r/Entitledparents Crazy Neighbor Demands To Live In My House! 

OP: "Nothing she said made any real sense." Me: *"Do they ever?"*

In 6th grade my teacher said "Schools should teach you how to say no." at the time I made a joke saying "No." but now it seems much more serious. My 6th grade teacher was a g. She taught us how to write essays and do projects. If a teacher is making you do tons of hard work which you don't need to do now remember that in the future you'll need it.

In 9th grade, my English teacher was amazing. She was exasperated with me at first, because - in her words - I was CLEARLY in the wrong class. I should have been in the more "advanced" class, while she taught those who struggled. It was due to scheduling issues, and although I tried to get it changed - she was stuck with me. Bless her, she usually just let me do my own thing. The best thing she taught, and I think it was in October or November... however - and she dedicated two full weeks to it - was a variety of "work skills", as she called it. She told us, EVERY DAY, that if we mastered these skills, our work lives would be much better. She taught telephone skills (how to properly answer the phone, take messages, answer questions, handle irritable callers, etc), interviewing skills, polite ways to deal with a boss while wanting to "rip them a new one" and much, much more. When I entered the work force, I was amazed at how well these little lessons worked. More than once I was complimented on things like "interviewing well", but especially my "excellent" phone etiquette. All thanks to that teacher, who actually brought in a telephone (not connected to a phone line, pre-cell phone!) and had us practice EVERYTHING. At the time, I thought it pretty stupid - after all, I had been raised with decent phone etiquette. Then, I watched my classmates STRUGGLE, and it hit me... these were the students who would likely be trapped in some crappy job or switch jobs often... my teacher was doing her best to give them a foot up. She recognized the fact they would struggle, and I really hope they took her lessons to heart and aced interviews, too. I do know that I started helping the teacher out with the ones struggling the most in class the rest of the school year, trying to put the ideas, etc, into a form they could easily grasp. She gave me a hug after the year was over (she asked first, cus of the "don't touch students" rule, and I agreed), thanking me for my help, and that some of those I had helped ended up with much better grades than she had dared hope for. I wish I could remember her name. Every so often, I am reminded of her by comments like these, where people wish such skills were taught in school. It may not have been a dedicated class to it, but I know that one teacher made a difference in that way.

they don't teach you how to stand up for yourself because they're too busy telling you that if you stand up for yourself you're just as bad as the person bullying you while ignoring the bully and punishing the victim

"you're the reason we'll freeze to death!" not realizing op's house has no power

The fact that they stole that man's groceries while he struggled to stand really saddened me.

Anything that revolves around plants; Rslash: TREE LAW

In the last story. Even if I had no gun I would tell her "Could you wait there a moment? I'm gonna go get my gun. It's real handy when you have intruders."

Who else gets giddy when he starts talking about plants because we all know he's about to bring up tree law

The baby sitting story is the reminder of give someone an inch in the take a mile. Good on op for setting up for herself.

"it's free real-estate"

'We are NOT leaving!' "Well, okay if you prefer laying on the floor bleeding, so be it."

Rslash: I see they cut down your hedges. Let me introduce you to something called tree law. I just started dying laughing after this.

When Big Bertha said ow, I thought she was gonna tell Op she’s gonna call the police for assault

How to make rSlash drool. Step one: Mention Tree Law.

Rslash: ...and they where removing the hedges RU-vid all at once: tree law, tree law 🎉

Big Bertha: I'm not leaving Castle Law: Allow me to introduce myself

This last person: you know you can call the cops if someone comes in your house uninvited? Just a hint..

The god of Reddit, Rslash, has returned to his natural habitat, the subreddit of EntitledParents.

"OP's neighbor tries to steal his land!" R'as Al Ghul "He was a farmer..."

Lesson from the second story: Don't argue with stupid people. They will make you the stupid one

These are the edits OP posted for the story bout the driveway EDIT The general consensus seems to be that I should speak to a lawyer and the police. I'm taking the day off to speak to a lawyer tomorrow. Also, a lot of comments about what is going to happen when I sell the house. I'm going to speak to my wife about it when I get home tonight, but I don't think i'm gonna sell the house. Hopefully I can put this house up for rent. EDIT 2 I met with a lawyer this morning. She spoke a lot, but it doesn't seem like she can do much. I did call the police though. When I got home earlier today the glass on my front door was cracked and one of my basement windows was shattered. I checked my cameras and my neighbor was knocking on my door for a few minutes before kicking my front door repeatedly. After she cracked the glass she walked around to the back of my house and kicked in my basement window before running away. I called the police and they were here in less than 5 minutes. I gave them the footage and they went to knock on her door. I was told that I would be able to get a restraining order. I'll post an update when I find out what is going to happen to her. We're still going to move, but we are most likely going to sell the house. My wife just wants to forget this place exists and I don't disagree. Someone tagged my posts as fake - not sure why. I made my first post because I wasn't taking my neighbor seriously and I was kinda of amused by the situation. I posted this one because a lot of you guys have been asking me for an update. I don't really want to post a picture of my driveway or house on a public site like this, so I guess believe what you want?

"OP, if your neighbours illegally cut down your hedges..." this is going to end with treelaw, isnt it? "...Id like to introduce you to a thing called treelaw..." Yep, Ive been listening to this channel too much lol

Depression & anxiety is a serious condition. It's not just sadness. rslash is a legend!

Uncle: "When you're an adult, i know you'd give me a place to stay for a while if need be" Why does this sound like one of those creepy uncles who would try to get laid with his niece.

Day 43 of telling him he's making everyone day better

My predictions: Knocks on door OP: He- GIVE ME YOUR HOUSE I NEED IT I'M A SINGLE MOM PLEASEEEEE THAT'S ILLEGAL TO REFUSE The real thing: A update and the neighbor is trying to build a pool behind OP's back.

*Rslash hears about someone's trees being cut down without their permission:* TREE LAW!

Why do people straight up lie to police about people doing something they didn't? To look like a good citizen to cops? lol wtf you can get arrested for lying about this stuff im pretty sure.

I'm sure the reason the school system doesn't teach students to talk back to future bosses is because if they did the students might talk back to the teachers and ruin the class.

That last response from you RSlash in latence terms: "Call an Ambulance! Call an Ambulance! But not for me! *pulls out a rifle at birtha* "

I can tell you what sort of person has a worldview where if they see a elderly person fall they immediately assume drunkenness: *A bully looking for an excuse.*

C'mon OP, we all love us some Tree Law justice.

I think your parent's are supposed to teach you how to stand up for yourself. Teaching things like taxes and negotiating salary can easily be taught in school, but there are things in life we cannot put on teachers. Parent's need to do something. Edited because I have fat fingers lol

"16 seconds ago" Never been so early. Now to walk into work...

I’m studying marketing at the moment and in my college they actually do teach us about interviews (how to get and interview, what to talk about, how to dress and stuff like that). They also teach us how to know if we’re being mistreated by our boss or other staff and how to deal with it. Very thankfull to my college for that.

For the first story of the Karen think he was drunk, I have the perfect reverse card, I’m actually more steady on my feet when I’ve had a couple drinks (currently we think it’s because knowing I’ve had a drink makes me more cautious/aware of what my body is doing even though I have a high tolerance)

One thing I’m actually really greatful for with my college is that they actually do teach us valuable interview skills. We have a department called “Career and Professional Readiness Development” where they give us the options to set up mock interviews so we can get evaluations on how to make ourselves look good to employers. I feel like all colleges should have this.

the 1 dislike must be the crazy neighbor

My college had two classes a semester that you had to take. After all is said and done, you have taken eight classes in college that teaches you how to interview, build a cover letter/resume, how to negotiate a salary or hourly wage, how to stand up to toxic bosses, how to properly call out, and different laws that show you that you can sue for unlawful termination, etc. It teaches you way more than that. But overall, it's amazing and I think every college and high school should teach them....

rslash getting to talk about treelaw is so fun

While that kid's grandfather had 0 right to talk to him that way or asking of that, I'm going to use the fact that the kid is 17 that he doesn't think depression can be really bad enough to be debilitating. Still that grandfather has no right to ask that of a child

Pool Karen - Op rolled over and basically gave up defending his property and moved elsewhere

Driveway/Pool OP made another update a couple of weeks ago but nothing to get excited about: - OP and his family have decided to move out but it's still being planned. - OP is in the process of building a case against the neighbor. He has video proof of EM's misconduct as well as the texts but is waiting for an answer from a detective. - OP and his wife confronted the sister, the one that's been talking to EM, who in response freaked out about the idea of no longer being able to mooch off OP.

10 minutes in i hear him talking about teaching kids about toxic work environments and such and my though was "we don't need trig and geometry we need these kinds of life skills"

So working in a small shop selling VW parts we had all sorts of weird people and crazy conversations. Had a guy get dropped off in the parking lot and he comes inside the shop. Our showroom is the size of a large houses living room, not huge by any standard. Guy comes in and is drunk AF, it’s about 9:30-10:00 in the morning BTW. Asks about parts in a somewhat intelligible manner but is barely able to stand. So he goes and sits on a shelf full of parts damaging some of them. My co worker tells him he needs to leave the store and he does. He sits out front and just passes out. Co worker calls the sheriff and the guy is picked up and taken away. HOURS later the car that dropped him off returns and asks about him. Co worker tells the tale and the guy leaves. Remember this is before the standard changed to its normal to see some homeless camped out just any old where or shooting up drugs. So yeah, guy was picked up for drunk in public, only the second time I had seen it. Other was a fellow Marine who was trashed out in town. Cops picked him up and deposited him at Pendleton’s Oceanside entrance. He had to face a few things after that.

hippotty hoppotty my house ain't your property

Lorax: I am the Lorax I speak for the trees Karen: So WhAt Lorax: *pulls out tree law shotgun*

I actually did take an elective in highschool called Real World Banking that taught us the ins and outs of banking for new people. It was very useful turns out

The Asperger's story ticks me off. I'm an adult with Asperger's, and wasn't diagnosed until I was 28 (almost 34 now). I couldn't hold a job until after I received my diagnosis and could use that as a tool to get assistance and prevent being fired for social mistakes (saying the wrong thing without realizing it's not okay, for example, because I'm thinking of the word or phrase in its literal sense, not cultural). Because of the ADA, employers are required to acomodate disabilities. In my case I must receive counseling/training on the error. (I never make the same mistake twice, I can tell you). This 30+ year old man has no effing excuse to not be out there trying. There are plenty of careers that suit an autistic person, *especially* a man with Asperger's. Asperger's is considered "high functioning". My brother is also Asperger's and he has a job (and a family) because my parents refused to let him sit in his room and get stoned all day. Same with me. TLDR: in my opinion as a woman who never even received my diagnosis until I was much older AND suffers far more because of the social issues of being an autistic woman in the teaching profession, he is lazy and his family is enabling him.

This is probably the quickest I've ever been on an Rslash video.

I agree that the grandpa and uncle have no business giving such matters to a 17 year old, or pawning them off to anyone without asking really, but there are some concerning red flags with OP in the post. OP mentions that the grandfather has depression in a mocking way, seemingly assuming that the quality of life of people with depression isn't altered, and that depression doesn't count as a disability. There are people with depression who sabotage themselves in their workplace, lie in bed for weeks on end, cannot bring themselves up to even eat or go to the bathroom. This seems like such ignorant behavior, and I wasn't aware that a 17 year old is qualified to say what is or isn't a disability in such a mocking tone.

$20 an hour for 3 kids is a great price! Those ppl were definitely trying to take advantage of her. Smh.

Years ago I had a similar experience when I lost the strength in my legs suddenly and fell at a grocery store. As EMTs attended to me and prepared to move me into the ambulance, two Karens stepped OVER ME. One stopped right at my feet, looked down at me, and SPAT on my hand, hissing at me for "being drunk before 3 p.m. Then as they moved on, one kicked my cane away just as an EMT reached for it. Yeah - I have no trouble believing a Karen's go-to response at seeing a cane-bearing older man fall was to report him to police for public drunkenness.

"We are not leaving!" Aight let me call the ops for trespassing then.

The fact she called the cops on an elderly person for “public drunkenness” is bonkers.

How can you introduce them to tree law BUT NEVER MAKE THEM ANYMORE I NEED MORE MAN COME ONNNNN

I homeschool my daughter using the school district materials, and she's currently taking Careers. They paint this sunny picture of work as though everyone is so eager to see you succeed and there's nothing in the book about sexual harassment, conflict with coworkers or employers, anything like that. The most we found is a couple of lines saying that if you think things aren't quite as they should be, you talk to your supervisor. Then it said if the company won't resolve it you file a complaint with the government group that is over whatever business you're in. That's it. No talk about discussing it with higher-ups or HR, not details on how you go about lodging a complaint. Most of the content is about how to consider job options and network. And the book is 20 years old.

God dammit Karen 🤣 my mother is like the epitome of entitlement and lucky for her, my brother seems to be following in her foot steps 🤣

The last person that tried to force their way in got whacked in the leg with a steel bar and then got arrested by the cops they called on me. Yes, I'm a Texan and yes, I do have shotguns, but being taken out by a guy in a wheelchair with a whack to the leg and getting arrested for it then having to explain that to your cellmates is priceless. Being crippled doesn't mean we're helpless.

The reason they don't teach those kinds of things in school: they mostly can't. After all, they won't even let kids stand up to bullies.

My depression prevents me from going out. But even so, I'd never demand someone take care of me. Or be my roommate LOL

Who else loves when RSlash brings up tree law? So wonderful!!! 🖤👏

Aspergian here, also with depression, also in the 30s. I lost a lot of years to isolation too, but the uncle needs to be encouraged, if necessary pushed, to do more with his life. AS makes everything harder, yeah, but most of us can work, we just maybe have to choose our environments carefully. I work from home, for example, because I can't handle being in an office. I bet the uncle's depression would decrease if he had a job and the self-respect that would accompany it.

YES! THE RETURN OF THE CRAZY GARAGE LADY!

I’ve always been grateful my high school had a mandatory career prep course in grade 12. We were taught the basics, like how to write a resume and professional writing formats, but also our rights as workers, what minimum wage and pay rates were, and other things such as how to fill out worker’s compensation forms. All the things we needed to know in advance so we could get a job that treated us responsibly, and keep it, without being mistreated.

I love this excited little edge rslash‘s voice gets when he says „do you know what treelaw is?“

I would say I would have called the cops if she said she wouldn't leave, but then I remembered Texas is primarily "shoot first, ask later". I am SO glad I didn't inherit that mindset from my grandfather's side! RIP, Papa.

EP: We are not leaving. Me: Well not with those fingers intact at this point.

I had a neighbor, who at a later date passed away from alleged overdose, knock on my door one day. As soon as I opened the door, he tried to brute force his way into my apartment, apparently under the influence of something and bleeding from his nose. I'm not exactly a well-built guy, and this man must've had quite a few pounds on me, but I managed to ward off his attempt to push past me, and he then proceeded to beg to be let in, saying that someone was following him, before he went into his own apartment and locked the door tight. His SO came home only shortly thereafter, I explained the situation, and she managed to reason with him. That was one of the most tense moments I've experienced in my adult life. So if some burly woman tried to do what the Karen in the last story did, and knowing what I know now, I sure would be tempted to deck her, slam the door on her, lock myself in and call the cops on her for attempted home invasion. You just can't trust someone to be up to any good once they show that kind of ugly side of themselves.

Q: Who would steal from a veteran? A: members of antifa and BLM , that’s who will steal from a disabled veteran

Lmao, for the Texas story, OP's first response should have been to yell "Honey, get the gun!" I'm allowed to make the stereotype, I'm from Texas. For real though, I heard a lot of sweet stories about the power outage where people let absolute strangers stay in their home to fight the cold together, so this is an interesting flip side.

"...Her life was in danger but not from the cold weather, more like fom cold lead" S A V A G E

Why would schools teach children how to stick up for themselves in a toxic work environment? It seems like so much of our society hinges on exploiting the good will of workers, the last thing the ones in charge need is for people to learn to stand up for themselves 🙄

Tell them there’s a place they can do that for free Prison

"At no point during those years in high school or college or whatever do they ever take the time to tell you how to stand up for yourself in a toxic work environment. And, also, negotiating for a salary, interview skills, all those kinds of things." I met someone whose school actually taught these things; it was an elective class, to be clear, but it taught kids how to survive the working world. This guy decided he already knew how to do this, so spent the entirety of the class being ridiculous. His assignments offered no comprehension of tax laws, budgeting, work ethics, or interview skills. He got away with this because the teacher also viewed this class as a waste.

Day 7 of asking rslash to censor curse words with Yugo's bark.

Speaking as a neurodivergent who’s currently staying rent free with people while I search for a job, wow. I *always* pitch in when asked, and keep my room clean. It’s a very generous gift, and the first way you show appreciation for it is to maintain it. Keep it clean, and pitch in

as a Texan, let me correct you there at the end: *HOT lead

I had the opposite as op. I assumed this guy was like any other old man suffering from disabilities brought on due to age and tried to help him get home safely. It was about half way he asked if he could drink and grabbed a wine bottle out of his bag that was already 2/3 empty. He also started making comments about wanting to stay at my place and refusing to tell me where he lived, got hostile towards any male that intervened (including a bus driver) I had been the only one to notice the bottle so far, so everyone who spoke to him was very kind and polite. The final straw for me was when I noticed he was falling on purpose and intentionally grabbing my chest. I forced his hand away and his response was to grab my hair and pull it, causing me to Nearly hit the wall behind me. No one really saw this either. I was shaken for a good while because of that.

You make my mornings that much better rslash, I've been sick over 2 weeks now and really appreciate hearing the reddit stories you read.

Really shows the differences in people with the Texas outage. Pretty much all the stores had no power too, but there's a dollar general down the street and i ran down there to see if they were open - they were only taking cash, only one person in the store at a time. I stood outside with a line of people swapping stories and talking about who had power or water, what stores were open etc. It was actually nice to talk to people going through the same thing and we were all just kinda chill about the whole thing. I mean really, if everyone's suffering through the same thing its so much easier and nicer to come together over it instead of being a nasty Karen. Smh.

I was just checking to see if you posted and Wala my day is made !

Heyo! This is the OP of the story at 10:04 . Just wanted to clear something up about my comment on depression and how serious it is. Lots of people have commented on my patronizing tone there, and I agree. It was seriously wrong of me to write, and I'm really sorry if it offended anybody. The story was written while I was still really shaken from its events, resulting in the occasional spiteful comment. Again, it was messed up of me to say, and I'm really sorry. There was a disclaimer like this one in the original post, but it wasn't shown here so I don't blame people for being upset with me. Hope you understand! With all that said, I'd like to thank everybody for the love and support. It makes me happy to know that people are seeing things my way, and it makes me confident that I'm on the right track. When I wrote that post, I was scared for what the future could hold. But now, I feel ready to take it head on. Thank you all❤

Grandpa: Should I ask my adult son to help with my other son or my 17 year old grandchild? Yes, 17 year old child.

IM LEGIT BEING TAUGHT ALL ABOUT ALL OF THE JOB STUFF YOU MENTIONED, IN MIDDLESCHOOL, ABOUT BABYSITTING! It’s genuinely STUPID how they teach people that are just barely old enough to fully understand hourly pay AND NOT ADULTS IN COLLEDGE. I. AM. OUTRAGED

OP: My neighbor illegally cut my hedges, and I don't know what to do RSlash: It's Tree real-estate

first story: not just tree law, lawsuit time. with property survey in hand, lawsuit for her intrusion/imposing/encroachment onto your property. probably a few other things can be included in there too. second story: mindset that teens don't know any better and being "cheap" labor. yeah, no. not on this watch. last story: "life being threatened by the cold weather..." and in Texas? although I've never been there but I can imagine it going something like this 1) your house is full so you demand to stay here? hysterical laughter. 2) foot on the doorway? you now have a stub (shot off). 3) push your way into the house: hand her a shovel as she has to the count of three to dig a hole because by time we get there (and fast counting too), that will be your new home (sound of the gun bring clocked). 4) decide to try and break in later? besides having a death wish...

Monch is Early And Monch Really likes RSlash’s Videos Monch Asks The Viewers to Learn lessons from these Storys

The little side story about the vet who had his groceries stolen while he was on the ground and couldn't get up, is without a doubt one of the top three SADDEST things I have *ever* heard. Oh my God I have never actually hoped that the poster was lying for attention before now. I'm not saying that they are lying and making stuff up, but omg I hope they are. I'm one of those that normally just listen to this channel, but when I heard that I went and grabbed my phone so I could double check i heard correctly. Unfortunately, I did. I was already convinced that the world is full of horrible people (except for a select few decent people. Now I'm just depressed at the state of the world. That story really messed with me. It's just so ungodly horrific that there are a group of people that would do that to anyone, let a lone a veteran, let ALONE a vet that came home with injuries. What a shitty way to thank him for his service.

I’ve been having a really rough time and your videos always motivate me to get up in the mornings! Keep it up!!!

A neighbour where we used to live cut one side of my hedges claiming “they were hanging over onto her property”. She rented an apartment in the building next door to us. I own 4’-7” on their side. So she had to pay to have them replaced. 4 hedges later, she had spent well over $11,000+ to replace them because she cut them back about half way so they all died (she cut into the roots). I think she tried killing them previously with some concoction she mixed up, but couldn’t prove it was her. It didn’t work anyway. They got a little brown and then came back with a vengeance. They were always pruned nicely so I have no clue what her problem was with us. But I would definitely call your city council and perhaps district magistrate. I think she’ll end up moving before you. I would also be splashing and making a fun sounding racket in that pool from dusk till dawn everyday. I would even invite people over to use it while I’m at work. 2 can play the “let’s make the twat-waffle neighbour as annoyed as possible” game. Just some thoughts for you anyway. And if you have to impale her, use ice. No evidence left after. Lol

"Cold lead"? C'mon, everybody knows it's hot.

Of COURSE school won't teach you to stand up for yourself in a toxic work environment, because this implies standing up to authority, which suggests that, in spite of the staff's delusions, the authority is NOT some perfect do-no-wrong force that shouldn't be challenged. This means that actual responsibility must be taken for their actions, and schools don't wanna teach kids how to stand up to corrupt pricks now do they?

Karen’s ask for anything even if it’s illegal

I've had that conversation many times with my moms regarding my brothers future. I remember worrying about who could take care of my brother if something were to happen to her as early as 8 years old. I acknowledge that that conversation was not one that she should have been having with an eight-year-old but me and my mom have a weird dynamic where I've always been her emotional punching bag and the idea that I would take care of my brother has always been so ingrained in me so much so that before I married my husband I even told him I'll be taking care of my brother we're a packaged deal. when my mom was going through chemo I stepped up and took care of a lot of my brother's caregiving needs. We've known my brother was autistic since he was three when I was a one-year-old but I didn't learn I was autistic until I was in my twenties and I really wouldn't trust his care with anyone else because no one else understands him like I do I can advocate for his needs in a unique way. The idea of him being stuck in a care facility or Developmental Center is crushing because he was stuck in one for a while after my mother was in a car accident and CPS took them away it took years to get them out there was abuse it was horrifying. My brother is nonverbal but he has a job and a girlfriend and goes to school he has a happy life. Maybe the seventeen-year-olds uncle needs someone who can push for him to go to therapy and get his life together but I also agree it shouldn't be put on the seventeen-year-old shoulders especially behind the parents back maybe It should have been something he was asked if he was interested in doing because he's close to his uncle and his uncle should have been involved in that conversation as well. I Remember for a long time I resented the fact that it was just expected of me to take care of my brother and then as I've gotten older I realized nobody else can step up the way I can it was a choice I made myself in the end.

We humans are monsters

We live in Texas and were a part of that power outage. The problem is that our homes are not made to withstand cold like that, and we do not have the capacity to take care of the roads. So many people were having trouble dealing with it. For us, it wasn't a problem. We have a gas grill, so we could cook. We have sleeping bags rated for -20 degree F. We covered the windows and insulated the best that we could. We had filled up our cars with full tanks of gas and we have power converters for our cars. So, we were able to charge our phones and watch videos on our laptops while we did. I had one neighbor from down the street that said I should allow her to charge her phone while sitting in my car. I told her no and that she could charge it in her car. She said she didn't want to waste her gas while I was already running my car. I ended up telling her to get lost or I would have to call the police. The entitlement of some people runs deep!

The autistic uncle story scares me, because I have the same condition and I've always been scared of having exactly the same circumstances. But at the very least, I'm actually looking for jobs.

OP needs to throw the book at crazy pool Karen. Property damage, harassment, any no-nos to do with construction planning/zoning/permits.
