Military story... happens a lot. I'm in the military and I remember being in a major base overseas when I was 'chewed out' by a warrant officer in front of a group of his peers. I was only wearing the uniform which went under our body armour which doesn't have any rank insignia on it as that is on the armour itself. I waited patiently until he paused for breath and he was obviously confused as to why I wasn't intimidated by his tirade. He asked, rather forcefully, if I understood what he was saying. I did ask why he hadn't saluted me before speaking, at which point his (obviously more intelligent) colleagues started rapidly to leave the area. I still laugh at the look in his eyes when realisation dawned 😂
I'd left the Army a couple of years when my nephew was getting married at the Naval base in Virginia. It was a cool day, so I wore my field jacket, with patches, rank, unit name and branch. As I walked into the venue for the wedding I noticed several officers milling about, that's when a young NCO came up to me, and started dressing me down for appropriating the valor of a real military serviceman. Apparently he thought having long hair, and a beard meant I couldn't wear my old uniform. But I surprised the poor boy, with my drill Sgt voice, "Stand down maggot, when I want your opinion I'll give it to you! With that I spun a perfect about face, and walked into the chapel. It wasn't more than a couple of minutes when a officer entered with the young NCO, and made him apologize. Seems the officer felt my reaction was definitely drill Sgt worthy, and highly memorable
My late brother in law was in the US Army, stationed in Germany. Instead of being discharged after returning home, he opted to go out in Germany with his transport home provided afterwards. He enjoyed his “European vacation” then boarded a military ship to the US. He was sleeping in one morning when a self important minor officer roused him by pushing him out of his bunk. He got upset and told the officer to f-off. The officer started shouting at him, but my brother in law told him to stuff it and that he outranked the officer. The response was, “Oh yeah? What’s your rank?” When he grinned and replied “Civilian, a-hole,” the officer couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
I've heard a lot of stories similar...worst one had to do with custody transfer involving a germany stationed officer with a kid, a summer and christmas custody schedule for the officer while the other parent had school, and there was someone from the US government (not sure where) that was an escort for the kid and a few others during the transfers, but they were using air force planes for it. Minor officer tried to pull rank on the escort. One of my friends is a former Army courier, and he had several stories about idiot officers trying to get information on what he was transporting when he wasn't allowed, and in one occasion ended up dealing with a mess involving an colonel from the Air Force trying to drag him into disciplinary actions over it when he had orders to shoot anyone who tries to take the package other than those pre-authorized...and he didn't even know what was in the case he'd been given to transport at the time
The last one, you should have sued the HOA and the first seller. Once a contract is signed, there isn’t anything anyone can do about it and goin back on a signed contract carries heavy penalties.
I'm former Army and I would have left the tray on the floor the first time she threw it and went about my duties. And my supervisor or whatever came to me about it I'd explain that she threw it and I wasn't the one to be thrown at. If she's well enough to throw she's well enough to pick it up.
Retired TBI therapist here... Nope, not going to do your (her) nails. Nope. No. No. . ... there is a salon just down the street, they will do your nails. Not me, nope. Not gonna happen.
@@SeanBZA I like the way you think! Alternatively, I would have said something like "Excuse me , I'll just go find someone to clean that up", then disappear for half an hour while I served other patients. 👍🤣🤣
@@stoopingfalcon891 Yes, plus the floor has to be mopped first, and then dried, as after all it is now a slipping hazard, and you cannot expect anybody to endanger themselves by walking across wet floors. After the hour is up you come back in, and tell her sorry, kitchen has finished all meal services, and the only thing left is a half tray of unwanted extras, especially all the items she dislikes.
Op's dad could've gone around town and told them that he was willing to spend this amount of money by living in the community through both the construction and through living expenses thereby having the community. Also making it clear in the community that they are alienating newcomers through social media. And then on top of it all taking the HOA to court for harassment. Also a great way to ingratiate yourself to a town is to fix the potholes for them if you have extra money.
If they did that I was hoping that they would either have her isolated even more or they were going to charge her $200 for the disturbance every time that she would throw a tray. Cuz she's not only causing more work for the hospital employees but also causing a disturbance that's probably disrupting the hospital in some way both for the staff as well as any other patients admitted. Or threaten that she would be sued for emotional abuse to the staff.
On this side of the world, I expect that first someone (probably head of nursing) would attempt to "reason with" the patient and when that failed, the patient would be told in no uncertain terms that the staff are doing HER a favour by bringing food to her, not the other way around, and if she stupidly wasted good food like that again, she'd get nothing until the next meal time. Either that, or they'd implement protcols for a patient refusing to eat, which would be far worse for the patient...
@@melkiorwiseman5234 I think the doctors in hospital would get sued if they didn't give her food. But I would hope that they would have the legal right to have the patient sent in for a mental health evaluation.
@@richewilson6394 "Suing" isn't that big a thing on this side of the world, but they'd certainly need to be able to establish beyond doubt, with witnesses, that the woman had refused the food which was offered, otherwise there could be other legal sanctions applied. And yes, mental health evaluation of the patient is one of the options available to the staff to protect themselves from liability. In fact, that would probably be a win for the hospital in either case: Either she's evaluated as sane, in which case they're protected because it's her decision not to eat the food, or she's evaluated as not sane and they then get to apply protocols used for patients who are not mentally competent in order to ensure she receives proper nutrition.
A patient who is alert and oriented needs a talking to from the charge and/or administrative nurse. If that doesn't work then the a Dr. needs to. This is always something that is done with alert and oriented patients.
Hospital food Karen story: I'd have told her after her knocking the first tray off if she did it again ALL she would get would be what the doctors had ordered, PERIOD! Then carried thru with it. I hope she got charged for the food she wasted. Chef story: When you are supposed to have a contract, READ IT! Recruit story: OP, recruits aren't issued their uniforms until AFTER they get to boot camp. They can literally be wearing anything. Length of hair doesn't matter either. You get your first regulation haircut at boot camp. So if you appear to be the right age, yeah, it's kind of easy to be mistaken for a recruit. Admittedly, the officers and enlisted at MEPS aren't there to win popularity contests, they are there to get the entrance process started and begin the change from civilian to military. Part of that process is to stop any nonsense going on with/from the new recruits. IT vs HR story: This sounds like a fairly solid case for wrongful termination. But given the way they seem to operate I wouldn't want to continue to work for the either. HOA story: Why I won't live in an HOA. Also why I won't live in New York.
IT vs HR, on this side of the world, there's almost always a notice period required by law when someone's employment is terminated, and the company has to at least pay out that notice period even if the person doesn't work through the notice period. On top of that, if a person is found to have been unfairly terminated and they don't want to return to that workplace, they can get compensation on top of the payment for their notice period (or if they do want to return then they can be paid as though their employment never ceased and return to work, but as you pointed out, usually the former employee doesn't want to go back to what will probably now be a hostile workplace environment).
OP need to make a complaint to that base about how they treat their guests that they need to have their staff reevaluated as well as having better ID because that sounds like a shitty base because they can't keep simple security procedures in place.
My mom spent a lot of time in the hospital in her final years. I was usually with her. I could hear some patients screaming at the nurses with complaints and requests. They were never happy with what they got. My mom was a polite Southern lady. If the nurses were going to get something for a patient, they'd ask her if she wanted the same thing. Kindness and thankfulness goes a long way. The OP was performing THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.
Listening to that last one, I'm almost certain that they bought in Garden City. They are the epitome of what an HOA should aspire to - just ask them! They are FAMOUS for the boneheaded rules they have.
Good afternoon, everyone! RW, I hope you're having a good day and are still safe. Thank you for sharing your amusing stories! LOL Catch you in the morning!!
Greek Restaurant story is b s, we got some of the strictest laws to protesters workers in the world. They are so severe that when Wallfahrt tried entering the german market they had to change a lot of there employee rules because they were against the law here !!!
When a patient is on a restricted diet that are on a restricted diet and if they want to throw their food on the floor that's on them it needs to be made very clear that they will not be getting anymore and that's that
Military story, I don't know about how it works where you are but in Australia basically what you were wearing is something a recruit would be required to wear if they wanted to leave the base so maybe not THAT stupid 😂
As to the first story the first time she threw the tray should have been the only time. Never cater to bad behavior. As to the second story that jerks greed bit him in the but big time. It would have been funny if ops dad wad able to buy the restaraunt at a bargain price and re open it. As to the third story the guy was an idiot on a power trip.
The guy is Air Force, and he couldn't tell a civilian from a recruit, man i could understand the army, but the Air Force their supposed to be the smartest brunches of all the military not of the dumbest
I’d have written back to the NYT and make them publish my letter to the editor due to this being an obvious yet slightly veiled effort based on the whole town’s antisemitism. Call all of the bigwigs antisemites for their activities, call out and sue the landowner who reneged on their signed deal. Paint the whole town with a really broad brush and at the end of the letter announce that you are willing to be friends with anyone who is willing to show that they aren’t a part of the towns antisemites. See how fast they backtrack. Call people out for their BS.
Conservative Christian here from the South. Please don’t judge all Conservative Christian people because of bad experiences you’ve encountered please. I resent the implication that because of my beliefs I would be negative towards ANY Jewish person. And as a Christian, I believe with all of my heart that the Jewish people are God’s chosen people. I stand for Israel and her people.
LAST STORY it is because of stories like this that if I were to buy some land to build a new house I would have a clause put in the contract that stated if the seller tries to cancel or renege on the sell he and/or she owes me double what I paid that way if an hoa starts F_ _KING WITH ME I can nip that shit butt and be done with it
I'm a conservative Christian and I support Israel. What's all this BS about us not liking Jewish ppl. I'm also voting for Trump. When I listen to a story I would prefer not to hear crap. I hear to much of it from the democrats. I just want to listen and enjoy.
It's sickening how many so-called "Christians" forget that Jesus was born into a Jewish family and raised in the Jewish religion. There's a good reason why Christianity is more correctly referred to as "Judeo-Christian" beliefs.

I am guessing a military officer pushing a civilian around is a no no

Indeed. Breach of contract is breach of contract. You can't just refund the money...
Yah that part got me too, how can you unsell something? once money changes hands its done.

Worked in hospital 44 years. Worst was the one who wanted me, a therapist, to do her nails. Nope.

They need to learn consequences for being shitty.

The last guy assumes he is the one aggrieved, but he sounds like the bad guy to me.
Thanks for the video, RedWheel! ❤️
The last story makes no sense. "Unselling" the land ???
Yeah that sounds highly illegal. I’m no expert on real estate but that doesn’t sound right.
12:55 sounds like the NWA from Hot Fuzz…
“Not keeping up with the villages rustic aesthetic!!
Last story: . . .should have made the HOA pay DEARLY for their nonsense.
That last one was a fun story, but where's the malicious compliance?
When a patient is on a restricted diet that are on a restricted diet and if they want to throw their food on the floor that's on them it needs to be made very clear that they will not be getting anymore and that's that

Eh, seeing the modern monstrosities that people build, I gotta say on the last story, I'm sorta with the HOA on that one.
Um....
Leave the tray where she threw it.
Enjoy!
It sounds like he was having a ego trip

as someone whose spent time in the hospital recently op is a piece of trash
I wouldn’t necessarily sue them for wrongful termination
But I would report them for they’re bad employment practices
The newspaper love such things
