalry however are the soldiers who ride horses and save the Day in dime novels and John Wayne westerns.
Mind blown.
RED! PLEASE RED! WHAT ALBUM IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC FROM????? RED, HEY RED! (If he doesn't answer, I'll be speaking to his manager...)
LOL!!!!!!
Stories like the library one is why a lot of public service places have ridiculously high turnover rates
Am I alone in finding it funny that “harass” is being treated like it’s a swear word?
Demonetisation.
You are alone in thinking that, since it's not true.
CAL-VA-RY is a Biblical location. CAV-AL-RY is horse soldiers. These are very often confused.
I was eating a dark chocolate hazelnut bar last night.
Thumbnail woman was so annoying in "WANTED". I loved it when Wesley yelled, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" to her.
OP in the last story should NOT have been given any kind of warning! Cleary the woman was bat shit crazy & entitled Karen! I really hope OP found another job in another library
wonder if the lady in second story would be saying same thing to the country's leader if she ran into them.. "I know who you are. You need to help your people like me, it's your JOB!"
I wonder if there was a way that the boss of EP could have been contacted to file a complaint against HER for her conduct; after all, she represents the company 24/7/365 even if off the clock...
Why do Karen's always think the security video will back their lives
omg i feel so sorry for that young kid
A librarian called in the Calvary - who was it St George with his dragon slaying lance? Sorry, but he's the first cavalryman I associate with Calvary. However, crazy spellings in the comments frequently surpass crazy pronunciations in the stories.
The stories are superb! THANK YOU see you tomorrow 📚📚📚📚
Second time around. You are. Easy enough to listen to I'm bringing again
I would take the warning and ask them if the next time she comes after me should i kiss her.
0:10 Why is "harasses" blurred out ? Has it been recently deemed a Dirty Word by the International Karens ASSociation of Murricka ?
Thank you
i also have chronic guilty-face! i'm just always scared that i will be blamed again like i always am.
Op should have called the police on that stalker bi+++.
Love the stories. Thanks for sharing.
The last one ???? I would sue the council. Bull
So as a customer, you can verbally and physically assault (and belittle) another customer and your reward is to be personally waited on by the store manager?
Good job OP
I think the warning for the victim is kind of stupid.
You are the best and I always love your commentary. It makes the stories even better every time.
Someone please explain what has to be a running joke on why harasses is bleeped both visually and verbally? I'm new here.
Obviously dirty language editors object to "harass". Would that be because they think it somehow refers to a part of our anatomy?
You have a great voice and could do this professionally - host a national radio show etc.
Why teens keep up on crying when the Karen monsters raise their voice? Even if you're a teen DO NOT interact with any of them! Immediately call your manager and day I am being harrased by this woman! She's being rude and I feel threatened! Don't cry! That will give the monsters more power to do the same to others! Be strong, don't say a word and call your supervisor! Being a snowflake is gonna make things in the future harder for you! Ignore them! Walk away and seek for help!
Oh wow you are 100% right that people shouldn't have emotions, or feelings. Yeah I'm calling b.s. on you. Go look in the mirror, grab some soil and attempt to grow some empathy. Calling people snowflakes for having emotions. What's next? You gonna go tell someone they are acting like a snowflake when they get devastating news? Grow up.
You don’t call the calvary - it’s cavalry. Calvary is where Christ was crucified.
Religious boy has entered the conversation.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
she behave like gum, where she stucking all time
First one sounds like a sovereign citizen
