I actually think there is something wrong "upstairs" with them. As in, some as yet undiagnosed medical psychological issue. Did "scapegoat" somehow cause mother more pain during birthing? Terrible pregnancy? Hubby was cheating while she was pregnant and it's all scapegoat's fault? Yep. They're nutz.
My parents know that by first hand. They were the least favorite ones in the family. Grand dad on my father's side wanted to have daughters and only got sons, my grandparents on my mother's side wanted to have a son, got a son in the end ( my uncle is the junior by 11 years), and they favoured him over my mother.
Story 3: the worst part for me is that OP was denied a meal without even being told beforehand, even though the mom paid for his OLDER brother. That is the worst example of blatant favoritism I've ever heard of.
true.but i am wondering if the elder brother had a job and is giving money to the parents.i don't think it was mentioned.though,it was extremely sad and annoying that a just turned 18 on his birthday is being bullied and humiliated by his own parents and brother...
The principle is ok : you are major, now you pay for your stuff. But, the birthday is definitively not the moment to do so. And, I would say it's not way too. If you want them to work and provide for them self, give them what you're confortable with, and for everything else, ask them to find money. Like, for legos (yeah... I'm old!), cell phone plan extra, video game, ... : work! Take care of your money; don't spend everything as soon as you get some for birthday & other stuff. Don't humiliate them "by surprise" in a public area in front of everybody : you'll just create a lot more issue!
Story 3: If this story is true, then Op just learned that their 'family' didn't love them as much as they thought they did. The whole 'you're 18 and you're an adult now, so you have to pay for your own food' while the 23 year old brother gets his food payed for by mommy is so hypocritical. Parents have a favorite, and it isn't Op.
Last story: that the brother kept retelling that story many years later tells me everything I need to know about what a jerk he is. And he also doesn't seem to realize how poorly that story reflects on himself, when he thinks all he's doing is tormenting his brother. OP caused far more drama than he intended, but I think the end result is good. Jerk brother got taught a lesson (if he even pays attention to it at all), the new wife escaped, and OP got some measure of justice.
Well, the brother's crazy over reaction in slapping the cake out of the wife's hands is what REALLY kicked off the crazy. And they only assumed OP pooped in the cake because the brother had done that. Seems pretty clear the couple had a LOT of problem before the wedding.
That brother must be a moron to not realise that his brother couldn't have added anything to the cake when it was being made, unless he was a baker and made the cake, as for what he did to the cookies, why we nobody called him out on such appalling behaviour?!
@Dark Wizard it’s not just don’t dish it out. Kids can be stupid and cruel (not an excuse), but bragging about it for his entire life, that says something very different.
But doing so would not been remotely as cruel. I suggest that cruelty and humiliation was the parents (for whatever twisted motive) intended gift to OP.
Devil's advocate: if OP was further on the ASD/ADHD spectrum than the rest of the family it may have been a family traditional prank. The usual result would be another family covering the bill and everyone laughing it off. /advocate My own opinion? Eff those parents.
Last story, sounds like that poorly timed joke helped the bride get out of a bad marriage when it could still be annulled and the brother finally got a decade or so of karma brought on him. With that update, dude is absolutely NTA
While I get that pulling a prank on the groom's wedding day is in poor taste, but you know what else, openly admitted that you made the person who pranked in retaliation, that you tricked them into eating your feces as a child
Story 2: You're right, not all "Karens" are Karens. My sister texted me a few months ago freaking out that she was a Karen because she asked for a manager. She'd been trying to get her fridge fixed under warranty for 5-6 months at that point and had not once asked for a supervisor or a manager until that day. I'm pretty sure a Karen would've asked for a manager on day 1
I mean ... if I bought a brand new fridge and day 1 it wasn't working and it wasn't getting an immediate replacement if I was not at fault, I would be calling a manager too. We need to stop calling all women "Karens" just because they don't accept bad service. There's a difference between demanding what is rightfully owed to you and being entitled. People seem to pretend that line doesn't exist anymore.
@@darkmask5933 true. Several guys had been to her house to fix the fridge. All had failed. It wasn't until she talked to the manager that they sent out a guy who knew about Samsung fridges. All the other guys specialized in other brands...
The simple explanation for story 3 is that op is the scapegoat and the brother is the golden child. Kind of surprised the mom only wanted op to pay for their own meal and not for the whole family.
@@rachelquintero9488 yea, 18 is rough financially even with a job cause of high school. To spring it on your kid after they order knowing they dont have a job and you normally pay for the kid; its so cruel and on purpose. Thats the type of mother that isn't a parent and deserves to die lonely.
Story 5: Okay, the update seals OP as not the asshole. That does make it sound more like his brother has personality issues, and frankly the 'prank' is kind of indicative of that. Yes, they were kids at the time, but the fact he never came clean about the truth, apparently never apologized, and apparently never learned that doing such a thing isn't really a 'prank' anyways if the other party doesn't find it funny, means that OP was just returning to sender. Perhaps his brother can finally learn that you can't just mistreat someone, even a sibling as a kid, and just make it disappear over time as though it never happened. You need to take ownership and apologize. But then again his overreaction seems to suggest he has not learned this lesson yet.
But the brother kept telling everyone his version of the story, so he didn't feel bad at all and didn't care. If the OP had never pulled his prank, then the brother would never have fest up about what he really did. He thought that it was funny their whole lives and would have kept telling the story until he died if the OP hadn't done what he did.
Karen knows sulfur when she smells it because she spent her previous life in Hell before Satan kicked her out after she complained to him way to often.
It's a good thing that the OP got sick in it and didn't try to "tough it out" and eat one of the cookies. Think what the brother would have done if the OP had eaten one.... OP is not the ass but the brother just got sweet karmic justice, even if the OP didn't know it at the time.
When and how would OP have had access to the cake in order to tamper with it? Wedding cakes are usually delivered fully iced and decorated. Any attempt to mess with it would be noticeable and observed. There are also some other “facts” I question. I don’t think this story is real.
@@katmandudawn8417 I think the brother didn't thought that out. He truly believe that if he can do it, OP probably can too, no matter how. Maybe like a revenge prank or something. Honestly the brother is a toxic sibling, a bully. He doesn't want to think, he prefer blaming everything wrong to OP. I suggest OP to LC the brother. Btw, I'm curious about granpa's cookies. Did he do nothing to brother for spoiling the cookies? No punishment? Nothing? If it's true, no wonder the brother continue to be a major spoilt bully.
Story 3: The problem I have with the parents is (1) if they’re going to make OP pay for his own birthday dinner, they should have told him before leaving for the restaurant, instead of springing it on him like they did; and (2) if 18 is old enough to pay for your own meal, then 23 is too. Paying for the older brother’s meal after insisting that OP pay for his own is just a slap in the face.
Last story.... like... if all details as presented are true... For sure, NOT the a-hole. That brother was a horrible person that got everything they deserved out of that encounter.
To OP in the 3rd story, personally I don't care how old you are, it's YOUR birthday (The one day of the year were everything is about you) and they paid for your 23 year old brother Yes it's good for kids to learn some responsibility as they get older. But if they knew that you had issues with talking to other people, then they should've respected that
I mean, I've literally never started a meal at a restaurant with calling over the server. They come around when they're ready, I've never had to wait long enough that it's a problem. So they fact that they want him to do that is ridiculous.
Story 3: Crap family, that's all there is to it. Also, if I were that server I wouldn't have hesitated to ask why only the youngest person here, who admits they have no money, must have a separate bill. That wouldn't have sat right with me, and I would have brought it up with management. Now I've never worked in a restaurant, but I'm sure the whole staff's goal is to be sure every guest has a pleasant experience, and I'd like to think somebody being bullied and excluded from their own party would warrant some intervention. Again, no experience, but just letting that happen seems all kinds of wrong.
Idk I'd disagree. She escalated it unnecessarily and couldn't gotten OP in serious trouble over something as dumb as a homemade rocket. I do think OP was dumb to do it in public, but calling the cops was an entitled move
@@PyroRoadScout just wrote my own comment on that. OP is an idiot but Karen is still a Karen by escalating the situation and causing panic. If she truly thought it was a threat then why wait around to inform police instead of calling them immediately
The fact that whatever fuel was used in that rocket ate through the pavement had me nervous and then the fact they threw it in a field and just left it there. This could have been an environmental hazard. Next time, stick to baking soda and vinegar.
@@PyroRoadScoutyou spelled 'getting op in trouble for building and lighting a rocket when he clearly didn't know what he was doing' wrong. He absolutely deserved and needed consequences for that. She did the right thing. Also i have to note at the beginning. He was sick and felt like death. I feel like he was fibbing a bit to get out of work and did the stupidest thing imaginable by going out of his house and drawing a bunch of attention. Dude's not very bright.
Story 3. I'll never understand why parents immediately try to kick their kids out of the house when they turn eighteen. They always go "oh you're eighteen now which means you're an adult, which means you're on your own!" Yeah, this unemployed, fresh out of highschool kid who has no money is definitely ready to take on the real world. It's not the first place they're gonna end up is either in a crappy apartment with a mediocre part time job or a homeless shelter. Just because you're eighteen and legally an adult, doesn't mean you're capable of handling the responsibilities of an adult, especially since you lack that one thing human beings need to live: money! Hell, I'm twenty six years old and I still live with my Mom because I haven't finished college yet but once I do, I'll be able to work and help pay the bills and eventually get my own place. My Mom didn't kick me out when I turned eighteen because she knew that without money I'd have nowhere to go and no way to survive. You know what my Mom did do on my eighteenth birthday? She took me to eat at a fancy seafood restaurant along with my sister and grandpa, and as a present, she gave me front row seat tickets to a Katy Perry concert!
I was paying my own way from 15 onward. I paid for my incidentals, gas, car insurance, car maintenance, & clothing + I gave my Parents 'money for the house' each paycheck. When I turned 16 & could work f/t, I started paying for my medical stuff as well. The only things I didn't pay were rent & utilities. My 'money for the house' paid for my food but by Sr yr in HS, I was never home to eat. You can teach your child financial responsibility without kicking them out on the street to fend for themselves.
For me 2 days after I turned 18 my dad and stepmom gave me an ultimatum that either I drop out of school and get a job or stay in school and be kicked out of the house immediately and since I didn't have anywhere to go I had to drop out sadly.
@@benpatterson5771 Unbelievable. I had my Nephew move in with me so he could go back to school. He worked f/t & went to school p/t. I truly believe some Parents don't want their kids to be more successful than they are. My own Mom was jealous of me because I had the life she wanted... no marriage, no kids, a degree, & a high-paying job. Go figure!
It's cos at 18yo they don't LEGALLY have to keep you feed, clothed, shelter So it means the only reason they did before is cos they legally had to do that bare minimum to keep you alive Aka you've always been a burden to them in their eyes Everyone deserves good parents Not all people deserve kids though
The fact the the brother imidiatelly thought of his own actions really is telling. It's his wedding if that is still in the front of his mind he's a child that deserves all the psychological warfare that is going to ensue.
Story 3: The parents were in the wrong, not OP. If they expected OP to pay for his own meal, they should have sat down with him before going to the restaurant and tell that this was going to be what was going to happen. Plus, the parents were paying for a 23 yr old sibling. The parents were the just awful.
Absolutely! OP had no idea he was going to have to pay for his food. If I was him and the tradition was my parents pay for my birthday I wouldn’t have brought money either. They should have explained it before they got to the restaurant rather than embarrass him. And they paid for the brother? Talk about favorites
I used to work in a cave as a tour guide. I never regretted it, I loved it so much I named my son after that cave. If someone had ever behaved so badly, I would have told her to get out and never come back. Lucky for me, the worst behavior was a woman screaming because she saw a bat. The bat had been spooked from it's nap and was only trying to get away from us scary creatures. The owners of the cave had left a way in and out for bats, so it escaped unharmed. I knew where one bat liked to nap, and I would go and carefully peek at it when I wasn't busy. It never moved or seemed to know I was peeking. I loved that bat! I later found out that the local bats eat mosquitoes and other bugs. Bats became my most favorite wild life! Next in line were the ones that eat ticks. If I ever own property, it will be filled with bat houses and safe places for opossums to sleep!
@@starrywizdom If my apartment complex would allow it, I would already have bat houses. My friend has plenty of wildlife on his few acres, so I sometimes feel a bit jealous. I do spend a few weeks per year visiting him and getting to see some nature 🥰
Jkiwi needs to tell all the neighbors "Hey, I'm gonna need more work. My parents told me I need to pay for my own food and let me go hungry on my 18th birthday." Your parents need this behavior dragged into the light so they are properly ostrosized.
There's a fine line between "tough love" and bullying. The parents paid for the older son's food, they could have paid for the birthday child's dinner too. Especially since they didn't at least give a heads up.
That one about the guy that had to pay for his meal on his birthday. How cruel can that family be? I can't imagine anyone in my family doing tha to another. No matter how much they dislike that person.
i'd let my brother try and sue me then bring up in court he shat in those cookies for a 9 year old child so it's a part of public court records forever
In the last story, the siblings on my mum’s side of the family always put the blame on me. I ended up being everyone’s(including my mum’s) punching bag for years. Regardless, I’ve stood up for myself many times and I grew thick skin from the ‘verbal shots’ over the years
Story 3. How do you take the birthday person out to dinner and spring on them that they have to pay their own bill with no warning? WTF? I would have left.
Story 3: Yes, you definitely need to learn to start paying for things when you turn 18, but a birthday dinner, I believe that can be an exception. And rather than just let it slide and order for OP, the parents decide to just not order for OP and let him starve. I don't believe this to be tough love. That's being petty, especially since they were going to pay for the 23 yr old.
Nothing changes if you are 18, if you do not have a job you can't pay bills. Most 18 year olds are in school. who goes get a job at 17 because they have to start paying their parents at 18?
You know how a bad deed sometimes ends up being for the best? That's the last story for me. It seems like OP inadvertedly saved that woman from being married to that piece of s---.
Story 4: I got flashbacks to a story with a somewhat similar premise. Putting a long story short, this woman was deliberately melting her desktop computers with a space heater as a malicious way to get out of work and blame the tech support for it. It took about three melted computers and a laptop (which she also wanted) before management wised up, and after discovering she did no actual work, she was never seen on the company premises again.
Story 3 - That is... beyond cruel. It's their birthday, and for the family to suddenly decide OP needs to pay for their own birthday meal, berate them for being "entitled" and then spend the next Dat ignoring them, all without any explanation of what they did wrong... OP deserves far, far better than that. Seriously, if money was the concern, just tell OP that they can't do it this year and make an effort to make up for it, or at least say they'll have to pay for their own food if they go. But what they did... that was premeditated. They legitimately thought this was going to be teaching OP a "valuable" lesson, but all it did was destroy their self-esteem. Family doesn't do this.
Story 3: I would've pointed to my brother and said _also a separate bill._ Then when she crawled down my throat I would've told her that if she's going to expect me to pay my own bill, then he has to pay his own, too. Otherwise, I'm just going to go back to the car.
Story 3: what horrible parents. How to ruin someone's birthday. You don't take someone out for their birthday and spring it on them they have to pay for themselves. Then to let him sit & watch everyone eat on his birthday whilst he has nothing. I would have got up & walked out.
I’ve made some jokes over my older brother’s mistakes and goofs, but they’ve only stayed between me and him as they’re our own personal business I’d never do anything to try and embarrass him in front of others with something that he did when we were kids. OP’s brother sounds like he had some red flag behavior if he carried it on into adulthood and I’m glad OP’s joke helped get that woman away from his brother
I still don't see why the younger brother should be embarrassed by the story. The only one who should be embarrassed is the older brother. Never mind if he farted or shat into that jar.
I had to indirectly deal with a Karen last night. Karens will call the police over the tiniest thing. I was in a shopping center parking lot where I usually park for at least part of the night because I live in my car, so people are used to seeing me there and nobody has ever complained. Last night, after 10PM, when there was no one around me because almost everything was closed, I decided to move my car over a foot closer to the curb next to me, so if someone parked next to me in the morning, they would have more space. I left my door open since I was just moving over a bit in the same spot, and some Karen called the police and said I was driving around the parking lot with my door open. So, 3 or 4 cops showed up, shining spot lights in my car and everything just because I'd moved my car a foot over with my door open. I can't believe someone would call the police over that. At least one of the officers knew me, so they just asked if I was driving around with me door open, and didn't give me a hard time, but I had a bunch of cops hanging out surrounding my car for quite awhile over an open door. I have no clue how there was a Karen close enough to even see me with how few people there were around. I like that I don't live in a state where police won't even show up for even serious stuff, but sheesh
I'm sorry you had to live in your car & hope you're doing better now. On Monday I'm starting a new job after 8 months trying to find one & struggling to keep a roof over my head. I have a friend who literally fell of the face of the earth because he lost everything a few years ago & I have tried so many times to reach out to him through FB & his email, because he's in the US & I'm in the UK, but have not heard back from him. So I sincerely hope that you are doing well now ❤️
Just because it's a wedding doesn't mean you get a free pass if you're a die hard prankster. My wife and I entirely expected it actually. But we also got married dressed as Revy and Chloe Von Einzbern. So the random farts during the ceremony, and the bill for every toilet seat in the building being either broken or missing, wasn't really a surprise to us.
Story 4: Karen honestly didn’t think it through because management wouldn’t be please that she thinks can get away with destruction of property. All because she want a new IPhone that she can’t be use for personal use.😅
It's a shame that, when she screamed "THE EXECUTIVE WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!", said Executive never materialised from around a corner and said "The Executive already knows and, because of that, you're fired!"
I would have special-ordered a series of progressively older phones for phone Karen. Every time she puts in a request, she gets the next older model until she gives up, or gets a specially-modified-to-function 80s gray brick.
I think the worst I pulled on my baby brother was putting on a pair of my dad's brand new driving/aviator sunglasses and spooking my brother in the bathroom while he was taking a piss. I still get a chuckle out of the memory, but I don't go telling everyone about the prank because even a year afterward, I realized how cruel that was. Hilarious at the time, yes. Cruel for a nine and a six year old, also yes.
The last story: He actually put fecal matter in his brother's cookies. He knew this even though his brother never actually ate any of it. His guilty conscious is what ruined the wedding and made him overreact.
Story 5 reminds me of my older sister. I do love her as a sister and all, but damn did that hit close to home. Typical sibling bully that will make your life miserably for a few years but oh, now that we're all adults suddenly they were "just harmless pranks" or "it wasn't that bad" "I didn't do that" "I didn't hit you that hard" "why are you so cold to me?", and whenever *You* do or did anything to them suddenly it's not allowed and you went too far. Selfish and entitled pricks. The brother had it coming, clearly his marriage wasn't going too well and if it wasn't for OP's little prank it would've been something else that did it.
Story #3 - I can only hope it's a troll post because OP's mother is a freakin hypocrite with the "you're 18 so you can pay your own way even though it's your birthday but we are going to pay for your 23 yr old brother." OP needs to do what he can to get away from them as fast as he can.
Story 3 DarkFluff you forgot to mention that OP'S horrible mother and stepfather had no problem paying for OP'S older brother who was 23. So clearly OP'S older brother is the golden child and obviously not expected to pay for anything and/or move out. OP you are not the idiot but you need to move out and cut all contact with your horrible family because they clearly don't love or care about you. And Happy Birthday.
Story 2: the OP clearly stated that there was a small crowd gathered watching, that they had tried to inform everyone within reason, and that they weren't doing it in any kind of secretive fashion. If Karen saw them lighting this thing, she would have seen them staying around it after it was lit, the crowd around it before and during, and presumably the attempts to extinguish it when it was clearly a failure. She wasn't "just being concerned," if she saw enough to believe it was an explosive, she saw enough to see it wasn't being placed maliciously, and making a social media post about it painting them like terrorists is overboard
They were doing something with chemicals that didn't belong in the park. These idiots COULD have put together something that exploded. I'd call the police, too.
@@666toysoldier I don't contend that if you're concerned about potentially dangerous behavior you should contact authorities. What I think is wrong is that she took it to social media, purposely misrepresenting the situation to virtue boost herself. And from the story, I don't think she did call police if she had the license plate info, because if the police had a description of the cars, they probably would've found them getting fast food that day. It more seems like she JUST posted online, so the police sent a bomb detachment to investigate for public safety, and when they saw evidence an incendiary had been lit, went on full statewide alert, only getting the info from the Karen later on. At least, that's my guess, who knows.
@@christophercuston if there was a crowd and she was alone, it was reasonable to assume that crowd could react in hostile matter to her and overpower her, if malicious. And she couldn't know that. I def give that one a pass.
It's still a PARK! Dogs and kids playing. People enjoying the fresh air. These dipshits didn't even know what they were doing. It was wrong. So they warned people? No one agreed to a smelly fog overcoming the park. Talk about entitled.
Oh man I had my own story 1 experience. Back when I was looking for a house to buy my realtor and I were spending very long weekends touring house after house together. One day it was pouring buckets and we were both already miserable trekking all over the neighborhood in that mess. When we went into this one house I could feel my stomach start to churn from I don't even know what. When we went into the basement I couldn't hold it back anymore. I let out a silent but horribly noxious odor that smelled like sewage. My realtor kept going with the info on the basement and when he smelled it he said with all the rain the sewage may be having issues so if I chose that place we would need to get it checked. I felt awful for doing that to him but never fessed up. I didn't end up picking that house so I never had to deal with the aftermath but I'm so glad there was no one else there but us.
My daughter used to work for an escape room company. She is lactose intolerant and is allergic to apples. She didn’t think about what she was drinking, a peanut butter shake. After it hit bottom she went and pretty much exploded in the bathroom. They shut the place down and had the fire department come because they thought it was a gas leak. 😂
Story 4: Karen, you can survive without the new iPhone. Heck, some people still use flip phones nowadays, last I heard. Karen sounded like she wanted the new iPhone just to brag and shove it in the faces of others that didn't get it.
That first story was so hilarious and relatable lol I had a similar incident when I was that age during a haunted ghost tour in St Augustine, Fl. Oh the horrors of being a little girl on her damn period...
Not so sure the rocket Karen was just a concerned citizen. The contraption had drawn a crowd of random onlookers and no one was being remotely subtle. The two boys who built it openly warned people to stand back for safety. It had been lit and smoked profusely, drawing even more attention from passersby. That doesn't exactly scream people planting a bomb. What the OP did was reckless and stupid, especially not double checking the instructions, but the carborne Karen definitely went overboard.
I lived just outside of the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky, and yes, there are no sulfur deposits anywhere down there. People wouldn’t be allowed down a tunnel with any level of sulfur in it.
Story 1: thats not tough love! If it would be, they would have sat OP down and told OP, that things will change at OPs 18th Birthday and what they expect of OP. But it seems that OP had no clue and OPs Brother is treated differently. So this could be the beginning of a lot of mean things the Parents will do, or they might get that they went a bit too far.
#1: "Poor teenager tourguide"? My sympathy went for the poor little girl who farted. #3: OP's mother is nasty, so it's time to move out and go NO CONTACT. #4: WELL PLAYED!
That 3rd story really upset me. My daughter is 15, and came home one day in tears about how she has only had a few years with us, and only has 3 more years to "figure it all out" before she is on her own. I was bewildered, and asked what on earth she was talking about, she told me how several of her friends from school have to move out and pay for everything when they turn 18. I told my daughter I was appalled by what those other parents were doing, and I actually loved her, that she isn't a burden I'm casting off the moment she turns 18, and she can take all the time she needs, that Mom and Dad adopted her because we loved her, and we will always be her Mom and Dad, and will help any way we can, and we will be so proud the day the day she spreads her wings and flies from the nest, but that she can fly when her wings are ready. Seriously people, having a child is a life long commitment.
I hope she is more confident now and never has such fears ever again. I am male but never had much self-confidence growing up either. My mother knew that full well however and she always made sure that I would never worry needlessly over such things as that; especially as I had four years of college to go through before I felt ready to live on my own. Well, sort of... I joined the military. But I was definitely ready to be on my own by then.
#1: I would have pranced by when the mother said she smelled sulphur with the biggest grin on my face. #3: When you're taken out on your birthday, you shouldn't expect to pay. Definitely not the a-hole.
Story 3: If they wanted OP to pay for their own meal, they should have told them in advance. They’ve never done it before so it is entirely reasonable for OP to assume they wouldn’t have to pay. They purposefully sprung it on op and then shamed them for being unprepared. They are terrible. Story 5: How exactly does the brother think op messed with the cake? Does he think the cake decorator would allow such a thing or somehow wouldn’t notice? I’m glad the bride was able to be reasonable and noticed the red flags with how her husband snapped about the cake. And once she gets over the heartbreak she’ll have a pretty good story about how she was saved from staying with the guy because of one poorly timed comment.
Story 2- I can see your point about Karen not being a Karen. BUT if she would have taken time to investigate just a little she might have found the truth. I speak from experience because my neighbor called the cops on me because she thought I was smoking weed on my porch. It was a cigarette!!!!
Uh, it was a piece of PVC pipe smoking so bad it looked like a forest fire, that was literally melting into the sidewalk. I'm sorry but no, you're just not very smart if your advice is "go up and poke it and see if its safe".
I can't see how Karen thought it was a pipe bomb. She could have asked OP or any of the spectators what was going on. I know there's some crazy people in the world, but who tf would set up a bomb and alert everyone in the area while gathering some people to watch? And then stick around for the "bomb" to go off?
@@Danarchy3 Like you're literally saying "taken the time to investigate" when OP literally described it as a smoking piece of pipe that was melting into the sidewalk. What more do you need to investigate? It was a hazard. The "truth" was OP was a dumbass who made something that could have exploded if handled wrong, the smart response was to call the authorities.
The 18th birthday story could have been worse. I had a coworker who was with his family on a summer road trip when he turned 18. He admitted he mouthed off to his dad and the dad pulled over and made his kid get out of the car (somewhere in eastern Montana, I believe) and left him. On the side of the highway.
Well the wedding cake guy, could have put the joke on the brother, by finger dipping into the ruined cake and eating it in front of all guests, followed by a “mmh nice” 😋😏
When I turned 18, I took my Dad and Stepmom out for dinner, but… (1) it was because I had just gotten paid from my new job and wanted treat them, after all of the nice things they’d always done for my birthday; and (2) I let them know ahead of time that I was paying; and (3) they still asked me several times if I’d let them pay, since it was my birthday, until they realised how important this was to me, at which point they just thanked me and enjoyed the meal.
Hi!! I have a story for you! I work for a garden nursery & love bringing a variety of plants home. Someone keeps ripping my periwinkle out of the pot on the top of my steps. I decided enough is enough time to take action. I have this cacti that gets my every time I go near it. I spend an hour picking spines out of my arm each time I brush past it so I decided to plant it in the middle of the pot and then strategically arranged the periwinkle around it. If you grab the little purple flowering plant, your in for a surprise. For several days nothing happens & I forget about it. Family & I are sitting down for a late dinner & hear an ear piercing scream. I forgot to tell my family what I did yet they still look at me accusingly. I open the door to my old neighbor standing there with spines sticking out of their hand. They had recently moved but had a relative in the complex that they still came to visit. They took this opportunity to rip my as well as another neighbors (I found out later) plants out. Hope they learned their lesson.
when I was a little girl, I had a friend who was my first male friend outside my large family circle of cousins and brother etc. I enjoyed he and his older sister and we would talk and play etc. one day I farted and was afraid because my other brothers would laugh at me. but he said nothing and later I learn that farting is a good sign that your system is working the way it should. also I learn as I grow up and got my period that I could fart from my vagina as well because it is just another opening in your body that will give you the pleasure of giving birth for a child.
Know if they standard I paid for a birthday dinner it's not unreasonable to expect what was always norm and the fact that they paid for the 23-year old brother even though he's well past 18 kind of makes you wonder what they were thinking
Those two doofuses making FUEL FILLED PROJECTILE EXPLOSIVES in a PUBLIC PARK *WITHOUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER* or anything!!! 😱 like not even a bucket of water sir?! Water gun?! No?!
The rocket story. Dare I say that the woman......... *gasp* ........... wasn't a Karen. In all honesty I probably would've made the same claim not knowing the situation.
11:28 you are not the only one that thinks this is absurd. For my 23rd birthday, I was taken to a Denny's to eat out, and my parents paid the bill. I was only a busboy working 9 hours weekly too, and my mom is a Karen, I'm her golden child.
The bday post makes me think of my own parents. As soon as i turned 18 i had to pay rent. Parents charged me 600/month and had to provide everything myself & their rent was only 535 at the time. When my sisters stayed with them, they never paid rent or utilities at all
