you do in this situation would you let karen keep living with you or not please let us know reminds me of the time you tried to kick me out mr reddit burglar calls the cops on the homeowner this story was actually told to me by a friend of mine and is a quick tale about how she turned the tables on a home invader at the time this happened my friend was raising her kid by herself in the suburbs of texas the area they lived in wasn't particularly safe with wild beasts of both human and animal kinds so friend armed herself and took some safety classes to protect her small family the years go by her kid is now five and there was a series of break-ins in the neighborhood so friend hired a security company to install security cameras around her home one day while reviewing footage friend noticed a strange man lurking around the house he seemed to wander around a bit and then wandered away so friends shrugged and carried on with her day nothing to worry about right turns out she was wrong a few days later friend was working in her home office and saw the same guy walking down her driveway opened the gate and entered her backyard friend realized the kitchen door was open her kid was playing in the living room friend grabbed her weapon from her purse and ran to the kitchen and got there as the guy calmly walked through her back door guys sauntered in looked around the room to see friends standing there with her weapon guy froze friend who the heck are you and why are you in my house the guy gulped grabbed his phone and dialed 9-1-1 help i'm standing in this kitchen and some crazy lady has a gun pointed at me friend was stunned but didn't put her weapon down while calmly telling her kid to go play in the other room and they stood there not moving while staring the guy down who refused to leave guy you're gonna get it when the cops show up jerk friend you're in my house now get out guy actually stayed standing there until the police came into the kitchen guy saw the cops and started screaming arrest her she's crazy look she has a gun on me friend put it down and started shaking this is my house you broke in cops stopped and stared looked at the guy you broke in guy well her door was open and then she pulled that on me that's not how it works arrest her for having that friend i have a license and this is texas you idiot cops arrested the guy who was still howling how friend didn't do it right apparently she wasn't a proper victim friend gave the cops a copy of the video of him sniffing around earlier in the week she never heard anything back from them so she figured he went to jail am i the jerk for setting up my ex-husband to look like a bad father when mai and my ex's daughter megan was turning 13 she wanted a tiered harry potter cake she loves the movies she was very specific in what she wanted i told her as gently as i could that i didn't think we'd be able to afford that and my ex took what opportunity to be the fun parent and said in a doting voice oh baby don't worry daddy will get you your cake she was all smiles and ran off to get her bags i told him if he was going to promise this to order it early because bakeries require advance order he got all huffy and said he knew what the heck he was doing and i should mind my own business i said anything involving our daughter is my business he said he didn't need my help and i should just handle the birthday party and he'd get the cake i said okay then they left for the weekend i know my ex he puts things off that aren't about him i knew he was going to forget about the order usually i'd pester him so he wouldn't forget but he said he didn't need my help so i decided not to bring it up unless he did but i did call a friend i have who started decorating cakes to order the cake from her it cost a bit more than i'd have liked but not as much as i'd been worried it would well he never brought the cake up again at least not until the day before her birthday where he called me frantic he forgot to order the cake and now none of the bakeries will take his order without tacking on a massive fee because there's no way they can have the cake ready unless they focus their full staff on one cake i was going to tell him not to worry i ordered the cake for him but then he says why didn't you remind me i just snapped and said he needed to figure this out and he better have a cake tomorrow then i hung up he brought a cake a plain white sheet cake with red trim and one of those print out sugar decals on the front of harry potter and his two friends and a wax 11 candle she was turning 13. he revealed the cake during her party so everyone was sitting quiet and megan looked heartbroken and tried to be nice but she asked what happened to the cake she wanted x floundered and i let him for a few seconds before laughing ha ha just kidding and then i went and pulled the cake i ordered from the kitchen megan lit up and everyone laughed and it was just one huge joke and the rest of the party went great but after everyone went home and megan was in her room x tried to lay into me about humiliating him and letting him look like a bad father and i told him the only one who made him look bad was him i think i was justified but some mutual friends think i should have just told him i got the cake to keep things civil between us am i the jerk edit i never told megan or even planned to tell her not until she was older maybe but she started acting very chilly to ex for a long while after her birthday party and when he asked her why she admitted to almost walking into the kitchen when he and i were whisper arguing the night of her birthday she found out he had completely forgotten to order the cake and the joke cake was actually the real cake he got her so she was very cross with him for a long time afterwards edit too to everyone thinking i purposefully waited to have him reveal the joke cake before showing the cake i ordered i didn't i had planned on pulling him aside before the party and letting him know i just went ahead and ordered a cake for him then we'd take in the big cake and leave whatever he brought in the kitchen but he showed up after all the guests had arrived so i didn't have time to grab him before he set the sheet cake box on the dining room table where everyone saw it and i knew everyone would notice us taking his short pink box into the kitchen and coming back out with a taller white one i thought on my toes well who do you think is the jerk op or her ex please let us know i can see why he's the x the guy sounds like a real piece of work do the work exactly how you want it done even though it's ridiculously wrong fine by me some background before we start i worked as a drone pilot slash mind surveyor for a man child using drones to take pictures of the mines creating a 3d model out of those pictures and then calculating all sorts of goodies for the clients like their gold yield and the amount of crap they have to move etc it's really technical and can easily go completely to crap if you don't know what you're doing and even if you know what you're doing it can still very easily go to complete crap i'm licensed and certified i've been playing the game for a long time now and i know how it works most of the time my ex-boss on the other hand didn't see he got his surveyor's license during the 80s by complete chance he was a simple miner who just happened to be in the right place at the right time getting a free university scholarship to become a surveyor because they had a few grants left over and called out who wanted it his hand was one of the ones they picked the second he got his license he quit his job and convinced an old retiree surveyor to throw in his retirement all cards on the table to start up their own surveying business he spent the entire time at the golf course and the bar making a fat amount of cash out of his newly founded self-milking cash cow not once did he carry out an actual survey heck i doubt he's even stepped foot on a mine since then he just invoiced the clients told the retirees where to go and collected a paycheck so time moves on work slowly filters in and as one does when they reach the ripe old age of 80 something the retiree decides forget this and kicks the bucket my boss's cash cow just died on him and no matter how hard he squeezed the only thing coming out of it now was dust the only other employee was this other guy who acted as his assistant and basically just carried heavy things for him he didn't have a backup so of course he hired me i was pretty fresh into the game at this point starving and basically homeless and in my eyes this guardian angel just descended from the heavens and offered me a way out he basically told me that we have to survey x site and get the data to ex-client didn't tell me how didn't tell me what data exactly they want heck he didn't even tell me when they needed to buy it he just pointed to the place on google told me to get there and to get it done somehow i did it i scraped by and eventually figured out just what the heck to do at some point we were kicked off of the mine for reasons that my boss didn't disclose to me and had to open up our own offices my boss graciously dug deep into his pockets kicked out his eldest son and dedicated that room in his house to our use now i was spending every day with the man since if he wasn't at the golf course he was at home we started butting heads he had this illusion in his head of how things work and how you're supposed to do things and i had practical experience and qualifications to tell me otherwise every single day was a fight and every single day he'd tell me how he wanted it to be done and i just turn around and do it the way it's meant to be done i started passing out my cv everywhere my timing was perfect though because a little blip and crash of the 2020 job economy happened right as i started searching the interviews i had lined up all got cancelled the people who i already interviewed with and who seemed ecstatic to have me suddenly didn't answer my calls i felt like a scorned lover waiting on the curb in the rain and my socks soaking wet i was considering maybe going back to i.t i felt hopeless and dejected doomed to a life of taking care of a disgusting man child and his fat wallet eventually though a second angel descended from the heavens once again saving me finally i could leave this place i was waiting on the contract not really willing to commit to anything without it being in writing when my boss and i got into another massive screaming fight after hour three something inside me snapped you want it done your way fine i'll do it your way i committed hard to following his procedures every step of the way surveys were taken three times longer to do the drone crashed four times my first ever crash and all of them were near write-offs the 3d models stopped looking like mines and started resembling potato chips and twizzlers he had clients calling him day and night non-stop asking him just what the heck was he doing eventually he gave my number to them so they could call me directly and i started getting calls day and night non-stop until i just turned off my phone outside of office hours clients were threatening to drop the contracts clients were threatening to sue my contract came in from my new company and i signed the dotted line with a smile on my face one client stopped calling and stopped paying word got out as it always does that his company is not legit and is just being run out of someone's home another client canceled the contract completely and threatened legal action i handed in my resignation my boss looked at me pleadingly offering me a ton of cash to stay i told him no he begged me to write him a manual on how to do the work to show him how to process the data to fly the pits to set up the instruments i spent the last two weeks there writing out every procedure he ever told me i needed to follow sent it through to him and walked away a few weeks later when he was scheduled to do a survey i was suddenly spammed with calls and emails and messages from him asking how to do this or how to fly that or where to find this data his manual wasn't working surprise surprise i don't know just read the manual my new company is currently picking up all the contracts he's dropped if we manage to get the last one i'm going to ask them for a bonus karen did you just assault me this story just happened about three days ago with me my godson newborn and my so close best friend we could be sisters let's set the scene paris target kinda chilly outside and somehow it's a bit cloudy so i thought we were gonna get cold rain during the time my bff came to visit i was in the midst of getting my god baby together to take him home his poor mom had to work that whole weekend so i told my bff to come with me on the way my god baby's mom asked if we could pick up some things for them from target sure why not we see target before we get to her house anyway plus i needed to get some stuff afterwards so why not get it all while we're there right plus one of my favorite cousins works there so i could see her and finally let her see my god baby from a distance might want to remember this for later on so my friend cash apt me and we go off to target so we get in target and i have my god baby in his little carrier unfortunately my friend brought the one that's too big for the front of the shopping cart so i had to put it directly inside of the card since cj is only one month he's too young for a mask so i cover the carrier in a thick enough blanket i asked my bff to get another cart for the shopping and now we're set now to describe what we're wearing everyone knows target's uniform is a basic red shirt with nothing on it and khaki pants bff wore a navy blue top with black flare pants and flats i wore a v-neck burgundy top with flare sleeves and strings to tie in a bow in the front with black flare jeans with some sneakers so we're shopping checking off things on her list and mine then i'm looking over on the list and on the side of the walking area so i wouldn't be in anyone's way and feeding cj at the same time through the blanket my little nugget got fussy and i noticed i forgot something for him a few aisles back so i asked my bff to put on a glove and hold his bottle and finish feeding him while i go get the item i go to the aisle looking hard because my glasses tend to slide and fall off a lot keep this in mind too and then i hear that classic sound that irritates everyone so bad it makes them want to bang their head on the floor that classic karen i turn my head and there she is pixie haircut sunglasses on top of her head with no sun inside tight tank top short shorts knowing darn well it's chilly outside and flip-flops i'm thinking to myself is this the caring uniform or something but i digress so i move out of the way thinking i'm in her way and continue looking for my item and she sighs and i can feel her staring burn through my skin but i wasn't letting up then she says it's hard finding good health these days everyone wants to be lazy i roll my eyes and put my head down saying not today please just not today i find my item and leave out the aisle now she's mad did i care nope and i think she could sense that then she starts y'all know how this goes karen so you're not going to help me me nope karen fake gasp and why not me okay i'ma try to say this in a nice way because i see you're one of those ma'am i don't work here i give you no indication that i work here no i'm not on break and no it's not my day off i generally do not work here now i'm going to leave and put this in my shopping cart so i can pay and leave the store karen stops me as i'm backing up don't you dare walk away from me i know you're lying i've seen you here before working you can't fool me you just don't want to work you will be fired when i'm done with you i'm getting the manager me looks her up and down yeah you do that i go back to the carts and my bff asks me what was taking so long i tell her everything from a to z and she chuckles i see she's trying to burp cj so i tell her to let me try i place the towelette on my shoulder and give him a good try i'm two minutes in and he burps and when i lay him down baby boy is asleep good shot so now we can leave but then i hear screaming and screeching my eyes widen and my head slowly turns to the right when i see karen coming down the wall area with a manager bff says is that her yes that's her so karen gets to us still screaming and screeching karen this is her she should be fired for not helping a customer and lying about not working here i'm a loyal customer i have rights me sir can you please tell her to keep it down i just put my son to sleep second i've already told the wicked witch of the northeast that i don't work here what part of my clothes say i work here and even if i did and was on my day off customers are not entitled to get help from them if they are not working but as i have told her i don't work here manager ma'am she really does not work here all of this could have been avoided do you want me to help you karen yes i want you to fire her i know you're covering for her i've seen her plenty of times working if something doesn't happen right now i'm calling corporate then from all of that hollering my god baby starts crying so i pick him up and i'm trying to calm him down now i'm mad i don't like when people disturb my son so i snapped me lady i told you to keep the noise down because i just put my son to sleep now look i got a hollering oswald and a crying baby shut up and move on somewhere like wow how hard is it for you to comprehend that i don't work here you're that embarrassed at the fact that you were wrong that you gotta keep up this image just so you can try to be right get away from us so i can calm my son down i guess all of that set her off and she paid absolutely no attention to the fact that i still had my god baby in my arms because she lunged at me with her arm in the air and when it came down it looked like she got me because i moved my face quick enough for her not to by that time my glasses slid off and fell on the floor and broke yep now i'm really upset those were the only glasses i had too and i had just tried to make an eye doctor appointment this week prior they're full this month and next month and don't have appointments to book yet i'm beyond upset then the ultimate happened my cousin so my cousin comes around the corner being nosy as heck and when she noticed it was me now she wants to know what's going on the manager wants to know what this had to do with her and she said she was my big cousin both he and karen looked at us and saw we looked so much alike it was no wonder karen had mixed us up we are two sister kids my momma is the third oldest daughter and her mama is the baby so the manager tells my cousin to calm me down because he sees i'm about ready to fight while he goes to call the police he didn't ask me if i wanted the police call he just said he was going to call the police oh that said karen all the way off she's kicking and screaming while he's pulling her to his office my cousin calms me down while i'm gently bouncing to put my god baby back to sleep the police came i gave them my statement my bff gave her statement cousin gave her statement because even though she didn't see it she heard it and she's a family member manager paid for the baby stuff and the police said they'll get back in touch with me over karen after he put her in handcuffs and put her in the back of a police car now letting everyone know yes we did have our masks on and only took them off to talk to the manager during the time i was burping my god baby i had the blanket over him i still don't trust germs i told my mom everything and she was laughing i'm just surprised my bff didn't say anything this whole time because knowing her she would have jumped in sorry for the long story am i the jerk for telling my mother-in-law it's weird that she thinks she gets a say on things relating to my daughter my mother-in-law is mostly a person who's easy to get along with but for some reason the lady has snapped after we announced that i'm pregnant we let her get out all of her excitement but didn't really encourage it she keeps doing this weird thing where she refers to the baby as her baby if i can be honest i'm sure it'll change as time goes on but i find the whole thing rather boring congrats someone who i just so happened to be married to got me pregnant it's really not that exciting or interesting and i cannot relate to women who never shut up about it it's like the only thing anyone wants to talk to me about anyway mother-in-law was over a few weeks ago and started talking names she told me to give her a list and she'd go through and let us know which one she liked or didn't like i asked her why that was necessary and she said oh you know just making sure we're on the same page i asked for clarification to that why we'd need to be on the same page and she started getting a bit cagey about it oh you know just one of those things gotta make sure everyone's on board with the name at that point i cleared my throat and said very kindly but firmly there's no reason for anyone else to be on board with the names we've chosen she got a bit upset at that and said well it's my grandchild my baby i said no she's not your baby grandchild yes but you don't think you get a say in anything involving her do you like you don't think you get any say in her name how she's raised what school she goes to how she dresses any of it right you know you're not the parent here right well she blew up calling me ungrateful for what you aren't doing anything snobby snooty the whole shebang i just got up and said i was bored with the conversation and went to the backyard to go read in the sun while she melted down to my husband about how i'm stealing all the joy from her and that don't i get that grandma is the most important role she'll ever play my husband told her to knock off the theatrics and go home and now she's going all over social media playing up what a victim she is because i guess now we're keeping her baby away which isn't true they haven't even been born yet i've had so many pushbacks from my family telling us we need to just get over it and learn to accept that grandma is going to be around and that yeah maybe she should get a say in some things after all it's her grandchild i'm at a loss here maybe this is some weird cultural thing we're in the southwest u.s everyone is some bland mix of white no religious stuff other than the usual fake catholic stuff am i the jerk edit well this was certainly a post i'm glad i'm generally not the jerk the claims that i'm trying to be edgy and not like the other girls are honestly depressing i didn't expect people to get so upset because a woman would dare not think having a baby is the most omg sacred beautiful lovely thing or whatever i hope those of you who think that it's a not like the other girl's thing can maybe get out there and explore what different women are actually like and not just the ones in your immediate lives women come in all shapes and sizes attitudes and personalities being one way is not a condemnation of how other women are being bored by childbirth and all of that isn't a condemnation for those who think it's a big deal or a miracle calling me edgy or tryhard is such a very reddit thing to say about a woman who doesn't behave the way you think she should best of luck to everyone and thanks for the kind words well who do you think is the jerk op or her mother-in-law please let us know i think grandma's overstepping her boundaries but it's just because she's so excited i do work here but not for you i work in it contracting and specializing quality control and software testing and this happened about 10 years ago i was hired by a company client as a member of their governance team basically we were to assess the company they hired big tech to create their software and their testing standards and plans governance teams are hard to utilize correctly and only any good if the person you report to understands client was my customer and alan was my boss from the company so they decided to change our role to working directly with big tech on their test teams to watch what they were doing and bringing up any issues to allen i am packing up to leave one day and big tech project manager appears out of nowhere and asks to have a meeting never spoke to the guy before but i knew who he was a bit surprised i asked if i could wait till tomorrow as the day was over and he said that it's one of the things i need to discuss a bit miffed i agree so we're going into a meeting room with windows where you can still see the office floor he asks me to look out on the office and tell him what i see no idea what he wanted me to say i was a bit dumbfounded so i said people working he nods his head repeating it and then asks why i am not with them and was going home and why i was not dressed appropriately for a client site and so unprofessional now i see the issue he obviously thinks i work for him and not the client directly i explained that i've done my work for the day and ask if he expects me to stay in the office doing nothing he goes into a long-winded explanation of how the longer we are in the office the more they have to pay intrigued i asked does that mean i would get paid more or is it that i should do unpaid overtime so big tech makes more money he explained i was a salaried employee and should be grateful for the experience i was getting with their world-class company i ask again that if i have no more work should i stay to charge the client more and what should i do while i have nothing to do he's getting a little frustrated with me and his tone is getting more aggressive and he said i should just look busy while i stay late that is when i said you aren't my boss i work for client and alan is my boss not you allen was the person he reported progress and billing to i was hired to make sure big tech was accurately creating the software and not overcharging the client you have just outlined how you are over charging and try to reprimand me for not taking part you accused me of being unprofessional and not dressing professionally my belief is that you are acting unprofessionally and it doesn't matter what you look like and your insistence of the appearance of being busy to hide in action illustrates this you also appear to be taking advantage of your employees and importantly you do not know who does and doesn't work for you he freaked out completely and started asking if we could keep this among ourselves and that if i bad mouth the company i would affect my chances of getting work in the future as they are so big explained it would not be very professional of me and that i would be accurately reporting on what was said i asked if there was anything more he wanted to discuss as he had called this meeting and i normally charge for overtime because i don't like being taken advantage of then i left the room laughing telling him he may have some things to explain tomorrow when i arrived the next day he wasn't in his office which was very unusual as he was there first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening i open up the calendar and look up big tech meetings and see pm has cancelled all of his meetings for the day i ring my boss and ask if he knows why pm is not in today and we should have a meeting he's up for the meeting but said pm has had some family emergency and the new person was going to the pm in a few days we have our meeting and i explained what happened he was furious he wanted the names of the people who were staying late and just surfing the net now i worked side by side with these people and knew they didn't have any choice explained that they weren't the issue but being forced to stay by big tech made them stay and that they were actually good at the work and realistically replacing them would stall the project so he decided to get the time sheets and billing together suddenly all the billing reports were password protected and they couldn't get in touch with pm due to the family emergency a lot of reports gone missing from the sharp point with all of the pm's name showing very late hours he asked me to try and find the information while he contacted big tech to explain what's going on as i'm looking through sharepoint i noticed that pm is still logged in and actively deleting files so i contact the security section to kick him out of the system and get backups of sharepoint go to my boss's office and he's on the phone with big tech and he puts it on speakerphone and tells them i'm on the call he explains that big tech can't contact pm due to the family issue so i point out he was just on our network deleting files 20 minutes ago silence is deafening from the other end tell them the files deleted and password protected now are all being restored and we would have them in a couple of hours more silence my boss then says are they concerned about the content of these files and why is pm logging onto their servers deleting files more silence i could go into the whole thing but basically piles of documentation proving overcharging the pm had been too stupid to understand the client's sharepoint was not his big tech sharepoint because you know they have the same name he was not having a family emergency shocker right and they were hiding him and letting him resign with a package now everyone knew what happened and you would think the staff of big tech would hate me but the opposite happened they were told not to do any more over time without three signatures for approval from the client it effectively stopped all over time and made them all very happy i've met many of them since on other projects they still thank me for getting pm out of the way he did get other jobs but was let go several times because of all of his talk of being able to get projects over the deadline he had no ability and would just tell people to work longer hours that is not sustainable and doesn't address problems with specification and design issues please come watch this video next you will love it
