"Respect your elders" is such bullshit. Nobody automatically deserves respect just for taking a few extra trips around the sun. You want respect, you act respectably.
That wrinkled old prune needs the stupid slapped out of her. Also, OP should have insisted on cops being called and pressing charges. Being 65 myself, I would never insist on respect just because I'm older. I was taught better.
That last story...I can't 😭 I love Ruan! He got to that position through honesty and hard work, and he deserves that. Fluff's right, it's hard to find an honest employee who gives a crap about the place/work. It's like a hidden gem.
I finally experienced an I don't work here moment, if only as a witness. I was in a large grocery store when a Karen ripped the headphones off a young female shopper and started berating her for "not listening" and "bad service." The young lady looked at the Karen holding her headphones, screamed "Who the f*ck do you think you're talking to?" and punched the Karen right in the nose! A wonderful shot, followed by a few more in various places. I stuck around long enough to defend the young lady as a victim of assault to the police, supported by the always present video, and expect to be called as a witness in Karen's upcoming trial for assault. Seventy years of waiting and I finally got to see a Karen get taken down. My life is now complete. It has always amazed me that none of the people who post such stories do not react to assault as this young lady did. She is now my hero.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 No stress for me. I am just a witness, and will say that Karen struck the first and second blows by grabbing her headphones and spinning her around. I will cherish the reaction for years to come.
Wow. Such episodes should be uploaded to the cloud to (a) serve as examples to others to defend themselves against Karens and (b) serve as a warning to Karens!
That is the one thing that puzzles me. Your young lady did exactly the right thing. Why do others not do the same? Lay hands on someone? Yeah expect hands on yourself. It's called self defense.
The Karen who attacked OP was clearly not just “having a bad day”. The fact that her kids pointed and laughed at OP is very worrisome, since she’s probably taught them to think her physically injuring people is funny. I suspect that this isn’t the first time she’s done something like this; she’s likely been warned and this attack was the last straw. I hope the therapy helps her with her rage issues.
Yes! I'm glad to say if I was that much of an arsehole, my eldest would totally call me out. Getting kind of worried, as this plague of Karen's is disturbing... I don't want to hit menopause and turn into a monster
No, Karen. You don't get to attack people because you're having a bad day. It wouldn't matter if they actually were an employee at the store you're shopping at. Everyone has bad days, but most of them manage to have bad days without attacking people.
Imagine we all would be allowed to assault people when having a bad day... world would not only be karen free... When i have a bad day atm. i just "ruin" others peoples day in The Cycle atm. its part of the game so shooting others bevor even HEARING THEM OUT (as there are people crying about "dont shoot pls!" all the time...) wich can ruin a quiet profitable run for them, and as its a PVP game and nearly no one these day's is fit for it the rest of their day too.
Story 1: Always...ALWAYS...press charges! In addition to stopping Krazy Karen from assaulting someone else that day it (might) teach her a lesson about putting her hands on others. Story 3: The best way to rectify the situation? Press charges on Karen for trespassing & illegal entry into your home...throw in "Peeping Tom" charges as well just to fuck with her. Story 6: Again...always press charges! Letting these people get away with doing these things is why they keep doing them. Assault plus a secondary sexual assault will stop that shit. Story 7: Awesome story! So glad that the little weasel Eddie was canned and a good guy like Ruan got to be the new manager :)
I loved the story about Ruan. It makes you feel good inside. Everybody should be given a chance especially those who work for it. They usually make the best employees and the most loyal. Way to go Ruan.
She said she was having a bad day? I would have told her, "Lady, you think you have been having a bad day? You don't know what a bad day is. Just wait until the police get here and then you will truly know at a bad day is like!"
I really really wish he had said to the kids as she was being taken out in handcuffs “come on guys isn’t this funny, ur moms being arrested” idc how old they are I am petty like that
Reminds me of one my dad witnessed. He's waiting in line at Burger King, unhappy Karen demands to see the manager, as they messed up her sandwich. Manager comes and she THROWS THE SANDWHICH across the counter and says "I want a refund!" Manager says "ok" walks over to the register calmly counts out her refund then throws it at her.
@@zackkatian3436 I have been a manager at a BK. That is entirely correct. Its also just a good practices thing for most customer service. Its easier to give them a refund and get them to leave than to have to listen to them arguing and annoying other customers.
the amount of times we have had people walk in ask for a refund but they do not have a receipt. We tell them we need the receipt to scan the bar code to get the money out. me is me, EC is entitled Customer They say EC can you not just open the till and give me the money. ME Err no that will make the till short. Go home get your receipt then bring it back we will do your refund. EC You never gave me a receipt. Then you cannot have a refund, EC Get me your manager. Me Manager is not here, EC full Karen mode GET ME THE MANAGER ME Right ,Get out your barred
Normally I’d agree, but I don’t think that story is real. There was a story like this a few years ago that was almost exactly the same. The only difference was the names and the type of business.
@dragonrider1549 i mean...i don't care, tbh. It's dumb that someone fabricated a story for reddit karma, but i just wanted to encourage Fluff to keep this format of making the last story positive so the video ends on a happy note.
4th story (Subway Shop): The way she took off so fast when she heard the word: Police, makes me wonder if she was already on Parole or Probation for doing similar stunts to other people and whatever goods they had....
I'm glad a couple people pressed charges but the embarrassment alone won't stop a Karen. They always need to have charges pressed against them. They may not stop them right away but if it is done enough times or the punishment for what they did is bad enough like in Story 5 I think they will finally learn.
I think one of the worst parts about the headphone removing thing that Karens do is: what if someone with anxiety, a high stress issue, a social disorder, or something similar were using music, audiobooks, etc. to stay calm and regulate their emotions while shopping? These people could be sent into a panic attack, heart attack(high stress+possible heart problems), asthma attack(if they have asthma, I’ve heard sudden stress or fear can cause them sometimes), a melt down, etc. and probably still have to deal with an angry, delusional asshole who thinks they’re entitled to put their nasty hands on others.
I always have my AirPods in when I go anywhere in public. Now of course I don’t go alone since I’m 12, so I do feel safer not paying much attention to my surroundings. I’ve been almost kidnapped twice which has really spiked my anxiety, I’m planning on getting a service dog soon to help prevent me from having anxiety attacks. I panic when people get close to me, especially from behind. The perk of AirPods is that Karens can’t rip them out of my ears since they wouldn’t even know
Story 6: I would bet you $10 that if it was a dude yanking on a chick's lanyard directly in front of her crotch that the entire story would have gone *very* differently.
Oh, but assaulting a man is funny. You see, women CAN'T abuse a man. Abuse is something men do to women and kids. If you don't believe me, talk to any man who went public about being abused by a woman. It never goes well. People don't give a damn about what happens to a man.
@@wfcoaker1398 After all, remember how long it took Depp to find a sliver of justice with hundreds of pieces of evidence, but how quick they fired him over allegations.
About 25 years ago I was in a large grocery store. The next isle over had to women arguing loudly, and a kid screaming. I already had a headache, and they weren't helping it. I looked up at the ceiling and yelled, "Shut the hell up, right now!" The entire store went quiet. My drill instructor would have been proud of the volume. A Karen threaten to hurt me? I would smile and tell her, "My Uncle Sam taught me to kill. With my bare hands. Are you ready to see if I can still do it?"
I'm almost getting the giggles over imagining that, right after the store went silent, you realised that "A Walk In The Black Forest" was playing over the store PA system. :D (the classic and original elevator music) Somehow, that contrast amuses me.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 It was a old Winn-Dixie store, and they didn't play background music. It was dead silent for almost a minute, and then the noise was still a lot lower than normal. The kid and two women had stopped making any noise. another minute passed, then they walked past the end of the aisle. They took a quick look at me, but they didn't say a word as they scurried off. They taught you to yell quite loudly in Basic, to be able to communicate on a battlefield. If I had been outside you could have heard me quite a distance but inside, it bounced off every hard surface in the store. If I wasn't in so much pain, I would have been laughing at the results. 😀
Karens never went there. It was too hard for them. To quote from an old Wile E Coyote vs Bugs Bunny cartoon, they could hardly pass the entrance examinations for kindergarten.
What makes the last story even better is how, in all of this, the old manager got his lazy butt fired. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he got the news that he was being replaced by his janitor.
Love that last story! Always better to see a good guy get the reward he deserves then and bad one get punished. I imagine the lazy manager got displaced from his job as a result too though.
We had a double cylinder lock in one of my childhood homes. It was the front door. It definitely helped us feel more secure. You can't easily bump them or break a window on the door to unlock it. I'd guess the one they had was one that automatically locked when the door closes.
Back in the day (around the transition from skeleton key/lever locks) latches were often linked in the same mechanism as a deadbolt, with some buttons on the face between the two that turn the 'auto bolt' function on and off. My grandparents house had that kind of lock on the front door, but was not double tumbler.
They are pretty common in many countries. Here in Argentina having a door that can be unlocked without a key from the inside is reaaaaaally weird. I will say 99.9% of doors need a key to be unlocked from the inside. Why you ask? Well is a cheaper and simpler mechanism. Basically you have a keyhole going from one side to the other and a single mechanism in the center. If you have a door with more parts you won't be able to fix it, because the parts would have to be imported and no person would pay that unless they are rich, most of my friends would simply buy a new simpler one and install some other lock inside the door is they need extra security.
I made my own comment before I saw yours. I thought it was common to have these type of deadbolts for exterior doors. Every house that I've been to has them, even mobile homes from the 80's and older have them. Weird that DarkFluff has never heard/seen them before.
I didn’t know they were a thing. I’ll definitely talk to my mom about them since we have narrow windows on the sides of our front door which makes it easy for anyone to open it. Never understood why people put those there, it’s like they want their house broken into
@@Yer_blue_angel Huh, honestly interesting. I figured they were put on every exterior door of all houses. I guess I was wrong. My bad. Yeah, I agree with those side windows on doors. Weird thing to put there.
I will happily admit to being a boomer. I’m tall, mostly mild tempered, but I have zero fux to give. If any of these Karens did to me what they did to those young people, they would have to fight. I would throw hands in a minute and still demand that the security camera footage be shown. Maybe a combination of my height, my age, and my eternal resting b***h face is why I’ve never had any problems with a Karen. And yes, I know people who have!
Day Care Story: The easy way for OP to solve their problem is put up No Parking Signs and call the Police every time someone Parks in the driveway and to call a Lawyer to get a Restraining Order against the Parents and Daycare banning them from Parking in OP's Driveway. A more expensive way to stop the Illegal Parking is to install retractable bollards or a gate at the end of the driveway so only people with the remote control or key code can open the barrier and enter the driveway...
@@exiledpain6 I bet you can get a 2x4 and some nails still in the UK. So they may park there, but they may not leave. Lest they pay a parking fee of... say 100 qiud. Oh, you're protesting. Let's make it 200 quid then. Still cheaper than a new set of tires.
Hmmm. I don't think the Daycare themself parked in OP's driveway. As regards to the parents, I believe in order to seek a RO that they would have to be individually named. I think the best low-cost way to go is the signage: "PRIVATE PROPERTY/ NO PARKING or TRESPASSING / VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE".
Last story; Finding a Well run Apartment is like trying to find Hens Teeth. I actually live in one that when you need something repaired, by the time you hang up, Jose, is knocking on your door to fix it, and even the management is Very good!👍😁
OP should have made a deal with a towing company. If a car is my driveway and it doesn't have my plate number then tow it as it's illegally parked on private property. Probably pick up 3 or 4 cars in an afternoon. All the driver has to is wait within sight of the driveway.
That screaming story...omg lol. That was great. I've always been told I have the loudest scream, used to be the caller for a burger joint because I was, in fact, the loudest lol, until they stopped letting me because they thought I was too loud, scaring the customers lol. I can just see the reaction if I was OP in that story with my banshee through a megaphone scream 😂🤣😂🤣
As an elderly woman with failing eyesight, I'm amazed at how many of the clinics and insurance providers use extra fine point (5pt.) type on cards and forms that provide phone numbers. Web site service points are inexcusable for many of us with hand damage /arthritis as well as texting can be painful.
Story 4 is legit. So many “the employees come over” stories have the disadvantage of the employees not knowing the trustworthiness of either party. But when a wild Karen attacks a regular? Bruh, Karen has no power here!!!!
Ruan is a prince among men and deserves all good things that come his way. Keep the positive story end to your videos please. Makes the emotional roller-coaster worth it
I've heard some of these stories before, and I still say, "bitches be crazy." They lay their hands on random people thinking they can commit assault/aggravated assault against an employee, but refuse to accept responsibility by lying, doubling down or run (when police/security are mentioned).
Yeah it's disgusting. They lash out on people that they consider "beneath them". Our female ancestors were treated like property and mistreated and they fought for us to have rights, bank accounts,jobs, a vote etc and this is what you do with their legacy?
Pressing charges on someone is difficult. You first have to wait for police, wait as they take statements and then give your own. This can be quick if you're lucky. Usually it takes an hour or 2. Then if they bring it to court you have to attend. Court is very boring. The whole process can be very time consuming and stressful. This is why people tend not to because it's just a lot of hassle if there is not damage to themselves or their property.
Getting involved in a court case is time consuming and will definitely lead to that person knowing your name, plus a strong likelihood of them not really getting much justice. If there's no injury or property damage, I can definitely see not wanting to bother.
story 1: i would have pressed charges simply because she put hands on op twice, once for ripping the headphones off their head and could have possibly damaged the internal structure and second time when she grabbed their arm and pulled them, that's assault
I started a new job a was doing the usual first week training. We were watching several videos and one of which was about not escalating with customers. The example was a barista and a woman complaining about her drink. They named the woman Karen…I laughed too hard.
I work in a retail environment. I’ve had a couple of incidents where rogue idiots/male Karens have assaulted me. Mind you I’m 6’3” and broad shouldered to give you an idea that I’m fairly imposing. I have one grab me by the back of my shirt and tried backhand me when I told him I don’t work at any Grocery Store. When he swung that hand backward, I caught his arm mid swing and put him on the ground. I put my knee into his back. Little does he know at that point I do Security and have almost 2 decades of experience. I held him there. Told the Grocery Store Manager that I’d just been assaulted and instructed him to call the Police. He had warrants and apparently one of them was over a year old for failure to appear. Sure enough the name sounded familiar and it was someone who I’d detained for theft 18 months prior and that theft was what he failed to appear for. He pled on that charge and pled out on the assault charge. I no longer work for the company I worked for when I apprehended him on behalf of that company. I had just started my new job with a far better company that evening.
Technically, he could put up no parking signs and have the cars towed. After a few times, the parents will get the hint. They don't now, because he literally just moves for them, so not like they are stuck.
I don't usually comment on these stories, I just enjoy them. But I must say the story about Ruan is one of the best I've ever heard. People who have integrity and a sense of personal responsibility are so appreciated. I'm delighted to see Ruan's efforts were so rewarded in the end!
Ruann is DEFINITELY the man for THAT TITLE! That’s the best thing that I’ve ever heard of happening to someone else in that position. Thumbs UP for that man. 👍👍👍
My wife and I had a similar situation to the OP at 4:00, but involving the county jail. We initially thought my wife's cell number was one digit off too, and we kept getting calls from inmates' GFs and wives. We contacted the county jail to find out they'd actually published MY WIFE'S CELL NUMBER AS THE MAIN NUMBER FOR THE JAIL. And of course, they claimed that they couldn't do a thing, and WE had to change her cell number - a number we'd had since the invention of cell phones. We contacted them three times, each time we got blown off, until I decided to "go nuclear" on them. We started telling those who called that due to a mistake in the jail system, their loved one was scheduled for EXECUTION later that morning, and "we're very sorry, but we can't do anything about it" - EXACTLY what we'd been told by the jail. Needless to say, within about 72 hours the calls stopped and the number on the jail's website was corrected. However, not once did anyone apologize to us for the "errors", but of course neither did we.
Oh my goodness, that’s freaking crazy!! 😮😮!! I’ve watched a video that had a similar story to the second story here and yours where that OP’s number was 1 number off from the number the person was trying to call. People just apologize for the misunderstanding and try to not do that again in the future. Then again, some are entitled,stupid, and stubborn.
Seriously........ *the fifth story. WHEN IS EVER OKAY TO DOTHAT? I'm sorry but I am glad the lady got what she got and yeah maybe needs to legitimately get more added. How many other people has she done that to.*
9:31 DarkFluff, your problem was assuming that Karens use logic. Their thought process goes along the lines of "I'm special and everybody else was put on Earth to serve ME. If someboey refuses to serve me, I am permitted to punish them in the way that I see fit.
Story 5) The level of punishment the Karen got will really benefit her children. I doubt Mommy's kids will think her treatment of OP was laughable now.
Put up a sign 'Parking - $500' and print up invoice tickets to slip under windscreens of the idiots who park in your driveway. "Make me my sammich!" Walk over and picks sammich remains up off the floor. Hands it to Karen. "Your sammich ma'am. On the house. NOW, EAT IT! NOW!"
Hey! A+ to Ruan.... Way to go, my friend! I hope you go far in your new job /career. It is nice to see the people who do take the initiative to please others be given the proper chance to advance themselves. 🙂
Assault should ALWAYS include jail time. Even if it's just 6 months. ALWAYS press charges. I also have a rule...if someone touches me (beyond just a tap on the shoulder or something, I'm talking about grabbing), they are getting decked.
I(25F) live in India and once when my parents were out in a different city for someone's wedding, I had the entire house to myself for 1 whole month. Sometime in the middle of the month, some distant relative(from rural place) decided to stop by my house unannounced as they were traveling for 12 hrs and had more 6 hrs left to travel. She rings my bell, I open it and she instantly screams and calls my mom that I am naked in my own house 😂 I was wearing a tank top and shorts - it was summer and burning 35 degrees. Story 3 reminded me of this situation- how do people complain of indecency to be naked/semi-naked or wearing less clothes in your own house 😂😂😂
What gives people the right to attack employees (or others) in the first place. Its like they have this holier than thou mentality that screams "I can do this because I am better than you." I'm just smh.
7:55 I am autistic and tend to be a bit.... protective of my food. Yeeting my lunch may have led to her eating a fist instead of a hoagie. I will never understand why people think they're entitled to attack other people and damage their belongings!
1) Always press charges. 2) Good job OP, glad you got the problem fixed. 3) Too bad you couldn't resolve the issue but nice try. 4) Some people be crazy, it's too bad they didn't just call the police immediately and have her arrested for this behavior. 5) OMG, I'm glad you had the police called, got compensation and a new phone. 6) I'm glad you told her off and glad the manager got involved but just wish security and the police were called. 7) What a wonderful story, so happy for the deserving person.
Now about story 3 : in Thailand, we have weird law that if neighbour "see you naked in your house", you will be charge of nudity and yes, you read it correctly
Regarding the 2nd story: My phone # was one that I ported over to my cell phone about 18 years got. All ten digits are the same that a local Chinese restaurant would use in a slightly different order. For the past 25+ years, I would average at the very most, 5 wrong numbers per week looking for this particular restaurant, whether it's customers or warehouse delivery. I even had someone leave me a very long voice mail detailing what their order was to be. Usually I would tell people, "wrong number" or ask for a food review. Ever since they moved to another town a few years ago, the calls have dwindled down to about one every six months or so.
Ok, I’m a hardened, somewhat cynical guy approaching 70…and I will confess the ending of that last story made my vision a bit blurry. Always nice to see things work out for a good person. 👍
For clarification- I thought she was trying to “steal” My beats. Plus anyone touches me and that’s what they get. I’m a rape survivor and no man or woman touches me unless I say it’s okay. The scratch on my face almost didn’t save me- it was the footage that did it. The lady tried to spin a tale, and it probably would have worked without that footage.
Getting grabbed and/or tripped is assault. If you're grabbed, it's not in a friendly way. There's force behind the grip. That is the time to forcefully break the hold and make sure, during the move, to make it clear you are not happy with being grabbed. And if a bone suddenly breaks in the grabber's arm, tough for them. People who've had problems with Karens thinking they are an employee should make a placard to wear that's say, in bold letters, I DON'T WORK HERE!!.
I had a telephone number for some years when a new beauty shop got a number 2 digits different from mine. I too called the shop and asked them to please deal with their customers or I might have to do something. I had called the telephone company and they told me I could get a new number but it would cost me $50.00. I didn't have the money in those days. The calls just got worse, so I just started making appointments for them. All of the appointments were for Friday at 4:00 p.m. One day someone called and asked who I was. I asked who she wanted. She told me I had better tell her who I was and I said that I had no intention of answering. She told me she was the owner of the damned shop and she wanted to know who it was who was answering her phone. I said I am not in the shop. She called me a liar and told me she was going to slap me when she got down there and I said "knock yourself out, but I am not in your shop. I am the guy who gets dozens of calls a week and am tired of it". The telephone company called the next week and told me my number was going to be changed effective the next day and that it would cost me nothing. I said that I had that number first and that the beauty shop should get the new number. I had many, many friends and family who all had that number and I didn't appreciate the inconvenience. I got my next bill discounted for the inconvenience. BTW, I made about 30 Friday at 4:30 p.m. appointments. Wonder how they made out?
Story 1: if you don’t press charges then the next victim Karen chooses is on YOU. If you have an opportunity to stop the cycle and you do nothing then the metaphorical blood is on YOUR hands. In the words of Kreia: “Apathy is death.”
Chances are you won't get an extra something something in your Subway sandwich, just because they are made in front of you. But rest assured Karen's and Kens, your food will be fucked with in restaurant if you are rude to an employee.
Not in any restaurant worth its weight. Now, there ARE strategies I have seen employed that don't harm anyone but make the lives miserable of Karens and Kens in the wild. Letting the food sit too long in the heated window, which makes all the sauces harden, the potatoes get a weird sheen, and the plate super extra hot. Ten minutes usually will do that. Still safe to eat as it is within the four hour safety window, of course. Making the steak one step more cooked than they ask for. Well done steak? Make it a hockey puck. Too much ice in the drinks. Waiting too long for refills. Taking ages with dessert. All valid ways to ruin the dinner and none of it harms ANYONE. No allergens being used, either. You make them quietly miserable and uncomfortable, whilst serving with a smile the entire time. Not only will they bitch to the manager, they have ruined their meals by being douche nozzles. Never, ever mess with the food directly. Just make sure the food is cold and unappetizing so they must wait for remakes. THAT is how you get petty revenge.
@@jenniferanderson7010 a friend of my brothers worked at a pizza place, a certain NBA player ordered from his place. The employees couldn't stand the guy and rolled their genitals in the dough.
Absolutely loved the last story, beyond ecstatic that Ruan not only got great recognition but also such an overly well deserved reward for being who he is. This will probably be the best thing I hear all day
"Respect your elders" is such bullshit. Nobody automatically deserves respect just for taking a few extra trips around the sun. You want respect, you act respectably.

As my father taught me. Respect is earned not given.
PREACH IT RANDOM GUY ON THE INTERNET
With me : Respect is earned. Not freely given.
That wrinkled old prune needs the stupid slapped out of her. Also, OP should have insisted on cops being called and pressing charges.
Being 65 myself, I would never insist on respect just because I'm older. I was taught better.
That last story...I can't 😭 I love Ruan! He got to that position through honesty and hard work, and he deserves that. Fluff's right, it's hard to find an honest employee who gives a crap about the place/work. It's like a hidden gem.

I think half of these stories are fake. I wouldn't stand there allowing anyone to treat me in any way like some of these stories are told.
The Karen who attacked OP was clearly not just “having a bad day”. The fact that her kids pointed and laughed at OP is very worrisome, since she’s probably taught them to think her physically injuring people is funny. I suspect that this isn’t the first time she’s done something like this; she’s likely been warned and this attack was the last straw. I hope the therapy helps her with her rage issues.
Sometimes even that would not help. Karen's never learn.😝😋😜😁

No, Karen. You don't get to attack people because you're having a bad day. It wouldn't matter if they actually were an employee at the store you're shopping at. Everyone has bad days, but most of them manage to have bad days without attacking people.

"Thanks to you, I'm having a bad day too."
Story 1: Always...ALWAYS...press charges! In addition to stopping Krazy Karen from assaulting someone else that day it (might) teach her a lesson about putting her hands on others.
Story 3: The best way to rectify the situation? Press charges on Karen for trespassing & illegal entry into your home...throw in "Peeping Tom" charges as well just to fuck with her.
Story 6: Again...always press charges! Letting these people get away with doing these things is why they keep doing them. Assault plus a secondary sexual assault will stop that shit.
Story 7: Awesome story! So glad that the little weasel Eddie was canned and a good guy like Ruan got to be the new manager :)
I loved the story about Ruan. It makes you feel good inside. Everybody should be given a chance especially those who work for it. They usually make the best employees and the most loyal. Way to go Ruan.
She said she was having a bad day? I would have told her, "Lady, you think you have been having a bad day? You don't know what a bad day is. Just wait until the police get here and then you will truly know at a bad day is like!"
And I'm sure a lot of the people around her were having a bad day too and they managed to not assault anyone somehow.
I really really wish he had said to the kids as she was being taken out in handcuffs “come on guys isn’t this funny, ur moms being arrested” idc how old they are I am petty like that
Reminds me of one my dad witnessed. He's waiting in line at Burger King, unhappy Karen demands to see the manager, as they messed up her sandwich. Manager comes and she THROWS THE SANDWHICH across the counter and says "I want a refund!" Manager says "ok" walks over to the register calmly counts out her refund then throws it at her.
That's some grade A malicious compliance right there! 😹
I'd have said that only civil people get refunds and then tell her to get out of my store.
@@zackkatian3436 I have been a manager at a BK. That is entirely correct. Its also just a good practices thing for most customer service. Its easier to give them a refund and get them to leave than to have to listen to them arguing and annoying other customers.
Makes me want to go to Burger King. LOL
the amount of times we have had people walk in ask for a refund but they do not have a receipt. We tell them we need the receipt to scan the bar code to get the money out. me is me, EC is entitled Customer They say
EC can you not just open the till and give me the money.
ME Err no that will make the till short. Go home get your receipt then bring it back we will do your refund.
EC You never gave me a receipt.
Then you cannot have a refund,
EC Get me your manager.
Me Manager is not here,
EC full Karen mode GET ME THE MANAGER
ME Right ,Get out your barred
I absolutely love when you end these videos with stories that have a positive ending! I'm so happy for Ruan getting the respect he deserves.
I would have loved to see the actual manager's face when he found out that he was FIRED-and that Ruan has his job now!
It does serve to bring my blood pressure down a few points for certain!
Normally I’d agree, but I don’t think that story is real. There was a story like this a few years ago that was almost exactly the same. The only difference was the names and the type of business.
@dragonrider1549 i mean...i don't care, tbh. It's dumb that someone fabricated a story for reddit karma, but i just wanted to encourage Fluff to keep this format of making the last story positive so the video ends on a happy note.
I felt the same after hearing this. I was so excited for Ruan.
4th story (Subway Shop): The way she took off so fast when she heard the word: Police, makes me wonder if she was already on Parole or Probation for doing similar stunts to other people and whatever goods they had....
Good job Ruan!!! So nice to hear when a good person's deeds get acknowledged.
Ok so I laughed my head off at these stories. The naked college student is just hilarious! Brilliant.
Aren't most people naked while taking a shower ?
Showering wearing clothing is just weird.
I'm glad a couple people pressed charges but the embarrassment alone won't stop a Karen. They always need to have charges pressed against them. They may not stop them right away but if it is done enough times or the punishment for what they did is bad enough like in Story 5 I think they will finally learn.
I think one of the worst parts about the headphone removing thing that Karens do is: what if someone with anxiety, a high stress issue, a social disorder, or something similar were using music, audiobooks, etc. to stay calm and regulate their emotions while shopping? These people could be sent into a panic attack, heart attack(high stress+possible heart problems), asthma attack(if they have asthma, I’ve heard sudden stress or fear can cause them sometimes), a melt down, etc. and probably still have to deal with an angry, delusional asshole who thinks they’re entitled to put their nasty hands on others.
I always have my AirPods in when I go anywhere in public. Now of course I don’t go alone since I’m 12, so I do feel safer not paying much attention to my surroundings. I’ve been almost kidnapped twice which has really spiked my anxiety, I’m planning on getting a service dog soon to help prevent me from having anxiety attacks. I panic when people get close to me, especially from behind. The perk of AirPods is that Karens can’t rip them out of my ears since they wouldn’t even know
Respect for your elders should not be automatic. It should be earned based on the parents' performance.
Words of a wise man. Carlin.
Especially when said elders do not give said respect back to those younger than them. Respect is a TWO-WAY street.
Story 6: I would bet you $10 that if it was a dude yanking on a chick's lanyard directly in front of her crotch that the entire story would have gone *very* differently.
You wouldn't lose anything on that bet, I'm sure.
No takers on that bet Vol. 🤣
Suckers bet and you know it
Oh, but assaulting a man is funny. You see, women CAN'T abuse a man. Abuse is something men do to women and kids. If you don't believe me, talk to any man who went public about being abused by a woman. It never goes well. People don't give a damn about what happens to a man.
@@wfcoaker1398 After all, remember how long it took Depp to find a sliver of justice with hundreds of pieces of evidence, but how quick they fired him over allegations.
Oh, that last story was so heart-warming that I can't stop smiling. What a great way to end my long work week! Thanks, Guys. 🐏❤
About 25 years ago I was in a large grocery store. The next isle over had to women arguing loudly, and a kid screaming. I already had a headache, and they weren't helping it. I looked up at the ceiling and yelled, "Shut the hell up, right now!" The entire store went quiet. My drill instructor would have been proud of the volume.
A Karen threaten to hurt me? I would smile and tell her, "My Uncle Sam taught me to kill. With my bare hands. Are you ready to see if I can still do it?"
I'm almost getting the giggles over imagining that, right after the store went silent, you realised that "A Walk In The Black Forest" was playing over the store PA system. :D (the classic and original elevator music) Somehow, that contrast amuses me.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 It was a old Winn-Dixie store, and they didn't play background music. It was dead silent for almost a minute, and then the noise was still a lot lower than normal. The kid and two women had stopped making any noise. another minute passed, then they walked past the end of the aisle. They took a quick look at me, but they didn't say a word as they scurried off.
They taught you to yell quite loudly in Basic, to be able to communicate on a battlefield. If I had been outside you could have heard me quite a distance but inside, it bounced off every hard surface in the store. If I wasn't in so much pain, I would have been laughing at the results. 😀
@@michaelterrell Well, I hope that the pain was only temporary.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 It took a couple days to completely be rid of that headache. I spent a lot of time in a dark room because daylight was painful.
This made me "evil laugh". 😈
Thanks for your service and the laugh!
Story 6: Never lay hands on someone, employee or not. Didn't elementary schools teach people to keep their hands to themselves?
that inplay that they even went to school to begin with
Apparently some people didn't play attention
Karens never went there. It was too hard for them. To quote from an old Wile E Coyote vs Bugs Bunny cartoon, they could hardly pass the entrance examinations for kindergarten.
It's a good way to get hurt one way or another, especially if they damage something.
Karen's report card always said "Doesn't play well with others."
Last Story: We may not have been there, but we just watched someone's life improve drastically in the blink of an eye!
Congratulations Ruan on a job well acquired, and one you're good at.
It’s so nice to hear a happy ending every once in a while… So happy for Ruan! We need more people like him… especially where I live!
OP used Screech and Karen's defense sharply fell. It's super effective
Underrated comment
I love the last story with Ruan. So few people get acknowledged for their true worth.
What makes the last story even better is how, in all of this, the old manager got his lazy butt fired. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he got the news that he was being replaced by his janitor.
This video again goes from crazy to perfect. "You're not the manager? Well, you are now!"
Love that last story! Always better to see a good guy get the reward he deserves then and bad one get punished. I imagine the lazy manager got displaced from his job as a result too though.
The last story is probably the best reddit story I've ever had the pleasure of listening to
We had a double cylinder lock in one of my childhood homes. It was the front door. It definitely helped us feel more secure. You can't easily bump them or break a window on the door to unlock it. I'd guess the one they had was one that automatically locked when the door closes.
Back in the day (around the transition from skeleton key/lever locks) latches were often linked in the same mechanism as a deadbolt, with some buttons on the face between the two that turn the 'auto bolt' function on and off. My grandparents house had that kind of lock on the front door, but was not double tumbler.
They are pretty common in many countries. Here in Argentina having a door that can be unlocked without a key from the inside is reaaaaaally weird. I will say 99.9% of doors need a key to be unlocked from the inside. Why you ask? Well is a cheaper and simpler mechanism. Basically you have a keyhole going from one side to the other and a single mechanism in the center. If you have a door with more parts you won't be able to fix it, because the parts would have to be imported and no person would pay that unless they are rich, most of my friends would simply buy a new simpler one and install some other lock inside the door is they need extra security.
I made my own comment before I saw yours. I thought it was common to have these type of deadbolts for exterior doors. Every house that I've been to has them, even mobile homes from the 80's and older have them. Weird that DarkFluff has never heard/seen them before.
I didn’t know they were a thing. I’ll definitely talk to my mom about them since we have narrow windows on the sides of our front door which makes it easy for anyone to open it. Never understood why people put those there, it’s like they want their house broken into
@@Yer_blue_angel Huh, honestly interesting. I figured they were put on every exterior door of all houses. I guess I was wrong. My bad.
Yeah, I agree with those side windows on doors. Weird thing to put there.
I will happily admit to being a boomer. I’m tall, mostly mild tempered, but I have zero fux to give. If any of these Karens did to me what they did to those young people, they would have to fight. I would throw hands in a minute and still demand that the security camera footage be shown. Maybe a combination of my height, my age, and my eternal resting b***h face is why I’ve never had any problems with a Karen. And yes, I know people who have!
Karens avoid you because you will fight back.
Day Care Story: The easy way for OP to solve their problem is put up No Parking Signs and call the Police every time someone Parks in the driveway and to call a Lawyer to get a Restraining Order against the Parents and Daycare banning them from Parking in OP's Driveway.
A more expensive way to stop the Illegal Parking is to install retractable bollards or a gate at the end of the driveway so only people with the remote control or key code can open the barrier and enter the driveway...
Depends where the story takes place, In the UK there's basically nothing you can do about people parking in your driveway.
@@exiledpain6 I bet you can get a 2x4 and some nails still in the UK. So they may park there, but they may not leave. Lest they pay a parking fee of... say 100 qiud. Oh, you're protesting. Let's make it 200 quid then. Still cheaper than a new set of tires.
Hmmm. I don't think the Daycare themself parked in OP's driveway. As regards to the parents, I believe in order to seek a RO that they would have to be individually named. I think the best low-cost way to go is the signage: "PRIVATE PROPERTY/ NO PARKING or TRESPASSING / VIOLATORS WILL BE TOWED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE".
Last story; Finding a Well run Apartment is like trying to find Hens Teeth. I actually live in one that when you need something repaired, by the time you hang up, Jose, is knocking on your door to fix it, and even the management is Very good!👍😁
OMG that last story is freaking awesome and absolutely warranted for the pride Ruan took in his job! Damn I love storied like that!
OP should have made a deal with a towing company. If a car is my driveway and it doesn't have my plate number then tow it as it's illegally parked on private property. Probably pick up 3 or 4 cars in an afternoon. All the driver has to is wait within sight of the driveway.
That screaming story...omg lol. That was great. I've always been told I have the loudest scream, used to be the caller for a burger joint because I was, in fact, the loudest lol, until they stopped letting me because they thought I was too loud, scaring the customers lol. I can just see the reaction if I was OP in that story with my banshee through a megaphone scream 😂🤣😂🤣
As an elderly woman with failing eyesight, I'm amazed at how many of the clinics and insurance providers use extra fine point (5pt.) type on cards and forms that provide phone numbers. Web site service points are inexcusable for many of us with hand damage /arthritis as well as texting can be painful.
Story 4 is legit. So many “the employees come over” stories have the disadvantage of the employees not knowing the trustworthiness of either party. But when a wild Karen attacks a regular? Bruh, Karen has no power here!!!!
someone pulling my earphones out and breaking my phone also would need a emergency dentist visit.
Ruan is a prince among men and deserves all good things that come his way. Keep the positive story end to your videos please. Makes the emotional roller-coaster worth it
I've heard some of these stories before, and I still say, "bitches be crazy." They lay their hands on random people thinking they can commit assault/aggravated assault against an employee, but refuse to accept responsibility by lying, doubling down or run (when police/security are mentioned).
Yeah it's disgusting. They lash out on people that they consider "beneath them". Our female ancestors were treated like property and mistreated and they fought for us to have rights, bank accounts,jobs, a vote etc and this is what you do with their legacy?
Thank God for cctv. It really helps settle things in many cases.📹
I don't get why people seem to barely ever press charges after a Karen went crazy on them. That'd be so much fun!
Pressing charges on someone is difficult. You first have to wait for police, wait as they take statements and then give your own. This can be quick if you're lucky. Usually it takes an hour or 2. Then if they bring it to court you have to attend. Court is very boring. The whole process can be very time consuming and stressful. This is why people tend not to because it's just a lot of hassle if there is not damage to themselves or their property.
i know right. also any damages, cause the said thing might be working atm, but you don't know if it will work the day after
I don't understand why none of these stories end with Karen getting punched in the nose. It's got to happen some time.
Getting involved in a court case is time consuming and will definitely lead to that person knowing your name, plus a strong likelihood of them not really getting much justice. If there's no injury or property damage, I can definitely see not wanting to bother.
Exactly, it is the only way that they will learn.
story 1: i would have pressed charges simply because she put hands on op twice, once for ripping the headphones off their head and could have possibly damaged the internal structure and second time when she grabbed their arm and pulled them, that's assault
That last story was so wonderfully wholesome! I love it when good people get rewarded.
I am sooo glad for Ruan 🥰💕🎉 he is definitely deserving the managers job. Wow. Bless you 🙏
People who are rude and abusive to service workers need to watch the movie 'Waiting' so they can see what happens behind the scenes.
Hehehehehe....yup!
I would've gone for the charges on top of the humiliation. No mercy for Karens.
I started a new job a was doing the usual first week training. We were watching several videos and one of which was about not escalating with customers. The example was a barista and a woman complaining about her drink. They named the woman Karen…I laughed too hard.
I work in a retail environment. I’ve had a couple of incidents where rogue idiots/male Karens have assaulted me. Mind you I’m 6’3” and broad shouldered to give you an idea that I’m fairly imposing. I have one grab me by the back of my shirt and tried backhand me when I told him I don’t work at any Grocery Store. When he swung that hand backward, I caught his arm mid swing and put him on the ground. I put my knee into his back. Little does he know at that point I do Security and have almost 2 decades of experience. I held him there. Told the Grocery Store Manager that I’d just been assaulted and instructed him to call the Police. He had warrants and apparently one of them was over a year old for failure to appear. Sure enough the name sounded familiar and it was someone who I’d detained for theft 18 months prior and that theft was what he failed to appear for. He pled on that charge and pled out on the assault charge. I no longer work for the company I worked for when I apprehended him on behalf of that company. I had just started my new job with a far better company that evening.
*Yes, OP in story 6 was correct. Being Scared is a phenomenal RUclips channel. One of my very favorites.*
Technically, he could put up no parking signs and have the cars towed. After a few times, the parents will get the hint. They don't now, because he literally just moves for them, so not like they are stuck.
Or he could put up a gate or something....
I don't usually comment on these stories, I just enjoy them. But I must say the story about Ruan is one of the best I've ever heard. People who have integrity and a sense of personal responsibility are so appreciated. I'm delighted to see Ruan's efforts were so rewarded in the end!
Ruann is DEFINITELY the man for THAT TITLE! That’s the best thing that I’ve ever heard of happening to someone else in that position. Thumbs UP for that man. 👍👍👍
Ruan sounds like one of the coolest guys ever.
My wife and I had a similar situation to the OP at 4:00, but involving the county jail. We initially thought my wife's cell number was one digit off too, and we kept getting calls from inmates' GFs and wives. We contacted the county jail to find out they'd actually published MY WIFE'S CELL NUMBER AS THE MAIN NUMBER FOR THE JAIL. And of course, they claimed that they couldn't do a thing, and WE had to change her cell number - a number we'd had since the invention of cell phones. We contacted them three times, each time we got blown off, until I decided to "go nuclear" on them. We started telling those who called that due to a mistake in the jail system, their loved one was scheduled for EXECUTION later that morning, and "we're very sorry, but we can't do anything about it" - EXACTLY what we'd been told by the jail. Needless to say, within about 72 hours the calls stopped and the number on the jail's website was corrected. However, not once did anyone apologize to us for the "errors", but of course neither did we.
Oh my goodness, that’s freaking crazy!! 😮😮!! I’ve watched a video that had a similar story to the second story here and yours where that OP’s number was 1 number off from the number the person was trying to call. People just apologize for the misunderstanding and try to not do that again in the future. Then again, some are entitled,stupid, and stubborn.
Seriously........ *the fifth story. WHEN IS EVER OKAY TO DOTHAT? I'm sorry but I am glad the lady got what she got and yeah maybe needs to legitimately get more added. How many other people has she done that to.*
So Darkfluff, do you ever get any stories where the person justifiably just punches a Karen in self defense? If so, I'd like to hear them.
You should find the story about Pocket. She wrecked a Karen.
@@crissytracy8517 : Do you have a link?
Or shot dead
9:31 DarkFluff, your problem was assuming that Karens use logic. Their thought process goes along the lines of "I'm special and everybody else was put on Earth to serve ME. If someboey refuses to serve me, I am permitted to punish them in the way that I see fit.
Story 5) The level of punishment the Karen got will really benefit her children. I doubt Mommy's kids will think her treatment of OP was laughable now.
Put up a sign 'Parking - $500' and print up invoice tickets to slip under windscreens of the idiots who park in your driveway.
"Make me my sammich!"
Walk over and picks sammich remains up off the floor. Hands it to Karen.
"Your sammich ma'am. On the house. NOW, EAT IT! NOW!"
Hey! A+ to Ruan.... Way to go, my friend! I hope you go far in your new job /career. It is nice to see the people who do take the initiative to please others be given the proper chance to advance themselves. 🙂
What a way to bring it home with a great story DarkFluff. Thanks for everything as always Stevie.
That 1st one with the lady and the kids, thank you sir for teaching the children that there are consequences for bad behavior!
Assault should ALWAYS include jail time. Even if it's just 6 months. ALWAYS press charges. I also have a rule...if someone touches me (beyond just a tap on the shoulder or something, I'm talking about grabbing), they are getting decked.
That last story, while I’ve heard it before, is so uplifting. I feel so happy for that guy and am glad that he got the managerial position!!
I(25F) live in India and once when my parents were out in a different city for someone's wedding, I had the entire house to myself for 1 whole month. Sometime in the middle of the month, some distant relative(from rural place) decided to stop by my house unannounced as they were traveling for 12 hrs and had more 6 hrs left to travel. She rings my bell, I open it and she instantly screams and calls my mom that I am naked in my own house 😂 I was wearing a tank top and shorts - it was summer and burning 35 degrees. Story 3 reminded me of this situation- how do people complain of indecency to be naked/semi-naked or wearing less clothes in your own house 😂😂😂
We had the phone # problem but it was the vet. Foaling season was a pain. Luckily he no longer works with horses.
just touching somebody can be considered assault in most states!!! here in Texas it can be a felony in some cases!!
The last story just renewed my faith in humanity!💖💖💖
I bet Eddie regrets skipping out on that Appointment...
Not that showing up likely would have saved his job...
What gives people the right to attack employees (or others) in the first place. Its like they have this holier than thou mentality that screams "I can do this because I am better than you." I'm just smh.
7:55 I am autistic and tend to be a bit.... protective of my food. Yeeting my lunch may have led to her eating a fist instead of a hoagie.
I will never understand why people think they're entitled to attack other people and damage their belongings!
Story 4: I might've lost my composure if I was in that situation, I hate it when people mess with someone else's food!!!
Yeah, if that had been me, Karen would have gotten a free ride on the wa-wa wagon
I would have picked that sandwich up off the floor and force fed it to her. She did ask for one, didn't she?
1) Always press charges.
2) Good job OP, glad you got the problem fixed.
3) Too bad you couldn't resolve the issue but nice try.
4) Some people be crazy, it's too bad they didn't just call the police immediately and have her arrested for this behavior.
5) OMG, I'm glad you had the police called, got compensation and a new phone.
6) I'm glad you told her off and glad the manager got involved but just wish security and the police were called.
7) What a wonderful story, so happy for the deserving person.
Now about story 3 : in Thailand, we have weird law that if neighbour "see you naked in your house", you will be charge of nudity
and yes, you read it correctly
The sandwich-throwing Karen: she would get "something something" from me right there. A frying pan. In her face.
That last story.... Absolutely FANTASTIC
Regarding the 2nd story: My phone # was one that I ported over to my cell phone about 18 years got. All ten digits are the same that a local Chinese restaurant would use in a slightly different order. For the past 25+ years, I would average at the very most, 5 wrong numbers per week looking for this particular restaurant, whether it's customers or warehouse delivery. I even had someone leave me a very long voice mail detailing what their order was to be. Usually I would tell people, "wrong number" or ask for a food review. Ever since they moved to another town a few years ago, the calls have dwindled down to about one every six months or so.
I used to work in a group home. We had those double cylinder locks in the house to keep residents from running away.
holy crap! Ruan is the man and someone's cutting onions in here. probably the best story I've heard here thus far.
Always press charges. Otherwise they won't learn.
Jeez, people, sue these people!
I hope that Karen's kids learned not to snigger at violence, and that it doesn't pay to do such things themselves.
Love that Ryan was recognized for his hard work!
Ok, I’m a hardened, somewhat cynical guy approaching 70…and I will confess the ending of that last story made my vision a bit blurry. Always nice to see things work out for a good person. 👍
"There probably someone with a large butterfly net looking for this woman" Just loved how you said that!!
The last story is awesome! Ruan was aces up!
For clarification- I thought she was trying to “steal”
My beats. Plus anyone touches me and that’s what they get. I’m a rape survivor and no man or woman touches me unless I say it’s okay. The scratch on my face almost didn’t save me- it was the footage that did it. The lady tried to spin a tale, and it probably would have worked without that footage.
Getting grabbed and/or tripped is assault. If you're grabbed, it's not in a friendly way. There's force behind the grip. That is the time to forcefully break the hold and make sure, during the move, to make it clear you are not happy with being grabbed. And if a bone suddenly breaks in the grabber's arm, tough for them.
People who've had problems with Karens thinking they are an employee should make a placard to wear that's say, in bold letters, I DON'T WORK HERE!!.
Story 2: When OP said the issue was that their phone numbers were simular
my thoughts: I've seen enough Prorevenge to know where this is going
I had a telephone number for some years when a new beauty shop got a number 2 digits different from mine. I too called the shop and asked them to please deal with their customers or I might have to do something. I had called the telephone company and they told me I could get a new number but it would cost me $50.00. I didn't have the money in those days. The calls just got worse, so I just started making appointments for them. All of the appointments were for Friday at 4:00 p.m. One day someone called and asked who I was. I asked who she wanted. She told me I had better tell her who I was and I said that I had no intention of answering. She told me she was the owner of the damned shop and she wanted to know who it was who was answering her phone. I said I am not in the shop. She called me a liar and told me she was going to slap me when she got down there and I said "knock yourself out, but I am not in your shop. I am the guy who gets dozens of calls a week and am tired of it". The telephone company called the next week and told me my number was going to be changed effective the next day and that it would cost me nothing. I said that I had that number first and that the beauty shop should get the new number. I had many, many friends and family who all had that number and I didn't appreciate the inconvenience. I got my next bill discounted for the inconvenience. BTW, I made about 30 Friday at 4:30 p.m. appointments. Wonder how they made out?
Always press charges. It's the only way they learn anything.
When the Karen said she wanted a sandwich the employee should have told her “you can have the one on the floor and then you can leave”
Story 1: if you don’t press charges then the next victim Karen chooses is on YOU. If you have an opportunity to stop the cycle and you do nothing then the metaphorical blood is on YOUR hands. In the words of Kreia: “Apathy is death.”
Chances are you won't get an extra something something in your Subway sandwich, just because they are made in front of you.
But rest assured Karen's and Kens, your food will be fucked with in restaurant if you are rude to an employee.
Not in any restaurant worth its weight. Now, there ARE strategies I have seen employed that don't harm anyone but make the lives miserable of Karens and Kens in the wild. Letting the food sit too long in the heated window, which makes all the sauces harden, the potatoes get a weird sheen, and the plate super extra hot. Ten minutes usually will do that. Still safe to eat as it is within the four hour safety window, of course. Making the steak one step more cooked than they ask for. Well done steak? Make it a hockey puck. Too much ice in the drinks. Waiting too long for refills. Taking ages with dessert. All valid ways to ruin the dinner and none of it harms ANYONE. No allergens being used, either. You make them quietly miserable and uncomfortable, whilst serving with a smile the entire time. Not only will they bitch to the manager, they have ruined their meals by being douche nozzles. Never, ever mess with the food directly. Just make sure the food is cold and unappetizing so they must wait for remakes. THAT is how you get petty revenge.
@@jenniferanderson7010 a friend of my brothers worked at a pizza place, a certain NBA player ordered from his place. The employees couldn't stand the guy and rolled their genitals in the dough.
I really love the last story. Good for you Ruan! And hopefully he didn't have his ego exploded.
I love that Ruan story. It makes me smile.
Absolutely loved the last story, beyond ecstatic that Ruan not only got great recognition but also such an overly well deserved reward for being who he is. This will probably be the best thing I hear all day
