what's up guys welcome to daily dose of Reddit this is your host Zach and today's subreddit desire slash I don't work your lady this story is called do you know who I am and you're fired until they realize their terrible mistake firstly this didn't happen to me I was with the person when they received a phone call about this issue then he explained it all to me he's not on Reddit so I'm sharing it it's Priceless names change to protect identities listed buildings important to the story in the UK there is a system for preserving ancient and important buildings if a building has historical importance it is known as a listed building and the rules about how it's developed maintained and improved are very strict I need to be vague about the work involved otherwise it's too easy to identify the parties involved my friend David is skilled in a very Niche area of construction he repairs and renovates buildings using a very old construction method that hasn't been common for several several centuries all his work is on conservation projects and listed buildings work was required on a grade one listed property the overall building work was being done by my main contractor ACC LTD one part of the work is very specialized the contractor's managers didn't know anyone who did it so the architect gave them a list of qualified people the contractors chose my friend because he had the earliest availability five days into the work the owner of accltd the main contractor company arrived on site he was throwing his weight around and being a noisy gab dookie David's words David was just doing his job and ignored him noisy gobduki told one of his Carpenters to get him a coffee the carpenter disappeared noisy Gob dookie continued wandering and gobbing off about delays costing him a fortune 15 minutes after the carpenter had disappeared the noisy Gob dookie he asked my friend a question where's that freaking chippy with my coffee chippy equals Carpenter don't know go and find out I'm only here for this job pointing to the walls I don't work for accltd I Don't Give a flick whether you're an employee or subcontractor you still work for me now go and find my freaking coffee firstly I don't appreciate being doggedy like that and secondly my contract with you is to do these walls nothing more I'm definitely not a gopher oh you don't appreciate being talked to like that do you which subcontractor do you work for none I'm self-employed it's just me a freaking day laborer and you've got the nerve to talk to me like that do you know who I am yep well you freaking fire get off the freaking site now okay put it in writing or half off just get off the freaking site David pulled his phone out and started recording okay I'll go I just want proof you told me to go noisy Gob dookie grabbed David's hand holding the phone and screamed into the phone get off the site you freaking idiot you're fired if you're still here in 10 freaking minutes I'll have you freaking thrown out cool no problem he picked up all his kit and walked away as he was leaving the contractor site manager passed him ironically with a coffee for the boss and with a smile said you're leaving early Dave bloody part-timers joking no your boss just fired me our contract has ended sorry mate no no no no no no let me sort this out wait please please wait David left the site manager was losing his crap because he knew something that noisy Gob dookie didn't only seven people in the UK are qualified to do the work they all have a waiting list and David had been the only one available by the time he was home he had 12 missed calls that was Thursday two working days to miss so far he said he'll go back but only if he gets paid for the extra days and has a genuine apology in person from the boss I met my friend when he was getting a call from the site manager saying the boss apologizes but is out of the country so can't apologize face to face David also told me he phoned the other specialist to warn them but they'd all been phoned on Friday begging them to do the job nobody took the work they're all booked solid David also phoned the architect to warn him situations like this some unscrupulous contractors try to bodge the job and fake the work David is going to stick to his guns pay for all the missed days plus face-to-face apology he is sure he'll get it I've said I'll pay anything to watch the face-to-face apology update site manager phone to say he was told by noisy gobduki to threaten legal action if David doesn't finish the job David reminded him he didn't leave and he has proof that he was fired site manager phoned again to say noisy Gob dookie will upon apologize face to face on Friday can David start tomorrow David said no following the threat of legal action the conditions are different face-to-face apology before work starts added pay for wasted days payment of full contract value up front before work starts all that must happen by Thursday that's the last day he can start and still expect to finish before his next booking if he also works the weekends he has just enough time I asked him why he isn't charging a huge extra amount for the guy being a butthole he said it doesn't look good if you take advantage of companies when they're under time pressure not the done thing it seems that one of my friends is an 18th century gentleman alright this David guy he has a ton of my respect now like wow he he knows his services are in high demand okay and he knew to record this person saying he was fired and now he's just being such a freaking cool dude about it okay I admire this dude okay I want his autograph all right cool dude good job David you're a cool guy this story is called mistaken as Transit security so I take public transportation a lot every day I'm at the station near my house there's a subway stop and bus stops the station spans over a busy road with a busy mall on one side and more of a residential area on the other side that can be easily reached by a pedway that area is a little more secluded and it attracts a lot of homeless people and teens just making a mess the station has a single security guard who wears a bright yellow jacket that says security he's just there for deterrence if anything is wrong he can't even engage he just has to call police now this one night I'm standing on the pedway waiting for my bus like I do every day I see there's some people throwing bottles and being little jerks down below don't think twice about it since there's nothing I can really do security guard must be off on the other side of the same station since it's pretty big in comes Karen sees me wearing blue jeans and a dark red shirt pretty plain civilian look somehow decides I must be security why aren't you doing anything she points down at the people making a mess I don't know what am I supposed to do I'm not looking to get a bottle thrown in my head I know you trash security guards were a terrible idea wasting tax money on your salary and you just stand there and do nothing she continues to rant I can't remember exactly what she said honestly I didn't want to hear her BS I then interrupt her tantrum what the heck makes you think I'm security I'm not wearing the yellow vest or anything while I see you stand here every day you must be security then she starts ranting again something about me being on my phone rather than doing my job at that point I just walk away my bus was almost here and after a long day I don't feel like dealing with BS not a satisfying conclusion but I'm completely dumbfounded to house someone doesn't immediately conclude that someone wearing normal clothes and standing at a transit station is just waiting for their bus or train rather than being some sort of security I feel terrible for the actual security guard he's not a city employee so he has explicit orders to just watch and report but gets constantly yelled at by a-holes mad that he's not doing anything man I've said this so many times and I'll say it again if you're gonna criticize something at least make sure you know about that something you're going to criticize because otherwise you just look like a dumb jerk and Karen is both of those things very obviously this story is called are you deaf you stupid lazy soggy oily biscuit so I'm browsing the shelves at my local grocery store pawing at the bread to check its softness and freshness as if I'm some sort of squirrel going through the leaves for that elusive tasty nut when it happened much like a squirrel I was oblivious to most of it I only learned the full extent of the damaged caused by Hurricane Karen later I'm lost in the bread noticing differences in how each loaf feels while I squeeze them as if I'm gripping precious dinnerware I don't want to ruin the bread for anyone else but I need to know how fresh they are the dates printed on the plastic wrapping aren't always legible and this puts the decision literally in my own hands as I continue I hear someone shouting from some distance away but I pay it no mind people yell in stores for all sorts of reasons I hear it again a bit louder and think to myself I'm glad I'm not any closer to that person like the victim in just about every horror movie ever made I had no idea that person was already coming closer to me with vicious intent I stroke two loaves of bread one in each hand and am deciding between them when someone is shouting right next to me I honestly don't know what was said but the shock of that volume so close startled me like a house cat I naturally form a defensive posture when I feel threatened and I raised my arms and made a startled noise I don't like it when people come up behind or beside me and I don't notice I've been that way since I was a child which is a longer story than I want to share here both loaves of bread go into the air as I put my hands up ready to defend myself against whatever demon from hell has ruined this grocery trip for me this particular demon possessed the body of a gray-haired older woman with glasses who reminds me a lot of every stereotypical grandmother image you might see she's plump but not huge and waving a stubby finger at me I think maybe she's been scolding me for touching the bread I'll just explain myself and walk away no real threat then I was wrong as I go to pick up the bread I drowned because of her the witch does the needless and turns her own volume up to ear splitting and screams are you Daffy stupid lazy soggy oily biscuit that me never one to miss an opportunity to be a smart booty once my ear stopped ringing I replied with no but I might be soon if you don't shut up her eyes burned with the fury of a thousand Sons she reaches out and grabs my wrist my instincts kick in and within a couple of seconds I've got an old lady in a hammer lock just in time for a manager to come down the aisle she wails about the horrible employees at the store and acts far more hurt than she could possibly be claiming that I attacked her out of nowhere and her arm is broken it wasn't and she's going to be suing the store yep I believe I'm going to jail here but that was not to be apparently Hurricane Karen the demon Monger has caused a scene in the grocery store on other occasions this manager had been watching the video feed in the back following her every move around the store in anticipation of the Fallout to come in her wake she turned her gale force wins in his Direction still shouting about being mistreated and how what I did to her is worse than violation until the manager looks directly into her eyes and as calm as the eye of a real hurricane says would you like me to call the police for you she straightens herself and says yes but then just as calmly without taking his eyes from hers the manager says did you forget we have video again I thought you'd remember from the last time but we can check it if you'd like Karen demon lets loose a half grunt half Scream and Waddles away and out of the store faster than I thought possible the manager asks if I'm okay I'm surprised at the whole scenario but none the worst for wear still he offers me a Store gift card for ten dollars and I accept it why look a gift Karen in the mouth free bread for the win wow I really like the writing in the story um the person made it very easy to tell what was going on now I'm about to contradict what I just said but I have absolutely no idea what happened this person's stroking bread then all of a sudden she's attacked by an evil woman what okay well at least it ended well this story is called I don't work for that company lady I posted before about the building I work in but if you like me don't want to find the posts here is a brief rundown I work in a large building with many different organizations in it my company takes up two floors on levels eight and nine but our reception desk is on the ground floor in a big open Lobby I usually do reception two days a week but this week I'm on it full time because our usual receptionist is taking a much deserved break the building itself is owned by a private Health insurer and they take up seven floors and their reception area is also on the ground floor just behind me through some glass doors they have a giant neon sign above their doors with their company name on it but for some reason people never seem to see it and always ask me where the company is today they had some conference or something on so I had a fair few people asking me where the Terrace entrance was I had never heard of it being referred to as a Terrace entrance before but I pointed out the doors and signed behind me and told them that I think it was through there the operative word here being thank because I don't work for them and I have nothing to do with their company the conference is now apparently over and one of the women who asked me where the Terrace entrance was it just approached my desk I have decided to name her Karen for obvious reasons excuse me looking up for my work yes how can I help you she points at the doors and sign behind me he told me that's where the Terrace entrance was yes well it's not it's down those stairs outside and through a different door okay you should know better I'm sorry about that but I don't actually work for Private health insurer so I had no idea what entrance they were referring to I helped as best as I could well it's not really good enough I'm sorry uh what would you like me me to do I would like you to learn your job better it is not my job to give directions to people for another company I don't actually have to help you at all I could have easily said sorry I have no idea what you're talking about go ask the main interception area but I didn't I helped you as best as I could with what little information I had excuse me but it is your job to help people yes people who are here to deal with my company not Private health insurers I have no obligation to help anyone else Karen continues to argue with me in this manner for another few minutes and eventually I get sick of her and drop the professional tone listen lady I have absolutely no idea what you want me to do I don't work for Private health insurer I have never worked for them there are at least eight companies in this building and I don't know where they all are I only moved to the city a year ago and so I'm not super familiar with the area in general I'm stuck at this desk all day and don't really have the Leisure to explore this giant building I helped you as best as I could it's not my fault you're too darn stupid to find your own way around here I want to speak to your manager why she doesn't work for Private health insurer either and frankly she's far less patient with stupid people than I am she will agree with me that I have no obligation to help you in fact I have no obligation to contact her because you're not a customer of ours so I won't Karen stares at me for a few seconds I won't leave until I get your manager cool have fun waiting forever I leave at 5 PM you gotta stick around after I'm gone wait for me to come back tomorrow it was around 11AM at the time she stuck around for another 10 minutes or so and kept trying to berate me but I put my headphones in which I'm not really supposed to do unless it looks unprofessional but I didn't have anything playing through them and I wanted to make a point and I pretended like she was invisible eventually she storms off muttering about getting me fired yeah good luck with that lady okay so I I worked as somewhat of a receptionist at my family's hotel when I worked there and um I can tell you it was absolutely horrible because first of all I hate I hate dealing with phone calls from people I don't know it's honestly the worst and there's phone calls every day every hour while not as many phone calls as you know other places would get but it was a lot more than I was okay with and you know there's the jerks that you have to deal with all the entitled people and just so many mean people man I swear that job may be like a full-on misanthrope for a little bit and this lady I 100 percent understand where she's coming from don't be jerks to receptionist okay they have to deal with a lot of people and a lot of crap actually just don't be jerks in general this story is called unsurprisingly the couple shopping together in plain clothes aren't employees and can't answer your questions in the jewelry section of a big box store I was shopping with my wife life trying to figure out what type of jewelry cleaner she needed we were laughing and talking in our own little world while I read the back of each of the cleaners they have a jewelry counter in front of us but we are not in the counter enclosure where employees stand and we aren't even facing the counter this woman is standing in front of the counter and says something to the employee as my wife walks off to look at something having not gotten any type of response from the employee she angrily says excuse me I heard nothing in response again but it's not my business and I'm busy trying to figure out how not to ruin a ring then she says hey still no response from the employee curiosity got the better me so I turned around to see why the employee was ignoring her just as I'm turning I realize there is no employee she's been talking to me the whole time and now she's coming towards me angrily yelling hey I respond with a very confused and annoyed what as my wife rounds the corner to see what all the telling us about she immediately realizes I do not work there and says oh while her daughter starts cracking up at her and they walk away okay this is a good story because at least slightly restores my faith in humanity because you know at least she realized her mistake and went on with her life ah I'm like so many other people don't forget to like subscribe and hit
