This happened many many years ago, at a chain store not really well known. Theres only about (at the time) 30 stores mostly in and around Toronto Ontario.

I was working the customer service desk during Boxing day. Now, the store's policy is no refunds or exchanges on Boxing Day or the day after, due to Boxing week sales. Plus holiday return policies are extended for the holiday season.

Now, there were products like anywhere, where products are non-refundable for reasons. This particular moment has to do with a 3rd party cable modem. Once they're opened, they're final sale as there is no way to determine if they've been registered/activated.

Now, I've been at the store and started my shift at 7:30am, ready for the Boxing day rush, my desk turning into a check out desk for the next 2 days.

Now, this customer (of african descent, which matters in a moment) comes in around 1pm, product in hand and asks to do a return. I explained our policy that the product are non-refundable with no exceptions.

Now, by this time, I'm tired and exhausted after cashing people out and refusing refunds since the start of my shift. I'll admit, I may have been a bit snarky due to being tired. After refusing the refund a few times, he fed the line, "Oh, its because I'm black? Are you racist." I called a co-worker from the office behind me who was also of african descent and gave him a fist bump with right infront of the customer, as he takes the other terminal to help out with the line as I was dealing with my current patron. I looked at my customer. "No sir, definitely not racist." with my co-worker giving a bit of a smirk, knowing exactly how the conversation beforehand had been.

Now mind you, this next part I'll admit I was in the wrong, but in the moment, it felt so good after him calling me a racist.

Him. "Well, maybe you need to get laid so you're in a better mood." Without skipping a beat. Me: "Maybe? What's your wife's phone number? I'll see if shes interested." That set him off into a "How dare you speak to me and disrespect my family like that?!" and he demanded a manager. I called mine over, spoke to him in the office and was truthfully about what was said.

My supervisor held up our policy and had asked him to leave, not issuing the refund. The customer brought up about what I said about his wife. Supervisor: "I'm aware of what was said. You calling my staff racists is not appreciated either. You reap what you sow. He'll be in trouble, and you should be ashamed for trying to play the racist line. I'm not authorizing the refund and you can leave or I'll have the authorities called and have you removed."

The customer left, yelling we're all racisit and giving us the middle finger as he walked out the door, vowing to never shop here again and telling his friends all about his experience here. As for the comment I made, I had an official talking to in regards to being professional in a stressful moment. But afterwards, everyone had a bit of a chuckle.

so short story I am from east Africa and I went to an art school in high school.

we did practically everything by hands. we were given chisels and fucking shitty clay and some timbers. we even stretched our canvases on the frames by hands.

anyway one day I was carving for the exams and this dude asked me if I had saw dust for him to use in his painting. I didn't have it of course. but then he suggested that I find a piece of wood and fucking sand paper it for him to get the wood dust.

mind you sand papering by hands takes hours and that motherfucker "wanted fine dust"

I was appalled like wtf bro. why would I do that for you?

his response? : BECAUSE AM HANDSOME.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed. come on bro, am not gay but even if I was he wasn't hot enough to demand free manual labour.

what's crazy is that he did other girls work before his. I guess he realised that he too need to submit work for marks before the end of the term.

I wonder how he is doing now.

edit: grammar errors

Drunk Karen going 60 in a 35 with signs of intoxication doesn’t think that the police officer has a reason to pull her out. She keeps asking why and trying to control the situation.

I am still fuming a bit from this interaction I had the other night. So I work as a bartender in a state that’s pretty strict with their drinking laws and last call is 1 am. After a busy night at like 12:30 I had some guys come in. I greeted him by saying “hey! How are you doing? Can I grab your ID real quick?” (By law I have to check anyone’s ID who comes into the bar)

The dude sits down and goes “you don’t care about how I’m doing”

I paused since he said it in a super rude tone and I at first didn’t get what he was referencing so I then just said “oh I’m sorry I’m kinda confused, I just asked you how you were doing and if I could see your ID since…” and before I could finish my sentence he repeated himself saying “well you don’t care about how I’m doing do you?” (Saying it was more aggressively) I just responded saying “I mean I asked you how you were doing and I do care but I do really need to see you ID if you’re gonna be in here since it’s just the law.” He then took forever to get it out and as I’m scanning just blurts out “you do realize how aggravating and abrasive you are being right? You don’t care how I’m doing and what are you closing up the bar rn?”

At this point I’ve closed down one side but people are still at the bar sitting and hanging out and I then start to say “well one you came in here pretty abrasive yourself and not very nicely and yeah just one half of the bar back here I’m closing up it’s been busy tonight..” and again he cuts me off and says “we’ll you don’t need to have a fucking attitude and I want a fucking beer so can you accommodate that Atleast??” I was taken aback, I not only had my normal customer service voice on i was also in a great mood when greeting this guy, I was shocked he’d still demand a drink after just rudely and loudly saying this at me.

All I said was “our cheapest beer fine with you then?” And he grumbled “yeah whatever.” As I’m going to grab the beer he then goes “well look I’ll keep my mouth shut if you keep your mouth fucking shut while I drink this beer and maybe I’ll tip you if you shut up.”

I didn’t even set the beer down and told him “okay now I’m going to have a fucking attitude with you, get the fuck out of the bar now. If you don’t I’ll have you removed.” And as his sorry ass left he just kept repeating “looks there’s that attitude bitch! what’s your fucking problem?? I should get this beer for free at this point.”

The customers drinking at the bar were shocked at what he had to say and thankfully tipped really well and all apologized to me for even having some rando stranger talk to me like that. I am and was lost for words over how someone could think that I’d still serve them a beer and beg for a tip after being spoken to like that. Plus coming in before last call like that is like dude fuck off, If you’re gonna come in so late don’t be a fucking dick about it

EDIT- Thank you to everyone who has my back! Bartending is the most rewarding and fun job I’ve ever had so I appreciate all the kind responses! I get he was definitely having a bad day and took it out on me but you know we’re all adults and I luckily learned from a young age to never mess with the people behind the bar - they are the key to if you’ll be having a good night that night! - thanks for having my back again guys! And fuck anyone who thinks it’s chill to waltz into an establishment and treat ppl like shit and still expect to be served. I have patience but no where close to that much patience for that shit to fly - stay safe ppl

First of, English is not my first language, so forgive me grammar police. I also made some rough translation in some of the thing I said. It may not be perfect, but it is what it is.

Also, TL;DR below.

For background, I'm a courier and I live in Samarinda, Indonesia.

I recently dropped off a package to a customers place and ran across a homeless begar of a woman in a green pajamas, a bit dirty and ripped. I was loading another package, then she showed up, asking for money. The thing is, I would give it to her. But I do not have physical cash! All my cash are on my phone through cashapp. When I decline, she keep insisting I gave her money. When I told her I don't have any money, she again pressured me.

I got pissed off and said in Indonesia as she blocked my path in an angry tone, "TOLONG LEWAT DULU, MBAK!/Please move, lady!" I went to my bike and she called me "Kamu bangsat! Sok-nya ngak punya duit!/You greedy lying, son of a bitch!". I don't wanna make a scene, I just turn my bike on and shake my head and she continue rambling like I'm an asshole. I didn't say a word to her, then she chased me after I took off. I know this, because I saw her from my side mirror.

You might asked, "why didn't I fucking paid her with any cashapp?". I mean, HOW?! The woman is homeless, she has no phone and I have no cash in me. I'm broke AF and I only use cashapp to buy food for breakfast and dinner. I'm a minimum wage guy, I had bills to pay, electricity, water, fucking internet even.

Problem is that this homeless begar still roamed around the area that I'm dropping package of. Even my friend who delivered there always cross path with the begar and she can get violent and act like an asshole, even when you try to be polite. These people are fucking impossible!

TL;DR:

Rude homeless begar keep forcing me to give her cash. I don't have any physical cash and when I asked her to move out the way, she got pissed off and chased me.

Was at work. Had a customer come by and ask for out 2pc baked chicken combo meal. (Breast and wing.) W/Mac and cheese.

First they bluntly asked for a sample of our Mac. (no greeting! :( ) Because apparently last time they didn't like it, and said they would throw it out if they didn't like it again. (Weird to tell me this, but okay.)

We were currently out of breasts and wings so I offered an accommodation and said they could get 2 thighs and a leg. Since our thighs were rather small in the current batch. They then asked I replace the leg they got with ANOTHER thigh because the leg they got was 'too small' (It was normal sized.) I declined because I have already let her sample our Mac and gave her an extra piece of chicken already. And there is only so much I'm allowed to do.

She got all pissy with me then said she would get her chicken somewhere else. She later came back with someone from the front desk and I was forced to give her that extra piece of chicken. Front desk lady understood that they were in the wrong after some explaining, but the fact that people can be so rude and take advantage of people who are trying to accommodate and give good service is infuriating.

Now this lady is going to continue on thinking she has the right to treat people like this. 🤣 😓

In a lifetime of entitled behavior from my aunts and uncles, this one may take the cake.

One of my uncles, Travis, is looking to buy a home. He mentioned this to me a couple of weeks ago and was asking about the process. I suggested that he and his family get their funds together sooner than later. By this I meant getting the money he is owed by my other two uncles, Randy and George. Figured they may have some other questions once they get more into the process, and did not think any more on it.

For background, Randy and George owe Travis money because Travis gave them money as a downpayment on a house they were all supposed to own together. Travis and Randy’s family were supposed to live there which they did for a time. Travis’ family moved out due to size limitations, but were apparently paying rent there. Why it made sense to them to pay rent while having already put a down payment in and being supposedly co-owners, I don’t know. I told Travis when this all happened that he should be careful and make sure he is covered legally. He did not do that. Once he moved out, Randy and George rented out the now vacant second unit. Randy pretty much lives for free while George didn’t have to put any money in to get ownership of a house. Randy and George were supposed to pay Travis back for his down payment. It has been 4-5 years since then.

The other night, Travis called me. Starts off with small talk and then he eventually mentions buying a home again. So I ask if he has some kind of question about it for me. He says he does and he wants to know if I would sign on as “support” on the loan and help with the down payment. So co-signing and providing a downpayment for a home I have no interest in buying or managing with someone. Travis said he spoke to Randy and George about getting his money. They told him they needed some time, but to talk to me about providing support for the loan in the meantime. 

Thought I heard wrong so asked him to confirm for me that instead of getting money from his brothers that owed him, he was once again listening to their “advice” by coming to me to cosign on a loan and give him money for a house. Told him, no. This is not something I want to do and then said I had to go before hanging up. 

Could not believe the damn gall to even ask this. Just reinforces why I continue to keep my distance with certain family members.

Hi Fellow Redditors. Just wanted to share. Yesterday flew in from Denver to Milwaukee. Our plane was sitting at the terminal waiting to taxi back and waiting and waiting. Why you ask? Well they announced at least twice (could have been even more than that) for passengers to put their phones and laptops in airplane mode and stow them. A gentlemen two rows in front of me was on his phone.

The flight attendant noticed he was on his phone in the middle of a call and politely requested he end his call so we could progress to take off. The guy waved off the flight attendant. The flight attendant again politely asked him to end his call and stood right over him until he ended his call. Then the flight attendant thanked him, motioned to another staff it was off (so we could finally now take off), and walked away. The entitled gentlemen then began ranting calling the flight attendant rude rather loudly.

After witnessing all of this since it was loud enough to be heard two rows back, I turned to my seat mate and discussed what happened. I really was amazed this guy thought he was more important than the rest of the more than 100+ of us on this plane that we had to all wait just for him to finish his phone call. I stated to my seat mate "I vote him off the island first!". My seat mate replied without missing a beat "I second this vote!".

I want to thank all the hard working flight attendants who really are so polite and respectful, and very decent human beings. I'm sorry you have to put up with jerks like that but please know the rest of us appreciate your kindness while we are flying. Thank you for listening to my rant.

So, one of my good friends has this roommate who genuinely thinks the whole world revolves around her. She barely helps out with rent on time, never cleans up after herself, and just invites people over at all hours like she owns the place. My friend (who’s honestly a saint) has been putting up with it for months but recently vented to me about how bad it’s gotten.

The craziest part? Her roommate regularly takes my friend’s food, drinks, and even personal stuff without asking—just last week, she “borrowed” my friend’s brand-new makeup without permission and used half of it! When my friend finally confronted her, the roommate shrugged and said, “I thought we were close enough to share.”

It’s like she has no concept of boundaries or consideration for others. I feel so bad for my friend because every time she tries to stand up for herself, the roommate either plays dumb or makes her feel guilty for “overreacting.” Has anyone else dealt with this level of entitlement in a roommate? Any advice on how she can handle it without losing her sanity?

So me and my three sisters got this water bottle with how much to drink at what time and they are identical. Me and my identical have ADHD and Autism but I mask and hide my emotions because my twin need almost 24/7 attention and help so it’s easier for our parents. Once when we couldn’t really use our tap water(it’s safe to drink where I’m from) my identical twin(17) sister’s bottle got a bit ruined. It’s not something big and the top was just a bit loose. She said that I took it which I didn’t. That was a couple of weeks ago and I put paint on mine so it was easy to see that it was mine. Today I get a call from my twin(while I was at school) to her just yelling at me telling me I took her top twice. I never took it. And when I got home it just got worse. Both of us had a bad day and we both got to yelling. She told me stuff like I was the worst and she wished I wasn’t her sister and I hate her and a lot of extremely hurtful things. I actually sacrificed my middle school experience for her so that is not true. I got mad and said: “I understand why you didn’t have any friends until now!” And I realized I shouldn’t have said that but I was mad and my head hurt form her pulling my hair. She kept yelling at me about how bad I was towards her all the time(I do more for her than she could realize) and I just kept telling her that I understood why she didn’t have friends until now. She also kept pulling my hair and hitting me. I kept yelling until I hit her once. So Aita?

Entitlement is thinking your feelings are more important than the constitution.

For some reason this person thinks their feelings supersede the first amendment.

For those curious to what I mean. Filming in public is a first amendment protected act.

Don’t let anyone tell you that peoples feelings are more important than the constitution.

At about 4:40 in the video below, you can see the interaction for yourself.

Why are there so many adults who act like small children?

And why do they think it’s a great idea to represent their business like that?

Watch the reaction of the two men when she gets called out on her lies.

Always be mindful of how your business could be betrayed.

**Update:** Yesterday, I shared a post about a coworker who expected me to "share" my individually-earned bonus, claiming it was only fair because they had more expenses. I was blown away by the responses from you all—some suggesting I let it go, others (jokingly, I hope!) suggesting a slap. But most of you advised me to escalate the situation to HR.

Well, I took your advice, and as of this morning (Tuesday, 9 a.m.), I’ve just left the HR office. They took my complaint seriously, and it turns out I'm not the only one who’s had this issue with her. She’s now been suspended for three weeks pending further investigation.

Thank you all for the advice and support! Sorry I couldn’t reply to each of your comments individually, but I appreciate everyone who asked for an update.

I have a friend kinda mad at me because I haven’t planned her birthday.I haven’t even planned mine yet she’s moving off with me.Our birthdays are a week apart.

A couple months ago we talked about what we’d do but it was just talk.We were talking about going spa and a mini vacation to another city.Im guessing she was waiting on me to plan it the whole time which of course i didn’t do and now our birthdays arrived and im freestyling it and she’s salty.

The thing is we’ve only been friends a year so this behaviour has become more prevalent over the last few months.She expects me to book any events or trips.One time I booked an event and got my own ticket cos I assumed she got hers as she brought up this event.Come to find out she was expecting me to get 2.

She’ll say ‘don’t worry I’ll send u the money’ and most of the times she does but it’s like take some initiative.Plus sometimes she forgets and you have to ask her for the money.I feel like I shouldn’t have to do that.

Lastly I feel like she’s gotten entitled to me driving.She expects me to pick her up to go out.When I say no let’s take public transport or Uber she gets less excited and says ‘why can’t u use ur boyfriends or sisters car?’.One time she straight up told me she spent too much money on Uber so would rather I drive.She has no licence and only contributes to gas if I ask.Theres no offering or anything.

I’ve decided to just distance myself and create boundaries.

Hey guys. Sorry for the late update. Been so hectic with life and the neighbor that I completely forgot about my account. Don't know if any of you remember the previous post, I will post the link here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/EntitledPeople/comments/1fp3hes/entitled_neighbour_ask_for_free_bougainvilleas/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Also, thank you so much for the reply and advise. I read almost all of them and make consideration of my choices that I have. Before the update, I would like to answer some questions.

1. Why is he not in Old folks home? Because his whole family, and I mean ALL, 7 sons 1 daughter, 3 daughter-in-law, 9 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, live in the same house. The ones with family don't live there except during the weekends, holidays. Whenever there is any disturbance, ALL of them will be involved. So, you can see why people tolerate with the elderly man.
2. Authorities been involved before, but because all of them can look after him, he is healthy and mentally okay, it is out of their jurisdiction.
3. My parent just moved to this area around 1 year ago. And most folks that live in the area area old folks. Because my parent are still new, they don't really have a say in people that live there for generations. As in "We live her more longer than you and no one was bothered, why now?"

Since I answer some questions, on to the update. MY neighbor whose dog lost her teeth, FILED police report and planning to sue them. The meeting was mostly try to solved the problem peacefully. But because 1 of the son is a gang leader, he brought his whole gang to the meeting as well.

I think you all can imagine the chaos that was brought into this mess. The dog owner brought photos and video of the incident, including mine where it CLEARLY show that he dig up the plant. But they keep trying to play it down and make it not a big deal. BUT, the dog owner is not someone to play with as well. He literally says in front of them "Then this will be settle in court since you all don't even want to take responsibility or making compensation for the mess your old man did. MR.C (my dad), I will pay for your lawyer fees too. Let's sue him for both of our problem."

That's how the meeting goes. The son was not willing to take responsibility and my neighbor is not backing down. The elderly man hasn't shown his face since the meeting. I guess he knew he screwed up really badly.

Oh, and recently, he fell when trying to clean his cabinet. Hit his head pretty badly that he needs to be hospitalized for few days and stiches. Karma I guess?

At work today, I (Male, 19) got harassed by someone (Male 40s-50s) who thinks what he says goes. My job is that I'm a courtesy clerk at my local grocery store. At some point about after an hour after I clocked into work, I was moving a buggy to a corral to get more carts and bring them in. That's when, let's just call him Kevin, comes into the picture. I had to move a cart around him and his son (male, late teens early 20s) to get it into the corral. As I'm doing this, he notices a dent in the side of a truck. However, the dent was already there. He then proceeds to accuse me of hitting the truck, and went to tell my manager. A little while later my manager tells me, which I got cleared up because I DIDNT hit the truck, and even if I did, I couldn't have caused enough damage to peel the metal. I thought that was the end of it, but I was so very wrong. About 30, 45 minutes later, I was bringing in a bunch of the smaller carts we have, when the SAME GUY suddenly starts backing out in front of me. Since I had like 200-300 pounds of carts I was pushing, it was hard to stop, and since it was unsecured, some of the carts on the front came off, and I had to run to try and get them back with the other carts. Kevin gets all red in the face, and decides to park in the middle of the lane and start shouting at me, an autistic college student, saying that I NEED TO BE MORE AWARE even though he was parked in the middle of the lane, holding up the flow of traffic at the busiest time of the day, the dinner rush. I tried de-escalating the situation by trying to talk to him in a calm voice and trying to apologize, but I guess he took offense to it or something, and started shouting even louder at me. He then proceeds speed off and not let me apologize. I don't have any Ill will against him, but I really hope he does regret the way he treated me. But that's just how I feel about it, feel free to tell me what you guys think about the situation.

EDIT: It wasn't his truck, it belonged to someone else. He drove a jeep

I can never for the life of me figure out why people who are caught on video committing a crime ignore that and keep acting like completely idiots once the cuffs are on?

Her entitled behavior is obvious with the comment “you believe them over me?” Like somehow in her narcissistic mind, she’s the beacon of truth and righteousness. I just wish for once this person would just use their right o silence instead of throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child.

Here’s the video and judge for yourselves

https://youtu.be/H3nY22sstJQ?si=ddWssxcdHoj0nqaR

I work in a McDonald’s in Houston by the Second Ward area, where we get a majority of mainly hispanic customers, along with black customers and some white customers. All of coworkers and all my managers are of hispanic background, me included. This happened last Friday, and honestly I couldn’t tell if the lady was trolling with me or she was being legit. She came in fighting and screaming at someone on the phone, then asked for 2 McGriddles with both bacon and sausage, and her total came out to $12.30. She only gave me 5 dollars, I told her the rest was $7.30. She asked around to all the older hispanic men around to pay for her, and they couldn’t understand her or just refused, since it was 6 am and for some reason older men are always up by 5 am. She got really mad when no one paid for her and she came up to my face asking why we (Hispanics) came to America when we don’t even like black people and why even move to a black neighborhood. I was super confused and just told her to not start getting racist at me and if she was gonna pay for her food, but she kept going on about how we take jobs and how we’re all racist Mexicans. I am Mexican, but my coworkers were Salvadoran and Honduran. I got mad and told her it wasn’t my problem she was didn’t have money and was racist and asked her if she was gonna pay or not. She got really mad that I said that and pulled out a bunch of crumpled $1 bills and was like “Who are you calling broke” and I told her she’s the one telling people to pay for her, and at that point she just started calling me a bitch. My manager came over and told me to go to the back to cool off but the customer kept talking and I got so fed up I told her straight to get the fuck out, and my manager told me to go to the back. The lady left and came back when my other manager clocked in, and she started going on to my other manager how I called her broke, and when I told my manager what she was saying she just laughed. All my managers were saying in Spanish that she was a dumbass that needs to leave and obviously took my side, and even were surprised that I actually got mad. I know I could’ve handled it better but it was 6 am, I had just clocked in and I was running on no sleep with a bunch of assignments due. From what I heard, the same lady went to the gas station, which also has hispanic employees and picked something with them but they actually called the police on her. I’m not racist, neither are my managers or coworkers, so I don’t know why she started telling us that stuff. I wish I had said more things to her, but at least I said what I did. I told another manager who came later what happened and she said she was glad I stood up for myself. I’m just honestly confused as to why this even happened and why she was asking people to pay for her if she had the money.

The convenience store I stop at regularly has a drive thru area. People will use the drive through to get a drink or cigarettes which seems normal to me. Today I was getting a drink inside the store and a 30 something lady drives up to the drive thru with a list of 10 items she needs. I would never ask for more than one or two items at the drive thru, but whatever. The one clerk has to run around the store to get her items and ring her up while I am waiting at the register inside. I'm still fine, she technically got to the drive thru before I got to the register, but by now a line is forming behind me. The final straw however is when she hands her banana back to the clerk and asks him to start peeling it for her.

If you are physically mobile enough to drive a car, you should be able to peel your own banana.

So, I live in a townhouse with a small driveway, just big enough for my car. My next-door neighbor doesn’t have a driveway and has to park on the street, which is fine—except she’s decided that my driveway should be her backup spot whenever she wants.

It started off as an “emergency” situation a couple of times, like she had people over or street parking was tight. I didn’t say anything at first because it seemed temporary, but now it’s almost a weekly thing. She’ll park in my driveway without asking and just says, “I knew you wouldn’t mind” when I confront her.

The last straw was when she blocked me in one morning while I was running late for work. I asked her (again) not to park there, and she actually had the nerve to tell me I was being “unneighborly” and “selfish” for not sharing my driveway. I’m honestly at a loss—she’s acting like I’m the one being difficult here!

Edit: Thank you for the suggestions everyone. I think if this happens again I'll call a towing service even if it's a little bit hassle.

So I work at a company that offers bonuses based on individual performance. I recently got a bonus, and let's just say I worked my butt off for it—late nights, weekends, the whole deal.

But here's the kicker: my coworker, who spends half their time scrolling on their phone and consistently turns in work late, actually had the nerve to demand I “share” my bonus because, in their words, “they deserved it more.” They went on about how “we all work hard” and claimed that it was “only fair” since “they have more expenses than me.”

I tried explaining that we all get evaluated on our own performance, and that it wouldn’t be fair to split it. Of course, that didn’t go over well, and now they’re going around the office calling me “selfish” and “greedy.” Some of my other coworkers are rolling their eyes at this, but a few are starting to act a bit colder to me.

Am I crazy, or is this entitlement at a whole new level?

These 3 fat dudes have been trouble at my store but it was my first time dealing with them.

A few days ago the main guy was yelling at our head cashier for no reason. She was only present to open the bullpen and he was yelling about how he needs to get these trex boards. How he spends 10k and what not.

I came back from break and he was being assisted already by one of our pros. The customer told the pro a certain ASM would give him 15%. So he asked another ASM and they said they can try to do 10%. The pro isn't trying to risk his job.

The customer came to my register saying that he's supposed to get a competitor discount?

Me : what's the discount for?

Customer : it's competitor pricing

Like wtf does that even mean, our direct competitor?

Me : like what is it for?

Customer : its what that manager gives me

Of course I would need to get a manager override

I called my supervisor and tell her and she's just as confused as me. Because if it's truly competitor he would have the prices to match from an actual competitor.

The customer starts getting mad so i just ask if she can come to deal with this fat fuck.

DS : so I'm not going to give that discount since I was not aware or ever told about this. That particular manager has been on vacation for a month now. But I'll call the ASM we have currently.

The asm that was called never showed up and the guy was getting pissed saying how he has places to be and how he spent 10k like dude, I don't give a fuck.

Customer : can't you just put in military?

I was thinking, what? We don't just give military for free to people.

The pro that was originally assiting was noticing things were heating up. So he just put his military in to get that guy gone.

You can't just spend money and demand discounts. We have a guy who spends close to a million and is a lot more chill than this clown

Hi, I let my friend move in because they had nowhere else to go, this is a lot on me because I should have talked more about what I expected, I am ok with helping them out but I feel like they just expect me to bankroll them.

I have bought a lot of stuff because they told me "we" NEEd it, a lot of it yes comes in handy but we could do without it, I ask them what they want when i make my grocery order and so my bill is more than twice what it was when it was just me, but then they go and order doordash all the time but they say they don't have money to help out with expenses.

I am so broke and my car payment is past due and they're telling me, they don't suggest things for me to do, they basically just tell me this is what you have to do, tonight they told me to get cheaper car insurance to save money, they also told me that "we" NEED an expensive tool, well they want to start a furniture flipping business and they would need this tool for that, and they also said they're saving all their money to buy a truck because they need that for the furniture flipping business they haven't even started yet.

They work freelance and they had told me they were paying 350 a month rent in the place they were before so I thought they would at least be able to contribute a little, they have bought furniture because they said we needed it but again while it is good to have what is important right now is being able to pay the bills and that should come before anything else.

I have a fulltime very high stress job and we are very shorthanded right now, i suck at setting boundaries and this whole situation is horrible for my mental health. I just want them gone but they have nowhere to go. I'm afraid to try to talk to them, there have already been several things in my house that broke or aren't working since they've been here, I dont THINK it's on purpose but they aren't gentle and don't seem to have respect for my stuff. I feel like they think I'm just going to sacrifice everything else to buy them the stuff they want because they think they deserve my money and deserve to tell me what I should buy for MY house or for them instead of letting me decide for myself.

So short short backstory. My daughter (16) has MS. It's taken a lot from her including her balance and vision in one eye. She can walk with her walker but we're only up to about 250 feet. Definitely not far enough to make it through a Big Box store trip. So she uses the electric carts.

Okay so y'all know where this is going. Here we are walking/riding doing our shopping... When an older gentleman walks up and tells my kiddo she needs to get up and let people who need the carts to use them. I kinda smile trying not to let this go left but the mama hairs were rising. He then raises his voice and says she's young and lazy, so she should give the cart to someone else. I went back and forth in my head for a second on how to deal with this before I finally was like ya know what... KeyCaregiver Jr... Get up and walk over to the kind man. She laughs and does that. (Without a better way to describe it... When she walks she looks like someone who has had 7 shots too many) I then help her back in the cart... And my kid being my kid looks him in the eyes and slightly raises HER voice and tells him and see boys and girls this is why we don't judge a book by its cover. 🧡

So this happened a few years ago during Covid (I don’t remember which year) when I worked as a deck hand and lifeguard on a snorkel excursion boat. I’m a free diver and on occasion also spearfish albeit rarely. A little before Covid my friend who is a photographer added me to a dive group she is a part of. I was excited as I didn’t have many diving buddies and didn’t like diving solo so I thought I might make some new dive buds.

My partner and I live with his parents and his mother is super high risk for complications so we were pretty strict about Covid precautions and social distancing. I decided to join one of the dive days with about 7 other people in the dive group, I figured it would be easy to social distance. It was my first time meeting these people aside from my original friend. Before we even got in the water I started to realize they might not be my kind of people. I tried to meet people but most weren’t interested in chatting with me; they made a circle to talk and I ended up standing awkwardly on the outside uninvolved because they were almost shoulder to shoulder and I needed to social distance. I tried to be involved in the topics but it felt like cool story bro kinda thing and I just kinda stopped trying.

Well after that dive I decided I’d likely wait till Covid passed more to dive with them unless it was less than 3 people since none of them took any precautions. I’d still check in on the group a few times a week in case something small was planned and I felt like joining but most times it was larger groups or scheduling didn’t align. Since I was reading the chats I learned a bit more about this group mainly, that many in the group are vegan (they didn’t like me asking if anyone would like to join a spearfishing session), 1/4-1/2 were anti-vaxx, that most were either photographers or “influencers”. I did have a few good friends in the group but I had met them prior to the “group”.

I worked on the boat 3 days a week but my captain wanted to hire another person to work the other 2-3 days a week so I offered up the job in the dive group since I knew most everyone could free dive the minimum 40ft required for the job. Only one person was interested but scheduling didn’t work out.

The admin of the group, we will call Maisie, ended up removing me from the group without warning. I didn’t find out till I tried to find the chat and it was gone so I asked her about it. She said she removed me because I wasn’t participating in dives right now (I had told the group I was only doing 2-3 man dives till vaccines were available and/or Covid was less of a concern) . This was because most of the dives had been larger groups or scheduling issues so yeah I hadn’t been participating much. She said she needed to make room for people to join the group that wanted to and that would actually participate. Ouch, but ok fair. I thought the fact she didn’t tell me when she did it was weird but just moved on since I still had my prior friends.

Now, I never told them I ALSO run the social media page for the boat company I work for. And a few days after getting booted from the group I get a message to our company’s SM from Maisie. Is she inquiring about the available position we need filled to help us get more business and survive Covid?

Nope.

She wants a free half day excursion to the neighboring island in return for ExPosUrE. Telling us how her followers will be booking our trip and she’ll bring a boost of profits by promoting us.

Can’t say I was surprised, disappointed yes. I don’t remember exactly what I wrote back to her but this is the closest I can recollect.

Hello, thanks for reaching out to our company. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions, our capacity has been cut in half to adhere to social distancing requirements. This has led to our demand rising since what we could previously accommodate in one excursion must now be split into two trips a day at max capacity restrictions. You promise that exposure will increase our bookings, but without a contract showing hard numbers and an agreement to reimburse us if projections fall short of the agreed amount, we cannot warrant a free half day excursion for “exposure” over a paying guest. We are also short staffed and only able to operate 3 days a week at this time, limiting our income even more under the already financial strain of Covid. Local businesses dealing with these setbacks is widely known about and we find it in bad taste to request free excursions or products from small businesses under this well known strain. We can offer you a resident discount but that is all; we hope you decide to SUPPORT small businesses in this time however we understand Covid has put financial strain on all. We do have positions open to apply for if you have had trouble finding work and making ends meet in these hard times.

She never responded and I never talked to or saw her again. About 6mo to a year later the Covid restrictions lightened a bit for travel and our location was DROWNING in tourists. Our already high demand skyrocketed and we were doing 3-4 trips a day nearly back to back because we were still short staffed. I busted my ass and I made bank! I was able to save up for a big purchase a few years faster than planned and all I could think about was how if she had taken up the job offer, instead of asking for free stuff, they’d have a great job on the water AND be making some great money.

To preface this, it is my father's story, and it happened a few years ago.

My father was driving home on a one lane road that had several roundabouts. At the time, the roundabouts were still being developed.

Halfway around one of the roundabouts, a lady in the car in front of my dad stopped, blocking the entire road. Apparently, she was speaking with someone on the phone

My dad honked at her to move, and she flipped him off in response. As such, he honked again and yelled at her.

Dad: "Move your car, bitch!"

The lady proceeded to pull out a pistol. I don't remember the exact model, but it was bright pink and on the smaller side. She waved it out the window at him.

One thing about my dad is that he lives in a 2nd Amendment state and owns several registered firearms. He proceeded to pull out a 9mm and yell.

Dad: "Mine's bigger!"

Suddenly, the lady didn't want to talk on the phone anymore. She sped off, never to be seen again. Whenever he tells this story, he loves to end it off by saying:

"First time I got to tell a woman that mine's bigger."

This happened back in 2017.

Context: I have a non-cancerous eye tumor. I was diagnosed in 2016 and for the first few years, I had to travel to Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia to get it measured and make sure it wasn't growing or changing. My 82 year old mom was with me. This happened when mom and I were returning to Florida. Philadelphia is our hometown and we LOVE traveling there. Hoagies, cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, Italian Ice....breakfast at the Dutch Kitchen at the Reading Terminal Market. Ice cream at Bassett's. Fresh fruit and veggies from Iovine Bros. Yummy! I digress.

Mom and I got to Philadelphia airport with plenty of time to spare for our flight (2+ hours). We went through TSA and got to our gate. My carryon was a bag of food. Pretzels for dad, a leftover roasted cinnamon bun from the Dutch Kitchen, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, all our favorites. We get to our gate and there is NO ONE there. It's just her and I. We choose three seats at the front of the seating area for our gate. Front row center, baby. Mom and I sit down with the bag o'snacks on a seat between us. Again, there is not another soul in the gate area, not even a gate agent at this time.

Mom says (basically) "Gotta go to the ladies' room, BRB" and takes off. I'm playing on my phone, reading the news, whatever......when along comes a Karen, in the wild. And she sits down in my mother's seat. I look over, see it's not my mom, and say "I'm sorry, ma'am, my mom is sitting there." She makes a big, exaggerated show of looking around and says "Well I sure don't see her!" I said "She ran to the ladies' room but will be right back." Karen rolls her eyes at me and says "Fine! I'll sit there" and points to the seat that is housing our precious cargo.

At that point I literally laughed out loud. I said "No, you are not sitting in the seat between me and my 82 year old mother. There are PLENTY of other seats around here, you do NOT need to have any of these three that we are seated in." To which Karen says "I'll speak to the gate agent about this." And stalks off and finds a gate agent at another gate. Karen brings her back to our gate. Karen tried to bring her over to me, but the agent stayed at the podium. I couldn't hear what was being said but Karen was gesticulating wildly and I could see the gate agent giving her the palms down "calm down" sign. I have no idea what was said, but Karen ended up coming back over and sitting in the seat DIRECTLY behind me. I laughed again.

Mom comes back and I'm still laughing. She asks me what was so funny. So without lowering my voice even a little bit (your reliable narrator was not going sotto voce for THIS one!) I told my mom the whole story, laughing while I'm telling it and making NO SHOW whatsoever that I care that this woman is sitting RIGHT BEHIND ME. I don't know if she felt shamed or what, but she did end up moving to another row where she couldn't hear me telling my mom about what an idiot she was. Mom's like "What's going on?" I'm like (pointing my thumb over my shoulder) "See this one? She tried to take your seat...." so Mom and I had a nice conversation about what a lunatic she was. I'd move seats too.

(Interesting note: when the flight was boarding, we saw that Karen had, somehow or another, sucked up to someone in a wheelchair and was getting early boarding. She claimed to the gate agents that she was this person's assistant....seems like Karen wanted our seats to get some kind of early boarding. This was Southwest. At the time, and I haven't flown since this trip, it was group boarding. Karen must have had like Group C. Poor little snowflake!)

TL;DR EU wanted to kick AU out immediately after Grandma passed away but my Grandma is still alive and healthy which hurts my Grandma.

It's been years since I'm here again and I got another story to share.

English is not my first language so please be nice :")

So my mom (F58) has a younger brother (M57) that we will be referring to EU(Entitled Uncle). So as a background note, EU is the only biological son in my mom's family and as per our inheritance law, he will earn twice as much as his sisters with my AU (Adoptive Uncle) not getting the inheritance. Being that my late grandpa was rich, he already felt like since he is the only son of the family, naturally he will earn most of the fortune. So he slacked off for most of the time and ultimately became jobless. So for years he has been selling my late grandpa's lands to fit his glamour lifestyle and he did this all without consulting to the family including my grandma. My Grandma still gives him allowance for his daily life and his medicines. He is married with 2 kids and all of his kids education tuitions and needs are all paid by grandma. Until now, him and his family periodically come to our house to ask for money from my grandma and my grandma being a mom, gladly gives him about 1-3millions of my country currency per month.

My grandma (F86) retired from Police department medical unit and still got paid monthly from our government as a civil servant retiree benefits and she also rent out a lot for furniture factory and furniture store which gives her more incomes. This land she owns were mostly managed by my mom and my AU. so basically, since my mom lives with my grandma, AU's job is to monitor the lot and reporting to my mom if there is an incident or stuff that needed to be fixed. This lot is my grandma MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME.

Anyway,

a couple days ago, I accidentally overheard my mom half-yelling to my grandma because my grandma asked for more money. At first my mom asked if the money she gave yesterday is not enough, to which my grandma said that she gave all the money to EU for his medicines. My mom was pretty shocked because the amount of money she gave my grandma is not little. this is where I heard mom said,

"MOM, I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO GIVE MONEY TO SOMEONE WHO PRAY FOR YOUR DEATH! HE IS YOUR SON AND YET HE WISHED THAT YOU ARE DEAD SOON"

So after the incident, I asked my mom what happened because my mom hyperventilate because of the confrontation.

Mom told me that a couple days ago, EU comes to the lot and interrogate AU about the renovation (my parents decided to renovate the main house on the lot bcs its rundown) and EU wants to let his guest to sleep in the main house but AU told him no because the main house is basically my mom's territory. So being typical EU, he said "You'll see later when my mom died, soon I'll be kicking you out! I'm the owner of this property after my mom died"

he went to see my grandma and said the same thing but reworded. My grandma then told my mom about it and she was heartbroken because she can't believe that her son whom she doted by providing all of his needs able to say that. Any way I heard it, while EU intention was to scare AU away, but his saying of "soon I'll be kicking you out when mom died" is like him hoping for my grandma demise so that he can rule the lot.

Even if grandma died, the property is not entirely his. It will be owned by the family and ultimately be sold off and the earning will be split. I told my mom with the amount of property he has sold for his own gain and not grandma's, he should earn less if the property got sold.

I tried my best to stay neutral and civil with my uncle but my whole family know that I have no respect to him and wished he got his karma, but even with failing internal organs, he still does this thing... I don't really have much hope.

so for now, we just have to wait what will happen and this certainly will not be the end of my story lol

There’s this truck on my street that parks like a jerk, but am I entitled for being upset?

This Chevy truck parks right in the middle of two spots on a residential street. There is no room for another car unless they block a driveway. I’m new to street parking, so maybe I’m entitled. But it’s not like I expect to always get the spot right in front of my place. I’m just upset that I, and probably others, I have to park further away because they’re taking up two spaces. I’d be less mad if it was in front of their own house but it’s not, it’s in front of the one I live in. I tried following the lead of a few houses that put cones out. I didn’t even block the spot like the other houses do. I put it on the edge of the driveway to almost act like the line parking spots have. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe they just were misjudging the distance. That goodwill towards them is gone. They ran over the cone! When winter comes we can only park on one side of the street so that’s going to be awful. It already sucks when I’m trying to bring stuff from my car. I have my furniture coming on Saturday and I’m debating leaving a note warning them they’ll be blocked in if they’re there. But seriously am I entitled to think they shouldn’t take up two spaces in front of someone else’s house?

My wife (40) got for her birthday in September a greeting compilation video made by our daughter (12).

Yesterday, was my MIL birthday, and tomorrow my SIL (50) and her eldest son birthdays.

My daughter started making another video for MIL so asked SIL for a greeting for MIL. SIL asked my daughter to make one for her eldest and then for herself.

To be clear, SIL married with 3 boys, eldest actually studies cinema and more experienced in those things, but she wants my daughter to do it.

I'm proud of my daughter to come up with an excuse not to do it.

Edit: fixing story structure.

Update: My daughter made a video for SIL eldest, but SIL keep kept sending her videos to add to that, so my daughter told her "if the video passes 10 minutes the app charges money".

I'm so proud of my daughter.
