The last story - OP should hide her moms underwear in her younger brothers room and see how long before her mom screams at him only to walk past and say "boys will be boys, he's at that age, its your fault for having that kind of underwear"
Story 2, I'd ask the coworkers who thought it was wrong to report the guy if they were willing to make lunch for him every day so he didn't have to steal.
My husband was legally mentally disabled, and he never would have dreamed of taking ANYTHING that didn't belong to him without permission! Just because you're disabled doesn't mean you get to steal from others, whether you're hungry or not, or that you're not responsible for your actions! People need to stop using their disabilities to behave badly and try to get out of the consequences! They give people like my late husband a bad name, and he was a good and honorable man!
That homewrecker in story seven had a lot of nerve. Saying she would be a better mother to OP's son when she herself called the kid 'extra baggage'. Hypocrite
Story 2 - I agree, just because someone is disabled doesn’t give that person the right to steal other people’s food. I hate it when people use their ‘disability’ as an excuse to act a certain way.
Same. I'm disabled, but I don't use it as an excuse to act a fool in public. I was raised better than that. Thankfully I have yet to witness such horrendous behavior.
I'm disabled as well and act like I was raised right, also people who are afraid of calling out disabled people on bad behavior are just reinforcing thier ability to get away crappy behavior. They (we) want to be treated equally and should not be given a pass
That shows who Sam has under his thumb with the disabled card. He knows these people will make a fuss for him. That's probably why he has been getting away with it. But now management doesn't care and sees the issue he as a person is.
Story 2: Disabled or not, no co-worker should do that. I’m glad what OP did by reporting him was the straw that broke the camels back for firing that guy because of what OP said. Again, I’m with OP: disabled or not, no coworker should be doing that.
Sometimes it's the disabled people that are the most entitled of all, because they are used to getting special treatment. I remember going to a supermarket and passing a wheelchair bound person screaming at a policeman for giving her a ticket because she had parked her van in the fire lane right outside the door, yelling that all the disabled spots had been taken.
Totally this! It's ridiculous that some people feel so entitled to take others things, disabled or not, whatever they have, they are not entitled to anyone's things....
What planet do you live on? Younger siblings, especially boys look up to their older sisters as a convenience for forefilling their lust that is raging. Stealing intimate items is the only way they can get a sense of what girls intimates feel like as their mother is not a sex object and no sane son sees his mother as such
@hodgeelmwood8677 wearing it, selling it. Trying to fund her size for a probably inappropriate gift idea that he didn't really think through. All weird and yet infinitely better to what he was probably doing. There is something seriously wrong with this kid. I was a teenager once and I have 5 sisters and the very thought of this is actually sickening. Something in his brain ain't wired right
It's hormones, as well as being sexually repressed. Sadly, human brain works on hormones. He's taking the only available sexually attractive woman in his life as a model for his fantasies. Gotta have a proper talk about this stuff and buy the guy a sex toy. Also, he's not trying to have sex with his sister or anything, he's basically mentally incapacitated. You don't shame a six year-old for peeing their bed because most six year-olds don't.
@@racheltorres668 Hey, I enjoy eating spicy foods and have every right to do so. No one forced them to steal my food and eat it. And that's completely true as far as you know.
@@racheltorres668 meh, only assault if they can prove you wouldn't eat it yourself, after all, it's YOUR food that you took to work for YOU to eat. Not your fault the idiot chose to steal your lunch the day you were hankering for something spicy. I'd go with Carolina Reaper just because I'm that much of a sucker for pain from capsaicin. And I talk with my friends about where the best spicy food places are and stuff so it's not like the idiot could have said "well I didn't know they liked spicy food." Well, they could but the office would back me up on the best spicy food places conversations. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
But OP was so proud of herself for winning back her husband from entitled b**ch. Of course her entitled husband was totally innocent of cheating because entitled b**ch wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. A two-year marriage and the guy is already cheating? He’s a real gem.
This part of it, OP did the right thing, true. On the other hand, it seems as if there was a big privacy violation on OPs part by looking through the phone without it being allowed by the Ex. So... Yeah the cheaters absolute aholes, OP only barely better
The pastor and his son are hypocrites. How are you going to stand before people and preach the word of Our Lord and act a damn fool in your real life. STEALING then sending Texts to your victim stating you are not going to pay back rent, left the dwelling you rented in total disarray AND stole the landlord's furniture while putting all this is writing (the texts) is sooo beyond stupid. Then the son had the absolute gall to call the landlord angry because he called the church to let them know about the hypocritical behavior of their pastor and his son is again beyond stupid. They really should be dismissed from their duties at the church. They don't live their personal lives in a way to guide others in their spiritual search.
I’m the type of person where once I have my food, I will never share, unless it is predetermined that both me and another person were going to share the same meal.
I’m the same. I’m usually looking forward to my meal and if someone puts their mitts near my food, they’d better hope that I do no worse than glare at them.
Story 4: You'd be surprised just how many people who claim to have high Christian values act absolutely un-Christian, claiming that God or Jesus will forgive them of their sins. Maybe they will, but I don't.
Ya had a friend of a friend use that logic that he asked God for forgiveness after he was caught being with a underage girl. Then trying to justify his actions I'm a Christian and will be forgiven for his sins would not take responsibility for his actions then turned around saying how we was as bad as him because we drink and smoke socially. I'm like ya ok but I don't go around harming people and scar them mentally for life.
At least the elders (or whatever that particular church calls its leaders) had the decency to realize that the pastor's actions were completely unacceptable.
I worked at a K Mart to help pay for business school. We had "Scooter Lady" and "Scooter Dude" incidents on a weekly basis. The story each time was that the driver never said anything and immediately expected people to just move out of their way. When people didn't move, they were "taught a lesson." Broken toes, broken foot, and even any snapped bones were "their fault for not moving out of my way!" It was insane how my managers had a few detective's direct cell numbers on speed dial...
If he was about to be fired, Sam had two very easy options available to him. 1. Don't steal other people's food instead of making your own with the stuff the company gives you for free. 2. Don't suck so badly at your job that you're on the threshold of being fired. The fact that he's handicapped is irrelevant. He's still a person, and that cuts both ways. Treat him with the dignity of a regular human being, but don't fall over yourself overaccommodating for him just because he's handicapped. If he's about to be fired it's his own damn fault, if he really valued his job he'd try to be better at it or he wouldn't steal food, preferably both at the same time.
I once had to fire an older man we'd hired for a forklift position. He told us upfront that he was profoundly deaf but used hearing aids. Ok, all good! However, once he got the job and was driving the forklift, he was damn near running people over right and left. We'd be screaming at him to stop, go left, go right, etc but he wouldn't. Turned out he decided that wearing his hearing aids was inconvenient now because of the echo in the warehouse. I spoke with him, told him he was a danger to everyone because he couldn't hear them and he absolutely had to wear them in this environment. Next day, same thing happened. So I had to let him go. It wasn't because he had a handicap, it was because he refused to use the tools provided for his handicap, thus becoming a danger to all.
Well, eating other people's food would have a tiny chance of catching HIV from them. But Hepatis A, B, or C, yeah. Many people get a case of Hepatitis A every year from unclean handling of food preparation, and then there's E-coli and common Rhinovirus aka the cold. These are alot easier to catch than HIV, and you're right, it's nasty to eat off of a stranger's plate.
Pastor is the shepherd of the flock. Your flock will have an issue if you are not leading by example. Few sins or transgressions is okay but this is something no minister should do.
Story 9: That is creepy as heck. You don't enable that behavior, because that'll just lead to worse happening. "Boys will be Boys" does not apply to underwear stealing
I was thinking maybe the brother is wearing these things and not using them for other reasons. Either way he's wrong for taking them but that is just what went through my mind. I could be way off though. Lol
@@oonachestnut509I was thinking the same thing since there were multiples of each item taken. If sister is open to the possibility of him preferring to be a her or something like that, she could be the cool sister that accepts him for who he is.
Lunch thief doesn’t get a pass because he is disabled. My comeback to the co-worker saying I should just let him would be to as said co-worker if they are going to buy me lunch when it’s stolen
Story 5 reminds me of an old CD store I would go to. They had a big sign on the back wall that said something along the lines of "we are not above chasing you down the street and beating your ass" 🤣
Story 3: It's probably some petty "I want to get one over you" power play thing, though it could also be attention seeking in this case because the name has some actual importance to the family. It is a genius idea to use a decoy name with no actual significance so Jane could use the name she actually wanted. Name stealing is an annoying thing
Before my brother had kids (and I already did), we were talking about baby names one night. I told him that if I ever had another little girl, I would name her Jessica Nicole - just because I loved how it sounded. As it turned out, my SIL was already expecting, though even my brother wasn't aware of it yet. Eight months later, their daughter is born, and what do they call her? Yep, Jessica Nicole. I know the name wasn't my intellectual property, but it still felt a bit odd. Oh well...
One does have to hope the woman doesn't take her being played out on the baby. She probably hates that her kid has that name now, and anyone petty enough to deliberately steal a name might just neglect or even whack the poor thing when it cries. And for the record, there are four Jims and three Johns in my clan. No problem.
No matter how it hapens... stealing the name on purpose look like a big mental issue!! I mean, you're looking for a name for your beloved child to come : in which world this search has to be an act of pitty revenge or an act to assert dominance? In which dementia you need to be to care to steal a name to annoyed somebody on something so important?!? For me, it at the same level that parent that try to call their child "Fork" or "Tools" or deform the original name to the point of just being annoying (like... Lyidyiah because why not make it complicated when it was a simple name?). It's the kind of thing you do when you're under 16, not creative enough in your pettyness and still trying to figure yourself and the world out. Not when you have a kid!!!
Story 1: who eats from a stranger's plate? What if they had HIV or some other disease? Story 2: If he was so hungry, the free lunch would have been the sensible option. He was using his disability to bully others. I had an experience with a kid in my church like that back in the 80s. He always wanted to be included in things that his body couldn't handle, refused to take his meds and got sick, making everyone uncomfortable. Story 3: "Thou shall not steal." Story 5: And that's why I don't go to Walmart. Story 7: the only hostile environment is her. Story 8: No, it's not normal for teens or pre teens to steal female undergarments.
@@bleachfan2.029 If they have *unprotected* sex (or share injection needles or similar) and the virus load is detectable in the person with HIV and they do not take PrEP … … then yes. Else HIV is not transmitted via handshakes or touching food. At all. Ever. Or from using toilets. Sweet Gandalf’s Mother-in-law, that is knowledge already taught in public schools before 1990 - more than 3 decades ago! You probably also believe that using a toilet can get you pregnant, even when you are a biologically typical male! And think cooties is a death sentence. (Guess what, you now got cooties, from reading this answer. reading “cooties” exactly 3 times in a text - like just happened, transmits it. Have a happy rest-of-life.)
Why does the disabled guy have to steal food because he's 'hungry'? He's WORKING. Doesn't he get paid? For those that think the disabled guy has the RIGHT to STEAL food, GIVE HIM YOURS.
Story #2: everyone who is against OP reporting the theft should GIVE UP their food EVERY DAY to this "disabled" guy! A disability is NEVER an excuse to behave like a brick and even steal from others!
Story 2: "How can you report a disabled person for the crime of being hungry?" Me: How can you infantilize a disabled person to justify the crime of THEFT?
We used to have a work lunch thief our boss refused to address, I decided to take advantage of the lunchroom dressing room lockers. So I bought a lock, a cooler lunch box, several ice packs & a thermos for hot or cold meals. This helped deal with the stealing issue, but my co-workers & boss acted as though I should be fine with their stealing, that I was the problem. I eventually transferred to another location near my college, happy to be far from these entitled lunch thieves.
Right?! OP should have messaged her mom, telling her if boys will be boys, then Mom should be OK with OP raiding her mom's drawers for underwear to give to Jake. Then OP should find the biggest, rattiest, stained piece of underwear she can find of her mother's and give it to Jake. Solve two problems!
i disagree, OP is overreacting to the situation with her brother, yes its weird for her to find out her brother is doing this but at the same time her brother is young, most likely doesnt have a gf, possibly hasnt yet figured out how to really deal with the things he is feeling at that age, if she over reacts like this, he is going to feel ashamed of simply having human arousal, and its going to scar him, yes its wrong of him to steal them, but OP IS over reacting a BETTER reaction would be to calm herself down, then sit down with him and talk to him,
@@woteveruk1 But how is she supposed to deal with this otherwise? She did the right thing by going to her mother. Do you have siblings? Because if she tried explaining this to her brother, he would either not listen or reject what she’s saying entirely, simply because siblings can be like that. Whereas their mother would have had a much easier time explaining it simply because she’s their mother, not a sibling. If you have any siblings, you should know what it’s like when trying to explain something of that nature to them.
@@malum6585 yes, i have 2 brothers, however you are stating " if she tried explaining this to her brother, he would either not listen or reject what she’s saying entirely, simply because siblings can be like that. Whereas their mother would have had a much easier time explaining it simply because she’s their mother, not a sibling." as though its a definite fact, its NOT, SOME siblings can be like that, SOME mothers might have an easier time dealing with it. some, NOT all, and you dont know for certain that he wouldnt listen, siblings can be like that, however NOT all siblings are ACTUALLY like that, HOWEVER just because its easier for the mom, doesnt mean the sister shouldnt be talking to him herself how is she supposed to handle it? she talks to him herself to begin with, because NOBODY knows how he will react untill she does, different people will react differently to different situations siblings or not, if he continues to do it afterwards THEN you get the mother involved, but she should try to deal with it herself first, thats what adults do, they deal with things themselves, its called being responsible, and she said shes 18, an adult, she should be able to talk to her brother in a calm way and explain how she feels, explain her point of view to him, and get him to understand, calling in her mother should have been the last resort NOT the first,
@@woteveruk1 SHE may be an adult, yes, but her brother is still technically a child. So sorting things out “as adults” falls short by a little bit. If they were both adults, sure, absolutely talk about it first. Like you said yourself, not everyone acts the same. Her brother, for all we know, is not emotionally or mentally mature enough to handle OP’s way of explaining things. She, in turn, while is considered an adult, is still a teenager, whose emotions might not quite be in check herself, and may affect how that conversation could go. Also, you’re right, I don’t know their situation. But based on that short exchange, I’m ASSUMING that if she tried to explain it herself, it won’t go well for her. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, and will admit I was, but until then, that’s where I stand for the time being.
These people love to scam the gullible and you can;t find them much easier to fleece than the probbaly evangelicals. They don't even require the pastors to go to school first. It can be just anyone talking nonsense and they'll give them their money.
Scooter Karen story reminded me of a situation that happened to me at the walls of marts about a year ago to me. I'm a disabled person and in my 50s driving one of those scooters to the check outs I see the register isle that I liked to use and headed towards it. Before I get there I pulled over to the side to allow a late 20s to early 30s woman coming. Well she stopped directly in front of me with about 3-4 inches in front of me. I told her that I'm wanting to enter this till and asked if she could go around me. She didn't like that at all and then proceeded to berate me for thinking that I was privileged because of a of my disability and refused to move and told me to go around her. I asked her if she really wanted to go like that and she called me some not very nice things. Well here we are scooter to cart I take a deep breath and just started to go straight with her in my way. She moved lol
Here's my cynical input on that last story. Mother brushes it off as "boys will be boys" and "buy him a dirty magazine" upon hearing he is stealing sister's underwear. A few years later, brother comes out and tells mother he wants HRT to transition and live as a woman, and mother loses her mind screaming her "what has this world come to" crazy rant.
Oh my gosh! That is too funny! That's exactly what I was thinking lol. I can't even imagine someone that I don't know reaching over into my plate and grabbing something off of it but I love my hamburgers too much I don't even know what I would've done if they would've grabbed my burger LMAO. I'm not too big on most kinds of french fries so if I know you I always share them because I only eat a few of them.
Story 1: Be VERY careful if you are approached by a woman who does something odd or unusually flirty. It's not uncommon for female con artists to approach men this way, the only intent being to distract him while her accomplice steals his wallet...or his wife's purse.
I feel so bad for "Mustard Lady" as well, especially since my wife uses a scooter as well. We do our best to be courteous and say "excuse us" and what not. Always annoys me when people are assholes like that.
Last Story: … Tell the brother he’s not allowed to take your underwear, but you called mom and she said it was okay to take hers instead. See how long that lasts
Story 1 - I’ve only had my nieces take food from my plate (some grapes, chips, a few fries… no biggie) at a family gathering but definitely NOT a complete stranger at a random place. If that had happened to me I wouldn’t even want to finish the food and I’d throw it away because who knows what that stranger had last touched.
i used to share dame blanches with my youngest nephew, he would never finish his icecream even the kiddy ones so he got a few bites of mine and went off to play lol
Story 9: Actually, the best case scenario, IMHO, is that her brother may actually be genderqueer or discovering some trans affinity, and has taken the underwear because they wanted to find out what it was like to try wearing something like that themselves. This sort of thing is not uncommon in the early stages of this sort of self-discovery, and has nothing to do with any kind of sexual desires, etc. It is simply a convenient way to get access to a type of clothing which they otherwise feel is out of their reach, but they find themselves curious about and drawn to nonetheless. IMHO, she really should sit down and have a serious talk with them about the situation, and find out exactly what is going on and why. If this actually is a sexual thing, then he needs to be told in no uncertain terms that it makes her very uncomfortable, and doing things like stealing underwear from _anybody_ without their permission is extremely disrespectful, it is an invasion of privacy, and is actually a form of sexual harassment, which is not OK. Try to approach the situation calmly. In many cases like this, the real issue is just that the boy has never actually thought about the situation from someone else's perspective, and forcing him to think about how it makes the girl feel and the actual reasons why the behavior is inappropriate in general will often be enough to make him actually not want to do it anymore. But if he still refuses to stop doing it, the most effective approach would probably be to threaten to make the whole thing public to all of his friends/school (which he almost certainly will not want to happen, so hopefully that will be enough motivation to make him actually stop). Worst case, if you cannot get him to stop, and you still get no help from your parents, this behavior _is actually a crime,_ so you can call the police and report it to them, if nothing else works. However, if they are actually doing it for other reasons, such as trying to better understand their own gender/sexuality/etc, then I would encourage trying to be supportive, as this can be an extremely difficult time for somebody to go through, and they could probably really use a sympathetic ear far far more than angry threats or punishments. Maybe offer to help them obtain that sort of underwear that they can have for themselves, so they don't have to steal things from you, help them figure out whether it's just curiosity or there's something more fundamental there, talk with them about what it's like being a girl, etc. It's also possible that there is something else going on here, and maybe they don't want to do it but actually have some sort of compulsion and cannot stop themselves, etc. In that case, it would be best to try to help them talk to a professional about the situation and help them work through it, before it potentially gets even worse and becomes a much larger problem in their life. This may actually require doing things like setting up an appointment for them yourself, and going with them when to make sure they actually go, etc. (Also, note that if it is sexual in nature, that still doesn't necessarily mean that he's actually sexually attracted to you (his sister). Quite often in cases like this the underwear is just used as a stand-in prop for some other fantasy, like pretending that it actually belongs to a girl he likes instead. Yes, it's still a bit creepy, and still completely unacceptable, but it's important to understand that it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with things like incest or attraction to you specifically.)
I think this accurately covers the best options for most possible situations here. Like, yes it is wrong, but it is most likely that they haven't fully considered the issue (whatever it might be) from the other person's perspective.
Thank you for this, yes. There's less than creepy possibilities here. It's still wrong and uncomfortable to steal clothes and there should still be a discussion about it, but we out here on the internet just don't know enough about the situation to be sure.
If it were more than her underwear, like, if she had found one of her dresses or skirts that he had squirreled away, I'd be more inclined to lean into the crossdressing thing. But yeah, sis needs to sit him down and have a long talk with him about it, because its obvious mommy is not going to take on any of the responsibility that the situation requires, especially if it involves therapy.
For the lunch thief, those defending the thief should be buying the lunch thief’s meals from that day forward as they’re do eager to come to his defence.
All the coworkers who were criticizing the guy who reported the disabled person repeatedly stealing his food were free to share their own food with the hungry disabled coworker.
This lunch thief is the worst. Being hungry is one thing. He had free options provided. But to use your disability to continue being a thief? There are plenty of disabled people who would never lower themselves to become a thief. Disgraceful to use this as an excuse!
In my state we will get fired if we go after any thieves. I guess if an employee hurts the thief, they can sue. Messed up but could only really yell at thieves.
So I once took my girlfriend out to dinner. It was an outing with other people. We get our appetizers and one of our friends asked if she could have one. The staff seeing this said "Did you pay for it?" obviously she didn't. I looked at my friend and said "This is for me and my girlfriend. I bought it for us. If we let you have some everyone else would want one." Shut her up pretty quickly. So I can kinda relate to OP even though it was a friend. Also we have assisted living so staff means they help out with certain things.
Years ago, at my Dad's work, the top managers (6-7 men) used to go to a local restaurant every Friday for lunch (business expense, of course). One guy always got fries with his sandwich. Guy next to him would order for himself, but never get fries. He preferred reaching over to take fries off the other guy's plate. He was warned, every week, to order his own & keep his hand out of his plate. After a few months, he gave the guy a final warning. Guy got a little smug look on his face. Next time, grabbed fries as usual, & had a fork stabbed into the back of his hand. Shock! "I warned you, get your own!"
Sorry for novella commentary on each story...😂😂 Story 1: 🤢🤮 no, just NO!! Apparently a word Karen has never heard, otherwise she wouldn't be putting her grubby, nasty hands on other's food!! Story 2: I'm disabled. There are NO excuses for stealing someone's food. He had the option to make his OWN food in the company cafeteria, but just wanted to steal OP's food for spite. Story 3: I had that happen to me & learned the hard way from my mistake. Was 6 months pregnant working a temp job. Karen's daughter was pregnant with a boy as well. After hearing the name, she ran to call daughter & apparently daughter Karen wanted the name! I was further along than she was at the time & delivered 3 weeks early. Not to mention, I would never see them after the job was over. But now... now you hear the name Grayson EVERYWHERE!!! Most that I know are younger than my son, so idc🤷🏽♀️😂. Actually, he just had a son of his own & I NEVER said what his name was to ANYONE!!! 😂 So yes, name stealing IS a thing. Story 4: so the renter/pastor could only PREACH the 10 commandments, but couldn't ABIDE by them. What a great example of a "good Christian".🙄 Story 5: A dummy stealing a dummy, but can't call for that ride he's gonna need!! Maybe the popo can give him one??!!😂 Story 6: should have taken EVERYTHING out of the scooter basket & put them ALL on top shelves!!😂😂 Again, I'm disabled, but I'm not a thief, nor am I a rude a$$ who thinks they own everything, including all the floor space in the aisles!! Story 7: sorry, but it's THAT easy to turn him against his wife & kid, there would NEVER be a second chance!! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. And there will more likely BE a second time!! Story 8: how much are we all willing to bet that the entitled twerp blamed EVERYONE else for all the problems she was having??!! She better be glad the OP was nice. Otherwise, I'm with Fluff on it all being left outside the room. 🤷🏽♀️ Story 9: uhhh, WTAF???!!! That's absolutely disgusting, for one. But two, the fact the mom is ok with this & just says "boys will be boys" is a bit concerning!! I didn't realize Alabama moved across the pond!!
She sounds like a pro, she knew what to say to get him. She probably wanted to do the same to the son and get him to be against OP. So Ex-hubby could get custody and she would have a family and ability to keep him the dad
Rental Story: If I was OP's father, when the Tenant's Son called to complain that I ratted his Thieving Father out to the Church, I'd have simply responded with "Your dad claims to be a Good Christian AND a pastor and yet he's forgotten one of the Ten Commandments...THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!" and hang up on him... Then call a Lawyer to Sue the buggers for the FULL cost of the Rent Owed and the value of the stolen furniture plus my Legal and cleaning costs...
Disabled guy here, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you disabled people can and should behave just as well as anyone else. Nothing pisses me off more than when people use their disability as an excuse to misbehave.
Disability is not a get-out-of-responsibility-free card! Sincerely, a person with mental, neurological and physical disabilities just trying to live my damn life.
10:45 What makes you think pastors are by default good people? Many are in fact conmen praying on the desperate. My guess is that the guy was only a pastor because the position shielded him from critisism and retribution.
Last Story: if op’s brother steals her underwear, steal his and lock it away somewhere and say to him “you get them back until you return everything you have stolen from me” that would teach him a lesson.
@@Summertime-ye3wg that would definitely destroy the brothers life and there’s no taking it back once it’s uploaded😬. Those two comenters didn’t think things through
Some years ago I was in the W Mart and was pushing my cart down the right hand side of the aisle as we do in the states. A rather rotund lady, think six inches of derriere hanging off either side of her Mart-cart, was scootering her way up the aisle toward me on the same side. I follow the rules of the road even indoors, traffic stays to the right, so I was on the right side of the aisle. Barge Marge gets right in front of me and yells "MOVE!" It's not worth an argument so I move over and let her by but she has made me mad. Several aisles further down I see Free Willy again and this time she tells me, not asks, to get her something off the top shelf. I'm 6'1" so I get this request often when I'm shopping. What doesn't happen often is me looking at the other person and saying "I'm sorry, Jumbo, but you're gonna have to get that yourself." Sometimes, for your own sanity, you just have to say what's on your mind.
story 2: the true solution is the people that complained about the woman reporting the food thief is to tell sam that those other people had said it was ok to take their food.
Story 2: The people that decided to somehow side against OP have lost the plot. If that was truly an issue with them, they should band together to bring in food for the thief.
Story 3 OP better make sure their nephew is well care for. The little sister may turn her resentment towards the child. Especially as fluff said the child being a reminder every day of how she was duped.
Story 4 - That pastor should have been fired regardless of whether he settled with his former landlord. He's clearly dishonest. Who would want someone like that as their spiritual leader?
I hope The church didn't investigate those two because that sounds like they're doing something illegal on the side as well. Also OP's needed to take them to small claims court because that's a lot of money. My dad has to do it all the time when you get an amount that exceeds over $2,000 like that you can't just forget about it and say that's the cost of furniture.
I have an older sister who wanted to steal my daughter's name. When she found out I was having a girl and we told her what her name would be she got really upset and demanded that she had the right to the name because she was older and she thought of it first. Me and my husband had decided our children's names years before we ever had any of them. My sister eventually had a daughter, over 10 years after my daughter was born, and is STILL bitter that she didn't get the name!!
I remember a video of a little kid steal some cheese sauce of woman's table one time. That kind of situation you can at least laugh it off. But to have a grown strange woman eating off your plate. That just plain weird and creepy.
Story 2: Let’s be honest: ANYONE giving Op grief have never had their lunches stolen. “How can you report him for being hungry” …well thats certainly a…creative way of looking at this scenario…
@@RudesMomTrue, but once you destroy personal items: 1) that makes it easier to catch on camera/ eye witnesses. 2) in some areas of the world, adding locks makes it a heavier crime. Bike locks, home locks etc 3) some lunch boxes can be pretty expensive. So you could potentially add in more to a personal/criminal case. 4) many work areas/offices don't allow blades of any sort, so you could add in more weight for firing the employee bringing in a personal blade.
@@bonnieballew7762 it could add into a greater chance of eye witnesses/security cameras taking notice. Plus, in some eras of the world, it could land the lunch thief in hotter water. Destruction of personal property. Or be used as evidence of harassment.
Really only one thing OP CAN do in that last one - confront her brother, and tell him to stop stealing her stuff RIGHT NOW, or there will be consequences. The rest is kind of a play-it-by-ear situation, I suppose (I guess the best-case scenario is that he stops and they never speak of it again), but at the very least, he needs it emphasized that, regardless of what their mom says, this is NOT okay and she won't put up with it - they can't go forward from there until that's established.
This would probably work because the brother was scared that he got caught. Much better then two responses I read were they said the brother should be “shamed” in front of his friends or on social media. Seriously? Switch shame with ruin his life.
@@bleachfan2.029 Right, exactly. The mom may be underreacting, but she's right in that we ARE talking about a teenage boy, here. No, he shouldn't just get away with it, and at minimum, he's probably made his relationship with his sister VERY weird for the next few years or so - the kid, it could be said, has issues. But this is the sort of thing that families can work out in private; there's no reason to make this a big, loud, public disgrace at the point where he's on the verge of adulthood, and his reputation actually matters. Let him know it's not cool; give him a chance to mend his ways, and let things go from there.
Story 2: tell those co workers to either shut up and give the disabled co worker their food if they care so much or to prepare for a talk with HR about a hostile work environment and see how fast they back off
Story #2 - seems like no one else wanted to report a disabled person so they just tolerated it until someone, OP, came along and did what they couldn't do. Story #6 - OP, aisle is how you spell those between shelves in stores. Isle is a small island or peninsula
The cousin of my sister's ex did something similar to the phone story. He had been robbing cash stores in the city & hadn't been caught. Well the last store he robbed, he left his keys on the counter & as soon as he booked it out the door they locked it so he had no choice but to leave his car behind. His partner in crime also got caught in what to me was a hilarious way. One of his relatives turned him in for the reward money. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
If I were Tina's husband, I'd tell her that not only is she going to pay to have our child's name changed to one of MY choice out of her own pocket but she's going to save two grand to give that child when they turn sixteen. It's the least form of penance she can pay for doing such a foolish, petty thing.
Story 1: If someone tried to steal food from me, I'd yell "Thief!" and hopefully get everyone's attention. Story 2: Everyone should have sided with OP. The victim is always right. The thief is always wrong. Those who sided with Sam should have been fired along with him for their wrongness.
2nd story: NTA. if it was a one time thing and he had no issues. thats one thing. but he did did a lot and op had asked him to stop. what was op to do? let him steal his lunch? pack double? not bring food? op said he had gotten in trouble before and was in thin ice. if it wasnt for lunch theft..it wouldve been something else
Story 9: Yeah i would say your overeating just a bit. This kind of behavior is super common with boys that age (like %90 of the populace) and OP's mother's suggestion is a pretty smart way to address it quickly without things escalating. I imagine in the next two years it'll pass anyway (it doesn't last long).
Story 2: I've said this before, I don't like lunch thieves. What if OP had dietary issues and his lunch was stolen? That meant that he couldn't go to McDonald's or Taco Bell for his lunch. Or what if he was on medication that had to be taken with food? That meant that his dose was late or even missed. There are some medications that can't be missed at all. And that could be life threatening. And being disabled is no excuse for stealing anything.
One Sunday, a few years ago, I was eating in a restaurant at a table next to a neighbor of mine (yeah, he lives eight miles away, but in my area, that means that only about 50 people live closer than him), his wife, and a woman I didn't know. When I needed some butter for my roll, I asked the waitress (a cousin of a brother-in-law) for some butter and she suggested borrowing some from the next table. So I leaned over and asked if they were through with the butter. The neighbors didn't bat an eyelash and handed me the butter, but the woman I didn't know appeared to be completely shocked by my question.
Screw a bunch of that! I hate the phrase “boys will be boys“ I am one, and I never acted like that, neither did any of the friends I had, or my older brother. I have a son who did not act like that, also have a 15-year-old daughter, who I am fully 100% willing to break my oath to the Lord after I got out of the military. I swore I would never take another life, but anybody messes with my daughter. Well, you can guess what would happen.
Hitting someone with a scooter… Isn't that assault with a deadly weapon? I'm sure a few years in prison would do marvels on the health of that "scooter lady".
Story 1, reach into my plate is the best way to learn the consequences of your actions! I had a close friend in high school who did this a lot, even after me telling her to keep her hands out of my food/plate: I may or may have not been watching her and she wound up with a fork in the back of her hand. She kept her hands out of everyone's plates after that.
Story 2: both my parents are also handicapped as they both have arthritis in both their knees (anyone who has arthritis will know how painful it is) however they don't use their handicapped placard as a get out of jail free card to steal other people's food, so any arguments this guy has goes up in smoke
"Stolen" fries story: And given that you don't know anything about the woman's medical conditions or where her hands have been recently, I'd be throwing the rest of those fries out, very visibly if the woman was still watching. Workplace stolen lunch story: Yeah, Sam was USING his handicap in order to get away with his bullying stealing food. He wasn't going hungry as there were options provided by the company. Civil war name story: It also served as a warning to Tina not to try it again with any future pregnancies. She would never know if the name was a real choice or not. Thieving tenants story: If I was one of the church elders, I'd still fire at least the pastor. I would not want this so-called Christian pastor setting an example that it's okay to steal in my church. RA story: I would have packed up her stuff the same, but given it to the resident manager or some member of senior faculty. Someone that entitled could try to break into the room to get her stuff and steal yours while she's at it. Underwear thief story: OP, what you do is treat some of your underwear (what you found in his room) and possibly even some of HIS underwear with itching powder. If he's doing what we all suspect he's doing, he'll quickly lose the urge to do it with YOUR stuff. Make sure to thoroughly wash your things afterwards.
For the last story, the simple remedy is to insist that since he had to take it then he must wear it. No arguments. Speaking as a mother here, this is what you do. There's no problem here. He's bound to look gorgeous.
1st story reminds of a short funny story. a guy is at park, then hears "who wants ice cream". without thinking he goes to that person who has a confused look on their face like "who is this guy"....then op realized the guy was at a family bbq in park and was asking the kids there
