Story 1: I am from Portugal and although i don't live in Lisbon I go there very often, and parking isn't a nightmare, is a HELL!!! You can go around 30 min in park to find a spot that just got free, the anger and frustation is equal to 300km.
@@KaityKat117 yeah. I thought, just leave it there in the handicap parking spot in front of the police station! It's gonna be impounded plus serious fines!
Story 1 “There are 3 things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon and the anger of a gentle man.” -Patrick rothfuss, “the wise man’s fear” I feel like that quote fits in quite well with the first story.
The first story is funny because I actually went to Blanes ( a place in Spain) and I walked by a police station with them looking at a car nearby, kinda funny ngl
Story 2: If the entitled parents had "one too many" as the OP indicated, he should have followed them out to their car and got their license plate, then called the police, if for no other reason than the safety of the kids. Also, a hundred dollars probably wouldn't cover the cost of a shelf full of wine glasses. Why just let them walk out like that?
I was coming out of my house one day to go to work only to find a driver's education car in the throes of parking in front of my driveway. Not in the spot on either side of the driveway, but right in front of it!! I went to the window of the car and told the student driver that if her instructor was teaching her to park in front of driveways, she had better find someone else to teach her how to drive and especially where she can park. She glared at the instructor and it was very satisfying to see him turn beet red in embarrassment.
For story two, please call CPS. The fact that those parents would get drunk while having children in their care is a huge red flag. You don’t need evidence of abuse or neglect to call CPS. Investigating is their job, not yours. But, they can’t investigate unless someone tells them that something might be wrong.
@@Number8forlife Did YOU listen? It was dude's space. She said "I'm using MY space for storage. You were away longer than expected so i claimed yours"
Second story, the O.P. should have called the cops the moment the kids got up again. The parents of the kids are responsible for all the damage the kids made too. The business shouldn't allow kids in anyway. There should be a sign on the door that says "No One under 21 may enter" or something like that.
Worked for a family-owned gym once. First as a trainer, then a manager. I got paid a fraction of what the job and responsibilities was actually worth, and the owners (my bosses) who were family, would not take care of critical things that needed to be done that could only be done on their side. My team and I raised their membership x5 and they gave me a 2 percent raise from an abysmal salary that i had to demand. Mind you, this is after two years of working there. I got fed up and quit and now work a much better job. The gym lost half of their customers after i and some of my old staff left
Story 1: That is quite possibly one of the greatest and funniest stories of revenge on a stupid Karen i've ever heard. Well done! OP is by no means a jerk. Story 2: Why would they ever allow children into a wine-tasted room? That's just asking for trouble... not just from those people, but also the liquor board. If i were the OP, i wouldve called the cops and kicked them out.... not to mention make them pay for all the broken glasses. Story 3: OP isnt a jerk here for calling the cops and tow truck here. You'd think that the dumb Karen would be in a hurry to move her car if its about to be towed..... or even better, not block someone's driveway in the first place. You really have to wonder sometimes with people these days. Story 4: Family businesses and set-ups are both the best and worst places to work at. In this case, its clearly one of the worst ones. If i were the OP, i would've just quit or walked out when the friend was fired, screw that place. In some cases, malicious compliance just isn't worth it.
I had a car towed that was blocking my driveway and for the rest of the time that I owned my car, I would find rotten fruit thrown at my car, sharpie marks on my windows, and random scratches on it.
How did she not know this in the first story and I do live in one and they say straight up that you get your own parking space with your registration into the place (I did not mean it to rhyme but it did anyways lol)
The Towed Car Story, The OP should have posted the License Plates to her from Madrid, but with no stamps on so she would have had to pay to get it out of the Post Office
An acquaintance caught someone tampering with his car. He was parked on the the street but noticed some movement while looking through his living room window. Someone was nealing next to the driver side door. He grabbed a cricket bat and ran outside and completely surprised the would be vandle/thief. Let's just say the person was able to run off but not without painful reminders not to break into other people's property. Just an FYI we live in the U.S. I have no idea were why he has a cricket bat, he doesn't even play, but apparently they're rather solid.
Entitlement can cause SO much trouble, for the owner of the parking spot, ANd the witch who grabbed it.People seem to think it is o.k. to take what they want and have no consequences for it.
In the title story the OP is most assuredly is *NOT* the arsehole. The Karen literally had several chances to do the right thing. She has no one to blame but herself for what happened to her car.
Love Lisbon,.. luckily didn't drive there. For the US Readers who haven't been,.. imagine San Francisco (not quite as steep.. but plenty of hills) with narrow side-streets that were laid out hundreds of years before cars existed.
story 2: something tells me those kids purposely knock that shelf down just to cause a scene, which is pure stupidity if that their encourages that kind of behavior.
Children don’t act that way without some kind of reason. I’m guessing the parents are alcoholics and acting out is the only way those kids get any kind of attention.
The way you were talking at the end of the last story, about how thrusting all the responsibilities on lower employees, and not paying enough, and treating them like garbage is exactly why I quit my last job at Burger King. No matter how hard I work, I keep on getting yelled at for now, being able to do other work even though I'm the only one doing everything. Now i work security at a restaurant, and when my bosses came down to ask the employees how my work performance is, they complemented and said I was the best security guard they have because I actually do my job and work hard. Hell costumers even tell them I need a raise because hoe now nice I am and how helpful I am to differently able costumers. When I tell my family about I can't help but cry because to finally be recognized for the hard work I put in after years six years of abuse, it was so overwhelming I had never been so happy
Story 1 I personally think that the op is a legend and was 100% justified in his revenge of you are from India or places similar then you can safely say that if you pay 20 to 50 dollars they will look the other way so the revenge was also necessary.
Story 1 OP is definitely not the jerk. Karen keyed his car, he can't prove it but who else would do that? It fits a Karen who's mad at him and having a wat with him about his parking space. He's given her plenty of notice several different times and tried alternative routes of dealing with the problem, and if he had just towed it to another city or up the street, you know Karen would've just parked in his spot soon enough and retaliated again anyway. So that really only leaves the option of towing it so far she'll never see the car again. Karen deserved what came to her and OP is not the jerk
@@SonsOfDeForest could've been, but law often doesn't help people like the OP and often only helpskarens like this one. And he had already tried the morally correct thing to do but it wasn't working, so he went nuclear
the first story is insane. yeah I get why he got upset. he should just have gotten the police/some high up involved. the only thing he needs is the paper work claiming HE is paying for this spot. then he could get her removed. I think towing her car to Madrid is funny but also a bit to mutch. like this is basically theft and over the top. still Karma for her but yeah...
S1, YATI, why descend to the level of the Karen, tow the car out of the spot, superglue all the doors and locks, let all tires down, key every body panel and crack every window
The guy is actually the jerk because that is stealing her car at that point now. I mean taking another country you have stolen it plus took off the license plate. That was a confession to a crime
That guy from LIsbon basically stole her car. He can say that he had it 'towed' but in actuality it was just taken from the parking space and abandoned somewhere. That's stealing and leaving it at another location. Towing it for being parked in his space would have meant employing a towing company and leaving a letter stating that it was towed and where to collect it. Just taking it and not giving it back or letting her know is just stealing it.
The first story is just another Karen at her worst. And after her acting like a brat I loved the revenge they got on this entitled joke. The second one sounds like the parents are letting the kids drink and obviously don't even care I'd call the cops and make them pay for the broken glasses. To be honest you should put up a sign stating that children are not allowed in the establishment
I feel like in regards to the story about the wine, I feel like having an ageless posted won't always do the trick cuz some people will either blatantly pretend it isn't there or will blatantly pretend it says whatever they want it to say to use as an excuse to bring their kid anyway.
My neighbor yelled at my sister in law because MY car was blocking their mail box several times. We had 9 people living in our house and like 8 cars so I had to park in the roundabout. A year later and several people move out so I can park in the yard. I go to leave my house and our neighbor, who yelled at a 17 year old girl, had guests BLOCKING MY CAR!!! I was beyond angry. And a couple months ago, I go to visit that house and the ENTIRE ROUNDABOUT is filled with their cars.
Business owners don't always treat their family like royalty within the company. My teens worked with their grandfather for a month and quit because he didn't even introduce them as grandchildren but as trainees, he would stop them to ask them why they weren't working faster and then yell at them for stopping but if they continued working while he was talking to them he would yell about how rude they were for not looking at him while he was talking to them. He treated the regular employees with tons of dignity and respect but my teens would come home everyday and cry, as punishment for them quitting he and his wife didn't so much as wish them happy birthday.
Hey there interweb people's! I worked at an absolute dump making pallets. The shift supervisors would literally sit there and ask why we were not building pallets? Ok??? Mywork partner and I said "we have been waiting for lumber for over 45 minutes" to which "she" the shift stupervisor abruptly and with a loud voice said THATS NO EXCUSE! Umm how am I to produce anything without the necessary products? Long short of things, we spent that time cleaning our whole department all while waiting for lumber. Close to the end of our shift we get pulled into HR and were told that we were slacking off etc making up excuses and all that fun crap. Obviously we knew we were in the right. We found later from out forklift driver that "she" had told the forky not to bring us lumber because she didn't want us to hit quota and leave early with pay? Our department worked on incentives blah blah blah. She this lady who is clearly a menace to society and a detriment to the company wants us to hit quota without the right materials........theres so much I could go into. Who's banging who and who broke up several marriages to the drug dealers and drunks that work there. I'm glad I no longer work there. Sexual assaults to YES men and women, from who blames who and who kisses the bosses asses. What a joke. I hope these mongrels get stuck in their own unkept machines. To that end, fucking you Kathy you miserable and broken human, I hope the cancer takes you the same as you said I should quit my job because I had two jobs....so sorry for not being a tessa man to the likes of you and yours. Kindly eat shit and die alone because no one loved you, ever. Biotch!
Nah the OP is the car story is not a jerk, the woman using his larking space certainly is! She was told that she couldn't park there anymore because he was back and she chose to ignore him. She was using 2 parking spaces when only entitled to one of them!! She deserved to have her car towed. Because they towed it to a different country, the chances are she will end up claiming on her insurance for a stolen car (if she has the right cover) and will end up with a new car. Maybe they shouldn't have towed it so far away, making it too hard to find.
Story 3: There was one time back when I lived with my Parents A Parent parked in front of my Parents driveway. For context my Parents live across the street from a school.
Story 2: when I was little I went to a family pub with my uncle and cousins and they where just running around and DRINKING the beer, even the 2 year old was doing it like it was normal
Yea, the guy who towed towed the car to Spain was the jerk. A beautiful, inspired jerk and sometimes that's okay too. This one should have been titled jerk versus bitch. In this case I'm siding with the jerk.
4:31 I don’t get why people call the cops, like just make a report don’t call them, one time my family came over and they are from New Jersey so they don’t know how the driveways in New York work becasue ours was right next to our neighbors, and all the sudden a fucking police officer showed up, like mf how about you just ask her to move the car the neighbors fr called the cops
Hi everyone 👋 I was just curious about that hand, that pops ups out of nowhere a few times during this video. Is it for censuring or something like that?
