The shadowing husband story sounds like the women accidentally married a stalker
It gets even worse when you realize she was 19 when they got married and he was 24 😵💫😵💫😵💫
@@soratsuki3035 AHHH I didn’t catch that part 😬
Sounds like she married Joe Goldberg..
@@soratsuki3035THIS. Came here to say "actually that GIRL married a GROWN stalker." It's squeezed into the first sentence and easy to miss.
@@soratsuki3035 I would personally date 19 yo, but not to marry
The shadowing husband is a stalker. The fact that he got MAD that he couldn't copy his wife is psychotic. She needs to divorce him NOW.
The best time to divorce that man is 20 years ago, the next best time is now
Yeah… very scary I would be scared to divorce him. Who knows what he is capable of doing. “If I can’t have have her no one can” vibes
Sounded like a season plot from tbh
They married when she was 19 and he was 24 🧍♀️
That’s absolutely a behavior of someone who ends up in the news for killing their spouse and wearing their skin.
I'm really surprised the husband stalker story didn't get more of a reaction. That sounds like emotional abuse; he refuses to let her have her own space. The mental stress of that sort of thing is immense.
💯 husband is abusive and controlling, and the way he reacts to her setting boundaries is such a red flag. I hope she can get away from him safely.
They also married when she was 19 and he was 24
I don't think they even registered a story as abusive one, which is really strange... The age difference alone should be alarming, and the stalking? Insane shit...
@@cardboard2nighti think a lot of people struggle to define abuse, that’s why. In reality abuse is pretty simple - it’s an effort to take and to maintain control over someone’s life. Sometimes ppl behave in controlling ways because nobody is perfect and it stems from insecurity, but if it happens punctionally and there’s an effort to corre t this behavior it’s not a huge deal. But sustained struggle for control is abuse. Op’s husband is abusive and she doesn’t even realise that.
Yeah her husband definitely has some issues (almost seems like he's a narcissist). Then checkers chick compared it to brother & sister, WTF. Also I don't see a problem with 5 year age difference not like it was with my parents as my mother was 19 & my dad 30 when they started dating which is just nuts. I mean I'm 4yrs older than my fiance I don't see the issue sometimes just sometimes you don't find someone exactly your age that you're meant to be with & if it's within 5yrs age difference I don't see a issue. As a 19yr old female I know 19yr old male was not it, very immature, lol. I'm in my 40s & have been through so much it could be a Jerry springer episode with what my p.o.s. exs but my road lead me to my fiance & I wouldn't have it any other way.
"I thought it was for the whole office to share"
So, of course, I ate the whole thing.
American logic
*Shane's gross hurried eating noises*
@@Pallamutit’s simply the natural order of things, if you gotta eat you gotta eat
@@Pallamutbro, if something was for the whole office in an American office, it'd be even worse because then it'd be like party size stuff that someone just inhaled all of. Even if it's an office with 10 people, that's still getting a good party-sized thing for everyone. So, still a douchy thing for her to do.
Imagine trying to actually fire someone you hired exclusively for the purpose of being fired.
“So…uh…you’ll have a lot of experience with the conversation we’re about to have here…”
I kind want that job 😂
That’s Amazon for ya
@@atthepartycheers "Haha! Good one Steve! This was your best firing yet. It felt real. Anyway, see you tomorrow." 😁
Imma start a new business and call it the "Fire Squad" and I hire people to firms to be fired for Karen's content.
She married her stalker. If she had broken up with him or divorced him cleanly before they had kids I have no doubt that he would be doing this still. I’m getting “nothing is closer than wearing your skin” vibes.
I was more getting a co-dependent vibe. Codependency sometimes comes up in couples where one person does everything and the other has learned helplessness. (Ex. A partner who won’t plan any dates or know anything about the kids medical/school info).
Each partner thinks they have no control over their role so it’s hard to get out of. Especially it you haven’t had to find a job of your own for 20 years, it’s gonna feel scary to try to find one on your own now. (Not to say that he shouldn’t, but it’s like a codependent thing that keeps them stuck. I mean, OP didn’t even mention discussing with him how she doesn’t like it)
Lol where did you hear that quote?
@@EmyN from themselves 💀💀
@@mintyhippo8125 yeah but what codependent person follows their partner to EVERY job? gets a degree just to follow them? my theory is that he may have bpd + abandonment issues (hence codependency), though it certainly does not excuse his actual insane behavior as u know. regardless of whats going on in his mind, hes a stalker and needs to stop. i can easily see him becoming violent if op continues to "ignore" him, not ask if he can follow her in whatever way to her jobs, didnt want to be intimate/be any sort of affectionate, or if she divorced him
if op really wanted to help while married or divorced to him, she does need to communicate everything she feels, make him get his own job, and send him to therapy
7:10 that’s what I always say lol. Like a month during the season.
The story about the husband following his wife from job to job for 20 years is TERRIFYING to me. What are the odds that this guy is just naturally skilled at all the exact same things as her to the extent that he could succeed in being accepted by all the same employers and degree programs for that long? Pretty low. That makes me think that in addition to controlling, he's really good at convincing people to let him do things they wouldn't otherwise let him do, like the way he convinced the principal to allow an untrained, strange man in the classroom full of kids in order to shadow his wife(!!!). I hope the response to this letter was a wakeup call for OP and she gets out but it seems likely that even if she leaves the relationship, she'll continue to have a stalker.
seriously! sounds like real psycho behaviour
Considering how he blows up when she tries to set a boundary? If he thinks shes leaving he seems like the type to unalive her and the kids.
She is an object not a person to him. No one else is allowed to play his his toy (he took over her museum tours where other people were able to talk to her and get her full attention).
"We face timed a sheep with a crazy name, like Daisy" "Yeah..that's a crazy name." 😭😂 12:21
Yeah, I came to the comments to be like “how is Daisy a crazy name for a sheep?” Lol 😂
@@sierrawilkinson daisy is like the perfect name for a sheep😂
There should honestly be an audio version of these on iTunes
It’s the fact that the joke was ignored by both 🤣 I would’ve laughed
@@joshuarobinson898 there is! Check in the description
The story about the husband shadowing her at work .... OP, YOUR HUSBAND IS EITHER DANGEROUSLY OBSESSED OR HE DOESN'T TRUST YOU TO BE OUT OF HIS SIGHT. Either way? Girl, you in danger. Being followed from school to school, office to office ... that's not normal, that's not romantic, that's not loving behavior. The husband either has no sense of himself outside of who he's partnered with or he hates not having control over and access to the wife at all times. I know this is Smosh, they tried to keep things light, but please: RUN. They have kids together so it'll probably be impossible to cut him out completely, but she needs to leave.
especially when he _gets angry at her_ when she attempts to set a boundary!
@@aud7593 Exactly!! The multiple instances she noted of him blowing up at her, flying off the handle were tough to hear, that's literally verbal abuse. This stuff only escalates, so the fact that he's overstepped her boundaries so many times is worrying.
Its worst when you do the math she was 19yrs old and he was 24yrs old when they MARRIED!!!
@@jessbeingme8155 and even worse when you realize she was 13 when he was 18 🤮
I agree, though I did wonder if it could be crippling separation anxiety. That’s not an excuse, but it could be an explanation
Story 2 is not little brother energy, it's overbearing, crazy stalker energy that she has been conditioned to accept for TWENTY years. I'm nervous for when she puts her foot down & tries to enforce a boundary
I think the boyfriend has serious co-dependency and controlling issues. Hope they really go to therapy.
my first thought too. Sarah nailed it when she mentioned that theres a lack of sense of self...
@rainestar82 that's okay if both people in the relationship are okay with always being close but it's clearly not the case in that story lol
see that + his actions just kinda remind me of the symptoms of BPD. not trying to be an armchair psychologist, but i think it'd be worth it for op and her husband to have him seek diagnosis. @@rainestar82
I would seriously be scared to divorce him. He doesn't seem right.
Please, please do an "Updates" episode where you go back over previous stories and read the updates that have been added since the original reading. Would be awesome! Love SMOSH!
Yes 👏
Fr I've been wanting them to do that, ofc it depends on enough stories having interesting updates so I'll bet they're just waiting for more updates before filming an episode like that
Fr, I need to know if so many people in the stories got away safe :)
I'd also like for them to read out the youtube comments from their episodes, since the commenters often have insights that they sometimes don't.
Congrats from the future!
I was engaged to a guy that acted sort of like the guy in the second story. It is 100% a control thing. He would leave his job and come sit right outside of the door of my job to watch me. The store/coffee shop front was solid glass and I could see him watching me for hours. I finally (after weeks) had a friend (huge guy) go out and pretend to be security to tell him to leave. A few months later he snapped and put his hands on me and bruised my face- it was over immediately. Control was absolutely his motivator for all of his actions.
why were you engaged to this guy lmao wtf
@@highdefinition450 why not ask them "why did you go on a second date with this guy lmao wtf"? It's the same answer: we never know what someone is capable of and relationships require trust that each partner has the other's best interests at heart. It's impossible to know whether someone will abuse that trust, we can only trust that they won't. It's frankly disrespectful to criticize how long they were in the relationship when relationship dynamics change all the time. People change.
And once you're in an abusive relationship, imagine trying to plan an escape when the partner is actively monitoring your travel, work, laptop, phone, friendships, habits, etc. And add onto that trying to do so if you have a shared mortgage, bank account, CHILDREN. After being attacked again and again and again by someone so close to you, your entire outlook fundamentally changes in ways you can't even imagine.
It is an immense feat of strength, independence, and determination whenever someone is able to leave an abusive relationship. That feat deserves respect.

@@RokkTheRock you’re right. My bad
@@highdefinition450people change, may it be days and can even be overnight. There will always be people who will abuse their partners trust till they think they can control them their whole life.

Never EVER touch someone else's food. That is so entitled thinking you can just eat food that isn't yours. I had a coworker who wouldn't stop taking my lunch, and I have hypoglycemia, so I would end up having to either go home (losing money) or ask another coworker for something to eat. I would constantly ask them to stop, and they only stopped when I told my manager I would quit if nothing changed. DON'T TAKE PEOPLES FOOD
thats fucking sick to take someones food if they NEED it smh
@@kaitlynmorgan4613 It's sick to take someone's food full stop...the way you worded this makes it sound like you're the type to take people's food...
I’ve got a ton of food allergies and intolerances and I’m on a very low amount of food stamps (f-the government constantly lowering EBT by the COLA as though that money doesn’t go directly to rent) so if someone took my food without permission I would lose my shit and probably get fired for screaming at them in front of everyone.
@@islagurney3272 Well it depends what relationship you have with people, like family etc..
@@eol251
No it does not. Not among adults, anyway.
A coworker & I bought a rotisserie chicken. We ate 1/2 for lunch, & put half in fridge with our names on it. Next day, went to get lunch, carcass was there, but all meat was gone. To me, that seemed extra rude, leaving an empty carcass.
What's wrong with that person, do they really think you want the carcass, so rude. Bet they were just lazy and didn't want to clean up.
Why is no one talking about the ages in the shadowing husband story. She’s 39, they have been married for 20 years. SO they got married when she was 19 and he was 24, not to mention how long they were dating. All his behavior tracks.
exactlyyyyyyy
As soon as they said "married for 20 years" I was doing the math in my head and thinking about that... I mean, ok, I guess 19 is an adult but... unless they married reeeeeeally quickly... That's fishy. And 6 years of age difference is not that much for someone older, but at that age is way different.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!! THANK YOU, it was so weird and not only the age gap but the fact that they got married when their brains weren’t fully developed, like of course your husband is gonna be immature and clingy, you guys got married so young!!
19 is an adult, that doesn't matter. Women mature mentally and physically 3 years ahead of men. So him being a 24 year old isn't weird. Y'all are the weird ones trying to dig at that. My dad and stepmom are 13 years apart, and they started dating when she was 21 and she's a boss and their age never been an issue. They're both adults. The only thing that is a red flag is the fact how clingy the OPs man is.
I was thinking this the whole story!! The maturity difference they must’ve had when they were dating and married is insane
Great to have Sarah back! In regards to the shadowing husband, If they've been married for 20 years it means she was 19 when she got married (& he was 24) so she's now been married longer than she wasn't. Their marriage started quite young & she may not have had many partners before her husband (if any) & doesn't realize how controlling this type of behaviour really is.
and if they got married at 19 and 24, they probably got engaged at 18 and 23, and started dating at.....?????
@@janepetroff9250OMFG I hadn't even made that math yet 👀👀👀 that's so sick 🤢🤢
Idk about 20 yrs ago but most engagements are relatively quick after dating, sure the ppl.who take there time still exist but 9/10 weddings they've known each other a year
Atp it’s a common theme. Any story I see on Reddit with a controlling male partner almost ALWAYS without fail has an age gap where they started dating when the woman was below 21. A grown dude going for younger women/girls is most likely a creep.

With the breast pump thing I honestly wouldn't even bat an eye, it's a perfectly natural thing to do, it's all about the comfort level of the person doing the pumping tbh!
Yes, it's a shame she had to turn on her camera when she initially didn't want to.
But if she decides she wants to have the camera turned on in the future anyway, it should not be a big deal.
The only exception would be sound, as she said that it also makes noise. So only turning on the mic when she has to say something.
@@Tessa_Gr Yeah, but I feel like keeping the mic muted when you aren't talking is common courtesy anyway. The breast pump is entirely coincidental.
Exactly what I started to say, my sister is an RN at a hospital and talks about how convenient it is for women to able to pump while they work and not have to wait until their break. Honestly, no one finds it uncomfortable or "weird" it's just something that needs to happen.
I knew woman who followed her son to college every day and knitted in the cafeteria. He dropped out of school and works retail now. She legit ruined his life
For the work co-dependency story, OP said they're 39 and the husband is 44, and they've been together 20 years. They got together when OP was 19 and the husband was 24. I'm getting the impression the guy has been predatory and controlling a lot longer than perhaps OP realises.
Hmm, good point. That agegap is not necessarily problematic (the 19 year old could have lived alone and had worked since high school and the 24 year old still at home in college so the life experience could line up) but it does make it more likely that some kind of power-imbalance is involved!
And when you think about the fact that most people date for 1-2 years at least before getting married so we could be getting into some preying on minors territory.
@@Ginger_Cocoexactly. Married 20 years, together LONGER.
I really, really think 19 and 24 is not even close to problematic. If it was, say, 18 and 25/26 I'd say it would be weird, but we don't need to make such a fuss about adults 5 years apart from each other.
@wumbojet It's not necessarily problematic, just the odds of it being problematic are higher (or lower...? more likely is what I'm trying to say!).
i'm pretty sure the breast pump story also falls under gender discrimination (depending on what country/state she's in). if you just had a baby you need time to pump, not having that time means you can sue the company
It's honestly crazy you can get a break just to smoke a cigarette, no questions asked, but if you have to do something like take medication or pump like OP you'd have to disclose that to your boss and pray they agree.
It's only discrimination if they let somebody else have their camera off for some other unrelated reason. Making everyone follow the same rule no matter what (all cameras must always be on, no exceptions) is actually the opposite of discrimination lol; it's holding everyone to the same standard. Still ridiculously foolish and wrong in this case, but far from discrimination
@GabenZeph If something can turn into a medical emergency if you don't take the necessary precautions I would say it is, in fact, a necessity. I'd rather wait five minutes than have someone end up in the hospital with an infection or a blocked milk duct and miss their shift entirely. Frankly, I'm not quite sure why you're bringing up "postponing meetings" when all she asked for was keeping her camera off. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes ☺️
It also falls under reasonable accommodation.
@GabenZeph you sound like the kind of person that thinks people can just hold in their periods when it’s convenient for them…
I work in HR and we had to put up two cameras directed to the communal fridge… lunch theft is REAL!!
I use to have my food taken all the time didn't know who, got fed up reported it to security while he was eating he was writing a report when I noticed the container he was eating out of had my last name on it and was infact my food. Like why?
Is it some kinda like rush for people
So I work at a job where security is a huge thing and we all have extensive background checks etc, and we have never in the twenty years I’ve worked there and in the time my older coworkers have been there had someone steal so much as a bottle of water. I think it makes a huge difference when you have random people versus trustworthy employees. Like people may act honest but are they really?
My first restaurant job was while I was in University... I accidentally spilled hot soup on a lady, and I was about to break down in tears, because it was my FIRST DAY. She was really nice about it, and left me a tip that equaled the price of her whole meal. She told me not to worry about it, everyone has bad days... I thought I was gonna have a Karen situation because it was HOT SOUP, but she was so pleasant and kind. She will always be my favorite customer. I cleaned up the table, floor and chair she was sitting in, I got her so much paper towel from the washroom to clean herself up. She was not hurt, and like I said, she was so understanding... I never spilled soup again, but I don't work there anymore because the kitchen staff were a nightmare.
There's a huge difference between a helpful mom and an overbearing mom. A few years ago, when I was 28, she had to help me set up doctors appointments and lawyers but only because the accident I was in gave me anxiety and a loss of independence. But it didn't last forever. I hope that 19 year old gets to live his life soon.
This! As someone who as an adult have had help from my parents for many reasons in contact with different government and doctor things, there is a huge difference with that and what it sounds like that mother is doing. A helpful parent follows the lead of the kid, she was clearly bulldozing.
You said it yourself: (unfortunate) loss of independence!
Based on the post, the boy never constructed his independence to begin with, and the worst is that the overbearing mom seems to be the one responsible for such a thing
my mom, im 19, will help me with resumes, taxes ect and will NOT interfere beyond that with my job and money, she comes to visit me here but its a chain gas station lmao
Yes, helpful parents will just help their children when they need it and, importantly, want to be helped.
Because I live with my parents, they're just physically often there when I need help so if I need some advice, I ask for their opinion.
But we have healthy boundaries. I ask for their opinion on an e-mail I want to write but they'd never even think about dictating what I write, only giving their own opinions. And of course they'd never write one in my place.

McDonalds didnt get sued for "their coffee being too hot", they got sued to pay the hospital bill for a woman who needed skin grafts and hospitalization for months because of her third degree burns.
They didn't want to pay, and the woman never asked for anything more than to be made whole, but the judges decided that gross negligence on the companys part deserved repercussions. McDonald's had had issues reported about scalding coffee for a long time at this point, and this lawsuit is what made them actually change the temperatures of their coffee.
For the “mom interview” one, let it be known that there’s a difference between needing an advocate and someone pushing their way into your life.
I understand what Sarah says about mandatory customer service jobs, but in reality that doesn't pan out. Some of the worst most obnoxious customers you will ever have are the ones who think their past experience in a similar job makes them an expert on what they think you are doing wrong. Assholes will be assholes either way.
At the job were I work now as a waiter, I know exactly what you mean. Had a table of two older people, 70ish. They went until they were cashing out to voice their grievances, and none of it really had anything to do me but it didn't stop em from cussing me out about another servers section, the music, the temperature of the building the menu. Then she wanted to go on about her coluniary degree and how she was a better person then me and she knew it. Not a better server just a better person. I didn't really react much and it made her even more mad. Store manager banned her
Another thing is that “customer service job” experiences are not exclusive to jobs people think about usually, i.e retail and food. I have worked as a caretaker at a boarding kennel and a seasonal gardener at a botanical garden. I have encountered unruly customers in both. You are going to deal with people and customers in almost every job, they aren’t exclusive to what we traditionally see as customer service
when someone tells you "omg i used to do this too!" then turns around and gives you a $0 tip 🧍
@@skippykay599dealt with it when I worked at a daycare, when I worked at an assisted living facility, and when I worked lowes (from other employees believe it or not). If you work with human beings you’re gonna deal with customer service because everyone thinks they’re entitled to their problem being solved immediately and exactly how they expected it to be solved.
For the story about giving the coworker a ride, I think OP had every right to sort of be petty towards the girlfriend, because she had the audacity to say "my boyfriend said you need to give him $20" knowing full well that OP had been doing her a HUGE favor for such a long time. Like she didn't even acknowledge any of that. Even if her boyfriend was the one who asked, she should have said "Hey OP, my boyfriend is asking for $20 which I know is ridiculous because you've done so much for me and I'm grateful, so I told him no." or "I'll pay it for you and we can just say it came from you" or literally anything else. It's just so disrespectful so I 100% understand why OP did what they did.
Yeah, it's not really petty either. It's just realizing these rides are worth something more than just doing a favor for someone. The whole take they had was a little odd to me saying OP should have said it was because of the boyfriend, but if he's a volatile sort that could cause more problems.
It's the fact that she's not standing up for OP, and just laying down and letting her BF disrespect him?
came down here to say pretty much this lol. op isnt talking to the bf directly, the gf is relaying the message back and forth, which means the conversation is also not live i.e. she could have talked with her bf and been like hey look hes been driving me to work for over a year and hasnt asked for money once and its just for a couple days can you just do me a favor and do it for free, or pay for him, or just being like hey my bf is being ridiculous sorry ill just give him the 20 and say its from you dont worry about it, or really just doing anything at all lol. op is not the asshole, and its not really petty either. if she isn't even willing to talk to her bf about it or cover the 20 after a year of free rides then clearly the favor is not appreciated
Yeah just wanted to add that it is absolutely not petty to show people the consequences of their actions. Too many people make that assumption. It would be petty to pay the $20 on pennies, for example.
Yeah, I totally agree. OP wasn't petty, he was just standing up for himself. And if his coworker was totally unable to stop her boyfriend from demanding the money, she should have covered the cost. It's a low price to pay in the long run
As someone who sees survivors for domestic abuse on the daily, I bet that girlfriend would not have been able to facilitate any communication with her coworker and boyfriend. Based on the friends saying she has no say at home, sounds like the boyfriend is controlling her and this whole carpool situation was another way to isolate her.
For the first story, not only do I think OP is NTA, I think MORE people should start doing this! On the one hand, they are (as already mentioned) teaching people who are being unnecessarily cruel/hostile that their actions have consequences, AND - this stuff actually happens! I have friends who have been fired because of douchebag customers. Legend stuff from OP!
I was thinking this too 😂 they don’t even have to go over the top with it I think just being like your fired and then showing tears in shock would work just fine 😂 I dont see any way they ata.
Sarah's duck earrings bring me so much joy
Lol, fr, I was not able to concentrate for most of the first 20 mins of the video because I was trying to pay attention to see if her right earring was also a duck. They're great!!
Ngl I wanna know if they skweak
SARAH WHITTLE!!!!!!!!! girl let me make dinner and come back. this is everything!!!
update: my chicken noodles are looking great and im ready to dig in
Why did she leave again? I didnt even realize she left!
@@Dakarai_Knight she explains it in the smosh cast episode "why Sarah is leaving smosh" but in summery, she wanted to move to another city and have a different type of job. she said the job was an amazing opportunity for her!
As I was reading this I thought you were implying Sarah had given you permission to eat dinner 😂
@@ThatGreyGentleman that is so funny but also no far from the truth since i only remembered to have dinner after getting the notif 😂
@@milkteamarwa Ohhhh. That makes sense
1:05:36 I’m not even done with it but the Super Bowl story is PHENOMENAL. Hats off to OP & the gifting client
But the dickhead client still got off easy in my opinion. The dream of seeing your team in a major final is a once in a lifetime moment. That was douchey of the highest order.
Growing up kinda poor around mostly 6-7 figure household kids, I can feel where the traveling story guy is coming from. Its frustrating, but at the end of the day it’s better to have rich friends than enemies I learned lol.
In my opinion he’s nta his co workers pried the info out of him and he was honest people lose the right to get mad at op when they push the topic further
@@DianneMaisonet I agree, my point however is that sometimes it’s better to keep better social standing than to take the personal win. Though I do love that he went off on him lol
I've had well-traveled friends and some were super down to earth and cool, and others were pretentious and humble-braggy. It truly depends on the person.
Can I just say, Courtney’s outfits have always looked great to me but lately she has been slaying more than ever. Every new Smosh era she looks better and better ❤
The shorter hairstyle looks excellent
Courtney uses they/them pronouns :)
@@nietzopaniquen court actually uses any! she previously went by she/they
Yeah I noticed she’s slaying in this episode. Love the hairstyle too
Whatever their preferred pronouns, they slay 💪🏻
There is no Saturday evening without Smosh Storytime with Papa Shanaya.
Shanaya Train
That needs to be on a shirt... storytime with papa shayne and he sitting there in a chair in the background with a iPad 😂
The mom is ruining her son's chances at being a grown adult. Part of letting your kids grow up is letting him handle thier own business
Yep. That's why she was mad too. She's probably never been told so directly that SHE'S the problem. I feel like anyone who can helicopter parent to THAT extent has some other delusions they're on and can easily blame literally anything else than themselves for why their adult child is struggling. OP broke that delusion for her, so now she's butthurt. I hope the kid took it to heart and learns to find his own way. It's really hard with controlling parents.
"I thought it was the whole office to share, so I ate all of it myself C:"
Using another co-workers work laptop is INSANE if not illegal.
It wasn't even a work laptop OP said that it was a personal laptop which is insane. I don't even use my boyfriend's phone so I can't imagine taking and using a coworkers laptop
Courtney’s new hair is so good. It frames their face so well
Is Courtney non-binary?
@@jackiemau4372no she refer as She,Her LOL
@@jackiemau4372 I don't think Courtney has specifically talked about their identity, but she uses she/her and they/them pronouns (was previously in her bio, has since been removed)! Also, I notice in their skits they usually play male characters more often, which doesn't really say anything about gender identity, but might indicate that she's more comfy being seen as masculine while still presenting relatively fem. That's just something I've noticed as a long-time viewer though and is pure speculation, so please take with a handful of salt lol. :)
Her face lmao. Didn’t know Courtney was two people💀
@@kiingblue its just a skit, she still refers as she/her.
I hated having my camera on in high school, and I'm in college now and starting to more realize why it bothers me in particular. I have tourettes and I'm autistic and I still mask a lot, so when I have to have my camera on, I lose a part of my focus because it's an extra layer of mentally controlling my tourettes and masking my autistic traits. It's either I focus on controlling my behaviors or I'm embarrassed by my behaviors being screened to everyone. So, for me, camera off just means I focus easier.
Happy to say I've never had to take one of those camera monitored exams-I would definitely fail.
I relate to this. Making sure I don't do anything that will cause comments while on camera takes up 100% of my energy, and then I still get fussed at anyway for not knowing what's going on.
My dad has always said that everyone should have to work some sort of service job. If that was the case I think everyone would be a whole lot nicer to service workers.
The guy's mom showing up to the interview and then the follow up nonsense sounds exactly like something my mom would do. The whole lineup of it. I have thankfully broken ties from her but I can see her doing every bit of that
My mom let me walk in to my interview(Coldstone Creamery, the hot cocoa was MY IDEA).... Went and parked, then came in and sat next to me, answered questions for me. Glad the dude gave me a chance, he could tell I didn't like it, but couldn't do a damn thing about it.
Then, months later after she told him she'd go through hell or high water to get me to work, she refused to take me because I needed to help wrap presents. Owner even said he would come get me, and she said my "sh*t would be put in the yard when I got back."
Some people are not meant to be parents, they see their kids as an extension of themselves.
@@RealBradMiller and that their kids are their way to fix what they did wrong
Oh my god, same, mine does this too. I'm so happy you broke ties with her. It's so controlling.
For me the worst part is their behaviour can be defended as "doing it out of concern" or "I did it because I wanted to help you". My mum's convinced my family of this 😖
@@ishitaswaroop8779 yeah the stories I have are quite insane so I bet yours rival it well. It's such an awful situation to be in because you feel like you don't have a family at that point
Dude, I can't even focus on the stories, I'm completely amazed, shocked and blown away by Sarah's appearance out of the blue, it's like running into a old high school friend at the grocery store and suddenly remembering and reminiscing on all the crazy stuff you guys used to do years ago. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? 😂
Simp
It is really a testament to how great the working environment is now post defy. We saw a few people come back like Mari and it just warms my heart that they are truly family🥹
150 countries is like.... Almost all of them. The planning, even if funded, is insane. One three day trip across the USA is something I need to think about for a month lol
Having an insane amount of money does make a lot of things way easier though.
@@TenjoZakito yeah man, you aren't teaching me anything with that
@@TenjoZakito obviously, but what's the point of saying this lmao
@@yoshita4140 What is the point of your comment?
First story: i LOVE this whole concept so much 😂😂 Its so ultimate petty that doesnt really cause actual harm
37:44 I grew up lower middle class and it was tough at times growing up. I have always had; as one of my coworkers call them “the minimum wage jobs.” And so, this year I started my first “office job” and I love it and I love the people I work with, but they are all as you would say “privileged” and most of them have never worked for the public in like a retail job or something. Not all but most of them I would say this is the case.
I can certainly relate to this person, it’s kind of like a culture shock moment to be listening to everyone talk about all of the countries they’ve visited and how many times they’ve gone to Disney. But I really appreciate their perspectives and it’s a good reminder about what life could potentially be for me in the future since I work the same job they do.
For context, I relate to your situation immensely. That said, I will say that last sentence is unfortunately not likely to be the case. Their lives will always be better because the system is built to maintain their quality of life and prevent yours from improving. For example: 1) they don't have student loans, so more of their paychecks go into their bank accounts, and 2) their parents have already paid off their houses, so they only have to pay like 10% of what you pay for your rent (or insanely unreasonable mortgage payments) each month -- that's like an additional $1000-2000 each month in discretionary income to spend on vacations, new cars, retirement, healthy food, etc.
This is why we need an effective system of wealth redistribution -- even something as simple as an inheritance tax (without a readily-available loophole -- as the case is now). Or even graduated property taxes similar to income taxes so the property wealthy pay proportionally more than those buying a modest townhouse.
@spencerlively3049 this is the situation I'm in too. Student loans and fat mortgages.
I also feel like they missed the part where OP clearly insinuated that they weren’t interested in the conversation, and Jack kept PRESSING op to take interest in his story. Like not everyone is going to fawn over you Jack. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️
@@spencerlively3049 yeah I know, but it will get me somewhere in some amount of time and I can count on that. Better than my past.
HOLY SHIT dude! "Shadow" guy is not giving younger brother energy. He is giving MEGA controlling, stalker, I'll boil your bunny energy! That is INSANE! Run AWAY, OP! Run far, far away. Change your name. Cut/dye/restyle your hair, get a different car, do all the things to get the hell away from this crazy stalker husband where he can never find you again!
Unfortunately being in the relationship for 2 decades like OP, the idea of "just don't be with your partner anymore" isn't as easy to execute like ripping off a band-aid 😢
Their children are having continuous major health problems. This isn't an allegation I make lightly. Get a second opinion on the kids away from the father. He keeps changing jobs and degrees to spend every minute with OP. Nothing glues you closer than a sick child.
I thought the same. Which indicated that the hosts have been very blessed to not have had to endure a narcissistic brute in their lives. So in that case, I envy them a bit, ya know? Love them to bits!
@@mirang9884another comment mentioned how she'd been in a relationship with that guy for longer that she's not been in her life since she got with him when she was 19 and he was 24! the time combined with the fact that they have children together just makes it all so difficult to just cut and run from the creep its so sad
@@mirang9884Yeah. I know. All too familiar, unfortunately. But still needed to be said. It's not impossible though. I have seen many victims get out even after 2-3 decades, so, we can hope and pray however/to whatever/whomever we pray for her and others in similar positions.
Man I really hope there’s an update for that shadowing husband story cuz they moved on way too fast from that one I was surprised
The mom who interrupted the job interview and cost the son the internship COMPLETELY reminds me of a story I heard once about a helicopter mother who had a son in the Army. She kept messaging his drill sergeant about how hard he was pushing her son's squad and how much worse he treated them after she messaged the FIRST time!! Some Momma's need to know when to give their kids wings!!
The story about the mom sitting in on the interview reminds me a lot of what I worked IT for my university, and every semester at the end of the semester we'd have parents demanding to see their kids grades as though they were entitled to them.
We had your mind these parents that their child is a grown ass adult and they're for entitled to privacy. There was a separate login system for the parents that it was the child's responsibility to fill out if they decided to.
"But I'm the one paying for it!" That is literally your decision. You're not legally required to do that. Maybe you should treat your child like an adult and have a real conversation with them?
If someone visited 150 countries, (which is very wild because that’s 75% of all of the countries) then it does mean that guy had parents who had more resources that almost every other person. However good on those parents for using that to make their kids have more experiences rather than SOME rich parents that just let thier kids spend $5000 a year on gacha and csgo skins.
That's also just a *lot* of travel. Like, if he's 24, and not counting countries he doesn't remember visiting (so start the count around 5 or so), we're talking about 7 new countries per year. That's a crazy schedule. That's impressive that he's able to do that and not get totally burnt out and still be interested in the cultures of the places he's visiting. Absolutely means he's got rich parents, but it's still impressive.
OP dude came off so needlessly jealous in that story, his coworker just had something exciting to talk about at the bar and when he noticed op was fuming he was like "what's going on man? You can tell me"
The fact the guy didn't start an argument makes me think there's no way "his ego was hurt" like that commenter said. He was probably worried he said something offensive that made op upset, or was just wondering what was bothering him. If he was a rich asshole boasting about how much money he had he could've blown up right back
@@ryang1202op tried to disengage tho. But the guy kept pushing. Also op didn't say he was fuming he just...wasn't impressed
@@ryang1202it’s not the guy going to those countries it’s the guy not wanting to let OP not participate. OP is right, visiting 150 countries isn’t an accomplishment at 23.
I don't fully agree if their takes on the 150 countries story. While we don't know if the Jack was boasting or not, he still kept asking why OP wasn't engaging with the topic. OP initially said "Good for you" and kept himself quiet. While we don't know the way he said it, it was still Jack who was bothered with him not engaging in the conversation and felt the need to question OP. I do think his answer comes from a place of resentment, but I don't think he gave that answer just to hurt Jack. I think that he was just answering the question honestly.
I read that particular story when it first hit Reddit and I remember going with ESH. Jack was wrong to press the issue, and that's the response you get when someone politely stays quiet. Don't pry, don't push or you'll get an answer you're not going to like or expect. But OP was in the wrong for being as harsh and letting their feelings of resentment through. And phrasing the response a bit differently wouldn't have been a bad thing. Or just saying "you visited, but did you experience each of those 150 countries?" would have been better.
@@LightBluePhoenix exactly
To me I see the rich parents story as the coworkers trying to be friendly and making him feel welcomed
I had such a bad day at work. 8 hours of retail hell. I had forgotten about Reddit stories and seeing it pop up made everything so much better.
((((HUGS)))) Enjoy your shower or bath
Tomorrows a new day - hope it’s a better one ❤
1:08:31 bro finally got to watch the 49ers in the Super Bowl just to see them lose again lol
Was thinking this 😭
The story where “Sarah” stole food and used personal items from the OP…there seems to be like two possible things going on here:
1) Sarah has boundary issues and thinks that she and OP are such good friends that what’s OP’s is also Sarah’s.
2) Another thing I’m getting from this is that Sarah has an adversarial thing going on where she doesn’t like OP and is bullying and doing this to exert some kind of power over OP.
I was really trying to get my head around her behavior in the Other Sarah story, but I don't have much experience for such things
Thanks for these hypothesis!
I dont think one because if she was a friend she would have tried to adjust the behavior. Maybe 2, or she feels like she can take advantage of OP.
@@cristina08888 Right but I didn’t say they were friends in that scenario, just that Sarah “thinks” they are. Sometimes people are delusional about friendships that don’t exist.
For my first job ever, I was 16 and my mom made me do everything myself. She was totally there for any questions I had or if I needed any help with applying, but the actual interviews were all me. I was a nervous wreck, but that's a part of the experience. Doing those things yourself is an important part of growing up. I'm glad my mom allowed me to learn this myself. It really helped me build my self confidence.
One thing with 150-country Jack is that he mentioned that Jack pressed him about "what's wrong?" We all have things that tick us off or pet peeves or such, but if he's quiet and trying to avoid answering, if Jack kept pushing for an answer, then some of it is on Jack... if he's going to have a problem with the answer, don't push for it.
EXACTLY! i was looking for someone else who noticed this. i think it’s wrong to assume that OP was jumping at the bit to just put this guy down. he clearly just wanted to mind his business, and the fact that all three of them sided with jack on that one irked me quite a lot.
THANK YOU. Gosh I thought I imagined that part with how they completely glossed over it originally
YUP Jack literally went out of his way to needle this person just... existing instead of fawning over his "accomplishment"? Their take on this was not it
Came here to say this. OP was drinking, not bringing it up, until the topic changed and he could rejoin the conversation. But Jack pushed the damned point and OP finally lost it, justifiably. Maybe let someone who has known OP longer handle it.
But we also don't know exactly what happened. This is coming from OP's POV, so he could be telling the story in is favor, and based off that, you can't assume that Jack was as rude about as OP said.
I don't understand how someone pumping their milk with a pump and you can't even see anything except a bit of a pump, and it's literally to feed their child, in any way negative and why anyone in the meeting should have felt "uncomfortable". She's the only one who has the right to be uncomfortable since she didn't choose to initially be on camera
I think part of the reason for it being uncomfortable is because she was forced to do it, and people would see it without getting a heads up. I'm very casual with friends breastfeeding when you keep talking. That's normal in my country. But you usually give some kind of heads up. A little "she's gotta feed" or "gotta pump". So it's more the unexpectedness combined with knowing someone pushed her to do it when she didn't want to that gives that feeling. At least that's what I hope. I know some people in the US are quite odd about it though so who knows.
These always give me the same vibe as a parent reading for their kids, I love it
I believe Shane keeps his food safe from everybody else in the office is with malic acid. Grave mouth for the win.
SARAH LOOKS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING OMG, I LOVE THE FIT AND THE HAIR, SHE IS SLAYING
Seeing Sarah on smosh again gave my heart such a warm feeling❤️
Thank you Sarah for being such a giant part of what smosh is today❤️🫶🏼🫶🏼
22:01 yeah, i agree, i think that behavior is more than just clingy, it’s absolutely about control and not trusting her to be alone. I think there are mental health issues here that can potentially become very dangerous. Unfortunately this happens more often than it should 😢
The last story is incredible! I feel so bad that op didn't get to go but the revenge was perfection! Love the client
I feel like these unhealthy marriage stories always start "I'm 39 and my husband is 44" ok, cool, normal age gap for that range. "We've been married for twenty years" WHAT
For story 7
I used to work with this lady that always brought food for the department, sometimes sweets, sometimes snacks, sometimes whole cakes, she organized the parties and always gave out gifts and such. Very giving lady.
One day there were a handful of black food tuppers on the break table, with a note that had her name on it. Everyone helped themselves and ate the food for lunch.
Later that day, we saw her searching around for something and it was not until later that we all asked her what she was looking for.
Turns out that it was her meal prep for the week that she had ordered from someone from another department 😅 we all were moooortified about it and aplogized profusely, we just thought that it was her buying lunch for the whole department, which had happened in the past.
NOT ME CHECKING OLD SMOSH VIDS, TO SEE HINTS OF SHAYNE AND COURTNEY DATING 👀🤣
How did we not notice courtney wearing her engagement ring in this video
The story of the wife not wanting her husband to shadow her gives big stalker vibes. Like dude back off. Also very controlling and makes me wonder what else he does that she doesn't notice is a red flag
Re the son/mom interview: I agree with the comment that OP should have given the feedback to the son as well as the mom. I doubt she would pass that along and the son needs to hear it.
Man it would be such a fun episode if you guys did a SMOSH THEATER : REDDIT STORY EDITION.
Always a treat to have Sarah back, I love her and miss her so much
Sarah's fashion has been missed 😅 checked body suit, baby blue crocs, rubber duck earrings.
The Super Bowl story, that person who stole the tickets could be charged with grand theft with the price of those tickets
About the last storty, Sarah's observation was absolutely right. If their work was related to financial services, this gesture of the superbowl tickets, albeit probably made from kindness, can be viewed as conflict of interest, and it's usually discouraged ethically speaking. Good stuff in this video!
That last story was complete fire! Loved it, glad that guy made it out. These Reddit story videos are great. Was great to see you all with Sarah again..
Petition for Smosh to do a skit with Ian being the unruly customer and Anthony firing Chanse or Angela 😂😂😂😂😂
*italian husband voice* SARAHH WITTLLEEE
150 countries for someone in their early twenties is not impossible if they grew up poor, just very difficult. I knew a kid in high school who have visited almost 50 countries because he was a refugee and had been shunted between countries for years and I know someone else in college that does Engineers Without Borders (which was paid for by the school, private companies, or other countries) that has visited 80-100 on summers between semesters. It is actually not that difficult to get from country to country once you get out of the US.
The shadow husband reminds me of a tt i saw where a girl said she waited for her bf to finish his 8 hr shifts in the parking lot. You gotta wonder what these people would do if they ever broke up/ got a divorce since it'd be like losing their entire world. Scary imho
If he gets divorced, he'll have gotten his whole degree for nothing.
Unfortunately, it's not an outlandish guess that they would resort to violence
Had I been the interviewer I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from asking the mother if she was going to be coming to work for him too.
i actually disagree with their conclusion on the story about the 150 countries. OP said that Jack kept pushing and asking why OP wasnt asking about it, so OP said that even though they didn’t want to. i’ve noticed this pattern a few times recently where they will miss details like this, which in my opinion are VERY crucial to the final conclusion of the story.
From what I got he didn't ask why he wasn't asking about it but why he wasn't joining in Could be that that meant asking questions but could also mean are you ok? You suddenly stopped talking and joining in the conversation.
@@Abzify1 it's still kind of weird that he asked why he wasn't joining in though. if people aren't interested in a conversation, they don't have to join in and people should just let them be. i don't understand why he was pestering him to join in on a conversation that didn't directly involve him.
@@ohhoy713 If someone suddenly becomes distant and stops interacting with the group I think it's pretty normal to inquire about what's up. Especially depending on if op was just chilling or was visibly bitter.
You still don't blow up like that.
And that still does not change how he wrote about it, which doesn't help his case, showing off his insecurities with "rich people who think they're better than anyone else is one of my biggest pet peeves" when he couldn't even mention an example of Jack acting like he was above everybody else
And funny how you forgot the detail that Jack did not ask "why aren't you asking things?" (Which yeah, would be like saying "why aren't you giving me attention?), he asked why he wasn't joining in the conversation. That's not a crazy or inappropriate thing to ask if someone suddenly turns quiet in a conversation
They often miss important things for sure. From what I see, it seems like they quickly jump on anyone's strong opinion and then run with it without first thinking themselves, which causes them to bypass and even warp bits of information and people involved.
Some people are more level-headed like Arasha, while others like Shayne and Chanse aren't.
I love that yall ended it on a positive note ❤ so wholesome
The superbowl ticket story reminds me of how at my mother's funeral, my grandma stole money donated to me (then early 20s) to take care of my two much younger siblings (teens) since our mom just died. My grandma is a huge gambling addict and it took me a long time to come around to that. The group of people donating (my mother's coworkers) gave the money to my grandma to give to me after the funeral since all of my mother's children were at the front doing a religious ritual (as per my mother's wishes).
Makes me feel so appreciated. I went back to work 6 weeks after having my baby. This is my second time doing this and I’ve pumped through both. I did it for a year 💪🏻
Here's your super mom award! Good job!
Idk why but shayne tells the stories so well that on the last story I was literally imagining them calling the guy "dickhead partner" 😂😂 well done shayne as always
that shadowing couple… married for 20 years means at 24 and 19. How long were they dating before they got married……. 😶
I saw a comment that said 3 years. Yikes.
This is the best pairing so far! These three are all so emotionally intelligent 🥰
I recently found your podcast version and I'm addicted these stories are WILD
Oh my god Sarah's hair is amazing!!! A moment for her hair please
Thank u for these videos! They’re entertaining and I feel like I understand younger generations better (I’m a crusty old boomer) by listening to the thoughts & opinions of Shayne & all the others. I love Smosh!
Don't worry Sarah, people will remember you. I'm an og early 2000s Smosh watcher.
