Weirdly Preachy Instagram Comics 

“Dick Clown” is probably the most frightening combination of two words that can be strung together.

“Ah, a racist!” And “Ah, a sexist!” Has amazing energy

As the child of a teacher I can confirm that bringing a change of shoes is a thing many teachers actually do and it's part of teacher culture

"Ride the velcro wall" sounds like a euphemism for something lol

“Let me be frank,” No. You can only be Jarvis.

Jarvis don’t put that beard on your face! It could be related to gangs or drugs like marijuana

These comics are basically if Dhar Mann decided to go into literature

Him calling racism, sexism, and homophobia the trifecta was the highlight of the video for me lmfao

“Dick Clown didn’t ask for this” is the single most bizarre phrase I have ever heard.

This is just r/entitledparents but comics

“Caught red handed” No, no, no Jarvis Caught dolphin backed

The homophobic is so plausible. reminds me of the call I had a literally a week ago at the store I work at. We have different departments but for the most part we answer anything. I answer and the man asks for “the guitar guy”. I told him we don’t have anyone in specifically for guitars and said something along the lines of “but I could be your guitar guy, how can I help you?” For some reason that set him on a weird transphobic/sexist rant saying I couldn’t be a guitar guy and I sound like a woman and how he is tired of women wanting to be men and vice versa. I put him on hold and called my boss over because he was closest to me and said “some douche on line 1 for you” and walked away. All that for the word “guy”

That Hawaii one is totally plausible though. Source: I was born and raised in Hawaii, and have worked in the tourism industry in Hawaii. I've met at least 2 dozen people who either, by conversing with them, realized they either 1. didn't know Hawaii is part of Ameica, 2. FORGOT Hawaii is part of America. Yes, we accept US dollars. Yes, we have wireless internet. No, you do not need your US passport to come here. No, we don't all know how to surf and do hula. Oh, no you’re right...yes, in fact we do communicate via coconut, how did you know!? And ok since you insist that you know better than me, a local, then I guess we do live in grass shacks. Sure. When people come to Hawaii, they just turn off their brains as soon as they land, I swear...

Honestly, I've seen someone post about someone's"weed flag" saying, 'we get it, you smoke weed.' PLOT TWIST: It was a Canadian flag. So yeah, people can be that stupid.

"why is it always the man in the wrong in your comics" How many Karen posts did we see prior to that comment

I used to browse Not Always Right occasionally and even posted once; let me tell you, the editors really love to change your story. They seem to add in these "everyone clapped" moments or inflammatory details that will get the story more attention. It makes the stories more interesting I suppose, but I would rather the unedited versions. Every now and again you see the authors complaining about the changes in the comments. It's wild.

If you’re an adult working at an elementary school you should always have a second pair of shoes. Especially lower grades where literal shit can happen.

“This website is from... 2013” “Actually this story is from 2011” _narrator_ *he was not always right*

To be honest, when I worked at tech support all of my female co-workers had the "transfer me to a tech support" at least once a day while it only happened with me once in 2 years, and there were actually some cases of people (not only men, but the majority was men) asked to be transfered to a male tech support.

Ngl "can you move the satellite" sounds exactly like a question I'd get from one of my customers when I worked in tech retail. As does a dude freaking out over the term "male-to-male". You'd be very surprised.

Those comics is basically when I imagine myself winning a fake argument in the shower.

As someone who worked in retail, I firmly believe that some people are actually this stupid. Yes, these sound ridiculous. But these kind of situations actually do happen

I remember reading that exact “ivy tattoo” transcript on ifunny back in 2012 lmao

I've had a lot of weird/bad customers in my life, mostly in small towns, but there's one story that stands out. I was working at Walmart putting out picks when this thin older white lady with glasses came up to me. She wanted to know where the plain Ruffle chips were, so I took her to the place where all of the Pepsico-owned chips sat. She stated that she needed 1 normal sized bag of plain Ruffles. We had regular sized bags of the bacon & ranch flavour, a dill pickle one, and buffalo wings, but no plain Ruffles. Always trying to turn no's into maybes, I pointed out the 6 pack of snack-sized bags of regular Ruffles, she was not having it. That's when out of the corner of my eyes I spotted a party size bag; That was a bag that was 1.5x the size of a normal bag. I picked it up and said, "Here's something!" I thought I'd found the perfect substitution, I was getting ready to pat myself on the back then, the woman clutched her purse in a sort of self-hug, she angrily exhaled and squeaked "I'M NOT ALLOWED TO BUY THAT! I'm not having a party!" I calmly said "No, no, it's not exclusively for parties, it's just 1.5 times the size of a normal bag...." and she stormed off, assuring me that my manager will hear about this. What did this woman think would happen? Are the secret police gonna knock down her door and demand proof that she's having a party?

Web comics are like the comedians on vine. Some are funny, some are annoying and some are just fake

The way Jarvis talks sounds like he begins his sentences without knowing how they would end but is surprisingly content with how it came out.

“They’re in Hawaii, which is located in the United States...” They probably shouldn’t be, though. We literally kidnapped their queen and then held her in the states to force them to become a state.

"Hawaii is in America." Queen Liliuokalani: *are you sure about that?*

Tbh, I asked one of my American friend if she travelled outside the US and she said “yes, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon” so Yeah

There is honestly people who think New Mexico is a part of Mexico.

"some of my favorite stories are fictional stories, like, uh,,, hamilton," *who's gonna tell him*

I just saw True Stories advertising a video called, "My Son Is A Simp." TF

I've literally had the "You can't be tech support, you're a woman" conversation before. There are unfortunately people like that.

I absolutely hate the facial expressions in these

"How do people not know Hawaii's a state" 2008 era Obama birtherists: Am I a joke to you?

"That'll be $20" "Do you take American money?" I know that several other countries also call their currency dollars, but this interaction is just so dumb.

what child over the age of 5 doesn’t know what a tattoo is ? like did all these kids never get any temporary tattoos or have parents with tattoos ?

Me: is about to put some food in my mouth Jarvis: It cOuld Be A GUn!!!! me: *looking down at the half-eaten gun in my hands*

As someone from New Mexico, the Hawaii one is totally plausible. I've been told that I speak English really well for a Mexican, asked if I had a green card, and had internet orders cancelled because "we don't ship internationally." And this is a pretty common experience. New Mexico magazine has a regular feature called "One of our 50 is Missing" about this. Some Americans really don't know that much about their country.

7:50 Spanish and Hawaiian aren't even related languages. Spanish is Indo-European with Arabic (Afro-Asiatic) Influence, and Hawaiian is Austronesian. So its not like confusing Spanish-Portugese, or Spanish-Aragonese, she is just next level ignorant. Just hears foreign language and thinks Spanish.

Me when anything mildly inconvenient happens: "Dick clown didn't ask for this!"

I’m still earlier than Doofenshmirtz’s parents to his own birth

“I have the local accent and cultural awareness” sounds like it could have been lifted directly from a cover letter I wrote for a firm in a different country when I was a freshman in college

When he said “don’t put that food in your mouth”, I was about to eat an apple slice with a dead fly on it. Thanks, Jarvis!

For the Hawaii story, coming from someone who lives in Hawaii -you’d be surprised how stupid some people are. I can definitely see this happening.

The name “not always right” comes from the phrase “the customer is always right”, which is why a lot of the stories are about complaining about customers.

as a former teacher with tattoos, the first part of the teacher story is super believable. kids love touching tattoos. the rest is for sure bullshit, never have I ever had anyone say anything remotely close to that in all my years of having tattoos lmao

Thanks Jarvis, I was Indeed eating a gun instead of my Doritos.

When people criticize these stories for being a little too congratulatory to the writers, I get that and agree. But then people are like, "no one would be THAT stupid!" and that's how I know the people who have never worked the service industry. Sorry man, people 100% are that stupid, pretty much constantly if you work for the public. (thank God I don't work with the public anymore)

I can't stop laughing at the matched pair of inflections for "oh, a racist" and "ah, a sexist!"

I'm from Alaska, and I worked as the manager of a tourist shop for like 5 seasons, and I literally cannot even count all the people who asked if we accept American money. So many people literally thought Alaska was part of Canada Lots of those same people would also chase bear cubs trying to get photos

Jarvis: Let me be Frank Frank: Thank you Raycon for supporting this video

Not always right sounds like a Facebook mom group complaining about their kids.

The comics are cringey, but as someone who has worked in service for many years, I believe every single one of these narratives. In no way do they even feel far fetched to me.

I frequent the Not Always Right website! They don’t all have “gotcha” endings, those are just the ones they seem to like turning into comics. The editing staff also often mess with the original submitter’s wording for some reason. (Sometimes the person who submitted the story will pop into the comments and say what was changed)

3:37 as someone who works with children, I have an explanation for why “it just feels like skin” isn’t weird! Kids can see tattoos as something like an injury or illness and explaining it beforehand helps them make the mental connection of tattoos not being something odd. Idk why they chose to have it be a foot tat tho.

*me taking a huge bite of noodles* Jarvis: “DONT... put that food in your mouth” me: 👁👄👁

The tech support lady was talking to the CEO of sexism.

The site Not Always Right was for stories about retail workers and other people who deal with nightmare customers and clients. I used to read it about 12 years ago ago. It’s hit or miss but it has some good ones. There was a huge trend for this kind of stuff, with blogs and books like Waiter Rant and Retail Hell and Kitchen Confidential and tons of other profession-specific “exposés”, even fictional but heavily based on true stories, like the Devil Wears Prada and the Nanny Diaries, which rang VERY TRUE from my own experience! We know there are horrible entitled people in the world, and they all have to interact with service people, which inevitably makes for anecdotal gold! I think of it the precursor to the video compilations of “public freak outs” and “Karens”, from the days before everyone could record everything. I believe many of them are wish fulfillment, or exaggerated “l’esprit d’escalier” accounts based on a true event, but I believe many of them are also 100% true. Because the videos we see now show what’s possible, which is everything.

The movie at 20:17 is Star Trek: the Wrath of Khan. Its the scene where Kirk screams "KHAAAAAN"

Lots kids are playing Fortnite and hopping on velcro walls during quarantine.

“Should I bleep “porn”?” *gets no ads on the video* I think that’s a yes

10:50 If she doesnt care if her son´s the last one, why doesnt she just add him to the kids waiting? And why would you deny her, just warn her that time might run out before her son gets a ride. She shouldnt have said that like 2 pages in, thats the first thing she should have said.

Haven't been to Not Always Right in years! I did submit a story that got published back in 2009 or 2010. I used to work in a used bookstore and there were a lot of weird or annoying customer, but this one didn't seem to understand the principle of a bookstore that sold used books. He wanted books in a series but we didn't have one of the volumes. He asked when we'd have it. I explained we got books when people came in and sold them. He said he perfectly understood that, but wanted to know when someone would be in to sell their copy. It was definitely weirder than usual. We did have a program in place when you could let us know you wanted a specific book and we'd call if we got it, but he didn't even want to register for that so he just left. Anyway, I don't know about any of the other stories but from what I recall, my story was published exactly how I submitted it. Of course, users may submit anyone and embellish their stories. Nowadays I guess r/talesfromretail is the equivalent. I know the NotAlways websites had more versions (NotAlwaysRomantic, NotAlwaysRelated, stuff like that) but NotAlwaysRight was the original one, for stories of customers being idiots.

Funny thing about the sexist one...actually happened to me at my first job at a chain-style gym. I was fairly new so I could only answer basic questions so far. This guy calls and I pick up the phone (and I honestly can't remember what he was asking for) but I knew I couldn't answer his question so I told him to wait on hold while I got my supervisor (a fellow woman) and he refused to speak to her... just straight up told her that he was done talking to women and wanted to speak to a man. So we proceeded to get the only man at the front office to take this call and give the guy the EXACT same answer my supervisor already gave. So...it's possible Fun side note: guy would have been out of luck if he had called a week earlier, the guy he spoke with was our new boss in training and had just started....our old boss was female

As someone who lives in new mexico, I absolutely believe the Hawaii story, I've had people visit and legit think they were in mexico, some people are just that stupid

I don't know, customers can get pretty weird and demanding. A while back I was working as an online grocery picker for Walmart (like one of those people who pushes around a giant cart of baskets and does the shopping for the online orders). I'd been there for a couple months. A girl with the same job who'd been hired that week came over with an irate older lady in tow and said "Hey, she has a question, can you help her?" I figured she wanted to know the location of something or when something would be in stock. Turns out she had a a coupon for a free turkey, but there was a recall and it was close to Thanksgiving so we were out of stock of the brand on the coupon, so she wanted to know if she could get a free turkey of another brand. I have no idea why she thought a random teenager pulling stuff off shelves would know the answer to that. I directed her to the customer service desk, but she kept asking (3-4 times, I kept trying to walk away and she followed me) if I couldn't just help her myself. Uh, no, lady, this machine I'm holding literally just tells me what kind of crackers to take off the shelf next. I have no power over prices. I'm judged on my performance/pick rate (how many items I collect in an hour, no matter how many customers ask for help, the timer is still running) so please let me get back to work. So yeah, people are weirdly demanding of service industry people. Also, can you tell this story isn't fake, bc I didn't have a witty final remark, I didn't "own" her, the resolution is that eventually she walked off huffily and presumably found a manager to bother.

I did tech support for AOL back in the day. It was the woooooorst. Lol! I said, "okay, so let's close all windows." They said, "but it's nice outside." Omg and also, open your cdrom and they were like, "oh, you mean the drink holder?" Hahahaha!

I'm sorry to dissapoint you, my teacher put the dvd in upside down because 'the other side was too scratched-' yes, she was serious--

“Don’t put that food in your mouth, it could be a gun” *jojo’s bizarre adventure intensifies*

Honestly these seem more like what people thought of reliving the argument in the shower later rather than the actual argument

To be fair, it is AWESOME when you get to tell someone who's trying to be argumentative that you ARE the manager.

"Can I touch it?" "Sure, it just feels like skin." "FBI, OPEN UP!!!!"

The Hawaii one is actually totally believable. I've had interactions with tourists like this.

“That clown is my boss” is the most relatable part of that comic.

I like how the weird thing about the tattoo story is that she has a tattoo and not that she lets the kids touch it.

"Most of these stories are about customer." Basically all of them are. Not Always Right is a parody of "The customer is always right" but yeah, at least half the stories are very self congratulatory.

These comics remind me of those “Anonymous Asexual” comics.

technically, the hawaiian karen was right when she said she flew in from America, as thats the name of the continent housing the USA

I came back to rewatch this vid cause someone responded to an old comment I made. I wanted to add, from personal experience, the thing where some weirdy needs help with his internet but won't talk to a woman is a real thing that still happens. One time I literally had a guy YELL at me that he needed a man and wouldn't talk to me. I tried to explain that the only thing I could do is send him back to the queue to wait for another 30+ min since I had no means to transfer him to a direct person, and he wouldn't even hear me out, he just insisted, so back into the queue he went. More often, though, it was just a subtle attitude of "you probably don't know what you're talking about." Lord I am so glad I don't do phone IT anymore.

“People that don’t exist” oh I’m sure that they do exist somewhere out there...I’ve dealt with some seriously incompetent people

does anybody else hate the facial expressions in these comics, specifcally how the lips are drawn? update: i scrolled thru the page myself and found a genuinely horrible comic that i'm surprised wasn't in the video. basically a customer asks for a non-fat shake, calls the barista fat, so the barista adds tons of extra stuff to the shale to make it >4,000 calories. it's almost certainly fake, sure, but tampering with an order is still an appalling thing to endorse.

I lived in Alaska for awhile. People there genuinely didn’t know they were part of the US. I was asked what kind of money the us has. Smh

“Putting sound in my ears” is how I will refer to using headphones from now on.

I think the name “not always right” comes from the phrase “the customer is always right” and the stories are mostly complaining about customers

Is that a flower on your shirt? That could be a drug!

I mean, these comics seem like they're just for the people working in retail or with customers of any kind. You kind of need this sort of content to get through the days

Reminder that most native Hawaiians consider Hawaii its own country not a state of America since it was forcibly taken from their monarchs

The whole gang marijuana thing reminded me of when I was messing around with pencils and somebody asked what I was doing and I said “These are gang pencils respect the drip” and the teacher made me sit out for the rest of the time because I was “Talking about gang activities”

The “I need to talk to a man” actually happened to my mum! She was the manager and the only man high up was CEO

Not gonna lie, I knew a few people who legitimately thought Hawai'i had its own currency system (Hawai'ian Dollars). The Hawaii Karen story sounds exactly like one of the people I know, lol.

...tbf the tech support one at 4am is something I’ve seen before. When our agents knew they were in the right we would make up some BS about how no, I can’t connect you to anyone else, no, my program specialists aren’t available, you have to listen to what I say. I also got told that I was stupid and that having women on the phone was stupid and I threw my headset down and left :)

Jarvis is watching this like he was never blindfolded and dropped into hawaii.

i know these stories have been ~embellished~ but as a person who works in retail, I think Jarvis underestimates the pure stupidity of the general public.

No joke, customers legitimately tell me about once a week that I can’t help them and they need one of my male coworkers to assist them. This doesn’t just happen when I offer to help load a lawn mower in their car, but even sometimes just looking up parts or answering questions. (I work in the lawn mower industry, which is heavily male dominated)

People being confused about Hawaii is way more common than you’d think. Try asking someone for a Hawaiian dollar and see how they react 😂

When I worked at a bank, I cannot tell you how many times I heard "I want to talk to a man, sweetie". And the funny thing is, our department was staffed by all women, save for 1 guy who worked part time in the file room.

Don’t worry Jarvis, Hamilton is historical fiction, so you’re good.

As a best buy employee, the DVD scene is hilariously accurate. Had an older lady come in very very angry that her portable charger didn't work. She asked for a manager, yelled at him, demanded an email for corporate. Eventually while fidgeting with it I pressed the power button and it turned on. She raised hell and she didn't even turn it on.

I once talked to someone who didn’t know alaska was part of america... so, sadly, I can understand some lady not knowing about Hawaii being a part of the US...
