I had a similar experience where I was riding my motorcycle and the way to work and came across a woman with a flat tire, so I pulled over, (knowing that this would make me late to my work) And started to help her, as I was removing the bolts from her tire she angrily said, “how long is this going to take cause I have an appointment at my hair salon” I just stared at her in disbelief and dropped the jack and bolts and returned to my motorcycle and left…. I figured fate or karma would change the tire for her, as I sure as heck wasn’t !!!!
She definitely shouldn’t have said that, but she was probably just frustrated at the situation-not at you; and she probably just doesn’t know how to edit herself. Maybe your actions will make her pause before she speaks next time! 🤪 For sure she should have shown great appreciation for you stopping to help! I don’t understand these types of people. I think they’re all just very entitled.
I stopped on my way to work and helped a lady get off the road so I could safely change her tire. She asked what kind of work I did, I told her and told her where I worked, 3 days later a thank you card showed up with a gift card to a local restaurant. There are good, respectful and thankful people out there.
I agree. A couple of years ago I dug out a van stuck in the snow in front of my house. Imagine my surprise when Christmas rolled around 10 months later and I found a gift and a nice thank-you card in my mailbox. This lady remembered all those months, and took the time to go out of her way to say thanks.
As a 67 year woman, brought up to appreciate and respect a man's integrity, strength and inate human code to protect women, I understand EXACTLY what you are saying. Entitled, spoiled women stuck emotionally at 13 are a plague now, and I feel sorry for young men who run the risk with a date, or interaction with these toxic women who with a single lie of how a man behaved, could ruin a man's life.. They think nothing of lying to "get evan" or "just for fun" they are sick, arrogant and and dangerous. I for one, thank every man who is kind enough to hold a door for me or extend a kindness.
Just think about that. Someone getting offended because you opened a door for them. I open doors for anyone, male of female (or any of 56 other genders that the left made up). It just common decency, and to get offended says a lot more about them than it does about us,
I'll be 100% honest, I only hold doors for guys. Had plenty of woman walk on past without even an acknowledgement. Every guy I hold the door for goes out of their way to say thank you.
The way to fix that is say Thank You! as they go through the door - they will look at you and then you say - that was the common courtesy word you couldn't remember, you are welcome.
I can’t tell you how many times a woman has let a door close in my face. As if I’m invisible. I always hold a door or help a woman in anyway, but I’m not going out of my way for an unknown woman anymore.
I experienced the same thing about 10-15 years ago and was stunned to silence when the lady scolded me for holding the door for her. I hung in there and kept doing what I was taught and for the most part most are very appreciative, for some reason, especially older black women. I've gotten a couple of hugs over the years from them and just the most sincere thank-yous.
About 10 years ago I was driving through our neighborhood, with my family, and I saw an old woman struggling to mow her lawn (more weeds than grass) with a push mower. It was the worst time to be mowing on a blazing hot sunny day. I pulled over and told my wife to head home. I asked the woman if she needed help. She happily gave me the mower and I proceeded to manicure her weeds and do some cleanup. When I was done she thanked me and I was off. On my walk home, I felt on top of the world. I had time to reflect so I questioned why I felt this way. I realized that when I was helping others I was my best self and it gave me rush of happiness. Since then it has become sort of a selfish pursuit that benefits others. I think often about thanking that old lady for letting me mow her lawn! You open doors and plow streets because you were raised right, you like doing it and are a good person. Don't stop out of spite. From what I can tell, it is not who you are.
The feeling of doing stuff for others is a real buzz. Its like you are making goodness. A thank you is payment in full. Its a pity voluntary work is seen as pointless.
I’m a 55 year old female and completely agree with you. My husband and I have a wonderful marriage of 35 years because we have always recognized that we are partners and have different contributing strengths and abilities to make the marriage and family thrive.
I went on a date with a girl some months back, opened the door for her, and she said annoyed 'I can open my own door!' Ugh, that was that. These people are brainwashed truly...
Wow. I can’t even process that, as a woman. I am so grateful there are still good men out there. Thank for helping her even though she doesn’t seem to have deserved it.
Absolutely 💯 correct as a woman stuck in the snow a time or 3 I have always always given or offered to pay or mail if they would accept it. Most of them would just take a 10.00 or 20.00 depending on what I had on me at the time. So sad these younger people are so ungrateful to anyone person that does a kind act, just so sad. May I thank you to for expressing thanks to Cody n his team 4 the help they gave. Its just a courtesy as much as it is a gift they even drove by. RURAL areas she should be very grateful he wasn't an age murderer or rapist. But those thoughts are just that could have been worse for her. Mrs. W HAS HERSELF A WONDERFUL HUSBAND.
When I'm able to help someone stranded I tell them I didn't stop for money as I have an income, but they can help someone they find and pass it along down the line, I'd rather have them benifit themselves by helping the next person
People like her just makes it harder for the next person to get helped. It really doesn't change me from helping but I know a few people who just won't help anymore
I’m 25 and have been married for 3 years. I am blessed that my wife grew up an Idaho girl and was raised in an old school house where men have their rolls and women have there’s. What society needs to realize is that men and women are created equal but play different rolls and if we work together and help each other we can live our best lives.
Man has Dominion. That's Biblical. Too many women don't understand nor follow that ideal created by God Himself. Woman was created for man, not the other way around. Sorry girls. God will judge each of us according to His design and our cooperation with that. Men do an awful lot to make our lives easier. We can either be the helpmate we were intended to be, or live out our lives fighting and being miserable. Men love women who look and act like women. (Dresses anyone?) Making a favorite meal. Baking a pie or cake. Keeping the house clean. Taking time out for a date night. Wonderful you and your wife are in harmony. Sounds like she's got it together and you're going to be content until death do you part.
Really.. Well done You. I must confess to being ever so slightly jealous but in a nice way, and I'm almost never prone to feeling like that. Genuinely wish you both every blessing, happiness and health.
As 50 year old lady, there has *NEVER* been a single time in my life when any gentleman (or anyone) held the door open for me, or opened a car door for me or gone out of their way to help me in any way at all, out of the goodness of their hearts, that I didn’t express my true appreciation. And there never will be. I’ve helped strangers before and they behaved like I was their butler, and didn’t even acknowledge what I’d done. Never ceases to blow my mind how unappreciative and rude some are.
That breaks my heart. I'm 48 and I'm still the Chivalrous gentleman despite how unappreciative women could be. I'm more concerned with how I conduct myself instead of how others are.
Several times I have opened the door for women who were feminists and was told in an angry tone "I DON'T NEED YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME" and they refused to walk through! The first time I just said whatever and went about my business! Every time since I don't say a word I just go through the door then hold it shut and laugh at them and say find another way in! Once one decided to have a tug of war with me and as soon as she yanked on the door I let go and she ended up on her backside! Put a smile on my face the rest of the day!
Good on you for helping her out, I’m still at a loss from her reaction. My kids and I stopped at a gas station last Sunday afternoon on our way home from taking care of my daughter’s horse. It’s been rainy here, so we all had muddy boots and pants, looking pretty rough overall I’m sure. There was a young lady in line ahead of us that was buying $3 worth of gas, telling the clerk she was hoping it was enough to get her to work. She looked at my kids laughing and told them getting muddy is fun stuff. My daughter, who is 11, asked if she could use some money she got at Christmas to buy the girl some more gas. I was so proud of my little girl at that moment. Outside we caught up with her by the pump and filled up her old Suburban and ended up giving her what cash I had on me (maybe $70). I also gave her my number and told her to call me if she got in a bind. She gave us all a big hug and thanked us multiple times. I’m so proud of my little girl, maybe there’s some hope for future generations after all (I’m 44 and say that half-jokingly).
This is a very important topic especially in regards to women. There was a man in my area who pulled over and helped a woman change her flat tire. Later he was arrested for sexual harassment. Now no man in my area is willing to help a woman who's stuck on the side of the road unless she is a relative.
@The Badderman Many of us were in the bar when word came that he was arrested. Later the charges were dropped and he was released because the woman had one of those recording devices that hang from the rear view mirror. She actually had evidence that he made no advances at her at all. Apparently she was just one of these city born feminist throwing a fit because some man condescended to help her with something. I also note that she got no charges placed against her for falsely accusing and having someone arrested. The judge apparently decided just to throw it out.
As a mother of sons, it angers me seeing woman acting like that towards men cause I want my sons to have the confidence and not be scared in finding a woman who will respect them when it's time. Yes, you men out there do deserve respect especially when helping others out.
Man, you hit the nail on the head there. As a recently retired secondary teacher in the UK, I do feel that there is a whole bunch of kids coming through who are far too entitled. I gave up countless hours of my time taking kids into the mountains and so rarely did either the kids, or their parents, say thanks. The parents would usually pull up in their car at school and sit in it waiting for their child. When I was a kid doing things like that my parents always made a point of thanking the trip leader. Like you say, just not raised right.
One of the most important lessons I ever got was from my great grandfather. He used to always go out and try to help his significantly younger, not very appreciative neighbors shovel their walks during the winter. My region gets some pretty nasty winters, too. Keep in mind this is a guy in his late 70's already when I was born, but also one of the physically toughest guys I ever met. Even when he was in his early 90's he'd still go out there and try to help his neighbors with their walks, even though it was clearly quite painful for him, and my dad, my grandfather, my uncles myself and my brother when we'd visit quickly decided the only way to keep him from hurting himself was to sneak out and somehow manage to beat him to doing it first. My great grandfather's response once he caught on was to literally get up before sun up and do so. I don't remember who asked him why he did it but once they did, my great grandfather gave a very simple to the point answer: "So they know it's okay to help your neighbors." Eventually my great grandfather got to old, and was in to much pain to be able to shovel his own driveway and sidewalk. But we'd always find someone had already done it for him when he'd go over there on snowy days to help him out. Don't know who it was, but his lesson had stuck with someone. As difficult as it is, just remember the good we do to others, often has a way of coming back to us in one way or another.
I'm a woman, though no longer young. I have been thankful my entire life for all that men do. I grew up watching my dad work hard. Watching my brothers work hard. Working hard with them when I could, and literally making dinner and doing laundry when I couldn't. Too man young people never SEE work being done. Things magically happen.
I stopped to help a family change a spare tire. The husband was in nice clothes, and there was mom, and three kids in the van. I was in scrubby clothes and had the opportunity to help. I did not recognize any of the adults, as I was more intent on changing the tire. I was shocked to hear one of the County Commissioners, at the next Commission meeting, gave me kudos for helping his family out. That was very nice of him to thank me in a public meeting.
Some years ago my friend Bill and I were driving to Chaco NM on a dirt road that even the National Park Service warns people about when we came upon a woman from LA and her 9 year old daughter in a Buick sedan with a flat tire. She was so relieved to see a woman with a man who changed her tire. Bill refused to accept any pay so she asked our names and addresses and two weeks later we received beautiful gift baskets from LA. I'm so glad we were able to make their visit to amazing Chaco a memorable experience.
This hit the nail on the head. I try to teach my girls to have an attitude of gratitude. Young women today seem to have either a victim mentality or just expect everything handed to them.
I drive a truck delivering food to upity ski resorts and resort towns for a living. The amount of disrespect and disregard I see for me and my fellow trucker brothers is at times unbearable. This is some of the most horrible weather I have ever had to drive in… it is extremely stressful. I don’t know what to do or or how to demonstrate the vital nature of what I and other truck drivers do, especially this time of year… maybe we should just walk away… it has crossed my mind many many times as of late.
One of my delivery drivers was out and I ran his route one day. The female receptionist at one of my stops was incredibly rude to me. She thought I was just a delivery guy and didn’t know I was the GM. I had a meeting with that business to renegotiate their contract a week later. She didn’t remember me, but wow was she incredibly nice to me when I walked in wearing a suit and tie. I learned a lot that day - she didn’t.
I drove a tow truck for a few years back in 99-2004 when I was in my 30's. We would get snow-birds that would break down on I-75 through the heart of Florida. I have left several on the side of the road after they refused to stop cussing at me. One in particular, she was a high-strung, fowl mouthed yankee and immediately started dropping f-bombs. I cut her off and explained that we were the only AAA contractor in the area and if she did not stop berating me I would drive off and call AAA to tell them what was going on and they would not re-dispatch me to assist her. That lasted about 5 minutes until I asked her what she planned to do with the trailer she was towing. She told me I should have brought a bigger flat bed because the last time she needed a tow her truck and trailer fit on the deck. As nicely as I could, I explained that no such tow truck existed and that it would have to have a 40' deck. The f-bombs started again and I just calmly walked away and got in my truck and drove off, she was screaming f-bombs and flipping me off as I drove by. The weird thing is, I was working a wreck and had just finished when the call came in. I was less than 200 feet from her and could see her red chevy blazer and trailer just in front of me. My response time was literally less than 3 minutes and I thought, this lady is going to think the AAA contractors in florida are super-two operators with that kind of ETA. I was wrong.
@@notreallyme425 I am not a truck driver, but I know a thing or two about logistics. If one imagines the interstate highways as arteries, and the county roads as capillaries, then each truck is like a blood cell. When the flow of blood stops, the body begins to die. So it is with trucks. Respect for you, your brothers and sisters on the road! Drive safe and I hope you have a happy new year! 👍
As a 22 year old man I can say I feel the same way. I think culturally our nation is dammed, but each of us can do a lot to affect our individual communities and at the very least be a steady handed example of what a respectable man is.
This generation of “entitlement and instant gratification pervades every group, society, neighborhood, etc. You still did the right thing. Good for you. You will receive more Blessings.
I am dealing with this at home, my wife wasn't always like this but it's come to a point. I don't know how to walk away from this because we have a child and what message this sends to the child. I am sitting here at the fork in the road setting up camp to ponder the meaning of life due to moral dilemmas.
Get still and pray. Ask God to help you be discerning, to see things as they truly are. Ask him to guide you to be honest w/yourself, for any responsibility, then ask him to guide you as you earnestly try to make things better for all in (your home), tobe the best man God gave us the abilities to be. This will most likely be hard, our enemy (satan) wants you to get mad and call out blame only. With your heart set to get to the root of problems, earnestly trying to do right, (and promptly acknowledge it when we stumble, ask for forgiveness and guidance, and adjust). Love, honesty, discernment. I'll be praying God works in your home and hearts. "Slow to anger, quick to forgive" doesn't mean we're weak, and "turn the other cheek" doesnt mean we're supppsed to let others walk over and take advantage of us. Be upright and honest w/God and self, in all affairs. Standing with you, brother. Edit:12:30 rephrase
my friend, i hope you solved this somehow. but if its still something that bothers you, break it down to her exactly how wranglerstar said it from 6:38 til 9:04. maybe tell her that immediately after you help her and you see shes not thankful. hope everything is well.
What message does sticking around and putting up with it send to the child? I know it's tough, with custody battles the way they are. Nonzero chance the child ends up alienated from you and raised by the mother you're trying to separate from. But it's worth considering what message sticking around and putting up with it sends. Maybe there's another way to address the issue, like others have said. If your work isn't appreciated, then maybe it's not warranted.
What message are you sending to your child by being a cuck in your own home? Your son will never want to marry a woman if you don’t set a better example
Cody, after watching this I can tell you almost for certainly that it wasn't you... it was your Glock on your chest. She was an antigunner. I used to live in a liberal town in Colorado (that was very conservative just a short while ago) and I quit carrying open in public because of situations like this. The media and the public schools have made us men who belive in old school ways and being a protector out to be 'toxic' in today's new world... including wearing a gun. My suggestion... conceal carry. I know, I know. It's not always idealistic... but it is what we have allowed to become. Good speed and God bless you and your family.
Situations like this should make US change our behavior. If she has to interact with more and more people like us on a daily basis maybe she'll see the need for some decency...
Disagreeing with somebodies beliefs doesn't give you a pass to be a nasty person. Cody lives in an area where that may be the norm. Sure, it would be easy to change in order to appease others. I don't see him doing that though.
As a woman from the baby boomer generation, I learned gratitude and respect from my parent's example. I'm filled with gratitude for any help I receive and make it known. I'm sorry you were disrespected.
I Thank you on behalf of all women. I’m 63 but would have offered some labor in return. I am a great cook, child carer and cleaner. And a retired nurse. Thank you for helping that titled woman. From those of us who appreciate assistance and Love to offer our help. ❤️
You are absolutely right. Men like yourself and my father (electrician) have made the world so convenient us that some don’t see what men like you do to allow us to live the lives we do. Thank you 🇯🇲👊🏾🇺🇸
True story. Women take it for granted the work that keeps society going. As more and more men seem to be walking away from society, I would hope that this brings the pendulum back the other way.
You are right. Good women are hard to find. I've been married for 23 years. My husband has cancer now and he still does for me ( because he can't work anymore) he's home now all the time and I still feel I'm not doing enough. These brats will get they're due. Have you heard of Phillis Shilaffly, I'm sure that's wrong spell. Anyway, she was against the woman's movement. It was designed to destroy the family. Please take heart, YOU ARE APPRECIATED. ~ LUISA The Lord does speak about this.
My husband & I tried to help an older couple one day & the lady was super disrespectful to her husband & my husband & we did not let it change how we are we just used it as a teaching moment for our daughter & a year later the lady came back and apologized to us & let me tell you it meant so much & was super nice because our daughter got to see it.
If any of yall are wondering why your son or grandson is having such a hard time dating, this is why. Thank you for this, it's nice to know that some of the older generations understand.
This really hit a nerve with me, I thought I brought my daughter up to respect men and I thought I also showed respect to my wife(who is amazing) and have always been able to support my family and my wife was able to stay home raise the kids and work with our animals. Unfortunately, after my daughter was old enough to head out on her own she went to Colorado, and also spent some time in Portland Oregon and that was when we noticed a change in her, she is now 27 she hates all men, says the woman has been "kept down" and she always says "I'm mansplaing" what ever that is to her. She says that men are pigs and says that my wife and I live in a hillbilly lifestyle and that me opening a door or helping a woman is a insult. I think social media like RUclips, Facebook and Twitter has caused allot of this. I'm sadden by how it has turned my daughter into such a feminazi, and has really hurt the father/daughter relationship. By the way, that would of been what my daughter probably would of done as well to you, unacceptable
Thinking anyone who is 27 is who the will be for life or indicative of what a whole groups of people thinks is right up there with thinking a born billionaire gives a shiii about the middle class. And if we're going all Manly man on this ... she lived with you for 18 years ... taking responsibility for you actions and trying hard to fix it is something I had instilled in the Navy. Nothing the jabberwocky on AM talk radio every push on the muppets they spew lies for, nor encourage in their listeners. One of the beautiful thinks about listening and trying to understand someone is that you can help them to figure out the flaws in their logic. And also why those guys on AM radio don't allow questions. Your daughter is a feminazi ... what does that mean? She says you're 'mansplaining" all the time? Then how would she like to have things explained, and being verbose is just kind of what guys do. (and I'm doing now.). Just as women tend to talk more. And like most societal issues, this is likely related to mental health. There are professionals who can help. Not uncommon for ppl (especially in their 20s) to have trouble when the realize the ppl they thought were perfect aren't.
It's hard to tell if you're telling the truth, also who knows how you talk to your daughter. Your post sounds like an anti-woke rant, so it's hard for me to tell if you mean it or you're just trying to promote some kind of ideology. I'm not accusing you of lying, but I don't know you from Adam. Maybe you could spend some time with your daughter and she can explain to you exactly what her problem is. You deserve respect but so does she as an adult. If she is mad out of the blue, maybe there's a historical reason for that
Sir I couldn’t agree more and I’m sorry for your troubles, I got rid of social media when I was 21 man… I realized at that age that social media is trash it brings ppl down. I SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE ANYONE TO DELETE ALL OF IT FOR A MONTH OR 2! And tell me you’re life isn’t better. All your “friends” you’ll see who’s actually calling or texting you to stay in touch. Not to mention when see ppl you know just out and about. You actually have something to talk about with them.
As a woman I greatly respect the men who treat me with respect and kindness. That is a two way street. We’re all on this planet together and we need each other. Thank you for being the man you are. Don’t let the disrespectful change your heart. Thank you for being an excellent example for young men and bringing this issue to light.
@@gabethedizzle It would seem that you are part of the problem. Why would you jump from the gate and disbelieve someone? You could have had your impression and scrolled right on pass, but no you had to take a gouge where none was needed. Draw from within why you are who you are. This person is speaking from and about respect, something you need a little more of.
As a fellow woman, amen to this!! 🎉 I was raised with heroic, real men who always looked out for me, and still do, and I LOVE that. I try to be independent and strong, but sometimes you just need a *man’s* help, and I love all the men who have ever rescued me or rescued anyone else for that matter. If you’re that type of man and reading this, THANK YOU-men like you are worth gold. ❤️
I’m actually so glad that someone has taken a notice to the strange changes in society lately. Really hit the nail on the head with the fact that it is tremendously hard to find a suitable woman as a young man these days because it is true. They use us, abuse us, and discard us with our care. Without respect. Without appreciation.
I'm waiting for the day that it's no longer illegal to deal with entitled people the way nature intended. There's going to be so much Darwinism and humility dished out, soon. Respect will be a lesson relearned in our lifetime.
This is why MGTOW ( Men Going Their Own Way ) is a serious thing now. For the younger generation, quiet frankly I recommend it... because the situation is THAT bad! Alternatively maybe marry someone from another country that is still half way sane. Maybe find an older women who hasn't been completely brainwashed by hollywood, social media and the school system.
I am so sorry to hear that. I pray that you do find a nice girl soon. Oh dear, I wonder if I can even say that kind of thing on here anymore, without being labeled a racist, sexist or a genderist! Anyway, Best wishes to you!
My spouse and I tried helping out a young newlywed couple last year, we're military and try to help out soldiers in the unit. Gave them a place to live for about half a year, so they could have time to find their own. They ate out of our fridge, never did any cleaning around the house, used our internet enough to make the ISP send us an increased bill; Never even told us thanks when they left, and they left the livingroom thrashed with trash everywhere and the TV on. We rarely bothered them, only spoke to them to let them know dinner was done. Gave them the utmost respect for space that we could. In the end, they just used the hell out of us and have never spoken to us again. I will never open my home to another person ever again. We don't try to make friends anymore, because everyone we meet treats us this way. Your experience reminded me of it.
Sometimes it’s those courageous conversations that need to be had to help people that should know better or maybe don’t know any better, to make a course correction in their lives. It’s your house, you make the rules. You can still give people their space but don’t let them disrespect your space. Peace.
so sorry, I have learned the hard way that you have to have ground rules before you allow someone into your home. Don't allow the nasty in someone else change the nice in you.
Don't trust people, let them earn your trust. Otherwise keep on trying to be kind, but do it selectively. Another thing to note, some of it's generational issues, and some of it is certain areas of the country too. So don't give up completely, trust me, and this is coming from an introvert. :-D
I wonder if her hatred of guns and people who have them, overroad her thankfulness for pulling her out of the ditch. To her, when she saw your gun on your chest, you became a symbol of everything she hates. A thought anyway, Good man and carry on.
As a woman this drives me nuts. I thank everyone for helping me regardless if it's something small or big. I lost power the day before yesterday and stopped at my local gas station to grab something hot before I went home. I ran into my electric lineman and offered to buy them coffee. Thank them for coming out in this horrible weather, they told me the manager already took care of them. I still thanked them immensely, they were climbing into bucket trucks and fixing the power lines during a storm that had 50 mph wind gust and driving snow. Within an hour my power was back on, and I was grateful.
Everyone has the power to control what they do. You do not have the power to control what others do. You probably got the first lady all upset because you were driving in a stinky Diesel and you were wrecking the environment. How DARE you as Greta would say. Cody, you should have mushed up there with a sled and some Alaskan Husky dogs.. But those dogs need meat, so how DARE you again. Life will be a soy sandwich if they get their way after becoming government regulators. If someone offers to pay me for helping them, I just tell them they can give a donation to my church or better yet an equivalent amount to their church. Doesn't matter if they do it but the impression gets made.
I'm 27 and just got out of an 8-year relationship and I agree with you so much. It feels so good to finally have somebody acknowledge what's happening and honestly I blame it all on the Kardashians..... This "reality" tv gives women a false idea of how life is supposed to be.
There are probably more factors than that alone, but they definitely make a good contribution to be one of the main influences in that regard. People will put on a pretty face for the rest of the world to see for whatever reason, and lot of influential people take it to the extreme. Whether it's intentional or not is up for debate in my eyes, but it's still happening when it doesn't need to/more than it ought to. Perhaps it can be tied to the whole "put your best foot forward" concept, but that's just me thinking outside the box a little bit.
social media is also a huge cause of this as well.. Its really hard to actually find a girl who is just a decent person now days.. Im also 27 and I honestly have given up on finding someone..
I love how you speak whats on your mind and don't sugar coat everything like everyone else does these days. Need more of that... especially now. Good message Cody!
I live in California and have seen a lot of this sort of entitlement kind of thing. I think the only thing to fix this is for them to experience some real heartache, some hardship so they appreciate it when people do something for others.
Me and my fiancee had a flat tire while driving out on the countryside a while back. We had a spare tire but the bolts had gotten stuck and we didn't have the tools to loosen them, really frustrating. A lot of cars drove past us but after some time a young guy stopped and asked if we needed help. We explained the problem and he drove of to his garage nearby to get some tools. He then came back and helped us. We were super thankful and offered to pay him but he refused. I don't understand how you can not show appreciation when someone saves your day.
@The Badderman, it seems like the point of his story is summarized in his last sentence, "I don't understand how you can not show appreciation when someone saves your day". His comment about a lot of cars that drove by was the description of the incident as he experienced it, and had no derogatory tone. Now days, many don't stop by anymore because they assume that one has a cell phone and can call for help, but it reality, that is not always the case.
As a traditional millennial woman, I sincerely apologize for that lady’s behavior. I treat everyone that comes through my door with the upmost respect. I had an older gentleman that came to help me with my garage door at 8am, I was making myself a Nespresso and bought him a cup of warm coffee as well. I’ll never forget him telling me that no one has bought him a drink in over 26 years of doing his craft. That made me so sad 😭
As someone in my early 20's, thank you for this. It is a diseas amongst many western young girls. The system they grew up in told them they were special meanwhile boys were not allowed to be boys anymore. So now we have a young generation of entitled stuck up girls and boys who can't fend for themselves and don't know how to stand up for themeselves because it was always oppressed by teachers, parents,... I have given up trying to find a partner because I know we will value different things. She will want a 'modern man' chasing tiktok clout while I want to engagewith people on a deeper level. And the ship has sailed, there is little we can do to stop it let alone reverse the cycle. Until something truly societyaltering happens.
Don’t give up! I’m your surrogate Mom here. The are appreciative young women and men out there. I raised my children like that who are similar to you in age!
Man i can totally feel what you´re saying. Everywhere you look there are people my age who identify themselves through a relationship and depend on them so heavy that they can´t live a normal life exploring and discovering themselves. Tbh i´ve also given up on "chasing" a girlfriend because someday the right one will come and till then i can wait and be happy and enjoy life on my own. So keep on rocking brother! :D
Yes, these are difficult times. Myself, I've resigned myself to the fact that most of my fellow citizens are nothing more than unreasoning animals. On a positive note, it makes meeting someone with character and constitution so much more rewarding!
So when my boy was five he raced to a restaurant door and pushed a woman out of the way to open the door for her. Now he’s 22. After seeing this, he just might start pushing them out of the way again 😂😂😂
Hi Cody. I could feel your frustration through this whole post. I have lived a life of community service, as a firefighter, Scout leader, EMS, fire service instructor and being a helpful neighbor, as you are. I stopped one day to help a young lady that had been towing a boat. The hitch coupler came unconnected and the trailer Tongue was wedged under her car. I got the hitch reconnected and gave her my spare safety pin. the light wire pig tail was cut through, so I repaired that. All the time I was working she kept asking why I was doing it, why would I do it, what was I helping her for. She could not wrap her mind around the fact that I was just being helpful and kind to a stranger in need. When I said I was all done, she got in her car and drove away acting like I had inconvenienced her. No thanks or even a smile.
I chalk it up, mainly to city folk vs rural folk. A city raised person is wise to question the motives of anyone who's offering free help because in the city nobody's expected to be able to afford the time or effort without getting something out of it. Friendliness from strangers is suspicious and frightening for them - they end up instant fight or flight mode. Conversely they themselves are always in a rush, too busy looking for their next buck to just help someone out. They're victims of circumstance as much as whoever they happen to interact with, they've appropriated an missapplied these words such as "community" because they have no idea what one actually is. In the city, everyone's an outcast, an opportunist criminal or scammer waiting in the wings until otherwise proven. And the subtle fear that the most dangerous thing around you is your own species is always drilled into the back of the mind of a city dweller.
@@TheYahmez I agree with you 100%. I also would like to add that it’s not just city folks. I think of two separate times off the top of my head when a “country girl” was equally jaded. One driving an old ford dully farm truck. Broke down on the side of the highway with a flat tire. I thought big heavy tire and all alone. So, I turned back on the interstate and stopped to offer her help. She looked at me as if I was that said “city slicker “ looking to do her harm. Broad daylight, busy interstate. I just simply turned back and said have a good day. Thought she was going to shoot me in the back for even stopping. Another was a white middle aged woman who actually hissed at me for holding the door to a restaurant open for her to walk in. Both where Pre-chinese flu..
Years ago I held an elevator button for a girl hurrying towards it. When she got in the lift, she berated me for holding the lift for her, apparently it is demeaning for her. So I waited for her to finish and gave her a damned lecture on how some people were brought up to show respect to ladies, and that when she was racing to the door I had no way of knowing that she was not one. Two older woman in the back of the elevator clapped the speech and she had to stand there red-faced as the slow lift went up a couple of floors. I still will always open doors, give up my seat on the bus, offer to help, because of the decent ones still out there.
You can't enstill values to someone via a 2 min conversation. It takes good parenting over many years. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let things like this bother you.
True but he probably did her a second favor by bringing her behavior to her attention. Her parents didn't raise her right so maybe she needs to have that pointed out so she can examine that. Society reenforces bad behavior but that's first learnt at home.
I'm glad people are starting to come out and speak about this weird attitude and behavior with a lot of people. I open doors for others and help wherever I can and 90% percent of the time it is no look in the eye, not even a smile. Like you said not looking for a parade down the street but WOW society has really turned. I tell my wife what worries me the most when things go wrong in society is people!
I'm 82, a retired Air force Colonel, grew up in the South, have lived all over the world and lived in Tennessee for the past 25 years. We are being overrun with Californians the past ten years. I've seen southern hospitality, good manners, friendly greetings, smiling faces, steadily eroded and it's almost always coming from a young woman who is getting into her Tesla with California plates. I say to them, You are welcome here, just leave what you ran away from there and don't bring it here. It's definitely a generational thing. It's the parents of these young folks doing this who are fault. They never taught them how to act and behave. Great video . I hope thousands see it and learn from it.
It isn't the parents other than them delegating child rearing to day care and then schools which have become little more than indoctrination centers.Two incomes became necessary to maintain the "consumer" economy.The family suffered. Marxists needed to break the nuclear family and eliminate family as an individuals first loyalty. Only loyalty to the state is acceptable. They succeeded. Californians are the vanguard of that along with NY,NJ and MD. PA has the Achilles heels of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Nothing works and it is a hateful rat race but they will tell you that you are stuck in a bigoted,racist, colonialist,economically unfair past that none of them have ever experienced. They just parrot what they have been told. Virtue signaling has replaced actual virtue. Walk away and let it collapse.
My father always did and still does tell me “the world owes you no favors, so when you do receive them be genuinely humbled and thankful and ALWAYS pay it back to someone else” he also says constantly “pay attention to the world around you” meaning other people than me exist- Acknowledge that… unfortunately most don’t.
A tow truck Guy pulled my Car out of a bad spot, and I swear I thanked him over and over and told him how grateful I was for his help. I could never imagine not expressing gratitude for help I have received. I am a 55 year old Woman. So Cody, THANK YOU for everything, and I mean, everything that you do for your community! May God bless you and your family! 🙏
There’s a definite disconnect for some younger people. I rented some rooms to some 20 something adults. They really took a lot for granted and really didn’t try to respect my house like it was their own. I was baffled by this behavior, until I heard and saw it over and over from others. I get being young but blatantly taking advantage with no thanks is not ok.
Boy did you hit the nail on the head.. and a nerve for all those you’ve “triggered” 😆 As a 30 year old male I’ve been privy to this for many years. I’ve been berated on numerous occasions for coming to the aid of what was a young woman struggling with ____. I’m a rather charismatic, un-intimidating, and unassuming individual as well-so it’s not like I was doing these things in arrogance or with an air of superiority. Anyways, in every case I was told that I was degrading that individual because by helping I had “assumed” they were incapable of doing said activity themselves. Since when did opening a door, changing a tire or grabbing someone’s luggage become a form of feminine degradation? Such are the times we’re in... 🤷🏼♂️
I’m the same age. I had a terrible day at work. Told her about it on the way home. All she had to say was sorry and wish she could cheer me up ( which would be real simple, what cheers a hard working man up?) when I got home she couldn’t be bothered to pause from folding a towel to embrace me. I became the bad guy when I didn’t want to answer her rhetorical what’s wrong.
I’m a woman, live in Texas, and used to travel alone, and a few times I got in a bind, and men came to my rescue. They were like angels in my sight. I’ve always appreciated any man wanting to help me-no matter what it’s for. I don’t understand these women. There are men like this too-I “very briefly” dated a guy who didn’t like to be given advice or suggestions whatsoever by a woman, no matter how much that woman cared or had his best interest in mind. What’s wrong with these people? The world is better when we all look out and care for each other. I run from people who can’t graciously accept help! 😬
@@xadaux9184 Is this person your wife? If so, I’m really sorry she didn’t show compassion. :( Maybe try the Love Dare book on her-maybe she’s just so overwhelmed with life that she’s forgotten how to show love. Sending you a hug from Texas!
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist I know there are crappy guys, but I don't think I have run across a woman under 35 that "cared" in the way you meant. But I can count guys that I know that do or would. Most women seem to only care about themselves, and shallow things. This is even In Christian circles, I don't know how they learned that.
I don’t think it’s always necessarily a lack of respect or courtesy. It has become pretty common for women to think the world should be handed to them on a silver platter, but I think culture in the last decade has instilled the mindset that women should be fearful and suspicious of every man they come in contact with that they don’t know, and that’s where it comes off disrespectful. And they should be a self-aware of the people around them! Everyone should. Its unfortunate that as men, we can’t lend a hand to a woman without them thinking we want some kind of grand favor in return. A smile and a genuine thank you goes a long way.
This won’t be the last time that individual find’s herself in a vicarious position. Bad manners is just a reflection of poor decision making all around.
I think you nailed it with our "princess" and "everyone gets an award" societal norms. Even some of my own children act this way at times, and they get immediately corrected. We only get them for a limited time, the rest of the time they are being trained by what they observe on social media, at school, at work, and with their friends. Our way of life is definitely at risk. Morality of the past is being rapidly eroded.
@@davebanach9891 I don’t think it ever was looking that way a 1000 years ago, 500 years ago, 100 years ago or 50 years ago. Someone not saying “thanks” these days is apparently the end of the world but 150 years ago it was acceptable to treat fellow humans like animals and make them your personal slave. 50 years ago beating up a black guy and even killing a guy for being black was acceptable. Treating women like 2nd class citizens also totally acceptable. Get over yourself. Such crybabies.
@@MustObeyTheRules man you're just a pile of excuses huh all completely irrelevant to the point that the Next Generation is extremely selfish entitled and expect specific treatment while also never giving it to anybody else gen Z's work ethic makes Millennials look like Roman Legions and we're still nothing compared to the people who fought in the world wars and live through the Great Depression but at least we are raised to know that life was tough and giving up isn't an option
My last marriage fell apart because my wife "expected" all these things from me and refused to even recognized when I sacrificed for her or us, just to help her with her goals and dreams. Now I'm 43, single, trying to date again and experiencing this on a regular basis. I fear I will not find a good woman who can help contribute, see my worth, and help build a successful relationship.
Don't be fearful Brother. Men don't need women. With a group of close mates who recognise your value, forge your own path. That is a very powerful attraction for a good woman. She will find you.
Preach! I have seen this in my own life. As a residential general contractor for 15 years... all we want is a little respect and kind word for the MEN things we provide. I have heard countless times from female clients, designers, vendors ... "well, you don't have a real job..." "you're just a builder" Thank you for doing this video, Cody... So many of the men I work with have these same thoughts and concerns.
"well, you don't have a real job..." "you're just a builder". Wow.. just wow. Un-fricking believable. How do these arseholes think things get built then?
I've got a few thoughts based on similar situations I've encountered helping other people out around here who were stuck in the snow. We've got a similar climate and opportunities abound. 1. Thanks are typically only given in about 50% of cases, with half of those "thank you's" delivered frowning and curtly. 1b. The only ones who thank me are the ones who know me (eg neighbors). 2. It usually doesn't work out well to just show up and start helping (which is my instinct). Nowadays, I'm more likely to pull up, roll down the window, and ask if they would like a hand. Gauge the attitude and the situation. If they seem ambivalent, I move on. 3. If they want help, I'll hand them a shovel while I hook up the strap to my truck. I Let them crawl under their car after they dig and hook it up themselves 4. I try to remember the people who've pulled me out over the years...many of them strangers. 5. I also wonder if this isn't how God feels about our attitudes when we ask for more and more, when we already have it all 6. Let your thankless service to others be an act of thanksgiving and worship. Sometimes this happens to remind us of our ego that may be looking for value in the wrong places.
You can either go through life being miserable or being kind and courteous. The manner in which we interact tends to spread like fire... offer a compliment, hold a door open, lend a helping hand, heck even a smile can brighten someone's day and in turn they may then go on to pay it forward and spread some kindness in a branching domino like effect. Same goes with spreading misery and rudeness. Imagine a world where we all treat each other with a little respect and kindness! I was taught to be a gentleman and offer help whenever possible, we need to keep teaching this. Thank you Cody for keeping this tradition alive 🥰
Simping for women these days make them look at disgust at you as it indicates you are of low value. Young men just look for casual hookups with women, no relationship and you'll be okay.
Seen this on MTR and I stopped as well, I stopped pulling over and all that I’m not helping anymore unless it’s my customers on some work to add to my great income…..if they can’t respect it then we will stop it in general
I go out of my way anytime I see someone on the side of the road. Many of those times my son was with me and one time he asked me “why did you do that?” I told him because my Dad did it , and I’m doing it because it’s just right thing to do, and always look out for your fellow man/women, because one day it might be you needing a hand. This new generation of entitlement is just beyond words.
There was a time when I did this too...but where I live it can now get you killed. Even out away from downtown, in the "rural" areas outside of Cleveland, you have to watch yourself and your back every damn minute. Too many people, too close together, and the criminal element is desperate. I will see someone stranded and call local police to let them know, but I won't stop to help. :( This world is really in trouble anymore.

Thank you for politely saying what we're all thinking. I spent 12 precious years of my life in two relationships with women who essentially treated me this way. Entitled women from broken families are a curse for our humanities future. Not saying men from similar homes are much better... But my Lord how the times have changed for the worse in society.
I walk to drop off an pick up my son from school everyday. It's a college prep school, so it's a small k-12. I have to walk by the high school age kids everyday and I thought they were incredibly disrespectful. No one says thanks or excuse me. No one makes eye contact. It's just weird...but what I have been realizing is that it is a lack of social confidence and skills. That may not have been the case with this lady, but realizing this has helped me get less upset about it and just try to help.
A year ago I would have said "if people are not taught manners when they are young - they will never have manners !" especially before they are seven years old . I have noticed since covid , a lot of my friends don't call , or phone and neither do I . I stopped calling people about the same time , I was not going out much , so seen a lot less of the people I knew , so I didn't have much to say and I never wanted to put my friends in an awkward position either . Fellowship is a wonderful thing , looking back at my life , and I will have to do something about it . Nobody else can or will do it for me !
I hear you! My son is in his 30's and an Afghan combat vet and can't find a woman who wants to get married, be a wife, and have children. I've seen it too. I taught in college and high school for about 20 years and watched the gradual erosion of masculinity by our culture.
There has been a war against men for decades. As a believer, it's easy to know why. The enemy is doing all he can to rip apart the family unit. Just one example: Most sitcoms in the past 20 or so years have portrayed the leading male as a buffoon. The leading female is always the smartest of the two. These types of things have societal consequences. Your example of the Disney princess mentality is another one. It really is as simple as good vs. evil. God vs. the devil. Anything in this world that is contrary to The Word of God comes from Satan. It all boils down to that. Work as though you are working for the Lord. Don't be discouraged. You know you're on the narrow path. God bless, brother.
We can also intentionally choose to recognize that we deal with “the least of these” way to often, but choose to walk the high road even when criticized . Looking in the mirror with a clear conscience, and kneeling by the bed at night without guilt is worth more than anyone else’s respect or all the cash in the world. Keep fighting the fight brother!
That is amazing that someone would have that attitude. You hit the nail on the head in the end. I have an amazing wife who teaches our children and does so much I couldn’t do because I’m providing. Her work at home is just as important. We are a team that appreciates and values each other. That woman either had no raising or allowed her narcissistic mind to be warped at some point. She’ll have a hard time in life. On a side note you’re going to have to start a wrecker service soon. 😂
Far too many do. I`ll stop to help anybody but a white female unless it`s an elderly lady. I want absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with them anymore. Not tolerating it.
I remember when I helped a man with a flat battery many years ago. I drove back 10 miles to get jumper cables. Started his car and he drove away without even a thanks. But what is the world going if we dont help each other, a hell hole. Dont let the idiots get to you, the world is full of them and the only way to not let them win is to ignore them. You are a lucky man, your wife really loves you, her looks tells it all. Keep up the good work, I wish you all the best.
Man oh man…..probably my favorite video from you. I’m a 45 yr old father of 2 little girls, ages 9 and 6. I often get their evening snacks for them before bedtime (as my wife is doing other household chores). I always make them say thank you. My wife and also have them write out, and mail, thank you notes after birthday and Christmas gifts from friends and family. As a side note, I always tell my wife, “you can say whatever you like to me behind closed doors, but do not be disrespectful to me in front of our daughters.” As I watched your video, I had smoke rolling out of my ears, much like you did.
i am a young man of just 17, i grew up in a home with horrible parrents, litteral abusive drug addicts that brealy gave me food when i want hungry, and from that decided from a young age to raise myself, now ive been told im an old soul more times then i can count and every day i look back on sosciety and i wonder how i could have came from such a rotten environment and yet the people who have grown up in good familys and with decent lives could turn out to be so rotten them selfs.
Not defending lack of manners, having said that men/boys do it to themselves, she probably has a Tinder account, and if she has a pulse gets swiped right and told how great she is a hundred times a day by men/boys from around the world that give her a sense of self worth beyond any sense of reality. She's living in the matrix and until women stop getting validation for having a pulse, it aint gonna change.
Holy cow man. Some people are just rude, others just awkward. Why you’d have to make up some dumb story and Cody felt he had to rant about it is dumbfounding.
I agree about the ‘pulse’ thing, but there is another thing that women have that they think entitles them to be a witch with a capital B. Oddly enough, the name of that thing starts out with the same letters as ‘pulse’ does. That’s what makes women think they can act anyway they want.
My mom prays for me every day when I tell her about the women in the dating scene. Living in a city for college showed me that the foreign exchange girls from Europe were the nicest girls to go out with, a lot of them still have the same cultural values we’ve lost here in the states as sad as that is to say. My goal is to move south (I’m an east coast guy… I know, start now) and find a girl with some southern hospitality who was raised with some values.
Yeah dating in this day and age is an absolute nightmare. Girls are just so entitled nowadays, and honestly I blame social media. I think its because social media attention has made them feel more important than they actually are.
I'm very lucky to have a woman who is respectful, hardworking and loving. We are 23 and have just bought our first house together. It frustrates me that people and society as a whole constantly ask why we would commit to each other at such a young age. I think that is the problem. Its frowned upon to be honest, respectful and committed to someone else below the age of 30. Society has gone crazy!
i guarantee she didn’t like the glock on your chest holster…doesn’t understand why you feel you “need” to have that so you are immediately treated with disdain…. my brother hates that i conceal carry and thinks there is “no reason to have a gun”
youre probably right, id bet her socials are full of that ms independent men are evil leftist trash. So when the caricature of the thing she hates came to help her, she immediately became angry because everything she believes was proven wrong in that one encounter. So instead of reevaluating her beliefs she just holds him in contempt to protect her ego, because if she doesnt admit, by thanking him, that she actually needed his help, in her mind he didnt actually help her. He just did a thing.
Cody, as much as I don’t want to agree with you, you’re absolutely right. There’s a reason I’m 36 and still single. It’s also why I stopped doing stuff for my sister, and stopped talking to her. It’s ridiculous what she expects me to do for her. As if I’m her personal handyman and mechanic. And young men are losing their way as well.
Years ago I learned it was not the actions of others but merely my own expectations, now I expect nothing from anyone that way I never feel let down by anyone. I do expect 110% from myself at all times, but that's for me. Keep doing what your supposed to do and be happy with your own actions.
Good words Cody. I work as a cashier, and I have many of our power company line men (and a couple of women too!) Come through my line getting their lunch supplies at 6am or so. I always make them know that I appreciate their efforts to get the lights back on. It is such a small thing, but I know they appreciate it. Politeness and appreciation is like a lost art: when you practice it genuinely you feel good knowing that somebody has been acknowledged for their efforts. And really what better form of respect can be asked? Kindness, respect, and gratitude all go hand in hand. So Cody, thank you for being awesome! I know your neighbors appreciate what you bring. Take care, and I hope you and your family have a very Happy New Year! 👍
As I am 15 years old and growing and learning new things, you have been quite an inspiration. I couldn’t agree more from my point of view how society is changing and how just a little bit of appreciation can go a long way. Thank you for the video and I would love to see more videos of snow blowing instead of livestreams!
You live in the pacific northwest. I live in the southwest. Most all youngsters around me are respectful and show appreciation. I’ve spent considerable time in California and I lived in Louisiana for a few years. The self entitlement which I describe as “the world revolves around me” is a blue state, progressive phenomenon. You choose to live where you live for reasons and I choose to avoid for reasons. The south has much to admire and offer besides heat and humidity.
I can’t agree with you more. I appreciate men opening the door for me and offering to help and standing up to offer their chair. This was just awful. Thank you for all those men out there that are still gentlemen. I appreciate you so very much
I imagine she thought you were a government employee who's job it is to clear the roads and rescue stuck cars, that's how they treat people with jobs they see as beneath them, I would've paid to hear the conversation you had with her. You're a lucky guy to have a wife and family like that, seems more and more rare to see nowadays.
Lol just the other day I was telling my friend about the time a woman on the beach told me her husband was drowning. I rushed out to the water and saved him, brought him ashore and his wife wrapped him in a towel then they also left without saying a word of thanks. I'll still do it again
Unbelievable! No good deed goes unpunished. You OWE her! A few years ago I changed a flat for a younger girl at my service station, she had gone flat about a mile away. Our normal off lot driving charge to remove the tire, take it back to the shop and patch it, then drive back and remount it was $25. I charged her $10 and she FREAKED! Threw a fit that I was gouging her. Hey, you did the right thing, it’s her problem that she’s too damaged and entitled to appreciate it. These young women are crippled.
@@joehertel8846 I know, I was so tempted! She even called corporate and complained, and of course they agreed with her until they found out what I charged, then they were mad at me for undercharging. You can’t win…
@@jej3451 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that he felt bad for the young girl maybe assumed that she was a college student with very little money and getting a flat was like the last thing she needed let alone a new tire and was just trying to be a decent guy buy charging her the smallest amount possible I mean that's the mentality I would have had about that kinda situation .
These kind of messages are WHY I WATCH this channel. You are one of my favorite people on RUclips, one of the last voices of truth and goodness and faith on the air waves!
I have those words on a plaque in my office a gift from my boss! We are the same age 50 and very much cut from the same cloth. We always do the right thing even if its thw hardest and we are always punished in some way for it. Such is life, God knows and thats what matters.
@OI Man do people suck. More than ever. There are some people who don't. But you grab the average person off the street, and they SUCK. Incompetent, entitled, soft, spoiled, overfed, underworked, dependent on the government or some "sugar daddy". Geez.
I understand what you mean but if we all give in to expecting no positive response from people then we won't ever get any. Society does what is expected of them. Cody did what was right by confronting the girl. Maybe she will thank the next person?
Preach! Having spent all day on a tractor cleaning mine and my neighbors driveways, I feel your pain. I gladly do it, but have never once been offered help, fuel…sometimes I’ll get a wave from a window. A lot of people seemed to have lost that sense of community,civility, and decency. I do believe that social media have played a big part into this “isolation” that we are seeing. No one seems to know how to act around “actual” people. We are becoming a society of nameless and faceless blobs of human flesh…lol
I had a similar experience where I was riding my motorcycle and the way to work and came across a woman with a flat tire, so I pulled over, (knowing that this would make me late to my work)
And started to help her, as I was removing the bolts from her tire she angrily said, “how long is this going to take cause I have an appointment at my hair salon” I just stared at her in disbelief and dropped the jack and bolts and returned to my motorcycle and left…. I figured fate or karma would change the tire for her, as I sure as heck wasn’t !!!!
It's all you could do. We all need help sometimes, but to get it, we need humility.
This is exactly the cheeky thing my Irish wife would say to get a rise out of me though..lol
She definitely shouldn’t have said that, but she was probably just frustrated at the situation-not at you; and she probably just doesn’t know how to edit herself. Maybe your actions will make her pause before she speaks next time! 🤪 For sure she should have shown great appreciation for you stopping to help! I don’t understand these types of people. I think they’re all just very entitled.
She should have thrown herself at you because you were a knight in shining leather armor and you just saved her life.
@@c50ge Dont think thats what he was looking for. A thank you would have sufficed...
I stopped on my way to work and helped a lady get off the road so I could safely change her tire. She asked what kind of work I did, I told her and told her where I worked, 3 days later a thank you card showed up with a gift card to a local restaurant. There are good, respectful and thankful people out there.
I agree. A couple of years ago I dug out a van stuck in the snow in front of my house. Imagine my surprise when Christmas rolled around 10 months later and I found a gift and a nice thank-you card in my mailbox. This lady remembered all those months, and took the time to go out of her way to say thanks.
Sounds like older women not young women
Your right, there are a lot of nice women, but modern day feminism is starting to slowly ruin that
i bet you 2 are lying. upload image of your thank you-card and post a link.
I bet she was an older lady unlikely she was in her early 20’s
As a 67 year woman, brought up to appreciate and respect a man's integrity, strength and inate human code to protect women, I understand EXACTLY what you are saying. Entitled, spoiled women stuck emotionally at 13 are a plague now, and I feel sorry for young men who run the risk with a date, or interaction with these toxic women who with a single lie of how a man behaved, could ruin a man's life.. They think nothing of lying to "get evan" or "just for fun" they are sick, arrogant and and dangerous. I for one, thank every man who is kind enough to hold a door for me or extend a kindness.
Kindness and love. I see this with young woman a lot too. Very sad.
Just think about that. Someone getting offended because you opened a door for them. I open doors for anyone, male of female (or any of 56 other genders that the left made up). It just common decency, and to get offended says a lot more about them than it does about us,
Wow! Maybe we've met because I say that all the time!
Beautiful ladies like you are what the world needs. Thank you
What a wonderful, kind thing to say. Thank you.
I’m 19 and I don’t think I’ll ever get married with a western woman.
Pray ask God ,wait for the answer .....biggest bad decision or best in life is who you marry and commit to.
Ok Andrew Tate
You're better off staying with Asns. Not sure why foreigners are so in love with everything Western.
I'll be 100% honest, I only hold doors for guys. Had plenty of woman walk on past without even an acknowledgement. Every guy I hold the door for goes out of their way to say thank you.
The way to fix that is say Thank You! as they go through the door - they will look at you and then you say - that was the common courtesy word you couldn't remember, you are welcome.
Have you also ever noticed how uncourteous female drivers are?
LOL. You should move to Canada. Canadians say thank-you for no reason.
I can’t tell you how many times a woman has let a door close in my face. As if I’m invisible. I always hold a door or help a woman in anyway, but I’m not going out of my way for an unknown woman anymore.
I experienced the same thing about 10-15 years ago and was stunned to silence when the lady scolded me for holding the door for her. I hung in there and kept doing what I was taught and for the most part most are very appreciative, for some reason, especially older black women. I've gotten a couple of hugs over the years from them and just the most sincere thank-yous.
About 10 years ago I was driving through our neighborhood, with my family, and I saw an old woman struggling to mow her lawn (more weeds than grass) with a push mower. It was the worst time to be mowing on a blazing hot sunny day. I pulled over and told my wife to head home. I asked the woman if she needed help. She happily gave me the mower and I proceeded to manicure her weeds and do some cleanup. When I was done she thanked me and I was off. On my walk home, I felt on top of the world. I had time to reflect so I questioned why I felt this way. I realized that when I was helping others I was my best self and it gave me rush of happiness. Since then it has become sort of a selfish pursuit that benefits others. I think often about thanking that old lady for letting me mow her lawn!
You open doors and plow streets because you were raised right, you like doing it and are a good person. Don't stop out of spite. From what I can tell, it is not who you are.
I love this!
The feeling of doing stuff for others is a real buzz. Its like you are making goodness. A thank you is payment in full.
Its a pity voluntary work is seen as pointless.
I’m a 55 year old female and completely agree with you. My husband and I have a wonderful marriage of 35 years because we have always recognized that we are partners and have different contributing strengths and abilities to make the marriage and family thrive.
I went on a date with a girl some months back, opened the door for her, and she said annoyed 'I can open my own door!' Ugh, that was that. These people are brainwashed truly...
Wow. I can’t even process that, as a woman. I am so grateful there are still good men out there. Thank for helping her even though she doesn’t seem to have deserved it.
You are one of the good ones, glad to know there are still classy ladies like you in this world!
One of the two women that watch Wranglerstar videos.
Absolutely 💯 correct as a woman stuck in the snow a time or 3 I have always always given or offered to pay or mail if they would accept it. Most of them would just take a 10.00 or 20.00 depending on what I had on me at the time. So sad these younger people are so ungrateful to anyone person that does a kind act, just so sad. May I thank you to for expressing thanks to Cody n his team 4 the help they gave. Its just a courtesy as much as it is a gift they even drove by. RURAL areas she should be very grateful he wasn't an age murderer or rapist. But those thoughts are just that could have been worse for her. Mrs. W HAS HERSELF A WONDERFUL HUSBAND.
When I'm able to help someone stranded I tell them I didn't stop for money as I have an income, but they can help someone they find and pass it along down the line, I'd rather have them benifit themselves by helping the next person
People like her just makes it harder for the next person to get helped. It really doesn't change me from helping but I know a few people who just won't help anymore
I’m 25 and have been married for 3 years. I am blessed that my wife grew up an Idaho girl and was raised in an old school house where men have their rolls and women have there’s. What society needs to realize is that men and women are created equal but play different rolls and if we work together and help each other we can live our best lives.
Man has Dominion. That's Biblical. Too many women don't understand nor follow that ideal created by God Himself. Woman was created for man, not the other way around. Sorry girls. God will judge each of us according to His design and our cooperation with that. Men do an awful lot to make our lives easier. We can either be the helpmate we were intended to be, or live out our lives fighting and being miserable. Men love women who look and act like women. (Dresses anyone?) Making a favorite meal. Baking a pie or cake. Keeping the house clean.
Taking time out for a date night.
Wonderful you and your wife are in harmony. Sounds like she's got it together and you're going to be content until death do you part.
Really.. Well done You.
I must confess to being ever so slightly jealous but in a nice way, and I'm almost never prone to feeling like that.
Genuinely wish you both every blessing, happiness and health.
“We will be respected or we’ll walk away from it.”
Absolutely right!
Absolutely. When a man speaks truth, you get quotes likes this. God bless, work hard and do good.
I think the time to walk away might already be here.
PREACH!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
As 50 year old lady, there has *NEVER* been a single time in my life when any gentleman (or anyone) held the door open for me, or opened a car door for me or gone out of their way to help me in any way at all, out of the goodness of their hearts, that I didn’t express my true appreciation. And there never will be.
I’ve helped strangers before and they behaved like I was their butler, and didn’t even acknowledge what I’d done. Never ceases to blow my mind how unappreciative and rude some are.
You are a good person. We should all appreciate what other people do for us.
As a 60 year old woman, there are still some wonderful women who are very appreciative and kind...those that aren't I have no use for
That breaks my heart. I'm 48 and I'm still the Chivalrous gentleman despite how unappreciative women could be. I'm more concerned with how I conduct myself instead of how others are.
Several times I have opened the door for women who were feminists and was told in an angry tone "I DON'T NEED YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME" and they refused to walk through! The first time I just said whatever and went about my business! Every time since I don't say a word I just go through the door then hold it shut and laugh at them and say find another way in! Once one decided to have a tug of war with me and as soon as she yanked on the door I let go and she ended up on her backside! Put a smile on my face the rest of the day!
You're 50, that's why, it's this younger set that don't know how to behave.
Good on you for helping her out, I’m still at a loss from her reaction.
My kids and I stopped at a gas station last Sunday afternoon on our way home from taking care of my daughter’s horse. It’s been rainy here, so we all had muddy boots and pants, looking pretty rough overall I’m sure. There was a young lady in line ahead of us that was buying $3 worth of gas, telling the clerk she was hoping it was enough to get her to work. She looked at my kids laughing and told them getting muddy is fun stuff. My daughter, who is 11, asked if she could use some money she got at Christmas to buy the girl some more gas. I was so proud of my little girl at that moment. Outside we caught up with her by the pump and filled up her old Suburban and ended up giving her what cash I had on me (maybe $70). I also gave her my number and told her to call me if she got in a bind. She gave us all a big hug and thanked us multiple times. I’m so proud of my little girl, maybe there’s some hope for future generations after all (I’m 44 and say that half-jokingly).
My son amazed me too for this attitude..
Was she cute? Lol
I'm not going to lie, your story brought a tear to my eye. You must be doing something right for your daughter to have such a big heart ☺
that was a truly beautiful thing to do, your an example to us all.
@@livewithnick only good looking people can be kind?
This is a very important topic especially in regards to women. There was a man in my area who pulled over and helped a woman change her flat tire. Later he was arrested for sexual harassment. Now no man in my area is willing to help a woman who's stuck on the side of the road unless she is a relative.
@The Badderman Many of us were in the bar when word came that he was arrested. Later the charges were dropped and he was released because the woman had one of those recording devices that hang from the rear view mirror. She actually had evidence that he made no advances at her at all. Apparently she was just one of these city born feminist throwing a fit because some man condescended to help her with something. I also note that she got no charges placed against her for falsely accusing and having someone arrested. The judge apparently decided just to throw it out.
As a mother of sons, it angers me seeing woman acting like that towards men cause I want my sons to have the confidence and not be scared in finding a woman who will respect them when it's time. Yes, you men out there do deserve respect especially when helping others out.
Man, you hit the nail on the head there.
As a recently retired secondary teacher in the UK, I do feel that there is a whole bunch of kids coming through who are far too entitled. I gave up countless hours of my time taking kids into the mountains and so rarely did either the kids, or their parents, say thanks. The parents would usually pull up in their car at school and sit in it waiting for their child. When I was a kid doing things like that my parents always made a point of thanking the trip leader.
Like you say, just not raised right.
This is exactly why I left the teaching profession. We are viewed as indentured servants by administration, students & parents.
One of the most important lessons I ever got was from my great grandfather. He used to always go out and try to help his significantly younger, not very appreciative neighbors shovel their walks during the winter. My region gets some pretty nasty winters, too. Keep in mind this is a guy in his late 70's already when I was born, but also one of the physically toughest guys I ever met. Even when he was in his early 90's he'd still go out there and try to help his neighbors with their walks, even though it was clearly quite painful for him, and my dad, my grandfather, my uncles myself and my brother when we'd visit quickly decided the only way to keep him from hurting himself was to sneak out and somehow manage to beat him to doing it first. My great grandfather's response once he caught on was to literally get up before sun up and do so.
I don't remember who asked him why he did it but once they did, my great grandfather gave a very simple to the point answer: "So they know it's okay to help your neighbors."
Eventually my great grandfather got to old, and was in to much pain to be able to shovel his own driveway and sidewalk. But we'd always find someone had already done it for him when he'd go over there on snowy days to help him out. Don't know who it was, but his lesson had stuck with someone.
As difficult as it is, just remember the good we do to others, often has a way of coming back to us in one way or another.
Aaron, you are awesome, friend.
Your great grandfather sounds like an amazing person. Your story of him keeps his memory alive. Brought a tear to my eye.
I'm a woman, though no longer young. I have been thankful my entire life for all that men do. I grew up watching my dad work hard. Watching my brothers work hard. Working hard with them when I could, and literally making dinner and doing laundry when I couldn't.
Too man young people never SEE work being done. Things magically happen.
I stopped to help a family change a spare tire. The husband was in nice clothes, and there was mom, and three kids in the van. I was in scrubby clothes and had the opportunity to help.
I did not recognize any of the adults, as I was more intent on changing the tire.
I was shocked to hear one of the County Commissioners, at the next Commission meeting, gave me kudos for helping his family out. That was very nice of him to thank me in a public meeting.
Some years ago my friend Bill and I were driving to Chaco NM on a dirt road that even the National Park Service warns people about when we came upon a woman from LA and her 9 year old daughter in a Buick sedan with a flat tire. She was so relieved to see a woman with a man who changed her tire. Bill refused to accept any pay so she asked our names and addresses and two weeks later we received beautiful gift baskets from LA. I'm so glad we were able to make their visit to amazing Chaco a memorable experience.
This hit the nail on the head. I try to teach my girls to have an attitude of gratitude. Young women today seem to have either a victim mentality or just expect everything handed to them.
I drive a truck delivering food to upity ski resorts and resort towns for a living. The amount of disrespect and disregard I see for me and my fellow trucker brothers is at times unbearable. This is some of the most horrible weather I have ever had to drive in… it is extremely stressful. I don’t know what to do or or how to demonstrate the vital nature of what I and other truck drivers do, especially this time of year… maybe we should just walk away… it has crossed my mind many many times as of late.
You can only miss what you don't have, Right Spencer? (fellow Trucker Brother, BTW)
One of my delivery drivers was out and I ran his route one day. The female receptionist at one of my stops was incredibly rude to me. She thought I was just a delivery guy and didn’t know I was the GM. I had a meeting with that business to renegotiate their contract a week later. She didn’t remember me, but wow was she incredibly nice to me when I walked in wearing a suit and tie. I learned a lot that day - she didn’t.
I drove a tow truck for a few years back in 99-2004 when I was in my 30's. We would get snow-birds that would break down on I-75 through the heart of Florida. I have left several on the side of the road after they refused to stop cussing at me. One in particular, she was a high-strung, fowl mouthed yankee and immediately started dropping f-bombs. I cut her off and explained that we were the only AAA contractor in the area and if she did not stop berating me I would drive off and call AAA to tell them what was going on and they would not re-dispatch me to assist her. That lasted about 5 minutes until I asked her what she planned to do with the trailer she was towing. She told me I should have brought a bigger flat bed because the last time she needed a tow her truck and trailer fit on the deck. As nicely as I could, I explained that no such tow truck existed and that it would have to have a 40' deck. The f-bombs started again and I just calmly walked away and got in my truck and drove off, she was screaming f-bombs and flipping me off as I drove by. The weird thing is, I was working a wreck and had just finished when the call came in. I was less than 200 feet from her and could see her red chevy blazer and trailer just in front of me. My response time was literally less than 3 minutes and I thought, this lady is going to think the AAA contractors in florida are super-two operators with that kind of ETA. I was wrong.
@@bransonred1 That person makes her own life a bad trip. They just make me laugh.
@@notreallyme425 I am not a truck driver, but I know a thing or two about logistics. If one imagines the interstate highways as arteries, and the county roads as capillaries, then each truck is like a blood cell. When the flow of blood stops, the body begins to die. So it is with trucks.
Respect for you, your brothers and sisters on the road! Drive safe and I hope you have a happy new year! 👍
As a 22 year old man I can say I feel the same way. I think culturally our nation is dammed, but each of us can do a lot to affect our individual communities and at the very least be a steady handed example of what a respectable man is.
This generation of “entitlement and instant gratification pervades every group, society, neighborhood, etc. You still did the right thing. Good for you. You will receive more Blessings.
I am dealing with this at home, my wife wasn't always like this but it's come to a point. I don't know how to walk away from this because we have a child and what message this sends to the child. I am sitting here at the fork in the road setting up camp to ponder the meaning of life due to moral dilemmas.
All you can do is do your best and what you believe is best for you and your family. Good luck
Get still and pray. Ask God to help you be discerning, to see things as they truly are. Ask him to guide you to be honest w/yourself, for any responsibility, then ask him to guide you as you earnestly try to make things better for all in (your home), tobe the best man God gave us the abilities to be. This will most likely be hard, our enemy (satan) wants you to get mad and call out blame only. With your heart set to get to the root of problems, earnestly trying to do right, (and promptly acknowledge it when we stumble, ask for forgiveness and guidance, and adjust). Love, honesty, discernment. I'll be praying God works in your home and hearts. "Slow to anger, quick to forgive" doesn't mean we're weak, and "turn the other cheek" doesnt mean we're supppsed to let others walk over and take advantage of us. Be upright and honest w/God and self, in all affairs. Standing with you, brother.
Edit:12:30 rephrase
my friend, i hope you solved this somehow. but if its still something that bothers you, break it down to her exactly how wranglerstar said it from 6:38 til 9:04. maybe tell her that immediately after you help her and you see shes not thankful. hope everything is well.
What message does sticking around and putting up with it send to the child?
I know it's tough, with custody battles the way they are. Nonzero chance the child ends up alienated from you and raised by the mother you're trying to separate from. But it's worth considering what message sticking around and putting up with it sends.
Maybe there's another way to address the issue, like others have said. If your work isn't appreciated, then maybe it's not warranted.
What message are you sending to your child by being a cuck in your own home? Your son will never want to marry a woman if you don’t set a better example
Cody, after watching this I can tell you almost for certainly that it wasn't you... it was your Glock on your chest. She was an antigunner. I used to live in a liberal town in Colorado (that was very conservative just a short while ago) and I quit carrying open in public because of situations like this. The media and the public schools have made us men who belive in old school ways and being a protector out to be 'toxic' in today's new world... including wearing a gun.
My suggestion... conceal carry. I know, I know. It's not always idealistic... but it is what we have allowed to become.
Good speed and God bless you and your family.
Situations like this should make US change our behavior. If she has to interact with more and more people like us on a daily basis maybe she'll see the need for some decency...
Disagreeing with somebodies beliefs doesn't give you a pass to be a nasty person. Cody lives in an area where that may be the norm. Sure, it would be easy to change in order to appease others. I don't see him doing that though.
As a woman from the baby boomer generation, I learned gratitude and respect from my parent's example. I'm filled with gratitude for any help I receive and make it known. I'm sorry you were disrespected.
I Thank you on behalf of all women. I’m 63 but would have offered some labor in return. I am a great cook, child carer and cleaner. And a retired nurse. Thank you for helping that titled woman. From those of us who appreciate assistance and Love to offer our help. ❤️
So much this.
A lot of people don’t have anything to offer honestly men and women around my age 21.
you're a keeper
Thankyou .
@@gioazzarello1333 "Thank you" goes a hellava long way, Gio.
You are absolutely right. Men like yourself and my father (electrician) have made the world so convenient us that some don’t see what men like you do to allow us to live the lives we do. Thank you 🇯🇲👊🏾🇺🇸
True story. Women take it for granted the work that keeps society going. As more and more men seem to be walking away from society, I would hope that this brings the pendulum back the other way.
You are right. Good women are hard to find. I've been married for 23 years. My husband has cancer now and he still does for me ( because he can't work anymore) he's home now all the time and I still feel I'm not doing enough.
These brats will get they're due.
Have you heard of Phillis Shilaffly, I'm sure that's wrong spell. Anyway, she was against the woman's movement. It was designed to destroy the family.
Please take heart, YOU ARE APPRECIATED. ~ LUISA
The Lord does speak about this.
My husband & I tried to help an older couple one day & the lady was super disrespectful to her husband & my husband & we did not let it change how we are we just used it as a teaching moment for our daughter & a year later the lady came back and apologized to us & let me tell you it meant so much & was super nice because our daughter got to see it.
If any of yall are wondering why your son or grandson is having such a hard time dating, this is why. Thank you for this, it's nice to know that some of the older generations understand.
This really hit a nerve with me, I thought I brought my daughter up to respect men and I thought I also showed respect to my wife(who is amazing) and have always been able to support my family and my wife was able to stay home raise the kids and work with our animals. Unfortunately, after my daughter was old enough to head out on her own she went to Colorado, and also spent some time in Portland Oregon and that was when we noticed a change in her, she is now 27 she hates all men, says the woman has been "kept down" and she always says "I'm mansplaing" what ever that is to her. She says that men are pigs and says that my wife and I live in a hillbilly lifestyle and that me opening a door or helping a woman is a insult. I think social media like RUclips, Facebook and Twitter has caused allot of this. I'm sadden by how it has turned my daughter into such a feminazi, and has really hurt the father/daughter relationship. By the way, that would of been what my daughter probably would of done as well to you, unacceptable
stop treating her like your daughter and start treating her like a stranger. stop helping her.
Thinking anyone who is 27 is who the will be for life or indicative of what a whole groups of people thinks is right up there with thinking a born billionaire gives a shiii about the middle class. And if we're going all Manly man on this ... she lived with you for 18 years ... taking responsibility for you actions and trying hard to fix it is something I had instilled in the Navy. Nothing the jabberwocky on AM talk radio every push on the muppets they spew lies for, nor encourage in their listeners. One of the beautiful thinks about listening and trying to understand someone is that you can help them to figure out the flaws in their logic. And also why those guys on AM radio don't allow questions. Your daughter is a feminazi ... what does that mean? She says you're 'mansplaining" all the time? Then how would she like to have things explained, and being verbose is just kind of what guys do. (and I'm doing now.). Just as women tend to talk more. And like most societal issues, this is likely related to mental health. There are professionals who can help. Not uncommon for ppl (especially in their 20s) to have trouble when the realize the ppl they thought were perfect aren't.
Lmao fix yourself and your kid
It's hard to tell if you're telling the truth, also who knows how you talk to your daughter. Your post sounds like an anti-woke rant, so it's hard for me to tell if you mean it or you're just trying to promote some kind of ideology. I'm not accusing you of lying, but I don't know you from Adam. Maybe you could spend some time with your daughter and she can explain to you exactly what her problem is. You deserve respect but so does she as an adult. If she is mad out of the blue, maybe there's a historical reason for that
Sir I couldn’t agree more and I’m sorry for your troubles, I got rid of social media when I was 21 man… I realized at that age that social media is trash it brings ppl down. I SERIOUSLY CHALLENGE ANYONE TO DELETE ALL OF IT FOR A MONTH OR 2! And tell me you’re life isn’t better. All your “friends” you’ll see who’s actually calling or texting you to stay in touch. Not to mention when see ppl you know just out and about. You actually have something to talk about with them.
As a woman I greatly respect the men who treat me with respect and kindness. That is a two way street. We’re all on this planet together and we need each other. Thank you for being the man you are. Don’t let the disrespectful change your heart. Thank you for being an excellent example for young men and bringing this issue to light.
Suuuure you did. You’re the exception Rainie. You’re the one female not like all the others.
@@gabethedizzle It would seem that you are part of the problem. Why would you jump from the gate and disbelieve someone? You could have had your impression and scrolled right on pass, but no you had to take a gouge where none was needed. Draw from within why you are who you are. This person is speaking from and about respect, something you need a little more of.
As a fellow woman, amen to this!! 🎉 I was raised with heroic, real men who always looked out for me, and still do, and I LOVE that. I try to be independent and strong, but sometimes you just need a *man’s* help, and I love all the men who have ever rescued me or rescued anyone else for that matter. If you’re that type of man and reading this, THANK YOU-men like you are worth gold. ❤️

It sure is!! Thank you also for understanding this. We definitely all need each other. ☺️
I’m actually so glad that someone has taken a notice to the strange changes in society lately. Really hit the nail on the head with the fact that it is tremendously hard to find a suitable woman as a young man these days because it is true. They use us, abuse us, and discard us with our care. Without respect. Without appreciation.
Fememinst Nazi's are in the Brainwashing School System with their man hating mantra......
I'm waiting for the day that it's no longer illegal to deal with entitled people the way nature intended. There's going to be so much Darwinism and humility dished out, soon. Respect will be a lesson relearned in our lifetime.
This is why MGTOW ( Men Going Their Own Way ) is a serious thing now. For the younger generation, quiet frankly I recommend it... because the situation is THAT bad! Alternatively maybe marry someone from another country that is still half way sane. Maybe find an older women who hasn't been completely brainwashed by hollywood, social media and the school system.
Preach! You can treat them with respect and care and they will spit in your face and tell you it’s not good enough
I am so sorry to hear that. I pray that you do find a nice girl soon. Oh dear, I wonder if I can even say that kind of thing on here anymore, without being labeled a racist, sexist or a genderist! Anyway, Best wishes to you!
My spouse and I tried helping out a young newlywed couple last year, we're military and try to help out soldiers in the unit. Gave them a place to live for about half a year, so they could have time to find their own. They ate out of our fridge, never did any cleaning around the house, used our internet enough to make the ISP send us an increased bill; Never even told us thanks when they left, and they left the livingroom thrashed with trash everywhere and the TV on. We rarely bothered them, only spoke to them to let them know dinner was done. Gave them the utmost respect for space that we could. In the end, they just used the hell out of us and have never spoken to us again. I will never open my home to another person ever again. We don't try to make friends anymore, because everyone we meet treats us this way. Your experience reminded me of it.
Sometimes it’s those courageous conversations that need to be had to help people that should know better or maybe don’t know any better, to make a course correction in their lives. It’s your house, you make the rules. You can still give people their space but don’t let them disrespect your space. Peace.
so sorry, I have learned the hard way that you have to have ground rules before you allow someone into your home. Don't allow the nasty in someone else change the nice in you.
Don't trust people, let them earn your trust. Otherwise keep on trying to be kind, but do it selectively. Another thing to note, some of it's generational issues, and some of it is certain areas of the country too. So don't give up completely, trust me, and this is coming from an introvert. :-D
Yeah, i learned the hard way to. You feel terrible after that, i did. But know you did good, that's all that counts in the end i guess.
Good on you for telling her. You did exactly what needed to be done. More people need to be told.
I wonder if her hatred of guns and people who have them, overroad her thankfulness for pulling her out of the ditch. To her, when she saw your gun on your chest, you became a symbol of everything she hates. A thought anyway, Good man and carry on.
This was my thought as well, though you said it better!
Thats exactly what I thought. She might have been freaked out.
I scrolled looking for this. It really had to be that, one would hope.
If true that is very small minded and not an excuse. She should learn to judge people by their actions.
I wonder if she's seen his channel. He's a God fearing Patriotic All American Red rider, and she might be a Blue Karen.
As a woman this drives me nuts. I thank everyone for helping me regardless if it's something small or big. I lost power the day before yesterday and stopped at my local gas station to grab something hot before I went home. I ran into my electric lineman and offered to buy them coffee. Thank them for coming out in this horrible weather, they told me the manager already took care of them. I still thanked them immensely, they were climbing into bucket trucks and fixing the power lines during a storm that had 50 mph wind gust and driving snow. Within an hour my power was back on, and I was grateful.
Everyone has the power to control what they do. You do not have the power to control what others do. You probably got the first lady all upset because you were driving in a stinky Diesel and you were wrecking the environment. How DARE you as Greta would say.
Cody, you should have mushed up there with a sled and some Alaskan Husky dogs.. But those dogs need meat, so how DARE you again. Life will be a soy sandwich if they get their way after becoming government regulators.
If someone offers to pay me for helping them, I just tell them they can give a donation to my church or better yet an equivalent amount to their church. Doesn't matter if they do it but the impression gets made.
Amen sister. God bless you >,>,>,>,
I thank a waiter every time they fill my water glass. 'Nuff said?

I'm 27 and just got out of an 8-year relationship and I agree with you so much. It feels so good to finally have somebody acknowledge what's happening and honestly I blame it all on the Kardashians..... This "reality" tv gives women a false idea of how life is supposed to be.
@@theselfmadecollective7876 Soul eater's......
It's actually spelled *Kartrashian.*
There are probably more factors than that alone, but they definitely make a good contribution to be one of the main influences in that regard. People will put on a pretty face for the rest of the world to see for whatever reason, and lot of influential people take it to the extreme. Whether it's intentional or not is up for debate in my eyes, but it's still happening when it doesn't need to/more than it ought to. Perhaps it can be tied to the whole "put your best foot forward" concept, but that's just me thinking outside the box a little bit.
Nobody I know watches that junk.
social media is also a huge cause of this as well.. Its really hard to actually find a girl who is just a decent person now days.. Im also 27 and I honestly have given up on finding someone..
Whenever I hold the door for someone and they don’t say thanks, I loudly say you’re welcome and giggle to myself
Lol! Should try that myself!
I love how you speak whats on your mind and don't sugar coat everything like everyone else does these days. Need more of that... especially now. Good message Cody!
I live in California and have seen a lot of this sort of entitlement kind of thing. I think the only thing to fix this is for them to experience some real heartache, some hardship so they appreciate it when people do something for others.
YES! Leave that narcissistic spoiled b@#% in her car in the cold snow next time and let her enjoy dealing with that all by herself.
Me and my fiancee had a flat tire while driving out on the countryside a while back. We had a spare tire but the bolts had gotten stuck and we didn't have the tools to loosen them, really frustrating. A lot of cars drove past us but after some time a young guy stopped and asked if we needed help. We explained the problem and he drove of to his garage nearby to get some tools. He then came back and helped us. We were super thankful and offered to pay him but he refused. I don't understand how you can not show appreciation when someone saves your day.
@The Badderman, it seems like the point of his story is summarized in his last sentence, "I don't understand how you can not show appreciation when someone saves your day". His comment about a lot of cars that drove by was the description of the incident as he experienced it, and had no derogatory tone.
Now days, many don't stop by anymore because they assume that one has a cell phone and can call for help, but it reality, that is not always the case.
As a traditional millennial woman, I sincerely apologize for that lady’s behavior. I treat everyone that comes through my door with the upmost respect. I had an older gentleman that came to help me with my garage door at 8am, I was making myself a Nespresso and bought him a cup of warm coffee as well. I’ll never forget him telling me that no one has bought him a drink in over 26 years of doing his craft. That made me so sad 😭

As someone in my early 20's, thank you for this. It is a diseas amongst many western young girls. The system they grew up in told them they were special meanwhile boys were not allowed to be boys anymore. So now we have a young generation of entitled stuck up girls and boys who can't fend for themselves and don't know how to stand up for themeselves because it was always oppressed by teachers, parents,...
I have given up trying to find a partner because I know we will value different things. She will want a 'modern man' chasing tiktok clout while I want to engagewith people on a deeper level.
And the ship has sailed, there is little we can do to stop it let alone reverse the cycle. Until something truly societyaltering happens.
Don’t give up! I’m your surrogate Mom here. The are appreciative young women and men out there. I raised my children like that who are similar to you in age!
This type of attitude by women is why more men are going their own way and just meet up with women for a specific need then want them gone.
Man i can totally feel what you´re saying. Everywhere you look there are people my age who identify themselves through a relationship and depend on them so heavy that they can´t live a normal life exploring and discovering themselves. Tbh i´ve also given up on "chasing" a girlfriend because someday the right one will come and till then i can wait and be happy and enjoy life on my own.
So keep on rocking brother! :D
There are lots of good girls out there. You’ll find one randomly and the rest is history. I felt the same the same way.
Yes, these are difficult times. Myself, I've resigned myself to the fact that most of my fellow citizens are nothing more than unreasoning animals. On a positive note, it makes meeting someone with character and constitution so much more rewarding!
So when my boy was five he raced to a restaurant door and pushed a woman out of the way to open the door for her. Now he’s 22. After seeing this, he just might start pushing them out of the way again 😂😂😂
Hi Cody. I could feel your frustration through this whole post. I have lived a life of community service, as a firefighter, Scout leader, EMS, fire service instructor and being a helpful neighbor, as you are. I stopped one day to help a young lady that had been towing a boat. The hitch coupler came unconnected and the trailer Tongue was wedged under her car. I got the hitch reconnected and gave her my spare safety pin. the light wire pig tail was cut through, so I repaired that. All the time I was working she kept asking why I was doing it, why would I do it, what was I helping her for. She could not wrap her mind around the fact that I was just being helpful and kind to a stranger in need. When I said I was all done, she got in her car and drove away acting like I had inconvenienced her. No thanks or even a smile.
Probably wrote a blog about her close call with a rapist...
Man, that is bizarre.
I chalk it up, mainly to city folk vs rural folk. A city raised person is wise to question the motives of anyone who's offering free help because in the city nobody's expected to be able to afford the time or effort without getting something out of it. Friendliness from strangers is suspicious and frightening for them - they end up instant fight or flight mode.
Conversely they themselves are always in a rush, too busy looking for their next buck to just help someone out.
They're victims of circumstance as much as whoever they happen to interact with, they've appropriated an missapplied these words such as "community" because they have no idea what one actually is. In the city, everyone's an outcast, an opportunist criminal or scammer waiting in the wings until otherwise proven. And the subtle fear that the most dangerous thing around you is your own species is always drilled into the back of the mind of a city dweller.
@@TheYahmez good post
@@TheYahmez I agree with you 100%. I also would like to add that it’s not just city folks. I think of two separate times off the top of my head when a “country girl” was equally jaded. One driving an old ford dully farm truck. Broke down on the side of the highway with a flat tire. I thought big heavy tire and all alone. So, I turned back on the interstate and stopped to offer her help. She looked at me as if I was that said “city slicker “ looking to do her harm. Broad daylight, busy interstate. I just simply turned back and said have a good day. Thought she was going to shoot me in the back for even stopping. Another was a white middle aged woman who actually hissed at me for holding the door to a restaurant open for her to walk in. Both where Pre-chinese flu..
Years ago I held an elevator button for a girl hurrying towards it. When she got in the lift, she berated me for holding the lift for her, apparently it is demeaning for her. So I waited for her to finish and gave her a damned lecture on how some people were brought up to show respect to ladies, and that when she was racing to the door I had no way of knowing that she was not one. Two older woman in the back of the elevator clapped the speech and she had to stand there red-faced as the slow lift went up a couple of floors. I still will always open doors, give up my seat on the bus, offer to help, because of the decent ones still out there.
Thank you...we are still out here!
You can't enstill values to someone via a 2 min conversation. It takes good parenting over many years. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let things like this bother you.
True but he probably did her a second favor by bringing her behavior to her attention. Her parents didn't raise her right so maybe she needs to have that pointed out so she can examine that. Society reenforces bad behavior but that's first learnt at home.
I'm glad people are starting to come out and speak about this weird attitude and behavior with a lot of people. I open doors for others and help wherever I can and 90% percent of the time it is no look in the eye, not even a smile. Like you said not looking for a parade down the street but WOW society has really turned. I tell my wife what worries me the most when things go wrong in society is people!
I'm 82, a retired Air force Colonel, grew up in the South, have lived all over the world and lived in Tennessee for the past 25 years. We are being overrun with Californians the past ten years. I've seen southern hospitality, good manners, friendly greetings, smiling faces, steadily eroded and it's almost always coming from a young woman who is getting into her Tesla with California plates. I say to them, You are welcome here, just leave what you ran away from there and don't bring it here. It's definitely a generational thing. It's the parents of these young folks doing this who are fault. They never taught them how to act and behave. Great video . I hope thousands see it and learn from it.
It isn't the parents other than them delegating child rearing to day care and then schools which have become little more than indoctrination centers.Two incomes became necessary to maintain the "consumer" economy.The family suffered.
Marxists needed to break the nuclear family and eliminate family as an individuals first loyalty. Only loyalty to the state is acceptable. They succeeded. Californians are the vanguard of that along with NY,NJ and MD. PA has the Achilles heels of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Nothing works and it is a hateful rat race but they will tell you that you are stuck in a bigoted,racist, colonialist,economically unfair past that none of them have ever experienced. They just parrot what they have been told. Virtue signaling has replaced actual virtue.
Walk away and let it collapse.
Must be near Nashville/franklin sir ?
Thank you for your service.
My father always did and still does tell me “the world owes you no favors, so when you do receive them be genuinely humbled and thankful and ALWAYS pay it back to someone else” he also says constantly “pay attention to the world around you” meaning other people than me exist- Acknowledge that… unfortunately most don’t.
A good man, your Dad!
Wise young Man with a good wise Father
Sorry to hear this!!! You do not deserve to be treated that way!!!! Keep up your great work.
It's not just women, there is a growing number of young men with the same attitude.
A tow truck Guy pulled my Car out of a bad spot, and I swear I thanked him over and over and told him how grateful I was for his help. I could never imagine not expressing gratitude for help I have received. I am a 55 year old Woman. So Cody, THANK YOU for everything, and I mean, everything that you do for your community! May God bless you and your family! 🙏
Thankfully there are still good Ladies like you.
The only good ladies out there are aged 50+. The younger generation is and has been fucked
There’s a definite disconnect for some younger people. I rented some rooms to some 20 something adults. They really took a lot for granted and really didn’t try to respect my house like it was their own. I was baffled by this behavior, until I heard and saw it over and over from others. I get being young but blatantly taking advantage with no thanks is not ok.
Boy did you hit the nail on the head.. and a nerve for all those you’ve “triggered” 😆
As a 30 year old male I’ve been privy to this for many years. I’ve been berated on numerous occasions for coming to the aid of what was a young woman struggling with ____. I’m a rather charismatic, un-intimidating, and unassuming individual as well-so it’s not like I was doing these things in arrogance or with an air of superiority.
Anyways, in every case I was told that I was degrading that individual because by helping I had “assumed” they were incapable of doing said activity themselves.
Since when did opening a door, changing a tire or grabbing someone’s luggage become a form of feminine degradation? Such are the times we’re in... 🤷🏼♂️
If you can help cool. If she is a Jezabel, then walk away right then and there...
I’m the same age. I had a terrible day at work. Told her about it on the way home. All she had to say was sorry and wish she could cheer me up ( which would be real simple, what cheers a hard working man up?) when I got home she couldn’t be bothered to pause from folding a towel to embrace me. I became the bad guy when I didn’t want to answer her rhetorical what’s wrong.
I’m a woman, live in Texas, and used to travel alone, and a few times I got in a bind, and men came to my rescue. They were like angels in my sight. I’ve always appreciated any man wanting to help me-no matter what it’s for. I don’t understand these women.
There are men like this too-I “very briefly” dated a guy who didn’t like to be given advice or suggestions whatsoever by a woman, no matter how much that woman cared or had his best interest in mind. What’s wrong with these people? The world is better when we all look out and care for each other. I run from people who can’t graciously accept help! 😬
@@xadaux9184
Is this person your wife? If so, I’m really sorry she didn’t show compassion. :( Maybe try the Love Dare book on her-maybe she’s just so overwhelmed with life that she’s forgotten how to show love. Sending you a hug from Texas!
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist I know there are crappy guys, but I don't think I have run across a woman under 35 that "cared" in the way you meant. But I can count guys that I know that do or would. Most women seem to only care about themselves, and shallow things. This is even In Christian circles, I don't know how they learned that.
I don’t think it’s always necessarily a lack of respect or courtesy. It has become pretty common for women to think the world should be handed to them on a silver platter, but I think culture in the last decade has instilled the mindset that women should be fearful and suspicious of every man they come in contact with that they don’t know, and that’s where it comes off disrespectful. And they should be a self-aware of the people around them! Everyone should. Its unfortunate that as men, we can’t lend a hand to a woman without them thinking we want some kind of grand favor in return. A smile and a genuine thank you goes a long way.
This won’t be the last time that individual find’s herself in a vicarious position. Bad manners is just a reflection of poor decision making all around.
As well as poor parenting.
vicarious: i don't think that word means what you think it means.
I think you nailed it with our "princess" and "everyone gets an award" societal norms. Even some of my own children act this way at times, and they get immediately corrected. We only get them for a limited time, the rest of the time they are being trained by what they observe on social media, at school, at work, and with their friends. Our way of life is definitely at risk. Morality of the past is being rapidly eroded.
I have a stepson that is bringing his 3 children up just like that. He's got a mess on his hands.
Unfortunately the future is not looking very promising.
@@davebanach9891 I don’t think it ever was looking that way a 1000 years ago, 500 years ago, 100 years ago or 50 years ago. Someone not saying “thanks” these days is apparently the end of the world but 150 years ago it was acceptable to treat fellow humans like animals and make them your personal slave. 50 years ago beating up a black guy and even killing a guy for being black was acceptable. Treating women like 2nd class citizens also totally acceptable. Get over yourself. Such crybabies.
@@MustObeyTheRules man you're just a pile of excuses huh
all completely irrelevant to the point that the Next Generation is extremely selfish entitled and expect specific treatment while also never giving it to anybody else
gen Z's work ethic makes Millennials look like Roman Legions and we're still nothing compared to the people who fought in the world wars and live through the Great Depression but at least we are raised to know that life was tough and giving up isn't an option
My last marriage fell apart because my wife "expected" all these things from me and refused to even recognized when I sacrificed for her or us, just to help her with her goals and dreams.
Now I'm 43, single, trying to date again and experiencing this on a regular basis. I fear I will not find a good woman who can help contribute, see my worth, and help build a successful relationship.
Don't be fearful Brother. Men don't need women. With a group of close mates who recognise your value, forge your own path. That is a very powerful attraction for a good woman. She will find you.
Go to church
She probably didn't like your gun....thinks they should be banned.
Preach! I have seen this in my own life. As a residential general contractor for 15 years... all we want is a little respect and kind word for the MEN things we provide. I have heard countless times from female clients, designers, vendors ... "well, you don't have a real job..." "you're just a builder" Thank you for doing this video, Cody... So many of the men I work with have these same thoughts and concerns.
"well, you don't have a real job..." "you're just a builder". Wow.. just wow. Un-fricking believable. How do these arseholes think things get built then?
I've got a few thoughts based on similar situations I've encountered helping other people out around here who were stuck in the snow. We've got a similar climate and opportunities abound.
1. Thanks are typically only given in about 50% of cases, with half of those "thank you's" delivered frowning and curtly.
1b. The only ones who thank me are the ones who know me (eg neighbors).
2. It usually doesn't work out well to just show up and start helping (which is my instinct). Nowadays, I'm more likely to pull up, roll down the window, and ask if they would like a hand. Gauge the attitude and the situation. If they seem ambivalent, I move on.
3. If they want help, I'll hand them a shovel while I hook up the strap to my truck. I Let them crawl under their car after they dig and hook it up themselves
4. I try to remember the people who've pulled me out over the years...many of them strangers.
5. I also wonder if this isn't how God feels about our attitudes when we ask for more and more, when we already have it all
6. Let your thankless service to others be an act of thanksgiving and worship. Sometimes this happens to remind us of our ego that may be looking for value in the wrong places.
You can either go through life being miserable or being kind and courteous. The manner in which we interact tends to spread like fire... offer a compliment, hold a door open, lend a helping hand, heck even a smile can brighten someone's day and in turn they may then go on to pay it forward and spread some kindness in a branching domino like effect. Same goes with spreading misery and rudeness. Imagine a world where we all treat each other with a little respect and kindness! I was taught to be a gentleman and offer help whenever possible, we need to keep teaching this. Thank you Cody for keeping this tradition alive 🥰
Simping for women these days make them look at disgust at you as it indicates you are of low value. Young men just look for casual hookups with women, no relationship and you'll be okay.
Me Too Cap..... I'll second that !!
Seen this on MTR and I stopped as well, I stopped pulling over and all that I’m not helping anymore unless it’s my customers on some work to add to my great income…..if they can’t respect it then we will stop it in general
I go out of my way anytime I see someone on the side of the road. Many of those times my son was with me and one time he asked me “why did you do that?” I told him because my Dad did it , and I’m doing it because it’s just right thing to do, and always look out for your fellow man/women, because one day it might be you needing a hand. This new generation of entitlement is just beyond words.
There was a time when I did this too...but where I live it can now get you killed. Even out away from downtown, in the "rural" areas outside of Cleveland, you have to watch yourself and your back every damn minute. Too many people, too close together, and the criminal element is desperate. I will see someone stranded and call local police to let them know, but I won't stop to help. :( This world is really in trouble anymore.

Thank you for politely saying what we're all thinking. I spent 12 precious years of my life in two relationships with women who essentially treated me this way. Entitled women from broken families are a curse for our humanities future. Not saying men from similar homes are much better... But my Lord how the times have changed for the worse in society.
I walk to drop off an pick up my son from school everyday. It's a college prep school, so it's a small k-12. I have to walk by the high school age kids everyday and I thought they were incredibly disrespectful. No one says thanks or excuse me. No one makes eye contact. It's just weird...but what I have been realizing is that it is a lack of social confidence and skills. That may not have been the case with this lady, but realizing this has helped me get less upset about it and just try to help.
A year ago I would have said "if people are not taught manners when they are young - they will never have manners !" especially before they are seven years old . I have noticed since covid , a lot of my friends don't call , or phone and neither do I . I stopped calling people about the same time , I was not going out much , so seen a lot less of the people I knew , so I didn't have much to say and I never wanted to put my friends in an awkward position either . Fellowship is a wonderful thing , looking back at my life , and I will have to do something about it . Nobody else can or will do it for me !
Thank you for speaking up Cody, the more of us men that speak up the better.
I hear you! My son is in his 30's and an Afghan combat vet and can't find a woman who wants to get married, be a wife, and have children. I've seen it too. I taught in college and high school for about 20 years and watched the gradual erosion of masculinity by our culture.
There has been a war against men for decades. As a believer, it's easy to know why. The enemy is doing all he can to rip apart the family unit. Just one example: Most sitcoms in the past 20 or so years have portrayed the leading male as a buffoon. The leading female is always the smartest of the two. These types of things have societal consequences. Your example of the Disney princess mentality is another one. It really is as simple as good vs. evil. God vs. the devil. Anything in this world that is contrary to The Word of God comes from Satan. It all boils down to that. Work as though you are working for the Lord. Don't be discouraged. You know you're on the narrow path. God bless, brother.
We can also intentionally choose to recognize that we deal with “the least of these” way to often, but choose to walk the high road even when criticized . Looking in the mirror with a clear conscience, and kneeling by the bed at night without guilt is worth more than anyone else’s respect or all the cash in the world. Keep fighting the fight brother!
That is amazing that someone would have that attitude. You hit the nail on the head in the end. I have an amazing wife who teaches our children and does so much I couldn’t do because I’m providing. Her work at home is just as important. We are a team that appreciates and values each other. That woman either had no raising or allowed her narcissistic mind to be warped at some point. She’ll have a hard time in life. On a side note you’re going to have to start a wrecker service soon. 😂
The liberal social/media has corrupted their minds it’s crazy.
Would love to see a Wranglerstar/ Haxman collaboration someday.
@@Cincinnatis Me too 😁
Lol
Far too many do. I`ll stop to help anybody but a white female unless it`s an elderly lady. I want absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with them anymore. Not tolerating it.
I remember when I helped a man with a flat battery many years ago. I drove back 10 miles to get jumper cables. Started his car and he drove away without even a thanks. But what is the world going if we dont help each other, a hell hole.
Dont let the idiots get to you, the world is full of them and the only way to not let them win is to ignore them.
You are a lucky man, your wife really loves you, her looks tells it all. Keep up the good work, I wish you all the best.
Man oh man…..probably my favorite video from you. I’m a 45 yr old father of 2 little girls, ages 9 and 6. I often get their evening snacks for them before bedtime (as my wife is doing other household chores). I always make them say thank you. My wife and also have them write out, and mail, thank you notes after birthday and Christmas gifts from friends and family. As a side note, I always tell my wife, “you can say whatever you like to me behind closed doors, but do not be disrespectful to me in front of our daughters.” As I watched your video, I had smoke rolling out of my ears, much like you did.
i am a young man of just 17, i grew up in a home with horrible parrents, litteral abusive drug addicts that brealy gave me food when i want hungry, and from that decided from a young age to raise myself, now ive been told im an old soul more times then i can count and every day i look back on sosciety and i wonder how i could have came from such a rotten environment and yet the people who have grown up in good familys and with decent lives could turn out to be so rotten them selfs.
Not defending lack of manners, having said that men/boys do it to themselves, she probably has a Tinder account, and if she has a pulse gets swiped right and told how great she is a hundred times a day by men/boys from around the world that give her a sense of self worth beyond any sense of reality. She's living in the matrix and until women stop getting validation for having a pulse, it aint gonna change.
Holy cow man. Some people are just rude, others just awkward. Why you’d have to make up some dumb story and Cody felt he had to rant about it is dumbfounding.
You're right about that. These young women especially the pretty ones. Think every male wants them.
I agree about the ‘pulse’ thing, but there is another thing that women have that they think entitles them to be a witch with a capital B.
Oddly enough, the name of that thing starts out with the same letters as ‘pulse’ does. That’s what makes women think they can act anyway they want.
My mom prays for me every day when I tell her about the women in the dating scene. Living in a city for college showed me that the foreign exchange girls from Europe were the nicest girls to go out with, a lot of them still have the same cultural values we’ve lost here in the states as sad as that is to say. My goal is to move south (I’m an east coast guy… I know, start now) and find a girl with some southern hospitality who was raised with some values.
Yeah dating in this day and age is an absolute nightmare. Girls are just so entitled nowadays, and honestly I blame social media. I think its because social media attention has made them feel more important than they actually are.
@@rodbelding9523 access to dating apps is a big factor too.
I'm very lucky to have a woman who is respectful, hardworking and loving. We are 23 and have just bought our first house together. It frustrates me that people and society as a whole constantly ask why we would commit to each other at such a young age. I think that is the problem. Its frowned upon to be honest, respectful and committed to someone else below the age of 30. Society has gone crazy!
good luck.
i guarantee she didn’t like the glock on your chest holster…doesn’t understand why you feel you “need” to have that so you are immediately treated with disdain….
my brother hates that i conceal carry and thinks there is “no reason to have a gun”
Your brother is a brainwashed beta 😂
youre probably right, id bet her socials are full of that ms independent men are evil leftist trash. So when the caricature of the thing she hates came to help her, she immediately became angry because everything she believes was proven wrong in that one encounter. So instead of reevaluating her beliefs she just holds him in contempt to protect her ego, because if she doesnt admit, by thanking him, that she actually needed his help, in her mind he didnt actually help her. He just did a thing.
As the old saying goes, marriage isn’t 50/50. It’s 100/100.
Cody, as much as I don’t want to agree with you, you’re absolutely right. There’s a reason I’m 36 and still single. It’s also why I stopped doing stuff for my sister, and stopped talking to her. It’s ridiculous what she expects me to do for her. As if I’m her personal handyman and mechanic. And young men are losing their way as well.
Years ago I learned it was not the actions of others but merely my own expectations, now I expect nothing from anyone that way I never feel let down by anyone. I do expect 110% from myself at all times, but that's for me. Keep doing what your supposed to do and be happy with your own actions.
Exactly, we do it because we hold ourselves to a higher standard, not for them.
I think this is why she was so unappreciative: She hates guns and you were wearing one.
Good words Cody. I work as a cashier, and I have many of our power company line men (and a couple of women too!) Come through my line getting their lunch supplies at 6am or so. I always make them know that I appreciate their efforts to get the lights back on. It is such a small thing, but I know they appreciate it. Politeness and appreciation is like a lost art: when you practice it genuinely you feel good knowing that somebody has been acknowledged for their efforts. And really what better form of respect can be asked? Kindness, respect, and gratitude all go hand in hand. So Cody, thank you for being awesome! I know your neighbors appreciate what you bring. Take care, and I hope you and your family have a very Happy New Year! 👍
On behalf of all sane women, THANK YOU 🥰
Thanks, Luna
As I am 15 years old and growing and learning new things, you have been quite an inspiration. I couldn’t agree more from my point of view how society is changing and how just a little bit of appreciation can go a long way. Thank you for the video and I would love to see more videos of snow blowing instead of livestreams!
Don’t get married kid.
You live in the pacific northwest. I live in the southwest. Most all youngsters around me are respectful and show appreciation. I’ve spent considerable time in California and I lived in Louisiana for a few years. The self entitlement which I describe as “the world revolves around me” is a blue state, progressive phenomenon. You choose to live where you live for reasons and I choose to avoid for reasons. The south has much to admire and offer besides heat and humidity.
Well said…can’t believe she behaved that way after you pulled her out of the ditch.
I can. Sad
I can’t agree with you more. I appreciate men opening the door for me and offering to help and standing up to offer their chair. This was just awful. Thank you for all those men out there that are still gentlemen. I appreciate you so very much
I imagine she thought you were a government employee who's job it is to clear the roads and rescue stuck cars, that's how they treat people with jobs they see as beneath them, I would've paid to hear the conversation you had with her. You're a lucky guy to have a wife and family like that, seems more and more rare to see nowadays.
Lol just the other day I was telling my friend about the time a woman on the beach told me her husband was drowning. I rushed out to the water and saved him, brought him ashore and his wife wrapped him in a towel then they also left without saying a word of thanks. I'll still do it again
Unbelievable! No good deed goes unpunished. You OWE her! A few years ago I changed a flat for a younger girl at my service station, she had gone flat about a mile away. Our normal off lot driving charge to remove the tire, take it back to the shop and patch it, then drive back and remount it was $25. I charged her $10 and she FREAKED! Threw a fit that I was gouging her. Hey, you did the right thing, it’s her problem that she’s too damaged and entitled to appreciate it. These young women are crippled.
I woulda just removed the valve stem fr said tire and handed it to her and said here ya go have a good day
@@joehertel8846 I know, I was so tempted! She even called corporate and complained, and of course they agreed with her until they found out what I charged, then they were mad at me for undercharging. You can’t win…
Crippled by stupidity.
Why did you offer her a discount?
@@jej3451 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that he felt bad for the young girl maybe assumed that she was a college student with very little money and getting a flat was like the last thing she needed let alone a new tire and was just trying to be a decent guy buy charging her the smallest amount possible I mean that's the mentality I would have had about that kinda situation .
These kind of messages are WHY I WATCH this channel. You are one of my favorite people on RUclips, one of the last voices of truth and goodness and faith on the air waves!
Amen
No good deed goes unpunished
….stop expected any kind of positive response from people today and you won’t be disappointed
I have those words on a plaque in my office a gift from my boss! We are the same age 50 and very much cut from the same cloth. We always do the right thing even if its thw hardest and we are always punished in some way for it. Such is life, God knows and thats what matters.
@OI Man do people suck. More than ever. There are some people who don't. But you grab the average person off the street, and they SUCK. Incompetent, entitled, soft, spoiled, overfed, underworked, dependent on the government or some "sugar daddy". Geez.
I understand what you mean but if we all give in to expecting no positive response from people then we won't ever get any. Society does what is expected of them. Cody did what was right by confronting the girl. Maybe she will thank the next person?
Preach! Having spent all day on a tractor cleaning mine and my neighbors driveways, I feel your pain. I gladly do it, but have never once been offered help, fuel…sometimes I’ll get a wave from a window. A lot of people seemed to have lost that sense of community,civility, and decency. I do believe that social media have played a big part into this “isolation” that we are seeing. No one seems to know how to act around “actual” people. We are becoming a society of nameless and faceless blobs of human flesh…lol
