After a suicide attempt I was transferred to a mental hospital. A guy there was schizophrenic. He self admitted. He said, "I couldn't afford my medication. I started hearing demons screaming so I came in." Dude was so nonchalant. Major respect for him recognizing it and getting help
I hope you're doing better 🤍 It's really sad that some people can't afford life saving medication like this. I'm thankful to be Canadian for that reason.
@@soulgazer11 Im doing better. I recently had a lapse in my own medication due to cost ($380ish for 30 days) and landed myself in the ER from severe memory loss. My dad was able to pay for my medication and my memory is pretty well recovered now. Still occasionally forget where I am but it only lasts a couple seconds
@@RiotWild WTF? man, why is that so expansive? Can't you get a generic version? In my country drug patents get broken in 10 years or so, so you can get a generic rather fast compared to having to wait for 30 years. I'm even more convinced now that I don't want to live in the U.S. Furthermore, some people sue the government for drugs extremely expensive and sometimes win. You guys can be a superpower and all, but what is the meaning of that if your people have to struggle to survive?
it's so weird to me. One time I thought I won't wake up from new pills(turns out even small dose too much), you almost always get nausea and headaches as side effects... and some people just take unknown drugs?
I had to live with some family for a few weeks after I had back surgery a few years ago. I had my spine basically broken apart and stuck back together with pins and a “glue” made from crushed up bone. I was in a LOT of pain. I also had just had a baby less than a year earlier (hence needing to live with family, since I couldn’t lift the baby or sit on the floor) and was dealing with postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. So I was on a lot of meds. The family members also had a SIL living with them and they were in denial about her alcohol and drug abuse issues. I had a little box with a lid that I kept all my meds in and I tried to keep my meds with me at all times (up high, out of Baby’s reach), but I also slept a lot. And my pills started going missing. These were pills that I was given very exact amounts of each month and if I ran out before the month was up, I was shit out of luck until the next prescription was due. I would just have to deal with unimaginable pain with no help. With a crawling baby to take care of. So my husband and I talked to the family we were staying with (they were his family), but they insisted that I must’ve “accidentally taken too many pills” and heavily suggested I was the one with the problem. So we got a box with a combination lock on it for my meds. We made up some excuse about keeping the baby out of it. But after that my meds stopped going missing. And a couple months after I was cleared to be able to lift my baby again and we went back home, those family members caught SIL stealing liquor and meds from them. Now I wish I had thought of putting laxatives in one of the bottles and leaving it out.
When you have an addiction that is so severe that you are stealing medicine from a schizophrenia person, it is time for an intervention. A MAJOR intervention.
Lmao I know exactly what thos pink pills were. My sister used to steal my seroquels to get high too. She overdosed on them and ended up in the hospital getting her stomach pumped at 16. She blamed me, and because she's my mother's favourite, my mother also blamed me. 🙄 Needless to say I don't speak to either of them anymore.
My brother had ADHD meds that my mom refused to let him take. So my dad, knowing we both had ADHD, gave me some. Not often, only when we knew I had big things like a test on Friday I needed to pass or something. So for three days he would give me my brothers pill in the morning and it helped a lot. Till we ran out lol. Now I don't just need pills for ADHD but for severe depression and severe anxiety. So we found the right combination
@@SaikiKFann yes he is. My mom is a pretty toxic person. It took me blowing up on her as a grown adult to realize "okay she might have some mental issues" My dad knew something was off when I was young but my mom would constantly get in his ear and say I was just being a dramatic teenager. Now he understands that not only do I have ADHD but I'm also on the autism spectrum. So he does his best to help me when he can Little POA, even if a teenager is being dramatic if they think there's something wrong it's better for everyone just to get it checked.
As a female who worked security for years, note a few things: we are contractors to a site in most cases (so while we may work a single site like a football field or baseball field we are not actually apart of the site) so if she were to sue it would be against her employer and not the site. And second she should have absolutely gone to HR the first time any comment was made against her; normally during orientation we are given a handbook that has the number to HR as well as a line to report problems in secret especially if you don't feel like your supervisor is taking you seriously.
HR is not there to protect the employees. They are there to protect the company and management. Considering it involved management, she wouldn't have been helped and if anything, they would've ensured she'd get fired soon enough after that for X or Y reason.
Yes, HR may act your friend, get it right, they are a resource for the company to protect themselves, not your friend. In some instances they may indeed intercede in a large enough company and an immediate supervisor, but the closer to the top of the company the offender is, the more they will do to protect the boss and more to set you up. In the instance of OP, she should have taken the evidence to a attorney prior to releasing it to HR. Even if she didn't intend to litigate it and seek a settlement. Why? Because she broke some rules and possible some laws in the manner in which she obtained that evidence. You would be amazed how litigious a company can be if they want to cover their back side and are seeking to shut you up. Companies are not above putting negative information about previous employees into play if they are protecting themselves. How many times have you heard a news report when a company gets in trouble from a whistle blower revealing something and the report says " A disgruntled former employee' in the tag line? To be fair, there are times you DO want to go to HR without a lawyer being consulted first, like in the instance of you wanting something documented and on the record , (keep your own records! DON'T count on HR producing them later on, they may "disappear conveniently" if you do). Like if a supervisor attributes some shortcoming to you when in fact it was another employee or faulty equipment etc. having it documented that you disputed what the supervisor claimed you did, without proof, can later be valuable.
I used to be a security guard, and when he said she should sue the baseball company I was all WTFH?! I mean, I know that deep-pocket laws are a thing, but come on, that's really a stretch. But then I remembered that nobody actually knows anything about security guards, except maybe what little made it into 'Mall Cop' so, it was almost definitely a misunderstanding.
You are a security guard and bougt the story, from someone claiming to be a ecurity guard but can't handle people getting in their face and react by running away? There is no way in hell anyone like that would consider working public facing security.
As someone who takes anti-depressants for suicidal depression. Not only does missing several days put me in EXTREME danger of a suicide (you cant go cold turkey on those meds or you will end up way worse than if you werent medicated for a long time) but I also cannot fill more than a months prescription (30 days) at a time. I can only get a refill 5 days before my meds run out. if im just doing my thing taking my pills like im told thats not ever a problem. And after several years and the occasional missed dose (shit happens and you forget to take at the right time, you cant just take in whenever its like Birth Control) I have a month or 2 extra. But if people steal my meds they could quite possibly cause me to kill myself. Thats not going to be a good memory later when all you wanted to do was make some money selling it, or getting high.
She sounded mature and composed on the phone so he assumed she must've been tall. When he found out she was short he started thinking of her as a lot less capable.
I’m glad OP left that job and I feel like Rslash she should have went to a lawyer with the evidence but also the news press. Because how many times did she report the sexual harassment and the company did nothing about it?
Oh yeah, my proof would have gone to every news media outlet and social media platform I could get my hands on. Sure, a lawsuit would be great, but making sure the WORLD knew what monsters they are? Even better.
Because thats technically NOT sexual harassment she never told her co workers that it made her uncomfortable in their eyes they were just flirting the manager should have told them to stop but they didn't so that would be hostile work environment not sexual harreament
@@liamzakhaev don't blame me blame all the people who like to play hard to get i personally disloke them to and you talk as if am the person who did the harresing and you really stupid for saying that because you normally have to try multiple times for any flirting to be reciprocated so they is NO way to tell they arent interested without being told so nowadays
2nd story. As much as I wanna support her.. A security guard is a bad job with PTSD. No matter which kind. It just is. She may have all the qualifications and be good at her job, but if an altercation happens and someone starts screaming at her in the wrong situation it could get dangerous if worst comes to worst. EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm talking about guests yelling, not coworkers... The coworker was far out of line.
I was also thinking "Whats wrong with her". Why would she decide to work as a guard. She is constantly saying that she is small, thin ,weak ,gets scared easily and has PTSD. There are so many jobs available yet she HAS to work as a guard? You have to be good at your job and profession regardless of gender.
@@effingcool1780 She's just not qualified to work with security... Guards have to be strong, resilient and be able to stand their ground in physical altercation and when facing intimidation. There's nothing for a fragile and weak woman to be doing in this field of work. What kind of security guard needs to bring in her boyfriend to be able to talk to an intimidating coworker?
@@bloomy2121 yeah we had a woman who fits the description of the OP exactly, petite and timid, and it was a disaster. It actually put myself and others into dangerous situations because she would never be able to handle when people yelled. We fired her and hired a bunch of massive ex military and never had a problem again.
"You sounded taller." "Yeah, I may not reach all the way up to you, but YOU and your sensitive parts reach all the way down to me to make your day REALLY miserable." Whoever said you had to throw punches only at your opponent's shoulder and head levels? An uppercut to the nadgers does wreak havoc to a man's fighting will. And when he's bent double that's when the fun starts.
@@emanymton7184 yeah cause a short woman with no strenght and wich get scared by screaming is a good guard. sure a armed person doesn t scared her but someone screaming does? well then you can t guard during the day. and i bet a normal guard could brake her spine even after a bellow the belt hit (wich is very disrespectfull and tells a lot about you if that s the only thing you are able to do)
@@idahooo3253 I see. You still have that misconception that this is some kind of a sports match. It's not. It's a fight. And in a fight it is not about being respectful, it is about me stopping you from wanting to carry on the fight as quickly as possible. That means either breaking your assets or breaking your will. And if that means I have to crush your fragile little... ego then I will happily do it. Again, we are not in a boxing ring, this is not an UFC octagon nor a wrestling show match. This is a fight and I have neither the time nor the desire to cater to your "rules". In a fight there are no rules.
My Ex, we'll call him Julian...He would come over and spend the night at my house once in a while as I took care of my elderly mother..She had pain meds in the kitchen and one night after we went to bed I heasrd the sound of pills rattling..well sure enough Julian had taken some..Nothing is lower than stealing an old lady's pain meds as she went through hell after a stroke! So I replaced them with you guessed it, LAXATIVE! He spent the night again a week later and sure enough I wake up to the sound of pills rattling...I went back to bed..He texted later on asking if Outback had made me sick too and I said No I'm fine! I knew what it was..and eventually so did he!!! Lesson learned!
Or the OP's State EEOC, if the security company didn't have an EEO officer onboard, or even perhaps the stadium's EEO officer since the security was contracted to represent their security needs, like any female fan would feel secure around those guys.
When I worked security, we had several females working there, some were quite pretty, and they took some sexual harassment from coworkers, so being a good Sgt of the guard, I had them record every encounter wit the harassers. Turns out one of the worse was our Lt, he got fired, and the rest were written up with final warning. Never had that problem again. Corporate tried to give me a promotion for it, I turned it down, I'm a better Sgt.
As a demon I can confirm, Satan is much better than that boss in the last story. I mean, he’s an awful guy, but in comparison to that boss he’s a saint.
Honestly, Satan's job is just punishing sinners for what they've done in life. His victims deserve what they get. That boss has no justification for his abuse.
Real quick, psychology is a major thing in my life. I love the way that OP phrased it "if you can keep your medication balanced you can live a perfectly normal life" this is 100% true especially for more severe schizophrenics. Sometimes schizophrenia can manifest as just hearing voices or seeing things that aren't actually there, but a lot of times it becomes far more violent. It's very easy to get confused about what's real and what's not, and will medication does help there's always the fear in the back of your mind that it's going to stop working. Schizophrenia can shift so quickly because of the type of disorder that it is. It's a mania meaning there is a very very very high chance you will end up having to schizophrenic break at some point in time. Having schizophrenia is one of the most dangerous and life shattering disorders, but it also leads to the best success stories. Well studying psychology at college, we read about a person who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of eight. This poor kid had six mental breaks between the age of 8 and 18 which is really bad. When he finally turned 18 he moved out of his parents house and he got a lot better. What was causing his main schizophrenic breaks was the fact that his dad had PTSD so whenever his dad had PTSD breaks the kid would have to schizophrenic break. The success story that came from this kid was so amazing because he went from completely incapacitated, to being able to thrive and do several different things. I don't remember if we were told what he ended up doing in life, I believe he became a business owner but I might be wrong. Like I said schizophrenia can start off so bad but lead to such great success stories. I haven't even listened past the first sentence, but I just had to share that because I can already tell this is going to be a success story.
This might sound a little harsh, so let me preface this with that I do not condone what that security lady's coworker did. He's another employee and he should definitely know better. But on the other hand... I'm unsure how I feel about allowing someone with PTSD to be a security guard. This seems like something that should preclude you from that kind of job, because it could very easily become an issue if someone is kicking and screaming when you're trying to escort them out of an area they're not supposed to be in. (Which I assume is something that a security officer would need to do every so often, but maybe I could be wrong.)
See, at least unlike other people, you have a reasonable concern. You arent blaming her gender, but her PTSD, for possible issues, which actually makes sense and is even spoken of in good faith. I'm a highly merit-based thinker, where so long as you prove capable of doing something regardless of who you are, I say go for it if you can genuinely provide. If a PTSD victim can somehow manage as a guard somewhere, then hey, there you go, just make sure you keep up the good work.
PTSD can affect people very differently depending on what trauma caused it. If none of her triggers are related to the work she’s in then she should be fine. It really comes down to each person being aware of their own triggers and limits.
Absolutely understand where you're coming from but, it actually depends on the type of PTSD. I have treated numerous people with this disorder so it can be from s** assault so kicking and screaming people wouldn't trigger them. It all just depends on the type of trauma love..
I wondered about this as well. My best guess is that she is on her way of recovery and took the job because she has owned the anxieties connected to this trigger, not avoiding it all costs anymore. First I thought, it might be part of her treatment for PTSD. In some cases that includes exposure to overcome certain anxieties. But then again, exposure therapy consists of well-defined, short-term exposure. No therapist would ask a patient to take a (long-term) job with frequent and unpredictable risk of exposure to the trigger.
I caught my mom red handed bent down going in my purse stealing my pain medication. She had a handful, I dumped out the bottle and counted right in front of her and my step dad, she took 5 full days of meds, not counting the ones I just took back from her. I lost my shit on her, that was in 2010 and she's not allowed in my house now. I can't trust her, never could.
True. The woman was really tiny though. Too tiny to work a public security job. And having an anxiety disorder on top of that means she probably shouldn’t work in that field.
@@Pysnpai That's a whole other topic of conversation. Whether she should be working in that field or not, that doesn't excuse her coworker's behavior; which is what I was focusing on.
So about that last one, while I'm glad OP got revenge on several horrible people, and while I think they sound like a decent person, there are a few things OP is not cleared on. #1 If op was a small person with very little presence why where they so insistent on staying at a security job? I mean OP admitted people yelling in their face was enough to trigger PTSD so they got a job where they are very likely to get yelled at by drunken baseball fans? #2 The reason OP wouldn't have a court case is because they recorded footage from a screen at work, in almost all states this is a crime because the footage is legally owned by the owners of the stadium since it is a private business. #3 OP, a security personnel, brought a man with no officiation to the stadium or the security team into the private security area to "talk to" her boss after hours. Even in the best senerio this is a horrific security violation, and while her boss should have reacted more calmly he did have every right to kick OPs boyfriend out of the stadium given the circumstances. #4 Again while it should have been handled better OP did kinda drop the ball by taking orders from someone and abandoning her station.
I have the feeling that the whole agency might be kinda unprofessional. OP could have been used to informal situations, like bringing a friend to the stadium or seeing every worker as an equal, like in #4. Everyone in that story was kinda unprofessional and it made me cringe a little any time OP contradicts herself or reacted unprofessional, but maybe that is how she is used to all of this. Still glad that she jumped over her shadow and was witty enough to gather evidence. I think that must have been very brave of her.
Just on the first point, it was clear she enjoyed her job, sexual harassment aside of course. She can't help that she's not an ideal fit for the job and it shouldn't matter either 🤷🏻♀️
Revenge 1: Never steal people's medication. You never know when they wind up to have been swapped with something undesirable. Revenge 2: You really gotta hate sexual harassment and sexism in the workplace. If I ever become a manager or boss, any of those actions will result in a write-up. No mercy for the bullies.
Write ups? Bro concrete sexual harassment should be suspension or termination not a warning. Its basic common sense dont force your advances on people who clearly dont want it.
@@tylerclark1979 The problem with that is people can make false allegations, and if the punishment is that severe immediately then many innocent people will have their lives ruined.
Shouldn't let bad encounters make you sexist though. You hear about men who end up sexist towards women because of bad experiences, same follows for the OP of that last story. Never blame a generalized whole for the actions of a specific few. That's prejudice, that's discrimination, and just because it's "the oppressor group" doesn't make it okay. Two wrongs don't make a right, they just make both people assholes.
That’s what I thought she is 5’2 and 120 pounds while most people are 5’5 and up I’m not sure if she has the build for the job but hey if she is able to do the job properly then she should do it if she wants
@@halokylene8407 Same. Then later scared about being near him because he was taller. People scream at security guards all the time - if that's a trigger, don't get in the business. Doesn't excuse those jerks and we're not victim blaming.
Facts. Plus, she said she didn't like confrontation, but security officers must be able to handle confrontation with some very harsh people. To put it simply, you have to be able to keep calm and rational while Keith and Kelly yell at you for doing your job.
Just a quick note about small women working security, one of the security at a port I worked out of had a girl in her early 20's, very petite, very pretty and 5' 2"(ish). The far more important fact to know is her dad owned a martial arts business and she was a part time instructor for self defence classes. I got the pleasure of seeing her a few times taking down guys over twice her size. There's a football supporter out there and if he ever has kids I imagine they'll come out bruised 😂
My stepdad used to work security as a bouncer; often at biker bars. He was attacked with pool cues, broken bottles, knives, even threatened with a gun once. One thing he taught me was never underestimate anyone; you have no idea what they're able to do. In the 25+ years since he told me that, it continues to be true.
@@SH-qs7ee so true. Even in my younger years I wasn't that much of a trouble maker but young idiots being young idiots I got into a fight with a mate of mine over something I can't even remember why. I'm bang on 6ft, from a farmer family so reasonably well built and big farmer hands. When I want to be I can be quite intimidating without doing anything. My mate was ficken tiny in comparison. He kicked my arse silly, couldn't catch the little smeg 😂
@@MoA-Reload... This is hilarious LMAO. I'm quite petite and underweight because I've been sick for the better part of my life and friends who are twice my size are always surprised at my strength. No pain tolerance though, will pass out from a cut 😂
To be fair if ur reaction is crying and running away, security is maybe not for u. In this case both the coworker and op should look for different jobs.
@@laciihasz4734 There's a difference between expecting a negative reaction and preparing for it versus being caught off guard. OP was also recommended for rehire. So apparently she was a good enough security guard to be brought back.
@@JamzP14 No, Laci's right. If your triggered by emotional confrontation and people screaming in your face, security work is NOT for you. This woman sounds wholely unfit for the job. She's so meek and submissive that she never went to HR the first time her supervisor ignored her. She broke down and went sobbing and skipped her shift because someone yelled at her. Just because her co-workers were terrible people doesn't magically remove the fact that she is not mentally fit for that job and should get a different one. Seriously, she explicitly states someone screaming in her face triggers her PTSD. What happens if a customer screams in her face? Stop making excuses, she is not fit for that job, nor is the guy who yelled at her. Again, as Laci said, they BOTH need new careers.
I've been watching this since quarantine, your channel has gotten me through meltdowns, sensory overload, screaming, hospital visits, and sickness. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos.
Sameeee- this man made me function decently enough in life again....whenever I have to do something like waking up, get ready, do the freakin dishes...just I suddenly find the motivation to do them and not end up in a honest to god breakdown just of the thought of waking up and it being another day ...kudos to him
Thank you for constantly Gathering these stories, and compiling them into a neat little video. I watch your videos everyday, it's very satisfying to hear entitled people get what they deserve. I also enjoy judging people on the internet with you. I watch you everyday when I eat my lunch. It's probably a lot of work trying to gather stories that will keep people's attention, yet you managed to do this and produce a video every day. Thank you so much! Your videos are great source of anxiety relief for me.
Had she done it from the start there wouldn't be a need for revenge. Someone afraid of confrontation should not be working in that field. Her inaction allowed a douchebag to get promoted and further a toxic work environment. She essentially let a situation marinate until she could ruin their lives over it instead of nipping it in the bud. They were clearly assholes so who cares, but women who do this and don't stand up for themselvesimmediately perpetuate victimhood.
@@NEPAAlchey Wow. She even said that she has several mental illnesses that make it hard for her to confront people. Do you even know what social anxiety is? Also I don't know as in what job you are working, but the way she confronted her boss is the ONLY way to confront superiors. If she would have done something else drastically, she would have lost her job without getting revenge. This is reality, this is not a playground were you can scream or punch the kids that treat you wrong. That is not how the world of jobbing works. As I said, any other action would have gotten her fired, without her getting any evidence for the HR. She stood up for herself in the most legal and possible way. With your comment you only put down someone, who jumped over their mental illnesses and did justice for themselves and gave strength to women in work environments. Watch your words.
I wonder, did that " douch", feel tough, big, important? Did he feel like he did the company a service by loosing his cool and screaming a probably nervous sounding employee? Did he think he had to evoke some emergency discipline rule that allows equal employees to discipline each other in emergencies?
Sometimes it's deep-seated insecurities that turn from self-loathing into anger, but if I had to take a wild guess? I'd say forget micro; this sob's got an innie~
Just Google it. A lot of meds contain stuff that people that don't take the drug, can get high from. Morphine is awesome when you are in pain, but if you use it when not in pain you can get addicted.
The first story got me so very mad. OP could have suffered another psychotic attack and got pernament brain damage. Also, they could have gotten higher if they stole the anti-anxiety meds.
Not to be the A. But if I had problems with people screaming in my face, the last job I would do is security. The rest of the story is so full of holes, that i must cal bs.
See, DOCUMENTATION is key in cases like the security guard's. If there is video evidence, get it. Keep a journal of every interaction with dates, times, any witnesses, what was said, how you felt, etc. This constitutes a legal document and can be produced in court if necessary. This has saved me TWICE in my long and varied working life. One case went to court and I won.
That security job was the longest story of a bunch of abuse with little to no pay off. My god. There was no pro in it. At all. It was a second job so she subjected herself to that for so long why?
She had already faced abuse as a child growing up.. its hard to not stand up for oneself once that’s been dealt as a child.. ~,~ I couldn’t do what she did at my own sexist job... just glad I don’t work there anymore
Unpopular opinion: the security OP shouldn't be in security. No way could she actually prevent anyone nefarious from acting with her stature and PTSD. This does not mean anything that happened to her was fair or OK. It is frustrating having to leave your safety in the hands of someone obviously not capable of winning a fight against a teenager let alone a grown, armed man.
Except she had multiple reports of being a great worker, which is why she got rehired after quitting the first time... the only trouble she had was with sexist and disgusting coworkers... She worked at a baseball park, not somewhere more dangerous. And I DEFINITELY wouldn't want some aggro-dipshit with anger issues and rape fantasies being the one protecting people...
@@lukereyes6266 not really. Angry customers would scream at her on a daily basis which would be really bad. Being like that every day…it must be horrible.
@@dinahmyte3749 I will let you in on a secret, most places that have security don't ever actually HAVE issues at all. The ISSUE is that if there ever was a major real incident she would not be equipped to handle it. Her description of her assignments sounds like she was night security mainly when customers weren't present or guarding doors patrons WEREN'T coming through, aka the safest two options. Watch literally any video of an arrest with a female officer, people literally just walk away at best and at worst the absolutely body the female officer. My father was in law enforcement for over 30 years, female officers are necessary and awesome. But there are things they cannot do and roles you do not assign them to.
Honestly I would have just said “hey roommates? I need those to live… so if you don’t want to find me dangerously incoherent. Please leave my meds alone.”
I wish I could have gotten payback like the last story at my security job. While married and pregnant, I had multiple coworkers claim we had affairs and they fathered my child lol but not one single person ever said that bullshit to my face.
Being schizo is often manageable through meds. For the patient it's often more confusing than them wanting to harm anyone ever. Imagine you hear/see/feel things that are real to you, but others deny. Do you trust yourself or others? It's hard not to trust yourself... and confusing.
@@live_unafraid47 i lived with a guy who became paranoid schizophrenic. He was tiny compared to me, I'm 6'5 and he was closer to 5'2. However.. when he's in the kitchen holding a knife and I'm forced to pass him to get to the fridge and I see him tense up.. that's unnerving to me as well. He ended up in an asylum for the last 4 months I lived there because he refused to take his meds.
I used to work there, I got my PERC license through them. I then went on and got my bachelor's in criminal justice administration, I'm 13 classes away from a master's degree. I worked for Pinkerton in 2003.
I can confirm that OP's antipsychotics meds can cause constipation due to the meds being a higher dose. So it makes sense why OP needs those laxatives. That's one of the downsides of taking any meds
Honestly the security worker should not have had that toxic of a workplace. But if she is that small and has those issues which will probably happen considering angry crowds like yelling at security and getting in their face. Maybe she should not have been a security guard but I can't control another person's decisions.
While all of the things mentioned in the security story were horrible, agreed, it is important to note that someone who is 5'2" and so small that none of the uniform components will fit likely isn't physically imposing enough to be a security guard. Additionally, having experienced trauma that would result it you breaking down into tears if someone yelled at you, you're probably not mentally equipped to handle a job where someone is likely to do this on a regular basis. If you're armed, the equation changes a little but not by much. Again, viewing this in a vacuum, security likely isn't the position you're best suited for.
Frankly dear tiny girl needs to sue BIG TIME. They did some very serious shit, very serious threats, incredibly condescending attitudes. She had evidence for an absolutely massive upset, a lawsuit that would have her OWNING that place, and enough to put away both Satan and shit head possibly even jail time.
If I lived with a known schizophrenic I would be first one making sure they had their meds and they were all good. If you are stealing meds from a schizophrenic you need to take a long hard look at yourself
People can work where they want, if she can't handle people screaming, let her work on it, she could work just like anyone else, actually a person who can't handle that BS is better for containing douches, since she won't hesitate to stop them
Same thing I was going to say. If you have PTSD and a trigger is people yelling at you. Security/Law enforcement is not something you should do. That also doesn't give a pass at how OP was treated by employers. It is like someone afraid of flying wanting to be a pilot.
@@Tactical_Tailgater She literally said she has PTSD. She needs to work on that before going into that line of work. The world isn't responsible for your triggers or needs in situations like that.
@@Tactical_Tailgater wrong. If you react to stuff emotionally instead of rationally you will make things worse. Buildings won't be very secure if the guard crumbles when yelled at. There are various jobs that every one of us are not meant for.
You guys ever realize that this is one of the few channels that doesn’t have people who bot the comment section? Pretty nice thing about this community. Also thanks for the popcorn 🍿
Just realized after listening to you for like 2 years that your kids are gonna be so lucky cause their dad is pro at voice acting and telling stories 😁. Brothers Karamazov for everyone!
How do you carry out duties as a security officer with than many diagnoses and can't take being yelled at? I agree tho still that was messed up team tho
That’s what I have wondered about this story. If you can’t take someone yelling in your face why are you in a position where people will yell at you for doing your job?
@@xxDayWolfxx Because it is different. In one situation, she is the one with power. That gives her control of the situation. In the other situation, she is powerless. Meaning she has no control of the situation. It is the difference between jumping into the water on your own and being pushed in against your will. The outcome is the same but the experience is different. Handling one doesn't mean handling the other.
@@Ikajo like winter wolf said she is non confrontational and she is weak I’m not saying that cause she a women or cause of the ptsd even thought that alone makes the job not fit for her but she is physically weak tell me who would you trust more for handling a situation a 5’2 person that is 120 pound or someone who is 5’6 and 160 pounds I think the answer is clear
yikes… the security officer story really got me. a lot of abusive and terrifying behavior that would have made me break. anyone with a history with that stuff knows how dismissive people can be about the severity of triggers like that, the bit blaming op for not keeping her composure? that hit
@@SH-qs7ee the only answer. People who scream to get their point across and demean others don't understand passive aggressive responses. They only understand that might makes right, and you have to show that you're way mightier than they are
wait.. second story... a young and tiny girl who has 'PTSD, anxiety and depression issues' and who can't handle people who shout at her... who breaks into sobbing tears at the drop of a hat.. that girl states that she was great at her job as a security officer?! That girl is miffed because her 'sexist' boss 'doesn't respect her? Girl, if a small and fragile young MAN with 'PTSD, anxiety etc.' had held that job, and had burst out into sobbing tears when his co-worker yelled at him because he had effed up the job... do you think that 'sexist' boss would've respected him? If you think being a security guard is all about strolling around beautiful and EMPTY parks, you've chosen the wrong job. A security guard should be able and willing to stop and evict people who don't belong where they are, and I can guarantee that yelling will be the least of your problems. If ya can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!
For the security guard story... wish she'd had a recorder. In my country it's legal to record someone so long as one party of the recording appears and knows about the recording. So voice recording? you have to speak. Video? You have to be seen. After 10 year min wage of this level of abuse and TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars into my abuser's pockets... I record, EVERYTHING.
I'm a small male 5"5 and 110lbs, people scream and try to fight me a lot because I'm an easy target and won't tolerate bullies. They tend to stop once the boss or a friend lets them know I got three black belts and over 20 years of martial arts experience, no one wants to be flogged by someone half their size.
I may sound full of preconceptions, but how can a security guard can work having social anxiety and fear of confrontation? Isn't their job to be strong in those exact moments?
No offense to the OP in the second story but... if you're that small, and you get triggered by people yelling and screaming at you.. is security really the best job for you?
I've had chronic migraines and other illnesses since I was 6. I've become a layman expert about a lot of medical issues because of it. I'm the friend people reach out to when a new problem comes up. (I carry my medications at all times, but I make sure to keep OTC meds that people often need but forget.) In my freshman year of college, my roommate was a film and animation major and was also on the college acting troup. On the first night of their production of Lend Me a Tenor, I got a desperate call from the stage manager. Looks like Katie was quite sick (fever >101) and had raided my med box so she could use something to get through the performance. I brought my box to the stage and we figured she hadn't taken too much that might harm her, but I got to ride in the ambulance just to be safe.
I actually had a big problem with medication at the age of 11. I have ADHD and autism which means I take medication that helps me concentrate at school. However six months into trying a new medication it went downhill for me causing me to get into major tantrums at even the smallest things making me do terrible things at school like break things, run away from the school, hurt people etc. Eventually they took me off the medication as the school could no longer handle how strong I was getting as this place wasn’t an autistic school and instead had a small department for those sort of kids. The only way the teachers in that compartment knew how to deal with out of control students was to put them into a hold stopping them from lashing out with both feet and hands. I eventually, after being held everyday for a month grew to much for them to handle and stepped up a notch resorting to breaking bigger, heavier things such as draws, a large whiteboard and a fire door. Eventually the school sent me home for six months saying that I was medically disabled for school as I was a good kid, everyone knew it. Moved to next school four months later and everything returned to normal. Just thought of mentioning it.
A security guard who's small enough that they have to wear children's clothes that freaks out and calls their boyfriend for a ride home when someone is mean to them? What? This is about as good an argument against affirmative action as I've ever heard. She says she'd be fine in an active shooter situation, but all he has to do is raise his voice to completely disable her. They're not generally quiet about it. Letting OP work in that field is a mistake that can put lives at risk. I'd really like to hear the other side of this, because her bosses sound pretty reasonable, aside from their hiring issues.
1. Don’t steal from your roommates 2. Don’t take pills if you aren’t 100% sure what they are 3. Be thankful it was just laxatives and didn’t fuck you up permanently
I have C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other issues from severe emotional and mental abuse. It's not easy so I understand where OP is coming from. People getting in your face and setting you off like that is too much
Wait... so OP is a small woman (and from the story, it seems she is even smaller than average)... have PTSD... doesn't like confrontation... and then work as SECURITY GUARD?
It's not as bad as someone stealing heavy duty medication to get high but when I was in school, we had a common room we could go to sit during our breaks, free periods and lunch. There was someone who would, eat the leftovers of other people's lunch left in the common room. A few girls in my year didn't like this, so one day they got their hands on a laxative and spiked the leftovers of a pot noodle. He ate it and then all I heard was talk about how he had gone home. The thing about the school I went to is that you did not want to use the boy's toilets for anything other than a quick pee because the troublemakers destroyed the locks on the cubicle, ripped the soap dispensers off the wall and had put all 3 rolls of toilet paper down the toilet. There were a few students who would sneak into the teacher's bathroom, but you didn't want to be caught in there if a teacher were to walk in. I wasn't cool enough to be in the loop so I can only imagine the poor bastard running to a store close by with a public toilet to do a shit and then went home because he didn't want the shame of shitting himself in the middle of 5th or 6th period. I just hope it wasn't Burger King as he would have had to go upstairs and past a whole bunch of customers at the time.
Rslash, you read my mind on your commentary about the man who screamed in that poor womans face, he didn't maintain his composure whatsoever. But that's almost expected in a "male dominant" work team, if most of the males enjoy sexually harassing female coworkers. Not all male dominant work forces are like this, just the ones made up of creeps.
