r/IDOWorkHereLady - Lady Calls 8 COPS to ARREST ME for "LOOKING" Suspicious!

hello my wonderful beautiful friends welcome back to our slash i do work here lady where you'll hear stories about people who work at places that are mistaken as not guys i hope you're having a great day today and since the last episode was so popular i wanted to bring it back sooner than later and it's a good one guys it's a good one i don't want to talk too much so i do hope you enjoy the stories today and do hit that subscribe button for future stories if you're new here so i work at a video game store one day a few years ago i was in the store where i work but i wasn't scheduled so i was just in a plain t-shirt and shorts instead of my work clothes just killing some time with a co-worker while i was there he got a call from his mom saying that there was an emergency he asked if i could cover for him and i said i don't have plans so i agreed even though i wasn't in work clothes it wasn't really a big deal a couple hours in a woman walks in and i greet her she ignores me so i ignore her back and do some busy work until she's ready a few minutes go by and she says out loud isn't there anybody who works here mind you i'm the only one in the store besides her and i said yeah i work here ma'am how can i help you now i say that from behind the counter she eyes me up and down and doesn't believe me and she shouts in the direction of the back room assuming there's a worker in the back and i said uh ma'am i work here i'm the assistant manager how can i help you she looks at me again and says you're not dressed for work well she's not wrong but i am wearing the name tag that has my title and i have been behind the counter and accessing the computers and answering the phone all while she's there i told her ma'am i really do work here i know i'm not dressed in a store shirt but my co-worker had an emergency and he had to leave i'm covering because i just happened to be here when he got the call now for some reason she still does not believe me and decides to pull out her phone and actually call the store i then pick up the phone and answer it saying thank you for calling game store assistant manager speaking she hung up quickly and said stop lying i know you don't work here i said ma'am i don't know what else to tell you she then threatened to call the cops on me for illegally accessing a company's computer and phone line and then she ran out of the store in a huff i didn't get any visit from the cops and she probably did not even call them believe it or not i did see her again a couple of weeks later when i was scheduled and she actually mentioned that there was a guy who illegally accessed your computers i just said oh yeah we got that taken care of no need to worry about him anymore i honestly couldn't believe that she didn't recognize me but apparently clothes do make a world of a difference to some people guys that story was so ridiculous that i actually had trouble narrating it what the heck was she trying to accomplish by calling the store if the only other person in the store is yourself and another person and you make the call to the store who do you think is gonna pick up sometimes it's really hard for me to read such ridiculous stories now you see why okay a bit to start with i'm a freelance hiking and snowmobile guide on the island of svalbard which is in the norwegian arctic and have to deal with all sorts of people on a day-to-day basis so a few months ago i was guiding a trip by myself we only send one guide out when the group is small so i went to the hotels to pick up my guests an italian couple and the saudi arabian father and son combo i walked into their hotel introduced myself and got everybody to sit in the car the dad opened the passenger seat door sat down and then looked at me confused he then said oh i'm sorry this is your seat right i can move to the back i told him no you can sit there if you want it's much easier to drive from the other side anyway i always try to crack a joke or two to break the ice as lots of people are nervous when having to drive a snowmobile the first time he looked at me slightly more confused but i assume it's only a language thing i brought them back to headquarters gave them a full safety briefing and overview on a map on where we're going after that i got them dressed and told them to wait outside because our suits are made to keep you warm at -30 so inside a building you quickly start to melt once i was dressed i went to meet with them outside the dad says oh you're coming with us on the tour i told him i sure hope so it can't go on without me i'm your guide now i want to make a note that i had told them in the briefing that my name's kat and i'll be your guide for today the dad then says is that a gun i told him yes sir but don't worry she's not yet loaded the dad and son looked at each other confused and we started to walk towards the snowmobiles so i could give them a small briefing on how to drive them the italians told me they'd been driving before so i decided to place them in the end of the group and the dad and son are in the front because out of experience it's always better for the more experienced guests to be in the back since they might have to speed up here and there to fill a gap the dad then asked me but where's the guide i told him right here i'm just in front of you it's pretty hard to miss i'm trying to keep cheery and to keep the humor going despite knowing where this is going and then the dad says it he says but you're female guides can't be female i told him about 50 of our guides are girls here and it's not that uncommon don't worry though girl or guy we do undergo the exact same training and trust me you're in good hands the son then chimes in and says i think my father wants to know who's going to operate the gun i told him well let's hope we don't even have to take it out of the boot but if we have to i'm trained and licensed to shoot now the sun then says no and i respond no you are a woman women can't shoot guns it's not safe now at this point i'm getting pretty peeved and i said excuse me guys if you don't want me as your guide that's fine with me go back into headquarters take the suit off and tell a receptionist to call you a taxi if you don't feel safe that's up to you but i'm the guide for this trip today and if you want to head out you'll have to deal with me dad says but if we don't go we want our money back the son says he'll go if i get a mail guide for them and i said look i clearly do work here and i'm the only guide available right now you've signed the agreement accepting that i'm in charge of this tour and you'll have to listen to what i tell you to do and what not to do so long story short dad then walks off back to the headquarters and his son and the italian couple stayed the trip was great we saw reindeer we saw a polar bear in the distance and in general had a great time after the tour the sun did come back to apologize for his behavior and called me a good girl guide my boss heard that and still mocks me with it today now listen guys all i can say is that some people are ridiculous and need to grow up i've never once gone on a tour somewhere and thought hmm i don't want that person leading this tour guys if they're in fact leading a tour they are trained and qualified to do their job now just going through the comments though a lot of people say that it's the culture now i don't want this to turn into some sort of craziness in the comments section below where people start saying that these people do this and these people do that just be kind my friends [Music] i used to work at a hospital several years ago in various roles within a department most days i was in the outpatient clinic offices as the admin assistant clerk and other days as a lab assistant for one of the mds i had this job even though i was grossly underqualified when i started because my mom was a practitioner there too now i need to say this office was very relaxed and with me being young but generally well regarded they looked past the fact that i dressed like a 90s punk seriously the office let me show up with my face and neck pierced along with dyed blonde hair visible tattoos and a very questionable choice of clothing well being that i worked in locked research labs as well as ran mail i had access to the whole campus and i knew my way around the rat maze better than most one day i ran into a couple who were clearly lost and desperately looking for an employee as i heard them ask a few people if they worked there i knew exactly where they needed to go and they weren't even in the right building but as a person who loves to help people i was willing to walk them to their department since i was sort of going that way anyway so i approach them and try to introduce myself and explain that i'll take them where they need to go and this apparently scared them not only would they not listen to me they started to raise their voice that i was harassing them that i didn't work there to leave them alone or they'll call security yada yada yada and they started to walk towards a nearby coffee stand to seek help now at this point i say screw it it's not worth my trouble and i walk away but i do hear the barista laughing and saying you should probably just follow him because he does work here and he knows where every department is i decided to be a dick about it and duck down the stairwell as i was over it this is a plain example of judging somebody solely on appearance i mean yeah he's a 90s punk face piercings neck piercings tattoos all over i can see where this couple is coming from but you know what that couple could have done that way way better by just saying no thank you sir we can find our own way whatever happened to that so i'm not sure this entirely belongs here and i'm open to comments so i worked as an armed guard for an armed truck service for those who don't know we're responsible for picking up money and checks from other businesses such as banks stores restaurants etc as part of my job as handling large amounts of cash i do carry a sidearm or handgun for those not into guns in order to protect myself and the money i also want to note that where i live you have to have what's called a concealed carry permit to have such firearm outside of work hours which i have so on my way home i stop at a grocery store to pick up dinner as i just gotten off work i still have my name badge on and my sidearm and its holster on my hip this is important cue the crazy lady i'm browsing the freezer aisle and i notice a woman start eyeing me as i'm browsing she seems to be following me lingering quite a distance away i turn around and see her dart around the corner i just think eh she probably thought i was someone else i go about my business spend some time shopping and proceed up to the register line as i'm waiting to check out in comes a swarm of about eight police officers they come up straight to me with the crazy lady behind them shouting that's him that's the guy with the gun they point their guns at me and order my hands up i drop what i have and comply now at this point i have no idea what's going on they're shouting at me to stay down and to not move they ask me what i'm doing here and i state that i'm doing some grocery shopping and i work for company z and that i have a permit for my weapon so long story short they end up lowering and holstering their guns after the commotion and apologize for the confusion they said they got a call about a guy walking around the store waving a gun around i say i'm sorry but since i've been here my gun has been holstered never left the holster they turn to the lady and ask her if it's true that i never took my gun out of the holster and she yells that i'm lying that i can't have a gun in the store anyway they of course go check security footage and see that i did nothing wrong and they let me go on about my business and apologize again for misunderstanding they then turned around and handcuffed the lady who called and told her that she's being arrested for misusing the 911 system and inciting panic so that lady needs to realize that making wild accusations like that can cost people their lives so reading the story i immediately thought of one news article i read a few years back where a man was shopping at a walmart and grabbed a bb gun and the cops were called saying that this man was walking around pointing the gun at people's faces if you guys aren't familiar with the story the guy ended up losing his life such a terrible and tragic outcome but my friends i don't want to end like that so the next story hopefully will give you a chuckle and a smile i'll start off the story by saying that i've been in some form of customer service for most of the past 45 years yep i'm an old geezer in all of those years i've had more than a few ridiculous customers including one man who threatened to kill me because his credit card application was turned down but i've never really had a karen or a chad or whatever you call a male karen today i thought that was all about to change so i'm retired and working part-time for a friend who manages a large discount store clothing housewares home decor etc my job is shoes that's it i process the hundreds of shoes that they get daily i spend my days in the back stock room on days where there aren't a lot of shoes i'll help run out the other stock on this day of days i was doing just that i had a big rolling shelf chalk full of impulse buys those inexpensive items that stores always put up front by the registers when it happened there's a long line of people waiting to check out as i'm rearranging the section to work in new goodies i hear a guy speaking to me nobody ever speaks to me he says you know you could jump on that open register i've been waiting a long time and i've been watching you do almost nothing oh happy day joy of joys today i finally get me a karen and a boy karen to boot i've read hundreds of these stories on reddit and i am not the shrinking violet that seem to attract them i am a dick messing with jerks is my hobby i smile at him and say i can't do that he asked how come i told him well it's actually the same reason that you can't do it i don't know how now i'm ready to go i've waited my i've waited my whole life for karen or her husband and today is my day this is practically my big o i'm locked and i'm loaded this man looks at me for a second and he's thinking of some smart ass comeback come on dude give me your best shot he then chuckles and says actually that's a really good reason what but but mr karen you're supposed to be mean you're supposed to be insane now i gotta regroup i point to three or four young ladies who are cashiering and sad they only have the nice looking ones up front they keep the ugly old guy in the back but i escaped he then laughs again and says that's a really good policy as an ugly old dude myself i'd much rather get checked out by good looking girls than by an old guy he gets called up next and he says have a great rest of your day well so today's not my day damn you nice old dude my friends when i started to read the story and i read that opie's been waiting his whole life for this i for sure for sure thought that this was gonna be a violent messy security was gonna get called but nope it turned out to be a pretty wholesome tale and i absolutely love it my friends and that brings us to another end of our slash i do our cure lady guys if you enjoyed the stories today do hit that thumbs up and if you missed the last episode i did two days ago it's gonna be right here if you've had enough of these stories and you want to hear about a karen embarrass herself by pretending to know the owner this is here as well check it out if you haven't and i'll see you guys in the next one i love you i told her ma'am i don't know what else did oh this is just ridiculous
