I was waiting at a bus stop, blethering away to my son via bluetooth headset about a planned lunch meeting with both of my sons and their partners. I wasn't really paying that much attention, apart from watching for my bus to arrive. Then I noticed a little old lady, propped up against the bus stop signpost. She was in tears of laughter, and when I asked her if she was ok, she calmed down enough to say to me "I only heard your side of the conversation, but you are one of the funniest people I have ever heard". Ha! A stand up comedian is born 🤣 I am glad I made her day with some laughter 😊
*Last Story:* Oh, yes. Flying a drove over someone else's private property is very illegal. As is flying it too high, which violates FAA regulations and can result in massive fines if you're within a few miles of an airport. It's crazy how regulated drones are.
On a side note, traversing the Catecombs in Paris is technically TRESSPASSING since landowners literally own the ground underneath their property [to unlimited depth?!?]
You're not kidding. I used to work at a scout summer camp, and we had one (1) incident with a drone before the military base nearby 'corrected' things. TLDR; we had a history of helicopters being struck by laser pointers and causing issues, (big issues) and the drones were basically handled pre-emptively by the big guys in charge. We had to ban drones from the camp unless the owners signed a contract stating their understanding that they were only to be used within a certain area, at a certain time, under constant supervision, as they were deemed a potential security threat to the base that shared borders with us.
Depends on the drone. If there are under a certain size (typically 25g), you're probably okay as long as you're not snooping. Beyond that, you likely need a license.
Not sure but, drones are not allowed to be out of line of sight of the pilot? Dropping it over someones fence would certainly put it out of line of sight? (I am UK, so not sure how it works in the US)
Karen says, “People have no respect these days!” While following a random person minding their own business on the phone screaming at them LOL!! The irony…
The last story: I am curious if the 13 year old was the one who reported OP in the first place to the cops when he went pee in his yard or if he told his Mom some crazy story about a nude guy? Also, I wonder why the kid decided to fly back in his yard after the whole pee incident? What was he looking for? Was he recording OP for whatever reason? Or was it to just torment OP's dog? Just curious about those parts. I think OP explained everything else pretty well about the kid's crazy mom.
From OP's description of how his dog behaved and the sounds the dog made I think the kid was buzzing the dog so he could watch the dog get scared. There have been cases in which kids, usually boys, have deliberately buzzed people's animals to scare the animals into panicking. It's a way to torture animals long distance so to speak. They think it's funny to watch chickens in someone's backyard flock panic and run themselves to death while the noisy drone chases them. People have been caught doing that to dogs, cats, rabbits in hutches, chickens and ducks in pens or free running, any animal they can scare. They enjoy frightening the animals and like to watch with the video camera while the animals panic and run. It makes them feel powerful. Some adults like it as well. There are some very sick humans out there.
@@bunnyslippers191 Well, the OP's solution is a good one. Break out the garden hose, set to anti-air mode. If you haven't got one... well, if the drone's low enough to be tormenting animals, a long stick'll do the trick.
Likely chain of events: Kid happens to fly drone over OP's yard as he's 'watering'. Kid exitedly tells mom 'hey, guess what I saw' and mom blows a gasket. Kid realize that's a way to get attention from mom (I'm guessing as to her winery-habits he doesn't get much of that) and keeps flying over OP's yard in hopes of catching more 'incriminating watering' to get attention, then realize bothering the doggo is also great fun.
@@bunnyslippers191 I was thinking more along the lines of a curious kid but you're right, there is a lot of sick people out there who get their kicks from tormenting animals. When I was little my big brother would sometimes catch a fly, pull off their wings, and race them around in his hot wheels cars. I don't think he looked at insects like animals but I can see how some kids would do that. I thought it was sick and never would have even considered doing something like that so I guess I didn't think of a kid doing that with the intention of upsetting an animal but I can definitely see that now.
Flying a drone out of operator sight is a major no-no according to the FAA, not to mention that flying below 20 or so feet with a drone violates one's right to privacy as well
FAA certified UAS pilot here; flying within reach of a person and or animal and harassing an animal with one is more serious than that. also the fact it was a 12 or 13yo kid without parental supervision... judging by the fact it had video feed to the pilot this wasn't some cheap little micro drone either, and making a lot of assumptions here but it was probably one of those dji phantoms that are dangerous when mishandled. [granted all of them are when mishandled and not prioritizing safety]
@@serpentinious7745 all. including drones that have live feed cameras to your phone or other display. there is a reason that all professional drone operations for survey work or photography have at least one visual observer as well as the pilot, and its safety.
@@mrmors1344 thanks for the info. It makes sense for drones with cameras but I'm surprised to hear the rules are the same for drones without cameras since they have no means of invading privacy.
@@serpentinious7745 ah you are inquiring on that line of thought, that still falls under out of line of sight operation. just without any way to know what you are doing during. but also think of it like this for the out of line of sight flying; you have either a gimbal mount camera or a front facing only one, neither give any good depth perception when it is flying at speed and doesn't show what is behind or to sides. so either way it is a massive safety problem
I grew up with a feminist mom who taught me all about how the courts tend to be biased a certain way depending on gender and what the case is about. Every time I hear about another qualified dad actually getting full custody it brings me hope that the vision she shared with me is one step closer to fruition.
Ok I totally thought you were going the opposite direction with your story. Guess I’ve heard to many horror stories about people taking feminism to the extreme and hating men for no other reason then what’s between their legs.
@@SIS3W3N and I would have to agree (probably cause I know my grandparents would come back and haunt me horribly if I disrespected someone based on gender orientation etc)
I know of at least 4-5 dad’s who had custody of their children…one had full custody of one of them, another had full custody of not only his daughter but his stepdaughter as well!!! My son & his ex did their own divorce…he told her if you want it that bad, YOU move out & get full custody, she said ok. It’s been 2 yrs & now she has basically abandoned her 2 teenage boy’s for some guy…and yes, she had liberal visitation along with an entire month in the summer. She had my son come pick up the boy’s after only 2 1/2 wks, she couldn’t be away from her bf that long 🙄
@@Allantitan Nah, I grew up being treated as a male myself due to transitioning in adulthood and I know damn well that just having a dick or being socialized as a dude alone does not make someone worthy of my ire. I believe that the patriarchy we currently have in power fucks everyone over, just in different ways. For example as depressing as the statistics around how few female SA victims ever report the crime are the statistics around how many men report that shit are even more depressingly low. The reason why rates of reporting are low in general is due to the fact that many people have a tendency to shame anyone who reports SA, this is even worse for men who have often been conditioned from birth to think that admitting any weakness is tantamount to a mortal sin. This does have the upside that men are more likely to be believed in SA cases due to judges taking that into consideration but it's still some arbitery BS that makes life worse for everyone. As far as I'm concerned it's just another divide and conquer tactic where some psychopathic douchnozzle a long time ago said "hey look, I'm gonna be taking away some of your rights and imposing arbitery double standards on you but don't worry cause I'm gonna treat this other group slightly worse in a different way!" Also it's not like women aren't equally capable of being complete dickheads and creepwads, which brings up some more double standards that I think just sucks in general no matter who you are. Women are much more likely to get away with SA and in many case due to outdated laws a women can straight up do that shit without a court even considering it SA. That being said as far as we know women are less likely to commit SA in MOST circumstances fortunately though I do suspect we'll find the statistics aren't quite as skewed once we make some progress on that front. Also most of the time a women is murdered we find it's a man who committed the murder, this is also true when it comes to men and since even more men die from murder than women we'd actually be helping even more men than we would women by deconstructing whatever double standards in our societies social conditioning procedures causes this phenomena.
Story 4: I'm 97.5% confident that flying drones, especially ones with cameras, into other people's backyards is illegal, and it could probably result in *multiple* criminal charges. Also, the fact that the Karen was willing to stalk OP and do whatever she could to get full custody really shows how far deep one can go. Good thing it backfired.
Story one... Tell the old biddy to turn around, eff off and stop harassing him. The pepper spray idea is good. 😎 Drone story....Slapping OP's phone from his hand.... Assault Charge! And Karen slaps a cop.... because, you know, that always works out well for her. 😆
Story #4 - that Karen is nuttier than bat sh*t, and I really hope that Karen stays in the mental facility for an indefinite period of time, and that the father continues to have full custody of his son!
That second story would have been hilarious on my end. "I know the people who live here very well!" "Obviously you don't, or you'd know the 'people' who live here are me, myself, and I."
Story 1: I have 0 problem with people talking in public with headphones/on the phone regularly. What honestly pisses me off is the ones who have a conversation on SPEAKER. No one gives a damn what the hell is going on with your lifer and who is doing what. Have a little respect and talk like a decent human being instead of being a savage talking on speaker. If it's at a store where you sent someone to shop for you and they have no idea what to look for so they basically go have to annoy an employee and then play the "I'm looking for x" game while on speaker with the person and an employee is also annoying. A little more understandable, but if you have to send someone to shop for you, make sure they know what the hell you want and what it's for.
That first Karen reminds me of a homeless lady in my City. Although, she thinks the Government has spies everywhere, but she is the kind of person who will follow someone screaming about respect because they're on the phone.
@@H-to-O time outs and loads of chores and not being allowed to do them the easy way. Ie: actually getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing the floor by hand or other manual labor
That's probably why he told his mom, the way it seems his mom would probably spoil him by allowing him to do whatever he wants. Obviously he was hoping his mom would get his drone back. I feel bad for the PI in cases like this because they don't know the reason for why this person hired them. But I am sure they gladly told she hired them. What exactly did she think, OP was going to be used. He probably wasn't going to be involved other than the drone incident. The mom played herself
We should go back to the days where we could hit other people's kids in public when their parents won't. They will learn some manners one slap at a time.
Giving no rules, no limits, no constructive criticism and no realistic ambitions to your child isn't a gift you're giving them but a massive gold ticket for the biggest slap in the world given by life itself or someone else.
Last story: if that woman failed a breathalyzer test, that would have been the icing on the cake, cause I do believe drinking wine before getting behind the wheel is drunk driving, and that woman clearly was a drinker, since OP mentioned her breath stank of merlot (a type of grape wine) when she yelled about the drone. I am very certain being intoxicated will aggravate mental health issues, since a lot of these entitled people stories have the entitled pricks being drunk or high. Plus, alcohol is very easy to obtain for these overgrown children, since literally all you need is an ID. I am sure you can put two and two together with what I just said.
Well, seeing as she drove there, and was intoxicated in public, she got the DUI charges automatically. Blood draw would have nailed that coffin nice and shut at the station. As well her hiring a PI is further evidence as well of premeditation to commit assault on OP, which then further adds to the charges, as he is in no way assumed to be related to her.
@@SeanBZA Given that OP stated she was due to testify in court, you can throw witness tampering and conspiracy (he hired a third party to stalk OP) into the mix, which are way more serious than assault as far as the courts are concerned.
Story 3: Karens attack the pretty ones because in their minds "It's not fair that girl isn't abiding to my view of reality of pretty means gold digger. Pretty faces aren't supposed to be hard-working." Which is just a cover for their own insecurities about their own looks and attitudes. Jealousy and insecurity are the bedrocks of these Karens.
@@jacthing1 Yes. That's the other side of the coin. But in the end, it has nothing to do with the pretty employees, it's all the Karens who think it's alright to act that way just because they're upset and angry.
Last story: A 13 year old destroying a garden and insulting his dad that "mom's always been the better parent". One can very clearly see that he is very well on the path to be raised *as* a Karen. I hope the dad lets him witness the fate of his mom and not trying to shield him from this nutty woman. The latter only would be good to encourage that behavior.
Story 1, is Karen yet again trying to force her way on op when she should be minding her damn business. Story 3, a Karen always has to have everything done their way. If not all hell breaks loose. Op handled her perfectly and she never came back because she got told off and knew she wasn't going to get her way. The last story, in the update, the Karen might as well have lost the custody case. She just made it so much much worse on herself and pretty sure she has officially screwed herself over. Hopefully the dad can actually raise the kid right. She screwed herself over and got herself in a mental institution!
Oh she lost more than the custody case, being declared a danger to society and put in an institution, because of diminished capacity. Highly unlikely she will be out in under 20 years, simply because the observation will take 2 to 3 years, then medication and observation. Then therapy sessions.
When someone get in a mental institution in a case similar to that, the only thing you know is the date of their admission. The release date is at the discretion of the therapists crew. That Karen may very well get her release from her death from old age.
I’m the acting manager at my store, and had a kid trying to argue with my sales associate about the policy for trying in shirts. We have no fitting room so to try on a shirt it has to be over your current shirt. This kid took his shirt off and when he was told he couldn’t do that he kept arguing about why couldn’t he, and so I was called over and told the kid and his group of friends put your shirt on and get out. Each time he tried to open his mouth I kept saying leave. He finally left when I told my sales supervisor to call security so they could be escorted out of the mall entirely. I protect my employees and will fight for them
Towing Story: I'd have just calmly waited for the tow truck leaning against my car... That way, Karen would still be there when the Tow guy arrived and couldn't then claim she never called them in an attempt to avoid paying the Tow Fee... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Towing companies routinely record the calls, along with caller ID, so they can use it in court to get the money, plus legal costs. Single party consent states no mention, dual party consent there is a voice in the IVR before you get put through.
I hope everyone is having a great day/evening/night! Peace, hugs and love to you all! Thanks for all the great stories Fluff and Steveo! You guys are awesome!
worst if you tell her then the karen would want you to pay it cuz you should have told her that now you life in the house (not that she would belive you to begin with)
On the topic of drones, it's actually legal to fly a drone over private property. How high you have to be depends on a lot of stuff. There's typically state laws, city ordinances, etc, but nobody owns the airspace above their house. That being said, even though a 13 year old is legally able to fly, obtain a cert from completing the TRUST (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) from the FAA (which is required to fly recreationally), and a 13 year old is legally old enough to register a drone to the FAA , flying a drone low enough to be able to harass a dog or be hit by a water hose would likely mean he was flying it way, way below being able to legally speaking. This is at least the case in the US.
For the second story, I worked fast food a teenager for a couple years and never a had a problem with people. Till I returned in my early 20's. I was working in the kitchen that day (cross trained for Cashier and kitchen) and our store took names to call out the order. Well one day there was a lady named Phyllis and I guess the cashier heard Willis. I went to the pop machine to get water cause, you know working in a kitchen is hot and you get thirsty. I had my apron on walking out of the kitchen to the front and this lady sees me and just yells at me saying her name is PHYLLIS NOT WILLIS. I had to apologize and say I'm sorry the cashier took the name down wrong. I was nice but just wanted to berate her cause she saw me coming out of the kitchen and just verbally attacked me when all I was doing was making the food
Regarding the first story, I will say that someone chatting loudly on a cell in public can, indeed, be very obnoxious - if you're in a place like a movie theater or a subway station, or some other place that's packed with people and they all have to listen to you yowl about your groceries. A long, largely empty stretch of road is not one of those places - it shouldn't matter if you ARE talking to yourself; if you're not in a crowded area, you should be able to do whatever the hell you want (not to the point of illegality, of course. But you know what I mean). Maybe that Karen had been burnt too many times. And personally, I was left feeling a little worried for the kid in that last story. A crazy woman being crazy is one thing, but it sounds like her ex is going to have an uphill battle with their son. If he prefers his mom because she lets him do whatever the hell he wants to do, AND SHE'S CRAZY - well, that kid is going to have some issues, both later in life and probably now.
Last Story: Man, that's one way for your kid to get on the bad side of the FAA, which I would suggest not doing if you ever wanna fly somewhere ever again.
We had a drone fly over our backyard one night. It was well after midnight too! Somehow it ended up in a Bazilion pieces! 🤷🏼♀️ It was the strangest thing! Kind of looked like a clay pigeon! 🎯 Sorry not sorry! 😉
When I worked at Mcdonald's it amazed me how many people would come back 20-30 minutes after getting their food and tell us it was cold. Most had not even eaten more than 1-2 bites, so I don't think it was a scam. Just people who think a paper wrapper is magical insulation that can keep food hot forever.
Yeah. I had people call me saying their fries were cold after a 20 minute drive. I would tell them "We throw them away after 7 minutes." Every single time, without fail, they would ask me how they were expected to keep them warm for half an hour on the way home. The only response I had was "Lady, if you can figure that out, you're going to be a millionaire" and they would instantly stop being mad.
@@thalinororcbreaker2840 With a little experimenting you can pretty easily figure out which carry-outs stay warm and which get cold during your drive home. For instance, most pizzas stay warm, which is probably why they’re a popular carry-out, but OMG not Donatos!
@@autonomouscollective2599 Yeah, I don't do carry out. I have adult onset food allergies as a result of an autoimmune disorder. I cook at home for the last decade.
I have actually had a similar situation as the first story happened to me where I was in a store and I was talking to myself trying to figure out what I was going to get from the isle was in and this older woman came up and started telling me to stop talking to myself that it was making her uncomfortable.....
@@TheSjuris you can ask my mother who is a retired teacher..... I am the worst speller in my family and with that tend to go in general with what voice recognition puts unless I actually catch that it's the wrong one so thank you again. Lol
Years ago, my best friend used to work in the karaoke section of a legendary record store in Times Square. One day, an annoyed customer called the store following a purchase, demanding to speak to "the black guy in karaoke". The lady at the counter relayed this to my friend, who then picked up the phone and said, "Black guy in karaoke. How can I help ya?" All he heard on the other end was stuttering. He hung up on them.
Story 4: I had something similar happen to me but way worse, in reference to the love tap in the update. Was leaving work and getting followed. On a busy road, these guys were weaving around me yelling and blocking my path for some reason. They followed me quite a ways and I saw my chance to calmly slow down, switch lanes and turn off to a friend's who lived in the area and would help me call the police cuz I didn't have my phone. They got into my turn lane after seeing what I was about to do and caused me to basically turn them 180 on a busy road. So I tried to find a place to pull off, now aware I'll have to deal with them and try to get the cops involved without being able to call myself. Tried to turn down a different side street, clearly going slow and flashing hazards. As soon as I stop, 4 guys from the car hop out and book it at my car with weapons, causing me to nope out and pull away. They did it one more time before I realized I'd have to drive to the police or get assaulted for no apparent reason. They managed to poof on me, but then I got blocked in and drawn on by 4 patrol cars for a hit and run. Eventually they understood what happened and wrote me a ticket for speeding, but then wrote tickets out for the people in the now TWO cars full of guys who had been planning to pincer me if one of them hadn't called from the first car along the way. The problem got consistent cuz they wrote my address on their tickets and the driver's on mine, so I was stalked, threatened, and vandalized intermittently for about a year. I still don't know what I did to these people.
OP's comment in the last story about the Karen being "nuttier than squirrel crap" made me laugh a bit too hard. Seriously though, how can people honestly think such behaviour is appropriate?
I thought I had never encountered a "Karen" until Story #1 reminded me. My friend had broken up with her bf, so we went to Hawaii to give her a getaway/breather. At Waikiki Beach, a cute guy began to flirt with me and asked if me and my friend would like to go dancing that night. I thanked him, and politely begged off, saying my friend was not up to it. The cute guy changed instantly into a raging Kevin! He began shouting at my friend, :What's wrong? Are you too good for me?!" We picked up our stuff and left the beach with him on our heels for BLOCKS, continuing to shout at us both. As we neared the hotels, the guy backed off, thank God!
The 13 year old comes back with his father who knew that his son was probably lying about what his son did. Then he calls his entitled drunk mom and has her come over to act like a drunking fool cause her entitled son got caught being a little tool. She deserved to get arrested for drunk driving, and needs a lesson for her entitled behavior. Then she stalks OP, and lies about it and thinks she is going to get custody of her son. I hope she never gets that son back and stays for a long time in the aysylm, cause her behavior is so out outrageous and frightening
I once got a Karen and her kids kicked out of a mall. About 20 years ago, I worked at a place called Taco Time, in a mall food court. I rarely worked up front and mostly did prep work in the back. One day, I was doing my usual stuff when I heard a laoud "Excuse me! Hellooo!", followed by someone banging on the counter up front. I walked up to see what she wanted. This woman says "I ordered an ice water and YOU didn't give it to me!". Even though I had nothing to do with preparing or serving her order, I smiled and appologized and filled up an ice water for her. When I sat it on the counter, she slapped it, causing water to splash on me and all over the register and counter. She then turned and walked back to the table where her two kids sat, looking asshamed of her behavior. I was having none of it. I called security and told them what happened. A few minutes later, two security guards walked up and asked where she was. While I was talking to them, the Karen was looking at us and I looked her right in the eye and pointed to her. She looked down and pretended to be messing with her food. Security walked over and told her she needed to leave. They gave her the walk of shame right out the door. I felt bad for her kids. They looked embarrassed as hell and I'm guessing it's not the first time she's acted like that. I felt like I had to do something because I didn't want those kids to grow up thinking it was acceptable to behave like a peice of shit in public.
"How dare you be so disrespectful! *continues to disrespect you and your mom for several blocks at least* oh my God kids these days are so disrespectful!
My mother once had to pay to replace a Karen's front bumper on her Lexus to fix scratches on it that she put there after viciously rubbing her hand on her dusty bumper. "What scratch? Where?" "RIGHT HERE!!!" As she furiously rubs the area. This was also after a light tap like what OP did in the last story. That crazy lady putting her hands on her own bumper did more damage than that tap.
last story, you can probably bet that the kid in the situation STILL thinks his dad is the worst parent and has already inherited the mom's entitled behavior, so it's probably too late for the kid.
Story 4: OP should give the drone to the dad. He could either put it somewhere his kid couldn't find or just sell it after fixing it. And that woman. This KAREN! Is an idiot that thinking getting OP involved in a custody case would work. Making OP the guy who is so vile when he confiscated her kid's drone when she was actually the one who is more vile. And she's drunk. Boy this got really worse when it first mentioned. Alcohol is bad, especially when you are supposed to be a good example to your children, and she's the worst example of a parent should be.
She is drunk and also has mental health issues? Bad combination. Get the men in white coats with a butterfly net and a straightjacket to pick up Karen.☠️🤡😜😝😖🤑👻
a Restraining Order isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, and the only thing that will make the karen realize that they royally screwed up is when they’re staring down the barrel of a loaded firearm
Yeah flying drones over private property is illegal, and im pretty sure flying it over head near or over a school is illegal too, i know it is near airports as well
My favorite fast food manager of all time threatened to take a customer out and engage in a gentlemanly brawl with the guy because he was on the verge of climbing the counter because we made the order before his before making his order. I love when managers get full, unrestricted permissions to stand up for their employees.
In the UK, employers must protect their staff from harassment by law. We don't really have Karens like in the USA. I did witness a bit of a Karen episode only yesterday but it was an Eastern European woman who misunderstood the way she was charged in a charity store. Other customers were ready to beat her up so things planned out very different than the way she possibly expected.
I get 9 nuggets instead of 10, wrong order, extra or missing food... I feel like it's the universe telling me that's what I need and I take it and leave. I don't understand people who make big deals out of it. Like I understand people who want to get what they ordered, but be nice about it. I wouldn't trust food from a minimum wage worker who just got yelled at for an honest mistake.
Yes, it is against the law to fly a drone over any private property, or near government property. Also if the drone is above a certain size, you are required to register it with the FAA and get a license to use it. OP had every right to take the drone down like that. My folks had a similar incident in their neighborhood except it involved a shovel and the drone experiencing what it's like to be a fly getting hit by a fly swatter. My father still has the busted up drone in his garage like a trophy heh. Anyway, the mother came and tried to get it back and after the cops told her that what her son had done was violate our privacy and that the drone was now legally his property. She then tried to get my father in trouble with the HOA, and was basically told the same thing. 2 days later there was a massive e-mail and a printed letter sent out to all the residents of the subdivision about the use of drones and the rules regarding them. There was a positive thing that came out of this though other than the Karen being taught a lesson. The drone had been harassing my folks' little Pomeranian named P.J. and sadly they lost him back in March of 2021. They did get a new Pom pup in the end of April that they named Chewie, because his coloration reminded them of Chewbaca. My mom always missed her little 'Punkinhead,' as she called him as he was very attached to her. So for Mother's Day last year, I managed to get the SD card out of the drone and thankfully there was a few videos of him on it. I got those and burned them onto a disc so my mother could watch it whenever she wanted. Sadly she passed on New Years day and she was cremated and the urn we have her ashes in is more like a chest and that CD is one of the things we put in with her.
The second one with the towing. I wouldn't as well warn that Karen. But knowing how Karens act. She'd probably more likely than not want OP to pay for it cause it's not her fault that she's that stupid.
Story 3: You'd have to be on a whole new level of miserable to be an adult harassing teenagers/younger adults. And over really tiny stuff too. It costs you $0 to be nice and not harass people
I've actually seen stories about restaurants who give discounts when the patron adds the word "please" at the end. So, in some cases, it could literally SAVE you money lol.
Yes! She literally complained because she got more than others and she decided to direct it at the girl. Just because...reasons. And I think being polite might make people more inclined to give you extra without asking. Literally got a little extra because I was nice to an employee once. I mean, is it that hard to say thanks?
First story, I would then open Loudspeaker and then talked with phone in front of her and as close as it's not illegal, so the Human Aunt (Thai language for Karen) could have some fun
To be honest, that last story was very unfortunate for OP, but I am sure the dad of the story is almost relieved for it to have happened. That whole situation would have given his lawyer(s) very strong evidence against the mother, making the custody case a slam dunk, despite mothers still being favored in divorce courts. I know divorced people that would celebrate this kind of thing happening. Something somewhat similar happened with me and a friend's dad - I unintentionally helped him with a court case and he took me out to dinner over it lol. It is also for the best that this happened for the development of the child as well. We need less kids being raised by monsters that could potentially become monsters themselves. We need more kids raised by parents that encourage respecting other people's boundaries, like it seems the dad was trying to do.
Just a thought: in the third story, the manager points out that "this is a franchised restaurant and therefore private property." Even if it wasn't franchised, its still private property. Unless the government owns it, its private. Doesn't matter if its open to the public or anything. If a person or a company owns it, its private not public. I think this manager is amazing for standing up for his employees. Fourth story: Flying a drone over private property in order to spy on people on that property is a federal crime. Its also an invasion of privacy tort, which means you can sue that person. In this case, the person you would sue would be the custodial parent, since the boy was a minor. Damaging his garden is both destruction of property, trespass, and several other torts and crimes. Further, the mother slapping the phone out of OP's hand is battery, which is another crime and another lawsuit. Honestly, I don't cast blame on the kid. With a mother like that, I can't imagine him turning out much better. This is despite the fact that I give kids a great leeway to begin with because, well, they're kids. Kids act irresponsibly solely because they don't have the life experience to judge correctly on what they should and shouldn't do.
Drone; It is Illegal for a Drone to fly over anyone's Property(Federal Law, FAA Drone Rules for about 5 Years Now), so that person that reported that so called Infraction, Just Admitted they broke Federal Law, and the Cop should be Arresting them!! Wow, Total Harassment , Assault, Damaging Private property, AND a UNFIT Mother, and Then Stalking. Take Her to court as you would easily win a Lawsuit.👎👮
So legally in the United States flying a drone over peoples property is protected. Basically you have the right to film in public and the Supreme Court has consistently affirmed this to be legal. Now the area where this has not been tested yet is trespassing. Basically once the drone gets to a certain area can trespassing be an issue?
Any time someone asks you if you are talking to yourself … yes, yes you are and you can tell yourself out loud that you were doing it again getting into an argument with yourself until the person leaves you, the “crazy person” alone. Acting crazy usually makes then run fast
That third story, my general manager when I worked at the McD's close to my home was definitely NOT Team Staff. She would deliberately let customers be rude to us in every possible way, even to the point of screaming, profanity, and throwing stuff at us, all because they're customers. And she even used the complaints from these rude f***s to justify not giving us raises or promotions. I still to this day have no regrets for the day I finally told her to shut the F up.
Drone story... Big misconception that I would like to point out, 1st off, I am a Part 107 licensed drone pilot and can tell you that flying over a house is 100% LEGAL, BUTTTTTTT... the pilot cannot lose line of sight during flight and the drone cannot come into close proximity to people or animals with the intention to harass them. To be that low in someone's backyard will violate certain rules but flying over property does not. Since the OP was protecting the dog from the drone, he's in no trouble, he also could have kept it much like a lost baseball
Story 4 was fairly interesting until they mentioned that starting uphill can cause you to roll back a foot. Sorry, but whoever is roling back while putting the car in gear, should not ever drive a manual car. You can stay on the break an clutch to put the gear in, and then release break and clutch slowly at the same time to stay in place. If you have any kind of experience, you'd quickly switch to instantly releasing the breaks completely and the clutch into the friction zone and instantly pressing on the gas pedal. During my time in driving school I rolled back while trying to figure out what to do, sure, but about a month after getting my licence I already knew how to start uphill without rolling back. A "love tap" is something that should never ever happen!
One of my local McDonalds' has a large handmade sign near the counter that says "Entitled and abusive customers are not welcome and will be asked to leave. Either by the manager or the police". This is because that restaurant has gotten so many Karen's abusing staff that for about 4 months, last year, there was a police car stationed there during opening hours.
I got a Karen story for you: I'm a manager at a retail chain (living in a recession sucks). The Karen I encountered demanded her money back on her return. She had an expired receipt so we can only give her store credit. She goes on a tirade about how store credit forces you to shop at the same store (no duh) and that she has never heard about such a policy. I tell my cashier to just refuse the return because she wants what we cannot give her. She quickly changes her mind. The cashier later told me that the customer was reporting me to corporate. So far I got no complaints from my boss.
2:33 she most likely won't even learn her lesson after that!! She could go to jail for this x amount of years, and still go back to beating on someone else
Last story. First I am a licensed drone pilot so I am required to know the rules. Flying over private property is not illegal as airspace is regulated by the FAA. That being said what this kid was doing could get him in trouble with the FAA if it was reported and the FAA decided to take action. Also when flying over private property it is always best to inform the property owners if you are going to be flying low say under 100 feet ( no set limit on this) because about 100 feet you really are not going to be potentially interfering with anything on said property.
I was waiting at a bus stop, blethering away to my son via bluetooth headset about a planned lunch meeting with both of my sons and their partners. I wasn't really paying that much attention, apart from watching for my bus to arrive. Then I noticed a little old lady, propped up against the bus stop signpost. She was in tears of laughter, and when I asked her if she was ok, she calmed down enough to say to me "I only heard your side of the conversation, but you are one of the funniest people I have ever heard". Ha! A stand up comedian is born 🤣 I am glad I made her day with some laughter 😊
You made me jealous of her and wishing I witnessed that, too. 😂
@@user-mc5vy2vk5n Ty 😊
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought someone was talking to me when they were on a Bluetooth 😂
*Last Story:* Oh, yes. Flying a drove over someone else's private property is very illegal. As is flying it too high, which violates FAA regulations and can result in massive fines if you're within a few miles of an airport. It's crazy how regulated drones are.
On a side note, traversing the Catecombs in Paris is technically TRESSPASSING since landowners literally own the ground underneath their property [to unlimited depth?!?]
@@Radix.Strategy Paris has plans for the mantles bounty
You're not kidding. I used to work at a scout summer camp, and we had one (1) incident with a drone before the military base nearby 'corrected' things.
TLDR; we had a history of helicopters being struck by laser pointers and causing issues, (big issues) and the drones were basically handled pre-emptively by the big guys in charge. We had to ban drones from the camp unless the owners signed a contract stating their understanding that they were only to be used within a certain area, at a certain time, under constant supervision, as they were deemed a potential security threat to the base that shared borders with us.
Depends on the drone. If there are under a certain size (typically 25g), you're probably okay as long as you're not snooping. Beyond that, you likely need a license.
Not sure but, drones are not allowed to be out of line of sight of the pilot? Dropping it over someones fence would certainly put it out of line of sight? (I am UK, so not sure how it works in the US)
Karen says, “People have no respect these days!” While following a random person minding their own business on the phone screaming at them LOL!! The irony…
The last story: I am curious if the 13 year old was the one who reported OP in the first place to the cops when he went pee in his yard or if he told his Mom some crazy story about a nude guy? Also, I wonder why the kid decided to fly back in his yard after the whole pee incident? What was he looking for? Was he recording OP for whatever reason? Or was it to just torment OP's dog? Just curious about those parts. I think OP explained everything else pretty well about the kid's crazy mom.
From OP's description of how his dog behaved and the sounds the dog made I think the kid was buzzing the dog so he could watch the dog get scared. There have been cases in which kids, usually boys, have deliberately buzzed people's animals to scare the animals into panicking. It's a way to torture animals long distance so to speak. They think it's funny to watch chickens in someone's backyard flock panic and run themselves to death while the noisy drone chases them. People have been caught doing that to dogs, cats, rabbits in hutches, chickens and ducks in pens or free running, any animal they can scare. They enjoy frightening the animals and like to watch with the video camera while the animals panic and run. It makes them feel powerful. Some adults like it as well. There are some very sick humans out there.
@@bunnyslippers191 Well, the OP's solution is a good one. Break out the garden hose, set to anti-air mode. If you haven't got one... well, if the drone's low enough to be tormenting animals, a long stick'll do the trick.
Likely chain of events: Kid happens to fly drone over OP's yard as he's 'watering'. Kid exitedly tells mom 'hey, guess what I saw' and mom blows a gasket. Kid realize that's a way to get attention from mom (I'm guessing as to her winery-habits he doesn't get much of that) and keeps flying over OP's yard in hopes of catching more 'incriminating watering' to get attention, then realize bothering the doggo is also great fun.
@@bunnyslippers191 I was thinking more along the lines of a curious kid but you're right, there is a lot of sick people out there who get their kicks from tormenting animals.
When I was little my big brother would sometimes catch a fly, pull off their wings, and race them around in his hot wheels cars. I don't think he looked at insects like animals but I can see how some kids would do that. I thought it was sick and never would have even considered doing something like that so I guess I didn't think of a kid doing that with the intention of upsetting an animal but I can definitely see that now.
Flying a drone out of operator sight is a major no-no according to the FAA, not to mention that flying below 20 or so feet with a drone violates one's right to privacy as well
FAA certified UAS pilot here; flying within reach of a person and or animal and harassing an animal with one is more serious than that. also the fact it was a 12 or 13yo kid without parental supervision... judging by the fact it had video feed to the pilot this wasn't some cheap little micro drone either, and making a lot of assumptions here but it was probably one of those dji phantoms that are dangerous when mishandled. [granted all of them are when mishandled and not prioritizing safety]
Is that just drones with cameras or all drones?
@@serpentinious7745 all. including drones that have live feed cameras to your phone or other display.
there is a reason that all professional drone operations for survey work or photography have at least one visual observer as well as the pilot, and its safety.
@@mrmors1344 thanks for the info. It makes sense for drones with cameras but I'm surprised to hear the rules are the same for drones without cameras since they have no means of invading privacy.
@@serpentinious7745 ah you are inquiring on that line of thought, that still falls under out of line of sight operation. just without any way to know what you are doing during. but also think of it like this for the out of line of sight flying; you have either a gimbal mount camera or a front facing only one, neither give any good depth perception when it is flying at speed and doesn't show what is behind or to sides. so either way it is a massive safety problem
I grew up with a feminist mom who taught me all about how the courts tend to be biased a certain way depending on gender and what the case is about. Every time I hear about another qualified dad actually getting full custody it brings me hope that the vision she shared with me is one step closer to fruition.
Ok I totally thought you were going the opposite direction with your story. Guess I’ve heard to many horror stories about people taking feminism to the extreme and hating men for no other reason then what’s between their legs.
@@Allantitan I have a feeling that OP's mom would tell you that those people have missed the entire point.
@@SIS3W3N and I would have to agree (probably cause I know my grandparents would come back and haunt me horribly if I disrespected someone based on gender orientation etc)
I know of at least 4-5 dad’s who had custody of their children…one had full custody of one of them, another had full custody of not only his daughter but his stepdaughter as well!!! My son & his ex did their own divorce…he told her if you want it that bad, YOU move out & get full custody, she said ok. It’s been 2 yrs & now she has basically abandoned her 2 teenage boy’s for some guy…and yes, she had liberal visitation along with an entire month in the summer. She had my son come pick up the boy’s after only 2 1/2 wks, she couldn’t be away from her bf that long 🙄
@@Allantitan Nah, I grew up being treated as a male myself due to transitioning in adulthood and I know damn well that just having a dick or being socialized as a dude alone does not make someone worthy of my ire. I believe that the patriarchy we currently have in power fucks everyone over, just in different ways. For example as depressing as the statistics around how few female SA victims ever report the crime are the statistics around how many men report that shit are even more depressingly low. The reason why rates of reporting are low in general is due to the fact that many people have a tendency to shame anyone who reports SA, this is even worse for men who have often been conditioned from birth to think that admitting any weakness is tantamount to a mortal sin. This does have the upside that men are more likely to be believed in SA cases due to judges taking that into consideration but it's still some arbitery BS that makes life worse for everyone. As far as I'm concerned it's just another divide and conquer tactic where some psychopathic douchnozzle a long time ago said "hey look, I'm gonna be taking away some of your rights and imposing arbitery double standards on you but don't worry cause I'm gonna treat this other group slightly worse in a different way!" Also it's not like women aren't equally capable of being complete dickheads and creepwads, which brings up some more double standards that I think just sucks in general no matter who you are. Women are much more likely to get away with SA and in many case due to outdated laws a women can straight up do that shit without a court even considering it SA. That being said as far as we know women are less likely to commit SA in MOST circumstances fortunately though I do suspect we'll find the statistics aren't quite as skewed once we make some progress on that front. Also most of the time a women is murdered we find it's a man who committed the murder, this is also true when it comes to men and since even more men die from murder than women we'd actually be helping even more men than we would women by deconstructing whatever double standards in our societies social conditioning procedures causes this phenomena.
It's illegal to fly a drone over private property. Good for OP. Have a good evening
First story: No. Even if they get the worse consequences they still won't learn because for a Karen defy their orders is wish for immediate war.
A war that Karen will always lose.🤒☠️😾🔥👺⚡😈💀👹☠️🔥💩🗡️⚔️
"Uh ho!"
"Don't tell me, we're about to encounter an entitled person."
"Yep"
"Going to go insane?"
"Most likely."
"Bring it on."

BOOOOOOOO-YEEEEAAAAAHAHAHAH!
Bad llama
How DARE you make me read it in those voices.
The manager in the third story demonstrates power tripping done right.
Story 4: I'm 97.5% confident that flying drones, especially ones with cameras, into other people's backyards is illegal, and it could probably result in *multiple* criminal charges.
Also, the fact that the Karen was willing to stalk OP and do whatever she could to get full custody really shows how far deep one can go.
Good thing it backfired.
Fly a Drone over my Property without my permission and I'll knock it out of the air with a hose...
It's a federal offence to be caught surveilling another's property with a drone without a legal cause.
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan or a bb gun
yes, it is STRCTLY ILLEGAL to fly a drone OFF YOUR PROPERTY
My friend better hope it's illegal. He shoots them down. Usually with frozen paintballs.
Story one... Tell the old biddy to turn around, eff off and stop harassing him.
The pepper spray idea is good. 😎
Drone story....Slapping OP's phone from his hand.... Assault Charge!
And Karen slaps a cop.... because, you know, that always works out well for her. 😆
Drone story. They should have DWI on Karen as well.
so had this woman slapped the phone out of my wife's hand like that, she'd have needed a stretcher to get out of our driveway. yikes.
Hope he sues big time. Easy win to.
Story #4 - that Karen is nuttier than bat sh*t, and I really hope that Karen stays in the mental facility for an indefinite period of time, and that the father continues to have full custody of his son!
Yeah that kid was definitely taking after his mom. Hopefully his dad can straighten him out at least somewhat.
That second story would have been hilarious on my end. "I know the people who live here very well!" "Obviously you don't, or you'd know the 'people' who live here are me, myself, and I."
Story 1: I have 0 problem with people talking in public with headphones/on the phone regularly. What honestly pisses me off is the ones who have a conversation on SPEAKER. No one gives a damn what the hell is going on with your lifer and who is doing what. Have a little respect and talk like a decent human being instead of being a savage talking on speaker.
If it's at a store where you sent someone to shop for you and they have no idea what to look for so they basically go have to annoy an employee and then play the "I'm looking for x" game while on speaker with the person and an employee is also annoying. A little more understandable, but if you have to send someone to shop for you, make sure they know what the hell you want and what it's for.
🤦🏾♀️"Nuttier than squirrel shit!" I have to use that!!! 😂😂😂
how about “Nuttier than a squirrel turd at a peanut festival” ?
That first Karen reminds me of a homeless lady in my City. Although, she thinks the Government has spies everywhere, but she is the kind of person who will follow someone screaming about respect because they're on the phone.
Hopefully the kid learns from the dad in the last story
@@H-to-O time outs and loads of chores and not being allowed to do them the easy way. Ie: actually getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing the floor by hand or other manual labor
That's probably why he told his mom, the way it seems his mom would probably spoil him by allowing him to do whatever he wants. Obviously he was hoping his mom would get his drone back. I feel bad for the PI in cases like this because they don't know the reason for why this person hired them. But I am sure they gladly told she hired them. What exactly did she think, OP was going to be used. He probably wasn't going to be involved other than the drone incident. The mom played herself
13 year olds are terrifying, but parents who let their 13 year olds terrorize others are even worse. :(
No they're not if you don't let them be there or not but it's f****** pumpkins is all they are
🎉🎉
We should go back to the days where we could hit other people's kids in public when their parents won't. They will learn some manners one slap at a time.
i’m 14 but most of my life the most you would get from me is awkward silence (mostly because i’m never very social and i’m still not very social)
If i did that i would have "been shown every inch of the house" by my parents. And be made sure i will never do it again.
Giving no rules, no limits, no constructive criticism and no realistic ambitions to your child isn't a gift you're giving them but a massive gold ticket for the biggest slap in the world given by life itself or someone else.
For a # of years I dealt with someone who thought she was the center of the universe.
I didn't mind since she was my cat.
Thank you, I needed that laugh!
Well, yeah, cats ARE the center of the universe! I had a male cat who was absolutely certain he was.
Last story: if that woman failed a breathalyzer test, that would have been the icing on the cake, cause I do believe drinking wine before getting behind the wheel is drunk driving, and that woman clearly was a drinker, since OP mentioned her breath stank of merlot (a type of grape wine) when she yelled about the drone.
I am very certain being intoxicated will aggravate mental health issues, since a lot of these entitled people stories have the entitled pricks being drunk or high. Plus, alcohol is very easy to obtain for these overgrown children, since literally all you need is an ID. I am sure you can put two and two together with what I just said.
Well, seeing as she drove there, and was intoxicated in public, she got the DUI charges automatically. Blood draw would have nailed that coffin nice and shut at the station. As well her hiring a PI is further evidence as well of premeditation to commit assault on OP, which then further adds to the charges, as he is in no way assumed to be related to her.
@@SeanBZA Given that OP stated she was due to testify in court, you can throw witness tampering and conspiracy (he hired a third party to stalk OP) into the mix, which are way more serious than assault as far as the courts are concerned.
Story 3: Karens attack the pretty ones because in their minds "It's not fair that girl isn't abiding to my view of reality of pretty means gold digger. Pretty faces aren't supposed to be hard-working." Which is just a cover for their own insecurities about their own looks and attitudes. Jealousy and insecurity are the bedrocks of these Karens.
Not to mention projection
@@jacthing1 Yes. That's the other side of the coin.
But in the end, it has nothing to do with the pretty employees, it's all the Karens who think it's alright to act that way just because they're upset and angry.
@@girl1213 exactly... And/or they have undiagnosed/untreated mental health issues.
Last story:
A 13 year old destroying a garden and insulting his dad that "mom's always been the better parent".
One can very clearly see that he is very well on the path to be raised *as* a Karen.
I hope the dad lets him witness the fate of his mom and not trying to shield him from this nutty woman. The latter only would be good to encourage that behavior.
Hopefully that kid is sent to live solely with the father. He needs his father's parenting while he's still young enough to get his act together.
Story 1, is Karen yet again trying to force her way on op when she should be minding her damn business.
Story 3, a Karen always has to have everything done their way. If not all hell breaks loose. Op handled her perfectly and she never came back because she got told off and knew she wasn't going to get her way.
The last story, in the update, the Karen might as well have lost the custody case. She just made it so much much worse on herself and pretty sure she has officially screwed herself over. Hopefully the dad can actually raise the kid right. She screwed herself over and got herself in a mental institution!
Oh she lost more than the custody case, being declared a danger to society and put in an institution, because of diminished capacity. Highly unlikely she will be out in under 20 years, simply because the observation will take 2 to 3 years, then medication and observation. Then therapy sessions.
When someone get in a mental institution in a case similar to that, the only thing you know is the date of their admission. The release date is at the discretion of the therapists crew. That Karen may very well get her release from her death from old age.
I’m the acting manager at my store, and had a kid trying to argue with my sales associate about the policy for trying in shirts. We have no fitting room so to try on a shirt it has to be over your current shirt.
This kid took his shirt off and when he was told he couldn’t do that he kept arguing about why couldn’t he, and so I was called over and told the kid and his group of friends put your shirt on and get out.
Each time he tried to open his mouth I kept saying leave. He finally left when I told my sales supervisor to call security so they could be escorted out of the mall entirely. I protect my employees and will fight for them
Towing Story: I'd have just calmly waited for the tow truck leaning against my car...
That way, Karen would still be there when the Tow guy arrived and couldn't then claim she never called them in an attempt to avoid paying the Tow Fee...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Towing companies routinely record the calls, along with caller ID, so they can use it in court to get the money, plus legal costs. Single party consent states no mention, dual party consent there is a voice in the IVR before you get put through.
its funny how people stick their overly large nose into other's business except when crimes are actually being committed. lol
I hope everyone is having a great day/evening/night! Peace, hugs and love to you all! Thanks for all the great stories Fluff and Steveo! You guys are awesome!
Grab the hose & set the nozzle to anti-aircraft. 🤣 That's f-ing awesome! 🤣👍
Story two: I wouldn’t tell her, I’d leave her at her own devices hopefully the towing service will charge her a huge amount of money
I wouldn't have told her either.
worst if you tell her then the karen would want you to pay it cuz you should have told her that now you life in the house (not that she would belive you to begin with)
You should tell her so you get the pleasure of hearing her reaction
Suppose she goes into a tirade over all that
Last story:. It's a good thing the father got custody of the kid. The kid may get his drone back in the future if he learns how to use it properly.
On the topic of drones, it's actually legal to fly a drone over private property. How high you have to be depends on a lot of stuff. There's typically state laws, city ordinances, etc, but nobody owns the airspace above their house. That being said, even though a 13 year old is legally able to fly, obtain a cert from completing the TRUST (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) from the FAA (which is required to fly recreationally), and a 13 year old is legally old enough to register a drone to the FAA , flying a drone low enough to be able to harass a dog or be hit by a water hose would likely mean he was flying it way, way below being able to legally speaking. This is at least the case in the US.
For the second story, I worked fast food a teenager for a couple years and never a had a problem with people. Till I returned in my early 20's. I was working in the kitchen that day (cross trained for Cashier and kitchen) and our store took names to call out the order. Well one day there was a lady named Phyllis and I guess the cashier heard Willis. I went to the pop machine to get water cause, you know working in a kitchen is hot and you get thirsty. I had my apron on walking out of the kitchen to the front and this lady sees me and just yells at me saying her name is PHYLLIS NOT WILLIS. I had to apologize and say I'm sorry the cashier took the name down wrong. I was nice but just wanted to berate her cause she saw me coming out of the kitchen and just verbally attacked me when all I was doing was making the food
Regarding the first story, I will say that someone chatting loudly on a cell in public can, indeed, be very obnoxious - if you're in a place like a movie theater or a subway station, or some other place that's packed with people and they all have to listen to you yowl about your groceries. A long, largely empty stretch of road is not one of those places - it shouldn't matter if you ARE talking to yourself; if you're not in a crowded area, you should be able to do whatever the hell you want (not to the point of illegality, of course. But you know what I mean). Maybe that Karen had been burnt too many times.
And personally, I was left feeling a little worried for the kid in that last story. A crazy woman being crazy is one thing, but it sounds like her ex is going to have an uphill battle with their son. If he prefers his mom because she lets him do whatever the hell he wants to do, AND SHE'S CRAZY - well, that kid is going to have some issues, both later in life and probably now.
Last Story: Man, that's one way for your kid to get on the bad side of the FAA, which I would suggest not doing if you ever wanna fly somewhere ever again.
Third story: Seriously, the services should have a rigjt to treat Karens as they treate them. And I can smell a fake complain to get more for free.
That last story... All I can say is... "Whoahhhhh......"
"Nuttier than squirrel shit..." That's hilarious LOL. I'm stealing that one!
We had a drone fly over our backyard one night. It was well after midnight too! Somehow it ended up in a Bazilion pieces! 🤷🏼♀️ It was the strangest thing! Kind of looked like a clay pigeon! 🎯
Sorry not sorry! 😉
When I worked at Mcdonald's it amazed me how many people would come back 20-30 minutes after getting their food and tell us it was cold. Most had not even eaten more than 1-2 bites, so I don't think it was a scam. Just people who think a paper wrapper is magical insulation that can keep food hot forever.
Yeah. I had people call me saying their fries were cold after a 20 minute drive. I would tell them "We throw them away after 7 minutes." Every single time, without fail, they would ask me how they were expected to keep them warm for half an hour on the way home. The only response I had was "Lady, if you can figure that out, you're going to be a millionaire" and they would instantly stop being mad.

With a little experimenting you can pretty easily figure out which carry-outs stay warm and which get cold during your drive home. For instance, most pizzas stay warm, which is probably why they’re a popular carry-out, but OMG not Donatos!

Years ago, my best friend used to work in the karaoke section of a legendary record store in Times Square.
One day, an annoyed customer called the store following a purchase, demanding to speak to "the black guy in karaoke".
The lady at the counter relayed this to my friend, who then picked up the phone and said, "Black guy in karaoke. How can I help ya?"
All he heard on the other end was stuttering.
He hung up on them.
Thanks for the great stories. I look forward to them. Have a great weekend people and be good to each other. 👍
Story 4: I had something similar happen to me but way worse, in reference to the love tap in the update. Was leaving work and getting followed. On a busy road, these guys were weaving around me yelling and blocking my path for some reason. They followed me quite a ways and I saw my chance to calmly slow down, switch lanes and turn off to a friend's who lived in the area and would help me call the police cuz I didn't have my phone.
They got into my turn lane after seeing what I was about to do and caused me to basically turn them 180 on a busy road. So I tried to find a place to pull off, now aware I'll have to deal with them and try to get the cops involved without being able to call myself. Tried to turn down a different side street, clearly going slow and flashing hazards. As soon as I stop, 4 guys from the car hop out and book it at my car with weapons, causing me to nope out and pull away.
They did it one more time before I realized I'd have to drive to the police or get assaulted for no apparent reason. They managed to poof on me, but then I got blocked in and drawn on by 4 patrol cars for a hit and run. Eventually they understood what happened and wrote me a ticket for speeding, but then wrote tickets out for the people in the now TWO cars full of guys who had been planning to pincer me if one of them hadn't called from the first car along the way.
The problem got consistent cuz they wrote my address on their tickets and the driver's on mine, so I was stalked, threatened, and vandalized intermittently for about a year. I still don't know what I did to these people.
Hey Fluff and Steve tks for the great stories as always! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Story 1, surprise, surprise Karen, here's the tow bill.
First story,
Karen: dont talk out loud!!
*Proceeds to talk out loud*
OP's comment in the last story about the Karen being "nuttier than squirrel crap" made me laugh a bit too hard. Seriously though, how can people honestly think such behaviour is appropriate?
"Nuttier than squirrel crap" LOL! This is the 1st time I heard this and I'm smiling ear-to-ear.
I thought I had never encountered a "Karen" until Story #1 reminded me. My friend had broken up with her bf, so we went to Hawaii to give her a getaway/breather. At Waikiki Beach, a cute guy began to flirt with me and asked if me and my friend would like to go dancing that night. I thanked him, and politely begged off, saying my friend was not up to it. The cute guy changed instantly into a raging Kevin! He began shouting at my friend, :What's wrong? Are you too good for me?!" We picked up our stuff and left the beach with him on our heels for BLOCKS, continuing to shout at us both. As we neared the hotels, the guy backed off, thank God!
Ah, I'd heard the first part of that last story. Glad to hear Karen is off the streets!
You'd be surprise at the monsters this world can create.
Story four: ...Esa tip@ está loca. *Bien loca.* She deserved to lose custody of that brat. 😨
The 13 year old comes back with his father who knew that his son was probably lying about what his son did. Then he calls his entitled drunk mom and has her come over to act like a drunking fool cause her entitled son got caught being a little tool. She deserved to get arrested for drunk driving, and needs a lesson for her entitled behavior. Then she stalks OP, and lies about it and thinks she is going to get custody of her son. I hope she never gets that son back and stays for a long time in the aysylm, cause her behavior is so out outrageous and frightening
I once got a Karen and her kids kicked out of a mall. About 20 years ago, I worked at a place called Taco Time, in a mall food court. I rarely worked up front and mostly did prep work in the back. One day, I was doing my usual stuff when I heard a laoud "Excuse me! Hellooo!", followed by someone banging on the counter up front. I walked up to see what she wanted. This woman says "I ordered an ice water and YOU didn't give it to me!". Even though I had nothing to do with preparing or serving her order, I smiled and appologized and filled up an ice water for her. When I sat it on the counter, she slapped it, causing water to splash on me and all over the register and counter. She then turned and walked back to the table where her two kids sat, looking asshamed of her behavior. I was having none of it. I called security and told them what happened. A few minutes later, two security guards walked up and asked where she was. While I was talking to them, the Karen was looking at us and I looked her right in the eye and pointed to her. She looked down and pretended to be messing with her food. Security walked over and told her she needed to leave. They gave her the walk of shame right out the door. I felt bad for her kids. They looked embarrassed as hell and I'm guessing it's not the first time she's acted like that. I felt like I had to do something because I didn't want those kids to grow up thinking it was acceptable to behave like a peice of shit in public.
Glad to find a new Fluff vid just in time when I need to hear a kind voice.
"How dare you be so disrespectful! *continues to disrespect you and your mom for several blocks at least* oh my God kids these days are so disrespectful!
That final story... I really hope that kid doesn't end up with his mom's attitude
I'd tell the old biddy "Respect is earned. You have not earned it!"
@@mikukurisaki3413 That kid is well on the way to becoming a male Karen.
My mother once had to pay to replace a Karen's front bumper on her Lexus to fix scratches on it that she put there after viciously rubbing her hand on her dusty bumper.
"What scratch? Where?"
"RIGHT HERE!!!" As she furiously rubs the area.
This was also after a light tap like what OP did in the last story.
That crazy lady putting her hands on her own bumper did more damage than that tap.
the ones that shout most about people having no respect seem to always be the ones with the least respect
Thank god karen got herself arrested for her crazyness best part of every entitled parent episodes
The last one was like... HOLY CRAP ON A STICK!!! That karen got her charges dropped??? She should get her ass rotting in jail!!!
So satisfying to hear that lady was put in a facility.. I wish that would happen more often.
'Nuttier than squirrel shit" LMAO, what a description! :D
last story, you can probably bet that the kid in the situation STILL thinks his dad is the worst parent and has already inherited the mom's entitled behavior, so it's probably too late for the kid.
Story 4: OP should give the drone to the dad. He could either put it somewhere his kid couldn't find or just sell it after fixing it.
And that woman. This KAREN! Is an idiot that thinking getting OP involved in a custody case would work. Making OP the guy who is so vile when he confiscated her kid's drone when she was actually the one who is more vile.
And she's drunk. Boy this got really worse when it first mentioned. Alcohol is bad, especially when you are supposed to be a good example to your children, and she's the worst example of a parent should be.
She is drunk and also has mental health issues? Bad combination. Get the men in white coats with a butterfly net and a straightjacket to pick up Karen.☠️🤡😜😝😖🤑👻
Alcohol IN MODERATION isn’t a bad thing. Alcohol to excess is bad news no matter what your marital/parental status is!
@@dragondancer1814 Still alcohol is bad, it is okay to have it but not too much. I should've added that when I was typing.
Gasp! Fluff read another one of my stories! I'm flattered! Excellently read as always sir!
So…the Karen from Story 4 will be in a mental health facility until she is deemed safe to re-enter society? Sounds like a life sentence to me 😂😂
Last story: Two words-
Restraining Order
a Restraining Order isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, and the only thing that will make the karen realize that they royally screwed up is when they’re staring down the barrel of a loaded firearm
I like talking to myself, it keeps me calm and relaxed.
First story: the proper response would be "well Karen, I don't like it when YOU talk out loud in public either, so why don't YOU shut up!" 😎
Yeah flying drones over private property is illegal, and im pretty sure flying it over head near or over a school is illegal too, i know it is near airports as well
My favorite fast food manager of all time threatened to take a customer out and engage in a gentlemanly brawl with the guy because he was on the verge of climbing the counter because we made the order before his before making his order.
I love when managers get full, unrestricted permissions to stand up for their employees.
In the UK, employers must protect their staff from harassment by law. We don't really have Karens like in the USA. I did witness a bit of a Karen episode only yesterday but it was an Eastern European woman who misunderstood the way she was charged in a charity store. Other customers were ready to beat her up so things planned out very different than the way she possibly expected.
That would be so nice
I’m sorry, but I don’t see why it’s illegal to piss in your own back garden if no one’s around!
I get 9 nuggets instead of 10, wrong order, extra or missing food... I feel like it's the universe telling me that's what I need and I take it and leave. I don't understand people who make big deals out of it. Like I understand people who want to get what they ordered, but be nice about it. I wouldn't trust food from a minimum wage worker who just got yelled at for an honest mistake.
Yes, it is against the law to fly a drone over any private property, or near government property. Also if the drone is above a certain size, you are required to register it with the FAA and get a license to use it. OP had every right to take the drone down like that. My folks had a similar incident in their neighborhood except it involved a shovel and the drone experiencing what it's like to be a fly getting hit by a fly swatter. My father still has the busted up drone in his garage like a trophy heh.
Anyway, the mother came and tried to get it back and after the cops told her that what her son had done was violate our privacy and that the drone was now legally his property. She then tried to get my father in trouble with the HOA, and was basically told the same thing. 2 days later there was a massive e-mail and a printed letter sent out to all the residents of the subdivision about the use of drones and the rules regarding them.
There was a positive thing that came out of this though other than the Karen being taught a lesson. The drone had been harassing my folks' little Pomeranian named P.J. and sadly they lost him back in March of 2021. They did get a new Pom pup in the end of April that they named Chewie, because his coloration reminded them of Chewbaca. My mom always missed her little 'Punkinhead,' as she called him as he was very attached to her. So for Mother's Day last year, I managed to get the SD card out of the drone and thankfully there was a few videos of him on it. I got those and burned them onto a disc so my mother could watch it whenever she wanted. Sadly she passed on New Years day and she was cremated and the urn we have her ashes in is more like a chest and that CD is one of the things we put in with her.
Story 1: That sounds like more than entitlement. I think the lady had a few screws loose.
The second one with the towing. I wouldn't as well warn that Karen. But knowing how Karens act. She'd probably more likely than not want OP to pay for it cause it's not her fault that she's that stupid.
Story 4: super dad, no question, he is super dad.
Story 3: You'd have to be on a whole new level of miserable to be an adult harassing teenagers/younger adults. And over really tiny stuff too.
It costs you $0 to be nice and not harass people
I've actually seen stories about restaurants who give discounts when the patron adds the word "please" at the end. So, in some cases, it could literally SAVE you money lol.
Yes! She literally complained because she got more than others and she decided to direct it at the girl. Just because...reasons.
And I think being polite might make people more inclined to give you extra without asking. Literally got a little extra because I was nice to an employee once. I mean, is it that hard to say thanks?
Being polite to fast food workers has rewarded me with extra nuggets and free milkshakes a lot.
Even when I'm in a bad mood I won't take it out on another person.
Agree French fries get cold fast so I just eat them on the way home.
First story, I would then open Loudspeaker and then talked with phone in front of her and as close as it's not illegal, so the Human Aunt (Thai language for Karen) could have some fun
To be honest, that last story was very unfortunate for OP, but I am sure the dad of the story is almost relieved for it to have happened. That whole situation would have given his lawyer(s) very strong evidence against the mother, making the custody case a slam dunk, despite mothers still being favored in divorce courts. I know divorced people that would celebrate this kind of thing happening. Something somewhat similar happened with me and a friend's dad - I unintentionally helped him with a court case and he took me out to dinner over it lol.
It is also for the best that this happened for the development of the child as well. We need less kids being raised by monsters that could potentially become monsters themselves. We need more kids raised by parents that encourage respecting other people's boundaries, like it seems the dad was trying to do.
Just a thought: in the third story, the manager points out that "this is a franchised restaurant and therefore private property." Even if it wasn't franchised, its still private property. Unless the government owns it, its private. Doesn't matter if its open to the public or anything. If a person or a company owns it, its private not public. I think this manager is amazing for standing up for his employees.
Fourth story: Flying a drone over private property in order to spy on people on that property is a federal crime. Its also an invasion of privacy tort, which means you can sue that person. In this case, the person you would sue would be the custodial parent, since the boy was a minor. Damaging his garden is both destruction of property, trespass, and several other torts and crimes. Further, the mother slapping the phone out of OP's hand is battery, which is another crime and another lawsuit. Honestly, I don't cast blame on the kid. With a mother like that, I can't imagine him turning out much better. This is despite the fact that I give kids a great leeway to begin with because, well, they're kids. Kids act irresponsibly solely because they don't have the life experience to judge correctly on what they should and shouldn't do.
Drone; It is Illegal for a Drone to fly over anyone's Property(Federal Law, FAA Drone Rules for about 5 Years Now), so that person that reported that so called Infraction, Just Admitted they broke Federal Law, and the Cop should be Arresting them!! Wow, Total Harassment , Assault, Damaging Private property, AND a UNFIT Mother, and Then Stalking. Take Her to court as you would easily win a Lawsuit.👎👮
So legally in the United States flying a drone over peoples property is protected. Basically you have the right to film in public and the Supreme Court has consistently affirmed this to be legal.
Now the area where this has not been tested yet is trespassing. Basically once the drone gets to a certain area can trespassing be an issue?
Any time someone asks you if you are talking to yourself … yes, yes you are and you can tell yourself out loud that you were doing it again getting into an argument with yourself until the person leaves you, the “crazy person” alone. Acting crazy usually makes then run fast
That third story, my general manager when I worked at the McD's close to my home was definitely NOT Team Staff. She would deliberately let customers be rude to us in every possible way, even to the point of screaming, profanity, and throwing stuff at us, all because they're customers. And she even used the complaints from these rude f***s to justify not giving us raises or promotions. I still to this day have no regrets for the day I finally told her to shut the F up.
Drone story... Big misconception that I would like to point out, 1st off, I am a Part 107 licensed drone pilot and can tell you that flying over a house is 100% LEGAL, BUTTTTTTT... the pilot cannot lose line of sight during flight and the drone cannot come into close proximity to people or animals with the intention to harass them. To be that low in someone's backyard will violate certain rules but flying over property does not.
Since the OP was protecting the dog from the drone, he's in no trouble, he also could have kept it much like a lost baseball
No I'd make sure to follow the tow truck drivers straight to her house so I could hear the conversation
I would be very quick to get an unknown car towed from my property. Park on my property, your car goes away, with or without you! 😡
Story 4 was fairly interesting until they mentioned that starting uphill can cause you to roll back a foot. Sorry, but whoever is roling back while putting the car in gear, should not ever drive a manual car. You can stay on the break an clutch to put the gear in, and then release break and clutch slowly at the same time to stay in place. If you have any kind of experience, you'd quickly switch to instantly releasing the breaks completely and the clutch into the friction zone and instantly pressing on the gas pedal.
During my time in driving school I rolled back while trying to figure out what to do, sure, but about a month after getting my licence I already knew how to start uphill without rolling back.
A "love tap" is something that should never ever happen!
Damn,did the karen in the last story is/was mafia or something ? Hired people to following OP.
One of my local McDonalds' has a large handmade sign near the counter that says "Entitled and abusive customers are not welcome and will be asked to leave. Either by the manager or the police". This is because that restaurant has gotten so many Karen's abusing staff that for about 4 months, last year, there was a police car stationed there during opening hours.
I got a Karen story for you: I'm a manager at a retail chain (living in a recession sucks). The Karen I encountered demanded her money back on her return. She had an expired receipt so we can only give her store credit. She goes on a tirade about how store credit forces you to shop at the same store (no duh) and that she has never heard about such a policy. I tell my cashier to just refuse the return because she wants what we cannot give her. She quickly changes her mind. The cashier later told me that the customer was reporting me to corporate. So far I got no complaints from my boss.
2:33 she most likely won't even learn her lesson after that!! She could go to jail for this x amount of years, and still go back to beating on someone else
Last story. First I am a licensed drone pilot so I am required to know the rules. Flying over private property is not illegal as airspace is regulated by the FAA. That being said what this kid was doing could get him in trouble with the FAA if it was reported and the FAA decided to take action. Also when flying over private property it is always best to inform the property owners if you are going to be flying low say under 100 feet ( no set limit on this) because about 100 feet you really are not going to be potentially interfering with anything on said property.
