The smoking story, as a. Smoker for 30 years ( young readers please don’t start) I smoked in my house. Even back in the 90’s I would never smoke in someone else’s car, house etc unless they gave me specifics permission. When my first grandkids were born my son asked me to stop smoking in my house or they couldn’t come down. Yeah I was a little pissed at first but ultimately the health and well-being of my grandkids come first. I haven’t smoked in my house for 3 years (except a couple of horrible weather days)
I’m 22, I’ve smoked a pack a day since senior year of HS… ive never had the audacity to smoke in someone elses house until I KNOW they do to, I smoke in my car but wont in someone else’s unless I KNOW they do too. This is just crazy to me considering if I’m about to smoke a cigarette in PUBLIC WHILE OUTSIDE and notice kids nearby ill take a little walk away as to not bother them with the smell.
It really angers me that the grandmother knowingly was putting the kid in danger. and it isn't even because of the risks that second hand smoking causes to an average person. But purely because the grandmother was fully aware that the baby was allergic to cigarettes to some degree. Even when I was a smoker (senior year of high school, stopped out of spite because my manager told me I was addicted) my first priority was to stay away from young people when I smoked because I didn't want to risk them any harm.
Back in the '80s you were still on the tail end of even non-smokers needing ashtrays because if you didn't have one there was a good chance any of your guests who smoked would not only smoke anyway, they'd use things like your plants for their ash and butts¹. It was only just finally changing to be that you needed to ask before you smoked in someone else's home, (even then, a 'no' meant they would smoke outside and probably toss their butt on the ground). 1: In the '70s this was not only considered normal, you were considered rude for not providing an ashtray.
My mums been smoking since she was in her late teens. Finally quit last year. She never smoked in the house and always smoked outside. And never when she visited my grandparents (my grandad had quit a long while before he sadly passed away)
My Mom, Biological Dad, and Grandparents were all heavy smokers up until I was 6. To be fair my bio dad still is but He’s barely been in the picture. Anyway my mom noticed I was having worse than usual breathing issues and the doctors told her I had emphysema. That woman went cold Turkey when she found out I was having so many issues and remained smoke free until she passed. My Grandma and Grandpa both quit eventually as well!
I'm also allergic to cigarettes. My mother was a smoker. If I started coughing, she'd tell me to stop making such a fuss and deliberately blow smoke in my face. One time she threw a cigarette butt out the car window and it got sucked into my window and landed on me, burning a hole in my dress. When I complained, she yelled at me. One of many reasons we weren't very close.
I am also allergic to cigarettes. I'm happy to hear someone else be because all my life other people (beside my immediate family) have acted like it doesn't exist and i'm just making it up as an excuse to not have smokers around me.
I also have a minor allergy, and I find having to wait at the bus stop is like having to formulate a plan of attack - 'Okay, Old Guy is smoking off to my left, but the wind is coming from the right, so as long as I stand at this angle behind the plastic barrier, I should also be safe from Vaping Gym Bro two metres ahead of me...Wait, bugger, there's a ambush coming straight for me! It's a pack of wild Smoking Karens with prams! ABORT MISSION, FLEE FOR THE BUS!!!' It's just a minor allergy, so it won't kill me, but it does make it hard to breathe properly, and my chest hurts and I feel nauseous for a while.
A Older Ex-Coworker of mine is Allergic to Nicotine, she quit after nothing was done about another Also ex-coworker Blew Nicotine Vape in her face laughing like it was a joke (Among other unrelated Issues nothing was done about)
So, about the soup one: seems the post is a bit older, and there was a update: OP got a extra lunch time to get another McChicken (since EM threw half of his alway, like ruining his soup wasn't enough), and he was going to start supervisor training the next week, and wouldn't work under EM, so I think she got fired. WHOOPS!
“You can’t keep me from my grandkids!!” *proceeds to harm child with smoke* So much for loving them. 🤷♀️ my great aunt was not the easiest pill to swallow but she did quit smoking for me. Basically, if you really love your kids, you’ll protect them.
Yes thank you!!! I have a severe heart defect that I was born with and can’t really be around anyone that smokes, harsh smells,etc. and when my mom had posted that sign up around my home, my uncle started his journey of quitting smoking, because not only was he my uncle, he was my godfather
My mom has smoked for like 50 years now and all five of her kids have BEGGED HER to stop. She wouldn't and cried if we didn't allow her to smoke around us. I'm NC with her now for a lot of reasons but all of them come down to "She refuses to change and if she can't do it for her children, she'll never do it at all" It's disgusting to put another person at harm due to YOUR bad habits
I would have quit that job with the crazy pea soup lady. Not only did she ruin your first lunch, but then she grabbed your half of sandwich and threw it away and the manager didn't FIRE HER? Forget that place.
Apparently there was a mini update where they were given more lunch time because of her and he will be starting supervisor training the next week. So either she got fired/quit and he is slipping into her place or they are doing this so she has no power over him making them equal. Which if she wasn't fired/quit is just going to piss her off more.
@@acgearsandarms1343 I was going to say this, the moment that half eaten sandwich was chucked in the trash I'd have *yelled* "Hey! That was my second lunch you ruined! I expect to be reimbursed for both of them NOW!" Would have told my direct manager that I wanted to file an HR complaint in front of everyone that was there too. I used to be young and dumb and would let people walk on me like that. These days? nope. I'll put up with all the normal office BS but this crosses a line that shall not be crossed.
I wish legal action could be/was taken against that EM in the pea soup story. She left her infant unsupervised for over 30 minutes in a semi public space. She committed an action that someone with even half a brain could realize would put a child endanger(i.e. slamming the baby-filled carrier down on a bowl of hot liquid. I think at least reckless endangerment right? I pray for every child that has such a careless and inattentive parent.
I don't think she'll be fired right now (since at least were I live, it's illegal to fire someone during their maternity leave). But I don't think that supervisor will get back after her maternity leave ends, unless it's to get her stuff.
I have a story about parents leaving their baby on a table. I was in a big shopping mall with my friends, and we decided to go eat at the cafeteria. When we had grabbed our food and found a table, we noticed a couple with an adorable baby. We then witnessed them lay the baby on their back on the small table (without a carrier) and leave to order food. I was so disgusted, there were a lot of people that could have kidnapped the baby. Not to mention the fact that the baby was *maybe* 2 months old and almost fell off the table multiple times. I swear some people shouldn't have children.
She ruined his lunch twice 😭 i wouls literally cry if someone not only spills my soup but then, after not getting their way, throws away my sandwich...
Right? I honestly think the sandwich throwing should be an immediate termination. I know he gets promoted in the update, but I don't know if she gets fired. I hope so.
The last story reminds me of my family. My Papa (grandpa on dad's side) used to be a chain smoker. My dad has bad asthma, and mom was worried about him smoking around me. Well the day I was born he went into the hospital room and threw the pack of smokes in his pocket away. "I'm quitting so I can hold my grand baby". 38 years later he's still smoke free and will be turning 92 this year.
My step dad did same thing he quit smoking so he hold grand kids. My mother in law is allergic smoke so we are careful with smoke around our kids. FYI my dad never met my kids but died of stage 4 lung cancer.
I'm pretty sure my late grandpa (dad's side) also used to smoke. I'm not sure when he quit, but something tells part of it was for his family. The only thing I know was that he quit long before I entered the picture (I'm grandkid number 6 out of 7 if that helps).
My Dad smoked until I was 7. I found his cigarettes in the kitchen drawer and started crying, begging him to stop. He said, "Okay, no problem." He hasn't smoked since and I am 49. Sometimes it takes a child to give people a "why".
@@limiv5272 i always thought Wedding Edict 1 is don't wear white or whatever color the bride is wearing unless you're the bride. Edict rule 2 is if you see someone violating rule 1 you &/or your party are obligated to spill food and drinks on them.
I had a friend get married about four or five years ago and both here sister and her mom wore white. She actually asked her mom to, but her sister showed up also wearing. white and it looked more like a wedding dress than the brides. People are crazy.
I'm surprised that within like the first five minutes of the baby being a left alone with somebody finding it that they would've called police and CPS on her ass.
My service dog, Atlas, and I are so in the routine of watching R/slash every morning before classes together that now Atlas is learning to recognize Dabney’s voice! It’s crazy and hilarious 😂 we both love the content! Keep it up!
After morning medical cannabis, D'Nala and I listen to rslash. She is 14 1/2. After 14 years of hard work, she gets pretty toasty every day. Still in the new listener binging stage. After about an hour we start our day. It is easy to add to the routine. We have had enough deficits, (moved 3k miles cause of DV) that this is a welcome addition. Hoping to get my channel going soon. D'Nala is hard not to share.
I homeschool my sister and lay on the couch while she's in her zoom calls in case she needs my help. I listen ti RSlash and a few other youtubers and all three of our dogs have a favorite. Our smallest dog always climbs onto my back when I put RSlash on
Oml I posted a similar comment a while ago! I play rslash right before I get out of bed so I can get ready listening to that days video and as soon as my dog hears Dabney’s voice, he jolts up because he knows he gets to go outside. So funny how dogs recognize things like that!
As a smoker, I have hosed another smoker down with the dish sprayer because they wouldn't put their cigarette out in our apartment. If I didn't smoke inside, no one did and I didn't smoke because we had a roommate that was very sensitive to it. Like OP, this was the 80s but the concept of courtesy did exist then like it does today. However, looking back, I do wish I had thought or had the means to, carry that guy out as OP did.
My best friend said I have full permission to do anything (Not Illegal) to the person who disrespects her wedding, I've made plans that involved water balloons, water guns, paint ball gun, sling shot, and a trip wire. The condiments that will be used would include Mustard, Wine, Acrylic paints, paint balls, and anything that will cause a stain. Even my best friend's boyfriend agreed to help weather he is the groom or guest... I can be an evil little Gremlin
At my daughters school, there was a small parking lot about 50 feet away from drop off, but these parents were so lazy, they'd sit in that traffic for an hour. I was in and out in 10 minutes. I can't comprehend that level of laziness.
@@Kingof_Coffee Can i recommend Science-CZcamsrs to you? I 'spam' this through the commentsection cause why-not. I dont cae if some mistake me for an ad-robot.
I’m just shocked from the 1st story, 5 MILES WITH NO BUS??? That’s even worse than my district’s mile limit, elementary kids have to live over 0.8 miles for bus rides, junior high is 1.1, & high school is 1.3
The radius for my high school was 2.5 miles (don't remember what the middle and elementary school ones were.) By that logic, I was 2.3 miles away from school, and "too close" to ride the bus, which was aggravating.
When I was in middle school the cut off was any thing within 2 miles. Unfortunately I lived 1.8miles away, so I was stuck walking(my mom couldn’t take me because had to go to work early and got off too late to pick me up).
But equally as crazy is someone demanding login info to your account when theyre offended at your posts. Even if she knew the difference between reddit and youtube... being mad at the OP, sure. Even demanding they take it down and apologize i can understand. But demanding access to their account info is crazy.
That one parent was definitely a jerk, but ultimately the school board was at fault for that mess. They really should have seen that coming. Expecting elementary school kids to walk 5 miles because they lost the ability to ride the bus was insane, so of course the parents are driving their kids to and from school. There are kids that the bus is REQUIRED to pick them up at their house due to medical reasons. I know because my brother and I were among that group. The only reason mom didn't fight for that after moving to FL was there was no way for the bus to get down that road safely.
When I was in elementary school (in the 60s) the school would not accept students that lived over a mile away. Then a new subdivision was built and the builders/planners didn't allow for schools/parks/gas stations/shopping/fire department service. How they got their permits and approval to build I still don't know.
The school board may have made things more challenging for getting children to the school, but they are absolutely not responsible for the crappy, dangerous, and selfish behaviour of the parents/carers blocking up the roads at drop off and pick up time. The only people that have any level of blame for that are the people driving and parking those vehicles. None of whom have any excuse for their behaviour. I'm sure they would all like to blame the school board for taking away the bus service. But the lack of buses doesn't cause them to behave that way, their own selfishness causes that.
In Sweden, there are limits on how far away you can live and still get free access to transportation. For teens, the distance is 5km. The bird distance, not the length of the accident road. Nor any adjustments for winter when bicycling is not an option. Some schools pay to give their students bus cards anyway, and students usually just use the public transport.
@@damionlee7658 aah, but the board clearly didn't think to create a new plan that would make the transition easier. The neighborhood wasn't designed for the extra traffic and it's obvious that nobody thought of a drop off/pick up plan that would allow for it to work. Coordinating with the neighborhood, school, and emergency services to create the pick up and drop off points would've been a good idea, but they didn't and left everyone else to deal with their screw up.
@@marjoriejohnston4905 and these people are adults with driving licenses; they should be perfectly capable of thinking "It would be dangerous for us to park and block up the streets, so we will make sure we don't". Blaming the school board for not doing something so the parents don't have to think for themselves is ridiculous. If these people can drive a car, they should be capable of parking safely. They are capable of parking safely, they are just too selfish and lazy to do so. What is really needed is an officer to patrol for a couple of weeks giving drivers fines for their dangerous parking. They'll start deciding it is better to be less lazy than to keep being hit with fines.
Wow on the smoking story! Both of my maternal grandparents were big smokers, but they quit when my older sister came into the picture (though grandpa would have the occasional stogie). They’d never pull the “I’m grandparent so the rules don’t apply to me” crap
I'm 18 now but still have pretty bad asthma, guess whose the child of someone who smoked during their pregnancy and only quit smoke to do vaping with heavy amounts of nicotine in their vape.
I like how the aunt was complaining about the red it post and how OP put a part two. She should of realized that if he was "crazy" he would do the exact same thing again. Good on you OP. Continue to put her character for all to see. Muwhahahahahah!
As far as the mother who dropped the baby off in the lunch room, I would’ve demanded that she paid for both of my meals. The one she ruined and then the one she threw away. Then I would demand the HR get involved. I can’t stand bad parents.
If there's one thing I know from attending weddings, Never. EVER. Wear. White. unless you're the bride... I mean dresses to clarify. A hat or tie, shirt, etc is fine but being all white when not the bride is a huge bad move.
The irony of a _supervisor_ leaving her baby _unsupervised_ in a place with a, to her, complete stranger just to go make a complaint to the boss for something she caused herself is quite hilarious. On a serious note, I think she just wanted to start off her return by asserting her authority and get the new guy in trouble, because "newcomers need to learn their place" I guess.
I feel for the little one from the last story. I also have an allergy to something in cigarettes, I know it's not the tabbaco because my brother smokes a pipe and I haven't had a reaction from that smoke, it might be the embalming fluid used to preserve the leaves, but anyway, I can't even breath around third hand smoke.
I cant believe the audacity in that story, if someone came into my house smoking after I told them to put it out, they would have gotten a bucket of water dumped on them.
Me too! I have a horrible reaction to cigarettes, but somehow e-cigarettes don't affect me. I have no idea what I'm reacting to, but given the amount of known toxins in cigarettes I don't intend to find out, better to just avoid them
I'm hypersensitive to nicotine. Coughing fits from the smoke, nausea, vomiting if exposed too long, and I can't even shake hands with someone wearing a patch without a reaction. I had to change doctors twice because of this. My sympathy to anyone with problems from someone else's addiction.
Yo, I relate so hard to that secondhand smoke allergy story. I have that allergy badly enough that the smoke off of people’s clothing in stores will set off asthma-like attacks and make it hard for me to breath, and being around the cigarette actively being smoked is all but impossible. The number of entitled people at non-smoking venues who decide that their right to poison the air is more important than my right to life or the business’s right to say no smoking is absurd. I’ve had people who were willing to put out their cigarettes to come pet my dog when they thought that the DOG was allergic, but when I clarified they get upset and refuse so I leave. When I was in travel softball I had parents on the other team intentionally light up just on the fence (where it’s still not allowed) specifically to take me out of the game because I couldn’t pitch for a while after being exposed. The number of really entitled and rude smokers have really made it hard to not instantly judge people as bad people based solely on that one fact. Really hard.
@@shortangel333 Those things are already full of several hundred substances known to cause cancer, do you really think a little gun powder will stop smokers??
It is forbidden to smoke in covered bus stops where I live. Yet the amount of people who do so anyway is infuriating. Snus is also very common in my country (snus is tobacco you place under the lip) and is also super nasty, but at least it won't spread smoke.
There is no lady who does the voices, he just smacks himself with a board, right in the good ol' family jewels and it raises his voice a few octaves. /s
I usually put rslash on while cooking no need to watch just listen. fun to listen to people dealing with a**holes. since my wife works from home she listens along with me.
I bought a little Bluetooth speaker as my phone isn't loud and then I can garden or cook and listen. The fact that Dabney describes any photos is fantastic
That school parking story hits home a bit. In my neighborhood, there's a school right by one of the only 2 ways in and out if the neighborhood where traffic always wraps around and out of the school lot and halfway up the 5 block long entrance way at pickup time. If you're working or just out for whatever reason, don't expect to be getting in that way without any prolonged stop for 20 minutes just to get to the stop sign. And forget making a upturn because there's usually a few more stragglers that lull up behind you if you've forgotten about school times. It's only a 6-8 block round trip to go in from the other entrance. But it's still a bit of an inconvenience, especially if you end up having to rush things for a family emergency or something.
Also pretty much entirely the fault of school administration. How the hell do they cut buses, meaning everyone who used to ride the bus will now ride in one car each taking about half or so the bus would take, and not expect everything to go terribly? It's an obvious disaster from the very first second the decision was made. 10 buses worth of students were cut!
I had a very similar situation to the first story. Our house was on a street behind both the high and jr high schools of our school district. When we moved in, the area directly behind our house was undeveloped woodland, but perhaps 6 years after we moved in, that land was bought between the school district and a development company. Several acres right behind my house was turned into a couple of baseball diamonds and a new football/track field with bleacher seating. there was *very minimal* parking by the football field only for security, practice coaches and the occasional community use of the track. At first our neighborhood was ok with this, but the first time there was a home game, it was pandemonium. EVERYONE was trying to park at the field, creating a long train of backed up traffic, and those quick enough took every inch of available street parking on our block. They even blocked driveways. This was very problematic because many of us parked on the street already, so when we came home there was no where to park. Also, the crowds were LOUD, and there was a spike in car break ins, theft and vandalism. Eventually the school arranged busses to charter visitors from the school to the field, but that did not solve the problem completely. I've since moved, but to my knowledge it's still a rather annoying problem to this day.
I love imagining OP's cousin finding this second post and telling their mom about it. Aunt Karen probably would probably blow her lid when she realizes that there are now two posts online about her being an entitled parent
The way I see it being a smoker myself, I smoke outside because my 15 year old doesn’t smoke, it’s one thing to wreck my lungs it’s another to wreck my child’s
Had parents in my neighborhood drive to pick up their kids at the bus stop at the start of the subdivision(they moved the stop) they would crowd everyones houses in the front One person blocked part of our drive and mailbox, my dad had enough and pretended to turn short scaring the karen into thinking she was going to get hit They moved the drop off back to the place halfway in the subdivision .... Honestly though, youre kids can walk the few extra feet dont make them lazy
Honestly, the bus sucked anyway. I was fortunate enough to be very close to my school but not in a situation where a bunch of parents would park on my street. I was like two blocks away. Short walk, but the houses right across the street ALWAYS had blocked driveways. I can't imagine how annoying that would be!
@@StoryTimeWithKarenandKevin i went to a small private school that didnt have a bus service so the only time I road on one was to feild trips and sports games We do like 5miles from the schools they are coming from but the issue only came when they relocated the bus stop from inside the subdivision to the start of the subdivision So the parents didnt want their kids to have to walk a few extra feet to get home Once they moved it back to its orginal spot parents stopped sitting in cars entirely like they did prior to the stop relocation
@@BVBGirl-3313 Ah, got ya. I walked to high school, but I also went to a private school with no bus service up until 9th grade. I probably could have walked there too, but my gandma was very controlling and wouldn't let me. So I also only used the bus for field trips too. I really didn't enjoy it. Got bullied and it smelled bad. I was in marching band, so after performances, it would reek, lol.
@@StoryTimeWithKarenandKevin yeah I normally just rode the bus to games and my parents would take me home so luckily I didnt have to deal with post sports stank ... In elementary I did ride the daycare bus after school but i was the last stop and the daycare was super close to the school so I didnt have much issues but daycare buses are a different breed to school buses so I dont count it
I can no longer watch or listen to these entitledparents, because everytime I get so full of rage. I got no family of myself, but goddamn. these parents shouldn't be allowed to have kids..
@@seanshanleyAnimeUWLPer I don't have the link for it. I watched it on CZcams, either this channel or r/Mr Redder, can't remember which, might have been both.
@@limiv5272 Basically, like OP said in this video. His Aunt's son had a newer, less popular youtube channel than OP, and she wanted OP to upload her son's videos to his channel to increase the chances of her son's videos being watched, and when OP refused his aunt threw a fit.
I think the time is coming when we have to say "enough". These people are sociopaths, entitled children who never grew up, and never learned the meaning of the word "NO". The Karens I know are considerate and kind. It's high time we on from this meme.
My parents had a very similar fight with my dad's side of the family because I have asthma and can't be in clouds of cigarette smoke either, except they wouldn't stop smoking around us so we stopped visiting and they wasn't allowed over, haven't seen or spoken to my dad's side of the family in 25 years
The wedding story just reminded me that BOTH my husband's mother AND step mother wanted to wear white to the wedding. My mom told both of them (separately, bc of course they each came up with the idea themselves) that they could wear what ever color they wanted, but she wasn't going to stop anyone from telling them they were trashy for wearing white to my wedding. I'm pretty sure all three of my sisters were coming up with comments to make if they did it. They both decided to wear black. These two women constantly have to be the center of attention. I have TONS of stories about his mom (he and I grew up together and were close friends throughout school) and a handful about his step mom. We seriously considered having security at the wedding because we were so sure that step mom was gonna say something snide to mom and mom was going to start a fight. I found out three years later that it almost DID break down into a fight and my mom and sisters and his sister had to spend pretty much the whole wedding keeping them separated and distracting them from each other. They all knew they were probably going to have to do this anyways.
First story: everyone on the neighboring streets could have “rented” a cop to sit at the entrances of their streets to prevent those parents from entering (they would have to prove via DL that they lived on that street)! Problem solved! Actually, surprised that they weren’t involved in the first place by the neighbors calling it in and especially for the ambulance incident! Also, a nice little lawsuit against the school and school department would have been a nice incentive to do something. School has issues with transportation and parent pickup…not the neighborhood’s monkey or circus. School, five miles away, really? Everyone else does a mile or more. Actually less for the really young ones like 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Here’s a couple of suggestions: with the two or three busses, a staggered start time with the oldest ones or grades 2 or 3 grades at a time being picked up and dropped off first then move down to the youngest! Stagger the pickup times for the grades and for those who have multiple kids, have their parent get them when the youngest is at the leaving time. Story two: even if you didn’t plop the carrier on top of op’s meal, YOU LEFT YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED!!! That alone would have gotten you a “go home” if not have the police called on you about it.
Last story: I'm assuming the kid has an allergy to smoke and I'm glad the parents took it very seriously. I have a *mild* allergy to smoke, which my parents attempted to pretend did not exist until the day that it got so bad that *my throat swelled up and I fainted due to suffocation.* Thankfully I was only out for a few seconds (I'm assuming) and there appeared to have been no lasting effects to my health (no, they did not take their daughter who stopped breathing to the hospital). My dad had to lift me up from the armpits and carry me out of the venue where the air wasn't thick and clouded with smoke. I almost wonder if I would've survived had the event taken place with extended family instead of strangers who could yell at and judge my family for watching me flop on the ground like a fish, struggling to breathe, and complain that I needed to stop being overdramatic.
I have the same problem as OP in the first story: less bussing, more kids, and more parents picking up and dropping off their kids and parking along the narrow residential street, blocking traffic. It's been a problem, but nothing has changed since it started a few years ago! I wish parents would carpool, or something! We have elderly on our street. When my Dad was alive (he had Alzheimer' and Diabetes) I shuddered at the thought of what would happen if we needed to call am ambulance between 2 and 4 PM or between 7 and 9 AM because of the potential road blockage! But I did learn one thing: it's legal here for emergency vehicles to "nudge" a car out of the way.
The first story is the EXACT thing that happened at my old neighborhood. People would just park in my driveway, block it, back up the whole street. Adults and kids would play and hang out in my neighbors backyard, without their permission. Children would also destroy property and plants.
I live just around the corner from an elementary school, so I feel the first OP's pain. People who only live a couple of blocks from the school - well within easy walking distance - still drive to pick their kids up. Our street becomes a parking lot every afternoon. The parents are awful, and the school district refuses to do anything to organize the chaos. Those of us on the streets around the school have complained repeatedly, and some have called the police, but our PD is notoriously lazy. There's even been talk of a lawsuit.
My brother was getting boba tea (the restaurant required masks), and then this lady walked in with her family (unmasked) and walked up, straight to my brother and said, “get that stinky diaper of your face and breathe the air god gave us” I’m still confused on why out of all people in the boba place, she walked up to my brother
I never understood smokers that would endanger their children/grandchildren. They don't see the problem with being so addicted to something they can't go 30 minutes without it.
In the first story I imagine the neighborhood simply could of gone after the school district given how many problems they were causing without trying to relieve the issue by either rezoning, expanding the school itself, or re hiring buses. Seems like negligence honestly, especially when they already got in trouble for barring an ambulance from being able to reach an emergency due to the back flow of cars. Hopefully they've shaped up in recent years, yet knowing how these stories go I can only imagine their still doing the same thing.
Story 2: This is only really related because I worked retail for 10 years and dealt with untold thousands of women (and managers) like this woman. My first job I had after I moved out was at Macy's, it was a crappy job and that was a whole story in itself, but how bad Macy's was literally started on my first day. I got hired on as seasonal help for the holidays and we were doing an early Black Friday sale. There was a line going out the door, tons of salesmen and people running around, and they have me on the cash register ringing people out. I remember this blonde woman, karen haircut and the Paramilitary Shopping Turtleneck rushes through the transaction, yells at me for trying to follow the cashier script for promotions, and then angrily drags her mess of shopping bags forcing through people and out the door. I still was a retail veteran at this point, seen a hundred like her so i didnt care. Roughly an hour later I come back from using the bathroom, and theres Karen, all of her shopping bags, with all three of my managers standing at my register. Before I can even ask whats going on Karen yells at me, "WELL ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE IT BACK?!" Me: "What's going on? Give what back?" Karen: "YOU never gave ME my CREDIT CARD BACK." Me: "Ma'am im sorry, I didn't take your credit card, you can check my pockets, my register, look at cameras, I promise you I didn't take it." Karen: "Are you saying im lying?!" Me: "No, I just have no idea where your card is and I didnt take it." At this point, my managers ask me to turn out my pockets, they start moving everything around my register looking for a card, when I remembered in the past some crap my dad has done and I tell the Karen, Me: "You know sometimes I've seen people be in such a rush they put their money or credit cards in their bags by accident and think they lost them." Karen gives me this smug and bitchy look like im an idiot, and then without breaking eye contact shoves her hand in her bag to mock me like an idiot, like HURR HURR ITS NOT IN HERE STUPID, NICE TRY YOU THIEF, when I see that stupid ass look immediately vanish from her face when we both realized shes found something. Lo and behold, she put her fuckin card in her shopping bag and was too stupid to check anything before coming into the store to call me a thief. All of my managers look at her when one finally says "Well... so....?" She just does a 180* turn and leaves without saying a single word. No sorry, no oh jeez, nothing. Fuck that lady. (Also fuck Macy's xD)
On Wednesdays and Sundays, we have to deal with blocked driveways we can hardly get into ours because everyone likes to park on the side and it makes it hard to get through And the smoking story sounds like how I get effected by smoking. I get choked up easily even with small bits of smoke
Right off the bat with that first story is something which happens in the village I've grown up and still live in and gets me riled up every time. When I was at the primary school, there was heaps of notices given out at the end of the school day telling parents not to park on the street where the school is and to encourage those living in the village or in walking distance to walk to school. That was in the 90's, now its an absolute circus on the main road through the village, which has a bottle neck passing the school and streets that come off from school's street. I made the mistake to drive up the village on the main road once instead of another route, not only was the road busy, but almost had one car pull out into me and another very close drive into the side of me soon after as they were pulling out from the school's street. Had a laugh though not long ago with the lollypop lady who sees this nonsense everyday, when the main road was a stand still for a good stretch of the road because the bottle neck had been blocked and traffic gathered at both ends. There was a lot of angry people in a rush to be places and there's the two of us with me out with the doggos laughing because most of the parents in that jam live not even 5 minutes walk from the school.
i was also a kid that had breathing issues around smokers. (Back in the 60s/70s.) my dad was a smoker. As soon as the Dr told them that my breathing issues were due to being around second hand smoke he quit, cold turkey. Love you, Dad!
My parents smoked heavily in our house and car but never did in other people's houses. It always angered me that they did this to our stuff but respected our friends or other family more to not smoke around them even when my siblings and I asked them to not smoke around us. I still refuse to visit them or ride in a car with them as they've never stopped smoking.
1st story is classic EP behavior. Back in the day my parents old house was on a street with a large medical building at one end of it. This street is directly connected to one of the main streets in the city so there is always traffic on their street. Parking is allowed only on 1 side. In the winter the street gets a bit narrower with the snowbanks creeping out from ppls driveways. Sometimes during the day when ppl are working or going to appointments at the medical building there are so many cars parked on the street its down to just one lane. My parent's house had one of the bigger yard on the street. We had 2 driveways. One on either side of the house. One winter we had a huge snowfall, like 3-4 feet in 1 day. Now down at the medical building parking is limited, maybe 30-40 spots. Most are taken up by ppl who work there so most ppl with appointments just park on the side streets. One day this EP decides he is going to completely block one of our driveways. You can clearly see where the ditches are and that there culvert between the where our 2nd driveway is, I am out using the snowblower and I am about 1/4 of the way done when the EP parks across the driveway and his wife and kid get out and start to walk down the street to the medical building. He stood outside his car having a smoke. I walked closer to him and told he can't park there, its a driveway. He just stared at me and and said I dont see any tire tracks. I replied thats cuz it just snowed genius. He started to cuss me out..mouthy kid etc... after that he finished his smoke and walk down the street to the med. building. So I proceeded to dump almost a whole driveway's worth of snow on his car. Covered the hood, roof, trunk. Then I went and got the garden hose and sprayed the whole car for about 10 min. Finally when I was done I left a note on his car to have it moved before 4:30 when my dad got home or it would be towed. Dad came home in the work truck..a tow truck. buh bye car. An hour later the guy is pounding on the door, just flings it open and tells the guy to F-off and that his car is at the impound yard. Best time I ever had clearing the driveways.
Experience shows that making verbal demands while the police are there generally does work. OP's say whatever they have to and then go right back to doing what they promised they wouldn't. Press charges next time.
OP in the last story has the right idea. NEVER open your door to polics unless they can show you a warrant. And if they push the issue, tell them to go get a warrant.
Stepmom Wears White to a Wedding: I have to say, I'm very impressed this didn't go the bridezilla route. It's like she knew it wasn't going to be perfect, but it was still a happy day no matter what. She didn't let anything ruin it or her emotions get the better of her. Then she spoke her mind to the rude guest and gave her stepmom the options.
the last story hits bc my mother in law smokes and refuses to spend time with her grandkids because of it. even when the kids are begging her to play with them, she will push them off of her and go to smoke. now shes offended that they dont want to interact with her anymore
My grandma did that to my mom with the white dress. Except it also had a very very generous v neck that went down to belly and was in shape of a heart. When my aunts got married they firmly set boundaries to not have that happen to them. She stills acts as if nothing was wrong
Argh, that first story is so ffing relatable. My parents have lived right next to an elementary school for as long as I can remember, probably even from before I was born (not sure). This particular school is linked to a specific christian denomination which doesn't have a lot of school in the region and as such, children from that denomination come from miles around to that school, often in taxis or brought by their parents. I can't count the number of times when my parents' driveway has been blocked by taxi drivers and/or parents waiting to pick up their kids. Most of the time they will grudgingly move their car when my parents just happen to need to get out of their driveway, but there are still plenty of cases where they'll simply be told "I'll be gone in 15 minutes, surely you can wait that long".... police won't do jack about it unfortunately and talking to the school about it only ever helped for a week or something. The stupid bit is, several years back the specific denomination built a church right behind the school with ample parking space. They also added a gate from the schoolyard unto that parking lot so that they can easily get from the church to the school and vice versa. There is absolutely nothing that would stop them from just using that parking lot to drop off kids or to wait for them. But noooooo, that is a parking lot for church, not for the school, so nooooo, they could never use that... even though it is always friggin' empty during dismissal times....
With the smoking one, I’d just have a couple high ish power water guns, every time someone tries to smoke just spray them and the cigarette until they learn to stop
It makes me laugh when people say "That was a private conversation! Why would you post about that?!" Um, maybe because I was part of the conversation, so I have every right to talk about it with other people if I want to. Unless there's some confidentiality agreement between the parties, or you're divulging secrets you promised to keep you're allowed to discuss any conversation you had with whomever you please. If telling others about our conversation is going to make you look bad, maybe you should learn how to keep your big mouth shut and your entitlement in check lol.
My dog was abused by a smoker as a puppy and as a result now is scared of people who smell like smoke. He will be sweet but as soon as he smells smoke on someone he starts growling and barking and can be quite scary. At least I know with him around my kids are safe from secondhand smoke.
In the pea soup story I think I would be at the point of hangry to go to the boss' office and tell him straight away about what happened especially if EM is in there with the boss. Something along the lines of "Hey boss, sorry to interrupt I just wanted to inform you that woman dumped her bags and baby carrier on my lunch and left it unattended" Tho I'd probably be very impatient to EM BS in that state of mind
On the wedding story... I'm a male, and unless stated otherwise in the invitation I'd never wear white at a wedding, just in case. I have no idea if the rule about wearing white applies only to ladies or not, but I prefer be safe than sorry.
My mother is a heavy smoker and thinks she's entitled to smoke anywhere and it pisses me off. I had to pick her up from the airport when she flew in for my wedding, and I told her MONTHS beforehand "You are not smoking in my car." She whined and fussed about having to go a whole half hour after getting off the plane without a cigarette. Whatever. I reminded her as we got closer to the wedding that she was not, under any circumstances, allowed to smoke in my car, no matter what. She threw an absolute FIT, saying it wasn't fair to expect her to go an entire plane ride and then an entire car ride to the hotel without smoking. I told her I didn't care, and if she tried to smoke in my car, I'd leave her at the airport. This turned into a multi-day fight that I finally ended by telling her my fiancee was allergic to secondhand smoke (she was and is). Mom: Oh why didn't you say THAT? Of course I won't smoke in the car Me: Because it's MY CAR and I shouldn't have to tell you to have basic respect for MY PROPERTY (Note, the car is ENTIRELY in my name, she's never helped me pay for anything, so she can't even say she's a co-signer or whatever) We still had to stand outside at ten p.m. the night before my wedding in the middle of the DFW airport parking garage so she could smoke her precious cigarette. smdh I hate smokers
I'm so happy about that last story. A lot of my family are awful smokers, and me with my asthma is so awful because you're hit with the smell as soon as you walk into their house. My aunt smokes in my mom's car, and since she sits up front it often goes straight on me. Oh, and she never smokes just one cigarette. It's gotta be like three. Long car rides are awful. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and my aunt, but my parents (mainly my mom, my dad doesn't like to visit her family) didn't really do much to prevent them from smoking around me. I've tried to talk to my aunt politely about smoking in the car before, when I was a teenager, and my mom pulled me aside and lectured me because that was apparently a rude thing to do. So now I just have to roll down my window and bring masks whenever we go to visit.
First story: all the parents come with there cars and crowding the streets. My high school when it lets out: flooding the side walk with so many students you’d think it was a protest if they had big cardboard signs
And she didn't even leave to a complain to the manager, she didn't even notice the pea soup initially. She dropped her baby and left to chat, went back, noticed the mess and left her baby a second time to go complain. Also, I've heard this story before...which is confusing cause I can't remember if you told it and this is a repeat, or it was someone else.
The smoking story, as a. Smoker for 30 years ( young readers please don’t start) I smoked in my house. Even back in the 90’s I would never smoke in someone else’s car, house etc unless they gave me specifics permission. When my first grandkids were born my son asked me to stop smoking in my house or they couldn’t come down. Yeah I was a little pissed at first but ultimately the health and well-being of my grandkids come first. I haven’t smoked in my house for 3 years (except a couple of horrible weather days)
I’m 22, I’ve smoked a pack a day since senior year of HS… ive never had the audacity to smoke in someone elses house until I KNOW they do to, I smoke in my car but wont in someone else’s unless I KNOW they do too. This is just crazy to me considering if I’m about to smoke a cigarette in PUBLIC WHILE OUTSIDE and notice kids nearby ill take a little walk away as to not bother them with the smell.
It really angers me that the grandmother knowingly was putting the kid in danger. and it isn't even because of the risks that second hand smoking causes to an average person. But purely because the grandmother was fully aware that the baby was allergic to cigarettes to some degree. Even when I was a smoker (senior year of high school, stopped out of spite because my manager told me I was addicted) my first priority was to stay away from young people when I smoked because I didn't want to risk them any harm.
Back in the '80s you were still on the tail end of even non-smokers needing ashtrays because if you didn't have one there was a good chance any of your guests who smoked would not only smoke anyway, they'd use things like your plants for their ash and butts¹. It was only just finally changing to be that you needed to ask before you smoked in someone else's home, (even then, a 'no' meant they would smoke outside and probably toss their butt on the ground).
1: In the '70s this was not only considered normal, you were considered rude for not providing an ashtray.
My mums been smoking since she was in her late teens. Finally quit last year. She never smoked in the house and always smoked outside. And never when she visited my grandparents (my grandad had quit a long while before he sadly passed away)
My Mom, Biological Dad, and Grandparents were all heavy smokers up until I was 6. To be fair my bio dad still is but He’s barely been in the picture. Anyway my mom noticed I was having worse than usual breathing issues and the doctors told her I had emphysema. That woman went cold Turkey when she found out I was having so many issues and remained smoke free until she passed. My Grandma and Grandpa both quit eventually as well!
I'm also allergic to cigarettes. My mother was a smoker. If I started coughing, she'd tell me to stop making such a fuss and deliberately blow smoke in my face. One time she threw a cigarette butt out the car window and it got sucked into my window and landed on me, burning a hole in my dress. When I complained, she yelled at me. One of many reasons we weren't very close.
That's so sad, valuing the addiction over the child.
I am also allergic to cigarettes. I'm happy to hear someone else be because all my life other people (beside my immediate family) have acted like it doesn't exist and i'm just making it up as an excuse to not have smokers around me.
I also have a minor allergy, and I find having to wait at the bus stop is like having to formulate a plan of attack - 'Okay, Old Guy is smoking off to my left, but the wind is coming from the right, so as long as I stand at this angle behind the plastic barrier, I should also be safe from Vaping Gym Bro two metres ahead of me...Wait, bugger, there's a ambush coming straight for me! It's a pack of wild Smoking Karens with prams! ABORT MISSION, FLEE FOR THE BUS!!!'
It's just a minor allergy, so it won't kill me, but it does make it hard to breathe properly, and my chest hurts and I feel nauseous for a while.

A Older Ex-Coworker of mine is Allergic to Nicotine, she quit after nothing was done about another Also ex-coworker Blew Nicotine Vape in her face laughing like it was a joke (Among other unrelated Issues nothing was done about)
So, about the soup one: seems the post is a bit older, and there was a update: OP got a extra lunch time to get another McChicken (since EM threw half of his alway, like ruining his soup wasn't enough), and he was going to start supervisor training the next week, and wouldn't work under EM, so I think she got fired. WHOOPS!

*proceeds to harm child with smoke*
So much for loving them. 🤷♀️ my great aunt was not the easiest pill to swallow but she did quit smoking for me. Basically, if you really love your kids, you’ll protect them.
Yes thank you!!! I have a severe heart defect that I was born with and can’t really be around anyone that smokes, harsh smells,etc. and when my mom had posted that sign up around my home, my uncle started his journey of quitting smoking, because not only was he my uncle, he was my godfather
@@selenachavira3508 ❤️
My mom has smoked for like 50 years now and all five of her kids have BEGGED HER to stop.
She wouldn't and cried if we didn't allow her to smoke around us.
I'm NC with her now for a lot of reasons but all of them come down to "She refuses to change and if she can't do it for her children, she'll never do it at all"
It's disgusting to put another person at harm due to YOUR bad habits
@@JHyde-tv3if :( thats so sad.
Op picked the EM up 🤣 Talk about being the bigger person.
I would have quit that job with the crazy pea soup lady. Not only did she ruin your first lunch, but then she grabbed your half of sandwich and threw it away and the manager didn't FIRE HER? Forget that place.
Apparently there was a mini update where they were given more lunch time because of her and he will be starting supervisor training the next week. So either she got fired/quit and he is slipping into her place or they are doing this so she has no power over him making them equal. Which if she wasn't fired/quit is just going to piss her off more.
Doesn’t she still owe the man two lunches? I would at least say she had to reimburse him for the soup and the unfinished sandwich.
@@SailorMya that makes it a pretty solid revenge story, lol. She loses either way!
@@acgearsandarms1343 I was going to say this, the moment that half eaten sandwich was chucked in the trash I'd have *yelled* "Hey! That was my second lunch you ruined! I expect to be reimbursed for both of them NOW!"
Would have told my direct manager that I wanted to file an HR complaint in front of everyone that was there too.
I used to be young and dumb and would let people walk on me like that. These days? nope. I'll put up with all the normal office BS but this crosses a line that shall not be crossed.

I wish legal action could be/was taken against that EM in the pea soup story. She left her infant unsupervised for over 30 minutes in a semi public space. She committed an action that someone with even half a brain could realize would put a child endanger(i.e. slamming the baby-filled carrier down on a bowl of hot liquid. I think at least reckless endangerment right? I pray for every child that has such a careless and inattentive parent.
I don't think she'll be fired right now (since at least were I live, it's illegal to fire someone during their maternity leave). But I don't think that supervisor will get back after her maternity leave ends, unless it's to get her stuff.
What did you expect? It’s r/Doormats
And the McChicken
Ikr? Like, wtf lady?
I completely agree! I would also wish the dad in the last story would have pressed charges on the entitled grandma, smoking around a BABY!
I have a story about parents leaving their baby on a table.
I was in a big shopping mall with my friends, and we decided to go eat at the cafeteria. When we had grabbed our food and found a table, we noticed a couple with an adorable baby. We then witnessed them lay the baby on their back on the small table (without a carrier) and leave to order food. I was so disgusted, there were a lot of people that could have kidnapped the baby. Not to mention the fact that the baby was *maybe* 2 months old and almost fell off the table multiple times. I swear some people shouldn't have children.
Damn. This happens a lot.
All kids deserve a parent but not all parents deserve a kid
that child should be taken away and adopted by good people
@@idonthavecreativename This
@@idonthavecreativename The best quote to describe literally half the world's parents.
She ruined his lunch twice 😭 i wouls literally cry if someone not only spills my soup but then, after not getting their way, throws away my sandwich...
well there was an update, he was given another lunch break to get another mcchicken and she was fired
@@nazgulthedeathless9403 oh thats good
Right? I honestly think the sandwich throwing should be an immediate termination. I know he gets promoted in the update, but I don't know if she gets fired. I hope so.
@@StoryTimeWithKarenandKevin lol based on the wording of the update... he was promoted to her position
There's always dinner. I'd look forward to going home and making the tastiest sandwich, or cooking a really good meal.
The last story reminds me of my family. My Papa (grandpa on dad's side) used to be a chain smoker. My dad has bad asthma, and mom was worried about him smoking around me. Well the day I was born he went into the hospital room and threw the pack of smokes in his pocket away. "I'm quitting so I can hold my grand baby". 38 years later he's still smoke free and will be turning 92 this year.
My step dad did same thing he quit smoking so he hold grand kids. My mother in law is allergic smoke so we are careful with smoke around our kids. FYI my dad never met my kids but died of stage 4 lung cancer.
I'm pretty sure my late grandpa (dad's side) also used to smoke. I'm not sure when he quit, but something tells part of it was for his family. The only thing I know was that he quit long before I entered the picture (I'm grandkid number 6 out of 7 if that helps).
My Dad smoked until I was 7. I found his cigarettes in the kitchen drawer and started crying, begging him to stop. He said, "Okay, no problem." He hasn't smoked since and I am 49. Sometimes it takes a child to give people a "why".
Respect to your grandpa
Story 4: One of the trashiest things to do at a wedding is to wear white when you are not the bride. That often leads to ties being cut.
The bride was an absolute boss though.
I'm surprised nobody 'accidentally' spilled something on that stepmom
@@limiv5272 i always thought Wedding Edict 1 is don't wear white or whatever color the bride is wearing unless you're the bride.
Edict rule 2 is if you see someone violating rule 1 you &/or your party are obligated to spill food and drinks on them.
Idk the story seemed kind of made up.
I had a friend get married about four or five years ago and both here sister and her mom wore white. She actually asked her mom to, but her sister showed up also wearing. white and it looked more like a wedding dress than the brides. People are crazy.
I'm surprised that within like the first five minutes of the baby being a left alone with somebody finding it that they would've called police and CPS on her ass.
someone should have!
Ikr, what if someone was a kidnapper? How stupid do you have to be?
She was so,comfy, to show the boss some clothes...I have a basic feeling there is a bit more than friendship with how easy she got off
@@firepuppies4086 yeah especially if it's a man and they she treated her baby I'm guessing it's an affair baby.
Story 3: EM calls OP immature, yet what EM was doing was immature.

Now I'm imagining she seeing this video and emailing rslash to complain about this video. That would make an amazing video
My service dog, Atlas, and I are so in the routine of watching R/slash every morning before classes together that now Atlas is learning to recognize Dabney’s voice! It’s crazy and hilarious 😂 we both love the content! Keep it up!
What a good boy! Give him some pats for me lol
After morning medical cannabis, D'Nala and I listen to rslash. She is 14 1/2. After 14 years of hard work, she gets pretty toasty every day.
Still in the new listener binging stage. After about an hour we start our day.
It is easy to add to the routine. We have had enough deficits, (moved 3k miles cause of DV) that this is a welcome addition.
Hoping to get my channel going soon. D'Nala is hard not to share.
I homeschool my sister and lay on the couch while she's in her zoom calls in case she needs my help. I listen ti RSlash and a few other youtubers and all three of our dogs have a favorite. Our smallest dog always climbs onto my back when I put RSlash on
From one Atlas to another, please them that they're a good doggy!
Oml I posted a similar comment a while ago! I play rslash right before I get out of bed so I can get ready listening to that days video and as soon as my dog hears Dabney’s voice, he jolts up because he knows he gets to go outside. So funny how dogs recognize things like that!
"The rules don't apply to me because I'm Grandma!" Lady, you're the reason your granddaughter needs "no smoking" signs in the house to begin with!
As a smoker, I have hosed another smoker down with the dish sprayer because they wouldn't put their cigarette out in our apartment. If I didn't smoke inside, no one did and I didn't smoke because we had a roommate that was very sensitive to it. Like OP, this was the 80s but the concept of courtesy did exist then like it does today. However, looking back, I do wish I had thought or had the means to, carry that guy out as OP did.
I’m a smoker but I smoke outside, my 15 year old son doesn’t smoke

I’m just shocked from the 1st story, 5 MILES WITH NO BUS??? That’s even worse than my district’s mile limit, elementary kids have to live over 0.8 miles for bus rides, junior high is 1.1, & high school is 1.3
The radius for my high school was 2.5 miles (don't remember what the middle and elementary school ones were.) By that logic, I was 2.3 miles away from school, and "too close" to ride the bus, which was aggravating.
When I was in middle school the cut off was any thing within 2 miles. Unfortunately I lived 1.8miles away, so I was stuck walking(my mom couldn’t take me because had to go to work early and got off too late to pick me up).
Its always so funny to me when people feel like what they say can't end up on the internet. Like sorry you have accountability for your behavior now?
But equally as crazy is someone demanding login info to your account when theyre offended at your posts. Even if she knew the difference between reddit and youtube... being mad at the OP, sure. Even demanding they take it down and apologize i can understand. But demanding access to their account info is crazy.
It's anonymous too, so it doesn't matter anyway if your story ends up online.
That one parent was definitely a jerk, but ultimately the school board was at fault for that mess. They really should have seen that coming. Expecting elementary school kids to walk 5 miles because they lost the ability to ride the bus was insane, so of course the parents are driving their kids to and from school. There are kids that the bus is REQUIRED to pick them up at their house due to medical reasons. I know because my brother and I were among that group. The only reason mom didn't fight for that after moving to FL was there was no way for the bus to get down that road safely.
When I was in elementary school (in the 60s) the school would not accept students that lived over a mile away.
Then a new subdivision was built and the builders/planners didn't allow for schools/parks/gas stations/shopping/fire department service. How they got their permits and approval to build I still don't know.
The school board may have made things more challenging for getting children to the school, but they are absolutely not responsible for the crappy, dangerous, and selfish behaviour of the parents/carers blocking up the roads at drop off and pick up time.
The only people that have any level of blame for that are the people driving and parking those vehicles. None of whom have any excuse for their behaviour. I'm sure they would all like to blame the school board for taking away the bus service. But the lack of buses doesn't cause them to behave that way, their own selfishness causes that.
In Sweden, there are limits on how far away you can live and still get free access to transportation. For teens, the distance is 5km. The bird distance, not the length of the accident road. Nor any adjustments for winter when bicycling is not an option.
Some schools pay to give their students bus cards anyway, and students usually just use the public transport.
@@damionlee7658 aah, but the board clearly didn't think to create a new plan that would make the transition easier. The neighborhood wasn't designed for the extra traffic and it's obvious that nobody thought of a drop off/pick up plan that would allow for it to work. Coordinating with the neighborhood, school, and emergency services to create the pick up and drop off points would've been a good idea, but they didn't and left everyone else to deal with their screw up.
@@marjoriejohnston4905 and these people are adults with driving licenses; they should be perfectly capable of thinking "It would be dangerous for us to park and block up the streets, so we will make sure we don't". Blaming the school board for not doing something so the parents don't have to think for themselves is ridiculous.
If these people can drive a car, they should be capable of parking safely. They are capable of parking safely, they are just too selfish and lazy to do so.
What is really needed is an officer to patrol for a couple of weeks giving drivers fines for their dangerous parking. They'll start deciding it is better to be less lazy than to keep being hit with fines.
Wow on the smoking story!
Both of my maternal grandparents were big smokers, but they quit when my older sister came into the picture (though grandpa would have the occasional stogie). They’d never pull the “I’m grandparent so the rules don’t apply to me” crap
I'm 18 now but still have pretty bad asthma, guess whose the child of someone who smoked during their pregnancy and only quit smoke to do vaping with heavy amounts of nicotine in their vape.
@@shortangel333 Oof, sorry to hear that. I have asthma as well due to second hand smoking all thanks for my grandfather
I like how the aunt was complaining about the red it post and how OP put a part two. She should of realized that if he was "crazy" he would do the exact same thing again. Good on you OP. Continue to put her character for all to see. Muwhahahahahah!
I mean, if OP doesn't cut her from his life
As far as the mother who dropped the baby off in the lunch room, I would’ve demanded that she paid for both of my meals. The one she ruined and then the one she threw away. Then I would demand the HR get involved. I can’t stand bad parents.
Fourth story: She disrespects the bride and then makes a tantrum when is slightly punished. I admire the level of pacience of the bride.
If there's one thing I know from attending weddings, Never. EVER. Wear. White. unless you're the bride... I mean dresses to clarify. A hat or tie, shirt, etc is fine but being all white when not the bride is a huge bad move.
Some people just don't get past the tantrum phase
The irony of a _supervisor_ leaving her baby _unsupervised_ in a place with a, to her, complete stranger just to go make a complaint to the boss for something she caused herself is quite hilarious.
On a serious note, I think she just wanted to start off her return by asserting her authority and get the new guy in trouble, because "newcomers need to learn their place" I guess.
I feel for the little one from the last story. I also have an allergy to something in cigarettes, I know it's not the tabbaco because my brother smokes a pipe and I haven't had a reaction from that smoke, it might be the embalming fluid used to preserve the leaves, but anyway, I can't even breath around third hand smoke.
I cant believe the audacity in that story, if someone came into my house smoking after I told them to put it out, they would have gotten a bucket of water dumped on them.
Me too! I have a horrible reaction to cigarettes, but somehow e-cigarettes don't affect me. I have no idea what I'm reacting to, but given the amount of known toxins in cigarettes I don't intend to find out, better to just avoid them
I have asthma, someone smoking near my outside is bad enough. Inside would be even worse.
I'm hypersensitive to nicotine. Coughing fits from the smoke, nausea, vomiting if exposed too long, and I can't even shake hands with someone wearing a patch without a reaction. I had to change doctors twice because of this.
My sympathy to anyone with problems from someone else's addiction.
As someone deeply allergic to cigarettes, I would be so pissed off.
Yo, I relate so hard to that secondhand smoke allergy story. I have that allergy badly enough that the smoke off of people’s clothing in stores will set off asthma-like attacks and make it hard for me to breath, and being around the cigarette actively being smoked is all but impossible. The number of entitled people at non-smoking venues who decide that their right to poison the air is more important than my right to life or the business’s right to say no smoking is absurd.
I’ve had people who were willing to put out their cigarettes to come pet my dog when they thought that the DOG was allergic, but when I clarified they get upset and refuse so I leave. When I was in travel softball I had parents on the other team intentionally light up just on the fence (where it’s still not allowed) specifically to take me out of the game because I couldn’t pitch for a while after being exposed.
The number of really entitled and rude smokers have really made it hard to not instantly judge people as bad people based solely on that one fact. Really hard.
I have the same issue and feel the same way
honestly, start putting heavy doses of gunpowder in cigarettes and that'll get people to stop smoking
@@shortangel333 Those things are already full of several hundred substances known to cause cancer, do you really think a little gun powder will stop smokers??
It is forbidden to smoke in covered bus stops where I live. Yet the amount of people who do so anyway is infuriating. Snus is also very common in my country (snus is tobacco you place under the lip) and is also super nasty, but at least it won't spread smoke.
@@limiv5272 it might blow up on them and take them out
A Karen demanded your YT channel? What about that lady that does the Karen voices for you? I thought she already owned it. 🤣
There is no lady who does the voices, he just smacks himself with a board, right in the good ol' family jewels and it raises his voice a few octaves. /s
lmaoooo
I remember that YT story being told on here. Nice to know that the aunt hasn't changed lol
I usually put rslash on while cooking no need to watch just listen. fun to listen to people dealing with a**holes. since my wife works from home she listens along with me.
I bought a little Bluetooth speaker as my phone isn't loud and then I can garden or cook and listen. The fact that Dabney describes any photos is fantastic
That school parking story hits home a bit.
In my neighborhood, there's a school right by one of the only 2 ways in and out if the neighborhood where traffic always wraps around and out of the school lot and halfway up the 5 block long entrance way at pickup time. If you're working or just out for whatever reason, don't expect to be getting in that way without any prolonged stop for 20 minutes just to get to the stop sign. And forget making a upturn because there's usually a few more stragglers that lull up behind you if you've forgotten about school times. It's only a 6-8 block round trip to go in from the other entrance. But it's still a bit of an inconvenience, especially if you end up having to rush things for a family emergency or something.
Also pretty much entirely the fault of school administration. How the hell do they cut buses, meaning everyone who used to ride the bus will now ride in one car each taking about half or so the bus would take, and not expect everything to go terribly? It's an obvious disaster from the very first second the decision was made. 10 buses worth of students were cut!
EM: **Drops all her stuff near OP**
Pea soup: "We do a little trolling."
I had a very similar situation to the first story. Our house was on a street behind both the high and jr high schools of our school district. When we moved in, the area directly behind our house was undeveloped woodland, but perhaps 6 years after we moved in, that land was bought between the school district and a development company. Several acres right behind my house was turned into a couple of baseball diamonds and a new football/track field with bleacher seating. there was *very minimal* parking by the football field only for security, practice coaches and the occasional community use of the track.
At first our neighborhood was ok with this, but the first time there was a home game, it was pandemonium. EVERYONE was trying to park at the field, creating a long train of backed up traffic, and those quick enough took every inch of available street parking on our block. They even blocked driveways. This was very problematic because many of us parked on the street already, so when we came home there was no where to park. Also, the crowds were LOUD, and there was a spike in car break ins, theft and vandalism.
Eventually the school arranged busses to charter visitors from the school to the field, but that did not solve the problem completely. I've since moved, but to my knowledge it's still a rather annoying problem to this day.
Ah yes, who could've thought people would want or need parking next to a public venue that holds events? Ludicrous
I love imagining OP's cousin finding this second post and telling their mom about it. Aunt Karen probably would probably blow her lid when she realizes that there are now two posts online about her being an entitled parent
The way I see it being a smoker myself, I smoke outside because my 15 year old doesn’t smoke, it’s one thing to wreck my lungs it’s another to wreck my child’s
I think Pea Soup Karen owes OP money for the ruined lunch
Had parents in my neighborhood drive to pick up their kids at the bus stop at the start of the subdivision(they moved the stop) they would crowd everyones houses in the front
One person blocked part of our drive and mailbox, my dad had enough and pretended to turn short scaring the karen into thinking she was going to get hit
They moved the drop off back to the place halfway in the subdivision
....
Honestly though, youre kids can walk the few extra feet dont make them lazy
Honestly, the bus sucked anyway. I was fortunate enough to be very close to my school but not in a situation where a bunch of parents would park on my street. I was like two blocks away. Short walk, but the houses right across the street ALWAYS had blocked driveways. I can't imagine how annoying that would be!
@@StoryTimeWithKarenandKevin i went to a small private school that didnt have a bus service so the only time I road on one was to feild trips and sports games
We do like 5miles from the schools they are coming from but the issue only came when they relocated the bus stop from inside the subdivision to the start of the subdivision
So the parents didnt want their kids to have to walk a few extra feet to get home
Once they moved it back to its orginal spot parents stopped sitting in cars entirely like they did prior to the stop relocation
@@BVBGirl-3313 Ah, got ya. I walked to high school, but I also went to a private school with no bus service up until 9th grade. I probably could have walked there too, but my gandma was very controlling and wouldn't let me. So I also only used the bus for field trips too. I really didn't enjoy it. Got bullied and it smelled bad. I was in marching band, so after performances, it would reek, lol.
@@StoryTimeWithKarenandKevin yeah I normally just rode the bus to games and my parents would take me home so luckily I didnt have to deal with post sports stank
...
In elementary I did ride the daycare bus after school but i was the last stop and the daycare was super close to the school so I didnt have much issues but daycare buses are a different breed to school buses so I dont count it
How can you be of sound health and hate walking that much? I'd drop my kid off a few streets away. They can handle a short walk.
As a kid, I PREFERRED walking to school! I got bullied the few times I took the bus.
Five miles is NOT a short walk.
I'm also allergic to cigarette smoke and it is definitely not fun, I'm so glad that o.p. got that under control.
I can no longer watch or listen to these entitledparents, because everytime I get so full of rage. I got no family of myself, but goddamn. these parents shouldn't be allowed to have kids..
I would have pressed charges against the last EM if she tried to get me falsely arrested.
I remember the story about the aunt that demanded OP upload her son's video to his channel. I never thought there'd be a follow up post.
Link?
@@seanshanleyAnimeUWLPer I don't have the link for it. I watched it on CZcams, either this channel or r/Mr Redder, can't remember which, might have been both.
Care to remind me of some details?
@@limiv5272 Basically, like OP said in this video. His Aunt's son had a newer, less popular youtube channel than OP, and she wanted OP to upload her son's videos to his channel to increase the chances of her son's videos being watched, and when OP refused his aunt threw a fit.
"How dare you post about my trashy behavior on Reddit! As compensation, I am gonna act even more trashy!"
Me: it's 100$
Entitled Parent:NO I WANT IT FOR FREE OR I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE POLICE
Hell, I'm a smoker, and I would never smoke in a house where it wasn't wanted. That's just common courtesy.
I think the time is coming when we have to say "enough". These people are sociopaths, entitled children who never grew up, and never learned the meaning of the word "NO". The Karens I know are considerate and kind. It's high time we on from this meme.
Second story: Typical entitled parent logic. "Oh, I screwed up so I'm gonna throw the first person I see under the bus to get compensation."
Y’all know you can wash pea soup off clothes… right??
lol I thought the same thing, I don't think it's that bad
Story 1:
OP I feel bad for you because she wasted two lunches you bought all because she was entitled
My parents had a very similar fight with my dad's side of the family because I have asthma and can't be in clouds of cigarette smoke either, except they wouldn't stop smoking around us so we stopped visiting and they wasn't allowed over, haven't seen or spoken to my dad's side of the family in 25 years
Imagine choosing cigarettes over your own grandkids. You dodged a bullet imo
The wedding story just reminded me that BOTH my husband's mother AND step mother wanted to wear white to the wedding. My mom told both of them (separately, bc of course they each came up with the idea themselves) that they could wear what ever color they wanted, but she wasn't going to stop anyone from telling them they were trashy for wearing white to my wedding. I'm pretty sure all three of my sisters were coming up with comments to make if they did it. They both decided to wear black.
These two women constantly have to be the center of attention. I have TONS of stories about his mom (he and I grew up together and were close friends throughout school) and a handful about his step mom. We seriously considered having security at the wedding because we were so sure that step mom was gonna say something snide to mom and mom was going to start a fight. I found out three years later that it almost DID break down into a fight and my mom and sisters and his sister had to spend pretty much the whole wedding keeping them separated and distracting them from each other. They all knew they were probably going to have to do this anyways.
Regarding the stepmother wearing white to the wedding I would have had one of my bridesmaid accidentally spill red wine on her dress
First story: everyone on the neighboring streets could have “rented” a cop to sit at the entrances of their streets to prevent those parents from entering (they would have to prove via DL that they lived on that street)! Problem solved! Actually, surprised that they weren’t involved in the first place by the neighbors calling it in and especially for the ambulance incident! Also, a nice little lawsuit against the school and school department would have been a nice incentive to do something. School has issues with transportation and parent pickup…not the neighborhood’s monkey or circus.
School, five miles away, really? Everyone else does a mile or more. Actually less for the really young ones like 1/4 to 1/2 mile.
Here’s a couple of suggestions: with the two or three busses, a staggered start time with the oldest ones or grades 2 or 3 grades at a time being picked up and dropped off first then move down to the youngest! Stagger the pickup times for the grades and for those who have multiple kids, have their parent get them when the youngest is at the leaving time.
Story two: even if you didn’t plop the carrier on top of op’s meal, YOU LEFT YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED!!! That alone would have gotten you a “go home” if not have the police called on you about it.
Last story: I'm assuming the kid has an allergy to smoke and I'm glad the parents took it very seriously.
I have a *mild* allergy to smoke, which my parents attempted to pretend did not exist until the day that it got so bad that *my throat swelled up and I fainted due to suffocation.* Thankfully I was only out for a few seconds (I'm assuming) and there appeared to have been no lasting effects to my health (no, they did not take their daughter who stopped breathing to the hospital). My dad had to lift me up from the armpits and carry me out of the venue where the air wasn't thick and clouded with smoke.
I almost wonder if I would've survived had the event taken place with extended family instead of strangers who could yell at and judge my family for watching me flop on the ground like a fish, struggling to breathe, and complain that I needed to stop being overdramatic.
At home sick and listening to my favorite channel 🥰
Aw I hope you get better soon! Hopefully some R/slash can help :]
Get well soon.
Hope you feel better soon!
Hope you will feel better soon
Hope you get better, maybe spin of a wheeled chair can help!
I have the same problem as OP in the first story: less bussing, more kids, and more parents picking up and dropping off their kids and parking along the narrow residential street, blocking traffic. It's been a problem, but nothing has changed since it started a few years ago! I wish parents would carpool, or something! We have elderly on our street. When my Dad was alive (he had Alzheimer' and Diabetes) I shuddered at the thought of what would happen if we needed to call am ambulance between 2 and 4 PM or between 7 and 9 AM because of the potential road blockage! But I did learn one thing: it's legal here for emergency vehicles to "nudge" a car out of the way.
The first story is the EXACT thing that happened at my old neighborhood. People would just park in my driveway, block it, back up the whole street. Adults and kids would play and hang out in my neighbors backyard, without their permission. Children would also destroy property and plants.
I live just around the corner from an elementary school, so I feel the first OP's pain. People who only live a couple of blocks from the school - well within easy walking distance - still drive to pick their kids up. Our street becomes a parking lot every afternoon. The parents are awful, and the school district refuses to do anything to organize the chaos. Those of us on the streets around the school have complained repeatedly, and some have called the police, but our PD is notoriously lazy. There's even been talk of a lawsuit.
My brother was getting boba tea (the restaurant required masks), and then this lady walked in with her family (unmasked) and walked up, straight to my brother and said, “get that stinky diaper of your face and breathe the air god gave us”
I’m still confused on why out of all people in the boba place, she walked up to my brother
I never understood smokers that would endanger their children/grandchildren. They don't see the problem with being so addicted to something they can't go 30 minutes without it.
I thought the bride was going to ask one of her friends to dump redwine on her step mother.
7:24 I surprised you didn't mention the potential child deduction that mother basically consented to
Deduction? Do you mean abduction?
@@limiv5272 damn it autocorrect yeah that's what I meant I'm sorry
I used to live by a high school. I had the school officer on speed dial. I got so so many people ticketed for blocking my driveway.
In the first story I imagine the neighborhood simply could of gone after the school district given how many problems they were causing without trying to relieve the issue by either rezoning, expanding the school itself, or re hiring buses. Seems like negligence honestly, especially when they already got in trouble for barring an ambulance from being able to reach an emergency due to the back flow of cars. Hopefully they've shaped up in recent years, yet knowing how these stories go I can only imagine their still doing the same thing.
Story 2: This is only really related because I worked retail for 10 years and dealt with untold thousands of women (and managers) like this woman. My first job I had after I moved out was at Macy's, it was a crappy job and that was a whole story in itself, but how bad Macy's was literally started on my first day. I got hired on as seasonal help for the holidays and we were doing an early Black Friday sale. There was a line going out the door, tons of salesmen and people running around, and they have me on the cash register ringing people out. I remember this blonde woman, karen haircut and the Paramilitary Shopping Turtleneck rushes through the transaction, yells at me for trying to follow the cashier script for promotions, and then angrily drags her mess of shopping bags forcing through people and out the door. I still was a retail veteran at this point, seen a hundred like her so i didnt care. Roughly an hour later I come back from using the bathroom, and theres Karen, all of her shopping bags, with all three of my managers standing at my register.
Before I can even ask whats going on Karen yells at me, "WELL ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE IT BACK?!"
Me: "What's going on? Give what back?"
Karen: "YOU never gave ME my CREDIT CARD BACK."
Me: "Ma'am im sorry, I didn't take your credit card, you can check my pockets, my register, look at cameras, I promise you I didn't take it."
Karen: "Are you saying im lying?!"
Me: "No, I just have no idea where your card is and I didnt take it."
At this point, my managers ask me to turn out my pockets, they start moving everything around my register looking for a card, when I remembered in the past some crap my dad has done and I tell the Karen,
Me: "You know sometimes I've seen people be in such a rush they put their money or credit cards in their bags by accident and think they lost them."
Karen gives me this smug and bitchy look like im an idiot, and then without breaking eye contact shoves her hand in her bag to mock me like an idiot, like HURR HURR ITS NOT IN HERE STUPID, NICE TRY YOU THIEF, when I see that stupid ass look immediately vanish from her face when we both realized shes found something.
Lo and behold, she put her fuckin card in her shopping bag and was too stupid to check anything before coming into the store to call me a thief. All of my managers look at her when one finally says "Well... so....?" She just does a 180* turn and leaves without saying a single word. No sorry, no oh jeez, nothing. Fuck that lady. (Also fuck Macy's xD)
On Wednesdays and Sundays, we have to deal with blocked driveways we can hardly get into ours because everyone likes to park on the side and it makes it hard to get through
And the smoking story sounds like how I get effected by smoking. I get choked up easily even with small bits of smoke
Right off the bat with that first story is something which happens in the village I've grown up and still live in and gets me riled up every time.
When I was at the primary school, there was heaps of notices given out at the end of the school day telling parents not to park on the street where the school is and to encourage those living in the village or in walking distance to walk to school. That was in the 90's, now its an absolute circus on the main road through the village, which has a bottle neck passing the school and streets that come off from school's street. I made the mistake to drive up the village on the main road once instead of another route, not only was the road busy, but almost had one car pull out into me and another very close drive into the side of me soon after as they were pulling out from the school's street.
Had a laugh though not long ago with the lollypop lady who sees this nonsense everyday, when the main road was a stand still for a good stretch of the road because the bottle neck had been blocked and traffic gathered at both ends. There was a lot of angry people in a rush to be places and there's the two of us with me out with the doggos laughing because most of the parents in that jam live not even 5 minutes walk from the school.
Me: **casually watches this video while eating a cucumber**
My cat: **steals my cucumber and eats it himself**
It’s almost funny how that last MIL wanted to see her grandchildren so badly but didn’t care about harming her grandchild with her allergy.
i was also a kid that had breathing issues around smokers. (Back in the 60s/70s.) my dad was a smoker. As soon as the Dr told them that my breathing issues were due to being around second hand smoke he quit, cold turkey. Love you, Dad!
I think my step mom would try to pull some BS like that at my wedding too. I ain’t even engaged yet and she’s not allowed to come
damn
My parents smoked heavily in our house and car but never did in other people's houses. It always angered me that they did this to our stuff but respected our friends or other family more to not smoke around them even when my siblings and I asked them to not smoke around us. I still refuse to visit them or ride in a car with them as they've never stopped smoking.
1st story is classic EP behavior. Back in the day my parents old house was on a street with a large medical building at one end of it. This street is directly connected to one of the main streets in the city so there is always traffic on their street. Parking is allowed only on 1 side. In the winter the street gets a bit narrower with the snowbanks creeping out from ppls driveways. Sometimes during the day when ppl are working or going to appointments at the medical building there are so many cars parked on the street its down to just one lane. My parent's house had one of the bigger yard on the street. We had 2 driveways. One on either side of the house. One winter we had a huge snowfall, like 3-4 feet in 1 day. Now down at the medical building parking is limited, maybe 30-40 spots. Most are taken up by ppl who work there so most ppl with appointments just park on the side streets. One day this EP decides he is going to completely block one of our driveways. You can clearly see where the ditches are and that there culvert between the where our 2nd driveway is, I am out using the snowblower and I am about 1/4 of the way done when the EP parks across the driveway and his wife and kid get out and start to walk down the street to the medical building. He stood outside his car having a smoke. I walked closer to him and told he can't park there, its a driveway. He just stared at me and and said I dont see any tire tracks. I replied thats cuz it just snowed genius. He started to cuss me out..mouthy kid etc... after that he finished his smoke and walk down the street to the med. building. So I proceeded to dump almost a whole driveway's worth of snow on his car. Covered the hood, roof, trunk. Then I went and got the garden hose and sprayed the whole car for about 10 min. Finally when I was done I left a note on his car to have it moved before 4:30 when my dad got home or it would be towed. Dad came home in the work truck..a tow truck. buh bye car. An hour later the guy is pounding on the door, just flings it open and tells the guy to F-off and that his car is at the impound yard. Best time I ever had clearing the driveways.
Experience shows that making verbal demands while the police are there generally does work. OP's say whatever they have to and then go right back to doing what they promised they wouldn't. Press charges next time.
Aunt: delete your CZcams and Reddit
Op: Hmm…nah, I think I’ll keep it
OP in the last story has the right idea. NEVER open your door to polics unless they can show you a warrant. And if they push the issue, tell them to go get a warrant.
2nd story the worst part of it is that she threw away the mc chicken
Stepmom Wears White to a Wedding: I have to say, I'm very impressed this didn't go the bridezilla route. It's like she knew it wasn't going to be perfect, but it was still a happy day no matter what. She didn't let anything ruin it or her emotions get the better of her. Then she spoke her mind to the rude guest and gave her stepmom the options.
the last story hits bc my mother in law smokes and refuses to spend time with her grandkids because of it. even when the kids are begging her to play with them, she will push them off of her and go to smoke. now shes offended that they dont want to interact with her anymore
My grandma did that to my mom with the white dress. Except it also had a very very generous v neck that went down to belly and was in shape of a heart. When my aunts got married they firmly set boundaries to not have that happen to them. She stills acts as if nothing was wrong
Creaky Blinder, Telltale and Viced Rhino
cover Entitled Parents all the time.
Argh, that first story is so ffing relatable. My parents have lived right next to an elementary school for as long as I can remember, probably even from before I was born (not sure). This particular school is linked to a specific christian denomination which doesn't have a lot of school in the region and as such, children from that denomination come from miles around to that school, often in taxis or brought by their parents. I can't count the number of times when my parents' driveway has been blocked by taxi drivers and/or parents waiting to pick up their kids. Most of the time they will grudgingly move their car when my parents just happen to need to get out of their driveway, but there are still plenty of cases where they'll simply be told "I'll be gone in 15 minutes, surely you can wait that long".... police won't do jack about it unfortunately and talking to the school about it only ever helped for a week or something. The stupid bit is, several years back the specific denomination built a church right behind the school with ample parking space. They also added a gate from the schoolyard unto that parking lot so that they can easily get from the church to the school and vice versa. There is absolutely nothing that would stop them from just using that parking lot to drop off kids or to wait for them. But noooooo, that is a parking lot for church, not for the school, so nooooo, they could never use that... even though it is always friggin' empty during dismissal times....
Hm..pea soup sounds a lot better coming from a bowl than the mouth of a 12 year old pazuzu
Edit: my apologies if i spelled it wrong lol
With the smoking one, I’d just have a couple high ish power water guns, every time someone tries to smoke just spray them and the cigarette until they learn to stop
It makes me laugh when people say "That was a private conversation! Why would you post about that?!" Um, maybe because I was part of the conversation, so I have every right to talk about it with other people if I want to. Unless there's some confidentiality agreement between the parties, or you're divulging secrets you promised to keep you're allowed to discuss any conversation you had with whomever you please. If telling others about our conversation is going to make you look bad, maybe you should learn how to keep your big mouth shut and your entitlement in check lol.
I can not believe we got a sequel to the entitled aunt story. Not that we needed it, but a welcome one for sure.
My dog was abused by a smoker as a puppy and as a result now is scared of people who smell like smoke. He will be sweet but as soon as he smells smoke on someone he starts growling and barking and can be quite scary. At least I know with him around my kids are safe from secondhand smoke.
In the pea soup story I think I would be at the point of hangry to go to the boss' office and tell him straight away about what happened especially if EM is in there with the boss. Something along the lines of "Hey boss, sorry to interrupt I just wanted to inform you that woman dumped her bags and baby carrier on my lunch and left it unattended"
Tho I'd probably be very impatient to EM BS in that state of mind
I kinda like the offshoot crazy entitled relative stories. Aunts, uncles, cousins... Love em!
On the wedding story... I'm a male, and unless stated otherwise in the invitation I'd never wear white at a wedding, just in case. I have no idea if the rule about wearing white applies only to ladies or not, but I prefer be safe than sorry.
My mother is a heavy smoker and thinks she's entitled to smoke anywhere and it pisses me off. I had to pick her up from the airport when she flew in for my wedding, and I told her MONTHS beforehand "You are not smoking in my car." She whined and fussed about having to go a whole half hour after getting off the plane without a cigarette. Whatever.
I reminded her as we got closer to the wedding that she was not, under any circumstances, allowed to smoke in my car, no matter what. She threw an absolute FIT, saying it wasn't fair to expect her to go an entire plane ride and then an entire car ride to the hotel without smoking. I told her I didn't care, and if she tried to smoke in my car, I'd leave her at the airport. This turned into a multi-day fight that I finally ended by telling her my fiancee was allergic to secondhand smoke (she was and is).
Mom: Oh why didn't you say THAT? Of course I won't smoke in the car
Me: Because it's MY CAR and I shouldn't have to tell you to have basic respect for MY PROPERTY
(Note, the car is ENTIRELY in my name, she's never helped me pay for anything, so she can't even say she's a co-signer or whatever)
We still had to stand outside at ten p.m. the night before my wedding in the middle of the DFW airport parking garage so she could smoke her precious cigarette. smdh I hate smokers
Yeah, no way am I going to be polite when someone waltz into my home smoking a cancer stick. That is absolutely disgusting.
so the entitled mother ruined that OPs lunch not once but TWICE and to top that off she left her baby ALONE 🤦♀🤦♀
I'm so happy about that last story. A lot of my family are awful smokers, and me with my asthma is so awful because you're hit with the smell as soon as you walk into their house. My aunt smokes in my mom's car, and since she sits up front it often goes straight on me. Oh, and she never smokes just one cigarette. It's gotta be like three. Long car rides are awful. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and my aunt, but my parents (mainly my mom, my dad doesn't like to visit her family) didn't really do much to prevent them from smoking around me. I've tried to talk to my aunt politely about smoking in the car before, when I was a teenager, and my mom pulled me aside and lectured me because that was apparently a rude thing to do. So now I just have to roll down my window and bring masks whenever we go to visit.
First story: all the parents come with there cars and crowding the streets.
My high school when it lets out: flooding the side walk with so many students you’d think it was a protest if they had big cardboard signs
And she didn't even leave to a complain to the manager, she didn't even notice the pea soup initially. She dropped her baby and left to chat, went back, noticed the mess and left her baby a second time to go complain. Also, I've heard this story before...which is confusing cause I can't remember if you told it and this is a repeat, or it was someone else.
As a kid growing up allergic to nicotine I wish my parents stopped people smoking around me
