r/EntitledParents - Entitled Mom DEMANDS first class tickets from family...

this entitled mum is jealous of this family flying first class not only do they whisper something nasty as they walk past but what they try to do next takes everyone by surprise happy birthday today's your birthday and on with the show i was a store manager for a semi-well-known woman's clothing store for 12 years i left retail all together two years ago this story is several years old and takes place black friday the company i worked at didn't really have any sales on black friday as they always had clearance markdowns every week as store manager i was required to be there at 7am when we opened i didn't get off until about 4pm that day i had closed the day before thanksgiving from our manager's schedule from corporate we were told that any overdue layaways needed to be put back on the floor wednesday night so we wouldn't miss any if we were close to making our monthly bonus saturday night at close so i put all over julie aways back there were quite a few as we had been extremely busy and hadn't put any back i realized this meant no one had probably called our customers informing them their layaway was due we always tried to do this but for some reason we hadn't done it due to being busier than normal for retail folks this meant that we were up 15 for the year from our normal one to three percent previous years anyways friday morning around lunchtime em enters she comes up to the register after looking around and says she wants to pick up her layaway i immediately recognize her as she shops at several of our company's surrounding stores i remembered putting her layaway back as it was two and a half weeks overdue i told her i was sorry but i cleaned out all overdue layaways wednesday night she went off on me she dropped the f-bomb a few times called me and my employees idiots you name it she then says i want my money back then in cash i'm sorry but as you know our policy doesn't allow for layaway refunds to be given back in cash it is required to be put on a gift card since when since the beginning of this year she said she wanted to speak to my manager i started backing up towards the store phone as i waved and told her i was the store manager she says for me to get my district manager on the phone so i called my dm explain the situation all the while customer is speaking quite loudly and my dm can hear her is that her yes let me talk to her i don't need to talk to her tell her she can bring her receipt showing how she paid every payment i will allow you to give her the money back with how she is paid otherwise she goes on a gift card okay let me know if she's okay with that and if not i'm in the next town over store i can be there in 10 minutes okay bye me to em so dm will allow me to give you cash back em smiles really big but you have to have all the receipts showing you paid cash em's face falls okay fine i'll be back i'm going home to find my receipts all my employees are looking at me like wow as i'm walking the store i got to thinking you know what i'm going to show her some grace i went and pulled her layaway slip found everything in her layaway and put it aside she came back with her daughter e.d about 20 minutes before the end of my shift she walks up to me and tosses her receipts on the counter and says there now about my money well i wanted to let you know that after you left i pulled your layaway slip and went and found all of your items they had not sold yet here they are but i want you to understand something yes we could have called you to remind you as i know you are a frequent shopper with our company however i want you to understand something you see all these people in my store right now about 20 or 30 people well my entire year has been busier than normal for me and my staff we've been doing the best we can this is only going to get worse the closer to christmas i want you to know that i did not appreciate being spoken to like i wasn't worth anything i am a human being and i have feelings if you cannot respect me and my employees and the job we are trying to do you can leave and not come back to my store same goes for your daughter she's been rolling her eyes at me and huffing the whole time i spoke i will not tolerate blatant disrespect for my customers when we are following our policy and doing our jobs i did not have to go and pull your layaway items for you but i did because i wanted you to have your items but if you don't want them my assistant will take them right now and put them back on the floor y'all she was flawed that i would say that to her she was quiet for a moment and spoke with her daughter on what they wanted to keep or not she turns back to me and says i'm sorry for how i acted you are right i behaved badly and for that i apologize i'll take everything in the layaway and we can just use the refund towards the final total i want you to know though that it will be a while before i can come back in here though i told her i understood and that i hope we can have a good employee customer relationship next time we meet i ran into her at another store one day months later when i was helping the store manager out she came up and gave me a hug and said she was gonna come and see me soon in my store she was there the next week well i gotta say most stories don't end this way with a nice little happy ending but it is nice to hear every now and then sometimes kindness can cut through a hard heart and actually can make a difference so my family and myself were flying back from a ski trip this is important now the day we left the mountain it shut down due to the virus now we considered ourselves lucky however there were people just arriving that day who had to cancel their skiing plans so we are just boarding the flight and normally they have a separate ramp for first class and economy this is important because it's how we meet ep so we board the plane first and take our seats now keep in mind that this is a five to six hour flight so the first class or cabin has 20 or so seats so after our zone boards the next one boards and so on until the entitled family comes they consist of a mother and her two kids that looked around 13 and 15 respectively as they passed they whispered under their breath i didn't think much of it until we were in the air one hour passes and i'm reading slash watching a movie and i see the 15 year old ek walk into the cabin she stares and looks around for a few minutes and then goes back i again just brush it off and go back to reading shortly after that they start serving the first meal i ordered a steak in mashed potatoes as the meals are being served ek returns with her sister they looked shocked at the food to be fair it looked better than most standard airline foods and walked up and down the aisle then a flight attendant told them to leave as they weren't supposed to be there another 15 minutes passes by and i see the entitled mother wandering the cabin alone and a flight attendant asked her if she was here to see anybody she said no and is asked to leave she then asked the flight attendant if she can trade places with one of the first class passengers and the flight attendant says that she can if she gets permission from the passenger she wishes to trade with now we have to understand that this is not normal she should have said no i'll elaborate on that later so she heads back to bring her kids and notices that i'm the only one that does not have headphones on now i kid you not that crazy woman actually asked me to trade seats now i could have said screw off but i watched this situation come to be and wanted to see how it played out so i asked her why should i give up my seat well our skiing trip was cancelled and we've been saving up for it for years and my girls just want to have something special keep in mind that the rest of my family is sleeping fifteen-year-old kid plus you're a spoiled brat you don't need it as much as ice loser i knew that this was too much for me to handle so i work my parents across the aisle what's this about we need your seats we've had a long day and my kids are disappointed that other kids can fly first class now my parents are the most respectful people i know but when someone insults our family she gets um ticked off we're not giving our seats to your poor butts i know that was harsh and mean but everyone was upset and the virus made everyone nervous and tense not an excuse but just telling it as it happened at this point most people are telling them to get out and the 15 year old says this big you have to be a coach that was the last straw for my mum she got the flight attendant and they firmly asked them to get out the entitled mother says the other flight attendant said it was okay she then goes on saying about how she needs this seat and how her kids will never get to go on vacation again because they wasted their money on this one she is then escorted out by flight crew three hours later her kids came back at the end to apologize but ended up saying how we were stuck up i responded by ordering an ice cream and calling them beggars now i've never personally flown first class but i don't really see what the point of being envious is to pay for it they've either sacrificed on something else they've worked harder or they've done something to produce more value than what the entitled parent in this situation has obviously there are exceptions to the rules and there are people in first class who don't deserve to be there but even if that was the case just because something bad happened to you doesn't justify your envy and mean that you somehow deserve the thing that they have there are a lot of people in the world who can't even afford to go on holidays so yes it sucks that you couldn't go on your holiday because of the government lockdown but maybe having a bit of perspective and realizing there are some people in the world just struggling to survive so for some background the car wasn't mine it was my brother-in-law's he is suing her for about 60 grand for the damages i don't know the exact car model but it's a muscle car and it's manual the characters are me vil brother-in-law sis karen mum p1 and 2. so it all started when i decided i wanted to start learning stick since my brother-in-law is the only person i know with a manual car i had him come over and teach me when the car starts up it does make a rather loud rev we made sure to do it in the afternoon as to not wake people up and try to be considerate anyways it was about the third or fourth day of him teaching me when she first appeared nice car be too loud for my taste but it's still nice oh thanks mind trying to keep it down a bit my baby doesn't really seem to like it that much yeah sure we've been driving in the day so it doesn't wake people up i didn't know anyone around here had a baby so i'm sorry about that it's not a problem just be quieter k with that condescending tone and smile on her face she walked off which kinda made me mad because i just thought it was a friendly chat it wouldn't be the first time people have talked to me about bill's car thinking it's mine i've grown to accept that people will think whatever so i play along and just tell bill about it later two days go by with no sign of her i wake up get ready and wait for bill to come over so he can start my lesson i walk outside and lo and behold she was there i thought i told you to keep it down sorry i can't control it it's just how the car starts and we're not going to leave it running while we're not in it that's a waste of gas i don't care stop being so loud with that she was gone it always annoys me when people complain about cars being loud a car is a motor vehicle with a combustion engine in it of course it's going to make noise bill got to my place and off we went we came back to my house to eat lunch about two or so hours later my sister and mom come over and tell bill and i to go look at the car the entire driver's side was scratched up and even a tire was popped only one person came to mind when i saw it karen we meaning me and bill walked down to her house which was only a few houses down and knocked on her door all we hear come from the other side is i'm not apologizing so this led bill to say then you better have a good case in court you be that's gonna cost a lot more to fix and i'm suing you for every freaking cent maybe keep it down then you heck maybe don't go keying cars and popping ties you won't get sued you bimbo this went on for about 20 minutes we head back call the police and get everything ready for what was about to come as soon as they got there we started to explain what had happened how i was learning stick how the car was showed them the damages told them what the karen said etc we were making sure our side was accurate so we made sure our timeline was correct after a while we walked around with the police to her house and it went down as well as you expect excuse me ma'am can you come out here for a minute this is the police wanting to speak to you about the car i'm not apologizing i told them to keep it down and they didn't they deserve it man what you did was against the law and they're pressing charges you have five minutes to get out here or we'll get a warrant for your arrest and come back nice try but i'm not stupid i know my rights and you're not allowed to enter my home without my consent or a search warrant that's only partially true we can't search your home without a warrant however if we have a warrant for your arrest we can legally enter your home and place you into custody she was stubborn again they went back and forth for a bit after the allotted time set we went back to my house the cops left to get a warrant and we waited currently the lawsuit is in order and the trial is in a few days she is in police custody i have never found it easier to drive a stick shift knowing i won't have to deal with her condescending ways and tones it's almost like she was so proud of what she had done she's like i'm not apologizing okay so you admit that you damaged the property you just don't think you should take any responsibility for it my assumption is that she would just lie about it like i don't know what you're talking about and just kind of play it off but she's like no no it was me i just don't care you deserved it and if you're worried about your baby waking up well i'm pretty sure police sirens coming to arrest you are going to do that a little bit of a backstory for this my fiancee who is 24 currently has mononucleosis or just the kissing disease he got it from someone sneezing too close to him i think yeah you'd hope so it makes the most sense for specific reasons it wasn't me due to the fact that i have gotten both strains of the virus only to exist and you can only get each one once my blood work also came back negative for me having an activated infection that's been dormant for 4 years now this is important to be mentioned however with my fiance he's in the top 10 of severe cases has a severely inflamed liver which has given him jaundice spleen is about two times the size it should be and his gallbladder is a bit inflamed this stuff is all pretty normal but is just more severe than it usually should be so first day he got put into the hospital i've been up for about 3 hours as it was 3 am when he woke me up with a 102.7 fever and being slightly delirious from the fever his mum calls me and while he's getting a ct scan i explained to her his test results and that he's positive for mono i explained to her what it is and she automatically assumes it's my fault i explained to her with basic science that this had nothing to do with me she threatens me saying if anything bad happens to him me and her are gonna have serious issues because it's your fault he's in the hospital this happened to set off my severe ptsd and i ended up in the hospital too due to a severe panic attack and complex migraine caused by what she was saying to me due to the virus however in the hospital you're only able to have one visitor a day if you've been admitted and such my fiancee asked and basically pleaded for me to be there the next day at the hospital because he has a tremendous fear of the hospital and his anxiety was elevated severely i help him a lot in dealing with anxiety as i'm like his comfort human to him which always makes me laugh whenever he says that his mum however does the opposite she gets angry at the nurses for not doing enough even though they're doing the best they can and this shoots his anxiety up to high heaven he explained to her that he wanted me there instead as i'm able to move around more than she can because she has a broken knee as well but in her exact words she says i don't really care i'm going to see you because i can take care of you better than her so i'm only referred to as her never by my actual name that she knows very well i knew she was going to get ticked but i got to the hospital at exactly 7 30 the next day visiting hours aren't open till 8 and close at 8 all in the hopes of making sure he is ok i get there and we hear nothing from her for the next couple of hours like thinking okay she cooled down and understood she was being unreasonable and not listening to what her 24 year old son asked her to do nicely she then hounds the nurses every hour asking for an update on how he is if my fiance said he didn't want to give her any information at the time you could hear her screaming through the phones the nurses have about how she's his mother and that she doesn't have to ask for permission to know his medical records side note she's also logged into his medical records without his knowledge and asked him why he got specific tests done without him telling her and then proceeded to essentially call me a horrible person because he got his sti and std test done we didn't have any positives i just had a mandatory one due to my ob gyn requirements and he sort of said screw it and got his done too when he set up his yearly appointment she called me again the next day saying she's seeing him no matter what i just explain it's her son's decision not hers again he wants who he wants in his room not her i mute myself and ask him if he wants to see her he just sighs and complies but he wants me there the day after not her so the day passes no big deal as i'm about to head to bed since i have to wake up early i get a message from her stating that she gives me permission to see him for only this one day like cool don't exactly need your permission just need to know if he wants me there or not i call him to make sure and all is good now brings us to yesterday i get a call from his mum who says the same thing again saying she's seeing him no matter what my fiance however begged me to be there today because he hates it there i've been giving him some sense of peace and home i just explained to her again that her son wanted me there tomorrow not her this is and i quote from him she just sits there and watches the tv doesn't help me or anything and i can barely sleep because she talks so loudly on the phone i just want you there with me you at least help me out and support me she called him crying how i was being super mean to her and that i'm ungrateful and i'm the reason he's in the hospital i'm legit at a loss for words from this woman she's brought up my anxiety to a place i've never managed to avoid for quite some time nobody likes going to the hospital it's not a fun place to be and the one comfort you can have is having somebody close to you that cares about you there yes the mother seems really keen to be there for the sun but it doesn't sound like in the way that actually serves him the best probably in the way that serves her the best if she really loved her son the best thing for him would be what makes him feel best which would be to have his fiance there a good mum would know this submit your story to be read on the channel at voiceyherestories gmail.com and join our boise veteran community at voicey here don't
