Oh shoot I had no idea about the disabled bus seat thing. I've seen bus drivers allowing people to sit in those spots as long as nobody needed it, as long as they moved when someone who needed it came along. I had no idea they are supposed to be kept empty all the time. My apologies. 😭😭😭😭
That's what the sign on the buses in my area say. I figure it's the difference between priority seating (disabled, elderly, and pregnant people get priority) and disabled seating.
It must be different for different bus companies. The one I work at in Ohio the front few seats are Priority seats for Elderly and disabled. Anyone can sit there but if some mentioned above gets on the bus the driver can ask you to move for them.
@@amandagreen8568 yeah I think thats what the busses where I live say. That disabled elderly wheelchair and pregnant people have priority if they show up.
In my area as well, you can sit there if nobody needs it. It’s not like handicapped parking since you can move yourself when someone frailer needs the seat.
School has changed so much since the '80s. Had that happened to me, I would have walked out of class, and not returned. I certainly wouldn't have showed up for detentions.
Story 3: Sounds like they were favoring the brother and OP losing a lot of weight has damaged the brother's ego. Rather than encourage the brother to start getting his life together, the parents want to drag OP down. Good riddance
Oh they definitely favored the brother. If you read his other posts, you find the older brother(with the parent's help) tried to trick OP out of roughly $2500 for "rent" when in reality, it was used for a vacation abroad. OP sued the older brother, won, and went NC with the three of them.
So... to be able to be bang in peace, she though she could schedule OP out of her appartment 2 days a week and decide all the decoration (cause I guess she need it to be in the mood?!?) and also decide on where everything gonna go in her "friend" appartment.... Her BF must be something else in the bed to be so much out of track to have it and in need of being loud!
I once fell off the slide in elementary and cut my knee wide open. I was spilling blood everywhere and the teacher watching the playground says "eh, you'll live" and walked away. No call to my parents, just had to finish the school day, got a demerit for staining the floors with my blood and went home. Mom and dad were unamused with them for that.
I also have an "invisible disability" and I can't say enough about how people need to mind their own business and stop harassing people who are sick but apparently don't look it. I think I look like shit, but people tell me I look fine.
I was on the bus to work one day, and a grown ass women actually tried to trip me on my way out, I stepped over and said "OUCH HE STEPPED ON ME, I WANT THE POLICE" failing to realize she was on camera, nothing came of it afterwards
Story 4: Disabled people seem to always get the worst from people. It's like a constant that people will look down on people who have broken bones or can't do something normally.
It's a long tradition of people, to use the disabled as a forge to work out their own personal issues and insecurities. I doubt the courses, that the teacher was forced to take, would change her behaviour. She'll just become more subtle and careful about it.
It's not only disabled people, it's the position of power as a teacher, that AH individuals sometimes seek to unleash their frustrations onto the ones that can't fend for themselves because it's easy. PD: not saying all teachers are like this because that is 100% wrong. But some AH, do like this power positions over others to extert damage to other as a way to feel better with themselves...and this doesn't only happen in the education system.
Story 3: OP's mom probably wanted OP to continue paying for his gym membership on his brother's behalf. Otherwise there would be nothing stopping OP and his brother from going to the gym together.
You’d be surprised how many people who never have a good word to say to you about your weight all of a sudden get an attitude when you lose weight. It’s like they’re invested in you being fat-to shit talk you about it, if nothing else.
1st story. If the old lady stuck out her foot on me, I'd aim for the ankle. 2nd. What is with the amount of stories about people thinking they deserve others house. 3rd. Toxic family is not family at all. 4th. That's not a teacher. That's a bully given authority they don't deserve.
@@lancerevell5979 in my high school art class i got a bad cut on one hand and was told by the docs to keep it clean and dry. the teacher despite the fact i could pull the wound open said 'you have to keep using paint' got a sub and showed her the wound. she took one glance and said 'oh no sweetie you're going back to colored pencils' and shooed me to the desk.
Story 1: Wow. I'd be reminding this Karen to remember people like Stephen Hawking, Michael J. Fox, Annette Funicello, and Christina Applegate, all of whom could move and speak perfectly normally in their younger years before a nasty slow disease gradually took much of their body functions away. And that Karen better thank the grace of God that it didn't happen to her.
Story 4: the fact the the education board only halved that teachers bonus is disgusting. It was plain bullying and they should have a 0 tolerance to it, ESPECIALLY when it's a teacher doing it.
Perhaps that was the maximum penalty that the school board was allowed to hand out unless it went to court. School boards and boards of education do have (sometimes severely) limited authority, especially once that teacher has tenure.
Tenure is a concept that needs to be heavily overhauled. Pretty much the only way to have a tenured teacher/professor get adequate consequences is if they are facing jail time
yea well this behavior will cost you your job in germany soooo there is that too. There are more places on earth than the US luckily.. cant imagine that swapping over to us... i am ok with children these day's being disrespectfull aholes, yet going up against teachers too? To much. Them children we can still form, thats called disciplinary action. Teacher that are above 50? Yea nope, all we can do is cost them their job thus their rent. Thats also a huge point of why they dont even RISK that behavior. Rarely they do, but then again, thats in more advanced grades sooo the kids are teens by then and know perfectly well how teacher need to behave
My girlfriend has MS and people keep telling her to get a job and work even though she's disabled. She can maybe be fine for a few weeks at work but could barely walk after her shift but the would relapse and be in the ER unable to move. She'd get put on meds that would get her to work maybe a month but it was rinse and repeat with the hospital trips.
I'm sorry she's going through that. I hope they find a treatment that helps as much as possible. MS is a brutal disease and some of the nicest people I've met have it. I have issues with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia - get told to work all the time. They don't like it when I retort "where can I find a job that I can work 3 hours a day 3 days a week that will let me call out at will".
@@m2hmghb she's luckily on a treatment but we became long distance so she could move to a flatter area and I can't up and move but it's easier for her than we're I live. Hills are her biggest obstacle and that's all the area I live in is.
I once knew a woman who I considered the ultimate klutz. She not only broke a glass at least every other day at the bar she worked at and sewed through her thumb while quilting (twice) but things just happened to her. One night during winter she was taking the trash out at closing when the ice on the roof slid off and crashed down on her head. When she told me about it the next day I asked if she should really be at work. She said it was her 14th concussion. I thought uneasily to myself that I guess she knows what she's doing.
I've gotten my head knocked by the ice machine lid and busted my ass falling on the floor more than I can count and I'm lucky I haven't ended up concussed ":> At some point you just accept life as a slapstick 😅
Honestly the silliest thing for me with story 2 isnt even the whole swapping thing but the fact that she wanted to take OPs bed but wouldn't even offer her own in return. Instead they would get the couch. She wants OPs bed and to be allowed to have sex while in it but OP doesnt even get offered her bed as a place to sleep for them.
That’s so Gross! Expecting OP to give up their own bed every weekend so EF and her bf can do the nasty in it. Then expect them to put fresh sheets on and clean up after you. 🤢🤮
Story 3: Sadly, this is not atypical. Overeating is an addiction and the family members are codependents. The “addict” made the change, but the family is uncomfortable with the new dynamic. I had a friend who worked hard to get in shape and lose over 100 pounds. Her husband got her a 5# bag of chocolate kisses for Valentines Day and couldn’t understand why she was so upset. He became jealous if she spoke to any male and eventually she filed for divorce.
With Story 2, I would have asked her, "Let me ask this, who's name is on the Lease? Oh yeah, it's MY name on the Lease, not yours and if you even think of redecorating MY Apartment without my Permission then you are banned."
Story 4: I’m a secondary teacher & yup…have worked with plenty of them. And you don’t even need to have a disability, a kid taking a day off school coz they just don’t feel up for it? What grownup (teachers included) doesn’t do that now & then? But children/teenagers are expected to be more dedicated?
Story 3: Brother could stop smoking, and would then have easily enough money to pay for a gym membership. He could also resume jogging, and might not even need the gym membership.
It was the mother and not the brother who was wanting him to do all this. The brother didn't mention anything to him. So I'm really glad OP decided to cut all ties with them. He's had them and their demeaning attitude around his neck for far too long anyway.
Karen..... "You don't look disabled!" Me..... "You don't look so stupid and entitled either!" 🤨 Story three.... I'm a big guy too. Had to lose weight to enlist into the Navy (second hitch) after being out of the service eight months. Many years later, I spent five weeks in the hospital after a medical emergency. A friend remarked on the weight I had lost. I told her, "Yeah, I'm half the man I used to be!" 😆
My mind just played the dial-up noise when the mother at story 3 said those things. It's not OP's problem if the brother chooses to be unhealthy on his thirty.
I had a teacher in fifth grade that humiliated me. I was stressed out from constant bullying, and as a result I started losing my hair. I had a huge bald spot on the side of my head. I had to be prescribed a medication for it. Other teachers let me wear a hat until my hair grew back, but this particular teacher did not. She made me take my hat off and the entire class could see my bald spot. I wanted to hide and cry from the humiliation. When my mom found out, she called the school to complain. The teacher was told to let me wear my hat in her class until my hair grew back.
As a kid growing up and even into my 30's, I've always played hard. I've broken my bones more times than I can count. From jumping off the jungle gym at 8 to a motorcycle accident at 34. I've had a broken hip, 2 broken ribs, 4 concussions, at least a dozen broken wrists and assorted other injuries. I can completely relate to that last OP's story. At 62 all I can tell you is that arthritis is a real pain. But I'm glad that I lived an adventurous life rather than living my life in bubble wrap.
I "Don't Look Sick", and there have been times when I have had to flash my national disability card. I can stand and walk, but not for very long or very far. If the bus moves before I get a seat, I lose my balance and go flying down the aisle every single time.
Story 3: I think I have a different take here. Now to be clear, OP is clearly the best person in the story and the mother is off her rocker. But I see these stories all the time and ask myself why it hurts their ego so much. Then it hit me: OP was the benchmark. OP was the scapegoat that every sibling could look at and think “As long as I am doing better than him I am in the clear”. That is why it hurts their ego so much, because the benchmark just got raised and they can’t just out themselves as horrible people or hypocrites. OP keep being your best person dude!
Yeah, first story pisses me off. I have Lupus and a bunch of other autoimmune disorders. We might look "healthy" but I assure you, we are not. Sometimes the pain is unbearable. I hope OP finds relief and feels better.
Yeah, probably my favourite story about assumptions about disabilities is a woman who assumed op was illegally parking in a disabled spot because they looked too "happy" to be disabled.
There is something called a "sugar tong cast." They have an Ace bandage on the skin, a plaster cast that goes around the elbow and down each side of the arm. Think "U" shaped. The tong has velcro around it to lock it on. You CAN take it off, but it's not supportive if it's off. I know this because I broke my wrist falling off a 3-foot high porch with a toddler on my hip. I "hip-hefted" her onto my left hip and there wasn't much porch under my right foot and I fell off. I tried to catch myself with my right hand and ended up breaking the little bones in my wrist under my thumb. I was six weeks in that cast. I could remove it for no more than 10 minutes, just to take a shower three times a week. My sister had to put the wrap back on for me and help with replacing the cast. So, OP can have a cast that is removable, but that teacher needed to shut her pie hole and the substitute needed to be removed from the sub list. And, I can totally understand the girl on the bus. I have MS (and fibromyalgia) and there are just times you can't move. We look totally fine, but looks don't show everything going on. If anyone wants to know how it feels, there's a website with The Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino that is a wonderful explanation of people with hidden illnesses.
I had a similar experience as the first op. I was taking my daughter (then 3) to the ER on the bus and encountered a Karen in the wild. It took all I had to just keep my head down and my mouth shut. I finally snapped and asked (rather loudly) for her to move along before I moved her along. (I was in NO mood at that point and was already in full on panic mode worrying about my daughter and getting her to the hospital) Thank God the bus driver is one I've known for years and Karen ended up getting booted off the bus. This was 12 years ago. I don't take the bus anymore. (Anxiety sucks)
Story 4: I'm surprised that the teacher didn't call Child Protection Service on the parents for suspected child abuse. I know that uncoordinated children are out there, but here, at least (don't know what country this was), teachers are REQUIRED to tell the authorities if it could (in any way at all) be child abuse, regardless of what the parent or child tells them. Doctors and nurses are also required to report suspected cases.
First story reminds me when i had to take the bus after a surgery on my mouth, from outside i looked fine but anesthesia was slowly going off (we don't have that funny gas here, anesthesia in dentist is really just so you don't feel him cutting your mouth open) so i was in incredible pain. Someone tried to complain about my seat but luckly i was with my grandma who told them i was sick cause honestly i couldn't even talk Bless Grandma Tutu
I thought the story where the Karen wanted to trade homes OP was gonna get crazy, (like if Karen were to sneak into OP's home when they're sleeping or something like that), but no she's just bad-mouthed OP on Facebook
Did you notice that Karen said that if she and OP switched places, that OP would STILL be sleeping on Karen's couch in her old place, not in Karen's old room? And what made Karen think that OP would be ok with this plan, when she didn't even ASK before she started saying what had to be done to make the place to KAREN'S standards? Did she really think that OP would just let her do what she wanted and NOT get mad? Someone needs to call the mad house and see if they're missing a "guest", and if so, let them know where she is. If not, let them know that she needs to be one.
Story 4: I will never understand how teachers who decide that it's a great idea to feud with their students can get and keep their jobs as teachers. Your a grown ass adult and they are a child. Act your freaking age. Even if you have a student who actually doesn't behave well just administer the appropriate discipline and let it go. And you definitely shouldn't use your power to bully students with disabilities/ injuries. How are you a teacher when you behave like that? I don't even like kids and I wouldn't even consider treating kids like that.
An operative word to this story is “tenure”. Once a teacher gets tenure they can remain untouchable in many cases. I do have a secondary degree in education but have never taught because it paid so much less than being a “secretary” at an aerospace plant. But I know about tenure.
Yeah, that's the biggest issue. Just because someone doesn't _look_ disabled doesn't mean they aren't. I should know because I have a mental disorder that I won't disclose for privacy reasons.
My dad was a bus driver. One time, a Young Guy was sitting in the disable/ elderly SEAT, when a older (but not old) woman scolded him for taking "her" SEAT, when he was Young and fit. He didn't fuss, but grabbed his leg, and let i dump to the floor with a thump, and then did it with the other leg. Grabbed his chruches, stod Up and slowly Walker down the aile to another SEAT. He was an double ampute, and only about 20 years old. She ran out the bus at the next stop.
When I was in the fourth grade, I had to wear a cast over the first few weeks of the school year because I had broken my right arm over the summer. I had to wear the cast for six weeks and a brace for six weeks and by the time Halloween 1994 rolled around I was free of the brace. Now all that's left on my right arm is the scar on the elbow. So OP was definitely not faking her injuries as I've had to go through it myself.
Having broken my arm as a kid, had several surgeries and pain syndrome, I know for a fact there are better ways to go about getting attention than breaking your arm 17 times. All the teacher has to do was be compassionate, have a meeting with op's mom, and attempt to make things a little better. Not so difficult.
You know what occurs to me? There is a possibility that someone watched one of these videos and recognized that the story was about them. I would pay good money to see that.
My own bus story, I was on my day off but had to go to court on a work related matter I went to my job site to pick up my paperwork and court disposition form, and went to take the bus that went to the court, ( which happened to be in the Chicago Police HQ) The bus hadn't gone more than three stops, before An entitled jerk got on, and proceeded to light a huge, and extremely foul smelling cigar! ( smoking is forbidden on CTA buses and trains) At this point a very diminutive, and well dressed young woman approached him, and in a very no nonsense manner requested that he put the cigar out, he took a deep draw, and then blew the smoke directly into her face, and told her to duck off he was going to enjoy his smoke! Game on! She informed him, that he was under arrest, and he took a swing at her, bad mistake! In the blink of an eye, the guy was eating floor mat! The young lady was not only a police detective, but an unarmed combat instructor, at the police academy! The bus driver had already radioed for help, so when the bus pulled up at Police HQ it was met by a swarm of police officers, who were none too gentle, in removing said jerk from the bus, and taking him straight to booking. It was the only time I've ever seen a police officer get a standing ovation from the riders of a crowded bus!
It’s practically impossible to cancel your own gym membership in person with 5 different forms of ID. How does this woman think she can do it I’ve the phone on her kid’s behalf?
Story 4: "Well, teacher, how about we ask this class of medical professionals whether YOU need to get your butt spanked with barbed wire? Oh, look, 100% approval rate... Now, BEND OVER!"
My friend at college had MS and sometimes I didn't see her for weeks. We sat together on the bus, she told me she was glad to be sitting with someone because she was always wary of people judging her for not giving up her seat and insisting she does, also, she NEVER used the disabled seats because of this. Shes already exhausted for attempting to live her life and she should be able to relax on the bus like everyone else, I hate the thought of disabled people, especially young people, constantly worrying about this, I'm sure the elderly don't have to worry about that.
Last story: Only thing is that the teacher's bad decisions/treatment were triggered by the unacceptable behaviour of the sub, where's the justice of fixing the sub for LYING? What kind of teacher lies to her colleagues about a student?
On the last story, they need to kick that teacher out before they escalate the bullying...and I say this because I lived through my sister being bullied on HS by a teacher. As in OP's story, my sis wasn't the first or the last one to endure what that POS liked to do. We had several meetings with the teacher and directives over the issue and nothing was done (we even thought of changing schools but sis didn't want it because she would lost her friends on the 2 last years of HS). We graduated and like 3 years later another girl became the target...but this time, the mother was not happy to endure the multiple parent teacher reunions were this AH told her how bad her girl was, and left the room on one. Teacher got mad and walked after her berating both of them, until she decided to take her frustration out by pushing the mom over the stairs. The woman end up badly hurt, with several witnesses because this happened over a recess.. and of course she demanded the school and the AH teacher. Teacher reached an agreement to quit in order to save face to the school, but she had to sell everything to pay for her trials, and of course, can't ever be a teacher again becasuse of her records. So yeah, justice was done, but it required for a parent to suffer multiple life risk injuries and have several children traumatized because of seeing this aggression.
10:45 To be fair, if OP ate just the protein and kept the carbs low, he could still maintain his weight. The big lie is fat is bad. It's high carb intake that's the issue.
I am a disabled Woman Veteran. I had a Couple stop me in the handicap parking. Told me WTF do you think your doing? I had a long dress... As I lifted my dress-- 2 knee braces and ankle. They ran I to the store..... I told them they are not the parking police and if there was a problem. Please call them... Mean people SUCK! ✌️
Story 4: IMHO I would have destroyed that teacher directly in public at one of these meetings, bringing my kids entire medical file with me and pointing them out. "Hey I hear you have an issue with my kid and her medical problems, here is a list of them, tell me again what ones you think are fake in your extensive medical experience." and bring up every complaint about the teacher in front of everyone. I'm evil that way.
Story one: MS is a serious disease, and people need to understand that when someone needs the seat, they NEED the seat. While I feel that OP didn't need it, that's besides the point. Karen still had no reason to assume. Story Two: I live in a house with more room than I need as a single person. If anyone tried to tell me they wanted to switch, I would say heck no. You could have gotten this place yourself, and if you hate your roommate, then find somewhere else, but not my house. Story Three: The mother in this story is worse than most I've heard. She has enabled OB to become the fat 30 something man baby he became, and instead of lighting a fire under his ass and being a parent, she actually expects her other child to stop living a good, healthy life? Yeah no. Fuck that. Story Four: I. Hate. School. That's the long and short of it. Teachers could care less about students with disabilities (especially mental ones, trust me, I know), since it hurts their precious reputations and they would rather cause drama than help us learn and grow LIKE THEY ARE PAID TO DO. That teacher deserved everything she got.
Oh I know that feeling exactly. Thankfully my school had a dedicated teacher and room for people with disabilities. There was a problem with my transcripts and I had to take environmental science with freshmen while I was a senior and...freshmen. The times I just left that classroom were insane. Thankfully I changed teachers between 3rd and 4th semester and never had to be bothered by that again.
@@ryukaze7392 My last day of senior year had me walk into the school and being frisked by police because some stupid freshman decided to tell the asshole superintendent that I told him I was going to bomb the place.
Dude, you feel that OP didn’t need it after they stated that they could barely move one of their legs and was on the way to the hospital? What’s wrong with you?
Story 3: the family now genuinely despise OP because they stopped being the "fat one". Some people just hate it when others better themselves and can't be made fun of anymore.
I knew a guy like OP in story 4 once. At age 14 he'd had a total of 27 broken bones in his lifetime. I, with 0 broken bones at 14, was absolutely fascinated as to how someone would be so unlucky.
STORY #3 WITH THE MOM WHO TRIED TO MAKE OP BECOME FAT AGAIN......MISERY TRULY DOES LOVE COMPANY....WHEN I LET MYSELF GO (DURING THE PANDEMIC), I STOPPED Going TO THE GYM, JOGGING, BIKING, ETC., AND I WAS EATING ATROCIOUSLY.....NEEDLESS TO SAY, I GAINED ALMOST 200 LBS!!! AT MY HEAVIEST I WEIGHED AN EFFING 356 LBS!!!!....THATS ALMOST 400 LBS!!! THAT IS JUST NOT OK...(UNLESS YOU ARE considering a future career path of being a Gangster / CRIME LORD/ HUTT...like Jabba The Hut... OR...... YOU INTEND ON WRESTLING AS A SUMO WARRIOR....OR MAYBE...JUST A BOUNCER AT A NIGHT CLUB!! EITHER WAY...I WQS NOT FEELING ANY OF THOSES CHOICES..... SO I STARTED EATING HEALTHY...STARTED WALKING THEN JOGGING THEN CALISTHENICS.. It took me a year but I'm back down to 205, which still is about 20lb shy of where I want to be but I had support from my family. To hear that the mother was that disgusting and wanted to literally hurt one of her son's Health just to make the other ones feel better about himself when he's smoking and drinking and being a man-child? No absolutely not that's just toxicity that he didn't need and I'm glad OP got out of there. Good for him and I hope he never looks back cuz that's just like I said misery loving company and it's disgusting.
Story 4: A teacher I had got fired (forcibly retired) for calling a student an idiot and she got offended. But the issue to me was literally everyone knew he wasn’t genuinely calling her one. She just did a stupid and mixed the wrong chemicals in chemistry, and he was being silly as he went to fix the issue. I do not see an issue.
I broke my left arm twice as a kid. The first time was at school during the 3rd grade. We were playing dodgeball and I had slipped and fallen. I was sitting on the asphalt crying and my teacher came over to me and rudely told me to get up. I told her my arm hurt and held it up to show her and she grabbed me by that arm and pulled me up. Of course that had worsened the fracture. I asked if I could go to the nurse and she refused and sent me to the classroom to run cold water over it. An hour later I'm still in the classroom and still crying. She finally allowed me to go to the nurse who called my stepmom to come get me. Stepmom immediately took me to the hospital for xrays and a cast. I told stepmom how the teacher had grabbed and pulled me by my broken arm. She was absolutely livid. I had the joy of watching her verbally rip the teacher a new one, after she tore into the principal first for the behavior of his teacher. I never loved my stepmom more!
As someone who used to take the bus. I can say there's a cure for the folk who stick their foot out to trip you. Stomp on it. Stomp on it like its a pop can. Crush it. There is leg room provided for every seat. They are at fault. They're the asshole not you trying to navigate their trap.
why was I born handicapped to the point that I never could walk when their are so many "Karens" in the world who deserve to not walk way more then me? Maybe if those people were born to be in a chair their whole life, society would be better off. I have been told so many times that "my kind" should never be in public. I have even been told that my mom should not have let me live. It's Karens who should not be in public.
Ah yes, such a wonderful quality in someone with authority over people. You'd be so lucky to have a teacher, boss, ect, who hate being wrong so much that when proven wrong, they just get mad at you and double down instead of apologizing.
There was an 80ish woman who pulled into a handicapped parking spot. A 50-something man started yelling at her that she didn't have a handicapped card and she should drive on. My friend told him to mind his own business. IMO he was the Karen. Guarantee an 80ish woman is disabled somehow.
Oh shoot I had no idea about the disabled bus seat thing. I've seen bus drivers allowing people to sit in those spots as long as nobody needed it, as long as they moved when someone who needed it came along. I had no idea they are supposed to be kept empty all the time. My apologies. 😭😭😭😭
Thats what I thought that someone could sit there til someone who needs it.
That's what the sign on the buses in my area say. I figure it's the difference between priority seating (disabled, elderly, and pregnant people get priority) and disabled seating.
It must be different for different bus companies. The one I work at in Ohio the front few seats are Priority seats for Elderly and disabled. Anyone can sit there but if some mentioned above gets on the bus the driver can ask you to move for them.
@@amandagreen8568 yeah I think thats what the busses where I live say. That disabled elderly wheelchair and pregnant people have priority if they show up.
In my area as well, you can sit there if nobody needs it. It’s not like handicapped parking since you can move yourself when someone frailer needs the seat.
Karen: You can’t be disabled I can tell with my Karen vision.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had this happen when I was recovering from invasive treatments from an invasive illness. It cripples me for a few days. It is really annoying.
@@JackieOwl94 Sorry it happened, I hope you're doing better
School has changed so much since the '80s. Had that happened to me, I would have walked out of class, and not returned. I certainly wouldn't have showed up for detentions.
Lmfao, you just made me laugh
Story 3: Sounds like they were favoring the brother and OP losing a lot of weight has damaged the brother's ego. Rather than encourage the brother to start getting his life together, the parents want to drag OP down.
Good riddance
They literally wanted him to be the family punching bag.
His mother is a yenta
That miserable mom doesnt comprehend thst you are responsible for your own actions. I suspect some religious abuse even if not mentioned
Oh they definitely favored the brother. If you read his other posts, you find the older brother(with the parent's help) tried to trick OP out of roughly $2500 for "rent" when in reality, it was used for a vacation abroad.
OP sued the older brother, won, and went NC with the three of them.
@@lizd2943 no they wanted the GOLDEN BRAT 30 YEAR OLD CHILD to use the membership NOT O P he did a great thing by going N C with them
Story 1 It's amazing that so many Karen's think that they are fully qualified doctors and can even diagnose people by just looking at them.
I know right! It’s like they expect all disabilities should look the same SMH
At this point I think that should be considered a federal offense since they're technically impersonating a doctor.
When I hear those stories I just want to reply "Well don't judge by the look, you seem intelligent yet you just proved you're not"
Story 3: I agree with the OP. If you want to lose weight, you have to do it yourself. OP made great choices in his life.
Story 2: Who’s to say *SHE’S* the problem roommate 🙄
She probably thinks her roommate is the problem for *DARING* to set boundaries
@@alexvalentine5091 Most likely. When in reality, it’s her that’s the worst roommate!
For story 2, its called a ball gag, go buy one, instantly reduces the noise coming from someone's mouth.
Duct tape works just as well. A lot of duct tape.
Superglue works better.
So... to be able to be bang in peace, she though she could schedule OP out of her appartment 2 days a week and decide all the decoration (cause I guess she need it to be in the mood?!?) and also decide on where everything gonna go in her "friend" appartment.... Her BF must be something else in the bed to be so much out of track to have it and in need of being loud!
I once fell off the slide in elementary and cut my knee wide open. I was spilling blood everywhere and the teacher watching the playground says "eh, you'll live" and walked away. No call to my parents, just had to finish the school day, got a demerit for staining the floors with my blood and went home. Mom and dad were unamused with them for that.
Contact the friggin' media.
OP should have said, 'IF HE WOULD QUIT SMOKING, HE WOULD HAVE THE MONEY FOR A GYM MEMBERSHIP!'
Story 3: The best possible outcome, OP lost not only weight, but got rid of those three dead weights in his life. Good riddance.
I also have an "invisible disability" and I can't say enough about how people need to mind their own business and stop harassing people who are sick but apparently don't look it. I think I look like shit, but people tell me I look fine.
same here, I have rheumatic arthritis, I get "your too young for arthritis" all the time, well I think my body missed that memo
Spinal issues here, using my blue badge (disabled permit) was a nightmare.
I was on the bus to work one day, and a grown ass women actually tried to trip me on my way out, I stepped over and said "OUCH HE STEPPED ON ME, I WANT THE POLICE" failing to realize she was on camera, nothing came of it afterwards
Last story is proof that some people need to be fired immediately after accusing a student of faking an illness/injury when it's real.
Story 4: Disabled people seem to always get the worst from people. It's like a constant that people will look down on people who have broken bones or can't do something normally.
And it's crazy because you know good and well that if they were similarly handicapped they'd demand the moon and sun rise or descend at their wish.
They also get the best. I've seen it both ways and I've been treated both ways.
Its complete jealousy driven craziness. They see accommodations as perks they're not allowed to.
It's a long tradition of people, to use the disabled as a forge to work out their own personal issues and insecurities. I doubt the courses, that the teacher was forced to take, would change her behaviour. She'll just become more subtle and careful about it.
It's not only disabled people, it's the position of power as a teacher, that AH individuals sometimes seek to unleash their frustrations onto the ones that can't fend for themselves because it's easy.
PD: not saying all teachers are like this because that is 100% wrong. But some AH, do like this power positions over others to extert damage to other as a way to feel better with themselves...and this doesn't only happen in the education system.
Story 3: OP's mom probably wanted OP to continue paying for his gym membership on his brother's behalf. Otherwise there would be nothing stopping OP and his brother from going to the gym together.
I can't help thinking that walking or jogging costs nothing! 😊
You’d be surprised how many people who never have a good word to say to you about your weight all of a sudden get an attitude when you lose weight. It’s like they’re invested in you being fat-to shit talk you about it, if nothing else.
1st story. If the old lady stuck out her foot on me, I'd aim for the ankle.
2nd. What is with the amount of stories about people thinking they deserve others house.
3rd. Toxic family is not family at all.
4th. That's not a teacher. That's a bully given authority they don't deserve.
Yep, I'm like a horse, I automatically stomp anything that touches my feet. I'm a big guy, I stomp hard. 🤨
@@lancerevell5979 in my high school art class i got a bad cut on one hand and was told by the docs to keep it clean and dry. the teacher despite the fact i could pull the wound open said 'you have to keep using paint' got a sub and showed her the wound. she took one glance and said 'oh no sweetie you're going back to colored pencils' and shooed me to the desk.
Story 1: Wow. I'd be reminding this Karen to remember people like Stephen Hawking, Michael J. Fox, Annette Funicello, and Christina Applegate, all of whom could move and speak perfectly normally in their younger years before a nasty slow disease gradually took much of their body functions away. And that Karen better thank the grace of God that it didn't happen to her.
Yep. And MS is so nasty.
Story 4: the fact the the education board only halved that teachers bonus is disgusting. It was plain bullying and they should have a 0 tolerance to it, ESPECIALLY when it's a teacher doing it.
Perhaps that was the maximum penalty that the school board was allowed to hand out unless it went to court. School boards and boards of education do have (sometimes severely) limited authority, especially once that teacher has tenure.
Tenure is a concept that needs to be heavily overhauled. Pretty much the only way to have a tenured teacher/professor get adequate consequences is if they are facing jail time
yea well this behavior will cost you your job in germany soooo there is that too. There are more places on earth than the US luckily.. cant imagine that swapping over to us... i am ok with children these day's being disrespectfull aholes, yet going up against teachers too? To much. Them children we can still form, thats called disciplinary action. Teacher that are above 50? Yea nope, all we can do is cost them their job thus their rent. Thats also a huge point of why they dont even RISK that behavior. Rarely they do, but then again, thats in more advanced grades sooo the kids are teens by then and know perfectly well how teacher need to behave
I'm sure this isn't much help but it wasn't her bonus it was her raise for the next 3 years (she hasn't gotten her bonus since then from what OP says)
From my experience teachers are mean ego freaks that say they will try and then dont do crap
S1. "Invisible disabilities " are a Karen magnet
S3. Cheering OP for losing weight, gaining a spine and losing that toxic family. Go, OP!
1st story not all disabilities are visible, that's why the sunflower lanyard is a thing (at least is in UK)
Teachers who disrespect disabled students deserve to be fired!
No, not Deserve, NEED to be fired. It should be a requirement
My girlfriend has MS and people keep telling her to get a job and work even though she's disabled. She can maybe be fine for a few weeks at work but could barely walk after her shift but the would relapse and be in the ER unable to move. She'd get put on meds that would get her to work maybe a month but it was rinse and repeat with the hospital trips.
I'm sorry she's going through that. I hope they find a treatment that helps as much as possible. MS is a brutal disease and some of the nicest people I've met have it.
I have issues with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia - get told to work all the time. They don't like it when I retort "where can I find a job that I can work 3 hours a day 3 days a week that will let me call out at will".
@@m2hmghb she's luckily on a treatment but we became long distance so she could move to a flatter area and I can't up and move but it's easier for her than we're I live. Hills are her biggest obstacle and that's all the area I live in is.
I once knew a woman who I considered the ultimate klutz. She not only broke a glass at least every other day at the bar she worked at and sewed through her thumb while quilting (twice) but things just happened to her. One night during winter she was taking the trash out at closing when the ice on the roof slid off and crashed down on her head. When she told me about it the next day I asked if she should really be at work. She said it was her 14th concussion. I thought uneasily to myself that I guess she knows what she's doing.
She had 14 concussions .. she had 14 concussion.
I've gotten my head knocked by the ice machine lid and busted my ass falling on the floor more than I can count and I'm lucky I haven't ended up concussed ":>
At some point you just accept life as a slapstick 😅
Honestly the silliest thing for me with story 2 isnt even the whole swapping thing but the fact that she wanted to take OPs bed but wouldn't even offer her own in return. Instead they would get the couch. She wants OPs bed and to be allowed to have sex while in it but OP doesnt even get offered her bed as a place to sleep for them.
Crazy people are crazy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah it's honestly disgusting
That’s so Gross! Expecting OP to give up their own bed every weekend so EF and her bf can do the nasty in it. Then expect them to put fresh sheets on and clean up after you. 🤢🤮
Story 3: Sadly, this is not atypical. Overeating is an addiction and the family members are codependents. The “addict” made the change, but the family is uncomfortable with the new dynamic. I had a friend who worked hard to get in shape and lose over 100 pounds. Her husband got her a 5# bag of chocolate kisses for Valentines Day and couldn’t understand why she was so upset. He became jealous if she spoke to any male and eventually she filed for divorce.
If your husband is not jealous about you talking with any other males, then you shall question whether he still loves you.

With Story 2, I would have asked her, "Let me ask this, who's name is on the Lease? Oh yeah, it's MY name on the Lease, not yours and if you even think of redecorating MY Apartment without my Permission then you are banned."
Dude. I would have been in her face. 😂
What I don’t get is if she was just looking for a clean bed to get it on in private, why the hell does the decor of the apartment matter?
@@MrSiren52 Some people are just too damn controlling
Story 4: I’m a secondary teacher & yup…have worked with plenty of them. And you don’t even need to have a disability, a kid taking a day off school coz they just don’t feel up for it? What grownup (teachers included) doesn’t do that now & then?
But children/teenagers are expected to be more dedicated?
Family are the worst to sabotage a person, whether it's quiting drinking or lose weight
Story 3: Brother could stop smoking, and would then have easily enough money to pay for a gym membership. He could also resume jogging, and might not even need the gym membership.
It was the mother and not the brother who was wanting him to do all this. The brother didn't mention anything to him. So I'm really glad OP decided to cut all ties with them. He's had them and their demeaning attitude around his neck for far too long anyway.
@@1toshi32 Yes, thank you, I am fully aware that it was the mother making the demands.
Karen..... "You don't look disabled!"
Me..... "You don't look so stupid and entitled either!" 🤨
Story three.... I'm a big guy too. Had to lose weight to enlist into the Navy (second hitch) after being out of the service eight months. Many years later, I spent five weeks in the hospital after a medical emergency. A friend remarked on the weight I had lost. I told her, "Yeah, I'm half the man I used to be!" 😆
You don’t look like you have a brain 😂 is a good comeback
Your clap back is gold.🤣🤣🤣
My mind just played the dial-up noise when the mother at story 3 said those things. It's not OP's problem if the brother chooses to be unhealthy on his thirty.
Then she tried to sabotage her own son. I would cut contact with such a person so quick. We don't need haters in our life.
I had a teacher in fifth grade that humiliated me. I was stressed out from constant bullying, and as a result I started losing my hair. I had a huge bald spot on the side of my head. I had to be prescribed a medication for it. Other teachers let me wear a hat until my hair grew back, but this particular teacher did not. She made me take my hat off and the entire class could see my bald spot. I wanted to hide and cry from the humiliation.
When my mom found out, she called the school to complain. The teacher was told to let me wear my hat in her class until my hair grew back.
As a kid growing up and even into my 30's, I've always played hard. I've broken my bones more times than I can count. From jumping off the jungle gym at 8 to a motorcycle accident at 34. I've had a broken hip, 2 broken ribs, 4 concussions, at least a dozen broken wrists and assorted other injuries. I can completely relate to that last OP's story. At 62 all I can tell you is that arthritis is a real pain. But I'm glad that I lived an adventurous life rather than living my life in bubble wrap.
I broke all four of my pinkies (at different times). Extremities sucks.
@@gorilladisco9108 Ouch! just ouch. My hands hurt just thinking about that.
I "Don't Look Sick", and there have been times when I have had to flash my national disability card. I can stand and walk, but not for very long or very far. If the bus moves before I get a seat, I lose my balance and go flying down the aisle every single time.
Story 3: I think I have a different take here. Now to be clear, OP is clearly the best person in the story and the mother is off her rocker. But I see these stories all the time and ask myself why it hurts their ego so much. Then it hit me: OP was the benchmark. OP was the scapegoat that every sibling could look at and think “As long as I am doing better than him I am in the clear”. That is why it hurts their ego so much, because the benchmark just got raised and they can’t just out themselves as horrible people or hypocrites. OP keep being your best person dude!
Yeah, first story pisses me off. I have Lupus and a bunch of other autoimmune disorders. We might look "healthy" but I assure you, we are not. Sometimes the pain is unbearable. I hope OP finds relief and feels better.
Yeah, probably my favourite story about assumptions about disabilities is a woman who assumed op was illegally parking in a disabled spot because they looked too "happy" to be disabled.
There is something called a "sugar tong cast." They have an Ace bandage on the skin, a plaster cast that goes around the elbow and down each side of the arm. Think "U" shaped. The tong has velcro around it to lock it on. You CAN take it off, but it's not supportive if it's off. I know this because I broke my wrist falling off a 3-foot high porch with a toddler on my hip. I "hip-hefted" her onto my left hip and there wasn't much porch under my right foot and I fell off. I tried to catch myself with my right hand and ended up breaking the little bones in my wrist under my thumb. I was six weeks in that cast. I could remove it for no more than 10 minutes, just to take a shower three times a week. My sister had to put the wrap back on for me and help with replacing the cast. So, OP can have a cast that is removable, but that teacher needed to shut her pie hole and the substitute needed to be removed from the sub list.
And, I can totally understand the girl on the bus. I have MS (and fibromyalgia) and there are just times you can't move. We look totally fine, but looks don't show everything going on. If anyone wants to know how it feels, there's a website with The Spoon Theory written by Christine Miserandino that is a wonderful explanation of people with hidden illnesses.
YES! (Fibro here) The spoon theory is such a great way to explain it! Thank you for spreading this knowledge to help others understand.
I had a similar experience as the first op. I was taking my daughter (then 3) to the ER on the bus and encountered a Karen in the wild. It took all I had to just keep my head down and my mouth shut. I finally snapped and asked (rather loudly) for her to move along before I moved her along. (I was in NO mood at that point and was already in full on panic mode worrying about my daughter and getting her to the hospital) Thank God the bus driver is one I've known for years and Karen ended up getting booted off the bus. This was 12 years ago. I don't take the bus anymore. (Anxiety sucks)
Story 4: I'm surprised that the teacher didn't call Child Protection Service on the parents for suspected child abuse. I know that uncoordinated children are out there, but here, at least (don't know what country this was), teachers are REQUIRED to tell the authorities if it could (in any way at all) be child abuse, regardless of what the parent or child tells them. Doctors and nurses are also required to report suspected cases.
Well, she didn't believe the injury was real, why would she report it?
With her twisted per
Karen: You don't look disabled.
OP: You don't look stupid. But here we are.
OMGosh! Story #2! I don't understand why op allowed that person even speak. I would've laughed my butt off if someone said thise things to me.
The last story y’all I literally like how they’re cracking down on teachers who are disrespecting children with disabilities 😊😊😊
First story reminds me when i had to take the bus after a surgery on my mouth, from outside i looked fine but anesthesia was slowly going off (we don't have that funny gas here, anesthesia in dentist is really just so you don't feel him cutting your mouth open) so i was in incredible pain.
Someone tried to complain about my seat but luckly i was with my grandma who told them i was sick cause honestly i couldn't even talk
Bless Grandma Tutu
Story 3: when the scapegoat of the family gets healthy, it exposes the toxic cycle of abuse by the parents...
I thought the story where the Karen wanted to trade homes OP was gonna get crazy, (like if Karen were to sneak into OP's home when they're sleeping or something like that), but no she's just bad-mouthed OP on Facebook
Did you notice that Karen said that if she and OP switched places, that OP would STILL be sleeping on Karen's couch in her old place, not in Karen's old room? And what made Karen think that OP would be ok with this plan, when she didn't even ASK before she started saying what had to be done to make the place to KAREN'S standards? Did she really think that OP would just let her do what she wanted and NOT get mad? Someone needs to call the mad house and see if they're missing a "guest", and if so, let them know where she is. If not, let them know that she needs to be one.
Story 4: I will never understand how teachers who decide that it's a great idea to feud with their students can get and keep their jobs as teachers. Your a grown ass adult and they are a child. Act your freaking age. Even if you have a student who actually doesn't behave well just administer the appropriate discipline and let it go. And you definitely shouldn't use your power to bully students with disabilities/ injuries. How are you a teacher when you behave like that? I don't even like kids and I wouldn't even consider treating kids like that.
An operative word to this story is “tenure”. Once a teacher gets tenure they can remain untouchable in many cases. I do have a secondary degree in education but have never taught because it paid so much less than being a “secretary” at an aerospace plant. But I know about tenure.
Story 3: Op's mom is upset that their punching back was doing better then everyone else and that the extended family was happy for him
"You're young and healthy!" boils my fucking blood. Youth DOES NOT equal health. If it did there wouldn't be pediatric hospitals!
Yeah no. Unbelievable. IF a child broke their arm 13 time's she a) CPS physical abuse. b) serious medical condition
And she said that she has a medical condition-I think it's brittle bone disease. Not as bad as some other kids get it.
Dark Fluff is how me and my coworker kill time when we are the only two people working and there are no customers because it is cold outside.
Yeah, that's the biggest issue. Just because someone doesn't _look_ disabled doesn't mean they aren't. I should know because I have a mental disorder that I won't disclose for privacy reasons.
My dad was a bus driver.
One time, a Young Guy was sitting in the disable/ elderly SEAT, when a older (but not old) woman scolded him for taking "her" SEAT, when he was Young and fit.
He didn't fuss, but grabbed his leg, and let i dump to the floor with a thump, and then did it with the other leg. Grabbed his chruches, stod Up and slowly Walker down the aile to another SEAT.
He was an double ampute, and only about 20 years old.
She ran out the bus at the next stop.
When I was in the fourth grade, I had to wear a cast over the first few weeks of the school year because I had broken my right arm over the summer. I had to wear the cast for six weeks and a brace for six weeks and by the time Halloween 1994 rolled around I was free of the brace. Now all that's left on my right arm is the scar on the elbow. So OP was definitely not faking her injuries as I've had to go through it myself.
Story 3: Okay, haven't heard the whole story yet, but I'd say, OP sounds like he joined a great unit, and seriously the Sergeant sounds 👍🏼
Having broken my arm as a kid, had several surgeries and pain syndrome, I know for a fact there are better ways to go about getting attention than breaking your arm 17 times. All the teacher has to do was be compassionate, have a meeting with op's mom, and attempt to make things a little better. Not so difficult.
We all need someone like the sergeant friend in story 3 to motivate us to be better
You know what occurs to me? There is a possibility that someone watched one of these videos and recognized that the story was about them. I would pay good money to see that.
My own bus story, I was on my day off but had to go to court on a work related matter I went to my job site to pick up my paperwork and court disposition form, and went to take the bus that went to the court, ( which happened to be in the Chicago Police HQ) The bus hadn't gone more than three stops, before An entitled jerk got on, and proceeded to light a huge, and extremely foul smelling cigar! ( smoking is forbidden on CTA buses and trains) At this point a very diminutive, and well dressed young woman approached him, and in a very no nonsense manner requested that he put the cigar out, he took a deep draw, and then blew the smoke directly into her face, and told her to duck off he was going to enjoy his smoke! Game on! She informed him, that he was under arrest, and he took a swing at her, bad mistake! In the blink of an eye, the guy was eating floor mat! The young lady was not only a police detective, but an unarmed combat instructor, at the police academy! The bus driver had already radioed for help, so when the bus pulled up at Police HQ it was met by a swarm of police officers, who were none too gentle, in removing said jerk from the bus, and taking him straight to booking. It was the only time I've ever seen a police officer get a standing ovation from the riders of a crowded bus!
I Seriously Don't Understand Why People Maintain A Relationship With Toxic People Even If They Are So Called Family.
It’s practically impossible to cancel your own gym membership in person with 5 different forms of ID. How does this woman think she can do it I’ve the phone on her kid’s behalf?
Karens think they're omnipotent GODS!
Story 4: "Well, teacher, how about we ask this class of medical professionals whether YOU need to get your butt spanked with barbed wire? Oh, look, 100% approval rate... Now, BEND OVER!"
Why is it so hard for people to see a seemingly healthy person in a special seat, and simply shrug cuz you don't know the situation 🥃
Thanks for the video DF. If a bus is crowded and no one actually needs those seats anyone can sit there
My friend at college had MS and sometimes I didn't see her for weeks. We sat together on the bus, she told me she was glad to be sitting with someone because she was always wary of people judging her for not giving up her seat and insisting she does, also, she NEVER used the disabled seats because of this. Shes already exhausted for attempting to live her life and she should be able to relax on the bus like everyone else, I hate the thought of disabled people, especially young people, constantly worrying about this, I'm sure the elderly don't have to worry about that.
I love that the apartment "trade" wasn't even an apartment trade, it was "I get your place and you get my COUCH"
Last story: Only thing is that the teacher's bad decisions/treatment were triggered by the unacceptable behaviour of the sub, where's the justice of fixing the sub for LYING? What kind of teacher lies to her colleagues about a student?
On the last story, they need to kick that teacher out before they escalate the bullying...and I say this because I lived through my sister being bullied on HS by a teacher.
As in OP's story, my sis wasn't the first or the last one to endure what that POS liked to do. We had several meetings with the teacher and directives over the issue and nothing was done (we even thought of changing schools but sis didn't want it because she would lost her friends on the 2 last years of HS).
We graduated and like 3 years later another girl became the target...but this time, the mother was not happy to endure the multiple parent teacher reunions were this AH told her how bad her girl was, and left the room on one. Teacher got mad and walked after her berating both of them, until she decided to take her frustration out by pushing the mom over the stairs.
The woman end up badly hurt, with several witnesses because this happened over a recess.. and of course she demanded the school and the AH teacher.
Teacher reached an agreement to quit in order to save face to the school, but she had to sell everything to pay for her trials, and of course, can't ever be a teacher again becasuse of her records.
So yeah, justice was done, but it required for a parent to suffer multiple life risk injuries and have several children traumatized because of seeing this aggression.
Story 2: OP is respectively a hero and somebody to look up to. To join the army and lose that much weight. The brother should be looking up to the OP
🤔 I'll take reasons why my kids are in private school for a thousand. Clearly that teacher only got into teaching for the power.
The only thing that should be policed when it comes to stuff like the first story is disabled parking spots
10:45 To be fair, if OP ate just the protein and kept the carbs low, he could still maintain his weight.
The big lie is fat is bad. It's high carb intake that's the issue.
Story 3: out of spite and pettiness i would say "Hey, if he wants to borrow anything from my previous weight he's welcome to it"
I am a disabled Woman Veteran. I had a Couple stop me in the handicap parking. Told me WTF do you think your doing? I had a long dress... As I lifted my dress-- 2 knee braces and ankle. They ran I to the store..... I told them they are not the parking police and if there was a problem. Please call them... Mean people SUCK! ✌️
Story 4: IMHO I would have destroyed that teacher directly in public at one of these meetings, bringing my kids entire medical file with me and pointing them out. "Hey I hear you have an issue with my kid and her medical problems, here is a list of them, tell me again what ones you think are fake in your extensive medical experience." and bring up every complaint about the teacher in front of everyone. I'm evil that way.
Story #2 - the best redecorating OP did was kicking the so-called friend out🤦♀️🙄
That is a perfect way to get removed from section 8 housing.
Story one: MS is a serious disease, and people need to understand that when someone needs the seat, they NEED the seat. While I feel that OP didn't need it, that's besides the point. Karen still had no reason to assume.
Story Two: I live in a house with more room than I need as a single person. If anyone tried to tell me they wanted to switch, I would say heck no. You could have gotten this place yourself, and if you hate your roommate, then find somewhere else, but not my house.
Story Three: The mother in this story is worse than most I've heard. She has enabled OB to become the fat 30 something man baby he became, and instead of lighting a fire under his ass and being a parent, she actually expects her other child to stop living a good, healthy life? Yeah no. Fuck that.
Story Four: I. Hate. School. That's the long and short of it. Teachers could care less about students with disabilities (especially mental ones, trust me, I know), since it hurts their precious reputations and they would rather cause drama than help us learn and grow LIKE THEY ARE PAID TO DO. That teacher deserved everything she got.
Oh I know that feeling exactly. Thankfully my school had a dedicated teacher and room for people with disabilities. There was a problem with my transcripts and I had to take environmental science with freshmen while I was a senior and...freshmen. The times I just left that classroom were insane. Thankfully I changed teachers between 3rd and 4th semester and never had to be bothered by that again.
@@ryukaze7392 My last day of senior year had me walk into the school and being frisked by police because some stupid freshman decided to tell the asshole superintendent that I told him I was going to bomb the place.
Because OP was feeling very sick that day, s/he DID need the seat!
OP was in serious pain and was heading to the ER. Why do you think she didn't need to sit in one of the handicapped seats that day?
Dude, you feel that OP didn’t need it after they stated that they could barely move one of their legs and was on the way to the hospital? What’s wrong with you?
I really get that first OP. I have Fibromyalgia and the issue with autoimmune difficulties is no one sees it, but we certainly do FEEL it!
Story 3: the family now genuinely despise OP because they stopped being the "fat one".
Some people just hate it when others better themselves and can't be made fun of anymore.
There's bunch of videos right here on YT describing what happens when you are no longer the family scapegoat.
I knew a guy like OP in story 4 once. At age 14 he'd had a total of 27 broken bones in his lifetime. I, with 0 broken bones at 14, was absolutely fascinated as to how someone would be so unlucky.
Story 3 it sounds like OP'S mom wanted OP to get fat again so she could continue to torment the OP
Story 2: I love that even though they’re ’trading’, OP still gets the couch 😂😂😂
I don't know how you find these stories... I love listening to them. thank you!
My little bro has a severe case of MS. He's been wheelchair bound since the age of 22. MS is no joke.
STORY #3 WITH THE MOM WHO TRIED TO MAKE OP BECOME FAT AGAIN......MISERY TRULY DOES LOVE COMPANY....WHEN I LET MYSELF GO (DURING THE PANDEMIC), I STOPPED Going TO THE GYM, JOGGING, BIKING, ETC., AND I WAS EATING ATROCIOUSLY.....NEEDLESS TO SAY, I GAINED ALMOST
200 LBS!!! AT MY HEAVIEST
I WEIGHED AN EFFING
356 LBS!!!!....THATS ALMOST
400 LBS!!! THAT IS JUST NOT
OK...(UNLESS YOU ARE considering a future career path of being a Gangster / CRIME LORD/ HUTT...like Jabba The Hut... OR...... YOU INTEND ON WRESTLING AS A SUMO WARRIOR....OR MAYBE...JUST A BOUNCER AT A NIGHT CLUB!!
EITHER WAY...I WQS NOT FEELING ANY OF THOSES CHOICES..... SO I STARTED EATING HEALTHY...STARTED WALKING THEN JOGGING THEN CALISTHENICS..
It took me a year but I'm back down to 205, which still is about 20lb shy of where I want to be but I had support from my family. To hear that the mother was that disgusting and wanted to literally hurt one of her son's Health just to make the other ones feel better about himself when he's smoking and drinking and being a man-child? No absolutely not that's just toxicity that he didn't need and I'm glad OP got out of there. Good for him and I hope he never looks back cuz that's just like I said misery loving company and it's disgusting.
Story 4: A teacher I had got fired (forcibly retired) for calling a student an idiot and she got offended. But the issue to me was literally everyone knew he wasn’t genuinely calling her one. She just did a stupid and mixed the wrong chemicals in chemistry, and he was being silly as he went to fix the issue. I do not see an issue.
I broke my left arm twice as a kid. The first time was at school during the 3rd grade. We were playing dodgeball and I had slipped and fallen. I was sitting on the asphalt crying and my teacher came over to me and rudely told me to get up. I told her my arm hurt and held it up to show her and she grabbed me by that arm and pulled me up. Of course that had worsened the fracture. I asked if I could go to the nurse and she refused and sent me to the classroom to run cold water over it. An hour later I'm still in the classroom and still crying. She finally allowed me to go to the nurse who called my stepmom to come get me. Stepmom immediately took me to the hospital for xrays and a cast. I told stepmom how the teacher had grabbed and pulled me by my broken arm. She was absolutely livid. I had the joy of watching her verbally rip the teacher a new one, after she tore into the principal first for the behavior of his teacher. I never loved my stepmom more!
As someone who used to take the bus. I can say there's a cure for the folk who stick their foot out to trip you. Stomp on it. Stomp on it like its a pop can. Crush it. There is leg room provided for every seat. They are at fault. They're the asshole not you trying to navigate their trap.
why was I born handicapped to the point that I never could walk when their are so many "Karens" in the world who deserve to not walk way more then me? Maybe if those people were born to be in a chair their whole life, society would be better off. I have been told so many times that "my kind" should never be in public. I have even been told that my mom should not have let me live. It's Karens who should not be in public.
Wait if the friend was taking over the apartment fully then why would OP still have to sleep on the couch??
Story 3: Good on OP for losing weight and cutting all ties with his toxic family. He definitely doesn't need them at all.
I have pretty bad chronic pains. Most people don't even notice anymore. It brings a lot of misunderstanding with it sadly.
Last Story: No, that idiot shoulda been outright FIRED. REGARDLESS of Tenure! You do not mess around with others health!!!!! EVER!!!!
On the title: My first thought is "Hippity Hoppity Get off my property." Followed by the sound of a shotgun being racked.
Story 3, I wanna know what happened for OP to cut all contact, just because I'm intensely nosey. lol
Ah yes, such a wonderful quality in someone with authority over people. You'd be so lucky to have a teacher, boss, ect, who hate being wrong so much that when proven wrong, they just get mad at you and double down instead of apologizing.
I have MS and I have a handicapped plated and a service dog 🐕🦺. I am often harassed when I park in disabled parking.
There was an 80ish woman who pulled into a handicapped parking spot. A 50-something man started yelling at her that she didn't have a handicapped card and she should drive on. My friend told him to mind his own business. IMO he was the Karen. Guarantee an 80ish woman is disabled somehow.
It's honestly quite terrifying how someone could look completely fine, then die to some unseen illness.
