      I had a teach like that, Bo. He was old army, teaching the non neuro-typical students like myself.
      He was always kind but he was always pushing our boundaries by pushing on our triggers like loud noises, touch, coughing without covering his mouth (always aimed away from us) because he knew if he babied us we'd be worse off for it.
      Never realized it until I grew up and now I'm grateful for him. Easy top five teachers I've had.

    Last story: Most Call Center systems have notes that can be put in customer's accounts...OP could easily stop Karen from calling back by saying that she's using a card that isn't hers and to ensure that the account holder only makes the order

      Can confirm. In my case, authorized users could do it, but typically, only the account holder could do it. In extreme cases, I've seen special notes from the fraud department prohibiting certain types of account transactions due to sketchy account uses. In one particular case, abusing the warranty system to get a new phone for free.

      From fraud prevention in a bank, her name would also show up on the banks side and generally, if she isn't authorized to use the card from the bank, the charge will be denied. So even if op said ok, the bank would say no and call out to her dad. Either way the charge isn't going through (unless the bank has super lax rules or something)

    Second Story: Some people shouldn’t have any form of power; this guy is one of those people. He really expected people to work for 15 minutes for free? Yeah no
    Comment 1: Lmao what made these people think that employees will work for free for consideration? Lmao thats not how things work
    Comment 2: I bet that policy was swiftly removed after OP's dad forced them to pay overtime to everyone there
    Third Story: OP's boss didn’t just look like a momster, they WERE a monster. People who day "so what its just [insert pet] have no heart nor empathy. I see pets as family members. At least the boss's boss had empathy and sympathy
    Comment: People like this teacher needs to get hired everywhere.
    Fourth Story: All he had to do was just keep quiet and have a good time. Instead, this guy chose to rat his friends out and asked for things to be fair. Welp, now he got ripped a new one by his friends for being a snitch
    Fifth Story: Well she wanted the call terminated so OP did just that. Can’t stand rude people, the employee is just doing their job

    And when I say I grew up I don't mean we adopted her the normal route at like...age 10 or whatever. We had her mother who came to us while pregnant and we kept one of the kittens when they were born when I was about 7 or 8 and she passed when I was almost 20 so I GREW UP with this cat.

    With the last story, I have worked in customer service... EVERY CALL GETS RECORDED. Also notes are always left on an account, so if she did call back and try that it would have been noted on the account. It could also be forwarded as fraud to the police so no she couldn't call back and just leave that out, also the name on the card would not match her name so also wouldn't work. As you would say, don't mess with the guy who holds your account.

When we got to the point where we had to ask, people who said they weren't the cardholder would predictably get angry. Some even tried badly to change their voices while one the phone. The normal response was for the call to end and the representative was supposed to make a detailed note of the interaction for the next rep to read and then send an email to the fraud team to keep an eye on the account.

I told her, that aside (heartless bitch) I found him dead at 2am and had gotten no sleep, had to put him in the deep freeze. Then, got to bury him in 97° heat so yah, it all made me ill. I didn't give her all that detail but she made me take one of my last vacation days when I had tons of sick time as I barely called in.

From the moment they came home Snare, the cat's name, became my cat. I helped him get over what had happened to him. His wounds from stress licking healed and after his trust towards men had been rebuild after it was broken by the person who was meant to protect him.
    12 years of him being not only my cat but my fur baby.
    12/23/2020, a date I'll never forget. I still remember that day was told by mother that Snare had stopped eating and drinking. He was already 14 years old at the time. I just put my morning cup of soda up, went to find my baby, took him to my room and just filmed his last video. I told my mom that I didn't want him to suffer and made the heartbreaking call. That night just before midnight I lost my best friend. My heart was ripped in two that day and 2 years later I still don't remember what I did to get through losing him.
    If someone told me to get over it and that it was just a cat, I would be screaming and crying, swearing. Snare WASN'T just a cat. He was my fur baby! He got me through a lot of shit in the past and I helped him get over his fucked up past that shouldn't have happened!
    After he was rescued Snare lived the life he should have always had. A family that loved him, and a girl who still after 2 years still misses him.

    I had the issue with a former friend when my dog died. She told me the same thing, it's just a dog. I was crying at work, our other coworkers went over to try console me, telling me it was okay to cry over his passing. A different coworker went over to the former and told her I was crying; my former friend came back and said she was sorry over his passing, but she only did it because some else made her, not because she cared.

    I wish I had a teacher like that... those stories hit hard. When I was around 5 or 6, I suddenly lost my duck, which was my favorite animal I had. Being young and unable to fully control my emotions yet, I burst out crying in the middle of class. My teacher took me aside and asked why I was crying (NOT what's wrong). I said my duck died and I missed her. She then said that wasn't a reason, you can't love a duck like that, and forced me to lie to her, saying I was crying for attention.

    My primary school teacher was an awful person, who hated children. She yelled at me and essentially taught me, that bullying me was okay and normal.
    My grandma died and I was in school needing to go to the bathroom. My teacher asked me, if I wanted someone to go with me and I could choose anyone from class. I chose a girl, went outside and suddenly broke down crying, because I missed her. The other girl comforted me and we went back to class. I didn't go to the bathroom.
    I assume, that my mother warned the school in advance. So my teacher knew about it. I must have looked like I was about to cry, but the odd thing is. I really thought I had to go to the bathroom...
    I thought for years, that I didn't cry at her funeral even though I was very sad. But my mom said, that I did. Since my parents were very close to them, they were grieving a lot. My dad had a breakdown, because it was his mom.
    They had no capacity to help 3 kids grieve. So they asked 3 close friends to each help a specific child. I will never forget, that on that graveyard a super nice old lady from church took me aside, hugged me and prayed in my ear. I will always remember it to this day.
    When my grandpa followed his wife many years later, I was heartbroken. We celebrated his life and even though I'm scared of public speeches I told everyone, what he meant to me, and that when my grandma died my mother told me this:
    "Grandma is in heaven right now preparing coffee and cake for tea time for when we come." I told all these people, that I believe, that she needed help setting up, so grampa came to help her.
    I still miss my grandparents years later. They were good people. Grampa would always ask my mom how I was doing and he was prouder than my mom, when my sister became a doctor.
    I always wished, that my grandma was still alive, because she had similar health issues and I could have benefited from her experience...

He was real dedicated to being an educator, he was way into retirement when I went to school but would still come tell stories and read to the kids. He would let us know fun facts about things and in a way taught us life lessons in a a way so that we'd understand. He passed away and our auditorium is named after him. He was involved in the school for as long as he could be. Wasn't my teacher but I only ever hear good things.

    The dog story had me SOBBING. 2 years ago my leopard gecko died in almost the exact same circumstances.
    Geckos eat their scales when they shed, and Leo (my gecko) happened to be going through his time of the month to shed. Since he's done this so many times, I had no reason to worry. I woke up next morning and immediately went to his tank to check on him, because I always loved to admire his vibrant new scales. He was dead, still halfway through tearing the scales off of his tail. He choked on his own scales in the middle of the night, while I was asleep. I don't think I ever cried so hard. I got the next few days off of school, and for the longest time I felt like I could have done something to help. To this day I still dream he's still alive, only to wake up without him. I dream that he and my current bearded dragon, Monke Bread, live in the same terrarium and are best friends (although I know that putting a bearded dragon and a leopard gecko together is a horrible idea. It's a dream, they never make sense)
    Point is, that story hit me hard. I don't know what I would have done if I was forced to go to school on that day. February 15th, 2021. I miss you Leo. You were my first lizard, and my son.

    Mr. Rolf reminds me of my old high school teacher, Mr. Davies.
    He was ex-military, and was absolutely intolerant of slackers or bullies, but he LOVED animals.
    When my cat Layla died back in 2011, I was ugly crying and literally shaking with grief. She was 6 years old when she passed.
    She'd been hit by a car while out on one of her nightly strolls, and I stayed by her side in the vet's office until she drew her last breath.
    I came into school the day after, obviously looking like shit.
    I told Mr. Davies what had happened, and he took me out for coffee at the local Starbucks when school was over.. He told me he knew exactly how I felt, and that I should never be scared of death.
    Thanks to him, my life has considerably improved.
    Wherever you are Mr. Davies, I just want you to know that you're an absolute legend, and I seriously hope you live your life to the fullest.

    At my old job, I would always arrive early, get my till, count it, and be ready to hop on when needed. I didn't get paid for when I got on early, but it was fairly busy where I worked, so I did it to help out my coworkers. (we had 15 minutes from our scheduled start time to count our till and then jump om an open window).
    At the time I lived with my mom in another city, the bus going to this city stopped at 10:45 am and didn't start back up again until four hours later.
    We had a half hour at the end of our shift to count our till. If I counted fast I had just enough time to jump on a bus to connect with the last bus to my home city.
    Well, the new management didn't like people leaving a couple of minutes early. So when enviably missed my bus, I hung out at work for four hours until my next one. I wasn't about to spend money loitering in a coffee shop when I had access to free tea and coffee at work. This, plus no longer starting work early and just standing in the front room in view of (rather annoyed) customers for 20 minutes got them to give me a pass pretty quickly.

Years later my mom who still has dad's email (pictures and other important things) noticed notifications about some trucking information and when are people getting their rocks and material, my mother classed these people (not the people who use the email) and told them about not having anything for them because there no work. We discovered someone was using my dad's email for their trucking business. We do not know these people and there from a different state, my mom called and told them that they are using my dad's email in their business and they were getting defensive/threatening my mom being my mom didn't take their crap and she got this fix with a lawyer (didn't went to court) and got the email fix as well.
