For the last story, it sounds like the ex kept the dogs purely to have something over him. OP could have a friend she doesn't know about offer her a couple hundred for them and probably get his puppies back.
The correct response regarding the dogs would have been to sy that she's right, he would not be able to take care of them and they would cause problems with finding a good place to live. She'd probably insist that he takes them right away.
Story 4: I feel bad for the dogs. OP says they were his. Dogs choose who they "belong to." If they were truly OP's dogs, I hope they got even with his ex.
My sister's nephew made the mistake of marrying a gold-digger. By the age of 30 and before meeting her he had already paid off his mortgage, and she had her eyes on the house. After only a few years she left him and as part of the divorce settlement she demanded the house. But unfortunately for her she made the mistake of bragging to mutual friends that she had only married him for what she could get in the divorce. The mutual friends turned out to be more his friends than hers, and those words cost her dearly. Although she did get some money from him, she didn't get the house or maintenance (alimony) and once the dust had settled he was happy to chalk it up to experience. His second wife was entirely different, and they are still happily married nearly thirty years later.
Happy your sister's nephew kept the house and didn't have to pay alimony. Bet she was pissed that she didn't get what she wanted and her friends supported op instead of her nasty vile entitled butt.
I do not understand the concept of alimony. Child support, yes. Paying for a grown ass woman for no better reason than they used to be married? Doesn't it infantilise women?
@@cattan4696 women pay alimony too. but the concept originated back in a time when women could not find jobs easily as their options were so limited and more women were housewives. it shouldn't be so had to think this? or are you the kind of person that thinks feminism is stupid or smth. anyways it makes sense nowadays too. sometimes people get more comfortable financial options being married to someone. and alimony şs for them to get back on their feet or continue that life. regardless of gender.
3rd story: This story is a prime example of how someone should watch their phrasing when ordering something and not do anything to agrivate the people handling their food!
Wipers story: I'm guessing the new neighbors either haven't lived in a cold climate before or had a garage they always used. Some must learn the hard way. Stories 2 & 3: Good reminders of why you should be polite to the people that handle your food. Divorce story: Ain't ignorance of the law great?
Story 1 New neighbors are dicks. The other neighbors came out to explain the situation and they didn't care, then wanted help when they realized they messed up. Putting wipers up for neighbors isn't that out of the ordinary
Story 1. Here's a thought. The new neighbor could get in her truck and start it so it warms up to the point where the defroster can start melting the ice on the windshield, thus freeing the wipers.
But that would require forethought(just like lifting the wipers) and getting ready earlier than absolutely necessary. Better to just assume common winter events like snow are never going to happen during the winter.
Story 4: Man, I feel bad for the lawyers and mediators that have to deal with this s**t. One person wants absolutely everything and will not take anything less, and the other does not want that. I bet you a lot of therapy is needed for these sorts of situations.
I don't know they were the ones who chose to specialise in that branch of law if they didn't want to deal with crazy probably not the best one to go for.
Relieved the ex husband didn't have children with that entitled, selfish woman. She have used the kids to squeeze everything she could out of him and I'll bet not one penny of child support would actually go to her children. I'd be surprised if the poor dogs don't end up being removed from her care down the road. Spending money on anyone or anything besides herself is probably beyond her scope of understanding. Hopefully he is able to get the dogs back due to her carelessness and neglect. she most likely doesn't even care about the dogs. Just sent after them to be add spiteful and hurt her ex probably a disgusting excuse for a human being. I've been through a divorce and we both handled it like mature, responsible adults. Yes there was a child involved. Happy ending though. The 2 years after the divorce we both matured even more and worked things out. Been together going on 13 years now. Stronger than ever as a couple. Thanks for the video. Hope you and Steve-o are well. Take care.
Pets are property under the law (unfortunately). There is a new proposed law in B.C. Canada to change that making pets more like dependants and family. This would allow courts to weigh the best interest of the pets in their decisions. Hope this passes and spreads to other jurisdictions.🤞
That happens more than people will acknowledge. And it's women that do it the most. (I know several divorce lawyers and they all have had cases where that happened).
With the quesadilla story the guy later added that the manager refunded the quesadillas, put it as wraps with lettuce and tomato and gave the OP the difference as the tip.
I do not like what the manager did as the waiter just gave what the lady asked for - and confirmed this is what she wanted. It’s a lettuce and tomato sandwich using a tortilla!!! The manager was in the wrong!!!!!
@@sandybruce9092, she wanted a quesadilla and when he explained INSISTED she wanted quesadilla- so she got billed for a quesadilla. If he was mean, he'd add lettuce and tomato as extras.
@@sandybruce9092 The lady didn't get her money back. The manager refunded the order in the system so that OP could have the difference that the lady paid between the two items as a tip.
@Yvon Q., So? It's not like the customer was forced to give the tip. She paid for what she ordered and was so adamant about it.. The manager decided to do the operation. And yes, dealing with that Karen deserves extra money.
Story 3: The mess created by the "everything" pizza is exactly why the best pizza places I know limit the number of toppings the customer can order. Because otherwise it does come out of the oven extremely unappetizing and the dough for the crust will be raw as well.
Yea... I'm also a little bit confused by OPs "Cheese should cover all toppings like a traditional pizza". But than it occurred to me that he ist talking about American pizza and not Italian where the toppings go on top of the cheese and are even more subtle and spaced out...
@@annasstorybox7906 I mean, I am American and every pizza I have ever eaten has the TOPings, on TOP... Then again I live in eastern Pennsylvania.... so maybe it's different out west... or they are talking about deep dish pizza...
I worked at a pizza place decades ago when adding a topping to a large was only $1 and the pizza place only had a dozen or so toppings. So a maliciously complied "everything but anchovies" wasn't so bad. It had to go through the oven twice, but it did mostly cook through and only slightly burnt at the edges. Customer loved it. Ordered it 6 more times before the manager banned it from being allowed.
He also could have just gone up to their door and let them know the drill instead of touching stuff on their car without asking. I'd be pretty annoyed and suspicious of someone skulking around my car, too. Especially if I was new to the area and didn't have a good grasp of what is what yet.
@TheTwoBeauties Of course they were, because "I was trying to help" isn't an excuse for messing around with someone's car without asking. OP was the entitled one in that story because he felt he could go up and mess with someone else's car without asking.
exactly! why didn't OP just knock on the door, explain the drill and ask if the new neighbours would appriciate the gesture now-and-then? Or, take the second opportunity when she asked his help while strugling with the frozen wipers... just take the time to say sorry for his first stupid actions, explain the drill and build a nice relationship with the new neighbours...
@jvaneyl5826 the other neighbors came out and tried to explain the drill during the first incident. Entitled AF to tell someone to f off then ask them for help. She should've said "hey I'm sorry about the other day, can you give me a hand?"
Story 1, I'd probably walk over and help while going on a long winded Midwestern/Canadian rambling like, "Wow, those are really stuck on there. You know, you should put your wipers up at night, eh? Keeps em from freezing to your windshield! It's a real shame you guys forgot. Gosh, I spotted it last night but you said not to. You're real protective of your vehicle. It's a nice ride, eh? What's the millage on this puppy? Oh man last week Barb really saved my bacon. I was busy taking all the groceries in before that big storm and plumb forgot to put mine up. Bless her she came right out when she noticed after bringing the bins in. Real neighborly bunch we got here. I made her a hot dish as thank you. I would have been late to....... Blah Blah Blah😂😂 I grew up with Minnesota nice. You blow them over with kindness, while telling them they were a jerk. After all, you still have to live next to these people.
I mean, I get the passive aggressiveness, but he really shouldn't have touched their car without asking. If he had just knocked on the door first, the whole situation could have been avoided.
Story # 2.-When I worked at Tim Hortons a regular customer would order two small coffees. I suggested that one extra large, black, with an extra cup and condiments on the side is $.90 cheaper, and she agreed to it! Always say the reduced price first because people want a bargain.
Story 4 is why I never plan on getting married. Spousal support and some family courts are a joke and Ops ex was completely toxic. How the heck did she even manage to get the dogs?! Someone ain’t doing their job right.
@@gilded_lady unfortunately they don’t always work. If a judge reviews the terms of a prenuptial agreement and deems them to be unconscionable, this will void the legal contract. Even then prenups can be challenged
@@condorboss3339 Alimony and Child Support are two different things. Alimony is paid to the spouse that has a lower income as a means of support until they can get a job or arrange their living expenses to survive on their own. Women can end up paying alimony to their husbands, although we don't usually hear about it. Unfortunately, the Alimony situation does often get abused as courts look at men and think that they can handle a life of being unable to afford the bare necessities in life.
Rudy is lucky he's probably from a place where sweet pizzas aren't a thing, otherwise that monstrosity OP made would be on a whole new level: think chocolate syrup, fruits, ice-cream, condensed milk, and so on...
I don't want to think about that! That amount of sugar would put me into a coma, and I'm NOT diabetic! The fruit sounds good, though: as a side, without added sugar or toppings...
@grey ! Dessert Pizza is most certainly real. Like the banna cream pizza, apple pie pizza, chocolate swirl pizza or Cinnamon swirl pizza to name a few. To be fair they aren't truly "pizzas", more a type of tart that looks like a pizza and is cooked in a pizza oven on pizza dough. Just all the toppings, sauce and any additives are sweet. Take the Apple Pie Pizza. Likely Cinnamon sugar on the crust, with apple (glaze ?) as the sause, fried apples as the main topping with sweet icing and/or Caramel drizzled on top in thin lines and then sometimes sprinkled with Cinnamon sugar.
Story 4: Deadbeat wife want everything including a doormat husband to give everything for her ends but in the end the wife just makes things worst during court as the judge would not give her everything and honestly I would love to see the ex-wife try and live without her ex-husband paycheck.
Story 1; I live in Southern Ontario, likely in the same city. That snowstorm was no joke, even for Northern Canadians (not me any more). The news was warning us constantly even. Wipers were up everywhere, there was no surprises, just a lot of PREP for it. Like any big storm (hurricane, flood, tornado, heatwave, etc). It's sad that I could almost hear the southern state karen before the story started.
But OP was the rude one first. Who goes up to a strangers car and starts fiddling around with it without talking to the owner first? Yes, what he was doing was actually helping, but how are they supposed to know that? All they saw was some stranger messing around with their vehicle, and they reacted in a manner that is pretty reasonable. Next time, OP should first go up to the neighbors house, knock on the door, and talk to them. Maybe explain the situation and ask if it's ok if he puts their wipers up for them.
Story 1: OP did the exact correct thing. No sense in getting yelled at for doing a good thing...then being asked to help when they are suffering the consequences of their actions.
Unfortunately the dogs in last story are going to suffer. She didn't want them to love, she wanted them to spite OP. They will be neglected and or dumped off on someone else.
That pizza was a direct result of a customer not listening to what they are being told. Then insisting on making unreasonable demands, while not listening to anyone outside of the customers own voice.
Story 2: You ask, and they give you specifically what you ask. Customer is always right? Welp, time to eat those words Story 3: And hey, if you wanted a specific item, you don't give an alternate description, you tell them exactly what you want. You want a pizza with everything, there you go. You want a Supreme Pizza, you say you want a Supreme Pizza
Fluff, your story about your co-workers divorce was crazy!! I can't believe she came with cops to split the food in the fridge. My aunt, who lives in Florida, has a sister who also lives in Florida, who was getting a divorce almost 20 years ago from her husband of almost 20 years at the time. Her sister is a realtor and worked out of a model home in a in progress development, and she was very good at her job. Her husband was a salesman of restaurant supplies. Guess who made the most money over their marriage? She did. He had the better lawyer though as mommy and daddy had money and paid for his lawyer. Any time she went to their house (she had moved out) to get anything, even if it was hers - ie, clothes and makeup and their daughter and son's belongings, he was dragging her into court like a child to tattle. She had bought a lawn mower and she mowed the lawn but he dragged her into court and said she took "his" lawn mower. When it was all said and done, he wound up with half of her 401(k), 3 years of alimony, the house and contents (including the lawn mower because even though she may have bought it and could prove it, she bought it while they were married so it was marital property so it was considered part of the contents of the house) except what she could prove was hers and their kids. Men can do the same thing as women.
I once worked with a guy whose wife decided he wasn't being a good husband because... well, it seems he had friends and wanted to spend some time with them. He lost the house, had to sell his share of a private plane shared with a group of friends (nothing big, just a 2-seat single prop job), gave up a chunk of what had been his in the house, had to live in a hotel for a couple of months, etc. etc. etc. She, on the other hand, had a friend who worked for a local paper and had her sob story about the husband who suddenly didn't love her any more and abandoned her printed for all the world to see. Funny how much she was entitled to according to that story... which left out almost all the facts of the reality. I'm glad OP was able to turn the tables on one of the "woe is me" harpies. (Before y'all come for me, I *know* there are a lot of guys out there who deserve to be eviscerated or worse -- but that's not a trait limited to individuals with a Y chromosome.)
Wipers frozen to the windshield? I never tried to chip them loose. I simply start my car, se the heat to high, set the direction to the defrost mode, then , set the fan full blast, then proceed to clean off the snow and crap on the outside .... by the time I make my way back around to the front of the car, I can easily clean off the windshield, then the hood over the engine, then get in and head out. Takes maybe 5 to 1- minutes.
What kind of futuristic looking ass car do you have??? (Coming from someone who doesnt drive let alone owned a car lol) Seriously, though, are newer modeled cars nowadays have these upgrades or am i just now finding out that maybe all cars have these functions??
@marshall lee You can set the fan to blow on your windshield in all cars, that's how you defog your windshield. My vent fan doesn't work, and I have to use paper towels to clear the fog, and then it fogs up again. It's definitely a necessary safety feature.
@@Primalxbeast ohhhhhh, okay! I think ive seen that feature on all cars, but since im not so well knowledge in them or any kind of mechanics, everything seems advanced to me.
@@marshalllee6853 I have a 1999 Honda CRV. The vents on the dashboard at the bottom of the windshield are there to defrost and defog. The warmed/hot air blowing on the inside is quite effective in warming the glass enough to melt and/or loosen ice and snow on the outside. Nothing space age or futuristic about it. Hell, had the same thing on my 1985 Nissan coupe and my 1975 Ford Pinto, as did all of my parents' cars (and my dad's work truck) in the 1950's and 1960's. When did you land Earth that this should be such a foreign concept?
For story 1, honestly I'd probably be pissed at some stranger I've never spoken to touching my stuff without permission. Even if the other neighbors were cool with it, you at least need to talk to them first.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. At least go around and let your new neighbors know what's up and ask if it's okay. If not, nod, tell them to have a good one, and move on, skipping the ones that say no.
Im imagining the Texmex Karen calling them a "Kwesa-dill-uh". In my experience, the customer is right maybe 15% of the time. An argument can be made for 17%
5:41 The full saying is “the customer is always right _about taste.”_ If she wanted a quesadilla, she got a quesadilla. An example of taste: I have a custom order at a Mexican restaurant. They serve habanero sauce, and I love spicy. However, that sauce is nothing but spicy. So I order habanero on the inside, and medium smothered on top. You can’t make that order online. But it’s 100% acceptable in line or the drive-through, no extra cost.
A thought on Story Three; if you like HUGE pizza, if you're ever in Colorado you might like the Challenge Pizza of the state at Beau Jo's. If you've seen Man Vs Food, you might know it, it's called the 14er. Most of the time in Colorado a 14er refers to a mountain over 14,000 feet, but at Beau Jo's it's a 14 POUND pizza. If you can finish it with a friend in 45 minuets you get it free but if you want more people, time, or to take it home it's a $30.00 pizza.
Stories about divorce and entitled people serve as a delicious reminder to me that staying single, uninvolved and answerable only to my cat (recently killed) for the last 40 years has made my life so simple, so rewarding and pleasurable, so unstressed and self-fulfilling that I wonder why I EVER got married in the first place. I pity all those locked into toxic relationships, harried by witch Mother-in-Laws or drained dry by demanding kids, forced to suffer the horror-shows of "family celebrations" aka Nightmares on Elm Street! Freedom is best served solo!
3rd story: We have managed to make sonething similar in middle school with my class. One day, a teacher tought that we should cook pizza on one of the lessons, and everyone brought their own toppings. Then, our collective child brains clicked, and tought: "we could either make one, measely topped pizza with a slice of meat and cheese for each of us, so everyone eats what he brought, ooor... We added the toppings togedher, creating a baked monstrosity. The topping was 2-3 centimetres thick, mixed with salami, ham, 4 different cheeses, vegetables, etc... It was glorious, and very filling. One single slice that each of us got (big tectangle, everyone got a ~2×4 piece) filled us up enough to skip lunch XD
I love hearing good divorce stories, my ex wife got everything including the dog, but because she got everything i was now off the hook for any and all payments. I'm so glad we didn't have kids, i can't imagine how hard it would be to be civil with her just for the kids sake.
That last story - yikes. As a logical, fair woman, I can't even imagine acting the way she is. She comes with no documentation to court and acts like a foll screaming, climbing on the table... all in front of others. How did that guy survive the marriage as she has no self-control!
She’s a raging narcissist and doesn’t think she needs any proof of anything because everybody just has to handover whatever she demands. It’s a step above entitled jerk.
Also, they way she behaved had no real consequences for her. Sure, she got a smaller paycheck, but she was lying through the entire process - which could have devastated another persons life, if succeded.
Story 1: op has their heart in the right place and their handling of the situation is about wha I expected. However, they don't realize the potential issues caused by lifting the wipers. It's exposing the tension springs, while stretched, to the ice. This leads to weakening the springs and requiring varying degrees of difficulty on repairs. Then there's the risk of something knocking that wiper arm down onto the cold glass which potentially could crack the glass depending on wiper style, condition, and spring tension from the arms. The better solution is an ice blanket. that way you come out in the morning, open your door, then take the blanket off, ice included, shake it off and tuck it away for later use. I'd rather replace and/or break free a cheap piece of rubber than replace a hard to replace metal spring or the windshield.
the ex in the last story is a real piece of work the dog's belong to her EX husband long before she came into picture so there fore they should still be his dogs not hers
My ex came over to my apartment with cops, several trucks and emptied out the apartment. That was 25 years ago and still hate her and can't be in the same state she's in. I always keep 6 states between us.
My ex worked for her attorney. I'd receive court summons every few minths over things I supposedly wasn't paying. It would cost me $1k in attorney's fees plus missed wages, every time I had to show up. Eventually, the judge demanded that she stop the nonsense and submit real evidence that I wasn't paying or she would be responsible for all court related costs. She did this 7 times before the judge shut it down.
Story 4: My divorce was a nightmare. Took 3 years, and because I was deploying to Iraq (literally the day after the divorce was finalized) that was used for me to lose any kind of custody of my 3 children. The marriage was 12 years, 15 if you want to count the 3 years it took to divorce, and as of right now approaching 22 years divorced and still as relieved now as I was when I walked out the door. I said I'll never get married again. I have never even gotten into a relationship, just absolutely no interest or desire. Totally content alone, and not lonely. My ex made it two years solo and ended up marrying someone 2 years younger than our eldest child. I hope them all the happiness and to stay far far away from me!
Please keep this in mind, as I went through a divorce that wasn't very cordial at the beginning, just because someone shows up at your place of residence with the police doesn't mean you have to comply with anything. Especially if said person no longer has residency at the home. This did happen to me, once, and only once. She called the cops to get 'more of her stuff' out of the house. She did have some things, but we were still in the middle of divorce proceedings and sorting everything out. The court even told her that this will be taken care of at our next hearing while my lawyer and I did inventory of items to see what was relevant and what wouldn't be. Fast forward a week or so and she shows up at 6PM in the evening, just after I had gotten home from work and had told the police I had 'locked her out' of her own home and she wanted to get her stuff. Lucky for me I took pictures of all of the documents, saved them to Google Drive, had them readily available. Presented them to the officers then I kindly asked, "Now that this is settled, would y'all kindly leave my property and please do not return without a legal court order."
I will never understand how people go from loving each other to trying to take everything they can out of spite, it's crazy. I'd only ask to take what I came with and what I paid for and be done with it if I was in a situation like that.
Story 3: I did not care for Rudy's take on service people "server is for high school girl" no one should be subjected to the sheer unbridled psychological BS that is dealing with people like Rudy
So my usual order as far as Pizza goes is a medium to large pizza with cheese, pretty much every meat except pepperoni (because that’s too spicy for me) as well as black olives, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, mushrooms, capers and pineapple and yes even though that sounds like a really weird combination for me the taste is unlike anything else I’ve ever put in my face, it’s just so good
I'd eat the anchovies. I actually don't add salt to most foods, at the table, so sometimes have a sodium deficiency and sweat easily. Whilst living in Arizona those 32 years, I had to take sodium pills until I added a little salt more often. Weird, I know...many are the opposite. But when I eat anchovies, that takes care of it for days! LOL
Lol that pizza one is great i have done that many many times to people through the years gotta humble the shitheels if they come back that attitude is checked at the door when they see you or hear your voice
I worked at a pizza place, and when ordering, "everything" did not include anchovies, which had to be asked for separately, and we were to clarify if they wanted hot peppers. So when someone asked for "everything", I would ask, "EvErYtHiNg?" in an exaggerated incredulous voice.
Story 3, I worked for a west coast chain where someone specifically ordered a pizza with every topping because they thought that they were getting shortchanged by our combination/supreme, for the record we had around 40 toppings at the time, I actually had to split the toppings as a half n half because all 40 toppings would crash the system. Oh and that single large almost came to 60$
I live in northern Ontario and know a thing or two about Canadian winters. Putting wipers up like that can cause damage if there are strong winds. It is better to simply start your car and get the defrost going first to start ice melting. Then begin to clear the windshield. While I would have been more polite about it, I would not want anyone doing this to my car. The OP should have not touched his neighbour’s vehicle without permission.
Story 1 could just as easily come under petty revenge. I understand why the neighbours might be bothered that a virtual stranger was touching their car, and I'd probably have helped them in the morning and explained that's why the neighbours in the area do the wiper thing for each other at night.
Story three: just sounds like a perfect way to take home leftovers, and you’ve got quesadilla/sandwich stuffing for like, a week. Scrape that stuff off, and use it for what you’d like.
lessons to learn from this STORY 1: be nice to people around you(especially the ones who try to help you). you never know when you might actually need their help. STORY 2:customer is not always right. be nice to the employee and you might save yourself from paying extra. STORY 3:never insult someone who handles your food. STORY 4:always keep a paper trail when dealing with a crappy person who just wants to screw you over.make sure to get everything in writing and never take their word for it.
I've lost count of the number of times some nice server has saved me $$ by changing the order slightly (with my permission). Be nice to the folks making your food and they'll look out for you...Never piss off the cook.
Story 2 - first of all $12 usd for a single taco? That’s almost $18 in Australia. 😳 That’s insane. Secondly - What the Eff is “Vegan Free”? Does that mean that they want the food with animal products?
First story, sorry I would not be happy. I don't like my wipers up. I'm from Montana and we don't do that, the wind would rip the wipers right off. And even where I live now in MI I refuse to put them up. The ice is just as likely to freeze them in the standing position. I will get the ice off of my windshield and as much as my hood as I can anyway.
I love pizza more than I love almost any other Italian food but, the pizza OP served in story 3 just sounds so horrendous that I’m sure a picture of it would scar me for life. “Order up! One medium Frankenstein’s Monster!”
Fun fact: The full quote is "The customer is right in matters of taste." Two quotes similarly drastically changed by shortening: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." The family you choose is more important than the family you're born to. "Great minds think alike but fools rarely differ." Kinda obvious, hopefully.
