use of my truck a few years ago i had a side hustle on my days off my job had a rotational schedule so i worked two weeks on then got two weeks off i made plenty of money at my job but it didn't hurt to make a little extra cash i was in essence a tour guide but for the region i lived in i didn't have any planned tours but usually just took people out to see neat places that they would not know about or think to go to i was adamant about getting paid up front and customers signed an agreement that made guarantees to protect my truck from messes or damage never had any issues fortunately and people always enjoyed the places i showed them except for one family they seemed friendly enough when i was having them sign a contract and collecting my fee i should mention my fee was fifteen dollars an hour plus seventy five dollars thirty five if it was a half day this covered a tank of fuel plus paid for my time shuttling you around i also kept a cooler with free water and some limited snacks you were paying for my knowledge of the region plus knowledge about the area's history and such plenty of times i had customers tell me i've never seen so much cool stuff in one day you could maybe find something cheaper but i didn't care once money changed hands with this family the attitude changed they began treating me like i was a second class citizen but i had their money so i didn't care i drove them around to some of the most beautiful scenery you can find it's rare people are left speechless by these places and never have i seen someone not be impressed until now every place i showed them they just seemed disappointed one of the places was a ski town popular with a lot of celebrities not aspen and they were just like eh it's okay i can't deny i was a little offended by their indifference but whatever they were never outright rude during the day but were surprised when i didn't buy lunch for them as i said you're paying for my time food is on you but then i got back to town and dropped them off at their hotel and it got interesting the wife says you can just park in the back and leave the keys at the desk tell them they are for the smith family me i'm sorry what wife this truck just pocket in the back we might use it later me this is my truck i'm not leaving it here that's not part of the deal wife oh please there's no way you can own a vehicle like this it obviously belongs to your company me i do this job self-employed on my days off for my regular job i assure you this is my truck i can show you my name on the title young man i had just turned 30. if you don't do as you're told i will be forced to call your boss me you mean me i am my boss okay smarty get your boss on the phone right now i thought about just driving off it's 8 pm but then had a better idea i called my supervisor at my real job we'll call him dan dan has been in the oil field for 14 years and could be quite blunt good supervisor he knew what i did on my days off and even sent people my way a few times he answered and i just said one of my clients is demanding to speak with my boss so here she is and handed her the phone wife sounding smug i tried to tell your driver to leave the truck here so we could use it but he lied and said he owns it i could hear him yelling are you stupid i didn't discern anything else but i know he gave her a good thrashing she just walked to the window handed me my phone and said he wants to talk to you then walked away boss that fix your problem me yeah thanks dan boss any time brother have you ever been on any tours and if so we're at please let us know bridezilla karen ends up looking like a popper at her own wedding i female48 have known pat female48 for decades as far as i can remember she was fixated on having five kids and a picket fence dream life i slowly cut ties with her in college because she was an opportunist and i didn't trust her she is both manipulative and forceful her idea of cute rubs me the wrong way pat likes to walk like a penguin when she wants to elicit pity and she usually does this when she wants to evoke the underdog narrative i've never seen someone act so despicable and ridiculous at the same time i moved on with my life happily got rid of her for years pat eventually found me on facebook i accepted her friend request out of politeness pat has become the epitome of a permissive mother her five kids do as they please and she never calls them out she tried to force a relationship between me and her daughters and made them call me auntie pat tried to drop them off at my house uninvited her phone calls were insistent she tried to monopolize my time and she began to show up at my job i created some boundaries so she tried to find loopholes it was a nightmare my husband and i hosted a party for the community center not the real name new members the community center is actually a very informal initiative and my husband and i mainly serve the homeless population we prefer to help strangers instead of catering to potentially narcissistic acquaintances we don't mind lending a hand but we have encountered truly dishonest choosing beggars there are other services like one of the members who helps women get their weddings and prom dresses for free the community center location headquarters is actually a farm owned by an elderly couple there's a barn a venue and a very nice green field with an artificial lake and some fowl they charge for the use of their facilities for weddings etc but not for community oriented stuff pat had always been salty at her husband for demanding that she go back to work after baby number three in the meantime he worked three jobs she demanded he get her pregnant to fulfill her dream of having five kids he didn't agree because she was already nearly 45 and felt like he might never be able to retire she got away with bringing new babies into this world anyway her fascination with being pregnant comes from all the attention she gets she had at least one miscarriage in between each kid pat latched on to our group she never missed any of our activities i hated having her in my house but it was an open invitation that included virtually everyone and she was very active as an event organizer i didn't like the way her kids behaved we have a designated area for parties and entertainment but her kids ended up inside my room we ended up having to keep watch on them and enjoyed zero of our own party i called her days later to get my point across regarding their overall behavior but she completely cut me off and began talking about herself and said her kids wanted to come visit again and use our pool i never answered that i didn't want to say no i will not have your breaths over she also called me as summer was approaching specifically to let me know her middle daughter was bored and wanted to spend a week at our home i politely declined citing that me and my husband have to work and cannot entertain guests pat paid no heed her kid called me on the weekend calling me auntie and attempted to coax me by saying mom says you invited me to spend summer with you i quickly clarified and offered an explanation to avoid hurting the kid's self-esteem never mind her daughter just hung up on me pat's facebook also showed some red flags some cryptic rants here and there were visible along with friends comments and complaints on how she asked a particular person to watch her kids only for a couple of hours and ended up leaving them all day another of her friends criticized her girls night out because pat had just asked them to be patient and wait until she could pay back some money that she owed them yet she had money to spend on friday night outings i thought those very public comments on private matters or more like a cry of lost patience unpleasant things began to happen like the time she volunteered to wrap the x-mas presents for the underprivileged kids we all wanted to create a mix of less costly gifts with really nice ones surprisingly some nice and eye-catching toys and games went missing but turned up under her christmas tree courtesy of her mother-in-law's facebook posts no one could prove anything but it was hate inducing or the time my daughter called me in tears to pick me up after she attended pat's daughter's birthday casey my daughter had been ignored all night because she didn't gift her the expensive gaming stuff casey practically demanded my daughter did ask but i said no we would buy her a very nice and thoughtful present according to her taste so when i went to pick up my daughter she was sitting alone in the living room while casey and her friends stayed outside stories about pat and her family multiplied the owners at the farm community center decided to keep their gates locked unless they had guests or events because pat got in the habit of driving in whenever she pleased and it was either her kids screaming and disturbing ongoing weddings throwing rocks at the koi in the lake or harassing the geese in the yard or how she stiffed another soccer mom with a lunch bill and then pulled the struggling financially card or how other parents hated her because she created unnecessary hostile competition when my daughter turned 13 i allowed her to wear my grandma's ring it's not an expensive piece of jewelry but it's vintage and girls nowadays want to look boho my granny gave it to me when i became a teenager so i passed it on to my kid so she could wear it on her birth week it was weird that she became quiet and distracted after that she also didn't want to go to school and my husband and i became suspicious she never opened up and my other kids had no clue we went to her school but her teachers assured us nothing had changed in her environment my husband and i suspected that she was being bullied but our kid gave us no tools to support her my kid is very sunny and very compassionate she has never had any problems with other kids i called her best friend's mom natalie my kids bff told us what was going on casey pat's eldest and my daughter had become close i knew this and wasn't too thrilled i found the age gap casey was 17 not exactly inappropriate but i'd rather see my daughter spend time with friends in the same age range casey is very beautiful and a gifted student she is also very conceited to make the story short she asked my daughter if she could try on the ring and she refused to give it back she later claimed she had lost it but would look for it so my daughter was distraught my daughter kept asking for her ring and as a result casey shunned her and spread the word that my kid was trying to steal her ring some kids at school took casey's side so now casey just wore my kid's jewelry to school like nothing had happened if that doesn't qualify as taunting i don't know what does my guilt comes from not being able to get my daughter to open up and feel safe telling me the truth i talked to her and she burst into tears i was both pained as a mother and furious that some teenage jerk was doing this under our noses i went straight to pat's car after school i asked to talk as casey was about to get in so i grabbed casey's hand and asked to see her jewelry casey froze and she tried to make a fist so i became relentless casey yelled mom and pat struggled to get out of the car i slid the ring off casey has tiny hands and wore the ring on her index finger first pat yelled at me after i confronted her with the engraving on the band my grandma's maiden name she argued it was loaned to her daughter by my kid then she said she bought it i paid no heed i did warn them that i knew what casey had been doing to my daughter pat called me to tell me off she said she was trying to raise an assertive young woman and i had just messed that up by being overbearing she never apologized for her thief of a kid pat's husband hank is what can be described as a doormat pat wore him down to a knob he had no choice but to obey her to keep the peace she was a bully who actively withdrew affection when he didn't follow her wishes even in public so she got kids number four and five after a relentless campaign that included leaving him for two months her pregnancies were a nuisance because she expected to be treated like the only lady who has ever been pregnant she strolled around in a wheelchair almost immediately after getting pregnant and she would get very sick on weekends so her kids were often sent to friends and family so that she could rest pat systematically bullied hank she would leave town and take the kids with her poor hank would look distraught drinking on his porch or just looking really lonely this is how she got off the hook and was able to leave her job hank had virtually no voice so he struggled to keep the marriage together everyone liked him but hated her equally hank loved to talk to other people but seemed concerned that pat would be upset over time according to my husband hank began to show signs of depression and mental distress our friend lina runs the wedding prom dress initiative it's not complicated dresses are sourced from donations ebay trunk shows etc unusually beautiful dresses are retained so that more than one bride gets to wear them in some cases a bride will pay 50 bucks but most of the time the dresses are donated to the bride pat was involved in this lena kept her in because they never had any issues and her task was limited to just shipping the dresses out pat decided to renew her vows and her bridezilla karenzilla attitude became the icing on the cake for starters she bullied another couple into giving up their wedding date at the farm because she needed to renew her match her exact wedding date they were not impressed with her harassment so they booked another venue as a result the farm owners were upset because pat was already costing them money after she had successfully negotiated a cut in their raid because she couldn't afford it but will repay by doing maintenance work around the venue she never made good on her word pat became attached to a particular dress that was already assigned to another bride lena made it clear that she would need to pay for her own dress so pat played it cool and shipped the wrong gown instead she was adamant that it was the right dress despite all the notes on leah's agenda the other bride was truly gracious about it she was obviously disappointed but never made a scene what bothered me the most is that i picked that dress and bought it for 40 bucks at a garage sale not my money leah's money it was a vintage dress ankle length white with lots of lace and a huge bargain again when confronted pat did a casey and used the this is mine strategy we felt so bad for the other bride that we did our best to get her something nice to wear the other bride was a true fighter she had pulled out of welfare earned her high school diploma and was working to get on her feet by trying to earn her certificate as an acrylic nail technician so her reward was to have some karen steal her dress pat never admitted to messing up but just by the fact that she claimed it was her dress we knew lina never allowed her in the warehouse again their last phone fight ended with pat bringing up the other bride's past like it mattered and this conversation is over it's my dress and you are mistaken that was weeks before the other bride's wedding pat went all out on her wedding decor she spent way too much she hired a caterer for some of the food mainly mimosas and appetizers but the wedding invitation included a request for specific dishes for her sunday brunch wedding either she ran out of banquet money or was on a completely moocher model i picture the penguin walking upon practically asking everyone to supply her wedding reception grub and i cringe there is nothing wrong with potluck weddings in fact they can be a nice addition to a very cozy and family-oriented wedding reception but don't you need to at least be close to your guests in order to ask for such a thing even i got an invitation i told everyone i wasn't going because i was very uncomfortable being told what to bring and was probably expected to give them a cash gift on top of that some of the older ladies in our group agreed some said they would not decline in advance because she's a bully and they didn't want a confrontation lena called me the night before pat's re-wedding lena was there to close the saturday night bingo and pat was awfully friendly but that's what she does whenever things are going her way lena peeked into the garment bag and saw the exact same dress while pat was caught up supervising the wedding decoration the thing with karen's is that they expect everyone to suck it up or make their dreams come true or they simply underestimate everyone and think we are all fools lina is a very straightforward person with a so sue me attitude she told me that she would just ruin the dress after all it was hers so she could do whatever she wanted if pat wanted to take legal action and should things get ugly she needed to prove ownership however the dress was the same the marks inside the hem and the tags were the same even the tag numbers that were punched to identify each dress for logistics purposes matched pat had the dress altered with some extra beating and died to a deep cream color but it was obviously the same garment lena and i snuck in before the venue was closed for the night all brides are allowed to stay in a small bedroom for a small charge so that they don't need to drive in their own wedding day honestly the makeshift chapel was gorgeous i don't know how she paid for it but it was full of flowers and presumptuous details i naively brought in some ink to spill on the dress but lena said she wanted something more awful like a nasty surprise ink would be too obvious if she saw it ahead so she may be able to snag another gown from somewhere no the ideal thing was to have her trust the dress was fine so lena locked herself in a bathroom stall and completely cut out the back panel she patiently put it back on its hanger and zipped the bag we left through the emergency door with the back of the dress stuffed inside lena's purse i completely hate people who target and steal from anyone they pat and her kid calculate to be in a weaker position the wedding was scheduled at 9am pat called me at 7am but i ignored her calls i picked up by 8am both curious and wondering if she suspected anything pat was frantic she was crying that her dress was missing by half i purposely made her explain being annoyingly dense and continually interrupting like she does and stalling the conversation she asked me if i could lend her my wedding dress i said no sorry then she asked me if i would help her get a dress i was satisfied to remind her that the town's bridal shops were closed on sunday and the others that would open were almost an hour away the farm is already almost one hour away from our town if pat could get his shop to rent a dress she would need to try the dress on and get it steamed even if the dress was ready to wear it would easily take more than two hours round trip she tried to ask me to go pick a dress who would pay for this even if a shop were open and i brought her a dress it would add to the cost also these shops open at 10 or 9 30 at the earliest by the time they got it to her it would be time to wrap up the wedding because she needed to clear the venue by 12 for the next event she broke down and mumbled some stupid stuff i didn't understand so pat hung up on me and called lena instead she asked lena to bring her anything she had available lena and i ended up delivering the most outdated moss-smelling oversized dress pat's disappointment was a mix between angry and emotional she also tried to wear her knee-length silk bridle slip as a wedding dress but it was too obvious and it looked really cheap she tried to get her daughter to give her her own dress to wear with an open back zipper due to fitting issues but casey refused because she was going to wear it to the wedding the dress needed a petticoat to plump up the skirt which wasn't available so it dragged all over the floor and pat had to keep pulling it up pat walked down the aisle with one hand on her bouquet and another one grabbing her dress the dress looked limp and weird with the arrangements of pins they didn't show that caused the sleeves and neckline to pucker into messy rims she spent the ceremony looking uncomfortable and out of place very few people attended but that was not part of any revenge that was just how people reacted to her entitled attitude the dress looked awful the reception portion of the wedding had all this princely decoration a very nice cake and a bridezilla with a dress from heck i didn't stay but i was told she was so disappointed she spent her wedding sulking there was no dance no actual speech she had to change into a shirt and leggings because the dress was too uncomfortable everyone talked about how pat put on her flip-flops and walked around aimlessly until she ordered the ushers to start folding up the chairs within one hour of the reception so she practically kicked everyone out and the cake was never cut pat wasn't the same after this she was not as loud and avoided everyone i think she was disappointed that nobody ran to her rescue not even her family who came from out of town her husband finally cracked under all of the pressure and sought some help he was slaving away and coming home to clean the house while pat used her kids as an excuse to spend like crazy hank also had to do kids homework because pat never had time or never had patience she also refused to get a part-time job so her kids could attend an after school and get help with their school stuff therapy seemed to help hank because the last time pat left with the kids he didn't seem distraught he would be riding his bicycle and could be seen more relaxed while mowing his lawn when pat returned he maintained the routine but was interested in going out by himself and doing things for himself we began to see pat alone all the time hank was seen less and less in the same car and eventually moved in with his parents he filed for divorce on the grounds of emotional cruelty and i don't think he won instead i'm not sure of this because this is what i was told there was some sort of settlement or agreement that she would not get close or interact with him unless it has to do with the kids i also don't know if pat even actually suspected who slash what happened to her dress she slowly pulled away from the community center and became less active in social gatherings pat also removed me from her facebook as well as mostly everyone else from school and the center edit regarding my kid there were no prior incidents pat her family and my family were not friends i did see her often after casey's birthday incident there were no additional situations until what happened with the ring after that casey played the op treated me badly card because i physically removed the ring from her hands but i honestly don't feel i need to protect her emotions have you ever known anyone like pat and if so what did they do please let us know oh come on she doesn't sound that bad i'm just sorry for what happened to her wedding dress do you really want to discuss your grade in front of the class i was working as a long-term sub back in 07. a student who was never on time and never did any work was having a meeting with her guidance counselor this school had them in the classroom because of these meetings the kids were working on book work while i was doing grades for said meetings the student told me to tell the guidance counselor that she was passing and could move on to us history two next spring i told her i didn't want to discuss grades in front of the class but we could go into the hallway and discuss it there i had told every student before here the same thing though in most cases i just wrote their year-to-date grade on a sticky note which was usually enough most students had low b's to high a's the students were offered a time slot to discuss their grade after school if they wished until this student this was working just fine she had skipped the part where she was supposed to get her grade slip was late so didn't get the instructions and didn't listen when told afterwards her classmates reminded her that she needed her sticky note but she waved them off the guidance counselor reminded her she just sat down and the counselor gave a much put upon sigh and started working a few minutes later i get a mister i need you to tell her i'm passing this class well i have your grade right here just pick it up i replied no just tell me i want everyone to know how great my grades are apparently she had been bragging for some reason that she was acing my class also apparently her classmates thought it was a hilarious joke considering several were suppressing laughter by that point i don't want to discuss your grades in front of everyone but she kept insisting rather than coming up and getting the slip a mere 10 feet away from where she was working one of the students shouted out mister she doesn't care just tell her at this point most of the class and the guidance counselor started to get the biggest grins the malicious compliance the counselor added if she wants you to inform everyone that i suggest you inform everyone reluctantly it took another minute or so of me trying to say no i shared her grade me your grade is a two not 2.0 but two percent there is no way you're going to pass this class unless you and i come to an agreement about your schoolwork wait how did i get it too came the confused reply because you signed your name on all of the tests and quizzes and because you came to class on time some of the time but what does that mean mister with continued confusion or a really good attempt to play innocent at this point one of the other students chimed in you got the pity grade and at that point the guidance counselor hung up her phone having unnoticed set up a parent teacher conference in her office for later that week at that point the student was sent back to her desk for the next student to come aftermath it ended up being a long meeting four core subject teachers the counselor the student mom and grandma she had her meeting and was told by each teacher what she had to do to have a chance of passing their classes with only half the time left my plan for her was 100 attendance with no tardies late arrivals without a note making up all the missing assignments and then to complete not get 100s or even passing just complete everything and she would pass anything over that would improve her grade proportionally she agreed and then after two days stopped trying and eventually had to repeat the grade entitled parent tries to rob a coffee shop because of dropped donut this happened in 2012 so all details may be a little bit foggy i used to work at a famous coffee shop here in canada it was my first job that i had worked at since i was seventeen so at the time i had already been there for two going on three years about one to two hours into the shift this guy comes in orders a coffee for himself and a doughnut and juice for his kid my partner working front cash with me picked up the donut and as he was putting it in the bag dropped it on the floor i did what every normal human being would do working fast food i threw it away while my partner grabbed another apparently this didn't bode well with this entitled parent he lost it calling my partner an idiot for dropping it and began demanding that we fish the donut out of the garbage as it was a waste of food normally i'd agree but after a long shift and no one cleaning the floors by the cash due to how busy it was i wasn't about to give him a floor gunk donut i told him that it is possible it's in the garbage and regardless of it being in there i wasn't allowed to serve four donuts to customers that was fine he paid for his food and left now i was working front cash on evening shift the previous shift was run ragged and couldn't do very much as i said before it was about two hours into our shift and caches were just changed out so i knew exactly what was in the cache now not many people pay for six dollars worth of food with a 20 bill most people that come in only use tens or if it's a super large order they're card why am i saying this well this guy came back about 20 minutes after he had initially left this time not for coffee this time he claimed i had given him the wrong change he said he had given me a 20 and that i'd only given him change for a 10. oh really well let me check quickly sir if i did that's my mistake so i opened the cash remember when i said cashes were only recently changed well the way our manager does cash is she put a specific amount of money in there based on what we go through most twenties well seeming how we basically never go through them saved the odd time there was only one in the cash i told him that it's impossible for him to have given me a 20 as there was only one in the cash which was the one the manager put in the cash when she changed them over he didn't like this at all and left again normally this would be the end right nope he came back a third time this time without his kid it wasn't busy at this point so we were doing chores while serving the odd customer he walks up to the cash i look at my colleagues and walk up to him what can i help you with sir open your cash register and give me some money it was hard to keep my composure at this guy he was weaponless his kid in the car waiting so i chuckled and said to him sure let me just run that by my manager real quick you'd think he'd leave but no he stayed at this point everyone recognizes the guy my manager is upset because she knows that he got back the right amount of money he was told to get out don't come back if you do the cops will be called and we'll place charges for uttering threats this isn't the only time i deal with entitled parents and karen's though oh no i have plenty more stories about said coffee shop speaking of donuts what are your favorite kind of donuts of all time please let us know cream filled or jelly filled i love doughnuts not my job to clean your patient this was a few years ago but it's still very satisfying to think about backstory i was a 24 year old guy working as a mental health technician at a county hospital in arizona i was specifically trained and certified to work with teens youth adults and elderly who were a danger to themselves or others this included those who were brought in by the police and needed one-on-one supervision 24 hours a day it's generally very boring and easy because the patient is sedated and strapped down this story is about one of these guys a patient had been brought into the er by the cops for whatever reason and had been extremely difficult to deal with i had been requested to go to their wing of the hospital we normally only work in the mental health ward and monitor and restrain if needed for the hospital staff i was chilling in the corner of his room on my phone probably playing games when a nurse came in to check on him the conversation went something like this nurse i'm going to need you to do something more than sitting there in the corner on your phone me excuse me nurse i need you to clean him and empty his urine bag me nope i'm not trained to do that nurse listen i don't have time to deal with this you're going to do this or i'm going to get the doctor me do you see cna certified nurse's aid on my badge anywhere it says mht mental health tech i am not certified to do a cna's job if i did clean him and change his urine bag but something went wrong it would be your job and not mine go ahead you can get the doctor and ask him yourself nurse you have no right to tell me what your job is i will have your job for this she storms out of the room and looks for the doctor after a few minutes i can hear her voice just outside the room i go just to the doorway i'm still able to see my patient to hear her and see the doctor nurse to the doctor he pointing at me is telling me that he won't do what i asked him just because he isn't a cna me to the doctor she's telling me i have to clean him and change his urine bag but i've told her that it would be her job if i did something wrong doctor to nurse he's right he has no responsibility nor is he certified to do it he's supposed to sit with him and watch him to keep you safe do your job and stop trying to find someone else to do your job it turns out there was no cna for her area that night she was trying to push her work off on other people and i was her last attempt until the doctor lost his patience please come watch this video next you will love it and join as a channel member today and we'll give you a special shout out in our next video and to have us
