Even if we didn't have the creepy backstory, in a vacuum, reporting "hostile work environment" because of a minor disagreement about tea is completely unhinged.
Lot of guys believe that whoever complains to HR first gets preferential treatment (due to getting their narrative out first or whatever), so he probably felt he was being proactive. Doesn't really work if you are actively harassing the person you report.
it's so funny how the doughnut guy was like "Yeah who cares breakfast isn't important I don't eat it " then proceeded to eat 4 entire doughnuts for breakfast lmao
I mean if you have problem with weight skipping breakfast is the best thing you can do. But first of all how does him not eating breakfast have anything to do with the pregnant lady? And second of all, exactly. If you don't eat/need breakfast than you could have left the two fucking doughnuts alone. The fact that he ate 4 doughnuts in the span of 30 minutes is still baffling to me. Like at the start of the story I though he would say we had doughnuts so I ate two instead of one, which is understandable. BUT YOU EAT FUCKING 4 DOUGHNUTS INSTEAD OF 2? Not to mention the doughnuts were clearly specifically counted. Like man at least wait idk maybe an hour?
@@LordKeram exactly, even at HOME I feel bad for eating the last/ the most portions of something. Doing that at work with doughnuts you didn't even pay or ask anyone about? So selfish
He may not recognize the fact that he DID eat breakfast because it wasn't eggs toast and bacon or cereal or something, but eating 4 donuts in the morning is technically your breakfast, no, not a good one mind you, but that IS breakfast, I'm definitely being harsh, but like, it feels like he's just denying it because I don't think most people would want to say they ate donuts for breakfast or he's quirky and has to feel cool for not doing what the majority does, because "I don't even eat breakfast, why does it matter". The definition of breakfast is the word itself, break fast, breaking a fast, the first meal after sleeping, technically being a fast from when you ate dinner the night before.
my dad was literally dying during the birth of my sister, and he made them wheel him from the emergency room to see my mom and sister, before going unconscious and having to be wheeled back to the emergency room. to hear that this dougebag doesnt want to be there for such an important moment is an outrage.
I was there for all my 3 kids births and i would not have missed that for anything but i did not take off from work BEFORE the baby was born. Why would you?
@@David-cc8xe i would say baby being born, like the week before would be best to take off (the body is ramping up) and then definitely after for as long as possible. the side effects of birth last for around 2 years including spinal, ribcage, and more. directly after birth you are peeing yourself, can't wipe yourself after pooping and leak.
@herb_rolls yeah i was just talking with my wife, wich we had 3 kids together and she did not need me a week before. Her mother even asked her to come over before they were born and she did not want anybody there. She was doing fine. All 3 births lasted max 3 hours, did not even tear once. I took 6 weeks off after each off them to be there for her and to be with my babies. And i was getting up at night to let her sleep. She did not need me to be there a week before. And after 3 kids i think we know what we are talking about thank you very much
@@David-cc8xe To help out your partner and support them? The last month of pregnancy is crazy difficult and she could have been feeling scared and needed support from him. Also, it sounds like she was afraid of going into labor and him not leaving work to be there.....
@@David-cc8xe I don't really believe your post because it's very rare to have a birth that quickly, especially for the first one. I'm concerned you're talking about the ACTIVE labor part where she is pushing and 3 hours for that part is A LOT.
The “workplace harassment” guy was literally listening to her conversations and then interrogating her about them. She could have easily gone to HR first!
@DJKuroh to be fair though, assuming he wasn't trying to do anything other than be a good coworker and make her feel comfortable, I can understand why he would go to HR if she was telling people he was harassing her. That's a serious accusation and maybe HR could mediate, at least facilitate a conversation so they could find a resolution
@BertFromOhio there might not be much they could do. He knew she didnt like talking to him and yet still kept this up for a YEAR. It takes about 5 minutes to know someone isnt vibing with you. Its the fact he kept inserting himself that seems a bit obsessive. Also he didnt report her for that. He reported her for not responding nicer to his conversation attempts. Dude couldnt move on from 1 person not wanting to be his friend. Childish.
I literally went into labor 4 days ago, and my boyfriend took off as long as I was in the hospital. We are actually strapped for money but he knew I would need him and he wanted to be there for me and his son. I can’t imagine what it is like to have more loyalty towards your job than your pregnant wife and future twins. Just listening to that story makes me want to cry bc labor is hard for EVERYONE and she’s having multiples
It’s a bit weird how addictive these reddit videos are. I mean, there’s a ton of channels that read stories from Reddit but this series hits that perfect spot for me.
As someone who regularly listens to reddit stories while I do chores and clean, this is only one that makes me want to stop and just listen. Plus you get actual facial reactions instead of just a generic read along.
You get to judge idiots and assholes with surrogate “friends” whose background and personality you’re familiar with while they give smart and funny commentary. Classic brain off easy gratification while getting to feel superior. One of the best ideas they’ve had in awhile and so cheap and easy to do.
The other point to being by their side is that even though it's not very likely nowadays but if there are complications and either she or the baby passes away during birth like what the hell no amount of how fast you wanna get there is going to matter if it already happened. My older sister and her now ex husband had a stillborn several years back and I can't even imagine how painful that would have been for her to have to go through that by herself without her husband there.
I don't remember my birth father being there but I know I was upside down and backwards with the umbilical cord around my throat so they had to do a c-section. I don't know if he was there but I really hope my mom had some kind of support from loved ones
The "i don't eat breakfast" kid is the type of response that will either come from a teenager or from an old person that always has to one up a person's woes lol.
I avoid people like that. " I'm so tired" Them: oh you thinkYOURE tired? I only got four hours of sleep allllll week and I did homework all night on top of sports Like okay, and who decides that? You
@@GuineaParentsEspecially to a pregnant person lmao the gall... I don't care how old you are, my 5 year old niece knows that pregnant women are special and need extra help with things.
@@GuineaParents I feel like the only time this is acceptable is if you're like "oh my god, I understand completely I got such little sleep. We should get coffee" lmao
what's so especially crazy about the pto dad one is that his wife could literally DIE while giving birth and he would just be like "well you see I had to make money" like he could legitimately never see his wife again and he just doesn't give a fuck
Also I imagine the last few weeks/days of pregnancy are hard and having him there to help her and take her to the hospital would be so wonderful for her, but no, ig she will have to do everything herself or rely on her mother and his.
That's three entire thing! He doesn't give a duck about his wife and what she has to go through and what she needs, before and after! Just to make some extra money? That's the dumbest most self centered man I've ever encountered. Makes me so sad. She's in an abusive relationship and needs to leave now!
@@gooodmorning4526yes they are very very hard, especially since q lot of women can develop pre eclampsia a couple weeks before birth and it's super treatable but if you don't notice it and treat it, it's fatal to both the mom and baby! This man makes me so angry. Probably because he reminds me of my dad.....lol
Right?? That guy's argument about wanting to save up money for after the baby is born is immediately nullified by the fact that his boss was going to give him PTO for as long as he needed. So he was going to make the same amount of money whether he was at work or not (unless he took on a bunch of overtime, which it sounds like he wanted to do since he asked for more work). Bottom line, I would've been so angry with my husband if he wanted to make himself so unavailable when we were having our daughter. He was there for the entire process (I had a scheduled induction so none of the time I was in labor was a surprise). The whole thing was largely uneventful until it was time to start pushing, but just knowing my husband was with me no matter what showed me what kind of man he really is.
Those are so funny because mostly they find it and read how much of a jerk they were by literal strangers then tell everyone that didn’t know about the problem about what happened with a bit of embellishment until the full story comes out 😂😂
As a trans woman who is not yet out at work, i would really appreciate if more people understood that people don't want to tell their coworkers literally everything about themselves.
omg yess! lol but truthfully, I wish they had more cross over content, I know Trevor will appear every once in a while on Smosh, but big daddies Rhett and Link need to show their faces around there if Smosh wants any growth on their channels.. lmao kidding but not fully kidding😋 Games and Pit have been hovering around 7.3-74million and its truly not a small number of subs but did they plateau? I think they are making better content than ever before but youtube be playing games with this algo bs
THANK YOU. That is not only normal behavior on her part, it is an admirable quality. Her coworkers are literally mad at her because has a good work/life balance, and that's so weird to me.
The funny thing in the story with the tea is that the coworker does talk to people. Just...people in her department and people who are closer to her age. Not people who can't take the hint to leave her alone.
@@rickyricardo9710 Right? I've done the same thing when creepy dudes I don't know have asked me if I like something, I'll just say no to make them stop. I assume that's what this girl did too.
He literally says in the post that he goes up to her WHILE she's talking to other people in stuff, there's only two dots and he still can't connect them
Pertaining the "I hide my personal life at work" story: I've actually been in deep hiding for a long period of my life. My relatives actively sought out my family to hurt us to a point that when my mum was spotted in the parking lot of her work she got a new car 3 days later(it was a process). I don't use my real name or even my nickname online, I don't list nearby areas to me, I don't have pictures online, my family's names are secrets, my job history is only presented in vague stories offline or on resumes, etc. I'm VERY private and secretive for a very specific reason. While the lady of the story isn't a case like mine I can 100% see why outing someone's private details like that is extremely damaging and can be potentially life threatening. If my relatives had ever found me and my family they would have continued to torture us and kill our animals again and this story really brought trauma back up. Everyone is all "It's weird to be private" without understanding that everyone who's private to that degree has a reason. Hers just happens to be a split life for her mental health. It is odd and absolutely should NEVER be pushed.
Exactly people that private normally have a reason, it’s a full time job of itself to become that private and keep it that way, you are constantly looking over your shoulder and fearful that any information can get out and your life become over. Sometime it can literally be life or death for people
I’ve been having a rough day dealing with coworkers today and decided to search up some Reddit story content about annoying coworkers and found this. This is way better than all those channels that just have this robo voice read out Reddit posts. The cast is also very charming and six minutes in, I’m already laughing my ass off
The worst thing about the coworker harassment story isn’t that he was talking to her and giving compliments. It’s that he said he overheard talking to someone else saying she doesn’t like talking to him and he is stalker-like and then KEPT talking to/stalking her. I’m all for getting to know coworkers. I’ve been good friend with almost all my past coworkers. But if I heard that, I’d immediately go and apologize to her and then leave her alone.
She couldve been more adult about it and told him directly though. They are adults who can hande their own problems. From what we know she never told him she didn't like him at all, so how is he supposed to know? All he saw was a new coworker he wanted to be work friends with. She can't really get mad at him for talking to her to much when she never said anything. I'm not taking his side because what he did was also stupid. I'm just saying that she couldve solved this by simply telling him she didn't want to talk instead of getting hr involved for nothing.
@@paige8453 I mean he is supposed to know because he literally overheard her tell someone else she doesn’t like him and see him as stalker-like. Prior that that, yeah, he wouldn’t have known, so I wouldn’t have blamed him. But he heard her say that and still decided to creep around her. Once he heard her say she didn’t like being around him, even if she said it to another person, he should have apologized or just straight up never talked to her again.
I was like 8 months pregnant when McDonald's discontinued the breakfast bagels, and I literally cried in the drive through. I probably would have cried over the donuts.
When I was pregnant, I drove past a doughnut shop everyday on the way to work. Then I dreamed about cookies and doughnuts but I was trying to be healthy. I've been holding in the tears for a few weeks then one day I told my husband about the dream and started bawling cuz I drive past it everyday and never got any lol. He took me to get a doughnut lol. . They were closed when we got there but my cravings went away the second we left the driveway 😅
the one story about the dad being absent during birth reminds be of how my own father went on a hunting trip while my mom was sick during her pregnancy then called her selfish for asking him not to go. he left his sick pregnant wife alone and my grandma had to come and take care of her. anyway they're divorced now. hope that woman does the same thing and divorce his ass
It makes me wonder if the reason her coworkers are now upset that she is such an ~enigma~ is because they had assumed she had no life to talk about and that’s why she never said anything and when they found out that she had a great life, it became a problem
Idk, I think it’s less that they’re upset she has a life and more them thinking “wait…that’s it?” OP’s life is super normal and the coworkers are probably think “wow you think so little of us you won’t even let us know you’re married with kids?” Like those are BIG things to hide for a long time. OP doesn’t need to share every little thing, but idk OP weirds me out personally
@@SongBird101 i guess, but some folks just prefer to be private and separate work life from home life. It doesn't really matter how you feel if someone at work just doesn't feel comfortable or wanting to talk about THEIR life to you, then that's also their choice to make. If it's so mundane, i think my first thought would be "oh you just don't feel comfortable sharing any of this huh"
Yeah I worked in a place like this before, a school though, where the school was in the middle of nowhere and everyone was mostly miserable about their own personal lives and would like feed on other people's drama. We had a couple of private people due to how nosy these people would get (usually for their own comparison, and they'd latch onto the ones with the most dramatic lives) and they would legit get off on if they "found something out" about the private people or they'd spend free time speculating why they didn't share. Bunch of losers really.
My thing is, she could’ve been doing this for other reasons than just staying private. OP could’ve had a serious stalker who would do anything to get info on her, or someone in her family could’ve as well. You never know what people have gone through/ are dealing with. 🤷🏻♀️ If people want to be private let them be private, it’s not anyone’s business but their own.
I love when Cis het white guys learn new phrases such as “Girl get up” and then proceed to explain them. It’s genuinely some of the funniest shit ever to me, ESPECIALLY when they’re correct. It brings me so much joy and I don’t know why.
@@TheGhostofAbigailMillsand if you do share, they use that info against you socially. Source: i worked in HR and I felt like I was playing a game of thrones/mean girls/survivor crossover.
@@TheGhostofAbigailMills I feel so validated rn, I’ve literally been working through workplace related trauma it got SO ugly. The backstabbing, the gossiping, the favoritism… I spent most of my time after work being stressed about work and crying because it was getting to my head. I feel bad for other people who also have this same experience :( I hope you’re doing well!
Yea exacly what I was thinking. Being 19 doesnt mean u can be a socially unaware asshole. Theres no excuse for being an asshole anywhere over 16 and even that's a stretch. Teens can be nice and think of others. Normalize teens being stupid but kind lmao. Being stupid I can accept as a kid thing but being considerate can be achieved at any age. They key is for ur stupidity to mostly affect you but not the people around u c:
Like yea I got my hair shredded by accident, I was shy to send emails to clarify things to make stuff easier for myself and I forgot to get vaccinated for tetanus. But I never ate the last doughnut and I always thought about not inconveniencing others. And if I die of tetanus thats mostly a Me problem
I wouldn't be upset at her for being upset. I'd understand. But I'd also not be sorry for eating a donut. Pregnant or not pregnant. Considering I waited enough time.
For the story about the coworker that shared info on the op. With some exceptions, Your coworkers are not your friends, you owe them nothing about your personal life if you don’t want to share it. I think because we are so used to people sharing everything about themselves online we get kinda nosy when someone doesn’t open up.
As soon as Melinda was described as the new nosy get-to-know everyone coworker my skin crawled. Better that Melinda was also a woman but still not okay the level that she snooped and announced details of OPs personal life. I’m very private at work because the few women do nothing but gossip and some male coworkers have made subtle advancements at me and not gotten the hint they need to back off with that behavior.
Yeah and OP’s coworkers are also assholes bc they had the nerve to be offended at OP and not the person who went out of their way to basically STALK OP. What if OP was secretive bc they were starting over after leaving an abusive/toxic situation and was trying to ensure their safety?? Not that she owe’s any explanation for her privacy.
@@TawnyRoyalI’m pretty private about my home life when talking with coworkers but thats because I avoid anything that may reveal parts that I like to keep hidden (like having adhd which affects everything I do). My coworkers know I have a cat because he’s my desktop background and that I rock climb since I’ve seen a couple coworkers at the gym before. Other than that, I don’t share much. It’s so messed up that OPs coworkers were more upset with her than her coworker that like stalked her
@@Corrugated_Box I have 2 coworkers who I consider my “work moms”, anything they tell me that other coworkers don’t know immediately goes in my mental vault bc they are very private with their lives; the fact they trusted me enough to tell me means so much to me. I’m an over-sharer and WISH I could just keep shit to myself like they can.
Literally the most relatable thing I've heard. My first job was macdonalds, I cried in the cool room without knowing there was a security camera that my manager was looking at. Died of embarrassment when he talked to me about stress in the workplace
On screen, Shane is the heart of Smosh. I don't think he should ever feel he needs to justify the work he does. Not only is he kind and thoughtful (as shows on these Reddit shows), in improv he's always there to keep things going, he's always got the prompts and the ideas, he's always funny, he's always got something in reserve, he's secretly the grownup in the room. Shane is a rock. He's not even my favourite, but he's essential.
It’s interesting, but I know I would not want my husband in the room. There is nothing they can actually do to help as far as I see it. Useless in this situation. But that’s me
@@V.Hansen. thats thw big difference though, bc she actively wants him there for valid reasons (emotional support, bonding w the baby and her) and he doesn't want to be there for bullshit reasons
The donut one got me. Not so much cos he didn’t think his pregnant coworker was coming, but more that he thought it was acceptable to eat 4 f’ing donuts at a work thing!
Exactly, I mean two is pretty dang good, but on the off chance that I wanted another one, that's what I'd do, get *one* . And even then I'd feel so bad when the lady actually shows, I'd nonstop apologize
As someone who runs a work location with 12-13 people, I will often pick up donuts for everyone (2 dozen). In my experience there’s routinely 6+ left over at the end regardless of brand or variety. I’m way more shocked that all 12 people wanted to eat two donuts than just one person wanting to eat four
I was so surprised that he only waited 30 minutes 😂 One of the funniest things that happened at my old job was that there were two boxes of breakfast foods (breakfast sandwiches, muffins, bagels, juices, milks) left in our lobby. I don’t remember any familiar names on the package (there were lots of other businesses in our building, and I was familiar with some of the names of them from looking for our packages). Anyways, by the time 2 PM hit, my coworkers, and I determined that the food was going to spoil if no one took it. So we did 😂😂😂 we shared it with our coworkers , and our supervisor shook his head at us and continued to bring it up later 😂😂😂😂😂
I mean, that was some thing I was told in college. It’s them doing you a favor, and you need to make sure that they’re able to. Also, they might want to know some thing about the job so that they can tailor their responses to that job.
Agreed. Everyone on my list of potential references has been contacted and given permission to be used as a reference. If for some reason, I believe they might've changed their minds, I ask to make sure, lol
Story One: I had a boyfriend who wouldn’t stop talking about a waitress at the restaurant where he worked. Invited me out with their “group” to the club one night and introduced us. She kept complimenting my looks. I didn’t buy it but I played along. The fawning over her to me didn’t stop after that. I was “the love of his life.” He married her a few years after that. I would never go get a job to work with them like this OP did, but I totally relate to her picking up on that vibe. Especially because my ex had been unfaithful before, too. More than once.
@@zarinamohamed5245 Thank you! But I’m fine! I’m married now and I’m sure she was surprised to find out one “little” thing that I already knew. 😂 We had been together for almost 7 years since we were in high school and ending it was definitely for the best. I finally broke it off with him (he had done quite a few things that crossed the line) and even though it stung to see her parade him after, I quickly realized that that wasn’t what I wanted for the rest of my life and now I’m happily married in a much better situation. 💜
The coworker story is creepy! It seems like OP just wanted her privacy and this is probably very unlikely/extreme, but what if there was a legitimate concern like witness protection or something like a stalker/domestic violence/ dangerous ex history. There could be actual safety reasons she likes to keep things separate. Or perhaps she had a previous issue with an ex-coworker and decided to now leave things separate. You never know what's going on in people's lives and if someone wants their privacy, leave them alone.
Occasionally munching on whatever random veggies might be sitting on a shelf while you reevaluate all of your life decisions that got you to that walk-in freezer
The harassment story is too relatable especially when I was younger , It’s scary af to deal with. I’m just glad HR has her back since it’s not always the case, hopefully they can help keep her safe & possibly fire his ass.
Imagine being the HR rep that guy has to talk to, having this weirdo yelling "She lied about the tea! SHE LIED ABOUT THE TEA!!" like Dennis from It's Always Sunny.
Maybe i need to rewatch this one but i didnt feel like he was the asshole he was trying to be nice and she was being bitchy and talking smack about him to another coworker the internet is always going to side with the women even when their behavior is ridiculous
@@DeadKingV He claimed he was an expert in and loved tea, and then went on to accuse this woman of lying because she said she liked White tea because she had previously said she didn't like Oolong. all this because he mistakenly believes that White tea and Oolong are the same thing. He clearly isn't a tea expert like he claims. this is pretty basic stuff. Not only are they different teas, but they even require different water temperatures, and usually steeping time as well. This guy clearly doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, which puts into question his entire side of the story since he reported her to HR for "lying" about tea, when she clearly wasn't. It really is the Dunning-Kruger-effect in action. Imagine being so confident about a topic that you report someone to HR for correcting a wrong idea you have. No wonder she doesn't want to talk to this guy. He must be insufferable. She obviously has no issue with the other guys at her work place. Just the one who comes in from another department to specifically talk to her, who claims to be an expert in something she's into, but also has subpar knowledge that he is insisting is right. Don’t you get how that could be annoying?
Ya know if my father wasnt there for my birth I wouldnt know now as an adult that I actually died at birth...My mother was so drugged for a c-section that she does'nt remember at all, and my dad was the only who eventually told me they had to resuscitate me. If youre going to be a dad you have the be there...
Holy shit, I thought for a second that I wrote this!! I was also born via C-section, and my mom was all sorts of messed up between the meds and the doctors screwing up. My dad told her that she turned green at one point. She really needed his support, and he was there even though he can’t stand medical stuff
i did not have this realization about myself before i read your comment. i stopped watching smosh a couple years ago but somehow it found its way back into my algorithm with this series lmao
Imagine being the type of person who specifically decides to basically dox you irl because you are such a stalker who uses your coworkers info against them and everyone gets mad at your victim
Also, there are so many reasons people will be super private about their personal life, whether its wanting to keep their personal life and work separate, or being in a scenario where that info could put you in danger, or whatever other reason. No one is obligated to share details about their lives to anyone
I bet the "hostile work environment" guy's coworker was only shy and withdrawn with him because he made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't seem to have trouble socializing with the other guy about tea. But the fact he kept pushing when she was retreating is total creep behavior whether or not he actually had good intentions.
As someone who does code, if someone tells you to delete anything, you always want to have it in writing so that the person that told you takes the blame in case anything happens. This is common practice so you don't get sued.
My s.o.'s parents recently divorced for a similar thing, she wasnt having a baby, she had CANCER, and he had one day he specifically asked to keep free but it just so happened (of course) that a surgery that would prevent her from having to do chemo for longer fell on the same day. He blamed her for that even though in the long run nothing bad happened to him. And he still chastised HER for something out of her control
@Avery Riley They have done it in several occasions, check last video for the most obvious one. In this one it is video 6. They immediately twisted the story and assumed that the guy had to be in the wrong, with no proof, just the guy was weird. That is the criteria they used to justify that he is a misogynistic person. That's all it took with no other explanation.
@@yjm8649 Was this man listening to her conversations not involving him then interrogating her about it supposed to be NOT creepy? The delusion some of you men have in this comments section is wild lmao
In the pregnant woman story I don't think she was necessarily saying the donuts were a bigger deal (even though with the amount of hormones anything and everything feels bigger no matter what) but that she had to skip breakfast, idk if you've ever been around a pregnant woman but either they're the embodiment of 'eating for two' , experiencing intense cravings or food aversions or too sick to eat at all so skipping meals is a big deal
I’m pregnant and I’ve literally had a breakdown over tiny things If I hadn’t eaten AND my vehicle broke down and I finally got to work and was told there were donuts and then found out someone ate my donuts because they just assumed I wasn’t showing up I’d probably be upset too lol also who just eats the extra leftover donuts for themselves? If there were leftover donuts I’d ask around about them first
I also found it hilarious that the guy was like "Well I don't eat breakfast :))" after he literally felt the need to eat several snacks to stay afloat at work
Yeah it sounded like she was saying that skipping breakfast was a bigger deal to a pregnant woman than for some kid. Which is a sentiment I'm not going to disagree with.
Husband actually doesn’t care he’s like “I need more money” but the boss straight up said he can take off as much PAID TIME OFF as he needs. He just doesn’t want to be there for his wife and rather be at his 9-5.
The secrecy coworker hits home for me tangentially. In college years ago I took a lot of physics classes for my major and the physics professor was very secretive. Prior to my going there the rest of my (soon to be) friend group learned he was married. During my time there we learned he and his wife just had a baby but he never told us outright. However, it became obvious because his story problems started to involve little girls doing activities like jumping on trampolines (“at a velocity of such and such”). While we never said so to him we were all happy for him. 😊
That's actually cute. Not like the coworker in the story who basically stalked her on facebook and just blurted it all out in front of everyone. Accidentally finding out and being happy for them in secret is actually just sorta sweet.
i’m sorry this story is just so beautiful and precious 🥹 i love the idea that he thought about his child everyday in these cute little ways and you just had this unknown understanding
@@thespankmyfrank Like Spencer said. We all do it, but to announce it to others? That's cringe. Also, it's not your story to tell or give out. They had a reason they didn't want to share. You're not entitled to other people's lives. You have to learn to deal with your disappointment from it lol
That’s like how my parents didn’t tell anyone at their office (both lawyers) about their plans to adopt a baby (me). It wasn’t until I was actually born that my dad went to his boss’s office and told him he’d need time off because he just adopted a baby, and he enthusiastically shook his hand and was so happy for him. Word spread around their offices and my parents received gifts for me from their coworkers for weeks afterwards. It was very kind.
My father was working while my birth and let me tell you: it was not him just not being around for that moment. He was constantly absent from my life. It makes it clear that you feel more of an obligation to supply the child with material things than love (just my opinion)
Had basically the same sitch with my dad and he never wanted to hold me and was barely home as I was growing up . When he WAS home, he was an abusive alcoholic, so we didn't mind him absent or when the court gave my mom full custody when they divorced. 🤷🏻♀️. His side of the family always did money/checks in the mail for Christmas while my mom's side would get together at someone's house for a potluck, homemade gifts, and just a lot of quality time.
The woman who didn't say she had kids was relatable, because mother's get discriminated against at work. If you say you have a dentist appointment it will go over a lot better than saying you want to go do something for your kids. It wouldn't matter if you were a father, but if you're a mother they start to wonder if you'll be able to balance your work with your kids. Women avoid mentioning kids during job interviews for this reason. It harms your work prospects. Edit: If you're married people also ask you if you're going to have kids soon. Employers worry about needing to give you maternity leave soon, but they won't usually say that outright. If your single, they wouldn't automatically assume you'll get pregnant.
Came here to comment this exact thing. Us women have to jump through so many hoops not to be treated unfairly, but if we take measures to protect ourselves, then we're seen as weird, rude, or suspicious.
Damn, this didn’t occur to me at all. So basically, she potentially had to sacrifice a degree of job security because someone violated her private life? That’s awful.
It’s a big issue in my career as well. Employers will ask during interviews if you are planning on having kids or getting pregnant soon, but it’s totally not legal; you can’t not hire/fire someone based on their pregnancy status. But just like with ageism, discrimination is hard to prove.
It's always such a challenge talking about yourself at work because on one hand you'll never know how someone might use it against you, but on the other if you don't act relatable, it might harm your chances at getting promoted
the moment my work found out my coworker was pregnant, they immediately took her out of being an office manager and cut her hours. they would talk about her behind her back and say bad stuff about how she won’t be able to work and all this stuff. it truly opened my eyes at how companies see women.
The way the guy at 10:09 talks about “the baby wont remember”. It’s not only about the baby lmao its literally the birth of their child together. It’s supposed to be a beautiful new chapter they start together. I feel like no one would really want to hear about their child’s birth from a meeting room. The way he phrases it also seems like he thinks his wife is just gonna slip this baby out too lmao, childbirth is fucking intense and she needs support and even if he doesn’t wanna see everything he should be there to hold her hand, cut the cord, hold his child ESPECIALLY bc he can get the time as paid leave like I understand not wanting handouts as in time off but this is the birth of his child.
Yeah exactly. Plus if he's gonna lie about there being a project he's "needed" for (when he ASKED for EXTRA work & never asked for PTO/ time off for his baby's birth), then idk that the wife should trust him on anything tbh... Bad time in their lives for him to be so uncaring about everything happening in their relationship/lives... AND blaming it on hormones 😑 like c'mon dude be a little excited
The "tiny little hole in the tummy" surgery is called "laparoscopic surgery" if anyone's interested. They actually make a couple holes - one for the camera, or laparoscope, and one or more for the instruments they use to move and cut and suture the tissue. Its also called a "keyhole surgery". My mom had her hysterectomy this way, it really reduced her recovery time considerably. Anyway. That's your infodump of the day.
The pregnancy one caught my attention. Pregnancy is a scary time for a woman, especially when it's around the time that the baby will be coming. He should be with his wife during that. It's a very serious thing.
Yeah, imagine that (God forbid) his wife and/or child didn't make it due to complications at childbirth, would he then feel ok about not being with them before their time came? Even if nothing happens, she would feel reassured by knowing he's with her at any moment
Those could very seriously have been their last days together and he would rather be working. I hope it was, but the only reason is that she's divorcing his ass and walking away with 50%
And even if the baby doesn’t remember imagine finding out your dad was offered paid time off to come to your birth and declined it and decided not to come anyway because he didn’t think it was important like?? Especially with how he was acting in the post
I once worked with a guy like Tea guy, not fun. He creeped me out pretty fast and he used the "I use to be shy so I'm just trying to help" thing too. Felt more condescending then helpful. Like, I'm shy, not a child.
That woman is not holding out on her coworkers because she distrusts them, she has boundaries. As a mom, it’s really nice to just be seen as an adult sometimes, separate from your family.
But the problem with that entire logic as Shane points out is too maximize your professional career means incorporating your personal life. That’s just a fact. It’s not really fair but it is how it is. Theres just a social expectance that you share a little bit about yourself and your personal life
@@ashkim2628 People will treat you differently based on everything about you. Hair colour, posture, teeth, dress colour and everything else. Literally everything people learn about you in some very very very small way will change how people see you. Also I’d actually like to know in what way specifically they are treated differently. Because the connotation there is treated differently in a bad way.
@@lazygenie5616 yes I know that, it’s if they know she married they will keep asking when she is gonna have kid. Knowing both the boss will tend to cut her pay, not accept a day off or leave early doc appointments for kids. Anything to due her kids they will deny. Which is probably one the other reasons she didn’t say nothing. This is not new information this is always been an issue and the fact you don’t know that is weird, there are countless stories on Reddit and have been read by Reddit telling/reading UA-camrs ;-;
@@ashkim2628they would cut her pay…. Right…. Because she has a kid. Why don’t you run me through that logic. I’d love too know. I’m a mean boss, and I’m going to choose to cut a woman’s pay because I know she has a kid? Why? What is the logic or thought process. Are you under some kinda delusion that every boss not only doesn’t like you, But will actively go out of his/her way to ruin your life because he knows you have kids. You are delusion, not everyone is out to get you. And maybe if you spent some time in the real world instead of having your idea of bosses be solely based on tv shows and Reddit stories you’d know this. Edit: also if they know she’s married they will ask when she’s gonna have a kid….. again just such a stereotypical thing you’d see on TV.
The "I Hide My Personal Life At Work " story, you don't have to change OP. You are perfect as you are. You communicate, seem to care for others as well for yourself, and live a life. You do your work and your duties. If people want to feel butt hurt that they can't snoop around your life and they want to whine, just ignore them. Any information you do not want to give is absolutely valid. Don't let any dumbass let you think otherwise.
I took a sip of water just as Shayne read “And it’s not because my head game isn’t good” and I had to actively prevent myself from spitting the water out 😂😂😂
I think it's common for people to find out that women are parents and treat them differently, and especially over the years it kind of becomes exhausting. It sounds like it's really important to her to have that time outside of the house and socializing with other adults but I do think it's sad that culture is such that people feel like they can't share that info without being fully treated differently than men with kids or people without kids.
Yeah statistically women with kids get paid worse and are offered promotions less where men with kids are paid and promoted more. It's wrong but still very much legal in the US
I dont remember my father being bedside but MY MOTHER does. She had EVERYONE rotating through her room, from my paternal grandfather, aunts and uncles, to my maternal grandparents and uncle. Almost everyone has a story from when they sat bedside with my mom. And most of those people don't even LIKE her anymore but everyone speaks fondly of the experience.
i know everyone's already said it but i CANNOT stop watching this series. discovered it only a few weeks ago and i've been rewatching ever since. thanks for the entertainment!
Shayne mentioning he never worked in the service industry hit me like a ton of bricks like for some reason I feel like everyone’s worked in the service industry

Speaking of cysts lol. Me, my sister, and my mom all had a cyst in the same spot (at the base of our tailbone). Mine burst while i was in pre calculus lol. Recovery was an adventure, i literally had to keep it packed with gauze for months to make sure it didnt heal over and refill with fluid. Taking out and replacing the gauze every day was an adventure
Just saying as someone who has gone through a divorce, if nobody at work knows youre married it saves a lot of painful and uncomfortable questions/conversations if something tragic happens
For the donut guy, why did he automatically assume the two 'spare' donuts were his anyways? What about the other 10 coworkers presently there? Even if the pregnant lady didnt show, it doesnt mean those donuts were his.
I was serving in Iraq on deployment & I made sure I was home when my twins were born. As the husband I didn’t need to be there, but I couldn’t imagine missing the first time I heard my son crying, that is when I was like OMG I’m a DAD. Plus one of my kids had to get flown an hour away to a NICU, something we weren’t expecting. Seriously how could any man not want to be there.
Its actually weird how if you MEET at a job, new friendship and life long relationships (platonic or romantic) can form. But if you are ALREADY dating or married, and then work together, its a fucking nightmare and ruins everything lol
I feel like it’s cause when you meet at a job you’ve already learned how to work well together. Likely you were great coworkers to each other first, and then the relationship formed. Vs being together and the starting a job you have no idea of how to work together in a job environment. Plus especially when one of you already was working there?? You would join and immediately gravitate towards them and can end up isolating yourself from other coworkers and smothering each other.
@@olingecko yo same! I remember the first time I had to get a cyst drained it was huge and hurt like a bitch, I had it for years but it always came and went without much trouble 'til then. the other two times still stunk though: one on my stomach was so sore after and the second one messed up my pants because it hadn't stopped bleeding ( it was only the inside and it came out easy).
@@kur0t0synthi had one the size of a quarter on the very top back of my thigh, right under my butt, and i remember so clearly the betrayal of my mom making me lay on my stomach to see it and SWEARING she wasnt going to touch it because it hurt so much, and then suddenly squeezing the absolute daylight out of it to drain it. my memory is extremely bad, but that moment, the excruciating pain, and my crying afterwards is seared into my brain AFAIR, it healed up fine and didnt come back afterwards so i guess she technically did the right thing lmao
@@kur0t0synth i think that was part of why she had me lay the way i did lol. i probably wasnt more than 10 or 11 years old and there wasnt an easy way for me to quickly squirm away like that if i started having second thoughts 😂
The “I️ Hide My Personal Life at Work” person could have trauma, could be a DV victim, could have had a stalker in the past, etc. People are allowed to keep whatever they want private in the workplace!!! I️ get wanting to know more about someone but that does not EVER overshadow boundaries of that person, regardless of their reasoning.
The pregnant wife one. My dad fell asleep for a bit while my mom was in labor with my younger brother, there's still debate on whether or not he woke up on time to see the birth. It's been 27 years and my mom STILL guilts him about it. It's not at all about the kid, it's about supporting your spouse in a significant moment of pain, happiness and vulnerability- that you as the other parent participated in. Your kid won't remember, but your wife always will
34:27 it’s Pam from The Office! She fakes going into labor to get out of work so much that they escalate to pretending like her water broke. Great reference, love y’all’s Reddit videos!
I swear, every woman or female presenting person whos ever worked in an office setting or anywhere really, has had the experience with an older co-worker being too friendly/creepy/stalkerish... i can not believe that man tried to report her to hr for not being friendly
Just want to say that Shayne’s Ron Swanson impression was on point. It wasn’t just the voice - his face morphed into Nick Offerman. Another impression for a future Funeral Roast!
The show Spencer referenced where a pregnant woman is using going into labor to avoid work is The Office. Pam consistently pretends to be in labor so she can avoid meetings and conversations, it's hilarious.
For the post about the woman who doesn’t wanna share anything at work, I don’t think she should have felt bad or made amends for anything. No one is entitled to that information. I work in a library and have fantastic work relationships with people I know the absolute bare minimum (or nothing at all) about.
ppl are criticising the mom for not doing her job well bc she didn’t network by sharing details abt her personal life, but it’s no one’s business if she doesn’t want it to be lmao. this doesn’t involve anyone but her.
I’ve worked in many places where you get to know your coworkers and vice-versa to a point where you personally consider them your friends but as soon as you’re let go, they act like you don’t exist anymore which led me to be more closed off over the years at work. I valued the “friendship” more than they did, once I was no use to them, I might as well be dead. Maybe she just doesn’t want to experience that type of hurt again.
The one where the person didn't want to talk about her personal life - totally get it!! A lot of times you get f-ed over if you give up too much of your personal life! And I really do think that if she were a man who just was quiet about his personal life it wouldn't have been an issue.
I don't like to share any of my personal life or thoughts at work when two specific co-workers are around, because anything you say is basically giving them an excuse to say something mean towards you. Say something and you're guaranteed a mean response, criticism, a hurtful mockery, because it's not coming from a friendly place (I mean, they probably think it is), but from believing they're the smartest and everyone else is dumb. No matter what you say or do, they'll make you think it was stupid. Setting direct boundaries is useless and the only boundary I can actually set is to just not limit my interractions with them and keep conversation as vague as possible.
Also, Melinda isn't just wierd, she's a creep, sitting in front of you computer and going to that length to find someone is so creepy, also we could better see that if it were a man who looked for a woman that way
Just to adress the cyst stuff... Tommy said that after the surgery it's not gonna happen again because of scar tissue... Not entirely true. I had it happen twice, had surgery for it twice (both times been out of commision for over 3 months, 2 years apart), and after the second time had hair removel therapy to prevent it from happening again in that area (which was already recommended the first time I had surgery). So, check your posture and also, it can 'just' happen even if you're carefull!
I love how the guy filing for harassment was the harasser. The lack of self-reflection is real.
He sounds autistic
my mother in a nutshell
Even if we didn't have the creepy backstory, in a vacuum, reporting "hostile work environment" because of a minor disagreement about tea is completely unhinged.
Real and frightening
Lot of guys believe that whoever complains to HR first gets preferential treatment (due to getting their narrative out first or whatever), so he probably felt he was being proactive. Doesn't really work if you are actively harassing the person you report.
it's so funny how the doughnut guy was like "Yeah who cares breakfast isn't important I don't eat it " then proceeded to eat 4 entire doughnuts for breakfast lmao
RIght? "i dOn'T eAt bReaKfAst aNd i'M fiNe". You just ate *FOUR* donuts within 30 minutes of starting work, buddy. You're CLEARLY not "fiNE"!!💀💀
That should have been his wake up call that maybe he should start eating breakfast (so he doesn't down his coworkers' doughnuts on top of his own)
I mean if you have problem with weight skipping breakfast is the best thing you can do. But first of all how does him not eating breakfast have anything to do with the pregnant lady? And second of all, exactly. If you don't eat/need breakfast than you could have left the two fucking doughnuts alone.
The fact that he ate 4 doughnuts in the span of 30 minutes is still baffling to me. Like at the start of the story I though he would say we had doughnuts so I ate two instead of one, which is understandable. BUT YOU EAT FUCKING 4 DOUGHNUTS INSTEAD OF 2? Not to mention the doughnuts were clearly specifically counted. Like man at least wait idk maybe an hour?
@@LordKeram exactly, even at HOME I feel bad for eating the last/ the most portions of something. Doing that at work with doughnuts you didn't even pay or ask anyone about? So selfish
He may not recognize the fact that he DID eat breakfast because it wasn't eggs toast and bacon or cereal or something, but eating 4 donuts in the morning is technically your breakfast, no, not a good one mind you, but that IS breakfast, I'm definitely being harsh, but like, it feels like he's just denying it because I don't think most people would want to say they ate donuts for breakfast or he's quirky and has to feel cool for not doing what the majority does, because "I don't even eat breakfast, why does it matter". The definition of breakfast is the word itself, break fast, breaking a fast, the first meal after sleeping, technically being a fast from when you ate dinner the night before.
my dad was literally dying during the birth of my sister, and he made them wheel him from the emergency room to see my mom and sister, before going unconscious and having to be wheeled back to the emergency room. to hear that this dougebag doesnt want to be there for such an important moment is an outrage.
I was there for all my 3 kids births and i would not have missed that for anything but i did not take off from work BEFORE the baby was born. Why would you?
@@David-cc8xe i would say baby being born, like the week before would be best to take off (the body is ramping up) and then definitely after for as long as possible. the side effects of birth last for around 2 years including spinal, ribcage, and more. directly after birth you are peeing yourself, can't wipe yourself after pooping and leak.
@herb_rolls yeah i was just talking with my wife, wich we had 3 kids together and she did not need me a week before. Her mother even asked her to come over before they were born and she did not want anybody there. She was doing fine. All 3 births lasted max 3 hours, did not even tear once. I took 6 weeks off after each off them to be there for her and to be with my babies. And i was getting up at night to let her sleep. She did not need me to be there a week before. And after 3 kids i think we know what we are talking about thank you very much
@@David-cc8xe To help out your partner and support them? The last month of pregnancy is crazy difficult and she could have been feeling scared and needed support from him. Also, it sounds like she was afraid of going into labor and him not leaving work to be there.....
@@David-cc8xe I don't really believe your post because it's very rare to have a birth that quickly, especially for the first one. I'm concerned you're talking about the ACTIVE labor part where she is pushing and 3 hours for that part is A LOT.
The “workplace harassment” guy was literally listening to her conversations and then interrogating her about them. She could have easily gone to HR first!
And then overhead that she doesn't like talking to him and STILL won't leave her alone!
Ikr that's so backwards
@DJKuroh to be fair though, assuming he wasn't trying to do anything other than be a good coworker and make her feel comfortable, I can understand why he would go to HR if she was telling people he was harassing her. That's a serious accusation and maybe HR could mediate, at least facilitate a conversation so they could find a resolution
@@BertFromOhio But he didn’t tell them that she said that. He reported her for literally telling him that she didn’t like tea
@BertFromOhio there might not be much they could do. He knew she didnt like talking to him and yet still kept this up for a YEAR. It takes about 5 minutes to know someone isnt vibing with you. Its the fact he kept inserting himself that seems a bit obsessive. Also he didnt report her for that. He reported her for not responding nicer to his conversation attempts. Dude couldnt move on from 1 person not wanting to be his friend. Childish.
I literally went into labor 4 days ago, and my boyfriend took off as long as I was in the hospital. We are actually strapped for money but he knew I would need him and he wanted to be there for me and his son. I can’t imagine what it is like to have more loyalty towards your job than your pregnant wife and future twins. Just listening to that story makes me want to cry bc labor is hard for EVERYONE and she’s having multiples

It’s a bit weird how addictive these reddit videos are. I mean, there’s a ton of channels that read stories from Reddit but this series hits that perfect spot for me.
This! I keep looking for other channels reading reddit stories and it never hits the same. So I impatiently wait for these
It's the tribunal style of these ones I think, plus the rotating cast and Shayne Smosh being there to carry.
It’s the familiarity with daddy Shayne.
As someone who regularly listens to reddit stories while I do chores and clean, this is only one that makes me want to stop and just listen. Plus you get actual facial reactions instead of just a generic read along.
You get to judge idiots and assholes with surrogate “friends” whose background and personality you’re familiar with while they give smart and funny commentary. Classic brain off easy gratification while getting to feel superior. One of the best ideas they’ve had in awhile and so cheap and easy to do.
No, I don’t remember my father being bedside during my own birth but I’m sure my mother remembers. You’re there for HER.
The other point to being by their side is that even though it's not very likely nowadays but if there are complications and either she or the baby passes away during birth like what the hell no amount of how fast you wanna get there is going to matter if it already happened. My older sister and her now ex husband had a stillborn several years back and I can't even imagine how painful that would have been for her to have to go through that by herself without her husband there.
I don't remember my birth father being there but I know I was upside down and backwards with the umbilical cord around my throat so they had to do a c-section. I don't know if he was there but I really hope my mom had some kind of support from loved ones
I bet he was there when the baby went in. 🙄

@@GuineaParents I feel like the only time this is acceptable is if you're like "oh my god, I understand completely I got such little sleep. We should get coffee" lmao
what's so especially crazy about the pto dad one is that his wife could literally DIE while giving birth and he would just be like "well you see I had to make money" like he could legitimately never see his wife again and he just doesn't give a fuck
Also I imagine the last few weeks/days of pregnancy are hard and having him there to help her and take her to the hospital would be so wonderful for her, but no, ig she will have to do everything herself or rely on her mother and his.
That's three entire thing! He doesn't give a duck about his wife and what she has to go through and what she needs, before and after! Just to make some extra money? That's the dumbest most self centered man I've ever encountered. Makes me so sad. She's in an abusive relationship and needs to leave now!
@@gooodmorning4526yes they are very very hard, especially since q lot of women can develop pre eclampsia a couple weeks before birth and it's super treatable but if you don't notice it and treat it, it's fatal to both the mom and baby! This man makes me so angry. Probably because he reminds me of my dad.....lol
Right?? That guy's argument about wanting to save up money for after the baby is born is immediately nullified by the fact that his boss was going to give him PTO for as long as he needed. So he was going to make the same amount of money whether he was at work or not (unless he took on a bunch of overtime, which it sounds like he wanted to do since he asked for more work).
Bottom line, I would've been so angry with my husband if he wanted to make himself so unavailable when we were having our daughter. He was there for the entire process (I had a scheduled induction so none of the time I was in labor was a surprise). The whole thing was largely uneventful until it was time to start pushing, but just knowing my husband was with me no matter what showed me what kind of man he really is.
It makes complete sense he is an OBGYN.

The funny thing in the story with the tea is that the coworker does talk to people. Just...people in her department and people who are closer to her age. Not people who can't take the hint to leave her alone.
Bingo. I've watched that exact scenario play out soooo many times. It never ends well.

Pertaining the "I hide my personal life at work" story: I've actually been in deep hiding for a long period of my life. My relatives actively sought out my family to hurt us to a point that when my mum was spotted in the parking lot of her work she got a new car 3 days later(it was a process). I don't use my real name or even my nickname online, I don't list nearby areas to me, I don't have pictures online, my family's names are secrets, my job history is only presented in vague stories offline or on resumes, etc. I'm VERY private and secretive for a very specific reason. While the lady of the story isn't a case like mine I can 100% see why outing someone's private details like that is extremely damaging and can be potentially life threatening. If my relatives had ever found me and my family they would have continued to torture us and kill our animals again and this story really brought trauma back up. Everyone is all "It's weird to be private" without understanding that everyone who's private to that degree has a reason. Hers just happens to be a split life for her mental health. It is odd and absolutely should NEVER be pushed.
Exactly people that private normally have a reason, it’s a full time job of itself to become that private and keep it that way, you are constantly looking over your shoulder and fearful that any information can get out and your life become over.
Sometime it can literally be life or death for people

I’ve been having a rough day dealing with coworkers today and decided to search up some Reddit story content about annoying coworkers and found this. This is way better than all those channels that just have this robo voice read out Reddit posts. The cast is also very charming and six minutes in, I’m already laughing my ass off
These three guys are probably the funniest group in the cast.
The worst thing about the coworker harassment story isn’t that he was talking to her and giving compliments. It’s that he said he overheard talking to someone else saying she doesn’t like talking to him and he is stalker-like and then KEPT talking to/stalking her.
I’m all for getting to know coworkers. I’ve been good friend with almost all my past coworkers. But if I heard that, I’d immediately go and apologize to her and then leave her alone.
She doesn’t want your tea. Leave her alone.
I'd probably be so embarrassed I'd leave that job entirely. The fact that these people are walking around being so socially unaware is insane.
She couldve been more adult about it and told him directly though. They are adults who can hande their own problems. From what we know she never told him she didn't like him at all, so how is he supposed to know? All he saw was a new coworker he wanted to be work friends with. She can't really get mad at him for talking to her to much when she never said anything. I'm not taking his side because what he did was also stupid. I'm just saying that she couldve solved this by simply telling him she didn't want to talk instead of getting hr involved for nothing.
@@paige8453 I mean he is supposed to know because he literally overheard her tell someone else she doesn’t like him and see him as stalker-like. Prior that that, yeah, he wouldn’t have known, so I wouldn’t have blamed him.
But he heard her say that and still decided to creep around her. Once he heard her say she didn’t like being around him, even if she said it to another person, he should have apologized or just straight up never talked to her again.
I was like 8 months pregnant when McDonald's discontinued the breakfast bagels, and I literally cried in the drive through. I probably would have cried over the donuts.
I guess the bagels are back now
Mozzarella sticks for me. I cried in the drive thru.
Those steak egg and cheese bagels were the only thing keeping me at McDonald's and I'm so salty the best thing to happen to breakfast is gone 😭😭😭😭
I cried cause there wasn't pepperoni on my pizza 😂
When I was pregnant, I drove past a doughnut shop everyday on the way to work. Then I dreamed about cookies and doughnuts but I was trying to be healthy. I've been holding in the tears for a few weeks then one day I told my husband about the dream and started bawling cuz I drive past it everyday and never got any lol. He took me to get a doughnut lol. . They were closed when we got there but my cravings went away the second we left the driveway 😅
the one story about the dad being absent during birth reminds be of how my own father went on a hunting trip while my mom was sick during her pregnancy then called her selfish for asking him not to go. he left his sick pregnant wife alone and my grandma had to come and take care of her. anyway they're divorced now. hope that woman does the same thing and divorce his ass
👏👏
That's so utterly heartbreaking, I'm glad she divorced him! Partners should be a team!🖤

It makes me wonder if the reason her coworkers are now upset that she is such an ~enigma~ is because they had assumed she had no life to talk about and that’s why she never said anything and when they found out that she had a great life, it became a problem
Well it means she doesn’t like them lol they took it personal
Idk, I think it’s less that they’re upset she has a life and more them thinking “wait…that’s it?” OP’s life is super normal and the coworkers are probably think “wow you think so little of us you won’t even let us know you’re married with kids?” Like those are BIG things to hide for a long time. OP doesn’t need to share every little thing, but idk OP weirds me out personally
@@SongBird101 i guess, but some folks just prefer to be private and separate work life from home life. It doesn't really matter how you feel if someone at work just doesn't feel comfortable or wanting to talk about THEIR life to you, then that's also their choice to make.
If it's so mundane, i think my first thought would be "oh you just don't feel comfortable sharing any of this huh"
Yeah I worked in a place like this before, a school though, where the school was in the middle of nowhere and everyone was mostly miserable about their own personal lives and would like feed on other people's drama. We had a couple of private people due to how nosy these people would get (usually for their own comparison, and they'd latch onto the ones with the most dramatic lives) and they would legit get off on if they "found something out" about the private people or they'd spend free time speculating why they didn't share. Bunch of losers really.
My thing is, she could’ve been doing this for other reasons than just staying private. OP could’ve had a serious stalker who would do anything to get info on her, or someone in her family could’ve as well. You never know what people have gone through/ are dealing with. 🤷🏻♀️ If people want to be private let them be private, it’s not anyone’s business but their own.
I love when Cis het white guys learn new phrases such as “Girl get up” and then proceed to explain them. It’s genuinely some of the funniest shit ever to me, ESPECIALLY when they’re correct. It brings me so much joy and I don’t know why.
Tommy is actually gay, but the point still stands.

Currently 19, and I can't even fathom eating something and being upset at a pregnant person for being upset 😭
Yea exacly what I was thinking. Being 19 doesnt mean u can be a socially unaware asshole. Theres no excuse for being an asshole anywhere over 16 and even that's a stretch. Teens can be nice and think of others. Normalize teens being stupid but kind lmao. Being stupid I can accept as a kid thing but being considerate can be achieved at any age. They key is for ur stupidity to mostly affect you but not the people around u c:
Like yea I got my hair shredded by accident, I was shy to send emails to clarify things to make stuff easier for myself and I forgot to get vaccinated for tetanus. But I never ate the last doughnut and I always thought about not inconveniencing others. And if I die of tetanus thats mostly a Me problem
But do you eat breakfast?
@@takkiemon nah i dont even eat breakfast
I wouldn't be upset at her for being upset. I'd understand. But I'd also not be sorry for eating a donut. Pregnant or not pregnant. Considering I waited enough time.
For the story about the coworker that shared info on the op. With some exceptions, Your coworkers are not your friends, you owe them nothing about your personal life if you don’t want to share it. I think because we are so used to people sharing everything about themselves online we get kinda nosy when someone doesn’t open up.
As someone who dislikes sharing personal info at work that Melinda situation was so upsetting.
As soon as Melinda was described as the new nosy get-to-know everyone coworker my skin crawled. Better that Melinda was also a woman but still not okay the level that she snooped and announced details of OPs personal life.
I’m very private at work because the few women do nothing but gossip and some male coworkers have made subtle advancements at me and not gotten the hint they need to back off with that behavior.
Yeah and OP’s coworkers are also assholes bc they had the nerve to be offended at OP and not the person who went out of their way to basically STALK OP. What if OP was secretive bc they were starting over after leaving an abusive/toxic situation and was trying to ensure their safety?? Not that she owe’s any explanation for her privacy.
I would’ve replied with ‘did u figure out where the bodies are buried too?’ Just for fun
@@TawnyRoyalI’m pretty private about my home life when talking with coworkers but thats because I avoid anything that may reveal parts that I like to keep hidden (like having adhd which affects everything I do). My coworkers know I have a cat because he’s my desktop background and that I rock climb since I’ve seen a couple coworkers at the gym before. Other than that, I don’t share much. It’s so messed up that OPs coworkers were more upset with her than her coworker that like stalked her
@@Corrugated_Box I have 2 coworkers who I consider my “work moms”, anything they tell me that other coworkers don’t know immediately goes in my mental vault bc they are very private with their lives; the fact they trusted me enough to tell me means so much to me.

There is NOTHING more relatable to me than crying in the walk-in freezer at any waiting job. Also, hiding in there on a very hot day is top tier
Literally the most relatable thing I've heard. My first job was macdonalds, I cried in the cool room without knowing there was a security camera that my manager was looking at. Died of embarrassment when he talked to me about stress in the workplace
The freezer is the safe haven 😇
I've always been scared of being trapped in the walk-ins. I do my crying by the dumpster lol
@@jakemarie828 hey whatever works
On screen, Shane is the heart of Smosh. I don't think he should ever feel he needs to justify the work he does. Not only is he kind and thoughtful (as shows on these Reddit shows), in improv he's always there to keep things going, he's always got the prompts and the ideas, he's always funny, he's always got something in reserve, he's secretly the grownup in the room. Shane is a rock. He's not even my favourite, but he's essential.
If my husband said he didnt want to be with me when giving birth and wanted to go to work instead, i would instantly fall out of love.
Instant emotional separation
It’s interesting, but I know I would not want my husband in the room. There is nothing they can actually do to help as far as I see it. Useless in this situation. But that’s me
And leave his ass
@@V.Hansen. that’s fine for you. No judgment.
I would want the emotional support, but that’s me 😊
@@V.Hansen. thats thw big difference though, bc she actively wants him there for valid reasons (emotional support, bonding w the baby and her) and he doesn't want to be there for bullshit reasons
The donut one got me. Not so much cos he didn’t think his pregnant coworker was coming, but more that he thought it was acceptable to eat 4 f’ing donuts at a work thing!
LITERALLY. Like at least wait till lunch to hoover the spares, goddamn
Exactly, I mean two is pretty dang good, but on the off chance that I wanted another one, that's what I'd do, get *one* . And even then I'd feel so bad when the lady actually shows, I'd nonstop apologize
especially when he "doesn't eat breakfast"
As someone who runs a work location with 12-13 people, I will often pick up donuts for everyone (2 dozen). In my experience there’s routinely 6+ left over at the end regardless of brand or variety. I’m way more shocked that all 12 people wanted to eat two donuts than just one person wanting to eat four
I was so surprised that he only waited 30 minutes 😂
One of the funniest things that happened at my old job was that there were two boxes of breakfast foods (breakfast sandwiches, muffins, bagels, juices, milks) left in our lobby. I don’t remember any familiar names on the package (there were lots of other businesses in our building, and I was familiar with some of the names of them from looking for our packages). Anyways, by the time 2 PM hit, my coworkers, and I determined that the food was going to spoil if no one took it. So we did 😂😂😂 we shared it with our coworkers , and our supervisor shook his head at us and continued to bring it up later 😂😂😂😂😂
spencer saying crying in the walk in freezer is like something on the bear is actually so funny
Moral of the story: never, EVER list someone as a reference without contacting them first
Specifically if you were given a job some petty man wanted
Yup. Especially if they’re prone to telling the truth about you and you were absolutely useless. 😂. Get a friend as a reference.
I mean, that was some thing I was told in college. It’s them doing you a favor, and you need to make sure that they’re able to. Also, they might want to know some thing about the job so that they can tailor their responses to that job.
Agreed. Everyone on my list of potential references has been contacted and given permission to be used as a reference. If for some reason, I believe they might've changed their minds, I ask to make sure, lol
Story One: I had a boyfriend who wouldn’t stop talking about a waitress at the restaurant where he worked. Invited me out with their “group” to the club one night and introduced us. She kept complimenting my looks. I didn’t buy it but I played along.
The fawning over her to me didn’t stop after that. I was “the love of his life.”
He married her a few years after that.
I would never go get a job to work with them like this OP did, but I totally relate to her picking up on that vibe. Especially because my ex had been unfaithful before, too. More than once.
Sorry that happened to you.
@@zarinamohamed5245 Thank you! But I’m fine! I’m married now and I’m sure she was surprised to find out one “little” thing that I already knew. 😂
We had been together for almost 7 years since we were in high school and ending it was definitely for the best. I finally broke it off with him (he had done quite a few things that crossed the line) and even though it stung to see her parade him after, I quickly realized that that wasn’t what I wanted for the rest of my life and now I’m happily married in a much better situation. 💜
@@Hai_Lello is it a “bigger” and better situation I hope? 😊😉
Sorry that happened to you. Yeah I feel a partner can tell, it’s a vibe and the way they talk about them.
The coworker story is creepy! It seems like OP just wanted her privacy and this is probably very unlikely/extreme, but what if there was a legitimate concern like witness protection or something like a stalker/domestic violence/ dangerous ex history. There could be actual safety reasons she likes to keep things separate. Or perhaps she had a previous issue with an ex-coworker and decided to now leave things separate. You never know what's going on in people's lives and if someone wants their privacy, leave them alone.
This!

Imagine being the HR rep that guy has to talk to, having this weirdo yelling "She lied about the tea! SHE LIED ABOUT THE TEA!!" like Dennis from It's Always Sunny.
@@ArchibaldClumpy he does totally give Dennis energy, she can’t reject his tea conversation because of the implication! 😂
@ArchibaldClumpy And she wasn’t even lying about the tea. Oolong isn’t white tea. It’s just another thing this guy is a clueless idiot about.
Maybe i need to rewatch this one but i didnt feel like he was the asshole he was trying to be nice and she was being bitchy and talking smack about him to another coworker the internet is always going to side with the women even when their behavior is ridiculous
@@DeadKingV He claimed he was an expert in and loved tea, and then went on to accuse this woman of lying because she said she liked White tea because she had previously said she didn't like Oolong. all this because he mistakenly believes that White tea and Oolong are the same thing. He clearly isn't a tea expert like he claims. this is pretty basic stuff. Not only are they different teas, but they even require different water temperatures, and usually steeping time as well. This guy clearly doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, which puts into question his entire side of the story since he reported her to HR for "lying" about tea, when she clearly wasn't. It really is the Dunning-Kruger-effect in action. Imagine being so confident about a topic that you report someone to HR for correcting a wrong idea you have. No wonder she doesn't want to talk to this guy. He must be insufferable. She obviously has no issue with the other guys at her work place. Just the one who comes in from another department to specifically talk to her, who claims to be an expert in something she's into, but also has subpar knowledge that he is insisting is right. Don’t you get how that could be annoying?
Ya know if my father wasnt there for my birth I wouldnt know now as an adult that I actually died at birth...My mother was so drugged for a c-section that she does'nt remember at all, and my dad was the only who eventually told me they had to resuscitate me.

Holy shit, I thought for a second that I wrote this!!

No one is obligated to share details about their lives to anyone
@kaibaiarrio1299 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I bet the "hostile work environment" guy's coworker was only shy and withdrawn with him because he made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't seem to have trouble socializing with the other guy about tea. But the fact he kept pushing when she was retreating is total creep behavior whether or not he actually had good intentions.
we all learn that "good intentions" doesn't mean shit if you actively hurt someone or are cruel to them
As someone who does code, if someone tells you to delete anything, you always want to have it in writing so that the person that told you takes the blame in case anything happens. This is common practice so you don't get sued.
My s.o.'s parents recently divorced for a similar thing, she wasnt having a baby, she had CANCER, and he had one day he specifically asked to keep free but it just so happened (of course) that a surgery that would prevent her from having to do chemo for longer fell on the same day. He blamed her for that even though in the long run nothing bad happened to him. And he still chastised HER for something out of her control
It makes no sense and he regrets it now

In the pregnant woman story I don't think she was necessarily saying the donuts were a bigger deal (even though with the amount of hormones anything and everything feels bigger no matter what) but that she had to skip breakfast, idk if you've ever been around a pregnant woman but either they're the embodiment of 'eating for two' , experiencing intense cravings or food aversions or too sick to eat at all so skipping meals is a big deal
I'm currently 4 months and if I don't eat every couple hours, I'm extremely sick. I relate to the pregnant woman being upset.
I’m pregnant and I’ve literally had a breakdown over tiny things If I hadn’t eaten AND my vehicle broke down and I finally got to work and was told there were donuts and then found out someone ate my donuts because they just assumed I wasn’t showing up I’d probably be upset too lol also who just eats the extra leftover donuts for themselves? If there were leftover donuts I’d ask around about them first
I also found it hilarious that the guy was like "Well I don't eat breakfast :))" after he literally felt the need to eat several snacks to stay afloat at work
Yeah it sounded like she was saying that skipping breakfast was a bigger deal to a pregnant woman than for some kid. Which is a sentiment I'm not going to disagree with.
@@gronizherz3603 Good point.
Husband actually doesn’t care he’s like “I need more money” but the boss straight up said he can take off as much PAID TIME OFF as he needs. He just doesn’t want to be there for his wife and rather be at his 9-5.
He just seems like he doesn't even care to be a dad and if that's true you can guarantee he will end up being an absentee dad
The secrecy coworker hits home for me tangentially. In college years ago I took a lot of physics classes for my major and the physics professor was very secretive. Prior to my going there the rest of my (soon to be) friend group learned he was married. During my time there we learned he and his wife just had a baby but he never told us outright. However, it became obvious because his story problems started to involve little girls doing activities like jumping on trampolines (“at a velocity of such and such”). While we never said so to him we were all happy for him. 😊
That's actually cute. Not like the coworker in the story who basically stalked her on facebook and just blurted it all out in front of everyone. Accidentally finding out and being happy for them in secret is actually just sorta sweet.
i’m sorry this story is just so beautiful and precious 🥹 i love the idea that he thought about his child everyday in these cute little ways and you just had this unknown understanding
@@thespankmyfrank Like Spencer said. We all do it, but to announce it to others? That's cringe. Also, it's not your story to tell or give out. They had a reason they didn't want to share. You're not entitled to other people's lives. You have to learn to deal with your disappointment from it lol
That’s like how my parents didn’t tell anyone at their office (both lawyers) about their plans to adopt a baby (me). It wasn’t until I was actually born that my dad went to his boss’s office and told him he’d need time off because he just adopted a baby, and he enthusiastically shook his hand and was so happy for him. Word spread around their offices and my parents received gifts for me from their coworkers for weeks afterwards. It was very kind.
My father was working while my birth and let me tell you: it was not him just not being around for that moment. He was constantly absent from my life. It makes it clear that you feel more of an obligation to supply the child with material things than love (just my opinion)
Had basically the same sitch with my dad and he never wanted to hold me and was barely home as I was growing up . When he WAS home, he was an abusive alcoholic, so we didn't mind him absent or when the court gave my mom full custody when they divorced. 🤷🏻♀️. His side of the family always did money/checks in the mail for Christmas while my mom's side would get together at someone's house for a potluck, homemade gifts, and just a lot of quality time.
I dealt with a pilonidal cyst for years. Needed two surgeries. It was not fun and a dark time in my life. Respect to anyone who’s dealt with them

The woman who didn't say she had kids was relatable, because mother's get discriminated against at work. If you say you have a dentist appointment it will go over a lot better than saying you want to go do something for your kids. It wouldn't matter if you were a father, but if you're a mother they start to wonder if you'll be able to balance your work with your kids. Women avoid mentioning kids during job interviews for this reason. It harms your work prospects.
Edit: If you're married people also ask you if you're going to have kids soon. Employers worry about needing to give you maternity leave soon, but they won't usually say that outright. If your single, they wouldn't automatically assume you'll get pregnant.
Came here to comment this exact thing. Us women have to jump through so many hoops not to be treated unfairly, but if we take measures to protect ourselves, then we're seen as weird, rude, or suspicious.
Damn, this didn’t occur to me at all. So basically, she potentially had to sacrifice a degree of job security because someone violated her private life? That’s awful.
It’s a big issue in my career as well. Employers will ask during interviews if you are planning on having kids or getting pregnant soon, but it’s totally not legal; you can’t not hire/fire someone based on their pregnancy status. But just like with ageism, discrimination is hard to prove.
It's always such a challenge talking about yourself at work because on one hand you'll never know how someone might use it against you, but on the other if you don't act relatable, it might harm your chances at getting promoted
the moment my work found out my coworker was pregnant, they immediately took her out of being an office manager and cut her hours. they would talk about her behind her back and say bad stuff about how she won’t be able to work and all this stuff. it truly opened my eyes at how companies see women.
The way the guy at 10:09 talks about “the baby wont remember”. It’s not only about the baby lmao its literally the birth of their child together. It’s supposed to be a beautiful new chapter they start together. I feel like no one would really want to hear about their child’s birth from a meeting room. The way he phrases it also seems like he thinks his wife is just gonna slip this baby out too lmao, childbirth is fucking intense and she needs support and even if he doesn’t wanna see everything he should be there to hold her hand, cut the cord, hold his child ESPECIALLY bc he can get the time as paid leave like I understand not wanting handouts as in time off but this is the birth of his child.
Yeah exactly. Plus if he's gonna lie about there being a project he's "needed" for (when he ASKED for EXTRA work & never asked for PTO/ time off for his baby's birth), then idk that the wife should trust him on anything tbh... Bad time in their lives for him to be so uncaring about everything happening in their relationship/lives... AND blaming it on hormones 😑 like c'mon dude be a little excited
The "tiny little hole in the tummy" surgery is called "laparoscopic surgery" if anyone's interested. They actually make a couple holes - one for the camera, or laparoscope, and one or more for the instruments they use to move and cut and suture the tissue. Its also called a "keyhole surgery". My mom had her hysterectomy this way, it really reduced her recovery time considerably.
Anyway. That's your infodump of the day.
The pregnancy one caught my attention. Pregnancy is a scary time for a woman, especially when it's around the time that the baby will be coming. He should be with his wife during that. It's a very serious thing.
Yeah, imagine that (God forbid) his wife and/or child didn't make it due to complications at childbirth, would he then feel ok about not being with them before their time came? Even if nothing happens, she would feel reassured by knowing he's with her at any moment
@Daniel Barnett Exactly! Literally, anything could go wrong during the birth.
Those could very seriously have been their last days together and he would rather be working. I hope it was, but the only reason is that she's divorcing his ass and walking away with 50%
And it's different if he absolutely had to work to pay bills or the boss wouldn't give him time off, but he was getting like 2-3 weeks PAID time off.
And even if the baby doesn’t remember imagine finding out your dad was offered paid time off to come to your birth and declined it and decided not to come anyway because he didn’t think it was important like?? Especially with how he was acting in the post
I once worked with a guy like Tea guy, not fun. He creeped me out pretty fast and he used the "I use to be shy so I'm just trying to help" thing too. Felt more condescending then helpful. Like, I'm shy, not a child.
That woman is not holding out on her coworkers because she distrusts them, she has boundaries. As a mom, it’s really nice to just be seen as an adult sometimes, separate from your family.
Imagining Shane as a Starbucks barista is pretty hard but I feel like he would lowkey kill it
He would be cracking jokes and then start a podcast because all the people who had a crush on him as their barista would tell him to every day
He's quiet and awkward yet perfect for a Starbucks.
Most jacked barista that franchise will never see
I have all the respect in the world for people who can so completely build a wall between personal life and professional life.
But the problem with that entire logic as Shane points out is too maximize your professional career means incorporating your personal life. That’s just a fact. It’s not really fair but it is how it is. Theres just a social expectance that you share a little bit about yourself and your personal life

Shayne’s TNTL game is just that strong
I think it's common for people to find out that women are parents and treat them differently, and especially over the years it kind of becomes exhausting. It sounds like it's really important to her to have that time outside of the house and socializing with other adults but I do think it's sad that culture is such that people feel like they can't share that info without being fully treated differently than men with kids or people without kids.
Yeah statistically women with kids get paid worse and are offered promotions less where men with kids are paid and promoted more. It's wrong but still very much legal in the US
I dont remember my father being bedside but MY MOTHER does. She had EVERYONE rotating through her room, from my paternal grandfather, aunts and uncles, to my maternal grandparents and uncle. Almost everyone has a story from when they sat bedside with my mom. And most of those people don't even LIKE her anymore but everyone speaks fondly of the experience.
i know everyone's already said it but i CANNOT stop watching this series. discovered it only a few weeks ago and i've been rewatching ever since. thanks for the entertainment!
Pam from The Office started pretending she was going into labor to avoid annoying tasks or meetings 😂
In arrested development a lady that was a bad lawyer pretended to be pregnant and would act like she was in labor when she realized she was losing😂
New time binger on this series thanks to a friend showing this to me. They are great background noise for my work!
You should do a Smosh Theater where you act out Reddit stories that would be hilarious!
they did this! it wasn’t a smosh theatre but they acted the stories out
THATS SUCH A FUN IDEA
@@gracaniel Oh really, I didn't know! what video was it?
@@theawesomegamebox513 Thank you!
@@gracaniel They did and it was SO funny! I wish they'd do more!
Shayne mentioning he never worked in the service industry hit me like a ton of bricks like for some reason I feel like everyone’s worked in the service industry
either food service or retail haha
Out of my family members I'm the one who has survived hospitality the longest so pretty proud of myself there lmao
@@hrvbox actually yeah that's really impressive, most of my social skills came from highschool and work. Didn't Shayne have a non conventional schooling? He's incredibly well adjusted for being someone who's been acting since 13
@@hrvbox It's that damn psychology degree. Lmfao
Usually when people haven't it shows. But he's pretty down to earth it seems.
Speaking of cysts lol. Me, my sister, and my mom all had a cyst in the same spot (at the base of our tailbone). Mine burst while i was in pre calculus lol. Recovery was an adventure, i literally had to keep it packed with gauze for months to make sure it didnt heal over and refill with fluid. Taking out and replacing the gauze every day was an adventure
Shaynes “what if i bought donuts and ate them all” would be SUCH a power move
Just saying as someone who has gone through a divorce, if nobody at work knows youre married it saves a lot of painful and uncomfortable questions/conversations if something tragic happens
Tommy is so relatable. I've cried in the walk in freezer at my old job many times. He really is for us.
“She serves, he busses.” Glad we’re starting pride month strong.
Uhh werk
Work.

Best comment
@@jasminehouze I love that your comment says translate to English and it’s the same thing 😂
For the donut guy, why did he automatically assume the two 'spare' donuts were his anyways? What about the other 10 coworkers presently there? Even if the pregnant lady didnt show, it doesnt mean those donuts were his.
“Getting promoted due to her contribution to mediocrity” 😂😂😂 that was a villain line
I was serving in Iraq on deployment & I made sure I was home when my twins were born. As the husband I didn’t need to be there, but I couldn’t imagine missing the first time I heard my son crying, that is when I was like OMG I’m a DAD. Plus one of my kids had to get flown an hour away to a NICU, something we weren’t expecting. Seriously how could any man not want to be there.
Its actually weird how if you MEET at a job, new friendship and life long relationships (platonic or romantic) can form. But if you are ALREADY dating or married, and then work together, its a fucking nightmare and ruins everything lol
I feel like it’s cause when you meet at a job you’ve already learned how to work well together. Likely you were great coworkers to each other first, and then the relationship formed.
Vs being together and the starting a job you have no idea of how to work together in a job environment.
Plus especially when one of you already was working there?? You would join and immediately gravitate towards them and can end up isolating yourself from other coworkers and smothering each other.
A bar I walked in had "the crying Fridge", a walk in fridge where staff went to cry, it helped that the cold kept the swelling down from crying.... 😐
I want a video where Shayne just tries to eat a box of donuts before the office gets to the kitchen
The “cysts” guy story feels a little like petty revenge and it’s hilarious
I have been through this procedure and the recovery, and use petty revenge as much as you want. You have to share the butt hurt.
@@olingecko yo same! I remember the first time I had to get a cyst drained it was huge and hurt like a bitch, I had it for years but it always came and went without much trouble 'til then. the other two times still stunk though: one on my stomach was so sore after and the second one messed up my pants because it hadn't stopped bleeding ( it was only the inside and it came out easy).
@@kur0t0synthi had one the size of a quarter on the very top back of my thigh, right under my butt, and i remember so clearly the betrayal of my mom making me lay on my stomach to see it and SWEARING she wasnt going to touch it because it hurt so much, and then suddenly squeezing the absolute daylight out of it to drain it. my memory is extremely bad, but that moment, the excruciating pain, and my crying afterwards is seared into my brain
AFAIR, it healed up fine and didnt come back afterwards so i guess she technically did the right thing lmao
@@ashleyjohnson9651 DAMN, my mom had tried like that but I'm too aware of the cyst and pain to just let it happen 😭😭
@@kur0t0synth i think that was part of why she had me lay the way i did lol. i probably wasnt more than 10 or 11 years old and there wasnt an easy way for me to quickly squirm away like that if i started having second thoughts 😂
The “I️ Hide My Personal Life at Work” person could have trauma, could be a DV victim, could have had a stalker in the past, etc. People are allowed to keep whatever they want private in the workplace!!! I️ get wanting to know more about someone but that does not EVER overshadow boundaries of that person, regardless of their reasoning.
Spencer: “Doughnuts here will last well into the day.”
Tommy, with a 50 yard stare of a Nam veteran: “Absolutely…”
The pregnant wife one.
My dad fell asleep for a bit while my mom was in labor with my younger brother, there's still debate on whether or not he woke up on time to see the birth.
It's been 27 years and my mom STILL guilts him about it. It's not at all about the kid, it's about supporting your spouse in a significant moment of pain, happiness and vulnerability- that you as the other parent participated in.
Your kid won't remember, but your wife always will
34:27 it’s Pam from The Office! She fakes going into labor to get out of work so much that they escalate to pretending like her water broke. Great reference, love y’all’s Reddit videos!
I swear, every woman or female presenting person whos ever worked in an office setting or anywhere really, has had the experience with an older co-worker being too friendly/creepy/stalkerish... i can not believe that man tried to report her to hr for not being friendly
utterly disgusting
IKR
Just want to say that Shayne’s Ron Swanson impression was on point. It wasn’t just the voice - his face morphed into Nick Offerman.
Another impression for a future Funeral Roast!
The show Spencer referenced where a pregnant woman is using going into labor to avoid work is The Office. Pam consistently pretends to be in labor so she can avoid meetings and conversations, it's hilarious.
The last one
SHAYNE’S REACTION WAS AMAZING
JUST HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO READ IT WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN IN LAUGHTER😂😂😂😂❤❤
For the post about the woman who doesn’t wanna share anything at work, I don’t think she should have felt bad or made amends for anything. No one is entitled to that information. I work in a library and have fantastic work relationships with people I know the absolute bare minimum (or nothing at all) about.
Lol! As a person who worked with family at “we are like one big family” restaurant is was HELLLL. But that walk in freezer comment is so real.
I gotta say I really love Spencer and Kiana’s friendship, it’s so wholesome
I’m so glad that crying in the walk-in freezer at your Italian restaurant job is a universal experience 😭✨
Add to that, crying while dumping mouldy marinara sauce down the grease trap in the dish pit
Tommy's "It's a great place to cry!" hit with so much relatable pain behind his eyes...
ppl are criticising the mom for not doing her job well bc she didn’t network by sharing details abt her personal life, but it’s no one’s business if she doesn’t want it to be lmao. this doesn’t involve anyone but her.
I’ve worked in many places where you get to know your coworkers and vice-versa to a point where you personally consider them your friends but as soon as you’re let go, they act like you don’t exist anymore which led me to be more closed off over the years at work. I valued the “friendship” more than they did, once I was no use to them, I might as well be dead. Maybe she just doesn’t want to experience that type of hurt again.
The one where the person didn't want to talk about her personal life - totally get it!! A lot of times you get f-ed over if you give up too much of your personal life! And I really do think that if she were a man who just was quiet about his personal life it wouldn't have been an issue.
I don't like to share any of my personal life or thoughts at work when two specific co-workers are around, because anything you say is basically giving them an excuse to say something mean towards you. Say something and you're guaranteed a mean response, criticism, a hurtful mockery, because it's not coming from a friendly place (I mean, they probably think it is), but from believing they're the smartest and everyone else is dumb. No matter what you say or do, they'll make you think it was stupid. Setting direct boundaries is useless and the only boundary I can actually set is to just not limit my interractions with them and keep conversation as vague as possible.
👏👏👏👏
@Monicalia 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Also, Melinda isn't just wierd, she's a creep, sitting in front of you computer and going to that length to find someone is so creepy, also we could better see that if it were a man who looked for a woman that way
Just to adress the cyst stuff... Tommy said that after the surgery it's not gonna happen again because of scar tissue... Not entirely true. I had it happen twice, had surgery for it twice (both times been out of commision for over 3 months, 2 years apart), and after the second time had hair removel therapy to prevent it from happening again in that area (which was already recommended the first time I had surgery). So, check your posture and also, it can 'just' happen even if you're carefull!
HOW did we go this entire episode without Shayne saying “…work”??? 😂
