@@waltdoherty540 i think thats a bit extreme. if the defendant can prove that the prosecutor lied maliciously then yeah, but if the prosecutor loses due to a lack of evidence then nothing should happen and all records be deleted/destroyed to prevent the stigma of being a defendant
Just to let you know that using the “gender neutral” term “they” really made your comment confusing. You made it sound like the Karen didn’t answer their own phone call.
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi Pretty sure that's not the gender neutral "they" but the plural one. It says in the story, the entire family (so not just the Karen) didn't react to the calls.
If Pickle's leash had been caught in the escalator that poor dog would have died an absolutely GRUESOME death. I really hope that poor dog ends up with an owner who actually cares about them.
I already have issue with purse dog (small dog that some lady think it's just cute and fun to stock forever a dog in their purse). But at least, they are the size of a tenis ball and can't do arm as long as you don't put your finger under their nose (and at this point, you're asking for it). But, letting a dog loose in a store?!? Other than animal store : never never never! They are people that are scare to hell of dog. If you have a snack in a bag, it might snack it! You can lose it. Oh, it can be steal too. You know, the thing that was the most stole at the start of the pandemie?!? And, in case of this dog, of what I understand a small dog, it could litterally get crush by accident: a worker pusing a cart, a customer doing a side step and completly oblivious to the dog. I don't think she know how much the vet will charge for an urgent appointment and a frature bone!
When I was with my ex we would be what any reasonable person would call loud people. We were without a doubt loud beyond obnoxious. The walls in the house we owned had super thing uninsulated walls that we didn’t have to open windows or doors to yell for each other. We would get into loud arguments and ever single time The cops came they wanted and sometime succeeded in putting me in handcuffs. They didn’t talk to either of us. One time my ex was angry and took it out on me, she was hitting me and scratched me. Guess who was put in handcuffs, me. It didn’t matter who showed up all I would her is “sir put you hands on your head and turn around.” Or “Sir I need you to step outside”. This would throw my ex into a rage and would scream at the cops for arresting me when I didn’t do anything. She did get detained on the day she was hitting me and I got her released when the police deemed she was calm enough to leave. We received several fines and summons for our antics. So as far as I am concerned cops can go @@@@ themselves. They arrest people all the time with no cause just because they are on a power trip.
Maybe Pickles should disappear from the store and let the lady try to explain why. Pickles needs a home where she is loved and taken care of in her senior years
A Karen at a hospice center? I can't think of a worse combination. That is so sad. The people there already have enough on their minds without having to deal with a Karen.
The fact that the woman in the second to last story didn't know that their relative had died for 8 months because the family didn't return their calls really says a lot about the family. I'd bet they were trying to get money from the relative.
Remember, the dead relative could have been an A-hole. Many lonely elders kind of earned their solitude, is sad, but I won't judge strangers for not having good relations with their relatives.
Garbage man story, if Karen hadn't blocked traffic, there might not have been any witnesses to her lies. She caused her own actions to be caught by multiple people and on video. Karma's a witch and for her and op, immediate.
@@rosehearttoxic1691 If you paid attention to the story, would have heard part where Karen and another guy was bumper to bumper and then she leaves her car. Blocking the other lane of traffic with line of cars behind both her and the other driver facing her.
If it’s hospice it is completely unreasonable to expect your loved one to be there a year later. They are dying and usually are only allowed to be in hospice if they have less than 6 months to live.
Story 4: I like how the Nurse immediatley blamed the Vigil Volunteer at the bedside for causing trouble and not the screaming Karen in the doorway. Thanks for the support, Nurse.
@@SoManyRandomRamblings Exactly. There is bacteria in your mouth that is fine if it stays in your mouth, but if it gets into your bloodstream, or worse travels to your brain, you may die.
We had hospice care come out for my granddad's last 2 months. Because she had been a hospice worker until retirement, my mom went into nurse mode for him during that time. She had every relative and friend of his that she could contact come and visit on what turned out to be his last day. It turned into a large barbecue and impromptu family reunion. Grandpa had a fun day that day, and was even laughing when he went to sleep that night. 3 hours later, he woke up and told mom that he had a great day, told her something I had said was really funny and still had him laughing, then closed his eyes and went to sleep. He took his last breath about an hour later.
First story: I once saw a video of a dog almost meeting its end by that way. The owner didn't play attention that the dog stopped outside of the elevator and the doors closed. Luckily a nice person was there and rushed to save the dog from the raising elevator by quickly taking out the leash.
I remember seeing this vid, a small teacup teddy bear shaped fluff saved in the last second. I'm always cautious with older model elevators, newer ones have photoelectric barriers so stuff like this doesn't happen but there's no mandatory retrofitting.
That 4th story from the Vigil Volunteer really tugged at my heart. I had to place my Mom in a memory care facility for the last 3 months of her life as our home wasn't built to accommodate a wheelchair. I came to see her & spend time with her every day during those 3 months. I am so glad I was there to hold her hand as she drew her last breath. I would never forgive myself if I had not been there for her.
4th story... This hits hard for me as my mother went into home hospice care back in August 2020... she passed at the end of September. I live a ways away and have the schedule wonkiness of a line cook and I still found a way to visit once a week. Karan can burn in hell and her own misery for not visiting her own family. Edit- I think they need to make home hospice the norm as it is better for everyone involved. Edit 2- thank you DarkFluff for having a light hearted story at the end. I mean it.
Maybe the elderly person was a bad person and the relative was actively trying to avoid them... I don't think is fair to judge people on not visiting relatives when you don't know their full life story...
@@Puerco-Potter ??? Hospice is where dying people stay. Ignoring a dying relative for a year? If you avoid someone who is dying for that length of time... Even bad people have relatives keep tabs on them and want to know when they are finally dead.
Agreed. They deal with enough just hauling our hazardous trash (literally). They make good money, their job is necessary, and those entitled shit-wipes oughta try spending a month without 'em- along with every other service-style job they talk down about every waking moment.
really with no evidence they go off some random woman's story and were about to arrest a guy what bullshit thank god, everyone stood up for him the cops would have been sued easily
*First Story:* People like that don't deserve to have _children,_ much less pets. *Fourth Story:* Wow! WTF did she think going there after a year would accomplish? And was she crying because she realized she was a rotten family member? Or because she screwed herself out of any chance at inheritance? Cynical, I know, but that's why I enjoy these stories.
@@kazekamiha hospice does not allow patients to check in if their life expectancy is more than 6 months. It is end of life care only. (Some do surprise doctors and hang on for longer than 6 months) but if medical personnel, at any point, deem them likely to live more than 6 months they are checked out of hospice. It is a less than 6 month stay by definition.
I had an Aunt, and later, her husband, my Uncle, at a nursing home near my house. I made sure to visit nearly every evening, telling jokes, accompanying them to dinner in the dining room, and, for my Aunt, doing exercises, washing her face, combing her hair, brushing her teeth, and singing songs with her. Many times, my Mom would go with me, and sometimes my brother. It's so tough to see your once-smart, clever family members in a memory-care unit. We would be visiting in my Aunt's room, and hear a neighboring elderly lady crying out, "Mother, help me! Mother, help me!" That's what breaks your heart. We were so glad to be there for them; they so, so, so appreciated it. At least when they both were there, they were together on one room. That was the hardest, and the best thing I ever did.
I'm so happy that Vietnam vet had the spunk and the energy to tell that lady off he still got fire in him. And Opie was his sidekick! That lady was so horrible not to see her relative for an entire year.
In her last few years my mother was in a locked ward in an assisted living facility due to her dementia. Directly across the hall was a man a few years younger, in good physical condition, also dementia. Didn't know who or where he was, but he had one talent in high demand... that old man could dance! On Friday nights there in the rest of the facility they would play dance music and the old folks would dance. The single women would come get him, bring him to the party and there would literally be a line to dance with him. Everything from ballroom style to two-step, Carolina shag, etc. The ladies would even get into arguments over whose turn it was next with the old guy. Old guy, I salute you!
Hospice story - I do not feel sorry for the entitled woman in the story. They wouldn't answer or return calls. I feel sorry for the family member that died 8 months ago with no family.
For the Karen that was a substitute teacher, I am also glad she's not teaching in that school district either. She was going to teach kids that might grow up to be a Karen like her. We have enough Karens and Mini-Karens as it is
Why would anyone think a patient would still be in hospice after a year. It's a place to die peacefully. If someone does recover they are sent home. My dad was in hospice 1 day before he died. My mom was in one about 4 days and I along with other family members visited her everyday. My brother and I even stayed over one night.
True. Hospice is literally for end of life care....it's not a hospital, it doesn't work to get you better, it only tries to make your suffering a little less terrible as they slough-off this mortal coil.
If I remember correctly....you can't even GET into hospice if your life expectancy is more than 6 months. So by definition them not calling for 8 proves they didn't care
You don't have to be in a hospice to be ignored. I live alone and I am a disabled vet. I do have health issues that are slowly ending my life. The only visits I have gotten over the past few years is from an American legion post leader who checks on me and takes me to get food. In today's mentality family doesn't mater. People only care about what they can take when your no longer alive.
I had to work away from both home and where my mother was in aged care (her choice to go into care due to how her own mother behaved when she had to be almost forcibly put into care), but I was home each weekend to take her home with me for those two days and took her out for a Sunday drive in the afternoon. That's something I'll never regret.
The name “Pickles” for a small dog slays me. Putting that name in my back pocket if I ever get a small dog. Picture it: Dusk, typical suburban neighborhood. The back door of a well kept bi-level opens, light spilling onto the patio and lawn. A voice bellows: “PICKLES! GODDAMNIT, PICKLES! GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW! ARE YOU IN MY ROSE BUSHES AGAIN?! GET IN HERE! PICKLES! PICKLES!”
Story 4: I used to not only work at a nursing home but I also used to volunteer there with my dog during the week. We had a list of residents that could have dogs in their rooms and so many of them would always light up whenever they saw Burris. I have so many pictures and videos on my phone of the residents and Burris. We went so often that after I signed in I’d let Burris off his leash and he’d go right to his favorite residents room. And everyone always asked me when I worked when I’d bring him in again or how he was doing and so on. I unfortunately had to stop volunteering there do to COVID and for the longest time whenever me and Burris would drive by it he’s getting so excited thinking we were going in and when we didn’t he would whine. I miss all my patients and my coworkers (sadly the reason I don’t work there anymore is because CNA helpers were laid off)
Pickles the Dog Story: I don't understand something, OP mentioned they were in a LARGE clothing store when Pickles found them... Unless Pickles is a Service Dog (not frigging likely since they're trained to stay with their person), where was the clothing store staff? They should have: 1) Gone absolutely Ballistic when Karen brought Pickles into the store... 2) Gone completely Nuclear when Karen dropped Pickles leash and let him wander unaccompanied... 3) Told Karen to take her and Pickles off the Property and NEVER return or she will be Arrested for Trespassing cause she's now PERMANENTLY Banned and if they find any damage caused by Pickles (wet spots on cloths/carpets, turds ground into carpets (because who expects to step on dog doo in a clothing store?) she WILL be paying the cleaning bill or she WILL be Sued for the cost plus Damages/Legal Fees etc. 😄😁😆😅😂🤣 Personally, If I were OP, I'd have picked up Pickles and taken him to Customer Service to ask them to call Animal Control to report Karen for Negligence and Animal Abandonment, as DarkFluff mentioned, there are lots of exposed moving parts at escalators/elevators for the leash to get caught on and seriously hurt/kill Pickles...
Actually some service dogs are trained to go find someone should something happen to their handler (like a seizure). I know this because I had a service dog alert me that their handler was in distress. The handler was okay
Story 4 - My mother recently passed. On the second day that she was in hospice, as I was leaving for the night, I passed a family who were waiting to pass the Covid protocols in order to be let in to see their family member. One woman was stating, rather loudly, that they should just ignore the staff and go right in without masks or testing because "this Covid thing is just made up." She was willing to put my mother and the other patients at risk of ending their last days in even more pain, for her own convenience. It was all that I could do to keep myself from punching her. Pretty sure that she saw the absolute fury on my face, too.
My mother is over 60. As soon as the first wave hit here where I live and we were allowed out again, I cancelled everything I could. Because even if I wouldn't get sick, there's no way I'd bring this thing home to her. I waited till we were all vaccinated before I went anywhere other than the grocery store. How people can be like this with their own family is beyond me. I would have screamed at her. Loud.
There is no reason to not visit family living in a Hospice. My wife and sister were and are social workers and worked in Hospice and family like this are common so they did their best to visit these folks more to make up for crappy family members. My sister ended up with cancer herself but because she had loving family she passed away at home and I miss her every day.
Yes, there is reason to not visit a family member in hospice ... you have no idea of the family history and are making assumptions. A creature that tortured &/or raped their children deserves no regard.
Let's see...abuse is a good reason to not visit.....I think a lot of therapists have tons of examples of people who won't be visited in hospice because of what they have done to physically, psychologically, mentally, or emotionally damage people.
Umm no, there most definitely is, and my clinically narcissistic, abusive, toxic mother is going to rot alone until she stops wasting oxygen. If someone's relatives refuse to see them on their deathbed, don't you think they have a reason to stay away? If that is how the old bat's relative acted can you imagine how utterly toxic she could've been? People don't become abusive like that overnight, and upbringing plays a big role in how you treat others. I have family who've worked in hospice, and seeing how some of those people treated her made me glad they weren't going to be around much longer, I wouldn't want to visit them either. Respect those around you or be OK with dying alone due to no fault but your own. Karma comes back around.
Concerning story #2, the stroke victim could've bloody *died* because of the entitled waste-of-a--good-evening-of adult-entertainment (aka entitled canine!) Thank G!d/dess witnesses let police know who caused the altercation!
Garbage truck: y'all see the big problem? How he is almost arrested because of her lies? Unfortunately this happens daily, fortunately sombody recorded it and stuck around, otherwise that guy would've been arrested and changed with assault and probably prosacuted all because of a lying selfish woman, this is why I say to stay single, record everything n protect yourself from her lies! She doesn't care!
My wife is an RN who has worked in palliative and still has interactions with hospices. It's usual that patients who go to hospice have only days or weeks to live, months at most. To expect a person in hospice to be there a year later is delusional.
Once had a family member in an old peoples home when I was in Highschool...he used to tell the nurses about me all the time and the nurses *insisted* I didn't exist....I went to visit one day and when I told the nurse who I was...their face was pretty priceless.
Damn, that nursing home/hospice one. I've seen people in the nursing home my grandmother was in, ones whose family never visits, gets gifts from, phone calls, nothing. Makes me glad of the times like when we found a whole box of 80+ fancy scarves (the type for looks, not warmth) at a yard sale and went to buy them for all the residents. The seller was actually surprised what we wanted them for and just gave them to us. All the ladies loved them, thanks to that kind seller
I work in aged care and so many times I hear of family forcing their parent to sign over their house to them and as soon as it’s done they get thrown into a home with all their belongings sold on them with only 2 tops 2 pants almost no undies and shoes with holes. To often family ignore phone calls so nurses and carers end up using their own pay to buy stuff residents need. Some times other families don’t collect some belongings when their family member dies so we try using the clothes left behind on residents that have nothing. All as family out there demanding we keep their family alive even when cancer has them basically in a coma as that means more weeks the family can steal their parents pension. It’s so wrong how horrible people are to the elderly. I do know some are at fault for why they don’t have loved ones visiting but most times it’s not the case at all.
An entire streetful of witnesses in both directions! She was, of course, so angry she literally didn't know OR CARE what was really going on so witnesses didn't even blip her radar. So, yeah.
#4 - I have no sympathy for that entitle witch! None whatsoever. You knew your relative was put into hospice. Anyone with more than cabbage for brains understands this means the end is neigh and it may even be a matter of days or a few weeks before they pass. And you don't answer many calls from the facility they were left in? I only feel sorry for OP, the VV and other patients disturbed but mostly sorry for the witch's family member who was left all alone, was cremated and did not even have a memorial service. That is what is sad here.
Exactly. And most hospice won't even let anyone in if the life expectancy is more than 6 months...it is legit end of life only care.....so by definition them letting more than 6 months go by proves they didn't care.
Man I love listening to Dark fluff of how crazy and title people get what they deserve whenever it's just a little mistake or a lifetime ruin guarantee
Story 3: OP isn't the one that "ruined her career" that would be the Karen. She should never be in a classroom again...unless it is her own anger management class.
I figured the family member was dead when the woman said “a year.” I shadowed at an alternative hospice place and the regulations there were every six months the patient was assessed and if they had less than six months they could stay. I’m pretty hospice itself is for people who have less than a year to live.
Story 4: I think the reason why Karen and her family most likely didn’t know about their “loved” one dying is because the family member had written them out of their will and left them nothing after being abandoned and not being visited for so long. I know I would have
I hate that police automatically take the female's side of things with no evidence. At all. No marks, cuts, bruises, video, audio, etc. And women wonder why men no longer want anything to do with them.
@@SoManyRandomRamblings We kinda had that. In the form of mental institutions. After most of them got shut down, the crazies were released into the public. Despite the image asylums had, they did far more good than harm.
@@smithsmith1956 They used to lock women up in them for reading too much (among a huge list of other very normal things, like having opinions), and they used to do incredibly inhumane experiments on people. As well as making shitty nursing homes look like luxury resorts in comparison to the way patients in asylums used to be """cared""" for. They also used to throw even genuinely functional people with ADHD and Autism in there, too. It's a very, very good thing asylums do not exist the way they used to even just a few decades ago.
Story 5 - Totally relatable. I work at a grocery store that has me wearing a black polo shirt and black (or tan) kakis. Guess what the uniforms of most restaurants in my area tend to be? Never get mistaken for one there though. Then there was the time I was at a hardware store - still wearing my work outfit, which looks nothing like the work uniform of the place - and someone went, "Excuse me, do you work here?" Luckily, they were nice enough to realize their mistake when I told them that I didn't.
Yes, there is reason to not visit a family member in hospice ... you have no idea of the family history and are making assumptions. A creature that tortured &/or raped their children deserves no regard.
@@tarbhnathrac agreed, so many people were absolutely awful to their kids, and don't deserve to feel like they are forgiven with the damage they left behind.
Imagine going somewhere where the patients are near-death and still thinking you're the center of the universe and everyone needs to drop everything for you.
My wife is trans, and is easily clocked being 6’3 with a deep voice. Occasionally people will harass her, and she usually responds loudly with “No, I will not go out with you! Stop asking!”. They usually leave her alone after that. If they don’t, she was in the military for 22 years. She can defend herself. Luckily, we live in a very liberal city. If she doesn’t stop the a-hole someone else will.
Pickles being left to wander the store made my stomach ice over. Doesn't that woman know....or care...that the leash could easily get caught in the escalator and harm or even kill her dog? I was working at a large department store when a child's shoelace got caught and luckily his mother got his foot out of the shoe before both were lost. His screams were heard throughout the store. What is wrong with people?!
If that first story had happened in the state I live in, the Karen in question would most likely lose the animal. Abandoning an animal for any length of time in Washington state is considered a big 'no-no'. The fact that she did it in a store? Even worse...
I worked as a nurse in an old people's home for a while. You'd be shocked at the number of old people dying alone, with no news from family at all for years. Fortunately, the staff was there for them, but that's not the same...
I've had 3 hospice encounters, those ppl are great, nice, helpful and Thier knowledge is impressive, i believe they are volunteering Thier time? All three were at home and gotta say, they sure make life easier, thanks hospice!
The lady freaking out in the hospice facility made my blood boil. My grandfather on my mom's side had terminal lung cancer and, while my mom and I kept him with us at home in his final days, hospice would visit every weekday to check on him. Keep in mind, this was about 22 years ago. If ANYONE had done that to my dying grandfather, I would probably still be in prison with only PARTIAL sentence served for the best down I would have administered to her - keep in mind, I am the most laid back, easy going person on the planet and have the longest fuse in the history of mankind. But my maternal grandfather both was, and still is, EVERYTHING to me. I would not have tolerated it. I wouldn't have been able to say final goodbyes, but I would be ok knowing I stood up for him and didn't allow ANY disrespect regarding the situation towards my grandfather.
the comment "no I wont go to your car.." I've read one or listened to one here or over on /rslash that was " NO SIR! I do not want to buy your child for 10$!" LOL
I think people who lie to get people arrested, and there is irrefutable proof of that lie, should have at least a mandatory year in jail (more for serious charges) and have to do an insane amount of community service.
Exactly. It's word against word and without any proof It's innocent until proven guilty. OP should propably complain about the cops for discrimination.
@@noob_4122 Officers are supposed to conduct a thorough investigation before arresting anyone. They can detain if someone is unruly, but by no means are they supposed to arrest someone unless they're at least 'pretty sure' that person is guilty of a crime. So it might not be discrimination (depending on how one defines the word), but it certainly is failure to follow procedure. At the very least, the officers should be retrained. The OP is lucky so many people were ready to come to his defense- let alone one with video evidence.
As a dog person I'm kind of shocked that someone would leave a dog loose in a department store. Mind you I'm somewhat shocked that there are large stores where people are allowed to bring their dogs in, leashed or loose. Not complaining, just surprised. Not to say I'm not appalled at how the Karen had reacted when OP brought Pickles to her. I once had my beagle get away from me by snapping his leash (cheap small dog leash) Larry and I were besides ourselves with worry as we searched for him. I was happy and relieved when a friend came over and returned my little beaglish boy within an hour of having lost him. If I had done something so boneheaded and lost my dog in a large store, I would probably forget about the damn shopping and be grateful to have my dog returned to me. Karens!
Story 2: Anger management and jail time? I respectfully disagree, Fluff... COB needs a muzzle, a straitjacket, and a padded room for a 72-hour psych watch.
I couldn't work in hospice, or with one of those "transport terminally ill children" ambulance services. I deal with Death on a regular basis, but that's a little too often for my taste. Huge respect for those who can stomach having Death so close so often.
My mother was in a hospice ward for about three weeks, back in 2010. The volunteer group there was called the "Vising Angels," and they were perfectly named. They took wonderful care of my mother and all of us, providing comfort in every imaginable way for dying patients and grieving families. It hadn't occurred to me until this story that they probably encountered the occasional entitled jerk who gave them a hard time. The thought makes me feel slightly ill, because they truly *were* our Angels during a very hard time in our lives :(
Story #4 - I am a Nurse and worked at the Hospice in my area for 6+ years and in that time they built a Hospice Center. Hospice and Hospice Centers are not just for the elderly. They are for anyone who is terminally ill, any age.
