Story 1: Even if the guy DID have a severe allergy and ended up in the hospital, the fact that he gaslit OP, lied to OP and kept stealing OPs food, I wouldn't feel bad for the guy and OP would NOT be the AH. Why? Because the dude shouldn't have been stealing OPs food in the first place. Moral of the story, if you're with a roommate and you guys agree to not eat each other's food, don't steal their food. Because you never know, it could have something you have an allergy or intolerance to.
I agreed on that. Also I can't handle a lot of dairy due to no gallbladder so I'm essentially drinking lactose free milk which there isn't much difference on taste.
You'd think that if someone has an allergy or is lactose intolerant they wouldn't WANT to eat someone else's food given the risk it might contain something that'll send them to the hospital/bathroom for hours.
Story 1: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you just take someone’s stuff after being told NOT to…you get what you deserve. Besides it’s not like you put something in there that would kill him. I’m allergic to Ginger and if someone put Ginger in my food I would die, but I wouldn’t blame another person for having Ginger in their own food if I stupidly ate it.
@@heididietrich9800 yea I love the way it tastes. The worst part is whenever I’m at a party with punch. I have to ask what it’s made with, and I get the comments like “You can’t be allergic to ginger because it helps calm your stomach aches”. That doesn’t change the fact I’ll be puking all night and break out in a head to toe rash…but God bless my wife though. She always checks the ingredients before she cooks something new at home. Like a frozen (mostly) Chinese dish typically has ginger and PF Chang’s has a lot of ginger in their sauces. But I know what not to eat and what I can
In my country they would just back up and remove the car by force or have it towed pretty much immidietly and then load the patient up and drive to the nearest hospital.
Regarding the last story, I remember a summer job in the 80s. The store manager (wife of the absentee golfer owner) took no crap from customers. We were told that if a customer tried to pull some scam or other we were authorized to say, "I'm sorry, that item is no longer for sale," and take it away. There was no haggling and there is, in fact, no contract until money changes hands so just because some item is on the shelves did not mean we were under any obligation to sell it. An offer to sell does not equal an obligation to sell, especially to a-holes. She could be hard but sure as hell had our backs when dealing with entiteled customers.
Story 4: In the UK if you refuse to get out of any emergency service vehicle they have full rights to plough your vehicle out of its way and you will be facing the damage charges as well as an arrest for obstructing the emergency services which could leave you with an automatic addition of nine points on your licence meaning you will be going in front of a judge in court to explain why you felt it necessary to delay them…. My advice, just get out their f*****g way! 😁
In my area there's a similar policy but usually they either call Fire or police fire because they have the equipment to just pull it out of the way police have their pit bars, simply due to most ambulances in my area from the more modern to the relics that are still roving can't really take the abuse of moving a another vehicle out of the way
Unfortunately the ambulances in the UK can't move a vehicle out of the way but they can side swipe you. Strangely people are getting more entitled in the UK and have started complaining about ambulances blocking their driveway and refusing to move their vehicles pit of emergency vehicles way etc.. The police would make them move though. I even saw on tv a van driver here in the UK refuse to reverse up to let an ambulance through until he saw he was being filmed by a tv crew, the man in the ambulance was having a massive heart attack and sadly died a few days later. The man's sons were pleading with the van driver to move and he wouldn't until he saw he was on film. My Dad's friend was in a big lorry trying to get to a company to deliver their items when he came across a familiar site. A line of illegally parked cars blocking the entire road in, so he called the police. The police had repeatedly warned people action would be taken if they continued parking there via signs and warnings on the cars. So he got to sit back and watch police officers use their batons to smash every drivers window so they could release the handbrake and push the cars clear. Nobody parked there again!! Only an emergency vehicle has the right to block a road. Can you imagine the owners faces when they got back to their car and find the police smashed it so you can't claim for it either!?!
@@shendisackett They are allowed to break traffic laws in emergency situations and drivers are supposed to get out of their way.. No one has the right to block an Ambulance. I didn’t say they could try and claim insurance but no company will take your side if it’s proven you were preventing the emergency services
Story 2: If there is a silver lining to the situation, OP pretty much got the last laugh since karma came in the form of no quarters. But seriously, you pretty much can't pluck someone out of one of those machines without any consequence.
A woman tried that crap on my daughter when she was only 3 years old. It was at the Mall and the ride was a small space shuttle that barely moved. I put her on it, popped in the $.50 and it started. I walked over to get a drink from the machine literally 4 ft away. This evil harpy tried to pick up my kid and put her son on the ride. My daughter hates strangers that try to just pick her up (family she’s never met mostly). Thank goodness she put her son down before reaching of for my little angel, who started screaming when she got too close to her. She actually said “Get off this ride you little b-tch!” I didn’t wait to ask, I just shoved her as hard as I could and screamed “DON’T YOU EVER TRY TO TOUCH MY DAUGHTER! NEXT TIME YOU WON’T LIVE THRU IT!!” Cops came running and put ME in handcuffs thanks to Ultra C-NT saying I was molesting kids…But once they reviews the cameras I was let go. I guarantee she never touched another kid without thinking of the 15ft she went flying across the Mall.
SEE? THIS. THIS IS WHY I DON'T TRUST WOMEN! I WAS AT A HALLOWEEN PARTY AND A WOMAN HAD HER BOOBS OUT WITH HER NIPPLES DECORATED. AND THIS WOMAN PULLS THIS OFF AND GETS AWAY WITH TOUCHING YOUR DAUGHTER? THE NEXT TIME MY MOM LAYS A HAND ON ME, WILL BE THE LAST TIME SHE HAS HANDS.
Story 1: The guy is a Hypocrite, he expects that people don't steal his' food, but he is ok with stealing other people's food and blame someone for buying food that disagrees with his' body, He deserved a lot more than Diarrhea, also what kind of thief complains that the food they stole is bad for them to the person they stole it from?!
The last story reminded me of the time I worked at 🎯. A married couple would come in and raid the clearance racks. She found a cute baby outfit on the 90% off rack which is pretty rare to find. They would raid the clearance racks then remove all the clearance tags and resell them at their business. And who she got mad at me because I refused to give her another 5% off, because it was missing the small bag that had a button and thread in it. The other outfits that weren't on clearance had these little bags with buttons and thread that matched the fabric. But this one outfit didn't. She got so mad she grabbed all the clothes that were in the cart and threw them on the floor and stepped on them and walked out of the store. She was trespassed from the only 🎯 in town
Third story: We should make ambulances with the power of firetrucks, if things like this happens again then the ambulance can whreck the car of the a**hole.
Afaik, it'd be legal in most places to break into that blocking car to loosen the parking brake/put it in neutral so that it can be pushed out of the way.
that karen should have had her license revoked for blocking the ambulance and charged with impeding Emergency Services, because if something happened to the kid, then the charges would get upgraded
that karen should have had her license revoked for blocking the ambulance and charged with impeding Emergency Services, because if something happened to the kid, then the charges would get upgraded
Back in the '80s, I did exactly the same thing. Mom would send me to the store with a $10 bill, and I would buy her cigarettes, even as young as seven to eight years old. Back in those days, that wasn't unusual.
Back then, whenever a kid come in to buy cigarettes, alcohol or any «adult» stuff, everyone and their neighbours would just assume that it's for the parents.
Yeah I remember going to the local convenience store 2 blocks away at that age to buy cigarettes for my dad. Everyone that worked at the store knew my whole family
I remember an old Donald Duck cartoon where his nephews buy him some cigars as a birthday present and nobody thinks twice about kids buying them. (Then Donald mistakenly believes that they've bought them so they can try smoking them and decides to "teach them a lesson" by making them smoke all of them in one sitting. Only when they're on the last cigars does he discover the card in the cigar box: "Happy Birthday Uncle Donald" ... Ooooh, boy!)
When I was in high school, shortly after getting my license, I’d do the grocery shopping. Dad (or Mom once she moved up to where we were living) would write out a check and sign it. I’d do the shopping, show my DL with the matching address and that was that. Sometimes I’d add something that wasn’t on the list as a “fee” for doing the shopping, but generally it was something I needed. Once I added feminine hygiene stuff that was rather expensive (for a 16-17yo) and when I got home, I defended my purchase. My dad looked at me and said, “If you needed it, you needed it. Why are you sorry for adding it?” Must have been the Girl Scout in me. When I was 17, I got a job at a clothing store called County Seat that was in a strip mall in the neighborhood. We regularly had teens come in with their parents’ credit cards or signed checks to get their basic “school uniform” pieces, usually navy blue, maroon or tan corduroys and navy crew neck sweaters for the local Catholic schools. Often they were kids that came regularly *with* their parents, so we knew them. Sometimes the parent would call the store ahead and let us know what was allowed or not on the purchase. (“No, Susie may *not* add Gloria Vanderbilt jeans to the purchase. Tell her I said so.”). Then when they’d sign the credit card triplicate form, we’d have them add Son or Daughter in parentheses. Since the store kept a copy, we’d have the record.
Story 1: You really wanna put someone off of eating your food? Lace it with straight peppermint extract, it will 100% ruin whatever is left but the thief learns a valuable lesson. Story 2: My grandpa used to work as a firefighter and would be the one in charge of most emergency scenes. He would of had the cops ram the car out of the way. (He once screamed at the head of Secret Service cause they needed to fly a helicopter over the WH cause a child victim was going to die if they went around) He 100% would of destroyed that woman's car.
And the taxes weren't like 90% of the price... We don't smoke, but mothersnail did. Took the proverbial 'elephant standing on the chest' to convince to ditch the coffin nails. Poor mum... now she's pretty much just running out the clock hoping for a 'clean kill' from the Great Snail...
I remember in 90's as a kid I was buying cigarettes for my grandpa. He was writing on paper what he wanted, I was giving it to the clerk with a money and he was giving me cigarettes :)
Story 1: Back in the day, I used to have issues with everyone drinking my KoolAid (seriously), because I would sweeten it with Equal, and not leave me with any. So I would purposely make it unsweetened. After that, no one would touch it.
I don't have to worry about someone taking my chocolate. I buy the really hard, unsweetened 'Bakers Chocolate' and watch people gag as I break off a chunk and let it slowly dissolve in my mouth. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey fluff there is a complete Halloween costume of Karen. Complete with the Karen hairstyle and the typical sunglasses. It even has the “I wanna talk to your manager” t shirt and a Karen’s purse.
Story 1: Definitely NTA, dude's just plain entitled. Super stingy about food he buys, but helps himself to Op's food? Just entitled. Op just reused a milk container. It's not like they put glue in it and really hurt Randy, dude just had to be on the toilet for awhile. Op was just tired of his paycheck filling up Randy's stomach than his own.
First story.... That guy had it totally coming. As someone with issues on certain food... I sure as heck wouldnt take without permission someone elses stuff! If you steal then I say long as it doesnt kill them or such go for the revenge.
I often walked over a half mile to a small Mom and Pop type store to buy a carton of cigarettes for my mother while I was a pre teen. I remember how mad she got at that store when a carton hit $2. This was in the early '60s.
Story 1: This has "I put ghost pepper in my lunch to see which coworker is stealing it" vibes. Never eat something that doesn't belong to you, *especially* if you have food allergies.
Story 2 : If a stranger did that to my kid (like touching and stuff, and technically stealing aswell and looking like he/she was kidnapping my kid) would be grabbed by the hair untill they fall and then a quick stomp with my boot on their face. Then call the cops for : assault on minor, theft and possible kidnapping. and hold him/ her at g*npoint! No doubt. EDIT : Story 3 that's pretty much attempted murder, obstruction of an ambo etc.... She needs to be removed with any position that involves kids.
👏👏💯👏👏 *Ain't no doubt about it! If ANYONE would have ever laid hands on one of MY sons.. it would have been their first and LAST time they did it! Bet that!* *When my youngest son had his bike stolen, right outside our damn door... it wasn't but like 20 mins later, I found the SOB who stole it (he was ON my son's bike when I found him right up the road) I told my son, get in the truck now! I flew up the road, yelled out the window for him to STOP, well he got down on the side of the road.. by the curb.. so I pinned his ass up against the curb and the tire of my truck! His foot was stuck.. I jumped out of my truck and grabbed the bike.. threw it in the bed of my truck.. all while having the cops on the phone, giving description!* *There's a bike trail across the street from my house.. and all FIVE of the b@$tards took off up towards Mansfield.. well, the cops busted all 5 of them!! 3 of them were 18 & older.. and were charged with B&E as they had stolen bikes out of the garages of my neighbors! So needless to say, they all were charged and I never did see them again! But.. my son got his bike back.. then later my son said.. "Man Mom, you were bad ass.. and I've never seen you THAT MAD"! I got a kick out of that!* 😂😂
When I was a kid (around 5 I think), in the 80's, an entitled mother tried to do the exact same thing to me as one did to OP. She tried to take me off a ride that my mother had paid for, my Mum was paying to groceries and the ride was next to the till. She wanted to put her kid on the ride for free. Well me being an evil smart little sh*t, just pointed at the entitled woman and screamed "STRANGER" very slowly. Well the entitled woman got scared, put me down and ran off with everyone in the shop shouting back after her. I got a free ride 😈🤣
I have multiple stories from my time as a first responder about moving cars out of the way of ambulances, fire hydrants, and fir trucks. We break the glass and the shifter (if automatic) and just shove it and let it roll down a hill, or into a tree. Very satisfying I must say….
Lady in story 2 is a GenX'er probably. We literally did those things. My mother was Merit's or Cambridge. She'd hand me a $5 bill and I'd get her like 4 packs and the change was mine (I was luckier... was more like 75¢ to a dollar. Smokes were like 75-90¢. This went on for awhile until the store said "We kinda need a note in the future." She started sending notes. "Yeah, we need to talk to her..." so they called the house. Finally it became "We can't sell you these anymore." LOL! That was circa 1985ish
There is a saying in other communities, that the issue resides in how some people are never held accountable for their actions: they use their looks, prestige, or children to bend the will of the people to their favour. This Karen seems a prime example of that, as it took the whole store paying attention to the repercussions for her to actually understand what she did wrong. Anything short of that would be brushed off with her excuses and forgotten later.
@@wessexdruid7598 it is an issue of legality. In order to charge her, a company needs to have 1. Prior knowledge of wrongdoing, 2. Must have a stolen or broken object, and 3. Definite proof that she was willing to abandon it. With the necklace, they never seen her break it, so must assume her innocence (for legal reasons). With the sweater, they had OP to act as witness, but the sweater hadn't actually broke yet. Had the seams torn, then they had right to legal discourse.
Yeah. And it's stupidity like this that is both A making it harder for emergencies to be taken seriously and B, taking valuable police resources away from ACTUAL crimes.
Fluff I am older than the person in the second story a few years because I turned 10 in 1980, but I remember being sent to the store for both beer and cigarettes in the USA from the age of maybe 7 to about 12. Granted the store was almost directly across the street from my parents house and we lived in a very rural area.
I would put ghost pepper flakes on something that was particularly enticing to Randy. And then mark every subsequent container "caution:hot" after the first time. But he would absolutely have to learn his lesson first.
That last Karen can be banned for destruction of property because it's store property untill she buys it... it's always best to have cctv all over the place for "theft prevention" All you have to do is put the cameras up and put a sign at the door to say there are cameras around... Then these Karens would never try that again and if they still do - they'd pay extra
As someone who had their session of *Space Duel* ruined thanks to an entitled kid *touching the controls* , I can sympathize with the OP in the second story. -_- What made it worse was when I told my own mother about it (I was 12 at the time), she confronted the EM about her son's actions. Because the EM claimed that she didn't have anymore quarters, both jerks got away with it. 9_9 With the number of emulators available, I may give the game another try someday. Plus, who knows, maybe the 'sweet spot' that I discovered will net me a high score/world record? ^_^
One time at work someone kept stealing my lunch so I prepared an especially delicious looking pasta dish to bring as my lunch. But I laced it with ghost pepper oil. I put alot in it. Placed my lunch in the fridge and waited. Before lunch at some point we were told that one of the employees (the lunch thief) was being sent to the hospital for having some sort of "severe allergic reaction". I never had an issue with my lunch being stolen after that incident lmfao Lunch thief was totally okay, he had no allergic reaction, just a normal bodily response to consuming an outrageous amount of capsaicin lol he never apologized but he avoided me and never made eye contact again.
First sorry Randy is lucky to not have me for a roommate I think I would have added some additional things to the regular milk. Nothing that'd kill him but something to either disgust or make the run worse.
Last story, customer is 100% damaging goods to get discounts, shes the kind of customer who'd eat half of a pack of grapes and then pay for the remaining half
Many years ago I was a baker at Wal-Mart and there was a man, very very big, who would reach into thebaked goods shelf and move the individual pecan rolls around, and actually pick up the nuts and eat them. He would buy a dozen donuts but only reach the counter with eight. He denied all this, saying he cou[dn[t eat a single donut at a sitting,(yeah, right) But he Complained when we sent a worker to keep an eye on him. Finally he stopped showing up at our store.
@@deniseeulert2503 i get kids who steal from my work, so we started having me follow them around the store because we cant trust them alone, they started asking why im following them, im autistic so imma be blunt, told them "because you steal, we know you do, and now we cant trust you, you wont stay out of the shop, so you get to be watched and treated like a criminal" they got angry but hasnt stopped them coming in, i dont care, i got nothing better to do
@@deniseeulert2503 had a lady when i worked at Winn Dixe that would always grab a thing of grapes (sold by weight) and eat almost all of them before checkout then buy them for stem + scraps prices. one of our managers gave the cashiers an average price for the bags and told to make sure it rang up around that if we see her doing it. I think it took her about a month to notice because at that point she stopped coming back.
Many years ago I worked in a card and gift store. I'm sure I ran into many Karens, but the one that sticks out in my mind is the Kevin that came in one day. He bought a gift and as I was wrapping it for him, he asked me out. Upon turning him down nicely ,he shouts," But, I'm a doctor!". To which I said, "And I'm still happily married!". I don't believe he ever returned back to the store.
My mother would steal my candy and cookies all the time growing up. As she was abusive as well, if I dared to protest she would scream at me for bringing the item into the house, forcing her to eat an entire box of cookies, and ruining her diet. On to the temporary solution. My mother hated mint for (reasons). It actually made her nauseous (she was probably exaggerating on that point). When I was ten-ish it occurred to me that if I ate Junior Mints she wouldn't take them. For five years I ate no candy but Junior Mints. At that point her desire to take my stuff overcame her dislike of mint and she started eating them. So I started eating other candies and became practiced in hiding them.
While my friends/family were nice about things I think half the reason mint candies/ice cream became my favorites were because no one else I knew liked them so i never lost them to random grazers.
Story 1: NTA, Randy was in the wrong. It's not like spending 45 minutes on the crapper will kill him. Story 3: The Ambulance can wait. Hey HB, someone on that ambulance could be dead if they don't get to the hospital.
When I was a kid my mom called the local grocery store and as long as I had a signed note from my parent, I could buy cigarettes. My mom didn't smoke, but her friend who was visiting us did. So I got sent to the store to pick up cigarettes. This was in the 70's.
I remember reading a story were a jack**s parked were he was not allowed and when paramedics asked he told them to buzz off. I loved what they did and it should be law everywhere the firetruck pushed his cars out of the way. That should be law everywhere you block a first responders your car will be pushed out of the way no matter the damage it causes to your vehicle
Blocked Ambulance Story: If this happened in Canada or the USA, I'm actually surprised that 2 things didn't happen. 1) The Police weren't called to Ticket and Tow the offending car (It's Illegal to block in an Emergency Vehicle ESPECIALLY during a call) and Criminally Charge the Owner with Impeding an Emergency Vehicle, Interfering with the Duties of Emergency Personnel, Criminal Negligence and (assuming the Student is a Minor) Child Endangerment. 2) The Ambulance didn't just shove the car out of the way (they have the Legal Right to smash vehicles that are impeding them in the course of their duties out of the way and most are built with reinforced bumpers to do just that) and The vehicle's Owner CAN'T Sue them for the cost of the Repairs...in fact, the vehicles Owner is LEGALLY required to pay for ALL damaged caused to the Emergency Vehicle when it shoved your car out of it's way...
I recall in the early 60s, my dad sending me to the store for his smokes. In that era, they could have been my own purchase and nobody questioned it ever.
I worked at a well-known retail store whose first name was 2 initials. I was working in the women's and petites department at the time. Some lady marched up to my counter with a white dress and slammed it down on the counter. This woman had several bracelets and rings that had protrusions everywhere on them. She proceeded to tell me that the skirt of the dress had many snags on it. I told her you have a lot of jewelry on your hands that may very well have snagged it. She proceeded to drag her arm and hand across the fabric causing many many snags just to prove that she did not cause the extensive damage. She insisted that she got the full refund, even though she bought the dress at discount. I protested, but the store manager came in and gave her the entire refund. That is why a lot of those stores have gone out of business. Too liberal of a return policy.
The check/cigarette thing reminded of being 6 yrs old back in the 70s. My mom would hand me a dollar bill and a note with her brand of cigarettes written on it. She would then send me to the corner store (about 3 blocks away) and tell me to spend the change on "whatever you want." It was a whole quarter! I would get Mom's cigarettes, a bottle of Coke, a bag of chips or a chocolate bar, and candy sold by weight - and the bag was about the size of today's paper lunch bags, 3/4 filled with candy. Now you have to be 18 to buy smokes (which are now around the $18 mark here - I don't smoke but my brother did say they were around $18), no one would send their 6 yr old walking 3 blocks alone for ANYTHING, and it would cost at least $20 for that amount of "junk food" because the only place to buy candy "by the pound" is specialty stores and no longer "cheap". As for the roommate? Yeah. Been there. I started keeping my groceries in my car because my roommate would eat all my food while not touching her own until all of mine was gone. I kept my car keys on a lanyard around my neck because I knew she would take my keys and take the food. I worked as a cook at a restaurant and ate most of my meals there so it was mostly "instant" stuff for my days off/snacking - and she would call me at work and ask me to bring home meals for her - things like "burgers and fries and a slice of pie" or "3 piece chicken meal" etc. One time she even asked for the steak special. I would always say "Nope. I didn't make it to the bank so I have no money" (pre-debit card days) when I did have cash - but I knew she would not reimburse me. Then one day, I got tired of having to store my food in my car when I HAD a kitchen. So I made sure every single thing I purchased contained onions and mushrooms - which she had mild allergies to. (according to her she would only break out in a mild rash but honestly, I watched her remove onions from her burger, which I knew contained chopped mushrooms and she never broke out so I think it was "I don't like onions and mushrooms".) Funny how my food never went missing after that. Mushroom raman noodles and mushroom and onion soups to the rescue!
when I was little I liked to bake cookies but my brother would always eat half of them immediately and I wanted him to stop. so one time I baked cookies I took a ball of dough and hallowed it out and filled it with baking soda and salt before closing it up. I made sure my brother ate that cookie first and he never ate my cookies again.
My mother used to make biscuits/cookies for me. During my growth spurt, I could (and sometimes did) polish off the entire batch in one go. It never "spoiled my dinner" because by that time, I was hungry again. My mother quickly realised this and didn't bother me about it, although she _was_ rather disappointed when she went to get a cookie for herself only an hour or two after putting them in the tin and found it was empty... 🤣 Me: "Well, I was hungry!" 😂
My oldest brother kept taking my brownies that I had made for a catering event, well one day I made the best batch of brownies ever with one exception I put some chocolate flavored ex-lax in the mix, and my brother once again took them home with him, after downing several of them he spent the next 4 or 5 hours on the toilet as those brownies worked their way through his system. Funny thing he never touched my brownies again.
That happened to my baby sister. But my mom was there. Just imagine your worst nightmare, that doesn’t come close to what my mom did. Let’s just say that my mom kept full lock of hair and some teeth. As her trophy that day. My mom is scary, when you mess with her cubs.
Story 1: I worked many a Job where people had to share refrigerators. And I have had my lunch disappear more then a few times. I have to admit... nothing breaks a person's morale like working a hard day, looking forward to those delicious leftovers of a wonderful meal the precious day... only to have your heart and soul shattered by the fact someone felt they were so entitled that they took your food and left you trudge through the rest of the day hungry... while OPs situation is slightly different, the Point yet remains.... NOT the AH...he was 10,000% in the right for a little payback and it was a damn good way to prove who the thief was.
Story 4: In the Fire Department I worked for (retired) a second ambulance would have been called to transport the patient. We would also call for a police office to deal with the car and driver. Story 5: I believe what the woman was do would be fraud. She intentionally damaging items to get a discount. NAL but that seems illegal to me.
Ambulance 🚑 story, I used to work night security at an apartment complex many moons ago and this 1 guy kept parking his car in a no parking zone it was labeled as such so that fire trucks could make their way n2 complex, the complex was having issues with its fire alarm system, but the deposit still had 2 respond just in case, now this guy was really stubborn he'd had his car towed and ticketed on multiple occasions, 1 night he was parked in the zone and the alarm went off the firetruck just basically forced its way in by crunching his car between the truck and the 12 inch thick steel/cement post 📫 in the zone then they sent him a bill for the damage to the fire truck...lol. yes the car was basically bent n2 a horseshoe, no damage to post other than painting:)
When I was living with Roommates I had my own Minifridge and Mini Freezer in my closet. Kept all my food in my closet on shelves and in drawers and just kept my clothes in a chest of drawers instead. 2 years and we never had even the slightest difficulty with eachother over food because I kept mine separate. I knew that was the most common problem between roommates and just cut it off at the pass to keep the peace. It was so nice!
It also helped that I had a Microwave on top of the Minifridge and Minifreezer so I could do some late night snacking without leaving my room and making noise in the kitchen which was a godsend since I was often up till 3am or pulling all-nighters and needing food to keep going.
I absolutely love your stories!!! Your a great narrator! What’s really great is the hear one of your early stories ( 2 years ago+) and then now! You’ve learned and earned your craft so well! Well done
A friend of mine got a PS5 a few months back having stood in line outside to the local game store. By the time they got let into the store, the employee told them that the customer before them was buying the last one. NBD, can just as easily browse the rest of the store. Turns out, the customer on question was being a jerk to employees and to my friend (who literally congratulated him for getting one), so at some point, he walks off without, and the guy at the counter asks "do you want the PS5?" and so my friend got one instead of some jerk.
I was an 80's kid. I got sent out for cigarettes at least twice a week. Sometimes a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread too. I was probably around 7-10 ( I was my dad's gofer for years). The candy was awesome. You had the 1¢ tier, the 5¢ and the 10¢. The candy cigarettes were kinda fun for that first white puff, but it was just a mint stick after. Being a kid in the 80's was so different from what it's like now. The "be home before dark" rule was in full effect and as long as you made it home, parents didn't really care where you went. We were always outside playing, no devices. I didn't get my first cell phone until I was in my 20's. Different times, but I liked them.
Yes! I used to buy my parents smokes from the local deli and it was always worth it when I got to spend the change on lollies. I was so disappointed when the laws changed and we weren’t allowed to anymore 😢
Story 3: Why didn't OP ask the woman for her keys. I would have said, "I can see your meeting is important, so let me move your car and I'll put it in your space after the ambulance leaves." Everyone still knows that woman is a Karen, and you will have a reputation of a practical problem solver. And the kid gets to the hospital. Everyone wins!
Even if the food/drink was something life threatening to R, OP still wouldn't be the AH. It had OP's name on it, R should not be touching it. R is the only one at fault in that situation.
Thank you Darkfluff. While recovering from Covid, I was diagnosed yesterday, this is exactly what I needed between naps. Thank you for adding a bit of sunshine when I needed it most.
My brother and I in the 80s would go up the street to a little convenience store to get our grandma's cigarette's for her. Our treat was to get a huge dill pickle from a barrel. Good times.
"How dare you switch the milk on me!" That wouldn't be a problem if you weren't stealing it in the first place dude. Wasn't meant for you in the first place lol. What type of milk OP uses should be irrelevant because R shouldn't be taking it in the first place.
Story 1: The usual disclaimer: If you are going to pull a trick like this: 1) Don't lie about what it is and offer it. 2) Make sure it is something you could reasonably eat your self. (IE no soap, etc)
I can kinda relate to the first story. My step dad eats everything he see in the fridge. One day I left my sandwich and was saving for later Case I went to the movies when I got back form the movies. My step dad ate it cause he thought I was done with It. I didn't get to eat it the sandwich. Later on for my birthday my dad got me a mini fridge. So when I have leftover I leave it in my mini fridge.
Ah, the good old days! In the mid-1950s, when I got my quarter allowance, I would joyfully walk the three blocks to the local grocery store and purchase a comic book, two candy bars (Baby Ruth, 3 Musketeers, or Hershey’s Chocolate), and five penny candies (jaw breakers, gumballs, or any of a couple dozen others)! Heaven!
I remember as a kid back in the 70's I'd buy dad a pack of cigar-ettes (small cigars) for my dad for fathers day for a few years being young you didn't understand that smokers had their references. it didn't mean a thing back then for a young kid to be in a tobacco shop buying products as it was assumed it was for their parents. different time. (same era where a 5 year was allowed to drink coffee) lol. Thanks for all the stories Fluff and Stevo.
Any question, bring up the store's CCTV probably caught the interaction. Especially since they were near the registers when it happened. I love the INSTANT justice in the story.
You know what's funny about the PS5 thing is that I got one from Walmart online right after it came out. Every time I went to Walmart before Christmas I checked to see if they had any. Every time I went I got one. 6 in total. Each one I sold to my friends for their kids for $15 more than what I paid for it $535 so $550. I had 5 super happy fathers/families and $75 more than what I had spent on them. Honestly I didn't see what the big deal was. Yes there were kids who were waiting in electronics for 18 hours or more but when I showed up there was only like 3 or 4 people in line and Walmart was getting shipments of 10-20 three times per week. Also those shipments arrived around 10:00am so that's when I went. One time an EMT, and three Fire Fighters were behind me and there was only 4 left so I stepped aside and let the last Fire Fighter get it. I told him not to worry since I was only there to help friends and had already gotten 4 at that point. I felt good my friends didn't have to buy from scalpers and $15 was a relief to them and a case of beer for my troubles. One father tried giving me an extra $100 and I wouldn't take it because as long as the stress was gone and everyone was happy on Christmas that was all I needed.
story 3: to quote GLaDOS: "well done here come the test results: you are a horrible person. that's what it says, a horrible person. we weren't even testing for that."
Story 5: Sounds like stores need to stop selling broken items to avoid situations like this. “Oh I’m sorry ma’am we can’t sell you this it’s a faulty product”!
First story: OP could always get an apartment sized fridge and keep it in his own room -- with a chain and lock on it. And a lock on the room. Randy got what he had coming, the thief.
In the late 60s my dad would send us to the local liquor store with money and a note on the back of his business card “pack of Salems please”. Different times.
OMG story #2 reminded me of a similar incident that happened decades ago the indignant mother tossed the defiant child off the ride unfortunately he stumbled into the path of an oncoming car the incident caused stores statewide to remove such attractions
If I ever switched my own food, I would definitely at least put a little sign like a sticker on the bottle saying whole milk or something that way I would be free of liability
What liability, if it is my milk and each roommate buys their own food then their is no liability because no one is suppose to touch your food and your not supposed to touch theirs
@@gary1143 I hear you but I'm just saying, at least if something becomes of it you can say Hey I tried to warn them and they shouldn't have touched it in the 1st place
I have delt with a Karen once that I can think of when I was 19/ 21. I worked at a Wendy's in Nags head north Carolina, a beach area making summer traffic a nightmare. So a woman comes back in to the store after she had done drove thru. I being in the dining room greeted her with a as mall smile and a welcome to Wendy's etc. She was pissed. And she said this ". No it's not a good day,. I was half an hour down the road as ND my fries were cold. I had to come back I want hot fries". Okay #1. I watched the kitchen staff drop new fries like every 3 minutes. #2. So you basically took an hour out of your time to complain about fries I know were hot. Repeat that you an hour ( probably more it was around July 4 the ) to complain about fries. That you waited to eat. So while I'm standing there asking her what I can do to make amends my boss' walks up to me ( sigh great). I told him the story. And then he gets the same look on his face. As I had on mine. I asked him if I'm as should grab new fries. He looks at me like I had to heads. Karen said that won't do. I told I'll make sure myself there very fresh. She said fine. Thankfully new ones just came out. I explained the situation. Not only did i give a bigger size. But two apple pies as an. I'm sorry. She took them, told me and my boss we should be ashamed of ourselves and stomped. Not only did I get a raise for how I handled the crazy winch but was asked to put my name in the hat for a manger trainee position. That woman bat bat sh* t crazy
I really can't stand it when people (mainly my brother) eats my food without asking first - especially if I had it pre-portioned so I can monitor my caloric intake. One time, my brother ate about four pieces of my skillet gnocchi, and tried to deny it when I confronted him. He tried to claim it was my fault later on because I didn't write my name on the ocntainer - even though we lived with our parents at the time and could've asked them (I was in an online class when he ate the gnocchi).
I had a friend who worked for an ambulance service run by the municipal fire department, and their official policy was that if the ambulance was blocked in during a call that required immediate patient transport to a hospital, then they were to immediately call for police and a backup ambulance, then they could attempt to remove the vehicle by any means necessary, including, but not limited to, breaking windows and releasing the E brake to roll out of the way, or by pushing the vehicle out of the way with a fire truck, or with the ambulance if no truck was on hand.
I used to work at a small catalog store. We had the store brand appliances in stock at the location so that the customer could see them & buy them off the floor. I was working the front counter one day when I noticed this family outside looking in the front window. The parents were pointing out a particular washer, dryer, & refrigerator & talking very animated to the 4 kids. When they finally came in, the parents looked around, but the kids went right to the appliances the parents had pointed out. I signaled my boss & another man who worked there to watch the kids. Those little brats were caught scratching & denting the 3 appliances, causing significant damage to each of them but only to the sides, not the front. We didn't act on this at first bc the boss wanted to see where it was going to go. The parents finally came to the counter & asked about getting discounts for the damaged appliances. The boss whispered to me to call police while he kept the parents busy. Cops showed up & they were given the choice to buy at full price or be arrested & pay for the damages anyway. Mind you, this was back in 1987. Cameras were a new thing in little towns like ours, but we had them & they caught it all. They decided it would be best to just buy the 3 appliances at full price right there. The best thing, though, was my husband & I did independent deliveries & we charged them double bc they were such crap people. Win-win situation. 😂
Kids buying smokes in the 1980s is nothing. My mom told how she and her sisters would pull a small wagon around the block to a saloon and bring her father back a bucket full of beer! 🍺 (For a nickel - it was the 1940s.)
3:36 "let me know what you would do in this situation" So back in 2010-2011, I was a teen who had just gotten off the streets and into a homeless shelter. I was eating off food stamps, working minimum wage at a strip mall, and generally just trying to survive another day. I allowed myself 1 indulgence purchase, whenever my stamps got renewed, one small bit of something in my life to help me feel like I was still human. A small jar of Nutella. Now, there were a few other people at this shelter, and one day I came back after work and I noticed my brand new small jar of Nutella had a big scoop taken out of it. To note; I was the youngest and newest person by far at this shelter, and I didn't want to start anything big over it... and I wasn't heartless, maybe someone just didn't have anything to eat that day and needed something, idk, I just let it slide and went to bed. Next morning I went to my part of the pantry and I found my jar half empty. I immediatly knew what I was going to do, consequences be damned. I got ready and left for work. After work I picked up a new jar and went back to the shelter. I kept the new jar in my rucksack, and didn't let anyone else know about it. Just before bed, I went to the kitchen, grabbed the nastiest, rustiest, sharpest knife I could find and taped it to the back of my old jar and stuck it back in the pantry, then I went to bed. Next morning I found my stabbsy-jar lying on its side, the knife in the sink, and one of the other guys had a strap of gauze wrapped around his hand. He was ~late 20's early 30's~, never looked at, spoke to, or made eye contact with me after that, amd no more food went missing for the rest of the 6 months I was there. Edit; I used "Now" to start a sentance twice in a row. This has been corrected.
Story 1: Even if the guy DID have a severe allergy and ended up in the hospital, the fact that he gaslit OP, lied to OP and kept stealing OPs food, I wouldn't feel bad for the guy and OP would NOT be the AH. Why? Because the dude shouldn't have been stealing OPs food in the first place. Moral of the story, if you're with a roommate and you guys agree to not eat each other's food, don't steal their food. Because you never know, it could have something you have an allergy or intolerance to.
Story 1: as someone with Lactose intolerance, I fully approve of what they did.
I agreed on that. Also I can't handle a lot of dairy due to no gallbladder so I'm essentially drinking lactose free milk which there isn't much difference on taste.
The ones calling him an asshole for it need a good verbal smacking lol
You'd think that if someone has an allergy or is lactose intolerant they wouldn't WANT to eat someone else's food given the risk it might contain something that'll send them to the hospital/bathroom for hours.
Op in the first story was a total legend
Same here. He had it coming.
"Can't you see I'm in an important meeting? The ambulance can wait!" Umm... The very nature of an ambulance is that it CAN'T wait crazylady!!!
As a firefighter, we have plenty of equipment to move vehicles and have in the past.
Story 1:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you just take someone’s stuff after being told NOT to…you get what you deserve. Besides it’s not like you put something in there that would kill him.
I’m allergic to Ginger and if someone put Ginger in my food I would die, but I wouldn’t blame another person for having Ginger in their own food if I stupidly ate it.
Man that stinks. Ginger settles my stomach.
@@heididietrich9800 yea I love the way it tastes. The worst part is whenever I’m at a party with punch. I have to ask what it’s made with, and I get the comments like “You can’t be allergic to ginger because it helps calm your stomach aches”. That doesn’t change the fact I’ll be puking all night and break out in a head to toe rash…but God bless my wife though. She always checks the ingredients before she cooks something new at home. Like a frozen (mostly) Chinese dish typically has ginger and PF Chang’s has a lot of ginger in their sauces. But I know what not to eat and what I can
The ambulance story. If I was the OP in the story I would have told the head witch "so if the student dies it would be YOUR fault".
In my country they would just back up and remove the car by force or have it towed pretty much immidietly and then load the patient up and drive to the nearest hospital.
OP should have called the police and a tow truck as well so Head Bitch could have some wonderful Karma.
"Good to know I'll let the parents know to sue YOU, and I'll be their witness.
@@rachel-in-the-208 they could have already called the tow truck, but it would not show up instantly
She would have just said: "Oh, he'll be fine if he waits a bit, I'm sure it's not even that serious."
Regarding the last story, I remember a summer job in the 80s. The store manager (wife of the absentee golfer owner) took no crap from customers. We were told that if a customer tried to pull some scam or other we were authorized to say, "I'm sorry, that item is no longer for sale," and take it away. There was no haggling and there is, in fact, no contract until money changes hands so just because some item is on the shelves did not mean we were under any obligation to sell it. An offer to sell does not equal an obligation to sell, especially to a-holes. She could be hard but sure as hell had our backs when dealing with entiteled customers.
Story 4: In the UK if you refuse to get out of any emergency service vehicle they have full rights to plough your vehicle out of its way and you will be facing the damage charges as well as an arrest for obstructing the emergency services which could leave you with an automatic addition of nine points on your licence meaning you will be going in front of a judge in court to explain why you felt it necessary to delay them…. My advice, just get out their f*****g way! 😁
I work as an EMT in the states and they need to allow this here!
In my area there's a similar policy but usually they either call Fire or police fire because they have the equipment to just pull it out of the way police have their pit bars, simply due to most ambulances in my area from the more modern to the relics that are still roving can't really take the abuse of moving a another vehicle out of the way
@@WPUpioneer I agree someone’s life is on the line there’s no time for politeness, if the aholes don’t want to move f them
Unfortunately the ambulances in the UK can't move a vehicle out of the way but they can side swipe you. Strangely people are getting more entitled in the UK and have started complaining about ambulances blocking their driveway and refusing to move their vehicles pit of emergency vehicles way etc.. The police would make them move though. I even saw on tv a van driver here in the UK refuse to reverse up to let an ambulance through until he saw he was being filmed by a tv crew, the man in the ambulance was having a massive heart attack and sadly died a few days later. The man's sons were pleading with the van driver to move and he wouldn't until he saw he was on film. My Dad's friend was in a big lorry trying to get to a company to deliver their items when he came across a familiar site. A line of illegally parked cars blocking the entire road in, so he called the police. The police had repeatedly warned people action would be taken if they continued parking there via signs and warnings on the cars. So he got to sit back and watch police officers use their batons to smash every drivers window so they could release the handbrake and push the cars clear. Nobody parked there again!! Only an emergency vehicle has the right to block a road. Can you imagine the owners faces when they got back to their car and find the police smashed it so you can't claim for it either!?!
@@shendisackett They are allowed to break traffic laws in emergency situations and drivers are supposed to get out of their way.. No one has the right to block an Ambulance. I didn’t say they could try and claim insurance but no company will take your side if it’s proven you were preventing the emergency services
Story 2: If there is a silver lining to the situation, OP pretty much got the last laugh since karma came in the form of no quarters. But seriously, you pretty much can't pluck someone out of one of those machines without any consequence.
⁰⁰⁰0
Hah! Suck on that Karen
A woman tried that crap on my daughter when she was only 3 years old. It was at the Mall and the ride was a small space shuttle that barely moved. I put her on it, popped in the $.50 and it started. I walked over to get a drink from the machine literally 4 ft away. This evil harpy tried to pick up my kid and put her son on the ride. My daughter hates strangers that try to just pick her up (family she’s never met mostly). Thank goodness she put her son down before reaching of for my little angel, who started screaming when she got too close to her. She actually said “Get off this ride you little b-tch!” I didn’t wait to ask, I just shoved her as hard as I could and screamed “DON’T YOU EVER TRY TO TOUCH MY DAUGHTER! NEXT TIME YOU WON’T LIVE THRU IT!!” Cops came running and put ME in handcuffs thanks to Ultra C-NT saying I was molesting kids…But once they reviews the cameras I was let go. I guarantee she never touched another kid without thinking of the 15ft she went flying across the Mall.
I hope she loses custody of her kid.
SEE? THIS. THIS IS WHY I DON'T TRUST WOMEN! I WAS AT A HALLOWEEN PARTY AND A WOMAN HAD HER BOOBS OUT WITH HER NIPPLES DECORATED. AND THIS WOMAN PULLS THIS OFF AND GETS AWAY WITH TOUCHING YOUR DAUGHTER? THE NEXT TIME MY MOM LAYS A HAND ON ME, WILL BE THE LAST TIME SHE HAS HANDS.
Story 1: The guy is a Hypocrite, he expects that people don't steal his' food, but he is ok with stealing other people's food and blame someone for buying food that disagrees with his' body,

@@JediMaster362 LETS GO DIARRHEA
1st story: the friends of yours who defended randy are food stealers too.
The last story reminded me of the time I worked at 🎯. A married couple would come in and raid the clearance racks. She found a cute baby outfit on the 90% off rack which is pretty rare to find. They would raid the clearance racks then remove all the clearance tags and resell them at their business. And who she got mad at me because I refused to give her another 5% off, because it was missing the small bag that had a button and thread in it. The other outfits that weren't on clearance had these little bags with buttons and thread that matched the fabric. But this one outfit didn't. She got so mad she grabbed all the clothes that were in the cart and threw them on the floor and stepped on them and walked out of the store. She was trespassed from the only 🎯 in town
Take milk/food once? Np
Twice? Np
After being confronted and denying? Game's on.
I enjoy Ghost Peppers.
Third story: We should make ambulances with the power of firetrucks, if things like this happens again then the ambulance can whreck the car of the a**hole.
Afaik, it'd be legal in most places to break into that blocking car to loosen the parking brake/put it in neutral so that it can be pushed out of the way.
I think some ambulances where I'm from have bull bars
that karen should have had her license revoked for blocking the ambulance and charged with impeding Emergency Services, because if something happened to the kid, then the charges would get upgraded
that karen should have had her license revoked for blocking the ambulance and charged with impeding Emergency Services, because if something happened to the kid, then the charges would get upgraded
Yes. Absolutely.
Back in the '80s, I did exactly the same thing. Mom would send me to the store with a $10 bill, and I would buy her cigarettes, even as young as seven to eight years old. Back in those days, that wasn't unusual.
Back then, whenever a kid come in to buy cigarettes, alcohol or any «adult» stuff, everyone and their neighbours would just assume that it's for the parents.
Yeah I remember going to the local convenience store 2 blocks away at that age to buy cigarettes for my dad. Everyone that worked at the store knew my whole family
I used to buy smokes for my mother in the 70s. She always wrote a note for the clerk.
I remember an old Donald Duck cartoon where his nephews buy him some cigars as a birthday present and nobody thinks twice about kids buying them. (Then Donald mistakenly believes that they've bought them so they can try smoking them and decides to "teach them a lesson" by making them smoke all of them in one sitting. Only when they're on the last cigars does he discover the card in the cigar box: "Happy Birthday Uncle Donald" ... Ooooh, boy!)
When I was in high school, shortly after getting my license, I’d do the grocery shopping. Dad (or Mom once she moved up to where we were living) would write out a check and sign it. I’d do the shopping, show my DL with the matching address and that was that. Sometimes I’d add something that wasn’t on the list as a “fee” for doing the shopping, but generally it was something I needed. Once I added feminine hygiene stuff that was rather expensive (for a 16-17yo) and when I got home, I defended my purchase. My dad looked at me and said, “If you needed it, you needed it. Why are you sorry for adding it?” Must have been the Girl Scout in me.
When I was 17, I got a job at a clothing store called County Seat that was in a strip mall in the neighborhood. We regularly had teens come in with their parents’ credit cards or signed checks to get their basic “school uniform” pieces, usually navy blue, maroon or tan corduroys and navy crew neck sweaters for the local Catholic schools. Often they were kids that came regularly *with* their parents, so we knew them. Sometimes the parent would call the store ahead and let us know what was allowed or not on the purchase. (“No, Susie may *not* add Gloria Vanderbilt jeans to the purchase. Tell her I said so.”). Then when they’d sign the credit card triplicate form, we’d have them add Son or Daughter in parentheses. Since the store kept a copy, we’d have the record.
Story 1: You really wanna put someone off of eating your food? Lace it with straight peppermint extract, it will 100% ruin whatever is left but the thief learns a valuable lesson.
Story 2: My grandpa used to work as a firefighter and would be the one in charge of most emergency scenes. He would of had the cops ram the car out of the way. (He once screamed at the head of Secret Service cause they needed to fly a helicopter over the WH cause a child victim was going to die if they went around) He 100% would of destroyed that woman's car.
The 80s where you buy cigarettes from a vending machine with no ID.
And the taxes weren't like 90% of the price... We don't smoke, but mothersnail did. Took the proverbial 'elephant standing on the chest' to convince to ditch the coffin nails. Poor mum... now she's pretty much just running out the clock hoping for a 'clean kill' from the Great Snail...
I remember in 90's as a kid I was buying cigarettes for my grandpa. He was writing on paper what he wanted, I was giving it to the clerk with a money and he was giving me cigarettes :)
I remember seeing them before when I was little. They don't do that anymore.
My dad used to send us to the store with a hand written note. They never said we couldn't get them. This was late 80's early 90's
My aunt used to give me her empty pack of cigarettes to go to the store to get the same ones. It was the mid 70s and I was 6. Good times.
Story 1: Back in the day, I used to have issues with everyone drinking my KoolAid (seriously), because I would sweeten it with Equal, and not leave me with any. So I would purposely make it unsweetened. After that, no one would touch it.
I don't have to worry about someone taking my chocolate. I buy the really hard, unsweetened 'Bakers Chocolate' and watch people gag as I break off a chunk and let it slowly dissolve in my mouth. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

First story.... That guy had it totally coming. As someone with issues on certain food... I sure as heck wouldnt take without permission someone elses stuff! If you steal then I say long as it doesnt kill them or such go for the revenge.
I often walked over a half mile to a small Mom and Pop type store to buy a carton of cigarettes for my mother while I was a pre teen. I remember how mad she got at that store when a carton hit $2. This was in the early '60s.
My mom still smokes a carton. The closest place that actually has them for relatively cheap is the dollar store: $40 a carton

I call lost prevention every time Karen comes in with a broken piece of merchandise.
As someone who also got his PS5 less than a year ago, I feel for the guy who had to deal with a Karen-like individual.
Story 2 : If a stranger did that to my kid (like touching and stuff, and technically stealing aswell and looking like he/she was kidnapping my kid) would be grabbed by the hair untill they fall and then a quick stomp with my boot on their face. Then call the cops for : assault on minor, theft and possible kidnapping. and hold him/ her at g*npoint! No doubt. EDIT : Story 3 that's pretty much attempted murder, obstruction of an ambo etc.... She needs to be removed with any position that involves kids.
Her position involves adults not kids
None the less she absolutely needs to go to prison

I flew up the road, yelled out the window for him to STOP, well he got down on the side of the road.. by the curb.. so I pinned his ass up against the curb and the tire of my truck! His foot was stuck.. I jumped out of my truck and grabbed the bike.. threw it in the bed of my truck.. all while having the cops on the phone, giving description!*
*There's a bike trail across the street from my house.. and all FIVE of the b@$tards took off up towards Mansfield.. well, the cops busted all 5 of them!! 3 of them were 18 & older.. and were charged with B&E as they had stolen bikes out of the garages of my neighbors! So needless to say, they all were charged and I never did see them again! But.. my son got his bike back.. then later my son said.. "Man Mom, you were bad ass.. and I've never seen you THAT MAD"!

When I was a kid (around 5 I think), in the 80's, an entitled mother tried to do the exact same thing to me as one did to OP. She tried to take me off a ride that my mother had paid for, my Mum was paying to groceries and the ride was next to the till. She wanted to put her kid on the ride for free. Well me being an evil smart little sh*t, just pointed at the entitled woman and screamed "STRANGER" very slowly. Well the entitled woman got scared, put me down and ran off with everyone in the shop shouting back after her. I got a free ride 😈🤣
Stranger Danger was ingrained in every kids head in the 80's. The um...smart(?)...ones knew how to use it to their advantage 😂
I have multiple stories from my time as a first responder about moving cars out of the way of ambulances, fire hydrants, and fir trucks. We break the glass and the shifter (if automatic) and just shove it and let it roll down a hill, or into a tree. Very satisfying I must say….
So, did you get many of the owners come at you shrieking about their precious car, later?
@@melkiorwiseman5234 oh yea. That’s what makes it so funny. The madder they get the more we’d laugh because it was their own fault.
@@cherokeeirishman9612 That sounds like fuel for a few "Entitled People" stories.

Lady in story 2 is a GenX'er probably. We literally did those things. My mother was Merit's or Cambridge. She'd hand me a $5 bill and I'd get her like 4 packs and the change was mine (I was luckier... was more like 75¢ to a dollar. Smokes were like 75-90¢. This went on for awhile until the store said "We kinda need a note in the future." She started sending notes. "Yeah, we need to talk to her..." so they called the house. Finally it became "We can't sell you these anymore." LOL! That was circa 1985ish
Fifth story: How stupid that Karen thinks the employes are to not notice she is breaking the merchandise.
There is a saying in other communities, that the issue resides in how some people are never held accountable for their actions: they use their looks, prestige, or children to bend the will of the people to their favour.
This Karen seems a prime example of that, as it took the whole store paying attention to the repercussions for her to actually understand what she did wrong. Anything short of that would be brushed off with her excuses and forgotten later.
One of the issues with really dumb people, is that they tend to believe and assume that everyone else is at least as dumb as they are, if not dumber.
That karen who blocked an ambulance, if her colleagues didn't rat on on her and get her fired, then they're just as bad.
How stupid is the store for not charging for the damages?
@@wessexdruid7598 it is an issue of legality. In order to charge her, a company needs to have 1. Prior knowledge of wrongdoing, 2. Must have a stolen or broken object, and 3. Definite proof that she was willing to abandon it.
With the necklace, they never seen her break it, so must assume her innocence (for legal reasons).
With the sweater, they had OP to act as witness, but the sweater hadn't actually broke yet. Had the seams torn, then they had right to legal discourse.
8:39 “The Ambulance can wait!”? I would take these words to mean that she WANTS to be sued for her intentional negligence.
Story 4: Karen using police to robbed someone is stupid because police are tired of idiots using swating tactics to get what they want.
Where was the charge of reckless driving for tailgating? The cop should have witnessed that as well.
Yeah. And it's stupidity like this that is both A making it harder for emergencies to be taken seriously and B, taking valuable police resources away from ACTUAL crimes.
This is why we need to make it a federal offense with LIFE IN PRISON for misusing 911
Fluff I am older than the person in the second story a few years because I turned 10 in 1980, but I remember being sent to the store for both beer and cigarettes in the USA from the age of maybe 7 to about 12. Granted the store was almost directly across the street from my parents house and we lived in a very rural area.
I would put ghost pepper flakes on something that was particularly enticing to Randy. And then mark every subsequent container "caution:hot" after the first time. But he would absolutely have to learn his lesson first.
That last Karen can be banned for destruction of property because it's store property untill she buys it... it's always best to have cctv all over the place for "theft prevention" All you have to do is put the cameras up and put a sign at the door to say there are cameras around... Then these Karens would never try that again and if they still do - they'd pay extra
As someone who had their session of *Space Duel* ruined thanks to an entitled kid *touching the controls* , I can sympathize with the OP in the second story. -_-
What made it worse was when I told my own mother about it (I was 12 at the time), she confronted the EM about her son's actions.
Because the EM claimed that she didn't have anymore quarters, both jerks got away with it. 9_9
With the number of emulators available, I may give the game another try someday. Plus, who knows, maybe the 'sweet spot' that I discovered will net me a high score/world record? ^_^
One time at work someone kept stealing my lunch so I prepared an especially delicious looking pasta dish to bring as my lunch. But I laced it with ghost pepper oil. I put alot in it. Placed my lunch in the fridge and waited. Before lunch at some point we were told that one of the employees (the lunch thief) was being sent to the hospital for having some sort of "severe allergic reaction". I never had an issue with my lunch being stolen after that incident lmfao
Lunch thief was totally okay, he had no allergic reaction, just a normal bodily response to consuming an outrageous amount of capsaicin lol he never apologized but he avoided me and never made eye contact again.
I remember the bubble gum “cigarettes”. There also used to be bubble gum “chew” that mimicked chewing tobacco.
Those were different times
I remember those too! 😃😂 I would actually mimic an adult who was smoking. 😂
Big League Chew
@@suzannepottsshorts Yes! 😃 Thank you. ❤️
@@suzannepottsshorts You can still find Big League Chew these days, but it is marketed a bit differently.
First sorry Randy is lucky to not have me for a roommate I think I would have added some additional things to the regular milk. Nothing that'd kill him but something to either disgust or make the run worse.
Like medications that cause diarrhea
There is never a chance that I miss one episode from you Fluff. You have been my first choice for nearly 2 years.
Last story, customer is 100% damaging goods to get discounts, shes the kind of customer who'd eat half of a pack of grapes and then pay for the remaining half
Many years ago I was a baker at Wal-Mart and there was a man, very very big, who would reach into thebaked goods shelf and move the individual pecan rolls around, and actually pick up the nuts and eat them. He would buy a dozen donuts but only reach the counter with eight. He denied all this, saying he cou[dn[t eat a single donut at a sitting,(yeah, right) But he Complained when we sent a worker to keep an eye on him. Finally he stopped showing up at our store.
@@deniseeulert2503 i get kids who steal from my work, so we started having me follow them around the store because we cant trust them alone, they started asking why im following them, im autistic so imma be blunt, told them "because you steal, we know you do, and now we cant trust you, you wont stay out of the shop, so you get to be watched and treated like a criminal" they got angry but hasnt stopped them coming in, i dont care, i got nothing better to do
@@deniseeulert2503 had a lady when i worked at Winn Dixe that would always grab a thing of grapes (sold by weight) and eat almost all of them before checkout then buy them for stem + scraps prices. one of our managers gave the cashiers an average price for the bags and told to make sure it rang up around that if we see her doing it. I think it took her about a month to notice because at that point she stopped coming back.
Many years ago I worked in a card and gift store. I'm sure I ran into many Karens, but the one that sticks out in my mind is the Kevin that came in one day. He bought a gift and as I was wrapping it for him, he asked me out. Upon turning him down nicely ,he shouts," But, I'm a doctor!". To which I said, "And I'm still happily married!". I don't believe he ever returned back to the store.
My mother would steal my candy and cookies all the time growing up. As she was abusive as well, if I dared to protest she would scream at me for bringing the item into the house, forcing her to eat an entire box of cookies, and ruining her diet.
On to the temporary solution. My mother hated mint for (reasons). It actually made her nauseous (she was probably exaggerating on that point). When I was ten-ish it occurred to me that if I ate Junior Mints she wouldn't take them. For five years I ate no candy but Junior Mints. At that point her desire to take my stuff overcame her dislike of mint and she started eating them. So I started eating other candies and became practiced in hiding them.
While my friends/family were nice about things I think half the reason mint candies/ice cream became my favorites were because no one else I knew liked them so i never lost them to random grazers.
Story 1: NTA, Randy was in the wrong. It's not like spending 45 minutes on the crapper will kill him.
Story 3: The Ambulance can wait. Hey HB, someone on that ambulance could be dead if they don't get to the hospital.
When I was a kid my mom called the local grocery store and as long as I had a signed note from my parent, I could buy cigarettes. My mom didn't smoke, but her friend who was visiting us did. So I got sent to the store to pick up cigarettes. This was in the 70's.
I remember reading a story were a jack**s parked were he was not allowed and when paramedics asked he told them to buzz off. I loved what they did and it should be law everywhere the firetruck pushed his cars out of the way. That should be law everywhere you block a first responders your car will be pushed out of the way no matter the damage it causes to your vehicle
Randy stealing food is the kind of dude that would break into your home get bit by your dog and suing you
Blocked Ambulance Story: If this happened in Canada or the USA, I'm actually surprised that 2 things didn't happen.
1) The Police weren't called to Ticket and Tow the offending car (It's Illegal to block in an Emergency Vehicle ESPECIALLY during a call) and Criminally Charge the Owner with Impeding an Emergency Vehicle, Interfering with the Duties of Emergency Personnel, Criminal Negligence and (assuming the Student is a Minor) Child Endangerment.
2) The Ambulance didn't just shove the car out of the way (they have the Legal Right to smash vehicles that are impeding them in the course of their duties out of the way and most are built with reinforced bumpers to do just that) and The vehicle's Owner CAN'T Sue them for the cost of the Repairs...in fact, the vehicles Owner is LEGALLY required to pay for ALL damaged caused to the Emergency Vehicle when it shoved your car out of it's way...
I recall in the early 60s, my dad sending me to the store for his smokes. In that era, they could have been my own purchase and nobody questioned it ever.
I worked at a well-known retail store whose first name was 2 initials. I was working in the women's and petites department at the time. Some lady marched up to my counter with a white dress and slammed it down on the counter. This woman had several bracelets and rings that had protrusions everywhere on them. She proceeded to tell me that the skirt of the dress had many snags on it. I told her you have a lot of jewelry on your hands that may very well have snagged it. She proceeded to drag her arm and hand across the fabric causing many many snags just to prove that she did not cause the extensive damage. She insisted that she got the full refund, even though she bought the dress at discount. I protested, but the store manager came in and gave her the entire refund. That is why a lot of those stores have gone out of business. Too liberal of a return policy.
Tj Max?
The check/cigarette thing reminded of being 6 yrs old back in the 70s. My mom would hand me a dollar bill and a note with her brand of cigarettes written on it. She would then send me to the corner store (about 3 blocks away) and tell me to spend the change on "whatever you want." It was a whole quarter! I would get Mom's cigarettes, a bottle of Coke, a bag of chips or a chocolate bar, and candy sold by weight - and the bag was about the size of today's paper lunch bags, 3/4 filled with candy. Now you have to be 18 to buy smokes (which are now around the $18 mark here - I don't smoke but my brother did say they were around $18), no one would send their 6 yr old walking 3 blocks alone for ANYTHING, and it would cost at least $20 for that amount of "junk food" because the only place to buy candy "by the pound" is specialty stores and no longer "cheap". As for the roommate? Yeah. Been there. I started keeping my groceries in my car because my roommate would eat all my food while not touching her own until all of mine was gone. I kept my car keys on a lanyard around my neck because I knew she would take my keys and take the food. I worked as a cook at a restaurant and ate most of my meals there so it was mostly "instant" stuff for my days off/snacking - and she would call me at work and ask me to bring home meals for her - things like "burgers and fries and a slice of pie" or "3 piece chicken meal" etc. One time she even asked for the steak special. I would always say "Nope. I didn't make it to the bank so I have no money" (pre-debit card days) when I did have cash - but I knew she would not reimburse me. Then one day, I got tired of having to store my food in my car when I HAD a kitchen. So I made sure every single thing I purchased contained onions and mushrooms - which she had mild allergies to. (according to her she would only break out in a mild rash but honestly, I watched her remove onions from her burger, which I knew contained chopped mushrooms and she never broke out so I think it was "I don't like onions and mushrooms".) Funny how my food never went missing after that. Mushroom raman noodles and mushroom and onion soups to the rescue!
when I was little I liked to bake cookies but my brother would always eat half of them immediately and I wanted him to stop. so one time I baked cookies I took a ball of dough and hallowed it out and filled it with baking soda and salt before closing it up. I made sure my brother ate that cookie first and he never ate my cookies again.
My mother used to make biscuits/cookies for me. During my growth spurt, I could (and sometimes did) polish off the entire batch in one go. It never "spoiled my dinner" because by that time, I was hungry again. My mother quickly realised this and didn't bother me about it, although she _was_ rather disappointed when she went to get a cookie for herself only an hour or two after putting them in the tin and found it was empty... 🤣 Me: "Well, I was hungry!" 😂
The scariest things of all a few days before Halloween...Karens
Same and I work at a halloween store. Ugh.
they are scary all year round .. there is no need for them to wear costume
My oldest brother kept taking my brownies that I had made for a catering event, well one day I made the best batch of brownies ever with one exception I put some chocolate flavored ex-lax in the mix, and my brother once again took them home with him, after downing several of them he spent the next 4 or 5 hours on the toilet as those brownies worked their way through his system. Funny thing he never touched my brownies again.
That happened to my baby sister. But my mom was there. Just imagine your worst nightmare, that doesn’t come close to what my mom did. Let’s just say that my mom kept full lock of hair and some teeth. As her trophy that day. My mom is scary, when you mess with her cubs.
Thé first story….perfect definition of F around and find out😂
Story 1... I'm also Lactose intolerant. That dude had to be feeling pretty awful after his shake. LMAO! (soft) serves him right!
Story 1: I worked many a Job where people had to share refrigerators. And I have had my lunch disappear more then a few times. I have to admit... nothing breaks a person's morale like working a hard day, looking forward to those delicious leftovers of a wonderful meal the precious day... only to have your heart and soul shattered by the fact someone felt they were so entitled that they took your food and left you trudge through the rest of the day hungry... while OPs situation is slightly different, the Point yet remains.... NOT the AH...he was 10,000% in the right for a little payback and it was a damn good way to prove who the thief was.
Story 4: In the Fire Department I worked for (retired) a second ambulance would have been called to transport the patient. We would also call for a police office to deal with the car and driver. Story 5: I believe what the woman was do would be fraud. She intentionally damaging items to get a discount. NAL but that seems illegal to me.
Ambulance 🚑 story, I used to work night security at an apartment complex many moons ago and this 1 guy kept parking his car in a no parking zone it was labeled as such so that fire trucks could make their way n2 complex, the complex was having issues with its fire alarm system, but the deposit still had 2 respond just in case, now this guy was really stubborn he'd had his car towed and ticketed on multiple occasions, 1 night he was parked in the zone and the alarm went off the firetruck just basically forced its way in by crunching his car between the truck and the 12 inch thick steel/cement post 📫 in the zone then they sent him a bill for the damage to the fire truck...lol. yes the car was basically bent n2 a horseshoe, no damage to post other than painting:)
When I was living with Roommates I had my own Minifridge and Mini Freezer in my closet. Kept all my food in my closet on shelves and in drawers and just kept my clothes in a chest of drawers instead. 2 years and we never had even the slightest difficulty with eachother over food because I kept mine separate. I knew that was the most common problem between roommates and just cut it off at the pass to keep the peace. It was so nice!
It also helped that I had a Microwave on top of the Minifridge and Minifreezer so I could do some late night snacking without leaving my room and making noise in the kitchen which was a godsend since I was often up till 3am or pulling all-nighters and needing food to keep going.
I absolutely love your stories!!! Your a great narrator! What’s really great is the hear one of your early stories ( 2 years ago+) and then now! You’ve learned and earned your craft so well! Well done
A friend of mine got a PS5 a few months back having stood in line outside to the local game store. By the time they got let into the store, the employee told them that the customer before them was buying the last one.
NBD, can just as easily browse the rest of the store.
Turns out, the customer on question was being a jerk to employees and to my friend (who literally congratulated him for getting one), so at some point, he walks off without, and the guy at the counter asks "do you want the PS5?" and so my friend got one instead of some jerk.
I was an 80's kid. I got sent out for cigarettes at least twice a week. Sometimes a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread too. I was probably around 7-10 ( I was my dad's gofer for years). The candy was awesome. You had the 1¢ tier, the 5¢ and the 10¢. The candy cigarettes were kinda fun for that first white puff, but it was just a mint stick after.
Being a kid in the 80's was so different from what it's like now. The "be home before dark" rule was in full effect and as long as you made it home, parents didn't really care where you went. We were always outside playing, no devices. I didn't get my first cell phone until I was in my 20's. Different times, but I liked them.
Yes! I used to buy my parents smokes from the local deli and it was always worth it when I got to spend the change on lollies. I was so disappointed when the laws changed and we weren’t allowed to anymore 😢
Story 3: Why didn't OP ask the woman for her keys. I would have said, "I can see your meeting is important, so let me move your car and I'll put it in your space after the ambulance leaves." Everyone still knows that woman is a Karen, and you will have a reputation of a practical problem solver. And the kid gets to the hospital. Everyone wins!
No one drives my car but me they can wait
And you think head bitch would have gone for that plan? Somehow I don't think so.
That wasn't op responsibility
Best time of day to listen to DarkFluff talking about EntitledPeople with the popcorn ready
In Australia it's a criminal offence to intentionally block an ambulance
As I said above, at least a four-figure fine, and potentially jail time depending on how badly the delay affected the patient.
I hope we get some halloween karen stories that would be funny
Even if the food/drink was something life threatening to R, OP still wouldn't be the AH. It had OP's name on it, R should not be touching it. R is the only one at fault in that situation.
Thank you Darkfluff. While recovering from Covid, I was diagnosed yesterday, this is exactly what I needed between naps. Thank you for adding a bit of sunshine when I needed it most.
My brother and I in the 80s would go up the street to a little convenience store to get our grandma's cigarette's for her. Our treat was to get a huge dill pickle from a barrel. Good times.
"How dare you switch the milk on me!" That wouldn't be a problem if you weren't stealing it in the first place dude. Wasn't meant for you in the first place lol. What type of milk OP uses should be irrelevant because R shouldn't be taking it in the first place.
I work retail and we don't give discounts for damaged items. If it is damaged, we can't sell it.
Story 1: The usual disclaimer: If you are going to pull a trick like this: 1) Don't lie about what it is and offer it. 2) Make sure it is something you could reasonably eat your self. (IE no soap, etc)
Story 2: My parents taught me talk back to adults when necessary. XD
Thanks for the stories DF. Blocking any emergency vehicle should be illegal if it's not. Lives depend on those people. Have a good day
I can kinda relate to the first story. My step dad eats everything he see in the fridge. One day I left my sandwich and was saving for later
Case I went to the movies when I got back form the movies. My step dad ate it cause he thought I was done with It. I didn't get to eat it the sandwich.
Later on for my birthday my dad got me a mini fridge. So when I have leftover I leave it in my mini fridge.
Ah, the good old days! In the mid-1950s, when I got my quarter allowance, I would joyfully walk the three blocks to the local grocery store and purchase a comic book, two candy bars (Baby Ruth, 3 Musketeers, or Hershey’s Chocolate), and five penny candies (jaw breakers, gumballs, or any of a couple dozen others)! Heaven!
I remember as a kid back in the 70's I'd buy dad a pack of cigar-ettes (small cigars) for my dad for fathers day for a few years being young you didn't understand that smokers had their references. it didn't mean a thing back then for a young kid to be in a tobacco shop buying products as it was assumed it was for their parents. different time. (same era where a 5 year was allowed to drink coffee) lol. Thanks for all the stories Fluff and Stevo.
Any question, bring up the store's CCTV probably caught the interaction. Especially since they were near the registers when it happened. I love the INSTANT justice in the story.
You know what's funny about the PS5 thing is that I got one from Walmart online right after it came out. Every time I went to Walmart before Christmas I checked to see if they had any. Every time I went I got one. 6 in total. Each one I sold to my friends for their kids for $15 more than what I paid for it $535 so $550. I had 5 super happy fathers/families and $75 more than what I had spent on them. Honestly I didn't see what the big deal was. Yes there were kids who were waiting in electronics for 18 hours or more but when I showed up there was only like 3 or 4 people in line and Walmart was getting shipments of 10-20 three times per week. Also those shipments arrived around 10:00am so that's when I went. One time an EMT, and three Fire Fighters were behind me and there was only 4 left so I stepped aside and let the last Fire Fighter get it. I told him not to worry since I was only there to help friends and had already gotten 4 at that point. I felt good my friends didn't have to buy from scalpers and $15 was a relief to them and a case of beer for my troubles. One father tried giving me an extra $100 and I wouldn't take it because as long as the stress was gone and everyone was happy on Christmas that was all I needed.
story 3: to quote GLaDOS: "well done here come the test results: you are a horrible person. that's what it says, a horrible person. we weren't even testing for that."
Second story: i remember going to the store for my parents and getting smokes for them, and ridding on the rides was a treat.
Story 5: Sounds like stores need to stop selling broken items to avoid situations like this. “Oh I’m sorry ma’am we can’t sell you this it’s a faulty product”!
First story: OP could always get an apartment sized fridge and keep it in his own room -- with a chain and lock on it. And a lock on the room. Randy got what he had coming, the thief.
In the late 60s my dad would send us to the local liquor store with money and a note on the back of his business card “pack of Salems please”. Different times.
OMG story #2 reminded me of a similar incident that happened decades ago the indignant mother tossed the defiant child off the ride unfortunately he stumbled into the path of an oncoming car the incident caused stores statewide to remove such attractions
First Story - I'm a tech guy. I'd be showing Randy video of him stealing my food.
What baffles me even more about the ambulance story is that the woman was in a management position at a school and had zero concern about lawsuits.
If I ever switched my own food, I would definitely at least put a little sign like a sticker on the bottle saying whole milk or something that way I would be free of liability
What liability, if it is my milk and each roommate buys their own food then their is no liability because no one is suppose to touch your food and your not supposed to touch theirs
@@gary1143 I hear you but I'm just saying, at least if something becomes of it you can say Hey I tried to warn them and they shouldn't have touched it in the 1st place
I have delt with a Karen once that I can think of when I was 19/ 21. I worked at a Wendy's in Nags head north Carolina, a beach area making summer traffic a nightmare. So a woman comes back in to the store after she had done drove thru. I being in the dining room greeted her with a as mall smile and a welcome to Wendy's etc. She was pissed. And she said this ". No it's not a good day,. I was half an hour down the road as ND my fries were cold. I had to come back I want hot fries". Okay #1. I watched the kitchen staff drop new fries like every 3 minutes. #2. So you basically took an hour out of your time to complain about fries I know were hot. Repeat that you an hour ( probably more it was around July 4 the ) to complain about fries. That you waited to eat. So while I'm standing there asking her what I can do to make amends my boss' walks up to me ( sigh great). I told him the story. And then he gets the same look on his face. As I had on mine. I asked him if I'm as should grab new fries. He looks at me like I had to heads. Karen said that won't do. I told I'll make sure myself there very fresh. She said fine. Thankfully new ones just came out. I explained the situation. Not only did i give a bigger size. But two apple pies as an. I'm sorry. She took them, told me and my boss we should be ashamed of ourselves and stomped. Not only did I get a raise for how I handled the crazy winch but was asked to put my name in the hat for a manger trainee position. That woman bat bat sh* t crazy
Story 1: R is the bleeping bleep bleep
Story 4: I only recently just got an XB1 as the SX is still out of my price range 😅
I really can't stand it when people (mainly my brother) eats my food without asking first - especially if I had it pre-portioned so I can monitor my caloric intake.
One time, my brother ate about four pieces of my skillet gnocchi, and tried to deny it when I confronted him. He tried to claim it was my fault later on because I didn't write my name on the ocntainer - even though we lived with our parents at the time and could've asked them (I was in an online class when he ate the gnocchi).
Wouldn’t refusing to move for an ambulance constitute deliberate child endangerment? And as such, grounds to immediately fire the HB?
I had a friend who worked for an ambulance service run by the municipal fire department, and their official policy was that if the ambulance was blocked in during a call that required immediate patient transport to a hospital, then they were to immediately call for police and a backup ambulance, then they could attempt to remove the vehicle by any means necessary, including, but not limited to, breaking windows and releasing the E brake to roll out of the way, or by pushing the vehicle out of the way with a fire truck, or with the ambulance if no truck was on hand.
I used to work at a small catalog store. We had the store brand appliances in stock at the location so that the customer could see them & buy them off the floor. I was working the front counter one day when I noticed this family outside looking in the front window. The parents were pointing out a particular washer, dryer, & refrigerator & talking very animated to the 4 kids. When they finally came in, the parents looked around, but the kids went right to the appliances the parents had pointed out. I signaled my boss & another man who worked there to watch the kids. Those little brats were caught scratching & denting the 3 appliances, causing significant damage to each of them but only to the sides, not the front. We didn't act on this at first bc the boss wanted to see where it was going to go. The parents finally came to the counter & asked about getting discounts for the damaged appliances. The boss whispered to me to call police while he kept the parents busy. Cops showed up & they were given the choice to buy at full price or be arrested & pay for the damages anyway. Mind you, this was back in 1987. Cameras were a new thing in little towns like ours, but we had them & they caught it all. They decided it would be best to just buy the 3 appliances at full price right there. The best thing, though, was my husband & I did independent deliveries & we charged them double bc they were such crap people. Win-win situation. 😂
Kids buying smokes in the 1980s is nothing. My mom told how she and her sisters would pull a small wagon around the block to a saloon and bring her father back a bucket full of beer! 🍺 (For a nickel - it was the 1940s.)
3:36 "let me know what you would do in this situation"
So back in 2010-2011, I was a teen who had just gotten off the streets and into a homeless shelter. I was eating off food stamps, working minimum wage at a strip mall, and generally just trying to survive another day.
I allowed myself 1 indulgence purchase, whenever my stamps got renewed, one small bit of something in my life to help me feel like I was still human. A small jar of Nutella.
Now, there were a few other people at this shelter, and one day I came back after work and I noticed my brand new small jar of Nutella had a big scoop taken out of it.
To note; I was the youngest and newest person by far at this shelter, and I didn't want to start anything big over it... and I wasn't heartless, maybe someone just didn't have anything to eat that day and needed something, idk, I just let it slide and went to bed. Next morning I went to my part of the pantry and I found my jar half empty.
I immediatly knew what I was going to do, consequences be damned.
I got ready and left for work. After work I picked up a new jar and went back to the shelter. I kept the new jar in my rucksack, and didn't let anyone else know about it.
Just before bed, I went to the kitchen, grabbed the nastiest, rustiest, sharpest knife I could find and taped it to the back of my old jar and stuck it back in the pantry, then I went to bed.
Next morning I found my stabbsy-jar lying on its side, the knife in the sink, and one of the other guys had a strap of gauze wrapped around his hand. He was ~late 20's early 30's~, never looked at, spoke to, or made eye contact with me after that, amd no more food went missing for the rest of the 6 months I was there.
Edit; I used "Now" to start a sentance twice in a row. This has been corrected.
