For real! My uncle and his wife,has 8 kids, but they are all behaved, and now adults . They wanted a big family and had the means to for it too.. they are great parents! Never did they have babysitters, the mom did everything. She's a power house! When her youngest was 15, she went to nursing school and is now a nurse.. she had kids since she was 18.. so very young.. but she was and is great mom and now grandma...
Oh and I have three uncles and three aunts,and now in all I have 20 cousins😂 my grandparents had 7 kids too. They were the best parents and grandparents too . I lost them in 2002, when I was pregnant with my first son.. so sad they didn't get to meet him though.. but I know they're in heaven and happy for me, because I have three kids,and been married for 22yrs to the man, they loved ,and were happy that I met..
I made the mistake of hitting my mom- once. I was probably three years old. Mom was 5' 7", and as strong as an average male her height and weight. She backhanded me clear across the room, using a martial arts strike properly called the "B***h slap." Nice form- she reached across, touched her opposite shoulder, pushed it back to wind up her torso, then unloaded. She must have picked that up from my sperm donor. As I was lying there on the floor crying, she glared at me and said "I'm a hit-back doll! You hit me, I hit you back harder!" And yes, my narcissist of a mom used to proudly tell this story as an example of what a wonderful parent she was. Just like she did with the story of how, when toddler me wet on the floor, she literally mopped the floor with me and left me in those wet stinky clothes all day to "teach me a lesson."
Story 5...that child is more than old enough to learn the meaning of the word "NO". I need glasses to see clearly. So when my sibling had their first baby, I told them that I wasn't taking my glasses off. So, when the baby got older and started to reach for my glasses, I moved their hand away and said no. I kept that up and the baby learned not to reach for them. And as the baby grew, we continued to use no as needed. Teaching a child about what no means is not abuse. It's preparing the child for the future because they will hear it all throughout their lives. If a parent refuses to teach their child "NO" today, the police will have to do it tomorrow.
Story 5: Coddling a tantrum throwing kid that is violent, and then enabling him? That's no good. Also, it's not power-tripping to try to stop a kid from hurting and breaking stuff I hope this lesson sticks for Karen
@@gorilladisco9108 OP said they only started timeouts after they pushed her down the stairs. I wonder if the boy murdered the baby what the punishment might be then, grounded for a day? No tv for a week? No candy that evening?
Nanny story - I'm sorry, but not only should she have quit after being pushed down the stairs, she had grounds to sue for any injuries. Parents being so negligent toward their children is a form of abuse.
Absolutely! I was a "Manny" to a family that had 9 children. The mom was 5 foot nothing and the Dad was over 6 foot 3 inches and was built like a linebacker. These kids were so well behaved, that even the set of 6 yr old twins were good as gold. Mom had a look that could peel armor and Dad was a Veteran and a current active ANG member. No one, not even his kids wanted to ruffle this man's calm. Point is, discipline was expected AND enforced with fairness and calm. I wouldn't have worked for them for any amount of money if it hadn't been that way.
@davidowens1132 Mad respect to you and the parents! Kids are great when you treat them right, I was a janitor at an elementary school for a year. They ran a tight ship, but every one of those kids was a sweetheart. I miss that job, I'd go back in a heartbeat if they asked me to.
Yeah I was quite shocked when she said she got pushed down the stairs. I was expecting her to say something like she got hit or bit or something. Not pushed down the STAIRS.
Story 4: People in the army will always be held accountable for their spouse's actions (or any other relative), so if Karen was going around wearing her husbands rank as an excuse to talk down to others, that man would've been screwed over badly. Divorce was the right option, Karen might not learn, but at least the dude won't have to worry about her antics
My hubby’s brother joined the USAF and I’m proud of him. But my sister-in-law *always* asks places if there’s a military discount wherever they go! 🙄 We even had a family trip, and unfortunately my brother-in-law wasn’t able to come because he was overseas. But, she *still* kept asking people “is there a military discount?” wherever we went… My great grandfather was in the Army Air Corps in WWII, both my grandpas, and my dad were all in the USAF, and my little sister and her husband are active USAF. I just don’t like that she’s cheap.
where I worked at the time, DJ-ing for kids parties there was a mother who claimed her 7 year old was too young for rules and didn't have to obey any. The place was filled at the time with about 80 of his classmates, (obeying the rules) and their teachers and some other parent chaperones. I felt bad for them having to deal with this kid on a daily basis. Not being my nature to take shit from anyone, I struck a blow for all of them and asked the mother, "When do you intend introducing rules? When he is 17 and coming at you with a knife ?
What's wrong is she's never been slapped with the consequences of her actions... Personally, if I'd been OP, the moment I got pushed down the stairs, I'd be calling 911 to report the Assault and Attempted Murder (you can EASILY break your neck falling down stairs) and then CPS to report both the hyper-violent brat and the fact it's parent refuses to try disciplining/controlling it...
Once again, we're living in Upside-Down-World in 2024.

Karen: I DEMAND YOU OPEN THIS REGISTER RIGHT NOW!!! Me: And I demand you give me 50 Million Dollars right now...looks like we're both going to be disappointed... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
There's a good reason why this is called "The Terrible Twos." Discipline really should begin BEFORE the child turns two years old. Firm, non-violent, non-angry, but firm boundaries prevent unreasonable behavior. Children WANT to know what is acceptable and what they can get away with...THEY ARE LEARNING! Teach them to be well behaved(a great way to do that is to be a well behaved parent.).
Not just in humans! This why pups taken from mom and siblings at 8 weeks is very difficult all their life. 8-12 weeks, their mom and siblings teach them how to be a good boy or girl. Huge difference. Some owners freak out when they see mom biting a puppy, but that's how they learn to behave.
That Karen in service is what we called a depenapotamus. Her husband also lost his career for failure to control his dependents. It can be a career ending charge for many officers and NCOs.
Story 5 - I think the parents gave in because they were afraid OP was going to sue them for the damage their precious baby did to OP. Biting people is not good. But OP should have quit and sued them after the stair incident anyway. She must have been making bank off watching 7 kids.
Last Story: Why was Joe even in the computer repair shop? It didn't sound like he was smart enough to be able to use it as anything but a paperweight. Or maybe, it being 2006, that handy beer holder on the front stopped coming out when he pressed the button.
@@BPJD2004 The racists I've seen weren't necessarily from the South. From the Left, yes, When I did live in the South, (most of my life) I never met anyone as racist as this. Southerners I met were mostly very nice. Too bad you've never met them.
I'm was in the Army at an overseas posting and was sitting in a base cafe, wearing civilian clothing chatting to a couple of young wives I knew when a newly arrived warrant officer's wife butted into our conversation. She started talking down to the two young wives and demanding that they treat her with the dignity due to her husband's rank. I asked her if she could salute? When she asked why, I pointed out that when her husband met me, he was required to salute and therefore, by her own reasoning, she should also salute me. Strangely, she left the conversation very quickly and avoided me after that. 😁
You know who else wears someone else's rank? Secretaries. We had an older lady working for the Colonel who we called General Martha because she thought she was the boss of all the enlisted people working at the base clinic. Come to find out, she was something like a GS-3 or GS-4, which is pretty low ranking for a civilian employee. She was a deeply unpleasant person.
Story 4: I'm retired military and this kind of thing happens with family mambers all the time. Service members have to navigate it with care because the military is VERY family oriented. You can get a dishonorable discharge for have an affair, spousal abbuse, child abuse of any kind determined by professional counseling. With a spouse it's easier. You can go to your command, be totally transparent about wanting a divorce and why, they'll have your back. If you have a child that's messing up it can be nearly impossible formit not to come back on the service member in some way. In severest cases pretty much the only thing you can do to save yourself is retire, send your kid off to private school far away, or send them to live with relatives in another state/country if you can't correct their behavior. It's definitely easier being single in the military.
Story Three: I am AMAZED that OP resisted the urge to say to the Karen "Clearly you have a SCREW LOOSE, I don't know how you want me to address your problem. May I suggest a qualified psychologist?"
I'm one of six boys, no girls. My mum wanted a daughter, but ended up with half a football team. I'm 67, so this goes back abit. If we threw a tantrum! Even in public. My mum would say, " if you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about. " And yes by the time we stopped crying, we had forgotten what we had been crying about in the first place! Times change.
Karen: Shoves a screw in OP's face. OP: "The screws are over there." Karen: "I know that!!!" OP: "So what do you need help with?" Karen: "You tell me!!!" What kind of expert do we need to call in order to analyze this interaction?
Actually, somebody from the hardware department might be able to show her how to use the screw gage, measure the length, and locate a matching product. A wall with 1000 different screws on it can waste hours if you don't know how to do those things. Not to mention that in most of those big box stores certain types of screws are not on display, but rather in cabinets. It really helps to shop the store online so you can find a match and find the bay they are in.
My mom asked my paternal grandmother what burial arrangements she wanted. Grandma Mae grinned at her and said, "Leave me until I get stiff, thread me, and screw me into the ground." This was the same Grandma Mae who disappeared without a trace on her 80th birthday- only to reappear at 2 in the afternoon the next day, drunk as a lord, in the company of a hot 50 year old she'd picked up at the local bar. "It was my birthday, and I decided to celebrate."
Story 5: I’ve babysat for families like that (not 7 kids, more like 2-3) but either not being able to discipline and give them anything they want. Families have been put on a cautious list for other babysitters, some have even got black listed.
Retired military here and, yes, it happened. Not often and not just with officers wives but enlisted wives also. I did know one sergeant that was severely reprimanded because of his wife's actions and they were both returned home from an overseas location on short notice. In the military you, the military member, are responsible for the conduct of your dependents. Their actions reflect on you.
Remember the story where OP was a US civilian living in Japan and happily married to a Japanese man? Military Karen and her pals accused OP of being a "dependapotaumus" and cheating on her military husband with some random Japanese guy. It backfired on Karen and her pals spectacularly.
S5: Hopefully after all that, mommy dearest will keep up the punishment. But mommy’s favorite will always know how to weasel his way out since it’s all she ever taught him.
Story 3: I thought that she was presenting the screw she had lose, it had fallen out and she wanted someone to put it back so her long suffering brain would work again
As a veteran, yes there are many spouses out there who think they carry the rank of their husbands/wives. As a civilian I was listening to a woman, on a military base, brag about ordering enlisted around while her husband was an officer. I looked her straight in the eyes and asked, "What rank was your husband?" "He retired as a colonel." "And what rank did that make you?" I asked. She shut up, gave me a dirty look and then told everyone I wasn't a team player.
Story 4 - I love how Karen tried to use her husband’s military rank to get her way only to have it completely blow up in her face. Now she’s divorced and has to carry that shame with her. Serves her right
Bitches like her are a disgrace to their spouses, the people who're actually doing the work, serving their country, and even risking their lives. Treating others like shit and demanding free shit, even if I was never enlisted, these types of people make me genuinely angry.
Story 1: Ma'am, why don't you look each of these waiting customers in the eye and explain why you think you are so much more important than all of them?
In the Army, a Major is two ranks lower than a Colonel. So, Mrs. Major's Wife Karen has no power over 2nd LT. Belle's boss, the Colonel. Just for those not knowing ranks.
Story 5 - OP should have made sure that they talked to the father directly, to insure he got the whole story, and threatened to sue the family for injures if it happened again.
I suspect the good Major realized how much of a liability Karen was to his Career because after she was ripped a new Waste Disposal Orifice and left the Office like a Bat out of HELL, the good Major was called in and also ripped a new Orifice and told he either gets her under control or you're Career is toast...at which point he knows she's a liability and called a Divorce Lawyer... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I work for a large home improvement retailer. We have 125 employees and yet I somehow manage to do 10% of our annual sales. When a wild Karen threatens to get me fired I look them dead in the eye and say "Do your best." and walk away. My boss knows that if he fires me I cross the street to our competitor and take 10% of the business and half his bonus with me. I like my job, my boss, my customers and they like me. You don't succeed by yourself, it's a team effort, and Karen is not playing on your team.
Story 5: That kid may be young but he needs to be disciplined by his parents. It's not the Nanny responsibility. I would have walked out after the first sign of violence
20:20 "did he do that?!" -OP: "NO! GUESS WHAT! the wildest thing happened!! Some random kid appeared out of NOWHERE bit me and then just disappeared again!!" Wow... This woman should not even had ONE kid 🤦🏾♂️
If your SPOUSE is in the military, the one thing you absolutely do not do is try to use your spouse's rank on military personnel, regardless and especially if your spouse is a medium-high ranking officer or NCO. It WILL cause you and/or your spouse serious problems. These include, but are not limited to, the spouse being denied on-base privileges including shopping at the exchange, being removed from on-base housing (if you are in it), your spouse losing rank, your spouse being restricted to the base and given extra duties after hours and your spouse being transferred to various very undesirable duty stations which may or may not allow spousal accompaniment. It's a very serious breach of protocol which will be punished if you're dumb enough to push it.
TBH, an Army major is not all that high ranking. A major is an O-4 (ranks from O-1 to O-9, with O-9 being the highest rank). A colonel on the other hand is an O-6, just below flag rank.
First Story: as soon as someone who isn't a regular valued customer says some dumb shit like I'm so shocked that even a valued customer such as myself blah blah blah This is when the employee should say you know what you're right and as soon as a valued loyal regular customer comes into the store I'll jump right on helping them.... Until then, line forms up behind that guy... 😂
You want me to do my job and answer every phone call??? Not a problem!!! Copy that Rodger dodger! And, phone's ringing ! got to put you on hold! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That Karen definitely overstepped her bounds. Military dependents are GUESTS of the military. As such they have no rank or authority and can be kicked off base at any time. Their spouses are responsible for their conduct and can even be demoted if the offense is severe enough.
I've heard the military wife's story and the computer repair stories before and they're just a delight to listen to again. The supervisor wasn't the only one with a huge smile.
"are you going to help me or not, I've been standing there forever" Every time I see it, I am baffled, bewildered, wondering what exactly anyone would expect to happen when they just stand around not saying anything or making any meaningful attempt to get the attention of the person they want help from. Do they really think just thinking real hard will send a telepathic signal? No, wait, that would mean they're capable of thought.
The Dependapotamus is a subspecies of Karen commonly found in military environments. Karen aggression ratings generally proportionate to spousal rank and typically at a higher level than the common Karen. Aggression also sharply increases the smaller the victim (measured by rank).
I really like the fall background in the video with the fallen fall leaves on the ground, and the little house with the chimney smoking. It actually relaxed me while listening and following along with the stories. Can't wait to see the winter background in a few months.
I freaking love seeing fall leaves and autumn stuff in November instead of Christmas stuff! I love the holiday but I’m gonna get burnt out if I see too much off it this soon
Story 3: my job is the same as the OP’s online order fulfillment, we go about the store grabbing everything from the single pack of lightbulb orders to, I am building an entire deck or renovating an entire bathroom package. Lots of moving, lots of lifting. As such we lack the more specific details of any department, we may pick up on some things (hardware is not one of them due to the sheer amount of stuff) but we do know where everything pretty much is and can point the way in a heartbeat. I’ll help a customer lift something or get something down but I always call or point them to a department associate if they need something more than a ‘Where is this?’ Or ‘can you get this down for me?’ I have thankfully never had to deal with an angry Karen waving a screw in my face.
Yes, it's easy to tell when an employee is fulfilling an order. They have a cart or basket with stuff in it. I sometimes ask them which aisle I need to look in, but that's it. They don't even need to stop walking.
It would have gotten him fired, but that Op needed to look that Karen in the face and said: "SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT MA'AM, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT YOU NEED ME TO NOT JUST TRY, BUT ACTUALLY SUCCEED, IN FINDING, PULLING OUT , AND THEN GIVING YOU THAT NICE , LONG, HARD SCREW YOU ARE LOOKING FOR??? AND THEN YOU WANT ME TO CHARGE YOU FOR THE SCREW?? ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M SORRY MA'AM I DON'T KNOW IF THAT FITS MY JOB DESCRIPTION...." AGAIN THE OP WOULD HAVE GOTTEN FIRED FOR IT , BUT MY GOD, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT!!! HE WOULD BE A LEGEND AT THAT JOB THAT WOULD BE TOLD TO ALL THE NEW HIRES FOR CENTURIES TO COME!!! AND CAN YOU JUST PICTURE THE KAREN'S FACE IF HE WAS ABLE TO GET THAT WHOLE PARAGRAPH OUT???? WITHOUT BUSTING INTO LAUGHING!!! LIKE IF HE JUST SAID ALL THAT WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD ASS SERIOUS FACE!! MY GOD...🤣🤣🤣🤣🕺🏼🕺🏼
Story 2 - When Karens demand for people to do there job that’s Karenese for ‘serve me and only me when I tell you to, don’t bother with anyone else less important than me’
They were. The N-slur is one of a scant few things that is not under 1A protections and will get you put in the clink for hate crimes. The store will need to adopt a policy for customers to check their bigotry at the door before they get served.
Regarding the last story, I live in Columbus GA, and witnessed this one. It was ridiculous... this was before they moved the Best Buy from where it was near the highway.
I'm surprised one of them didn't punch him when he hit them. This is typical in large families. Older siblings teach their younger ones how to behave. It was mom's fault she prevented that.
For story #5, if a demon child bites me or pushes me down the stairs and the parents refuse to properly discipline them, I'd just quit and I'd warn my agency and nanny friends to not work for them.
Actually when a new register shows up it does make sense for people who are at the back to move forward because that's the whole point of opening up a new registers to make the line shorter
Nanny story: Those children were not homeschooled. They weren't schooled at all and are an insult to every family that truly educates their children outside of a traditional school. I've known homeschooling families, and their children were polite, well-spoken, and very knowledgeable. Public or private school kids could not hold a candle to them. I've also had a public school student who had been "homeschooled" by a mom who gave him one worksheet a day the previous year. He was far behind his peers, and just a nasty person.
7 kids, and you can't discipline them. There's no way I'd work there. You couldn't pay me enough

Just because you can have kids. Does not mean you should get them.
Applicable to much. Just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should or have to do a thing.

Story 2 - Hey Karen told OP to ‘Do your damn job and to answer every call’ and he did, so she can’t really bitch about OP ‘doing his job’.
Last Story: Why was Joe even in the computer repair shop? It didn't sound like he was smart enough to be able to use it as anything but a paperweight. Or maybe, it being 2006, that handy beer holder on the front stopped coming out when he pressed the button.
I don't even believe that tale. Karen stories are the Reddit version of fan fiction.
@@freethebirds3578So you think racists don’t exist? You are obviously not from the South.
@@BPJD2004 The racists I've seen weren't necessarily from the South. From the Left, yes, When I did live in the South, (most of my life) I never met anyone as racist as this. Southerners I met were mostly very nice. Too bad you've never met them.
I'm was in the Army at an overseas posting and was sitting in a base cafe, wearing civilian clothing chatting to a couple of young wives I knew when a newly arrived warrant officer's wife butted into our conversation. She started talking down to the two young wives and demanding that they treat her with the dignity due to her husband's rank.
I asked her if she could salute? When she asked why, I pointed out that when her husband met me, he was required to salute and therefore, by her own reasoning, she should also salute me.
Strangely, she left the conversation very quickly and avoided me after that. 😁
You know who else wears someone else's rank? Secretaries. We had an older lady working for the Colonel who we called General Martha because she thought she was the boss of all the enlisted people working at the base clinic. Come to find out, she was something like a GS-3 or GS-4, which is pretty low ranking for a civilian employee. She was a deeply unpleasant person.
The autumn thumbnail is amazing 🍂
Story 4: I'm retired military and this kind of thing happens with family mambers all the time. Service members have to navigate it with care because the military is VERY family oriented. You can get a dishonorable discharge for have an affair, spousal abbuse, child abuse of any kind determined by professional counseling. With a spouse it's easier. You can go to your command, be totally transparent about wanting a divorce and why, they'll have your back. If you have a child that's messing up it can be nearly impossible formit not to come back on the service member in some way. In severest cases pretty much the only thing you can do to save yourself is retire, send your kid off to private school far away, or send them to live with relatives in another state/country if you can't correct their behavior. It's definitely easier being single in the military.
Story Three: I am AMAZED that OP resisted the urge to say to the Karen "Clearly you have a SCREW LOOSE, I don't know how you want me to address your problem. May I suggest a qualified psychologist?"
I'm one of six boys, no girls. My mum wanted a daughter, but ended up with half a football team. I'm 67, so this goes back abit. If we threw a tantrum! Even in public. My mum would say, " if you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about. " And yes by the time we stopped crying, we had forgotten what we had been crying about in the first place! Times change.
Karen: Shoves a screw in OP's face.
OP: "The screws are over there."
Karen: "I know that!!!"
OP: "So what do you need help with?"
Karen: "You tell me!!!"
What kind of expert do we need to call in order to analyze this interaction?
She needs an anger management class.
Actually, somebody from the hardware department might be able to show her how to use the screw gage, measure the length, and locate a matching product. A wall with 1000 different screws on it can waste hours if you don't know how to do those things. Not to mention that in most of those big box stores certain types of screws are not on display, but rather in cabinets. It really helps to shop the store online so you can find a match and find the bay they are in.
My mom asked my paternal grandmother what burial arrangements she wanted. Grandma Mae grinned at her and said, "Leave me until I get stiff, thread me, and screw me into the ground."
This was the same Grandma Mae who disappeared without a trace on her 80th birthday- only to reappear at 2 in the afternoon the next day, drunk as a lord, in the company of a hot 50 year old she'd picked up at the local bar. "It was my birthday, and I decided to celebrate."
"Well, based on the evidence presented to me, it seems you have a screw loose ma'am."
Story 5: I’ve babysat for families like that (not 7 kids, more like 2-3) but either not being able to discipline and give them anything they want.
Families have been put on a cautious list for other babysitters, some have even got black listed.
Retired military here and, yes, it happened. Not often and not just with officers wives but enlisted wives also. I did know one sergeant that was severely reprimanded because of his wife's actions and they were both returned home from an overseas location on short notice. In the military you, the military member, are responsible for the conduct of your dependents. Their actions reflect on you.
Remember the story where OP was a US civilian living in Japan and happily married to a Japanese man? Military Karen and her pals accused OP of being a "dependapotaumus" and cheating on her military husband with some random Japanese guy. It backfired on Karen and her pals spectacularly.
Love the background! Thanks darkfluff for uploading everyday, its always a highlight :)
I was about to say the same thing! Love the autumnal feel. :)
That last story was the most hilarious I've heard this year!
IKR I laughed so hard when she they sent 2 black officers.
S5: Hopefully after all that, mommy dearest will keep up the punishment. But mommy’s favorite will always know how to weasel his way out since it’s all she ever taught him.
I wonder at which age did she use timeout chair for her older children?
Story 1 - OP handled that beautifully. Well done.
Story 3: I thought that she was presenting the screw she had lose, it had fallen out and she wanted someone to put it back so her long suffering brain would work again
I can only hope Joe gets a black judge at his hearing for making threats against people's lives. That would be *chef's kiss*
And in jail he gets a black inmate!
Then he'll be more broken than his computer!
As a veteran, yes there are many spouses out there who think they carry the rank of their husbands/wives.
As a civilian I was listening to a woman, on a military base, brag about ordering enlisted around while her husband was an officer. I looked her straight in the eyes and asked, "What rank was your husband?"
"He retired as a colonel."
"And what rank did that make you?" I asked.
She shut up, gave me a dirty look and then told everyone I wasn't a team player.
Says the leech who isn't even a part of the team.
@@michaelgum97 Que?
@@JasonON
Sorry, I was referring to her as the leech.
@michaelgum97 She definitely walked around with Karen vibes. I dont think anyone had ever told her the truth before, according to her reaction.
Story 4 - I love how Karen tried to use her husband’s military rank to get her way only to have it completely blow up in her face. Now she’s divorced and has to carry that shame with her. Serves her right
Bitches like her are a disgrace to their spouses, the people who're actually doing the work, serving their country, and even risking their lives.
Treating others like shit and demanding free shit, even if I was never enlisted, these types of people make me genuinely angry.
That last story was priceless! 😂😂😂
Story 3 - I love how OP’s manager completely ignores Karen like she wasn’t there. 😂😂😂
Story 1: Ma'am, why don't you look each of these waiting customers in the eye and explain why you think you are so much more important than all of them?
Agree about loving the timely scenery changes!
Malicious Compliance is my very favorite Dark Fluff topic
In the Army, a Major is two ranks lower than a Colonel. So, Mrs. Major's Wife Karen has no power over 2nd LT. Belle's boss, the Colonel.
Just for those not knowing ranks.
That last story always puts a big smile on my face. It always seems to get better the farther you go into it
Omg, I nearly choked on my breakfast on Story 6 when the cops came, with a mouth full of food and an unvoluntary laugh escaped.
Story 5 - OP should have made sure that they talked to the father directly, to insure he got the whole story, and threatened to sue the family for injures if it happened again.
I suspect the good Major realized how much of a liability Karen was to his Career because after she was ripped a new Waste Disposal Orifice and left the Office like a Bat out of HELL, the good Major was called in and also ripped a new Orifice and told he either gets her under control or you're Career is toast...at which point he knows she's a liability and called a Divorce Lawyer...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I work for a large home improvement retailer. We have 125 employees and yet I somehow manage to do 10% of our annual sales. When a wild Karen threatens to get me fired I look them dead in the eye and say "Do your best." and walk away. My boss knows that if he fires me I cross the street to our competitor and take 10% of the business and half his bonus with me. I like my job, my boss, my customers and they like me. You don't succeed by yourself, it's a team effort, and Karen is not playing on your team.
Story 4: Gotta love the dependas!
Story 5: That kid may be young but he needs to be disciplined by his parents. It's not the Nanny responsibility. I would have walked out after the first sign of violence
Love the new autumn background!
I love the “Belle” stories. Please keep them coming!
20:20 "did he do that?!"
-OP: "NO! GUESS WHAT! the wildest thing happened!! Some random kid appeared out of NOWHERE bit me and then just disappeared again!!"
Wow... This woman should not even had ONE kid 🤦🏾♂️
If your SPOUSE is in the military, the one thing you absolutely do not do is try to use your spouse's rank on military personnel, regardless and especially if your spouse is a medium-high ranking officer or NCO. It WILL cause you and/or your spouse serious problems. These include, but are not limited to, the spouse being denied on-base privileges including shopping at the exchange, being removed from on-base housing (if you are in it), your spouse losing rank, your spouse being restricted to the base and given extra duties after hours and your spouse being transferred to various very undesirable duty stations which may or may not allow spousal accompaniment. It's a very serious breach of protocol which will be punished if you're dumb enough to push it.
TBH, an Army major is not all that high ranking. A major is an O-4 (ranks from O-1 to O-9, with O-9 being the highest rank). A colonel on the other hand is an O-6, just below flag rank.
First Story: as soon as someone who isn't a regular valued customer says some dumb shit like I'm so shocked that even a valued customer such as myself blah blah blah
This is when the employee should say you know what you're right and as soon as a valued loyal regular customer comes into the store I'll jump right on helping them.... Until then, line forms up behind that guy... 😂
5th story - there's somethng wrong with that kid. Temper tantrums are one thing, but a full-on rant and wreck like that is something else.
You want me to do my job and answer every phone call??? Not a problem!!!
Copy that Rodger dodger!
And, phone's ringing ! got to put you on hold! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That Karen definitely overstepped her bounds. Military dependents are GUESTS of the military. As such they have no rank or authority and can be kicked off base at any time. Their spouses are responsible for their conduct and can even be demoted if the offense is severe enough.
I've heard the military wife's story and the computer repair stories before and they're just a delight to listen to again. The supervisor wasn't the only one with a huge smile.
Story #1---OP's response was PERFECT!
That last one! I'd love to see that CCTV with audio! Eat it Joe!!
"are you going to help me or not, I've been standing there forever"
Every time I see it, I am baffled, bewildered, wondering what exactly anyone would expect to happen when they just stand around not saying anything or making any meaningful attempt to get the attention of the person they want help from. Do they really think just thinking real hard will send a telepathic signal? No, wait, that would mean they're capable of thought.
Story 2: I do hope OP come back and tell us how long he has been keeping that Karen on hold whenever she called back again.
Being pushed off the stairs and keep working there with parents with that attitude....dont put yourself at that risk
The Dependapotamus is a subspecies of Karen commonly found in military environments. Karen aggression ratings generally proportionate to spousal rank and typically at a higher level than the common Karen. Aggression also sharply increases the smaller the victim (measured by rank).
Love the autumnal landscape Fluff! Tell Steve-o he did good. 😍
I really like the fall background in the video with the fallen fall leaves on the ground, and the little house with the chimney smoking. It actually relaxed me while listening and following along with the stories. Can't wait to see the winter background in a few months.
I freaking love seeing fall leaves and autumn stuff in November instead of Christmas stuff! I love the holiday but I’m gonna get burnt out if I see too much off it this soon
All I see in November are storms, heatwaves and sultry days with high humidity.
Story 3: my job is the same as the OP’s online order fulfillment, we go about the store grabbing everything from the single pack of lightbulb orders to, I am building an entire deck or renovating an entire bathroom package. Lots of moving, lots of lifting.
As such we lack the more specific details of any department, we may pick up on some things (hardware is not one of them due to the sheer amount of stuff) but we do know where everything pretty much is and can point the way in a heartbeat.
I’ll help a customer lift something or get something down but I always call or point them to a department associate if they need something more than a ‘Where is this?’ Or ‘can you get this down for me?’
I have thankfully never had to deal with an angry Karen waving a screw in my face.
Yes, it's easy to tell when an employee is fulfilling an order. They have a cart or basket with stuff in it. I sometimes ask them which aisle I need to look in, but that's it. They don't even need to stop walking.
@@BigGuy8059
Yeah, I sometimes did that when I filled online orders as a part of my previous job.
Wonder how long it'll be before he pitches the timeout chair through a window, since Mom didn't start the discipline soon enough.
The nanny story reminds me of what my dad taught me about raising my own children:
Train your kids, or your kids will train you.
It would have gotten him fired, but that Op needed to look that Karen in the face and said:
"SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT MA'AM, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT YOU NEED ME TO NOT JUST TRY, BUT ACTUALLY SUCCEED, IN FINDING, PULLING OUT , AND THEN GIVING YOU THAT NICE , LONG, HARD SCREW YOU ARE LOOKING FOR???
AND THEN YOU WANT ME TO CHARGE YOU FOR THE SCREW??
ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M SORRY MA'AM I DON'T KNOW IF THAT FITS MY JOB DESCRIPTION...."
AGAIN THE OP WOULD HAVE GOTTEN FIRED FOR IT , BUT MY GOD, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT!!! HE WOULD BE A LEGEND AT THAT JOB THAT WOULD BE TOLD TO ALL THE NEW HIRES FOR CENTURIES TO COME!!!
AND CAN YOU JUST PICTURE THE KAREN'S FACE IF HE WAS ABLE TO GET THAT WHOLE PARAGRAPH OUT???? WITHOUT BUSTING INTO LAUGHING!!! LIKE IF HE JUST SAID ALL THAT WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD ASS SERIOUS FACE!!
MY GOD...🤣🤣🤣🤣🕺🏼🕺🏼
A 2 year old for sure should know right from wrong. Heck, an 8 month old should know better.
Not enough classic Sesame Street apparently.
Story 2 - When Karens demand for people to do there job that’s Karenese for ‘serve me and only me when I tell you to, don’t bother with anyone else less important than me’
"Are you gonna help me or not?"
"Not."
Story 5 - This is why I will never be a nanny or deal with kids.
Still a confirmed bachelor and will die a confirmed bachelor. Any kids I have will be the furry kind.
@ Ditto, though for me it’s ‘confirmed bachelorette’.
What’s the point of leaving a voice mail and complaining if you aren’t going to leave your contact details to phone back? I hate peoples that do that
Oh my God!I looooove when there's a change of scenery ❤
Story #5: I would have just quit but I would have went off like a twister in Texas after being pushed down the stairs!!
Story 5: Push me down the stairs and bite me? I would have quit on the spot, and sued the family into bankruptcy.
The last story had me in stitches, Joes mind must have short circuited. I was hoping the police were also people of colour.
Yep, two black officers dragged his bigoted ass outta there.
They were. The N-slur is one of a scant few things that is not under 1A protections and will get you put in the clink for hate crimes. The store will need to adopt a policy for customers to check their bigotry at the door before they get served.
Regarding the last story, I live in Columbus GA, and witnessed this one. It was ridiculous... this was before they moved the Best Buy from where it was near the highway.
There are 6 children older than the 3 year old with a temper. I am amazed they are not all the same. I assume none f them were disciplined either.
5. One was younger.
I'm surprised one of them didn't punch him when he hit them. This is typical in large families. Older siblings teach their younger ones how to behave. It was mom's fault she prevented that.
Malicious compliance is my favorite!
Screw waving story:
You have to help me!
Sorry, I cannot help you as I am not a licensed psychologist.
Final Story - Wow, just… wow.
*Giggles through the first 5 stories before ABSOLUTELY BUSTING a gut laughing my head off at story 6*
For story #5, if a demon child bites me or pushes me down the stairs and the parents refuse to properly discipline them, I'd just quit and I'd warn my agency and nanny friends to not work for them.
Was the child a reincarnation of John Wayne Gacy?
Story 5: Never, ever allow anyone to commit violence against you...or your charges aka the other kids. Period.
Now days, parents give their kid a “Time Out.” Oh, Hell Naw!! My Dad would take “time out” of his busy day to blister my butt.
Story 5: she nannied the mother. That's such a power move.
Autumn background looks cool. You can take all those leaves, put it in a pile and dive right in. 😂
That last one is hilarious xD
Actually when a new register shows up it does make sense for people who are at the back to move forward because that's the whole point of opening up a new registers to make the line shorter
I still love Bell's stories.
Nanny story: Those children were not homeschooled. They weren't schooled at all and are an insult to every family that truly educates their children outside of a traditional school. I've known homeschooling families, and their children were polite, well-spoken, and very knowledgeable. Public or private school kids could not hold a candle to them.
I've also had a public school student who had been "homeschooled" by a mom who gave him one worksheet a day the previous year. He was far behind his peers, and just a nasty person.
Omg I always always listen to your videos but just now realized the autumn background, lovely
Story 2: Brilliant.
I really like your new background. Very colorful and quite pretty!
Thank you again❤
Ooo...I love the new background!
Hey RW loving your stories and the background!
Love the fall background 😊
Story 6. Joe needs to take a chill pill.
Nah, Joe needs to spend a night or two in jail, with BUBBA!!! lol!
Don't remember seeing this background before. I like it.
