That landlord got what they deserved. Refusing to do anything about problems on their properties means, in my opinion, they deserve to lose it. And business owners who refuse tp follow the law deserve to lose those as well. Especially when breaking those laws puts people in danger
In some places (i say that because i dont knkw the law everywhere) the landlord is responsible for their tenants compliance with the law to some degree, and this definately applies to employees. The guy doesn't seem to understand how a rental agreement would actually save his butt in many cases where say he wanted to evict someone.
@@nunyabisnass1141 there is more that could happen to a dog in a rural area. Yes the dog could get lost/hurt but depending on how neighboring lands are used and what the laws are the dog could be shot. If the dog roamed onto a property where livestock like horses, cattle, sheep etc. and the dog started playing what it considered a friendly game of chase the property owner may not see it that way and shoot the dog to protect their livestock thinking the dog intended harm when it merely wanted to play. Or the property owner could catch the dog and track down its owner to demand they either lock their dog up or if some of the livestock were accidentally injured/killed the dogs owner would be in legal trouble and may be forced to put the dog down though if it could be proven that someone else intentionally let the dog loose the person(s) responsible may be the one that must face whatever penalty the laws/property owners say. I live in an area that has livestock but the laws may or may not differ from my area so please be sure to check county laws, rules and regulations. it was nice to hear it didn't come to that and the scummy landlord got in trouble for all those violations. He deserved all he got.
No, he didn't, but it was a start. He should've been forced to live in one of his own s***holes for a year or two and pay the tenants double their deposits as compensation.

If they could prove negligence or dishonesty on her part, then yes, there could be legal consequences; but according to this story, she was neither of those, just stupid and incompetent (which, unfortunately, are NOT crimes).
@@benjaminwertz2379 Yeah, it was apparent from how she reacted to the 'creative math' that mistakes in her dealings were from stupidity rather than embellishing. They were kind of being nice only firing her and having her escorted out of the building. They could have thrown the book at her. That was the best she could have hoped for though, in high end business, that level of incompetent is almost _worse_ then crooked.
ACGearsandArms yes, if they had not caught it and had it continued it could have possibly caused the company problems, which I imagine is likely why she was fired, because incompetence at that level is not conducive to a functioning company. Not to mention due to her ridiculously bad math it seems she shot down many possibly lucrative options for the company, so that alone shows how much she cost the company.
Oh yeah, this could potentially cost the company thousands, if not hundreds of thousands or even millions. Imagine Karen doing a service order using her calculator and due to the error it comes out to over a million, when it's supposed to be only a little over hundred thousand. Karen overpays on the services, and they're refusing to correct the bills because they don't have to. Service providers can charge what they want, and if overpaid can keep the money. Imagine you pay your barber 10k for a 10 dollar hairdo. Or imagine Karen does a materials order. She's supposed to buy a certain amount of simple materials like paper and other office supplies. She uses her calculator, and what should only cost a few thousand for the whole office for months, she buys decades worth of supplies with hundreds of thousands.

The dog story...I understand loving a stupid dog. When I was little we had a dog like that. He was the sweetest, friendliest lug ever but he had the intellect of a sack of rocks. My dad, who is a bit of an expert animal trainer, completely gave up trying to house train that dog. (I figure a lot of you already know or can guess, but house training is not usually hard), he also had a hormone condition of some kind that made him nearly double the normal size for his bread, he was _huge._ After cleaning up 30+ horse piles he became an outdoor dog. We eventually had to give him away because we simply didn't have enough space for him to get enough exercise and my dad was the only person strong enough to walk him. Leash training was also something he didn't get. Dad was a pro body builder at the time. When anyone else tried to walk him, they'd just end up going for a belly first sled ride. We found a guy who owned a ranch outside of town and a female dog of the same bread that was almost as big as him. We thought he'd be a lot happier there than in our tiny yard, getting walks only when my overworked dad had time.
Actually, Karen's calculator might not be cheap, but rather a particular calculator for budgeting. Granted, it should have both the normal setting and the other one. Likely, she never learned how to change settings on it
Or it was a cheap calculator. Most likely because "free" calculators in women's wallets and checkbook wallets (yep, they used to make those), even leather ones, are really cheap things. Not a financial quality calculator, nor a scientific quality calculator. Just garbage really. Not sure why the idiot was using it for work.

WTF was she doing using a calculator??? In my job I used both a scientific calculator and I also had a programming calculator that did binary, octal, and hexadecimal math. I loved that thing!

OP in the first story was wrong for immediately threatening the owner with a lawsuit. Owners dont always know what's going on. Tell him what's going on, give him the chance, and then if he doesn't move to make it right, dont threaten a suit, just do it
I think in general you shouldn't threaten a lawsuit. It generally allows people to try and cover their tracks. That said you should give someone the chance to make amends.
My brother had a similar experience with his dogs. He had his wife had a couple of grey hounds and they took very good care of them, but there was this stupid old bitch who lived next door to them who insisted that they were not feeding the dogs enough because they were "so skinny", so she kept trying to feed them when she though no one was home, or just throwing food over the fence. For anyone who does not know, grey hounds are bred as racing dogs, they always have a very lithe and skinny build. That is just how they are supposed to be. Over-feeding grey hounds can be extremely harmful to their health and they tried to explain that to this woman, but she just could not comprehend. Even after they moved to a new house, she found out where they lived and came over to feed their dogs (it was a very small town so was probably not hard to find out). She eventually stopped after she had been confronted numerous times by several different people and the police were called.
The one with the calculator reminds me of a former friend. He ran his own business and was also the main seller for that business.. He worked with numbers every day. Then one day when a bunch of us friends were there for a game night he suddenly declared that 0 wasn't a real number, and therefore you couldn't have 0 of anything. Basic math (2-2=?), calculators, etc. Nothing worked. He kept insisting you couldn't have 0 of anything.
I’m terrible at math and that order of operations shit always fucked me up I’d like to think I would believe the operation geniuses and customer feedback over one tiny calculator
The incompetent CFO: assuming she had multiple degrees to get her CFO job, that does not necessarily mean she excelled at mathematics. She really deserved her firing. She kept the company from being successful by depending on a cheap calculator. She herself was a lousy financial officer because she could not calculate properly even with paper and pencil. Sheesh! No wonder the CEO yelled at her! I wonder if we had some idiots like her at my ex employer of over 30 years in the executive suites...It would explain some of their blunders.
Yeah, no kidding. She could have at least used the calculator on her phone instead, but nope. She had to stick to her crap calculator and insist on everyone else being in the wrong even though she was blatantly wrong.
@@akl2k7 If you refuse to follow the order of operations, then it doesn't matter what type of calculator you use because you will ALWAYS try to do the calculation in the order it was presented to you (in the example presented in the video: (2+3) × 4 = 20) instead of the order it SHOULD be done (2 + (3×4) = 14). A good calculator can't save you from doing bad math.
Really cheap calculators. I had one of these and it almost cost me my entire math grade for the first quarter of the year. Ended up buying another one that dramatically changed my year and grades.
I tried to look for an update on the last one, had to google the title because apparently they deleted it. From the comment section people are giving them advice(like the landlord might try to claim they’re squatters since there’s no proof of rent) but mostly they mention they might take a pic of their trespassing sign. Also I think they deleted their account because it’s not showing up(well it keeps loading on mobile browser but nothing happens)
That first story. Country boy who moved to the city for college. Been doing everything from oil changes to engine swaps for a decade. Apartment complex won't allow any automotive work in my parking lot so I have to take my car in for service to the local quick lube place (it's name has changed over the years so I'm not sure what it was at the time) around my 3rd oil change with them I'm sitting in my car listening to them work and I'm following the steps in my mind. They take out the plug, and as I hear the oil draining out I hear them set a metal object on their metal bench....and then BANG! I'm like wtf McButterfingers just dropped a hammer? Then the manager comes over and shows me my "damaged" drain plug with a huge gash in the seal that resembles a cold chisel tool mark. "You must have hit something, you're lucky you don't lose all your oil! A new plug is only $8 and we have then in stock. No problem! I'm like, hit something? The gash is on the washer inside the plug face. The manager backpeddling, says maybe the last shop dropped it before they put it back. I grabbed my receipts from my glove box, "you're the last shop". He gets all defensive and claims that it was "road damage" again. I get fed up, pay and leave because I don't have time to BS over $8. Told everyone I knew about it and never went back. I later hear this shit is pretty standard policy at these places and they start off small and the longer you stay the more they screw you.
We had something like that on my start up. i just made a rule that you had use pre approved calculators. the approval tests were simply some bidmass calculations.
Speaking of math, calculators performing the operations in the wrong order is always something I‘m very fearful of. I always triple check that the calculators respect the rules of math.
That women who didn't understand basic math is a perfect example of what happens when someone is put in position through affirmative action and not their competence . Unfortunately this more common then many know.
Ah yes cheap calculators, handy in a pinch just remember that they don't do storage for actual formulas or anything. Had a relative that was trying to do homework like that and didn't get why their answers were so wrong, they at least could ballpark where they were supposed to be landing but didn't quite figure what was wrong, took me a few looks until I realized what was going on.
I'm just confused how she got her position without knowing basic mathematics. Isn't that kind of required to pass any math class? I mean I was homeschooled so maybe things are a lot different in public school or wherever she went
if i was the CEO I would've taken Karen's crappy calculator and stomped it to death in front of her, telling Karen that her calculator was the reason she was being fired.
I disagree with what the staff did in the end after Karen was fired instead of the poster they should have put a beginner mathematics class subscription on her car payed for and just write because you need it on it

"#Syntax Error!" Implied multiplication shouldn't be used with inline divisions (and, in general, not outside of symbolic calculus, aka algebra). The lack of symbol makes the boundaries of the denominator unclear: should 2(2+2) or 2 be treated as the denominator? Note that in algebra, we will generally treat the members of an implied multiplication as a single block, as if they were inside parenthesis. E.G.: y/2x=0.5*y/x while y/2*x=0.5*x*y. According to that, and like most people, I would interpret 1/2(2+2)=1/(2*(2+2))=0.125.
Not only are dinky dictionaries and pseudo calculators a waste of the resources to manufacture them but the use of them is COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE ( costly) for any endeavor they are used in. They are tools of the sabetour.
To the first one i had somthing like that to so i bought a second hand set of snow tires cheaply for my car so i went to a tire place to get them put on the stock metal rims 1 tire was to bad so they made a deal on a second hand so i could safe for 2 brand new ones the day came i had enough monny and went to get the 2 that wure kinda bad changed so i went to the waiting room when one of the mechenics asked if i could have a look ... i was like oh oh what did they fuck up .. he asked if i put the tires on the rim (why would i be ther if i could do it my self) i said no i had it done ... wher was his reply ... with a grin on my face i said here. The look in his face priceless
A dog that drinks so much water non stop to the point of barfing may have a serious health problem, sounds like diabetes to me, but a trip to the vet may be the best thing to do.
Some more context can be added cuz a similar situation happened to one of my friends(except the business part)... They helped out some woman they barely knew to stay in one of their rooms for a fee that was around 1/10 of an usual amount (they did not really wanted to rent but help out and get some money for the bills to which the "tenant" was consuming as well). After 4 or 5 months, the "tenant" was angry about not having whatever fixed and went on a "legal" shitstorm like these two in the story, cuz she was paying rent and was a tenant and whatnot... In the end she was kicked out, friends fined, the tenant got sued and lost. So again.. more context... cuz at this point and due to past experience... tenants are the jackasses here on the "renting" part.
The woman in the story with the engineers may have had mythomania, a lot of people have trouble admitting fault, but mythomaniacs are incapable of it. Literally nothing is their fault and anything bad that happens is either someone out to get them or someone else's incompetence. I know it sounds like I'm describing every 'Karen' everywhere, but actual mythomania is more than that. You're typical Karen might have a bit of that mindset, but for it to be an actual neuroses, it has to be like...well a story from a while back, a woman left her kid in a hot car for hours then blew up on a person who refused to let her cut in line. Blaming HIM for her kid being in the car for hours. When the police arrested her, she stared blankly ahead repeating, "Not my fault, not my fault." over and over. Those people very simply can not accept reality for what it is, they choose to do whatever the heck they want and the consequences are someone else's fault and/or the world out to get them.
I hope I can give you a bit of advice without offending you too much. You seem to be picking stories based in part for their length. Unfortunately, most of these stories contain a lot of details that don't really move the story forward and are mostly kind of boring. If you left out the fluff when reading these stories I think you could get more views. Personally I enjoy the way these stories end, but a lot of the time I quit part way through. In the end, it's your channel. You can take this or leave it. I don't want you to feel that I'm bossing you around because that is not what I'm trying to do. I'm just making a suggestion I think would improve the quality of your channel.

For anyone who does not know, grey hounds are bred as racing dogs, they always have a very lithe and skinny build. That is just how they are supposed to be. Over-feeding grey hounds can be extremely harmful to their health and they tried to explain that to this woman, but she just could not comprehend. Even after they moved to a new house, she found out where they lived and came over to feed their dogs (it was a very small town so was probably not hard to find out). She eventually stopped after she had been confronted numerous times by several different people and the police were called.
aw man the last one's user got deleted by reddit
Wow,that is a massive burn. But the guy deserved it
The one with the calculator reminds me of a former friend. He ran his own business and was also the main seller for that business.. He worked with numbers every day. Then one day when a bunch of us friends were there for a game night he suddenly declared that 0 wasn't a real number, and therefore you couldn't have 0 of anything. Basic math (2-2=?), calculators, etc. Nothing worked. He kept insisting you couldn't have 0 of anything.
7:17 I look at my calculator told 14 not 20 how did even Karen get that anyways
2+3 becomes 5. 5 x 4 is 20.
I’m terrible at math and that order of operations shit always fucked me up I’d like to think I would believe the operation geniuses and customer feedback over one tiny calculator
Being wrong is one thing but being arrogantly wrong is something entirely different
Arrogantly wrong... With a dash of Willful stupidity
Hello. That lady was barking mad.
The incompetent CFO: assuming she had multiple degrees to get her CFO job, that does not necessarily mean she excelled at mathematics. She really deserved her firing. She kept the company from being successful by depending on a cheap calculator. She herself was a lousy financial officer because she could not calculate properly even with paper and pencil. Sheesh! No wonder the CEO yelled at her! I wonder if we had some idiots like her at my ex employer of over 30 years in the executive suites...It would explain some of their blunders.
Yeah, no kidding. She could have at least used the calculator on her phone instead, but nope. She had to stick to her crap calculator and insist on everyone else being in the wrong even though she was blatantly wrong.
@@akl2k7 If you refuse to follow the order of operations, then it doesn't matter what type of calculator you use because you will ALWAYS try to do the calculation in the order it was presented to you (in the example presented in the video: (2+3) × 4 = 20) instead of the order it SHOULD be done (2 + (3×4) = 14).
A good calculator can't save you from doing bad math.
Oh my how funny. I have a brother-in-law that thinks you can get 5 out of 4. Not kidding He is running a school!
I'm mildly sad that you didn't try a Stephen Hawking impression for the insult picture, but I'm still impressed with the content
7:10 LMAO WHAT.
What kind of calculator doesn't follow order of operations holy shit, this is so stupidly funny.
Dollar tree calculators
Really cheap calculators. I had one of these and it almost cost me my entire math grade for the first quarter of the year. Ended up buying another one that dramatically changed my year and grades.
I thought that the CEO would take a hammer to the calculate.
I tried to look for an update on the last one, had to google the title because apparently they deleted it. From the comment section people are giving them advice(like the landlord might try to claim they’re squatters since there’s no proof of rent) but mostly they mention they might take a pic of their trespassing sign.
Also I think they deleted their account because it’s not showing up(well it keeps loading on mobile browser but nothing happens)
That first story.
Country boy who moved to the city for college. Been doing everything from oil changes to engine swaps for a decade. Apartment complex won't allow any automotive work in my parking lot so I have to take my car in for service to the local quick lube place (it's name has changed over the years so I'm not sure what it was at the time) around my 3rd oil change with them I'm sitting in my car listening to them work and I'm following the steps in my mind. They take out the plug, and as I hear the oil draining out I hear them set a metal object on their metal bench....and then BANG! I'm like wtf McButterfingers just dropped a hammer? Then the manager comes over and shows me my "damaged" drain plug with a huge gash in the seal that resembles a cold chisel tool mark. "You must have hit something, you're lucky you don't lose all your oil! A new plug is only $8 and we have then in stock. No problem!
I'm like, hit something? The gash is on the washer inside the plug face. The manager backpeddling, says maybe the last shop dropped it before they put it back. I grabbed my receipts from my glove box, "you're the last shop". He gets all defensive and claims that it was "road damage" again. I get fed up, pay and leave because I don't have time to BS over $8. Told everyone I knew about it and never went back. I later hear this shit is pretty standard policy at these places and they start off small and the longer you stay the more they screw you.
We had something like that on my start up.
i just made a rule that you had use pre approved calculators.
the approval tests were simply some bidmass calculations.
Speaking of math, calculators performing the operations in the wrong order is always something I‘m very fearful of. I always triple check that the calculators respect the rules of math.
... Or manually enter it into the calculator as per the order?
jesus christ XD fricking destroy the guy at the end why dont you XD
That women who didn't understand basic math is a perfect example of what happens when someone is put in position through affirmative action and not their competence . Unfortunately this more common then many know.
mmmmmmmm. it's been a long while since I had a maths hardon in my soul. But ... this, does put a smile on my face.

Ah yes cheap calculators, handy in a pinch just remember that they don't do storage for actual formulas or anything. Had a relative that was trying to do homework like that and didn't get why their answers were so wrong, they at least could ballpark where they were supposed to be landing but didn't quite figure what was wrong, took me a few looks until I realized what was going on.
I'm just confused how she got her position without knowing basic mathematics. Isn't that kind of required to pass any math class?
I mean I was homeschooled so maybe things are a lot different in public school or wherever she went
Allowing the use of calculators in pre-algebra math courses can corrupt the ability to perform the simpliest of arithmetic.
Love pro revenge. Never disappoints
if i was the CEO I would've taken Karen's crappy calculator and stomped it to death in front of her, telling Karen that her calculator was the reason she was being fired.
I love an owner of a car repair who is honest. Too many are not. Bye, bye GM. Good riddance.
I disagree with what the staff did in the end after Karen was fired instead of the poster they should have put a beginner mathematics class subscription on her car payed for and just write because you need it on it
Dear Jake, could we lessen the ads? 6 ad stops with sometimes 2 ads in each stop is like 😓.
Please write to youtube directly. Jake does not determine the number of ads nor their placement in his videos. RUclips does that. You are complaining to the wrong person.
I'm pretty sure bad-mouthing people to other places of business is against the law! All you're allowed to tell them is when they started and when they left. At least that's how I understand it to be in the United States.
Officially anyways. Unofficially, discreetly, in social circles, well... Warning ones community is just plain neighborly.

What does 8/2(2+2) equal? Explain.
"#Syntax Error!"
Implied multiplication shouldn't be used with inline divisions (and, in general, not outside of symbolic calculus, aka algebra). The lack of symbol makes the boundaries of the denominator unclear: should 2(2+2) or 2 be treated as the denominator?
Note that in algebra, we will generally treat the members of an implied multiplication as a single block, as if they were inside parenthesis. E.G.: y/2x=0.5*y/x while y/2*x=0.5*x*y. According to that, and like most people, I would interpret 1/2(2+2)=1/(2*(2+2))=0.125.
8/2(2+2)=
8/2*4=
4*4=16
This has been explained in a few videos. Here's one:

Hi jake how are you
The calc wasn't bad... She was just terrible at math
Yeah P.E.M.D.A.S🙌😄
Not only are dinky dictionaries and pseudo calculators a waste of the resources to manufacture them but the use of them is COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE ( costly) for any endeavor they are used in. They are tools of the sabetour.
To the first one i had somthing like that to so i bought a second hand set of snow tires cheaply for my car so i went to a tire place to get them put on the stock metal rims 1 tire was to bad so they made a deal on a second hand so i could safe for 2 brand new ones the day came i had enough monny and went to get the 2 that wure kinda bad changed so i went to the waiting room when one of the mechenics asked if i could have a look ... i was like oh oh what did they fuck up .. he asked if i put the tires on the rim (why would i be ther if i could do it my self) i said no i had it done ... wher was his reply ... with a grin on my face i said here. The look in his face priceless
A dog that drinks so much water non stop to the point of barfing may have a serious health problem, sounds like diabetes to me, but a trip to the vet may be the best thing to do.
PEMDAS, baby!
I always enjoy your videos, but I really wish you could get rid of the ads.
Some more context can be added cuz a similar situation happened to one of my friends(except the business part)... They helped out some woman they barely knew to stay in one of their rooms for a fee that was around 1/10 of an usual amount (they did not really wanted to rent but help out and get some money for the bills to which the "tenant" was consuming as well). After 4 or 5 months, the "tenant" was angry about not having whatever fixed and went on a "legal" shitstorm like these two in the story, cuz she was paying rent and was a tenant and whatnot... In the end she was kicked out, friends fined, the tenant got sued and lost. So again.. more context... cuz at this point and due to past experience... tenants are the jackasses here on the "renting" part.
I was always taught there is NO universal rule for math. it's based on what the context is
Order of operations is chiseled in stone. Everyone has to agree on one method of performing operations or everyone can get whatever answer they want.

What is with the ads every 2 minutes??? Too many ads, can't even finish one story without 3 ad breaks! Please don't over do it.
For a no talent clown ripping off reddit, this guy sure needs a lot of commercials. Much better readers out there.
The woman in the story with the engineers may have had mythomania, a lot of people have trouble admitting fault, but mythomaniacs are incapable of it. Literally nothing is their fault and anything bad that happens is either someone out to get them or someone else's incompetence. I know it sounds like I'm describing every 'Karen' everywhere, but actual mythomania is more than that. You're typical Karen might have a bit of that mindset, but for it to be an actual neuroses, it has to be like...well a story from a while back, a woman left her kid in a hot car for hours then blew up on a person who refused to let her cut in line. Blaming HIM for her kid being in the car for hours. When the police arrested her, she stared blankly ahead repeating, "Not my fault, not my fault." over and over. Those people very simply can not accept reality for what it is, they choose to do whatever the heck they want and the consequences are someone else's fault and/or the world out to get them.
So, you're giving a name to a crazy selfish and self centered person. Regardless, they can never be trusted.
Apparently Karen's calculator can't do brackets like my phone can
So many ads
i'm sure many people like it but i can't stand the valley girl accent. tried the second video (this one) and couldn't make it through it.
Too many adds
RUclips is responsible for the ads, not the ones who post videos, I use the "Enhancer for RUclips" add on for my browser and see no ads ever.
I hope I can give you a bit of advice without offending you too much. You seem to be picking stories based in part for their length. Unfortunately, most of these stories contain a lot of details that don't really move the story forward and are mostly kind of boring.
If you left out the fluff when reading these stories I think you could get more views. Personally I enjoy the way these stories end, but a lot of the time I quit part way through.
In the end, it's your channel. You can take this or leave it. I don't want you to feel that I'm bossing you around because that is not what I'm trying to do. I'm just making a suggestion I think would improve the quality of your channel.
I prefer the details as it enriches the story with substance to the context of the narrative.

Because it is, like, just my opinion.
The first story was a case of "mom mentality" , ya know "im right just because im an older female in charge". Definitely makes a case for lower wages, a male is able to see reason.
Uuum, the word is "compliant" not "compliment", by the way, in the puppy story
