hello my brothers today's choosing Vegas gives us everything from people demanding Christmas lights on someone's house a woman sneaking a child into a hotel and a middle-aged woman scamming a teenager to buy them food at a store isn't this world filled with just wonderful people don't forget to like this video and subscribe if you'd like to see more let's get straight into it this one's originally entitled no Christmas lights looks like I ruined Christmas so my parents have had a super decked out Christmas light show for the past five years at their home it's choreographed to music and they collect donations for the local Children's Cancer Center it's pretty awesome been on the local news the whole shebang this year in October they decided to move just outside of town and since they gave us a sweet deal my husband and I bought the house as our first home before they started packing I had told my stepdad he could leave it all up and we could monitor everything so that the show could still go on one more year in this spot before telling everyone it was moving next year he was positive he'd get it up and running over there so he took it all with he didn't the computer crashed everything was custom to our house not the new one fast forward to Thanksgiving evening people show up outside my place expecting lights like previous years some see there is literally nothing on the house and just drive away others have come back during the day to ask about it some are understanding and congratulate us on our house and we point them to the Facebook page to follow for updates others not so much I was getting the mail after work one day and some lady pulled right up to me as I was carefully navigating the snow and ice with my cane and honked at me she demanded to know where the lights were and when there'd be put up after explaining that the prior owners had moved and would have the show again next year at their new house she shushed me Shh no no I mean this house when will you have lights on this house we come here every year and my daughter was very disappointed when there were none probably never as you can see by my cane I don't get around easily so I can't climb ladders plus all of our spare money goes to my medication and doctor's appointments so lights aren't exactly in our budget that's ridiculous you have to put up lights go out and buy some not the cheap crap either you need a show like before I wouldn't bring my family next weekend so you better get on it asked then she backs up pulls around me and drives off I chuckled and told my husband about the loon after I got inside apparently just days before he had a similar conversation with the very same lady while snow blowing in the driveway we saw a car stop by the next weekend so he shut the curtains and pretended not to be home while she hammered on our door and screamed at us that we were ruining her family's Christmas apparently we're the worst because a won't spend medication money on lights for strangers hmm look lady if a family is generous enough to put on a wonderful light display at their home for free that's on them to choose to do it or not you are owed anything especially considering the parents who actually run the ledger have moved home their location is no longer the same so neither are the lights it's like she's thinking well we've always been here for life so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be here I feel like they should have just put up a big sign that said no lights go hey this next one was originally entitled but I want goes because this one is broken so some background information I work in a business where trimmed and smooth fingernails is required so we don't scratch our clients I use a small class nail file to get rid of those sharp edges everyone at work always asks where I got it and if they could use it so for Christmas I ordered some off Amazon to give out as Christmas gifts on with our story I put the files in a wrapped box with a hole at the top and a sign that said happy holidays from 3x monkey poop that's the reddit name but I kind of hurt that's the name in real life please take one coworker one catches me between sessions now those files you brought in are wonderful but the blue one is broken but I know what to do trade me yours for this one I like mine and as if you left in the box just start that one away note mine has flowers on it and the ones I got are full sized with one color yours is pretty and smaller than this one I want yours in Turkey work you should give her yours it's Christmas she doesn't want a broken one I bought enough for everyone to have one and have a few spares just take one you're not very good at this you're supposed to make me happy with the present this one is broken and yours isn't I have clients and I walk out I'm still hearing about how I don't know how to celebrate the holidays correctly from them please people if you get a free present just accept the free present I feel like I'm the person who talked wordly I'd get the broken one and I'd be too awkward to even say like how this one's broken can I swap it for another one I would just be like thanks and I would put it in my pocket and then I'd go home and be like why'd I get the broken one this next one was called no you can't have a Christmas holiday for free even if the child is already here so I work for a large international upscale package holiday company for the winter our biggest sellers is the ski catalog I work in the sales department so I'm constantly getting people asking for discounts or people saying that they have a travel blog and will review us so clearly they deserve a free holiday we are fairly pricey so none of this is hardly rare today I get pulled into the office by the manager because a customer I sold a fairly expensive holiday for was fuming I actually expected to be told that I had made an expensive mistake but instead my manager thought I would enjoy the whole story I vaguely remember that she had complained that it was too expensive and didn't want any of the cheaper alternatives she booked one of our more expensive resorts and told me she would leave the youngest of her three kids at home aged five as she'd be too young to enjoy it properly again not unusual to leave a child or two with the grandparents but I thought she must have been a bit mean to leave her daughter for Christmas as it turned out she had taken the youngest child anyway and smuggled her into the resort somehow staff at the resort became suspicious when she asked for about 10 pillows and another blanket after investigating this she was confronted and was told she had to pay apparently I had told her that it would be fine to take the child into the room I didn't when they checked the recordings and found that she was lying she turned on the waterworks begging to be allowed to stay due to the spirit of Christmas or whatever as she couldn't afford the extra child's price the resort's general manager eventually allowed her to stay but only she'd pay about 900 pounds which is roughly 60% of the actual cost which she did now this should be the end of this story but it isn't after coming home she sent an email to our back office demanding a refund of the 900 quid she spent as the whole experience has ruined her family's Christmas we said no I feel like this probably happens more commonly than you think but come on like if you're gonna smuggle a child and don't a lot of this stuff by saying hey can I have 10 extra pillows and some extra blankets that just screams like something suspicious is going on this one was called ruined her honeymoon I fly a lot and I have this annoying thing that makes me need to pee a lot while on flights every hour or less that's why I always booked an aisle seat so that I don't need to keep bothering others to get up for me especially on long-haul flights a few years back flying from Berlin to New York with Air Berlin I tried reserving an aisle seat but the only one available was a premium one I added almost $100 to the ticket price so that I can get an aisle seat this couple boards they were apparently on their honeymoon but for some reason didn't think to select seats in advance so they had gotten assigned with separate seats at check-in one of them got a free premium seat next to the window next to me and the other a middle seat a few rows back or the entitled be jams herself in the seat next to me without asking me to get up or move at this point she's already angry at something she immediately clicks the call flight attendant button and Huff's and puffs at every passenger boarding as if they are grabbing her potential seats as a flight attendant walks by EB goes full on with her honeymoon and that is not right that the airline didn't automatically place her and her husband together we'll give them both a free upgrade and that she demands to sit with her husband the flight apparently is fully booked no available seats and no easy ability to place the lovely couple together the flight attendant at this point being polite looks at me and says sir would you mind switching seats with this lady's husband I asked what seat he's in and it's in a middle seat economy row not wanting to explain the whole P issue in public I say sorry but I really need to be in an aisle seat flight attendant gets pissed I hope that pun was intended at me and she now needs to deal with it the EB studs talking loudly in a different language with her husband who's a few rows back huffing and puffing trying to make a scene a few minutes later and about three of flight attendants working on it while EB is yelling at them her husband as yet to say a single word to me she's moved to sit by a husband and some people are moved around for it I get evil looks from the flight attendants during the entire flight I pee every hour airberlin goes bankrupt not sure if this incident is related or is it having P paranoia on a flight is like bad enough I can't imagine having an actual medical condition that makes you need to pee every hour on top of that being pressured to have to change your seat just for these people because they didn't do due diligence and actually booking the right seats in a last story for today it might legit make you angry so just a warning about that this happened to me years ago but this story still gets my blood boiling and is too perfect not to share I was walking into the grocery store one day when this woman came up to me asking if I'd buy her a package of hot dogs and buns for her kids she was somewhere around 40 or 50 and hadn't I do drugs on the regular look about her I hesitated but said sure and told her to grab the couple items well I found what I'd come in for and meet me back at the checkout area ten minutes later she manages to come back with a cart full of crap but she just starts unloading on the conveyor belt for the cashier to ring up expensive TV dinners canned goods toiletries just all kinds of stuff it's important to note that at this time I was a high schooler working my first lowly minimum-wage eight or ten hours a week job and my checks were literally only about fifty dollars each so I most certainly did not have the money to finance her lifestyle I looked at her in utter disbelief and she just says this has got a few extra things shouldn't be a problem with a sheepish look in my head I was screaming are you freaking kidding me this is not what I agreed to and you're about to overdraft my bank account to the point of no return lady I may not look broke but I can promise you I am but of course in my youth I was such a non-confrontational softie so I just said with a hint of annoyance um this isn't what you asked for she starts rummaging through the car pretending to be deciding on what to take out then she has the nerve to start negotiating with me about what I will and won't buy for her well I guess I can put this back long pleading looking at me this can probably wait too but I really like these TV dinners he said okay if I just get a few of these and the canned goods and the toilet paper with the hotdogs and bread even without putting the majority of the cod back I still up spending an extra $25 on his stuff well I anticipated only spending $5 because she backed me into a social corner the line was growing the cashier was impatient I was too shy to put my foot down all the way doesn't seem like a lot now but that 30 dolls meant a lot to a teenage me back then it still irritates the heck out of me to think about her being a grown woman so blatantly trying to get over on a child needless to say I learned my lesson why are people like this so obviously this is like a Lobel scam like appear really needy all you need to help out my children oh it's just a hot dog in some buns like the cheapest food you could probably possibly have at a store doesn't seem too harmless and then put someone in like a really awkward situation it's obvious they picked a really vulnerable person too like a young person who probably felt really obliged don't ever feel bad about saying no to people like that because if you then have to spend your money on them it means it's not going to people who actually need it don't forget to like this video and subscribe if you'd like to see more all right I'll see you in the next one
