The story about the guy with PTSD is so sad. They should’ve taken him to get checked out the first time. It does sound like everyone gets along with each other.
it never happened. he would have immediately been taken to the hospital for a psych evaluation based on his rambling incoherent state, not jail. the OP lied
Imagine being so entitled that you harass the hotel, that you ignored the terms and conditions of, and demand they pay your bill, like just imagine being THAT entitled
@@ZombieSazza My local BK is always short-staffed, sometimes only having 2 people run the entire store! I bet they had more than a few angry customers asking what's taking so long with their order.
It happens way too often. People consider it's their "right" to be paid back if they weren't able to use a service they order. No matter if there's conditions like "If you don't ask for a cancellation before XX times, you won't get paid back", they will bring hell to get their money.
The main problem is... The United States, where I live, doesn't give a shit about people in or when they leave the military... If I'm not correct please do correct me... but Therapy or the such isn't given to soldiers with ptsd or the such. Leaving them to suffer and be an actual danger to others. Many aren't even fully compensated for their injuries/disability. At least this is how it used to be. It's honestly horrid how they are treated.
Military therapists do exist but it's not super well spread and there is still a very toxic "real men don't need therapy" mindset throughout, so many that need it and have access to a military therapist don't seek it out. The guy can obviously still go to normal therapy but that is an expensive luxury not everyone can afford.
@@RiveroftheWither Thanks for the information... that does make quite a bit of sense. This could also attribute to why they don't want to go to therapy, because of that initial attitude towards them TRYING to get therapy.
If you live near a good branch of the VA, you CAN get help. ..If you ask for it. ...If you can recognize the problem and overcome pride and conditioning enough to seek it. ...IF.
Yeah we’re too busy teaching critical race theory to the military, and worrying about maternity flight suits. Pretty sure they don’t care about the veterans unless they’re gay or trying to transition
I'm more curious as to why the vet wasn't taken to fuckin jail for assault instead of basically being let go immediately after being escorted off the property.
The PMS system and all those electronically locked doors going down are why a manual backup is always a good investment. Especially the doors because that's a fire hazard.
At our hotel every single one of our doors is backed up with battery powers. So if the power goes out (happens weirdly a lot) people are still able to access their rooms
Yea... Or some MECHANICAL systems that overrides the electronic lock in case the fire alarm goes off... But yea... A general system that allows opening with a regular, mechanical key, a physical piece of metal, to open doors should be in place... Aren't there building safety guidelines that enforce such systems in public buildings and buildings that hold facilities that provide services, rooms or such to other people (Hotels, restaurants, doctors offices etc.)
@@annasstorybox7906 Sorry, I use manual and mechanical interchangeably. I feel the same way about powdered windows being the standard on cars nowadays.
As far as I am aware, regardless of the locking system, all doors are required to be impossible to lock from inside the room, simply for safety. Same goes for any building, public or private.
Idk if it'll stick but I somehow double liked your comment!? I liked it and then clicked on it to see if there were any comments on it and the thumb turned white but the number stayed the new number. So I backed out and it was still white so I clicked it again and it stuck at the new number!
@@KitsunetheWolfdog Probably someone else liked, then after you hit like again it refreshed/updated to reflect the new total, I really doubt it was some crazy glitch in the system.
@@vgamesx1 I would've thought so too except the thumb changed back to white and it let me click again turning black for a 2nd time. Normally when I click on the comment it'll show the new total and when I click back it'll show the new updated total. Thats not what happened this time...
The jerk in the last story is probably the kind of guy who flirts aggressively with female clerks/service workers and won't take "Down, boy, I'm working here" for an answer, or worse still, gets in their personal space, trying to accidentally-on purpose brush up against their bodies. Source: Female service worker with twenty years of experience, including dealing with guys like this.
Yea... Let one of these guys try that stunt on a server at Oktoberfest or just a large Biergarten restaurant. The servers there spend their days carrying around countless one liter mugs. That said, they will automatically have some serious strength. One solid whack by one of these women would teach them, leave a nice mark or even knock them off their feet. And I do seriously believe that these servers would accually stand their ground against harassment fiercely.
As a straight Christian male, I can't agree with this more! It's not our job to judge others. The Golden rule in the Bible is "do onto other as you'd have them do onto you." In other words treat people how you want to be treated!
If he really get that triggered by being in Miami by a gay guy then he sure hell have a huge problem in Fort Lauderdale more specifically in Wilton Manors
The worst day ever story: this is legitimately how police in the US now handle people with mental illness / homeless. They just don't care. I also work in the hotel industry and this is honestly every interaction I have had with police in a nutshell. Police are spread so thin that unless they have actually caused bodily harm your issue isn't a priority. I've actually had a known violent drunk cause trouble, then police refuse to trespass him. Also had a suicidal woman get taken away and come to find out she waltzed out of the hospital they took her to, she had also tried to abduct a child recently. Mental health care is still largely absent in the US. We need entirely new branches of civil servants to deal with these things so police can focus on crime. As for all the technical issues, that is pretty common also. Most hotel owners are cheap to a point they won't replace something until it totally fails. I'm talking 30-40 year old elevators for which all repairmen have died of old age, computers from the 2000s with your credit card info on, door locks that use tech from the 90s. (Google hotel key spoofing).
I work in a Hotel and i can confirm. Our computers are literally running on windows XP and constantly crash, the elevator is a deathtrap the sensors work only when they want to and i'm sure one day the doors crush something other than bags. We are a 4 star hotel and the rooms are beautiful but if you look below the nicely renovated surface it's still the same hotel from 1970 and the owner doesn't care at all that we work with crappy unreliable equipment.
@@pebbleshmebble8142 True statement made in the comment or the title? Because the veteran may have never even harmed anyone in his entire military career and just saw some really messed up stuff.
He didn't bad mouth the veteran though. He only titled it as imagine having a really really really bad day at work I honestly couldn't even believe the story either but shut after a day like that id some 5 bowls
@@justsomecarrotheredontmind8434 , and you are not for WHAT reason again? Also, giving your own comment an up vote is the epitome of lame, desperate, attention whoring, and pathetic in your life.
the second story was SUCH an emotional rollercoaster. i seriously was pacing around my room during it wondering how in the world this could ever happen... i feel for that worker.
Hey Rslash, I think it's inappropriate it use "murderer" for a veteran who has having a PTSD attack. I get you need a catchy title but that's a bit of bad taste.
It's perfectly appropriate to use the term "murderer" for someone who was a paid killer for a murderous regime. My sympathies if he was already mentally ill before he enlisted, but to join an organisation of sound mind, that murders civilians, does in my book make one a murderer.
@@Slavir_Nabru Way to paint the world with a roller. Plenty of people enter the military to escape difficult financial or personal situations, it's not just hoplophile racists, not all soldiers go on overseas missions, not all missions end up killing civilians. You know, nuance, that thing you can see between black and white when you don't resort to extremist positions.
See, this is one of the reasons that, even as a queer person, I don't feel too upset by companies' tendency to go Pride Crazy for the month of june and then forget about us. Aside from the fact it's nice to see it IS accepted enough to be commercial, the sight of homophobic asswipes losing their s*** on facebook because target dared to have a rainbow logo, while promising to NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN ON PAIN OF DEATH is just... really funny, okay? XD
It really is. Maybe one day they’ll run out of stores to shop at and flee into the forests to live with the bears… then they’ll freak out then they learn the other meaning of “bear”, and have to move again.
@@RiveroftheWither this is obviously a very serious issue, however I found a very poignant message during June saying that although this is all corporate nonsense, if the rainbow flags and mugs and logo changes make one closeted or out queer person feel a little better on a day where they have been disrespected for their existence as a queer person, it is worth it. I’m not saying it is a problem as it most definitely is, but it is a problem that we can afford to fix at a later date when people aren’t being kicked out of their houses or disowned by family for being queer. No hate meant by this comment btw, I know that it can be hard to interpret through text.
I also don't mind corporations just caring about pride for a month. What is actually ridiculous is the London Pride Parade where individual gays are banned from joining it unless you're a part of an organization or those companies.
Why did you call that story "trapped in an elevator with a MURDERER"?? That's really click-baity and its not even true from the sound of it. He was a military guy with PTSD, never mentioned a murder. Please stop using untrue statements like that to get people in here.
I find clickbait frustrating too, especially when some people are making videos about Amber Heard and the title making us believe that she is indeed fired from WB for what she did, even though it's eventually never stated upright in the actual video so we don't know whether or not it has or is gonna happen (#>_< ). I think the clickbait in this video has more to do with the youtube algorithm, because I've only ever seen RSlash give a more exxagerated title like two or three times out of a year's worth of videos. At least I haven't noticed as many. But I fully understand the frustration! ^^'
My mom worked as a front desk clerk for 15 years, she had some stories, but none like THIS. DEAR LORD!! So glad OP lived!! I do need to forward this to my mom though, she may have some good stories to tell 😂
Holy sh*t. HOLY. SH*T. I could NOT last through a day like that poor poor hotel work staff. HOLY. SH*T. Major props to the OP to being able to last as long as they did.
I remember one time when I used to work as a housekeeper, I came into work like 5 minutes late. I went in the kitchen and clocked in, walked to the housekeeping closet and when I opened the door, two other housekeepers were standing inside. They pulled me in immediately, closed the door and said that some guy was walking around screaming anout something. I was spooked but about 10 minutes later, the front desk guy came on the radio and said it was all clear. So glad I don't work there anymore. I have a hundred horror stories from that place...
The one with the vet, I gotta agree with rslash, maybe it's exaggerated to some degree, but with how our country shamefully takes care of uts veterans I find this 100% believable.
10:40 Don't underestimate the power of a suddenly inspired slightly insane writer, they can make up shit that you wouldn't believe AND write it so well you actually start to believe that he just couldn't have made it up.
Hey rSlash, a military veteran suffering a severe bout of traumatic PTSD shutdowns is NOT ‘a murderer’, PLEASE change that clickbait title. It’s not okay.
@@anomalou Those same people whose lives were taken in war were actively trying to take the other side's lives. Because, you know, war is war. People get killed in war. Murder, however, is not anywhere near the same.
I find it ironic that I’m listening to this as I’m working at my hotel as a night auditor. Understanding the pain what that person went through. Because sometimes there’s days like that.
20 years a firefighter. Worst day at work. House burns down with family inside, 3 kids. I've know guys with worse days. I won't even talk about the vets I know and what they would call a bad day. It's all about perspective.
I feel like you calling a veteran suffering from a PTSD episode who didn't murder anyone a murderer pretty fucking gross, not to mention disingenuous. Shame on you.
Hearing how lazily the PTSD guy was handled by police to the point where more than one crazy incident wasn't enough of a concern to them, reminded me of that university student who got let off with a warning despite having killed his own grandparents with his bare hands because "he wanted to know what killing someone felt like", only for the police to realise they probably should've locked him up in the first place, after they heard that that same psycho student went on to murdering 11 girls and young women! There's a red flag, and then there's Jupiter's GREAT FRICKING RED SPOT!
i called the holiday inn in hillsboro NC telling them we'd be extremelely late or no show (problems), the next day calling the owner of the franchise i appologize. he said no problem and would give us a non-pet room, as he had run out of reservations, since our cat, over many years, had never damaged or soiled rooms we stayed in. hotel is in a quiet, lovely location. i recommend for that and the treatment by him. all good folks.
Reminds me of this one crazy teacher lady verbally attacking me over the fact that I couldn’t put more than one copy of a book on hold for her. From how she was acting, it felt like she was trying to make a political statement, mentioning that it was a book she chose for the class to read and not a part of an official lesson plan, so the school said she had to provide books for the students herself. I think the book was about loving your skin color and YA, so I was more than eager to help. However, she seemed to be already upset first thing on a Saturday morning, so I didn’t bother with chitchat and started searching the catalog quickly. I hold teachers in very high regard, so I did what I could. When I figured out the hold limitations (was never told there was such a limit), she lost her fucking mind. Cue me, a small white passing woman, cowering and on the verge of a panic attack at 8 am on a Saturday, while I got accused of being racist. All over some fucking free books. It wasn’t until someone from the desk upstairs heard the yelling and came down to see what was going on. The teacher angrily explained that I “was refusing to help” her. I was then scoffed at and was scolded for not directing them to the book club area. Note: the “book club area” was that coworker’s office bookshelf. An office where only her chair faced said bookshelf. The teacher lady was literally the first person to walk in the door that morning, so I got to spend the rest of the day berating myself for not being good enough to be employable and terrified that I’d get fired. I still got fired for (unrelated) shady reasons a year or so later. Fuck libraries, and fuck front desk jobs. You couldn’t pay me to work that county again.
I worked as a night audit at the front desk for a few years. Loved that job. It was an 11pm to 7am shift. You check some late arrivals in at the start, and begin checking early risers out at the end, but other than that, you've got the whole quiet hotel to yourself. Most of the time. One time, my coworker and I are finished with the night's work and just hanging out when a guest wanders into the lobby and sits. Not unusual. Some people just can't sleep all night. I start getting a weird feeling, so I glance up to pretend I'm glancing randomly around the room. The guest is staring right at me. I look back down at the book I'm reading for a moment, shifting after a few seconds so my head is now lower than the desk. I look at my coworker, who is already staring at me with wide eyes. She'd noticed it before I had and is worried. We wait a few moments before I make like I'm going into the back room for something. I take the radio with me and ask the security guy to come to the lobby. After he comes into the back room, I tell him I'm going to work downstairs in the locked office the rest of the night. So, I head out and start picking up our paperwork, and I head down the stairs. As soon as I'm out of sight of the lobby, I hurry to the office, unlock the door and close it behind me. A few Minutes later, they call me on the phone and say the guy had tried to follow me but couldn't find me so went back to his room. Yep, staying down here the rest of the night.
"This story is so wild that I have to believe, surely this isn't real, right? But then, at the same time, it's so bizarre that, yeah, OP, how could you make this up? Because if you're trying to make up a believable lie, then why would you come up with such an unbelievable story?" You've just described the Big Lie technique used by dictatorships.
I believe it. I used to work at a gas station and a fast food restaurant where some absolutely strange things happened because we were in a bad part of town. Specifically when i worked at the fast food restaurant a naked man that was only wearing socks came in stole 2 handfuls of condiments then ran out.
Yeah, as someone who works for a credit card company that first story made me laugh. (At the customer; not OP) What we do is essentially say "you don't have to pay this while we investigate" and don't charge interest during that period as well. If it turns out they are legitimate charges, we put that back in the card and start charging interest. We don't automatically take you're word for it through, we actually look into it and investigate what happened.
Even if every story you read is a fabrication it doesn't matter, we are listening for entertaining. Same when you watch TV shows, even though it isn't real you can sympathize and relate to the characters
the second story was my daily struggle working the front desk at a hotel. People talk about working as a sever being the worst have never seen the working end of the front desk 😅
Did I blink and miss the part where the Vet with PTSD murdered someone? Rslash that was a dick move. Murdering someone and killing someone as a member of military whilst at war are different situations, if you kill unarmed civilians in a warzone then oddly enough you do get charged for that because it's murder. Kill someone who's trying to kill you or others, not murder. It's not that hard!
Crazy story. I a 13(m) have a smaller brother who is 10. We went to a fancy hotel in a fancy place. This was our second year at the same hotel. We went a second time because is a great place and we met loads of great people the first year. The main function that me and my brother enjoyed was the kids club. We went every night for the endurance for the whole trip and The same guy ran the kids club both years and we thought he was great. Some days he would privately take me and my brother to the sister hotel and just let us play table tennis with him (my brother was a fanatic). He was better than us so when we lost we didn’t mind. Fast forward 3 weeks after the holiday and my mate ( a guy who I go to school with who we saw consistently on the holiday) comes up to me and tell me this guy ,who we haddone loads with us on the holiday, killed his fucking finance. He genuinely beat her to death over a gambling addiction and he was now on the run, he handed himself in 3 days later. I now have trust issues age 14. I know bad punctuation but tbh idc and if it doesn’t make sense just ask il fill in any details.
Guys.... Please just consider the man in the hoodie may just have PTSD and had a flashback of sorts when he attacked the lady. If that's the case it make perfect sense the man was chanting a calming-method like his therapist told him to when triggered, ie the elevator stopping. That doesn't make him a killer. Edit: okay nvm Rslash just explained that
