r/IDontWorkHereLady - He wanted me to OBEY Him

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 I work here but not for you this isn't your typical retail story since I work in construction but I think you guys might get a laugh out of this so I've worked for company two for about three years and our main job is putting down fancy looking stone blocks for high-end commercial buildings about two years ago they moved me over to one of the local multi-million pound houses because they needed more manpower the job was taken on by company one and Company two was brought on as a contractor for the outer block work and tiles most of the work was finished when I started on that site but the buyer was meticulous with pointing out problems so most of the jobs we did was replacing old damaged stuff the tolerance for all of the block work was one millimeter as per the contract that company once I for anyone not familiar with construction this is an insane main tolerance to work towards and led to some hilarious stories which maybe I'll talk about if people are interested a little more context since this is a private building and technically a finished house we didn't have hard hats steel boots or jackets on so nothing really to identify ourselves we basically know everyone on site by name two years down the line and I'm one of two people from company two on site enter the bigwigs one of the main reasons why this job was going so wrong was the fact that they had management for Management's management stuff got so disconnected that the site management didn't even come down to look what was going on and so they didn't know us the directors of company 1 came down to look at the job with some upper managers presumably to see how much longer this job was going to take I was just doing some grouting for a tile I just replaced when the Boomers walk in and demanded I go clean up a mess in the other room I presume they thought I was a laborer since I'm young looking and I had a brush in my hand they walk off before I get a chance to say anything I ignore them and carry on with my work since it's not my job to clean up after anyone other than myself 20 minutes later I've moved on to a broken tile in the room they asked me to clean out when the Boomers walk in on me they look straight at me for five seconds open mouth while I move their equipment from one side of the room to the other this is where the fun begins here's the cast off a manager d-bag director crappy supervisor site manager and me what the flippity dude are you doing I asked you to clean that crap up why the flippity dude are you just moving it to the other side of the room are you being funny with me kid do you even want a job I don't no you've done enough talking I've seen how long your brakes are just freaking move it out now look I don't work for your company I work for company too look I know you don't work for us but can you just clean it out and anyways no that's not my freaking job I've heard enough you're fired by this point d-bag director is red-faced mad upper manager you can't fire me if you want someone else from Company 2 you'll have to call my boss I can get you the number oh so now you're trying to be a smart booty are you get the F off site I just pack my stuff and leave I know he doesn't have the authority to kick me off site only site manager can and he wasn't there even on site but it's not worth the hassle all the while d-bag director is berating me on how I'm a terrible laborer I'm packing up my tools and he stops me from leaving accusing me of stealing but after I show him they've all got my name on them he lets me leave somehow it didn't set off alarm bells that I have masonry tools would you believe they meet me down the path while I'm driving down to jeer at me and tell me how useless I am very professional I drive down the road and park up to call my boss I tell him the whole situation and how I've been kicked off site he just laughs and tells me he'll be down in 10 minutes I can take the day off I get a phone call about two hours later telling me that it's been sorted out but not to go back yet he told the management that if they want to kick one of his staff off site that they need to call him he'll still be invoicing me out to their company but won't be sending me back until I get a letter of apology for the way they treated me two days later I'm called into the main office to have a look at the letter that came in it was a small victory but it tasted sweet he gave me a copy to keep and he framed his own I started work that day and got an apology from site manager and crappy supervisor who assured me this won't happen again rumors started circulating but nobody really knew what happened until I came back to tell them and show them the letter we laughed about it for a few weeks don't you find it so heartwarming when a boss has his employees back like that's just that's really nice in fact I like when anyone has anyone's back unless it's you know a jerk having another jerks back in which case that sucks but you get what I mean and you know what good on this dude for standing his ground against false Authority which is rampant these days but I'm a loser and listen to whatever anyone tells me to do so this story is called Karen mistakes me for an employee dot dot dot I was wearing a Harry Potter shirt dot dot dot this is my very first I don't work your lady incident and boy it's just as stupid and ridiculous as every other story I've read I was at the supermarkets which again seems like every time I go there alone I attract these kinds of people and I was wearing a gray shirt that represented Gryffindor there's no way anyone could mistake me for an employee right well Karen's a dumb species here's the cast there's me Gryffindor proud Karen Dolores Umbridge and then my guy the guy who takes no crap from no one you'll see why story I was with my cart grabbing the groceries that my mother asked me to get and suddenly I hear ahem excuse me not being my first entitled parent encounter I already knew it was happening and in my head I said again I turn around and see a fat woman and I mean this woman was fat and she did not have the usual care and appearance she was wearing a hoodie which thankfully didn't reveal any of her skin because I just had lunch and didn't want to lose it and sweatpants she really didn't give a crap about what she was wearing huh excuse me I've been watching you slacking off this entire time and I needed help I don't know how you got this job if he is so incompetent lady do you see this shirt do you see it gray Gryffindor what the hell is that it's a Harry Potter shirt woman now use your brain and ask yourself why would an employee wear a shirt like that to work oh wait that's right I don't work here do you see me wearing an apron or an ID on my chest with a name on it don't you see the cart full of groceries I'm carrying how in the ever loving heck can you confuse me with an employee turn your brain on you disrespectful Benihana how dare you say that to my face well I'd go around and say that to your back but my car's fuel is almost empty that's it I'm calling you a manager I need a manager right now oh for God's sake the mic guy shows up rather quickly as Karen was screaming for the manager and I mean screaming what's going on here I heard you all the way from the entrance this brat just expected me to my face I want him fighting immediately the manager takes a quick look at me and his face turns into a I don't get paid enough for this face then manager starts talking in an annoyed tone Mikey's dealt with Karen's before and the manager wasn't taking crap from her he wasn't polite at all and was really harsh lady let me ask you this do you see the shirt he's wearing it's a Harry Potter shirt he doesn't work here and you've just wasted my time if you do not stop harassing this young man right now I'll have you escorted out of this supermarket and I'll make sure you never buy anything from this Market's brand ever again am I clear what how dare you all contact your super manager cuts her off and guess what I'm allowed to drop a lightness towards any customer who breaks the rules or harasses others now all I want to hear is a yes or a no and I strongly suggest you choose the former now answer the question am I clear you can't I'll give you one final chance all I want to hear from you is yes or no so answer the question are we clear anything other than that and you're out of here Karen quietly and embarrassed yeah good you're forgiven now now get moving and I don't want to hear other customers complaining about you Karen leaves and I just stare with my mouth open at manager savagery and I decide to humor him a bit holy bleep I guess she wasn't the first problematic customer you've dealt with huh oh you have no idea my friend I think manager for his assistance and we head our separate ways while continuing for my groceries I end up on the same aisle as Karen again she sees me and just gives me the most pathetic death glare I have ever seen she's frowning her face to the point where mirror would crack and I just shrug and say better stop with that face it makes you look uglier than you already are Karen's face turns red with anger and she thinks about starting arguing all over again but I threatened to call manager again to get her butt banned and Karen just clutches her fist grabs her cart and speeds off while I just started laughing at this later at the registers I see Karen trying to argue with the cashier about a discount and her line was the biggest one and the people behind were visibly annoyed after paying my stuff and walking off I stopped by the manager's desk and informed them that a customer was causing trouble at the register again and as I walk away I see manager heading towards Karen's register and I can only assume what happened next this story is called sorry I'm not in charge of school pictures Okay so this happened last year at my nephew's school for some background sorry it's long I have two nephews in elementary school and my sister volunteered to help out because if you help out you get a picture package for your kid for free and as anyone who has a kid in the U.S knows they are very expensive anyway it's a two-day event and she has two kids so she volunteered for both to get free picks of both my nephews only she forgot she had a work thing on the second day in last minute so she begs me to go text me some vague instructions basically help kids look presentable and a time so I get there and I have no real idea where to start I'm wearing a floral shirt and black pants with black flats and have a visitor sticker with my name on it there are like three other moms there plus photography staff a lady hands me a bunch of Combs and tells me to start fixing kids hair so I do and then people start coming up to me also I have severe social anxiety so I kind of just went along with everything I was told and was so scared I didn't realize what was happening for a while the photographer says we need the kids in two lines okay and I get the kids into line a random mom says should we get the kids to take off jackets sure other moms start getting jackets off of kids where should we put them uh how about on this table all the jackets get put on the table the photography girl says can you head these out to teachers as they get here and she points to a pile of Ziploc bags with paperwork in them sure I give the paperwork to the teachers as they come in make sure the kids have order paper ready and I go around making sure the kids have papers ready a random teacher says how long will this take um 30 minutes at this point a guy comes up to me who I later found out was the principal we need to move everything up the stage because it's raining and kids need to come in and eat okay I proceed to go to the photography guys and tell them that everything gets moved this goes on for about two hours since I had never volunteered for something like this I assumed it was normal for all these people to have me do stuff but I slowly start to notice everyone coming to me still I didn't put it together till almost the end you guys did a great job today thanks when will the pictures get here oh no idea you should ask that guy I point to the Head photography guy aren't you the one in charge of them no sorry I'm just a volunteer another random mom asks where can I get my free picture voucher oh I was just about to ask the picture guys don't you work with them no sorry I'm just a volunteer thanks for all the help today kids were really well behaved best school I bid too thanks photography guys starts telling me info about delivery and scheduling and the groups and other stuff um I don't work at the school I'm just volunteering to get the free pictures oh sorry I thought you did you look like someone who's a judge so basically school people thought I worked for photography guys and photography guys that I worked for the school and I have no idea why maybe it's because I'm almost a six foot female with a resting bee face so I looked intimidating anyways when I put it all together it made sense and my sister had a laugh because I was a running around doing all these things and the day before she mostly stood around and combed like three kids hair at the end of the day my nephews got their free picks and everyone was happy with my work so it was a good day well that was a pretty wholesome story um well good on her for you know doing all that for her sister and her kids that was pretty nice of her and you know she really didn't get anything at all in return you know from the school and the photography people other than the free pictures but again she did a lot more than required this story is called today I fudged up by calling the police on my own surprise party obligatory this didn't happen today it actually happened almost 10 months back a little bit of context I am an 18 year old male living in Austria with my parents and twin sister currently and I have never really celebrated my birthday by throwing a party for my friends so my friends decided to throw me a surprise party for my 18th birthday at my parents house the F up happened the day after my birthday actually on my actual birthday my family and I celebrated my sisters and my birthday by eating a slice of cake and getting some small presents nothing special since my birthday was on a Sunday I had to go to school the next day only a few days left before the holiday started since it was Monday I had a few more hours of mandatory extra chemistry lab which took until around 17 o'clock so by the time I was heading home it was already quite dark I figured I would be home alone for at least a few hours since my parents both worked late on Mondays and probably would get home around 10 to 11 and my sister almost always spent her evening at her girlfriend's house so I assumed I wouldn't see her either now to the actual f up when I arrived at the bus stop near my house it was already really dark and only Street lanterns lit up the streets on my way home from the bus stop I saw the light in our house go on for a few seconds and immediately go back off I was instantly alarmed as I knew no one should be home at the moment so I went up closer to the house and checked our driveway way if there was a car there there was no car so neither my parents nor my sister could rather should be home as my mother and father always left with one car in the morning and my sister always took the other one when driving to her girlfriends at this point my heart rate was probably around 170 already I remained in the driveway for a few seconds and then I actually Heard a Voice from inside of the house and I completely freaked out it sounded like a male's voice although I didn't recognize it I backed off really quickly from the house towards the other side of the street and called the police from behind some bushes on the roadside I told them I Heard a Voice inside of our house although no one should be there they told me to stay calm keep my distance and that they would send a unit there ASAP around 15 minutes later the police arrived and surrounded the house there were around four policemen and women there and one of them knocked on the door no response at this point even a few more police officers had arrived they got out of of the car with some kind of battering ram long story short they broke the front door down and ran into the house with their tasers or guns or something out and I couldn't really see all that much in the dark and shouted something like please show us your hands when that happened I could hear shrieks and screams and people being escorted out of the house to our front yard you guessed it right they were my friends and my sister who had intelligent as she is parked her car somewhere else to make me think she isn't home I instantly tried to defuse the situation and apologized profusely to the police officers who had just tried to arrest my closest friends in the end my friends invited the policemen and women in for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake although they sadly couldn't stay for more than a few minutes since they got a message over their walkie-talkie thingies and they had to set off immediately ever since this happened we have a great story to laugh about at every single birthday party yep price parties are fantastic for everyone who doesn't have anxiety oh gosh that is so oh man I've never had a surprise party so um I don't know how freaked out I'd be but this is really funny he called the cops they used a battering ram that is beautiful that is a fantastic story I'm glad they share this don't forget to like subscribe and hit that Bell to never miss an episode [Music]
