Last story: Director wanted a good looking manager he could take for naughty weekend dates. I wonder why OP stayed so long tolerating humiliation after humiliation from the Karen. He could have started his own business full time, much earlier! Joke: Male manager calls a shrink pal to help him do a professional hire. 3 girls are interviewed by them for the PA job. Shrink asks a trick Q: what is 1 and 1? #1: 2 #2: 11 #3: 2 or 11 Shrink says hire the third, she is better than the other 2 Boss says I will hire #2. Why? She has the best legs!
I'm not big on anime in general (being 44 might have something to do with that), but the burn that manager got in the first story was totally worth it.
Had a district manager years ago like the IT one, except she got fired for making too many false comments. One was trying to fire 3 staff for insubordination, saying they refused to clean the bathroom which not only was not their job, there was no bathroom in our building to begin with. The other was her trying to get one of those employees arrested for sexual harassment, looking in on her when she was supposedly using this bathroom that did not exist which was what got her fired. When pd came to arrest the employee and I found out why, took them on a tour of the entire 1 floor building to show them no such place existed and that this woman was making things up. When she showed up the officer asked her to show him this supposed bathroom this all took place with her saying she cant take them there as the area was staff only. The daggers she shot me when I said Id be happy to take them, her not knowing they went on tour earlier. I even threw in can only imagine how bad this bathroom smelled by now since no other staff was able to find it to clean. Officers left with the district manager instead, and I got a call at night she was no longer employed, and if she shows up on premises, she was to be arrested. Reason our building had no bathrooms, which was corrected after I left, was due to a really bad engineering error. We had a building next to us that was identical to ours, and found out it was supposed to be part of our building, but somehow when it was being built, no one took into account that there was or would be a road being built, so in the end it was two buildings, but no correction to add bathrooms to ours. We did have a cafeteria, in which plenty of staff used to say should be converted to a bathroom since the food served there tasted like, well you get it ;)
Hi RedWheel hope you are well. Thanks for the storytelling time. Hey everyone hope you are all well to. Please stay safe all who reads this.🏴😷😁👍. Have a wonderful day everyone
I am a 46 year old man who does a RUclips show with a friend about anime, collects anime (mainly Gundam and other big robots), and have a very large anime ost collection.... I may have a problem. Love the stories! Keep it up!!!
Anime fan and collector at age 62. (I'm sure not ready to be "old", dang). And yes, I too have a modest collection of some select anime figurines. I used to be a pretty big fan of some top mainstream "cop" shows on network TV (NO interest in "comedies" or "reality" shows). One day while watching one of my favorite shows I realized that if any cop (at least at most law enforcement agencies) behaved like too many of the characters on most cop shows behaved, they'd be gone, almost instantly. Ok, I get that without drama, nobody would watch most of the shows. I don't have a problem with that, but, when you are 2-3 steps ahead of the show in your mind, maybe it's just too much repeat or stale story lines. But still, if it's entertaining... At one point when I was many, many, years younger I was a reserve deputy sheriff (I was but a puppy at the time), and have worked with/around law enforcement agencies at various other times in my life. So, I have a feel for what REAL police/LEO work is like. And at some point, at least for me, the story lines of the major broadcast networks shows just got, uh, how to put it, "dis-interesting" (?) and, well, wasn't really "entertaining" anymore. I guess it comes down to, if I'm going to watch "pretend" stuff, I might as well watch pretend stuff with good story lines. Besides, I kind of always have been a bit of a "nerd" with a fondness for dragons, magic, elves, etc. and science fiction/fantasy so making a move to anime for my nightly entertainment just seemed to be an "organic" transition. I also want to add that the often misconstrued stereo type of adult (especially male) anime fans doesn't do the people or the genre any favors. A lot of us, like me, also have interests in a lot of more "mainstream" endeavors. For instance, muscle cars (have a couple of projects) photography, electronics/computers, home improvement, and I have a nice, later model upscale high horsepower import sedan (says AMG on the trunk for those that are interested). Sure would be nice to find a group of similar people that is apolitical to get in with. Politics these days seems to ruin everything it touches. And if I had to pick a waifu, Lalei La Lalena. Just gotta love her inquisitive nature and her intellect. Too bad she's just a figment of a writers imagination.
1 question, do you have Shin, Kira and Athrun's gundams? Please say yes I love them from seed/seed destiny. I want to dress up as Lacus (Real Lacus not Meer) for cosplay soon.
Hmm, there's nothing odd about adults liking cartoons. "Merrie Melodies" and "Looney Tunes" were used as war propaganda back in World War II and were acting as morale boosters to soldiers. It's also part of the usual entertainment back in those days. I'm in my 40s and I am keeping a humble collection of Gundams and manga, as well as watching anime.
I agree. There are lots of fun anime and plenty of others as well. They are for everyone, if you can find something you like, so enjoy. And I remember all of the Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies,and many many more. Totally enjoyable!
Possibly the first "Graphic Novel" I ever saw (the one which practically invented the term) was ElfQuest by Wendy and Richard Pini (still available online at elfquest.com last I knew). What struck me about it was that it was a sophisticated story told through some of the most gorgeously detailed artwork I've ever seen. In an era where most "comic book" stories involved the standard "action" with "good vs evil" as the driver, ElfQuest had "knowledge vs ignorance" as its basis with "action" and "good vs evil" being incidental to and resulting from the plot rather than being the whole purpose of the story. (At least, through most of the story. Later issues were still nice but in most people's opinions, they departed from the original theme thus somewhat spoiling the genre).
Well there's so much variety in anime, once you get past the "it's just a cartoon" mentality, you realize there's stuff in there for all ages (and I'm old enough to remember that one of my local videos stores (god I AM old) had La Blue Girl, Vampire Hunter D, Fist of the North Star, and Hamtaro all lined up in the "Special interest" section).
@@cindydott452 Fun, isn't it? Joking aside the fact that it was side by wide with Hamtaro of all things showed that they really didn't understand what they were putting there.
My father used to do an audit for a small bookbinding company in London. One year they were having cash flow problems and having landed a big job contract were in the position where the boss asked the workers for one weeks grace on their wages, to fulfill a previous contract and thus having gotten the owed money would pay them all the next week with a bonus to make up for inconvenience. The workers said NO they wouldn't do that. Consequences, they were not paid but laid off. The company went into administration and the next week saw men come into the little bindery with sledge hammers and destroy all presses and machinery for scrap. This happened in 1958.
That contrasts with a company I heard of (Australian, I believe) which said much the same thing to their workers but the workers, including managers, agreed to take pay cuts and cuts to benefits. The company managed to get back on its feet and repaid all workers all of their back pay and benefits. At least, that's what I heard.
@@Harry-zz2oh Didn't like their management, or didn't trust their management to make it right. I don't mind the leadership at my job, I just don't trust them to make up short pay or a bounced paycheck. I'd be surprised if the board of directors didn't try to pocket the difference company-wide, being a continent away and subsequently immune to the physical consequences of such an action.
I've been trained in the same field as that dude in the last story. Even with less than a few years of experience, I can honestly claim that one does not simply survive IT acting like they know stuff. Either work as a team or you're swimming alone. Crab mentality doesn't work either for both clients and management are like sharks in this line of work.
Oh yes, I started out working with an IBM 360-60, then went on to working with PCs. One of my sons is a computer engineer working for one of the Big IT firms. He works in Silicon Valley so he is well paid. IT is a real challenge but very interesting for those who can understand it.
most valuable lesson i learned, working at vdot. as a customer, if you file a claim to vdot for some alleged damage (real or not) to your vehicle or property, as long as it's less than $700 they'll stroke you a check rather than go to court. "break down" and get towed by emergency crew from a tunnel? "my car got scratched, paint shop says $600". free money for you!

TO THE OP FOR HELPING THAT AWESOME LADY! GOOD SHOW! (IT'S TOO BAD THAT THE ACTUAL MANAGER/EMPLOYEE OF THE SHOP IN AN ANIME-NAZI THOUGH. It serves her right that you would send them to another store where their business would actually be appreciated I don't understand some people like yeah you work in the store you're so much cooler than the average human being like seriously you may watch more anime than a regular person it does not make you a super hero even though you may dress like one when no one's watching LOL
That first story reminds me of something that happened to me once years ago. I like comic book type subjects, but I hadn't done any regular comic reading since the days of Sonic Comics as a kid. (lotsa manga since then tho) There are so many series, many of them years if not decades into their runs, so I had no real clue where to start. I walked into a comic store and it was bad from the start. As I came in, I saw someone on each side of the counter having a conversation. They blankly looked at me, said nothing, then went back to their conversation. I see a couple long rows of shelves on a nearby wall with what looks like comics, but there were several problems: 1 The shelves were not too high to reach, but high enough to be inconvenient. 2 There were several gaming table ends up against the same wall, so you had to reach around them. 3 The comics were so tightly layered you could not see the covers at ALL. I glanced helplessly over at the counter, then randomly tried pulling one out here and there before I started feeling really awkward and ended up leaving. I've heard of people who run comic shops purely as a hobby for themselves and not to actually do business, and I think that was one of them. Fuck you guys.
@@Cuaedria Those are becoming a very special order these days, but they are about the only printers which will print multiple copy documents like invoices.
Companies need to make a rule that says anytime a manager or executive goes outside of the standard procedure to hire someone that they are personally responsible for any of their mistakes for their first year working there. Put an end to nepotism and fake resumes all at once.
That last story manager reminds of people who cut off their nose to spite their face. Don't you just love people who end up shooting themselves in the foot?
There should be a subreddit about IT, with as many of these I've seen, it should be it's own subject. I'm a loyal lurker here and I watch every day+. Thank you RedWheel for your efforts to keep us entertained. Great work! 💨💥💫
I like anime myself. One anime online game I like is Ragnarok online. They used to and in some ways still are fee based. After I and thousand others got ripped off by Gravity who offered to transfer our accounts from beta to final if we prepayed, discovered they were all stripped. Being outside the USA they got away with it except for ones like myself who did charge backs. Few years later, emulators sprang up so now a days I run my own server with friends only with our rules and no chance of getting ripped off or trolled.

On that IT story, a while back my brother was looking at computers at a...lets say Stapler's Are Us and my brother asked about the RAM of one of the computers. The man said, 'oh its 500 Gigs'. My brother pauses and looks at the guy funny and says, 'No, the RAM, not the hard drive space' to which the man says, 'those are the same thing.' yeeeeaaaah....no they're not, and anyone who's been hired to sell computers should know that. Worse when my brother said they were definitely not the same thing the guy argued with him. At that point my brother decided _not_ to buy a computer there.
Did they not have HR or such at the time the last story happened? How could the manager be so blatant in her attempts to get rid of a good employee yet not get in any trouble at all? She was shown to have lied and made stuff up, yet it’s fine?
The manager that hired her is probably covering for her and shielding her from HR or he hired HR to and they are just as incompetent at their job and/or he's telling them he's got it handled to ignore everything about her.
First story, What section of Reddit is the opposite of r/idontworkherelady? I do want to know about the story of 'real lazy employee' too. You know, life is two side of a coin, good and bad. Certainly if there is a good and bad costumer, there should be a good and employee.
I am a Computer Science Major with minimal knowledge of the field, and yet I cringe at every step of the IT story. "She did not know the difference between PC and Mac......" - o_o oh no.... "she hired a Cobol programmer..." O__O; OH NOOOOOOOO *context...programmers stopped using Cobol (at least in mass) at that point in computer programming history*
Final Story, for a final bit of company revenge you should contact that companies HR department and lawyers and inform them of her Falsifying her employment application ( confessed while drunk you could tell them). any competent lawyer and HR director would then have a responsibility to look into the claim. then finding this out fire both of them, him for highering her and not checking and her for forgery. then sue them both for the companies losses during her "Employment".
The problem is he hired her. How do we know he didnt hire one or more HR to look the other way or paid them to look the other way. As someone else pointed out she never got into trouble for all the false accusations she made against OP. So he had to have had someone on the inside of HR covering for her.
Clearly Good Granny and Good Mom had NO idea what Anime is since MOST Anime is aimed at an Adult Audience... A lot of it is (or bloody well should be) R Rated for that matter...
I think its best not to tell them theur 22 year old watches violent anime. I have nit and from what I've heard about it wont watch Attack on Titan but have heard it's bloody and possibly gorey. Even though he's an adult something tells me mom and grandma would be shocked amd horrified that "cartoons" like anime can be that violent. I'm surprised that they didn't question him at mentioning Death Note that I have seen season 1 of. Just because of the title alone. Although they probably didn't register it much with the rest he mentioned.
8:14 the second it was proven that she was making up stuff in that meeting you should have filed a complaint for harassment and a hostile work environment. Put her making up s*** about you on record and then upper management will never take anything she says about you seriously again and if they do, and fire you for it you can sue the f*** out of them.
As to the first story that do called manager shouldn't be a manager or employee if that buisness. As to the second story that know nothing idiot ended up doing op a favor. It's is disturbing how these idiots get away with it for so long and still have a job.
Morning Redwheel. Late start for me. I try only to leave messages if Im on early enough for you to see them before it gets burried under 10k comments lol.
On whether its ok to love cartoons as an adult or not.... to that I say, my grandfather watched cartoons to the day he died and I will do the same. Regardless of the answer.
I love anime and I'm 35. And why would you snub those people that are in your store looking for the things that you have on your shelves? You want an alienate everybody fine let's go here.
An adult liking cartoons / anime? How unusual. (I'm only 64, but I'm sure when I grow up I'll put such childish things behind me.) I wonder sometimes where they find the children with the skills to produce, direct, write, animate, and voice these things. It's hard to imagine any adult liking such jobs.
@@rap3208 yep can you say hello kitty? As a cat lover i hated seeing the image of hello kitty, as a kid in the late 70s and 80s i saw it plastered all of the school yard.
how angry it makes me that people think anime and manga are for children ..., there are so many anime with adult stories, some even make you cry from sadness, better than many movies or normal programs
Cartoons are just anime in different languages.. if it’s not ‘real’ people acting, it’s either cartoons/anime or CGI, at least in my opinion. I understand that anime may be predominantly adult, but who doesn’t like road runner and bugs bunny???

I do this with my grandkids. I have no understanding of the stuff they like, but my parents never understood my interests as a kid either.
Also have to give the girl big props for helping them out despite not working there.
Outside of powering devices on or off and opening apps, I'm computer illiterate but I know the difference between mac apple and windows dos systems so stupid to hear that
same here. But I know what a mixed marriage is. One has apple and one has windows.
There is no such thing as a "windows dos" system.
@@reh3884 lol... I must be old if you dont know what DOS, is haha en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS
@@jimmiedmc1 yes its only been the last decade or so thst you couldn't use dos to program a Microsoft computer a computer nerd told me. I don't know i don't code program or whatever new term is for telling a computer what to do in the background. I just know how to click and type. Lol
@@reh3884 Well it's true that Windows Me was 20 years ago, but it still ran on top of DOS, so I'd say that calling it a "windows dos" system isn't that far off (though "DOS/Windows" was the more common term).
The simple joys of never growing up! You'll always be two or three steps ahead of your competition,and when the times of retribution come up,they'll never knew what hit them! And to top it all off,you go cheerfully on,and they,haven't the faintest idea of why! The Karens and their ilk,and Puritans at heart,and have no sense of humor nor ability to laugh at themselves,mores the pity,for there is much beauty in this world 🌎, but it remains unappreciated,and unseen! Thank you for allowing my long winded comments and thoughts,but nowadays Philosophers are not needed,and shunned,but that too is changing! 2021will be a watershed,and nodal point,as the action is really now getting started! Thank you,and Happy New Year 😊 everyone 😘!
"Attack on a TITAN with a one piece death note punch dragon.....IS THAT A THING??".....LMAO! TOTALLY LOVE THIS DUDE'S MOM! SHE'S ADORABLE! AND A "🙏🏻🤘🏻👍🏻🖖🏻 ÁTTA BOY, GOOD GAME!!" TO THE OP FOR HELPING THAT AWESOME LADY! GOOD SHOW! (IT'S TOO BAD THAT THE ACTUAL MANAGER/EMPLOYEE OF THE SHOP IN AN ANIME-NAZI THOUGH. It serves her right that you would send them to another store where their business would actually be appreciated I don't understand some people like yeah you work in the store you're so much cooler than the average human being like seriously you may watch more anime than a regular person it does not make you a super hero even though you may dress like one when no one's watching LOL
It would be nice to see some of these old business higher-ups read this and realize that it's about their failed company.
I'm 64 and still like watching cartoons
Still entertaining me! Lots of fun and very enjoyable.😉
That first story reminds me of something that happened to me once years ago. I like comic book type subjects, but I hadn't done any regular comic reading since the days of Sonic Comics as a kid. (lotsa manga since then tho) There are so many series, many of them years if not decades into their runs, so I had no real clue where to start.
I walked into a comic store and it was bad from the start. As I came in, I saw someone on each side of the counter having a conversation. They blankly looked at me, said nothing, then went back to their conversation. I see a couple long rows of shelves on a nearby wall with what looks like comics, but there were several problems:
1 The shelves were not too high to reach, but high enough to be inconvenient.
2 There were several gaming table ends up against the same wall, so you had to reach around them.
3 The comics were so tightly layered you could not see the covers at ALL.
I glanced helplessly over at the counter, then randomly tried pulling one out here and there before I started feeling really awkward and ended up leaving.
I've heard of people who run comic shops purely as a hobby for themselves and not to actually do business, and I think that was one of them. Fuck you guys.
Good morning! Hopefully you have a wonderful day, stay safe and stay free!
Ah MS Dos brings back memories
MS dos? That was a while back!
I think my vet still runs his green screen PCs with matrix dot printers in some version of MS DOS. 🤦🏻♀️
@@Cuaedria That’s perfectly fine as long as it’s not connected to the Internet.
@@Cuaedria Those are becoming a very special order these days, but they are about the only printers which will print multiple copy documents like invoices.
Good morning, Friends!
My children say I'm obsessed with the stories. Well o don't know about obsessed.....
Just every single one right
Tell them to stop being a Karen or Kevin. Lol
And 5 minutes in, the SpongeBob music begins. So worth waiting for and fits in perfectly with the stories.
Companies need to make a rule that says anytime a manager or executive goes outside of the standard procedure to hire someone that they are personally responsible for any of their mistakes for their first year working there. Put an end to nepotism and fake resumes all at once.
That last story manager reminds of people who cut off their nose to spite their face. Don't you just love people who end up shooting themselves in the foot?
Except that they seem to do so much damage when they do. Not surprisingly though.
Smiling in my bed listening to Rw reading these
what kind of a company would not see this in two years?
There should be a subreddit about IT, with as many of these I've seen, it should be it's own subject. I'm a loyal lurker here and I watch every day+. Thank you RedWheel for your efforts to keep us entertained. Great work! 💨💥💫
I like anime myself. One anime online game I like is Ragnarok online. They used to and in some ways still are fee based. After I and thousand others got ripped off by Gravity who offered to transfer our accounts from beta to final if we prepayed, discovered they were all stripped. Being outside the USA they got away with it except for ones like myself who did charge backs. Few years later, emulators sprang up so now a days I run my own server with friends only with our rules and no chance of getting ripped off or trolled.
Anime fan and collector at age 62. (I'm sure not ready to be "old", dang). And yes, I too have a modest collection of some select anime figurines. I used to be a pretty big fan of some top mainstream "cop" shows on network TV (NO interest in "comedies" or "reality" shows). One day while watching one of my favorite shows I realized that if any cop (at least at most law enforcement agencies) behaved like too many of the characters on most cop shows behaved, they'd be gone, almost instantly. Ok, I get that without drama, nobody would watch most of the shows. I don't have a problem with that, but, when you are 2-3 steps ahead of the show in your mind, maybe it's just too much repeat or stale story lines. But still, if it's entertaining... At one point when I was many, many, years younger I was a reserve deputy sheriff (I was but a puppy at the time), and have worked with/around law enforcement agencies at various other times in my life. So, I have a feel for what REAL police/LEO work is like. And at some point, at least for me, the story lines of the major broadcast networks shows just got, uh, how to put it, "dis-interesting" (?) and, well, wasn't really "entertaining" anymore. I guess it comes down to, if I'm going to watch "pretend" stuff, I might as well watch pretend stuff with good story lines. Besides, I kind of always have been a bit of a "nerd" with a fondness for dragons, magic, elves, etc. and science fiction/fantasy so making a move to anime for my nightly entertainment just seemed to be an "organic" transition. I also want to add that the often misconstrued stereo type of adult (especially male) anime fans doesn't do the people or the genre any favors. A lot of us, like me, also have interests in a lot of more "mainstream" endeavors. For instance, muscle cars (have a couple of projects) photography, electronics/computers, home improvement, and I have a nice, later model upscale high horsepower import sedan. Sure would be nice to find a group of similar people that is apolitical to get in with. Politics these days seems to ruin everything it touches. And if I had to pick a waifu, Lalei La Lalena. Just gotta love her inquisitive nature and her intellect. Too bad she's just a figment of a writers imagination.
The anime part when they asked how old I’m 11 and my dads 41 so I guess it rangers a long way
On that IT story, a while back my brother was looking at computers at a...lets say Stapler's Are Us and my brother asked about the RAM of one of the computers. The man said, 'oh its 500 Gigs'. My brother pauses and looks at the guy funny and says, 'No, the RAM, not the hard drive space' to which the man says, 'those are the same thing.' yeeeeaaaah....no they're not, and anyone who's been hired to sell computers should know that. Worse when my brother said they were definitely not the same thing the guy argued with him. At that point my brother decided _not_ to buy a computer there.
Did they not have HR or such at the time the last story happened? How could the manager be so blatant in her attempts to get rid of a good employee yet not get in any trouble at all? She was shown to have lied and made stuff up, yet it’s fine?
The manager that hired her is probably covering for her and shielding her from HR or he hired HR to and they are just as incompetent at their job and/or he's telling them he's got it handled to ignore everything about her.
First story,
What section of Reddit is the opposite of r/idontworkherelady?
I do want to know about the story of 'real lazy employee' too.
You know, life is two side of a coin, good and bad. Certainly if there is a good and bad costumer, there should be a good and employee.
I am a Computer Science Major with minimal knowledge of the field, and yet I cringe at every step of the IT story.
"She did not know the difference between PC and Mac......" - o_o oh no....
"she hired a Cobol programmer..." O__O; OH NOOOOOOOO *context...programmers stopped using Cobol (at least in mass) at that point in computer programming history*
Best channel for reddit stories! He is succinct, and to the point. Not too much filibuster. Keep up awesome work!
Final Story, for a final bit of company revenge you should contact that companies HR department and lawyers and inform them of her Falsifying her employment application ( confessed while drunk you could tell them). any competent lawyer and HR director would then have a responsibility to look into the claim. then finding this out fire both of them, him for highering her and not checking and her for forgery. then sue them both for the companies losses during her "Employment".
The problem is he hired her. How do we know he didnt hire one or more HR to look the other way or paid them to look the other way. As someone else pointed out she never got into trouble for all the false accusations she made against OP. So he had to have had someone on the inside of HR covering for her.
Thank you for the video.
You make my day better just plain
Clearly Good Granny and Good Mom had NO idea what Anime is since MOST Anime is aimed at an Adult Audience...
A lot of it is (or bloody well should be) R Rated for that matter...
I think its best not to tell them theur 22 year old watches violent anime. I have nit and from what I've heard about it wont watch Attack on Titan but have heard it's bloody and possibly gorey. Even though he's an adult something tells me mom and grandma would be shocked amd horrified that "cartoons" like anime can be that violent. I'm surprised that they didn't question him at mentioning Death Note that I have seen season 1 of. Just because of the title alone. Although they probably didn't register it much with the rest he mentioned.
Listening to this on the way to work, my day is now starting good. Thanks
8:14 the second it was proven that she was making up stuff in that meeting you should have filed a complaint for harassment and a hostile work environment. Put her making up s*** about you on record and then upper management will never take anything she says about you seriously again and if they do, and fire you for it you can sue the f*** out of them.
I’m going to listen to this at school
i dont think its unusual for adults to like cartoons i am 52 and i still like bugs bunny
As to the first story that do called manager shouldn't be a manager or employee if that buisness. As to the second story that know nothing idiot ended up doing op a favor. It's is disturbing how these idiots get away with it for so long and still have a job.
Hello friend , I almost missed this story. Close one 🤓
Mic drop, LOL.
Morning Redwheel. Late start for me. I try only to leave messages if Im on early enough for you to see them before it gets burried under 10k comments lol.
Last OP, I'm pretty sure she complains of patriarchy all the time and blaming men why she's working poorly haha
On whether its ok to love cartoons as an adult or not.... to that I say, my grandfather watched cartoons to the day he died and I will do the same. Regardless of the answer.
Haha 15 second ago
Oh ya what am I supposed to say again?
Oh yea.... hello there beautiful people in 2020 I hope you are all ok and healthy
Why does this guy sound like the guy from the YT channel WATOP
I love anime and I'm 35. And why would you snub those people that are in your store looking for the things that you have on your shelves? You want an alienate everybody fine let's go here.
Last story: sounds like the USAF.
id probaly pass that Anime test
1st loved the video dunno how anyone doesn't like anime just bought dragon ball z kakarot 2 days ago so if you love anime like me you should get it🇬🇧
Ikr how can anybody not like animé? I don't even watch it all that often but when I do, it's great
@@tuckergregory some of us ask how does one even watch ir without wanting to claw out thier eyes and cover thier ears... To each thier own.
@@veulmet What about it upsets you that much?
*Screams* ONE PUNNNNNNCH!
An adult liking cartoons / anime? How unusual. (I'm only 64, but I'm sure when I grow up I'll put such childish things behind me.) I wonder sometimes where they find the children with the skills to produce, direct, write, animate, and voice these things. It's hard to imagine any adult liking such jobs.
Same here and I am 10 years younger than you 🤗❤🇨🇦
There should be no reason why even old folks would not like anime. I'm 58 and in the 70s, we were already inundated with anime
@@rap3208 yep can you say hello kitty? As a cat lover i hated seeing the image of hello kitty, as a kid in the late 70s and 80s i saw it plastered all of the school yard.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good Morning

How come bro doesn’t have more subscribers
One Punch Man!
Simple lession in story 2 ... Don't fuck with ur IT team
I'm 66 and love anime
2nd
3rd boi
how angry it makes me that people think anime and manga are for children ..., there are so many anime with adult stories, some even make you cry from sadness, better than many movies or normal programs
@Zak Strayder Good for you 👍 👏
I am not a fan of either but, isn't some manga (in particular) highly sexualized and for adults only?
Lolololol
If u like anime then u no it no cartoons
Cartoons are just anime in different languages.. if it’s not ‘real’ people acting, it’s either cartoons/anime or CGI, at least in my opinion. I understand that anime may be predominantly adult, but who doesn’t like road runner and bugs bunny???
KOO P
Don't care
mike drop my ass, i hate that bts reference
