Story 4. Props to the dad for not being one of the parents that thinks their kid can do no wrong and actually disciplining them.
Also done it in a non-abusive, character-building kind of way.
Prank Calls: That's actually pretty good parenting. An hour of awkwardness where the kid observes the effect that a dumb prank has on others will probably reduce the likelihood of pulling that stunt again and doesn't involve corporal punishment.
Nothing quite like the power of embarrassment!
Agreed!
True. Nowadays though, it's "abuse" to embarrass children. 😑
@@sapphirie yro'ueg mom
@@sapphirie People only really say it's abuse when referring to those parents that will talk shit about their children on live, calling them disgusting, filthy, and a whole bunch of other horrid names while streaming it live for everyone and their peers to see. Those instances are not teaching them a lesson. It's pure humiliation for the sake of some views on social media and an attempt to try to show the world of how "good" they are as a parent.
@TheRainbowbeautiful yeah, I think there is a difference between being humbled and being humiliated. I would say that the father humbled their child, so the child got embarrassed. He didn't rant and scream and throw out his phone, post on CZcams about what a disrespectful brat he is, etc. The dad just made the kid take responsibility for his actions. It is sad that many people cannot see the difference!
That soccer goal story is exactly why unless your neighbor is actually bothering you, you should leave them the hell alone. Probably some old lady with nothing better to do.
Just want to point out, in some areas a prohibition on non-permanent or semi-permanent structures is there for a very good reason. In this case, the neighbors were almost certainly just being d!cks but it's possible that OPs malicious compliance is exactly what the neighbors wanted and now they are happy. How could that be? Let's just say hurricanes, tornadoes and other strong storms. Things like a non-secured soccer goal become deadly.
@@wingracer1614 Didn't OP say they would take it down when they weren't using it though bc the cops fined them for it? I'm sure they were careful about it during storms, stuff like that can take off in a hurry. Sounds like Karen just wanted to make them miserable bc it didn't reach Karen standards.
@@InkHyaena Again, I agree this is almost certainly a Karen being a Karen, just pointing out that there is a small possibility that the malicious compliance is exactly what they wanted.
I would bet that the same neighbor is complaining on Twitter about "kids today never play outside".
Don’t mess with the people that :
- Make your food
- Watch your kids
- Fix your computer or car
May I add
Customer service in any kind
Or do your yard
You forgot the IT guy too
You forgot rocket scientists/engineer
Or those knowledgeable in tree law
The drink story is hilarious. That's why you hire a bartender instead of cheaping out and trying to do it yourself. Imagine telling somebody that ICE is mandatory. He was clearly trying to save money on alcohol by putting tons of ice in the drinks. No surprise coming from a landlord.
i loved the "whats for desert?" "ice cream sandwiches" "damn!" priorities straight xD
Never get between a kid and ice cream, they're masters of malicious compliance
Honestly, that would've been my reaction as a kid too! Actually, would be my reaction as an adult now! "Ooh, this is a nice BBQ! Got any dessert?" "We got ice cream sandwiches for the kids." "Wait, 'just' for the kids?" *awkward silence*
*Councilor:* "If you knew you were going to throw up-"
*OP:* "Because you literally made me, I told you in plain English, and you didn't care. Why are you pretending that the previous conversation didn't even happen? Is this supposed to be gaslighting? Because you're _really_ bad at it."
And... there really is a Camp Winacka. I let them know of their infamy in a FB message with a link to this video with the timestamp :- )
Story 4: The dad disciplined him really well. He ordered and ate right there around OP and embarrassed the hell out of him. I just hope the kid took this as a lesson and not prank call others again.
Reminds me of my grandpa, he was like this. He was never ugly, just took mom to apologize for whatever and make it right. Simple consequences was all it took
It was a perfect parenting moment. The embarrassment was enough. And kids need to experience face to face, who they affect.
Oh please it was prank calls
@@RevolverOcelot2008yeah, it was just prank calls, and the dad just took the kid for a face-to-face apology, I say it's the perfect way to teach them a lesson
@@RevolverOcelot2008 That's why he didn't get screamed at, he got a talking to and a public apology. Pretty fair recourse for mostly an inconvenience
Aperitifs: Hey, not everyone wants ice in their drinks, so if they ask for no ice, then give them a drink with no ice. It's rude to ignore such a request.
Plus I know it's a way for restaurants to cut back on drink use by decreasing available volume.
There's a good chance it's because ice is the cheapest ingredient in literally any drink that isn't tapwater. Many restaurants (especially but not only fast food places) have a policy to fill all cold drinks with a bunch of ice to keep costs lower.
Staff are /usually/ allowed the discretion to ignore rules like this when a customer asks for less or no ice... but every once in a while you run into penny-pinching jerks like the guy who served OP's group. It's virtually always a management/owner thing, lower level staff rarely give enough Fs about supply expenses to be that stingy (unless the boss is watching and their job depends on it).
Plus it's not absurd request nor it require someone to go extra mile. In fact it's negative mile.
Additionally, don't kick someone out for nothing.
@@ReigoVassalyes that's just bad business sense. as one of my former co-workers used to say: "jumping over dollars to save nickels" there's a local sub shop that I often eat at, and a few years ago they cut back the operating hours to save money, the problem is I'm usually there around closing time, and the workers are frustrated because right about then is when a lot of customers start coming in that have to be turned away. I'm told they have kind of an automated system that tells them how much business they're supposed to get compared to previous years, the problem is there's no way for the system to know how many sales they missed because they were closed. there's a lot of times when I get out of work late, and that's where I would have gone, but I have to go somewhere else because they're closed. it's baseball season right now, how many parents don't want to go home to make dinner after a game? this place closes at 8:00 and there's usually long lines of traffic coming from the park from 7:30 to 9:00. the other thing is he blames the employees for low sales... as if they're allowed to go outside and flag people down or something... idiot manager.
This is why I love McDonald's, Burger King, Carl's Jr., Jack-in-the-Box... some other popular burger joint who's name escapes me at the moment... famous for being sassy on Twitter... where was I? Because they let you serve your own drinks, so I can not only serve it with no ice, I can mix sprite, pepsi, root beer, and mountain dew or whatever I want and make a drink CZcams won't let me say the name of.
Boiled spinach: when I was in a church summer day camp in Philly in the ‘70s, they would serve us kids THE WORST lunches. Liver. Lima beans. Pickled beets. Just looking at it, my mouth started to pool with saliva (and I KNEW what that meant, even at 4-5 years old). I raised my hand and told them I couldn’t eat the food. They told me I had to eat it. I told them that if I ate it I would throw up. The woman told me that if I threw it up I’d clean it up, and she laughed. I took a bite.
And immediately threw up all the way from the table to the bathroom.
Funny, there wasn’t a trace of it left by the time they cleaned me up and got me back to the table.
And they NEVER tried to force me to eat again.
(I can still kinda remember her eyes widening in panic when she realized something outside all of our control was imminent. She RAN me to that bathroom 😂 ahhhhh good times 😝)
I remember "brownie bites" with my kiddo in Girl Scouts - the difference was it was *one* bite of something new, not forcing them to eat something disliked/inedible to the kid. She found lots of things were, in fact, really tasty, in spite of how they might look. (They went on a stint of trying international home-cooked food, not restaurant/snacks.)
Story 1 is a prime example of how I like to look at money:
*_"Money doesn't change hands - people change hands with the objects they value. Pay attention if you wish to interpret what people around you consider "valuable" - including yourself."_*
13:38 companies aren't actually allowed to only round down. If they're rounding they have to round to the nearest not rounding down. ( It's wage theft and they can get in massive trouble for it)
Actually depends on where you live! The employment laws were I am say that companies only have to pay in 15 min increments so if you show up 5 min late then they don't have to pay you until the next quarter hour (it's within your right to not work though during that time though). Same goes for if you stay 10 min late you don't get more pay until that next quarter hour hits. So just be familiar with the laws in your area!
@@TaroTempura
If it results in consistent discrepancies like only rounding down is guaranteed will then they will definitely be liable for wage theft. (That's the US so if you're not in the US other countries will have differences)( these are Federal regulations so any large companies will guaranteed be under them but sometimes smaller companies don't have to fall the same rules)
785.48 Use of time clocks.
(a) Differences between clock records and actual hours worked. Time clocks are not required. In those cases where time clocks are used, employees who voluntarily come in before their regular starting time or remain after their closing time, do not have to be paid for such periods provided, of course, that they do not engage in any work. Their early or late clock punching may be disregarded. Minor differences between the clock records and actual hours worked cannot ordinarily be avoided, but major discrepancies should be discouraged since they raise a doubt as to the accuracy of the records of the hours actually worked.
(b) “Rounding” practices. It has been found that in some industries, particularly where time clocks are used, there has been the practice for many years of recording the employees' starting time and stopping time to the nearest 5 minutes, or to the nearest one-tenth or quarter of an hour. Presumably, this arrangement averages out so that the employees are fully compensated for all the time they actually work. For enforcement purposes this practice of computing working time will be accepted, provided that it is used in such a manner that it will not result, over a period of time, in failure to compensate the employees properly for all the time they have actually worked.
Oil story: I live here in the Permian Basin (West Texas and New Mexico). Most of the people here are rich but dress normal. I worked for millionaires who shop at the local Walmart. 😂😂😂
Reminds me of a story a friend of mine likes to tell. A friend of his had hit it big time. We're talking many, many millions. So when he came back to town, he offered to take my friend and his wife out to dinner. They went to a nice but not super crazy restaurant. Total bill for everyone was around 150 dollars which he quite happily paid. At this point I should point out that the service they had gotten was horrible. The place wasn't busy yet the waitress basically disappeared on them. On the way out they were stopped by the waitress who profusely thanked him for the 50 dollar tip. His response "honey, before I hit it big, I was a waiter. My wife was a waitress. We know how hard it is living off tips like that. That is why I always leave a 500 dollar tip when I eat out. But your service was so bad, I only left 50. Good evening." and they left.
@@wingracer1614 That’s funny 😂
That’s why they have money. There’s a difference between being rich and being wealthy.
That's how they *keep* their millions.
I was told on a road trip with my family once that if i took less pee breaks, there was an ice cream sandwich waiting for me at the destination...... you can guess what happens to a 10 year old when you tell him to hold it for a delicious treat😂
Wow that's kind of stupid. That's basically pushing a kid for needing to do a basic bodily function 🤦♀️ one thing I hate about traveling is no having anywhere to go. It actually causes anxiety which actually causes me to go more. I actually wear depends my last few plane rides and it was crazy the difference. That's how I know my anxiety actually makes me need to go more
@@jodie1556 it was incredibly stupid! I believe I pissed my pants within the first hour..... that stain remained in the seats until the car was sold....
That ended _way_ better than I was expecting. If it were my family, it would have been a 4-8 hour drive of excruciating pain and indomitable willpower, and then my parents "forgetting" any such promise was ever made. And then, teasing me ten years later, like "Remember that trip where we tricked you into not peeing and we pretended to forget-" and then complaining about me "getting all pissy" (oh the irony) when I complain that they knew the entire time and that was literally child abuse. So... IDK, you family sounds like they are only criminally naïve, but not quite as toxic as mine... -I say as if trauma were a competition or something.-
@@Nahyoudontgetthat Well done! 😂 When children need water, food or the restroom they should never be denied or bribed! Utter nonsense. Our kids would get a snack (usually a bowl of cereal) and a drink a half hour before bedtime then off to brush teeth, etc. It worked. I finally figured out a system to be sure their tummies were full and my hubby and I got our telly time in!
@@Wendy_O._Koopa sounds like you should have just let it happen and see how happy about having a car smell like pee. I definitely can't hold it that long even as an adult
Prank Calls: Kids are dumb and love to mess with people, and sometimes you just need to scold them and take them to the place they've prank called just so they never do it again.
I do find it funny that it was a pizza place being prank called
ngl I'm so glad this didn't end with an entitled parent storming in to yell at OP
When Mom was Town Clerk, she got a phone call from a kid/teenager. "Do you sell marriage licenses?" "Yes, we do." "Great! Can we get a learner's permit?" 🤣
"Hello? Dominos? You're my favorite pizza place."
I wish my pizza place got these kinds of prank calls instead. Most of ours have been the "let's fake an order with a cash payment on delivery 30 minutes before they close" variety
As someone who grew up rural it's always baffled me when any business discriminates based on appearances...some of the dirtiest, greasiest people I grew up knowing could sink millions a year on equipment, investments and training new workers, money talks but true wealth whispers
The actual phrase is "the customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE* so if he wants a sardine, pineapple, pickled herring, and spinach pizza, it's disgusting, but now he's right.
Story 3 reminds me of the one where the soldier goes off base to a bar, get carded, and has his military ID taken by the bouncer as an informal shake down, so the soldier goes back to base to tell a higher ranking official, who sends a Sargent and a couple of MPS to the bar to both get the ID back, and every soldier in the bar, telling them the bar is blacklisted to them, almost completely emptying the place.
I remember that story 😀
General lack of respect towards blue-collar workers is what grinds my gears.
Same here. The old idea that the USA is a "classless society" is wrong. We have levels of society like any country, with snooty "haves" crapping on the "have-nots".
Gears wouldn’t even be able to grind without blue collar workers.
12:40 _We can't round up, because that's dishonest._
Yeah? Well, not paying someone for time they've worked is also dishonest...
I work with kids, and let me tell ya, you NEVER force a kid to eat anything they don't want to eat. This is NOT a hill to die on. Suggest they try it, sure, but if they refuse, just say, "Okay, no problem. I hope there's enough other food for you. If not, let me know and I'll get you something else."
Unless, y'know, you enjoy cleaning puke for an hour.
You're not wrong!
I told my daughter she wasn't getting anything else until she ate the food I made for her. She didn't eat for TWO DAYS rather than eat that meal!
To clarify a few things:
1) There was nothing wrong with the food. I had the same thing. She was just in a picky phase.
2) It's not neglect if they have good food available, and CHOOSE not to eat it.
3) I think she was sneaking snacks out of the pantry. At no point did she seem malnourished or underfed.
I was the one to cave. There are better hills to die on.
So I heard that first story before and one thing that was pointed out in the comments was that Karen referred to the nanny as a babysitter. This indicates she has no respect for OP. OP responded saying that Karen had always done this and that they only realized it with that comment.
What's the difference? Isn't nanny just what British people call it?
@@CH-ns4gv nah we also call a babysitter a babysitter - that's when someone (usually a teen) comes over as more of a one-off, to put the tv on and keep an eye on the kids for a few hours while the parents are out. A nanny is more involved from what I understand, and have a regular schedule of caring for the kids
@SJ-yu5zk gotcha. I had an adult babysitter as a kid who watched me and a few other kids daily and it was like her full time job but never really heard the word nanny aside from British people and that TV show the nanny with that woman with the screechy voice lol
@@CH-ns4gv That was Fran Drescher who played the titular character.
Saturdays: the only day I can watch rSlash as soon as it comes out
100% agreed!
Story 6:🎵 hello mudda, hello fadda, I just puked at, camp Winacka🎵
Prank calls: I immediately laughed when rSlash said that this takes place back when there were still landlines because, well, there are still landlines. We only got rid of ours a couple years ago because we were tired of constantly getting spam and scam calls and we made Dad get a mobile instead as he was the only person without one in the house.
I prefer my landline, and it only costs me $10 per month.
Ours just quit working, and Verizon has scrubbed all the info on landline service off their website. We eventually gave up. That phone number had been in my Wife's family since 1945, and probably was attached to the property before that. Kind of sad to lose it.
@@dudeorduuude5211 Eh, I liked our landline too... but the spam and scam calls were getting ridiculous and it made it hard for the important calls to get through. We use mint mobile - it's like $20 per month - and Dad likes to take pictures on his phone
It always gets me how so many rich people are scabs, yet so many of the poorest people are consistently generous to a fault.
A friend of mine (NOT rich by any means) stopped in the local diner while he was doing some last minute Christmas shopping. The waitress was very pregnant- and very tired. Later on, he overheard her talking to another waitress. They were a good distance away, but the restaurant was fairly quiet. The waitress was talking about having two kids and a third on the way, and how hard her husband had to work. I need to make it very clear that she was NOT "caging tips." The tip he left her had his bank account screaming in pain, but he rode that high for a long, long time. When he told his wife, she was 100% on board with him spending that much.
My uncle is like that. He's loaded, yet, when his dad died, he and my parents were cleaning out his house and went nuts trying to find all the money hidden in the house. Every time one of my parents found an envelope, he'd grill them about the contents. That's all he looked for. Then, he gypped us all out of our share.
Story 1 - R/slash you forgot number 3. Nanny's TALK! So they not only lost a good nanny but are going to have troubles finding a new one once word gets around about their stinginess! LOL
Bar story
Bruh who gets unhinged over ice needs a chill pill. This isn't a sports concession stand where workers are paid by the ice bag. That drink was even free. Dude picked a weird hill to d*e on.
...unhinged over ICE needs a CHILL pill....
I see what you did there! 🤣
The prank calls was amazing parenting! Props to that dad for teaching that kid a lesson and leaving a good tip behind after as an apology for his kid's actions. The talking to would have been enough, and that dad went above and beyond to ensure his kid wouldn't do it again. Good dad.
As someone who works at Hizza Put and gets prank calls every now and then, the Pominos Dizza story gave me a good chuckle.
Homie literally told you what they'd do for a Klondike bar, major respect
ROTFLMAO!
Wow that last story. What is wrong with those counselors that they feel the need to punish someone (refusing to give them dessert) for not eating something after being told that eating it will cause the person to throw up.
Adults love to downplay and ignore what children tell them, either claiming they're lying or just trying to be dramatic or special. I myself had a time where I told adults that I couldn't eat something because I'll get sick and they made me eat it with the threat of time out. Except when I got sick I was yelled at and told I made myself sick on purpose to spite them, I was *8* and didn't even know what spite meant. In general those people were pretty messed up but that's beside the point. Some people are just convinced children know nothing, understand nothing, aren't worthy of respect and need to just follow orders.
You clearly don't have kids. Some kids are dramatic and will choose the most unhealthy part of meals instead of the essentials like vegetables. Can't raise kids on carbs, fatty and processed things. So saying a certain number of bites is pretty typical. That said, in the 70s they didn't know how to cook with spinach properly. Boiled is the nastiest method.
@@dudeorduuude5211that can lead to some dangerous assumptions though. My sis and I have some weird allergies and intolerances. I'm allergic to raw orange (yes, it's that specific, I'm allergic to an enzyme in them), and my sister has an intolerance to all poultry, all of it makes her sick, including eggs. Because people thought we were just being picky, we spent the entirety of childhood constantly having stomach issues (and I had hives every summer, between my orange allergy and my sun allergy, neither of which ever got checked). Sometimes kids are picky, but if you don't know them it's better not to assume. And if they're your kids, it's worth getting things checked out if they're constantly avoiding specific foods.
Editing to add: because I had so many reactions to orange as a kid, my orange allergy actualy got worse. Now even a single bite can make my throat start to swell up and my mouth burns so bad it feels like it's bleeding if I accidentally eat anything with orange in it. It went from a very mild and manageable allergy to a moderate to severe one, and if it gets any worse it could start triggering full anaphylaxis. Please allergy test your kids folks, it's better to have a kid that can't eat certain things than a dead kid, and frankly I'm lucky my allergy only got this bad as an adult, because if I were a kid I'd probably be dead.
@@dudeorduuude5211 I'd rather risk parents being mad at me for their child not eating the right foods over potentially causing a child to be sick by forcing them to eat something they told me would make them sick.
Also, I've always been a picky eater, so I've had many times where I was punished because I didn't want to eat something that I didn't like.
A bit off-topic, but isn't it funny how we need a couple of days to recover from a vacation? 😅
Forcing anyone to eat something is just horrible. I was forced to drink hot milk by nana, may she rest in peace. Not only did I hate it and still do and would cry over a glass I've been lactose intolerant from a very young age and stopped drinking my mom's milk by the age of 1. Obviously nobody had a clue about it then, but still...I'm forever traumatized by the smell of hot milk 🤢
I don't throw up, but refuse to eat boiled spinach. It tastes gross and it feels gross. I will eat dryzfresh spinach in my salad. It's delicious. Whoever decided to boil it is a psycho.
The last story reminds me of my own childhood, but in a less funny way, keep in mind this was about 30 years ago. Back then I'd always hated spinach, because the only spinach I'd ever had was canned, so it was always wet and slimy. Nowadays I love fresh spinach, even more than lettuce, for sandwiches. But back then the canned spinach always made me sick. I also used to go to a very strict daycare while my parents were working (this was before I started school as well.) So, one day the daycare was serving lunch, which had canned spinach. I didn't eat it and got yelled at and told I had to eat it. I warned them that if I ate it, I would get sick, and they didn't believe me and told me I was making it up and made me eat it anyways. Sure enough, I got sick. However, unlike the story in the video, I was punished for getting sick and forced to stand in a corner. After my parents came to pick me up, I told them what happened, and they found a new daycare for me to go to.
Neighbor: *Calls the cops for a child’s soccer goal*
Little Girl and family: *Put in permanent regulation size goal*
Neighbor: *Surprised Pikachu face*
Story 1: from my gf who is a nanny: Guaranteed hours and the percentage OP is suggesting for nanny sharing is industry standard. Nannies are the ones doing these families a favor by holding those hours for the family, which is why they need to pay them even when the family is going on vacation.
Final story: I think OP should probably get checked to see if they have a dietry intolerance to spinach.
Why? If he does have such an intolerance, the treatment is to not eat it. He's already doing that. Besides, this is almost certainly a psychological thing, not physical. Why waste a bunch of time and money on doctors?
@@wingracer1614 Only in Wackyland.
Watching r/slash in the afternoon (it´s uploaded at 3 O´clock in the afternoon in scandinavia) drinking coffee. Have a great saturday everybody.
My local BWW had a broken fridge a few days ago, so last night I called to ask if their refrigerator is running and had to explain to them it was an honest question.
The last story reminds me of a babysitter I had. She insisted no food go to waste and that we clear our plates every meal. One night it was spaghetti. I cannot eat spaghetti without throwing up becauseof the texture. I knew this, my siblings knew this. I offered to skip dinner as to not be a bother. Babysitter was not pleased nor open to my offer. One bite and I threw up all over the floor. She made me clean up the mess then sit back at the table. She insisted I stop being dramatic and eat the whole plate. I sat there till bed time without eating lol
Story 4 reminds me of a story from my childhood, my brother did prank calls one night with a friend who was staying over. He ended up calling the wife of a sheriff deputy who was getting harassing phone calls already. Myself and my parent were awoken by a bunch of cops banging on our door in the middle of the night
Last story: I went to many a girl scout camp and they never had a three bite rule, only a mandatory drink a glass of water before anything else (since camps were at elevation).
I don't know if those rules were made after I stopped, but what a dumb rule. They aren’t the kids parents!
Even parents shouldn't do that. For one thing, dislike of food can be caused by undiagnosed food allergies or sensitivities. So allowing a child to refuse is a decent thing to do.
@@Ikajo I can agree with that. But parents also better know what their kids do/don't like or if it's their kid being stubborn that day or what not versus underpaid camp counselors
asking about the other 2 bites was magnificent.
also pizza dad was doing it right.
"This story took place back when people used land lines"
I'm officially old.
😂 I'm 21 (2002) and i barely remember them
Prehistoric times, when phones had tails. 😂
I still have mine. It is way cheaper than a cell phone, clearer.
I still have one.
I remember those days-tone dialling was in its infancy, superseding the rotary pulse diallers; Windows didn't have a Start menu yet; megabytes were the big memory units; VCRs were a luxury; CRT TVs used analogue VHF and UHF signals before FM radio took over the channel 4 band; mobile/cell phones were big bulky bricks; the World Wide Web had yet to be invented; EFTPOS was in its infancy with cards using a magnetic strip; dot matrix printers were common and noisy; perforated computer paper existed; _AD&D_ was the latest edition; 3.5" floppy disks (what the save icon is based on) were superseding 5.25" floppies; leaded petrol/gasoline was still being used; looking up information involved going to a library and/or looking it up in big bulky encyclopaedias; a dollar was worth a lot more; phone calls were charged by the minute; and snail mail was used to send letters and messages.
And this is why daycares here ask to document both allergies AND dietary restrictions, Lol. Some kids can’t tolerate the taste of certain foods; for example, we had a kid who’d vomit if he tasted blueberries. Food aversion is a real thing.
I don't see why people boil spinach, it's so much better for you uncooked.
Boiling is the worst method. But cooking with it is great. Spanikopita... yum. In omelets, quiches, lasagna, the best Ethipion dish (gomen wot) is with spinach, or the saag paneer in Indian cooking, etc... yum
Boiled spinach: after the vomiting, I would have looked at the counselors and said "1 down, 2 to go"
I’ve been watching for years I seriously love this guy
I love the prank call one omg
That dad is the best dad! good parenting!
When I was 12 or 13, a friend of mine and I prank called a local bar and attempted one of Bart Simpson's prank calls.
The guy who answered the phone was sharp. He just said, "You kids have seen the Simpsons one too many times. Have a good night."
We were floored, and we didn't do it again
A lot of people still have landline phones.
Businesses mainly.
Last story: Boiled spinach absolutely vile. Well played OP.
re: last story, yeah what is it about boiled spinach that makes it taste so disgusting....I too threw it up as a child every time is was made. Avoided spinach like the plague for years as a result. Then had some in it's natural leaf form and was totally happy with it.
Quick question. If you could bring back either r/ nuclear revenge, r/tifu or r/tales from tech support which one are you choosing?

Sometimes I really think that people forget that Dabney is also human and like any other human has different opinions than another human. It gets annoying seeing comments like “oh he needs to take a break, he needs to take a break, he’s been making bad calls” instead of opening up a discussion in the comments about the butthole score they’d put for sally or her husband or her mil like he doesn’t need to stop doing something and give disingenuous commentary to please a section is the audience
he hasnt had a bad take in a while, i’ll give him two aita videos nd on the third it will be his worst take yet 😂
The story about the father and his son prank calling Domino's is amazing and I like how the father punished his son.
Omg about the last one. I hate boiled carrots with peas, i told that in my preschool and they didn't care so after eating it, I threw up on their beautiful carpet for them to clean. Then my mother came and said noone is to force me to eat anything, no matter how much I ate.
12:39 I have the same rule of the 15 minutes rounding in my current job. It creates an atmosphere where you punch in and out and leave as quickly as possible, almost like kids at school when the bell rings. Not sure it's really in the best interest of the company to have this rule, but hey we follow the rules.
The Boiled Spinach story was hilarious!
That last one, sounded like what I went through, when I was a kid. Most vegetables make me nauseous, found out years later, that I had a food intolerance. I was at camp, and the counselor told me, that if I didn't have any vegetables, I couldn't leave my seat. I told him, that there wasn't any there, that wouldn't make me barf. He went and grabbed a small piece of cauliflower, and made me eat it. After the last bite, he saw how green I had gotten, and saw me run to the bathroom. He was standing outside of the restroom, hearing me throw up. They never tried that with me again.
My sister has a similar intolerance to poltry, even eggs. No one thought to figure out why chicken and eggs made her feel so bad, lol, we only figured out what was up with her as an adult. Funnily enough, now that she knows why it makes her feel bad, she doesn't mind it as much and can and will devour chicken in... truly worrying amounts (for her, at least.... and me, if I'm in the car with her). Intolerances can be so weird, because the symptoms can be so nonspecific and it can be really hard to track down which part of a meal is making you sick.
@@transsnack at least y'all knew something was up. My Mom, until the day she died, was adamant that I was just "being difficult." My husband and his family took me seriously. On my side of the family, they didn't press it, but my Mom never took it seriously, and she would make me eat whatever my stomach couldn't handle. I have kids now, and I don't do that with them. If they don't like something, I don't serve it to them.
More r/kevin plz
So, what I'm getting from that last story and these comments is that, if a kid tells you, "I can't eat this, I'll throw up", BELIEVE THEM!!!!
A lot of people believe kids are to be seen and not heard.
Top tier dad teaching his kid that there are real people at the end of the line. It applies to online as well. Hopefully the kid has learned while young to be respectful
In West Texas, you either work in the oil industry, cattle ranching, or agriculture. People aren’t wearing suits and ties to restaurants 😂 Jeans and button up maybe
And if you're going someplace nice (so I'm told) you break out your good Stetson, your string tie and your good "go to church" boots. 😆
The 3 bite rule was executed in the worst way possible. It is for parents to get their own children to try new food Not practical strangers to force things down on kids throat without asking their input.
"For context, this story takes place when there were still landlines."
I have never been called old in such an indirect and obscure way in my life...
Side note: Landlines are very much still a thing.
Has he never heard of “neat?” Or “no rocks?” I bartended through grad school. It’s not an unusual request.
That very last story is the textbook definition of "what would you do-oo-oo for a Klondike bar"
There would be no next time on Story 1 baby sitting would never again happen for that couple.
The camp in the last story is stupid. If a child says "I don't want to eat that, it's gross", then maybe you can enforce the three bites rule, but if they tell you "I'll throw up if I eat this" then you should at least ask them why they think that.
Reminds me of the kid whose grandfather made beans for dinner and wouldn't let the kid leave the table without eating them all, despite the kid knowing they'd make them throw up, so the kid forced down an entire bowlful with milk and proceeded to decorate the entire bathroom with them. Grandpa had to scoop them all up off every surface in the bathroom, and learned his lesson. Ruined the poor kid's new pyjamas that they were so proud of, too.
4th story, west texas, oil fields, does that take place in Odessa, Texas? Lol
i love this subreddit! getting a lot of ideas lol
Prank Calls: Now THAT is how it's done!
Happy Pride Month!
Thank you Rslash for all that you do! Love listening every morning!
That dominos story was sooooooo great. It’s wonderful to hear about kids getting disciplined.
okay, I wanna know what reaction causes one to immediately start vomiting from eating spinach and not stopping until it has left your stomach?
Is that allergic?
The way people cooked spinach in the 70s was nasty. The kid may have a sensitive gag reflex.
@@dudeorduuude5211either that or an intolerance, but I'm leaning more towards your theory.
@@dudeorduuude5211 It's especially bad when you have something like pond scum to make an immediate, and visually accurate, comparison to.
The prank call kid has a really good dad.
Story 4: hahahahaha, hahahahah. I like this dad, he gets the importance of not wanting people’s time.
Rounding time to the nearest 15 minutes only doesn’t work when the employee is loosing money.
7:57 the man who sold the world reference?!
Story 1 : "The nanny who likes my kid and kid likes them lets try to mess with them and see if i can get away with it what can go wrong?" Stupid entitled people....
Story 2 : " What's that a kid having fun playing and not being a pain in my butt absolutely not i will take care of that "
It backfires
Karen neighbor:" but wahhhh that wasnt suppose to happen "..
Story 3 : good on op dads co-workers have his back over the snobby turd landlord and giving him the middle finger.. its a 🍸 dont lose your mind over stupid silly things like that..
Story 4 : Good on op for following through with his threat and the kids dad for not being a karen and actually teaching his kid a lesson
Story 5 : when you think you slick but it backfires on you like a dofus..
Story 6 : even at 45 i cant stand green spinach .. The 3 bites rule on anything is dumb .. what if someone eats the food in 1 bite what happens then ??..
Pizza story: Good Dad actions have consequences
For story one good on you for enforcing your contract. On the other hand that’s a predatory ass contract and you know it. Pay me for not working? You’re out of your mind.
It's a service and it means that OP is available at any time no matter what.
I've never heard of babysitters who get paid a salary. Not near me at least.
You watch the children you get paid.
That's it.
I would never agree to that. But to each their own i guess.
That's the difference between a baby sitter and a nanny, you're on call for a specific family.
thats because shes nanny not a babysitters , its like the difference between a bus driver and a taxi driver
"This story takes place when there were still landlines!"
Am i really getting THAT OLD!
Join the club, we have jackets-I'm pushing 40.
Happy Saturday, Slashers!
Ain't that the name of ICP juggalos? Or is that choppers? Either way, dunno if I like that name.
Cooked spinach does suck.
Maybe that's why Popeye took it straight from the can! LOL
By itself. Ya. But mixed into as an ingredient of many dishes... amazing.
I don't dislike it. Food got pretty scarce sometimes when I was growing up, so I l learned to eat almost anything. Best way to enjoy spinach is in that Korr spinach dip, using the Knorr dried vegetable soup mix. It kicks @$$, and is a holiday tradition in our family.
@@dudeorduuude5211 I happily eat spinach quiche. "Real men" don't know what they're missing out on. And my Lady Wife makes these Bisquick "Impossible Pies" that are pretty much a shortcut version of quiche, and delicious.
Bar story: Imagine ruining a night of buisiness just because you want a person to have ice in their drink at all costs. Are you dense?
Clearly, the one of the few acceptable times where it's ok to move the goalposts. 😊
_(rimshot)_
Re: ice in drinks, if yhou use lots if ice it keeps the drink cold and melts slowly, and since the ice takes up space the drink will be stronger (tasting)
Personally, if I had been the OP in that story about time cards, I would have helped the boss with his five minute problem and then either A) sat around for the other 10 minutes to make the 15 minute minimum or B) clocked it as 15 minutes when I filled out my time card, since it had to be filled in in 15 minute blocks, and I couldn't be dishonest about my working hours.
I lowkey wish rslash said pominoes dizza cause it was a funny writing choice from the OP
How long is wanting to save up enough cash to buy a brand new car in cash at the dealership out of a backpack. I will wear the grungiest nastiest clothes that I have, then add an extra thousand dollars on for commission for the one call salesman who will look past that crap. But it’s probably just a pipe dream because I don’t know any salesman that would go out of their way for someone who looks poor. So it might be an unwinnable, mission
Story 2: naybers like this piss me off sometimes, they're basically busybodies who got kicked of the HOA board and was forced to move, and they always escalate to the extreme
Good morning CZcams hope your Saturdays are going well
Thanks man
Story 4: I thought OP was gpnna say, "Here at Dominos Pizza, We ALWAYS deliver!" haha
