In just a few seconds the woman at Hermes pointed out bad corporate policy, illustrated the problem, explained why it was bad, called on the company to change it, positively acknowledged the companies that have made that chance while offering potential Hermes buyers a viable and easily accessible alternative. Without being aggressive or judgemental towards buyers that may be unaware of the problem. I am impressed. Put that woman in charge of something.
@@mapletree1023hate to be that guy, but the earliest crocodilian evolved around 95 million years ago so....I think their facts are pretty accurate don't you think?
You know what was honestly inspiring to me? I was once a middle school teacher. I used to keep pads for girls who needed them. I had a student who needed one. She didn't whisper when she asked. She didn't hide the fact that she needed one. I never saw a girl who gave fewer f*@$s. She boldly took it, stuck it in her back pocket and went on with her day. She had no shame about something she had no control over.
Respect to you for keeping those on ya, I know some teach’s (male 🙄) that wouldn’t be caught dead even buying them (all the female teachers have ‘em.) Whenever I’m given one (by anyone) I just take it outta their hand and hold it in my hand. I don’t put it in my pocket, I don’t hide it in my sleeve, I simply hold it while walking to the bathroom.
I went to an ALL GIRLS SCHOOL and we didn't even have kids like that. Mad respect. I was in high school 2006 - 2010. So much has changed since then, and this is one of the rare good changes, imo.
i was the same way. a boy knocked my oursde over and the pads fells out. instantly he was shyly looking away. i calmly picked them up, told him it was fine and sat back down. i didnt blush, didnt get flustered. i didnt care. we all bleed. deal with it.
When my son was about 15 I got a call from him while I was at work so he could tell me he was going to walk to the store and then go to a female friend house(so I would know where he was) it was about to get dark out and I asked why when it was getting dark, his response made me so proud... he was going because his female friend needed pads and chocolate and was in pain but didn't have anyone who could drive to the store, so he wanted to help her out.i lived that he did not care what it was and was willing to just go get it and help in her time of need. I'm one proud momma😊
You raising a real one there, mama. My husband is the first man in my life to make periods "normal"... I was also raised in the south and the taboo was real. Good job, ma! 🎉
Good job kiddo (and momma too). My Godson is exactly like this. There's only 6 weeks between him and my daughter. They're 16 now and he's always been so supportive in THESE moments. Lots of other times too but when it comes to "lady problems", any young man that is strong and compassionate enough to just help get period products or not behave ridiculous and embarrassed about it- deserves a well done and a good job! Very proud of these young guys
I love going to buy period products without a bag. Walking out of the store make sure to look men in the eyes very serious. The fear in their eyes when they see my pack of pads gives me fleeting joy in a period of sadness. Pun intended 🤣 I refuse to be embarrassed
this man at walmart looked so disgusted and offended when i asked my friend “hey can we check out period panties while we’re here?” like which word hurt you sir? period, or panties? 😂
Not that related to your comment, but... My coworker's teenager son never had problems buying period product for his mom, never, even if he needed to carry them around without a bag. Really, no shame whatsoever, which I can only applaud. But he always refused to buy a toilet paper, to the point the slamming door would be involved and him not speaking to her for a day. So I asked her why. She told me he said: "Everybody knows that I'm not going to use those period products and that I'm buying them for somebody else, but for toilet paper, they will think it's for me." So, I was like 🤦♀and said: "But it is for both of you. And everybody uses it." She just shrugged and said: "Teenagers." Since we don't work together any more, I can't ask her if, as an adult, he still has the same problem with buying toilet paper.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We have periods, everyone knows that. My partner never had a problem with buying pads for me while going shopping alone. Once I didn't specify what kind I want so he bought few different types 😂 If you see guys behaving weirdly seeing pads,that says everything you need to know about them
I remember glass milk and soft drink bottles, that you returned to the Store or the Milkman. Paper Bags too. Now everything is Plastic and us old timers get blamed😂😂 We recycled before it was Cool. Most everything in my Kitchen is now Glass. Glass milk bottles ( Found on internet & Love them) Canning Jars for Canning and Storing Food. Only thing used with plastic is bags are used for Garbage and Gallon Purified Water, that the container, when empty, is used for Plants.
We have plastic bags here in Finland, but we learned a long time ago that you can use a plastic bag more than once. We also recycle. We also have cloth reusable bags, paper bags and reusable and plastic bags made from recycled plastic and the normal plastic bags. We also have biodegradable plastic bags, or biobags. They are environmentally friendly. So maybe you could learn something there about recycling. The fast food places do have paper bags, but you can recycle those too. By the way, we sort and recycle household waste too. Cardboard, paper, metals, glass, plastic, bio-waste and mixed waste. It's not difficult at all. Sure, the big pile of bags sometimes annoys me, but it's a small thing when you think how much good you can do just by sorting your waste.
I've never understood the taboo around periods, it happens. I live alone and sometimes end up with a girl at my house whether it's for a one night stand, or just a friend visiting. Every single one of those has noticed that I keep a small range of female sanitary products in my bathroom, and ask if there is a woman living here. The look on their faces when I say that I bought them, in case any woman who visits might need them is priceless. Just a notice to any bachelor's out there, if you are inviting ladies back to your house, a little thought to their needs can go a long way.
I got my period while at work and my job only had tampons and I had never used one so what did I do I got my phone out and rang up one of my guy friends (FtM trans) and he walked me through how to put one in while he was on speaker so If anyone walked in they would've heard a grown ass man explaining how to put a tampon in properly
I'm almost 50 years old, and you're the first guy I've ever known to do that. It's very kind and thoughtful of you. Not to say you're the only one. Just the only one I've known of. Kudos! 👏🏻
have a male friend who does it too. he even asked me questions about pads one time. it is bizarre even for us girls when we only start the period journey and dont have family who uses it
I never understood being embarrassed about buying period products. Even as a teen it never bothered me. My friends would send me to go down the aisle and get what they wanted and pay for it. Still remember one male cashier who started snickering when he saw the boxes. My mom just died at my comment to him… “I’m a grown woman, if you haven’t realized that women need these then I think you need to go back to sex ed.” I bought from him many times and he never behaved like that again. So hopefully it helped him get over his nerves. I also can’t tell you how many times I’ve been stopped and asked what’s best to get by a perplexed male who just been told to “pick up pads”. I think they see that I have no qualms being in that aisle and can be approached. It’s kinda fun to help them.
Every time I've had a male partner/friend feel awkward about picking me up pads, when for some reason I need _them_ to do it, I always just say, off-handedly, "Dean Winchester wouldn't be embarrassed." Bc you know it's true; you can just see the guy getting rung up at a gas station, & handing a box of tampons thru w.o. blinking, between the beer & the car-snacks. And since most guys who are uncomfy with it are hung up on weird gender-essentialism issues, & Dean is arguably one of the stereotypically masculine figures in modern pop-culture, it usually works pretty well.
Because some people get harassed when buying them It’s also nobody’s damn business I’m glad you feel comfortable with buying period products Some people get bulged by their own family members for having periods They get shamed for having them
My sperm donor used to try to shame me for having a period... So of course I kept the package if pads out on the counter for all to see. I would have been embarrassed, but my pathological demand avoidance and me living on spite alone said "Nah. Screw that. Make his uncomfortable. Make him sit with his man baby feefees and get told to grow up by both me and Ma. This is as natural as peeing. Screw him. Suffer you useless child in a grown man's body."
I knew for certain my sister married a good one when he called my niece (his stepdaughter) from the period aisle and loudly started reading what was available in each section of products, just to make sure he got her the right sht. He’s asking if she wants wings, does she need supers, which brand, just completely comfortable buying a teenage girl period sht.
Quite jealous of that. That is a confident and reassuring man. It would make me feel less embarrassed because he isnt making a big deal about it and just knows it's a part of life. Yall got lucky!!!
@@h.s.6269 ikr. He thinks the sun rises and sets on my big sister. He basically became dad for her 1st daughter and when I once told him my sister was lucky to have a husband that adored her so much (both me and my sister had deadbeat dads) he told me that actually he was the lucky one. He’s an awesome guy. I’m a single mom and my kid’s dad tries but has issues, my brother in law has stepped up to be a fatherly role model for my kid. He comes over and fixes sht at my house for us & is basically more family to me then actual family. I’m someone who hasn’t had a lot of faith in men or fathers, and dude helped restore faith that there are decent men and fathers out there.
@@Comrade_mommy I'm glad he stepped up to help out in such a way. Kids really need male role models very active in their lives. If the father won't, hopefully a grandpa or uncle (like your situation) steps in. Men are capable of amazing things like this, they just often forget it with society expecting so little of them. As a society we need to demand better imo. It's like how we also have the situation where most black kids' only dreams are to be a rapper or in the NBA/NFL. No one encourages them while they are young that they can be a doctor, cancer scientist, engineer, electrician, etc. And no one makes it sound cool to be one of those, adults only ever talk about rappers, money, gangs, and sports, so the kids idolize those goals. We need to raise the bar higher, over time they would aim higher. But for decades we've been lowering the bar instead. Not meaning this in any ill intent on them, I genuinely want the community to thrive instead of self destruct.
The Hermes one really bothered me because I am so horrified at animal abuse. I applaud this young woman for having the compassion for these animals and the guts to try to make a difference. Bravo!
Story time: So back when I worked at Starbucks we would constantly have people order the wrong thing, because of multiple reasons but my number one theory is that people are dumb. That’s fine, nothing wrong with that, I’ve been dumb before too. But like I can’t call someone an idiot for ordering the wrong thing, because then I would get fired. However this one time my coworker and I were barring together and he handed her the iced coffee she ordered. This is the exchange that follows: Her: This isn’t what I wanted. Him: Okay, then what did you want? Her: A vanilla bean frappe. Him: Okay. Her friend: Then why did you order that? My coworkers and I: *trying our hardest to remain silent* Once they left we burst out laughing. We couldn’t say it, but I’m sure glad her friend did.
I worked at Starbucks during the morning shifts and this would happen all the time! It was worse when they were on the phone 🙄 and they act like it’s your fault
@@yelisserobles5371 I only do mobile orders just to avoid confusion or miscommunication between me and the barista, and so far it has happened twice that the barista had hand me a wrong drink. Now I just drive extra few minutes and get my drink at coffee Bean, sometimes at Peet's.
The blonde thing kills me. I have (as told by several hair colourists) Level 6/7 ash blonde hair, Yet 3 women with level 1-3 roots with fried platinum hair have laughed when I call myself blonde and said essentially "You're not blonde honey, you just wish you were." Like no, honey, that's literally your actual problem, don't be over here projecting your problems on me.
Lucky! And if you did decide to go a lighter blonde it would probably be really easy and wouldn't fry your hair. My pfp is old I am no longer blonde because of frying my hair. I think I'm a level 5. Still pretty dark and I don't have strong hair so yeah back to brunette for me. 😢I liked being blonde but the upkeep and damage was ridiculous.
I’m a hairstylist. I’m actually a level 8 strawberry blonde naturally with about 50% of that turning gray now. Total ginger as a kid and I hated it. My natural was just a little lighter than Charlotte’s actually as a kid. I wish my natural was what I had as a kid now. I always wanted to be a natural brunette. Even as a hairstylist I don’t understand the obsession with dark brunettes wanting to be platinum. Embrace that gorgeous chocolate y’all! It’s so much maintenance and damage to the hair.
@@leerinbigham7565 I wish I could. Lol 😂 If I didn't have so many grays I would probably leave my hair alone. I'm not going blonde again any time soon but I do plan to go Burgundy soon. Only semi- permanent color though. I'm hoping when it fades out it will just leave my hair with some warmer tones to it and look pretty. Depending on how much I like that I'll decide where to go from there.
@@leerinbigham7565 Born a dark chocolate brunette and loved it. Closest thing I ever got to blonde was some caramel highlights when the gray first arrived. Quit coloring years ago, rocking my salt & pepper until I work up to full silver fox.
I worked at a place for ten years. At a certain time there were a lot of people who were buying and selling, ahem, mind altering substances. One day I realized I didn’t have tampons in my bag so I asked my friend for one and as she handed it to me, my male supervisor walked by and then stopped and said “what’s that?” I held it above my head and loudly said “a tampon”! He shifted his eyes and quietly shuffled away. I guess he thought it was a drug deal lol.
5% window tint. It’s just dark tint. She probably saw their shadows move and realized there was someone in there 🤣 That dude joking about tampons in a condescending tone made my blood pressure rise 😆
I think she's trans, doesn't excuse her bullshit. It's not funny, tampons suck, and the whole monthly hell is a misery she's NEVER going to have to deal with.
@@draconicfeline6177 it’s a fuckin tampon. Chill. If you feel attacked because a trans woman bought some tampons and is “playing” with one then you need to do some soul searching and figure out why you feel so triggered.
Im a guy just to clarify. Just the other week I was getting fairly large boxes of pads for both my sisters and mother. a lot of there circles over lap and I think it's just easier to buy at least a couple months worth of pads that way thier not worrying about it plus it's cheaper in the long run . Now the store I got them from is a small corner store that was just a block away they didn't have any bags left so I just walked home with them in public and I got mad stares from old men and women . They looked (especially the men ) so offended that I a gay man was buying tampons for my family ...like bro mind you're fucking business.
I always laugh at the awkwardness of periods with men. My dad would always go “I don’t want to know, just tell me what you need” and then when I cashiered, one moment sticks out of a guy buying just a box of tampons, and as I rang it up, the only words were “these aren’t for me.” In a nervous voice. Like you sweet summer child, I didn’t think they were but I wouldn’t judge if they were! Light tampons are great for gushing nosebleeds!
My brother was never bothered about buying them for me or my mom. I remember someone said how good he was and he was just like "Who cares, it not exactly like theyre for me anyway."
Periods have never bothered me. I live alone and always make sure that I keep a small range of feminine sanitary products in my bathroom, just in case I have any female guests who might need them.
RE: Your period story. A guy friend was in the lineup at the drugstore and saw a female friend of his. He saw that she had her tax form packet in her hand. He said "oh I see it's that time again" She blushed. It was then he realized she had tampons in her other hand.
i recently saw a post on fb about someone gatekeeping sign language....no joke. my friend is not deaf, but her mother was. therefore sign language is part of her every day life. after her mom passed away, she started giving small sign language classes online and posts on tiktok signing everything as she talks. the way this person came after my friend because she's not deaf and using sign language......and my friend has adapted sign language to HER speech, which means not every sign is accurate.....people still understand her. it was just insane. ASL is "american" sign language, it adapts to how people speak just like we have our own ways of speaking with accents and whatnot. every language has it's OWN sign language and there are "universal signs" that encompass every language. people need to stop gatekeeping.
@@KittyyKhaos or just avoid wanting to signal that you killed another living being...And Fake fur is made of plastic and leak microplast ALL the time...
@16poetisa that may be true. I didn't say invasive. There are different television shows one is literally named Swamp People. About a group or different families living in Florida and Louisiana and different areas like that where there is swamps and alligators. And their literal job is to hunt and kill alligators. They show you where you're supposed to shoot them so you can get the most out of their skin they show you how you're supposed to bake them and catch them so that way you can kill them. It's a bunch of Backwoods people living in the swamp killing alligators
Recently I had that conversation with my family when they were telling me that I had distanced myself from them from adolescens until a few years back (I am 40). "Why would I come when you barated me for everything all the time?" There was silence, nods and not much more. "Now we are cool, now we respect each other, we love each other and not out of obligation, now we're good" It was a good convo. It brought my relationship with tose relatives to a new, healthier, more loving level. Of course, it took 20 years, but let's hope it takes less for everyone else.
Everyone wondering how the girl with the nails could walk around like that while I'm wondering: How did she clean anything, including herself, with those nails?
I get my nails done regularly every 3 weeks, and if I go any longer than that, they start to break off. I’m just impressed she was able to keep them on that long 😂 but for the record, we do everything normally just like everyone else. Only thing that’s a struggle is putting on necklaces, those stupid tiny clasps 😩
I wondered the same thing because they remaining 4 were hanging on by a thread (it looked like it would hurt if they bent back because it would be her nail, not the gel nail, that would bend and break 😕 how did she do anything - wash dishes, laundry, clean, text, type ...literally anything? Props to her for sticking to her guns I guess, I would have given up way sooner!
Pharmacies here (Ireland) have always had paper bags as long as I can remember... so the restrictions on plastic bags didn't compromise our privacy. But my Dad, who used to routinely leave used condoms in the bathroom when I was a kid, had my mother haul me aside to tell me how disgusting I was at 13 because I left a used sanitary pad (wrapped up) in the bathroom ONCE... so maybe we need to walk down the street with our tampons and pads... normalise them or something.
It makes sense to forget a pad in the process of changing if you’re distracted, but what’s the excuse for leaving used condoms in the bathroom? Happy they didn’t manage to make you feel ashamed of a normal bodily function
This infuriates me so much. When I was a kid my friend's dad left pron on even though we were in the room, it would just be blasted in the living room. That friend ended up losing her virginity when she was twelve to of course an older boy and bragged about it as some kind of accomplishment even though she admitted that it was super painful. Fathers need to do better 😡
I have to say, the relationship between the guy at 8:19 and the little kid is obviously a very trusting one and its lovely to see. The kid showed no discomfort when being confronted which just shows he trusts this person implicitly. I loved the little agreeing "k!" at the end, such a cutie 💜
I've cooked for others for 43 years. If anyone is kind enough to cook for me, I am beyond thankful. Sloppy Joes, beef Wellington, dry as the desert chicken, I don't care. If I didn't have to make it, I love it. Thank you kind person for nourishing me.
I just want to say that as someone who tried to wear a pom pom on my fingernail it is literally the most high maintenance/ exxxxtra/ anxiety inducing nail accessory. I lost and found it 3 times within 20 minutes of leaving my nail appointment and one last final time when I got home, never to be found again. (For those wondering: It was affixed by a tiny magnet, one on the pom and one glued to my nail for easy removal to wash hands.)
The first video just makes me so grateful for my family, usually we make family Thanksgiving & Christmas a pajama party but everyone who wants to dress up does & whoever doesn't doesn't & "dressing up" usually means a sparkly shirt or nice sweater with our yoga pants or leggings.
I stopped being "embarrased" buying pads, asking for pads and asking whether i have a stain on what im wearing. Its natural, most women go thru it, we cant stop it. It shouldnt be treated as taboo because it will just produce people who dont know anything about it like the one on the vid, or like the guy who was so confident that pads sticks to your vag instead of your undies
So the sister was apparently more bothered that her clothing was casual wear as as opposed to the fact that it had a pretty obvious blasphemous message/imagery on it lol. We dress up for Holiday dinners because we're Latinos and like to dress up just to sit around the living room lol, but we'd never make someone feel uncomfortable for wearing something casual.
I hated dressing up for holiday dinners. I'm one of those people that the messier the food is, the more likely I'll end up wearing it. I don't try to spill on myself, it just happens. And I'd get yelled at enough for it happening on regular clothes. Multiply that several times on dressy clothes. Once I moved out of my parent's house, I said screw it and wore casual clothes after that. And what could they do, I didn't live under their roof any more, they couldn't dictate what I wore.
I doubt it was because it was a sweatshirt. It was definitely the message, she just wouldn't admit it, which is disingenuous. However, there's a time and place to be edgy, and Thanksgiving with the family ain't it. This chick with the sweatshirt is acting like a pizza cutter: all edge, no point! Back in the 80s, I had a college art class where the assignment was to create a 3-D mixed media piece. I made a sculpture of a very jolly Santa Claus nailed to a cross that had logos of every major toy company and designer clothing brand I could think of. The teacher hated it, not because it wasn't well crafted, but because it offended her religion. "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." ~Cesar A. Cruz (unless your art teacher is evangelical) She missed my point, that as a person who finds meaning in the Gospels that promote love, charity and kindness, I don't see how commercialism and corporate greed promote those principles.
@@LazyIRanch I agree in thinking she (girl being filmed) was being disingenuous. Thought I think the other chic's point was possibly to irritate her family (she may just really not like God and wanted to pick that specific Holiday to be a troll). Who knows. It may not have been the sister's intention (one being filmed), but her approach did come off pretentious and somewhat judgmental. As a Christian myself, when you do speak to someone in regard to their different beliefs, I think it should come from a HUMBLE approach and place of love if you truthfully care for that person (as we're called to by Christ). Now I don't know the chic's family background, so I'm unsure of who how the actual homeowners (possibly their parents) personally feel about the message on her shirt. We've had people who weren't Christian accompany us to dinner at our house, and they simply respect the fact that it's a Catholic household and we don't allow any sort of blasphemous or demonic imagery (things of the like) in the house. We don't push our beliefs on anybody, nor do I shy away from the topic if it's relevant and the conversation stays respectful on both sides. Needless to day... Holidays and family drama seem to go hand in hand unfortunately.
@@jenagrippa9632 I dress up to go to the grocery store lol. By dress up I mean you just won't catch me in PJs going anywhere (was raised to look presentable even when casual wherever I go). I have friends who dress casually all the time and make it look cute though. Didn't know that about Vancouver (good to know).
Single use plastic bags were phased out here in Australia a couple of years back, however reusable plastic bags and paper bags were phased in whilst the others were phased out... during the big bad Kmart ran out heaps though and that was such a pain in the butt
Also, our pharmacists put what we purchase in paper bags, so phasing out plastic didn't bother them as they were already using paper bags. But what about the $12 for a box of tampons!! They have a luxury tax on their sanitary products, just as we used to until it was dropped. There is NOTHING luxurious about having your period. The government make a KILLING in taxes from that. Christ on a bike!!
@@TaureanTrish PREACH!! You’re so right that was such a win, imo we ought to be giving them out in schools and then just continue on from there (I’m hoping the gen z men will be more considerate than the men in charge now - could you imagine if we asked for free sanitary goods lol, don’t get me wrong our pollies seem a lot better than the USA have in regards to women’s issues but we’re not quite at subsidised period items yet) But yeah after however many years of buying my own and another 5-10 buying them for my 2 daughters I’m certain there’s far better things I could’ve put than money towards for their futures lol
@@scarletspidernz And worse than that, we did away with plastic shopping bags because it takes 100 years for them to degrade. So they brought out those reusable cloth-ish ones. They're made with an oil by-product and they NEVER degrade. What were they thinking?? They're still being produced today as well?!?! 😡
@@scarletspidernz I have remembered my (actually 10) reusable bags exactly 3 times. I don’t “plan shopping” it’s more when I’m out or in a rush so I use whatever bags are at the store or pay for them
I had a picture of my sister and me on my FB page and for the longest time girls were thinking I was trying to date behind her back and would have nothing to do with me until I got "called out" at work and said "That's my sister..." and well... I got a lot of apologies and people started being more friendly.
Thank you so much for this information! This is the retrospective people often lack when they judge some solutions without realizing what was their original purpose.
Well.. no, that's only sort of true. Right now the ideal that we're pushing isn't paper bags either. It's CLOTH bags, which can be reused for eternity. Paper bags, while some may be able to last for a couple uses, are still a disposable item. Better than plastic, yes, but they're not what we're going for now.
@@ankhels I like this trend. Fabric bags were used in USSR until its collapse 1991. Plastic bags were a fashion item. Cool people had one or two plastic bags, used them to show off, carefully stored them in between uses, even washed them sometimes. Until this day many Russians store and reuse all plastic and paper bags. A "bag with bags" is a well-known feature in their houses.
I think calling out someone's religion passive-agressively is also 'not letting them be themselves'... But, we don't know the history, maybe the family is pushing it on her too... 🤔
My mom and I have a little joke we make when either of us burns food. We refer to it as "Cajun style" and try to eat around the burnt parts as much as possible. And the parts we can't eat still don't go to waste because my dogs aren't very picky. Lol
i live in hawaii and they banned plastic bags a couple years ago.. i always forget my damn bag so the amount of reusable bags that i now own is absolutely ridiculous.. 🤦🏽♀️
Lol yeah, they tried to ban plastic bags here in SA, then relented a little and now we have to pay for them, but some retailers only sell reusable bags. I have 4 in my car, 3 in my handbag, oodles stuffed in the pantry, some hanging from my coat rack, we all have soooo many.
@@LiRoKnox I’ll be praying for you and sending all the good vibes! Be sure to stay hydrated! Liquid diet helps with that. Good luck bestie! Lots of rest.
Here in Australia pharmacies have always had paper bags, but even when plastic bags were banned other stores have paper bags or reusable bags available (some charge for the bags, others don't). How did they not think to replace the plastic bags with an alternative?
In UK they started with charging us for plastic bags, as a first step towards the full ban (though technically it was only supposed to be retailers over a certain size and sq footage). The greedy bastards decided this meant they could charge us for the *paper bags* they were supposed to be encouraging us to use as well though. What really annoyed me was the stores that had previously given them to you for free jumping on the bandwagon.
@@HulaHula667 Yeah that's happened in NZ too... though I think the idea behind charging for paper bags is that it's supposed to encourage you to bring your own reusable bag, as paper bags are still bad for the environment in their own way. Sucks when you forget to pack a reusable one, or have an unplanned requirement. I keep a bunch of them in my car, lightweight folded ones in my purse etc.
@KT I have shit in my car. I had to quickly run into Walmart on my way home from work and had no bags... I didn't want to cart everything inside in -20° so it's still in my car from last night, I just keep on grabbing things from the trunk and bringing them in when I need to run out somewhere 😅 it's freaking freezing in Canada right now 🥶
I love this Charlotte. Laughter is the best medicine and your boyfriend is lucky to have you. Peace and positivity over drama and negativity. You became a best friend to me. Stay warm up there where you live. I always enjoy a good laugh. A sense of humor is always good for heart health and mental health. Keep up the good work. Awesome editing. Much love to you my Canadian friend.
I’m on my third straight day of watching nothing but Charlotte’s videos and I’m not even remotely close to burn out or tired of them. I love her so so much. She’s amazing.!!!!!
My best friend is Native, and we both have a VERY twisted sense of humor, so Thanksgiving has become the day where we make up different names for the day that more accurately describe the original event. Our current favorite is "National 'this is why you don't feed strays' day"
Years ago there was a Canadian show on the Nickelodeon network called, “You Can’t Do That On Television”. I remember one joke that went: Did you know that the “Indians” introduced Europeans to turkeys and tobacco - and the turkeys have been smokin’ the tobacco ever since!
In my country we also don’t have plastic bags (for some years now actually), but you can get paper ones. However, almost everyone always bringes their own tote bags everywhere 🎉 great to see people change their habits like this!
Here in Spain the pharmacy uses paper bags and will quite often wrap up sensitive items in paper for discretion. They also give you a present at Christmas 🙂
WHAT? No seriously go to my pharmacy every 2 weeks.. or less (chronic health problems at 36 years old, yay). I got my Pharmacist, who works at a mom and pop shop, a Christmas gift these past few years because he goes above and beyond for me and I’m so grateful. But wrapping up sensitive items and giving you a gift? I’m about to move to Spain. I’ve always wanted to learn the language and experience the culture.
Our pharmacies around here put Rx meds in small white paper bags, and I hope they never stop doing that! I have a little Senegal parrot who LOVES those bags, his favorite toy. I'll put a peanut or almond in the shell inside the bag and he makes a big show of attacking and shredding the bag to find his prize. Spain sounds like a lovely place. I follow a channel on UA-cam of a chef in Spain who teaches easy but authentic Spanish cuisine, "Spain on a Fork". I've learned some good techniques from him, and he's adorable too!
@@susanmichelle3292 it's ace, lovely country 💜 This year I got a full size hand cream and shower gels from the pharmacy in one village and two bottles of hand wash from the other. It's a nice touch ☺️☺️ I have chronic health problems too, sending you a virtual hug 🤗
@@mariaald todos las farmacias aquí en Cantabria los hacen. Utilizo tres farmacias en los pueblos de mi barrio y todos me han dado algo 💜 ( disculpas mi español, estoy aprendiendo)
I can relate to the dry roast. My mother used to be a decent cook, but as she has gotten older her cooking has gone downhill. When she makes a roast, it is cooked beyond death. It is so dry it’s frightening. She cooks red meat so it is beyond well done because she likes it well done and we should too. We don’t eat a lot of her cooking any more. She cooks chicken till it’s dry and stringy. Eating is always an adventure in what are we choking on tonight.
LOLOL When you were telling the story how your brother's "Daddy's Dry Roast" offended you guys's Dad. And how your Dad handled it. I see where you get your Pettiness From! 🤣
Charlotte Dobre, you said in a video that you became aware that you talk out of one side of your mouth more than the other. I do, too!!! I used to feel so self-conscious about it! I think it's adorable on you and have since mentioned to my bestie. She told me it was one of her favorite things but that it's never captured in pictures! I absolutely melted!!! You are beautiful inside and out, lady!!!
Get an old Hermes saddle. Worth it. More useful than a new bag. I inherited my coaches old neglected Hermes dressage saddle. It's still wow. Picked up a used good condition forward seat for @$400. Amazing how they make you feel like Brent Spiner...and I've sat a few good saddles. So glad to see the pro alligator lady. Had no idea, but was not surprised, as all elite companies like this have nasty secrets. Cheers.
I don’t like using animal skin either-but I find it funny that the same people complaining about this have no problem wearing/using leather or having fur trim on stuff.
I see both sides to the story on the young lady with inappropriate dress for Thanksgiving. Number one I’m just glad that she’s there participating with her family that’s on one side, on the other side, she obviously has never cooked a meal and a lot of hard work goes into it so a little bit of respect is appreciated
Exactly! I feel like this is something that should be relayed to us when we are younger, so as we get older we don't feels shamed or embarrassed by it. I remember being told off by my father for throwing my wrapped pads away like it was something I had to hide
9:47 yup. “What 5% does” is referring to the tint of the car. The lower the number, the stronger the tint, so 5% is basically like one way glass lol. That’s why she had to get so close to see them😂😂.
Girl, I loved the story of you walking the streets with a box of tampons 😂 Imagine running into fans asking for a pic, I can’t ☠️ I’d love you all the more!
Plastic bags were banned in NZ ages ago and most shops have alternatives (usually paper), but also heaps of places have reusable bags for sale within the store. My favourite are the ones that scrunch up into little bags! That way I can just chuck a couple in my handbag.
She was wrong about A LOT of things! When will activists learn to stop bullshitting. I mean people are eating it up coz like "killing animals is bad" (when it suits them... I'm sure every one of them is Vegi/Vegan 🙄) But if people actually spend a min to check these so called "facts" it makes anything legitimate anyone says about animal conservation have less weight. 😖
I love that you speak so loudly about your period. I freaking love it. Did you hear about Mikaela Shiffrin talking about it in an interview with some Austrian tv guys and they didn't get it and translated it to smth completely wrong! We laughed our asses off. She said she's a bit tired during her monthly cycle and he translated that she's tired bc of her bycicle training 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2023 is the year of Charlotte...i hope she gets 2M subscribers this year. She deserves a lot of success and recognition. I appreciate her Channel so much. ♥️
Charlotte you can never be replaced. Happy that you have your own channel but just saying that I miss you at the other one and the way you presented the content. That being said YOU ARE A GEM.
In Belgium we banned plastic bags years ago. Even before it was an official rule, a lot of stores didn’t hand them out anymore. It’s mind blowing that Canada just banned it now. I thought you guys did that years ago as well as part of environmental change goals for plastic use 😅
Honestly, it's been forever where I live in Canada. I think she is from Toronto, so maybe she lives somewhere on the outskirts. Also it wasn't JUST Justin Trudeau it was like a nation wide movement to help preserve the earth. She is the first person from Canada (and I am from Alberta if you know you know) I have EVER heard gripe about it.
Yeah it's been a thing in New Zealand for years. Bring your reusables or stash it in your purse. You can get little fold up bags that can fit in your purse or have clips to attach to your key chain or whatever. Most places have the option of a paper bag but that's not usually needed. I can't imagine leaving the house without a bag big enough for a box of tampons but maybe that's just me.
Don’t be ashamed of having your period! It is a ducking horror, but instead of hiding it and contributing to the stigma - just embrace that it is a hell you’re going through and help normalize the realistic woman who complains! And if men get grossed out, remind them that 50% of the world share your suffering ❤️❤️
That’s my thing, I don’t shove my religion down peoples throat, that being said don’t be disrespectful about my religion. I don’t care what you believe in, don’t disrespect me and I won’t disrespect you.
the way she acted she didn't even want the other person to talk to her. i thought it was a great shirt and will now make one! my family is going to LOVE it.
We banned plastic bags here in New Zealand a while ago, and I think it’s great 🤷♀️ also, Char, there’s nothing shameful about having a period, there’s no need to hide a tampon box x Love your videos 🙏
Hi de go fellow kiwi 👋 I was about to post the same thing! I don't mind paying for paper if I forget/don't have my reusable bags. HATED it at first, but like anything, now that everyone's used to no plastic it's sweet as. Does suck when you need a quick rubbish bag in the car/camping tho - those paper fuckers can't be squished down like a plastic bag lol

This reminded me of just one of the reasons that I love my dad! I am so grateful for his attitude towards all things relating to menstruation! When I was young, I would have been embarrassed by feminine hygiene products or people knowing that I was on my period, but now I dgaf. That is probably all thanks to my dad not being embarrassed by it. I could easily ask him to pick me up some products and he wouldn't hesitate, he'd even ask workers for help if he wasn't sure what I was asking for/needed or he couldn't find it (I eventually learned to just find a pic online and text it to him.) Really, that is how we should all be, it is completely not something to be embarrassed about AT ALL.
The girl who wore the "offensive" sweatshirt knew she would get a reaction. That's why she wore it. I like the sweatshirt, I agree with the sweatshirt, but I wouldn't wear it to a family gathering and expect that no one will say anything. She also had her phone recording because she expected, even hoped for, the reaction so she could label her family toxic and post it online. Really it seemed more like a family member was quietly trying to tell her that her shirt might offend people, and purposely offending people isn't appropriate for a family gathering. It's about showing respect to others. I'm an atheist who wouldn't go out of my way to start that conversation with grandpa at Thanksgiving dinner. Out of respect for the occasion.
Exactly. I even said myself that she did it on purpose to be offensive and to garner attention; even if it was negative attention. I as someone who hosts the family events if I were her family, would simply not invite her to anymore family events. They might get slack for it, but her family aren't the negative ones. She is and she just by watching her mannerisms, is not a very happy person. She needs attention and is doing these things to feed her narcissism. I'm spiritual, so while I'm not religious I do believe there is something after death as I've seen what is after death because I died twice. I was Atheist before that. I saw what was at the end of life and it's not nothing - at least what I saw and experienced. However, the religion that drives the belief has been corrupted for a long, long time. I don't think it was appropriate for her to wear a shirt and while she can, it's not her family coming off in a bad light; it's her. She wanted the attention to spin a story as you said, she recorded the interaction and her sister or whoever; played right into it. Shame she couldn't put aside differences for one day to spent with family. If she doesn't care, then she shouldn't of gone. Just my opinion.
The blonde wasn't even blonde she had dark ass roots LMFAOO ppl used to hate on my hair cuz they thought I was dying it but I was born with blonde and red highlights due to my grandpa being a platinum blonde(my aunt got his hair and her daughter-first cousin-, and her daughter too-my second cousin-) and great-grandpa being a full red head(no red headed kids). When NY banned plastic bags they ALL had paper bags the same day they ended the plastic ones.
Not gonna lie, that girl with the "bullsh*t" shirt on Thanksgiving was looking for attention. She wore it because she knew it would offend people. There's so many other things she could wear without getting people upset.
and I think the person talking to her was just more upset that it was a sweatshirt than what was written on it. Makes me think they normally dress up for the occasion. I wouldn't lecture her, though, because she clearly doesn't care.
@user-df7dc1gt5m There is a big difference between "the right to question religion" and deliberately insulting someone's faith. What if you went to a family gathering of Muslims or Jews and had a shirt that claimed the Qur'an or Torah was "lies/bullsh*t"? Would that be OK? This is a deliberate insult of someone's religion. I have questioned my religion for years now, but would never dream of going to anyone's home and wearing a shirt designed to offend their religious beliefs. That was an immature and sh*tty thing to do any day of the week.
I drop EVERYTHING when Charlotte posts. She’s like a good best friend you get to be on video call with while you live apart from each other. I just adore her.
Imagine if you will in the days of old having to buy a huge box of Kotex (look it up) and having the drug store wrap the box in pretty floral paper….and then having to carry said box 1/2 a mile (literally uphill) home. Hoping to gawd you didn’t run into some neighborhood boys asking who’s the present for.
@@marylhere I've been in the "game" for 33 years. I've been through all the embarrassing moments from having to buy them to having a major accident. The cramps. The "period poops" if you will. Having to go to the school nurse to get a pad...which by the way was giant and like trying to walk around with towel rolled up in your underwear. The floral paper yours were wrapped in was certainly a give away. I'm guessing if you were to see someone with that particular shaped box with that paper, you knew what was in that box (?) That's something I've never experienced!!
It's like the difference between wearing a swimsuit and wearing underwear. One is chosen to be shown to others, one you choose to keep private, even if they're basically very similar things. She's choosing to share her period stories and such with is - the power is in her hand to talk about it and she makes that choice. But already flustered and having no choice but to have to share that she's on her period to everyone around - the power isn't in her hand and she has no choice. They could at least have some sort of alternate wrapping for period stuff as an option.
@@7thlittleleopard7 horror of horrors the girl who sat behind me in home room had friends of her brother tracking her period and would remind her loudly when she was due to bleed. She learned NOT to use the calendar in the kitchen to plant her red X.
I am obsessed with the guy in the background in the video about the crocodiles, the guy by the glass window is holding up the crocodile hand shadow thing that makes the shadow on the walls lol its so cute and I love it. Idk if it's intentional on his part or not but I love it
My ex tried this pathetic maneuver to contact me, except his question was about creating a playlist on Spotify. Why do some people think acting helpless is endearing?
Almost at 1.5 MIL Charlotte! That's amazing girl! I remeber when you started this channel! How far youve come,it's just AMAZING! Congrats on just well,EVRYTHING!
Absolutely, what a prick thing to do. And then to go on like you have some moral authority on your high horse like wtf the host has done all that work without asking you for anything other than your presence.
100000000 I loved that impression 🤣🤣🤣 I had to get on here and say something because, oh my gravy! I have always gone to family events in my comfy clothes. My family has told me I look like a homeless person, I tell them I'm comfortable, and while they eat and get full and have to unbuckle pants and belts, I'll be just fine. Now, 20 years later, they all jump on the bandwagon of comfy clothes. Thanks for the laughs while I'm working! Love from your US Twin Minnesota.
I saw a lady wearing pants that had f you in tiny letters as the print on her pants to Christmas. She was embarrassed but her grandkids thought she rocked.😂
As a woman in menopause, I certainly haven't forgotten the wonders of menstruating. Maybe if we all started carrying them openly in public, there would be a change in perspective. And the cost! Like it's a choice to purchase feminine hygiene products? Pfft! I'm sure we would all rather isolate and stay in our pj's and eat everything for at least 4 days every month. Bagless is, a quiet 'demonstration for menstruation'.
@S Wearing something offensive to a religious group to a gathering where people with that specific religious belief are going to be at is still disrespectful. Especially if the people hosting fall under that religious group. It's no different than wearing a t-shirt that says "eat bacon" to Hanukkah. There's a time and place for those types of conversations during a holiday gathering, wedding, or funeral is not one of them.
@S so it's okay to wear a shirt that offends a religious group at q family gathering? So if someone wears an anti gay shirt to a gay pride parade that's okay? Because people can wear whatever they want
“Here’s the thing Grant” I’m dying 😂 Edit $12????! Omg! It’s like £2 for a box of Tampax here! Sometimes even less! She has a valid point though, if I were to add up what I’ve spent on womens sanitary products over the years my blood would likely boil, and no, none of it is fun ‘Grant’! “Period paraphernalia”! 😂😂😂 They can’t even give you a paper bag? What is the world coming to?!
I'd be pissed off too if I had let myself get ripped off like that. Where did she go to buy them, Prada? I've never seen tampons selling for more than $5 for the big box that lasts you two months.
Thanksgiving is that time of the year when family and friends come together to celebrate everything we are thankful for in our lives. It is an opportunity to step back from the craziness of everyday life, take a breath, and reflect on what is truly important to you and your family.
I gave my mother my Thanksgiving dress I wore for Thanksgiving a few years ago. I only wore it once since it was so cute ❤. She hung it up, but still didn't end up wearing it. 😂
I dont think the girl asking her sister to dress for thanksgiving dinner is out of line. They obviously had a tradition of dressing for thanksgiving. My family wears comfortable clothes. On the other hand, my mother in law puts on a beautiful spread and everyone dresses up. I appreciate all her effort and expense and I’m more than happy to wear a dress. This is just selfish behavior to make herself the center of attention. It’s sad that there are people who could care less about anyone but themselves.
I'm in london...couple panick stricken hours down the 401 lol 😆 Walmart got paper bags and they were great until it rained....yep good times chasing runaway cans through the parking lot.
FYI for Canadian Tater Tots: There are bags available online that fold into their own little pouch. That way you can tuck one into your purse/backpack and always have an opaque marketing bag with you for those "I'd rather not tell the world" emergency purchases. _The more you know_ and all that. 😉😊
several provinces in my country already banned plastic bags since before pandemic, and foldable bags have been sold everywhere, from the plain to the cute one, and i bring one everwhere i go. but for food purchases, plastic bags are still used here

In just a few seconds the woman at Hermes pointed out bad corporate policy, illustrated the problem, explained why it was bad, called on the company to change it, positively acknowledged the companies that have made that chance while offering potential Hermes buyers a viable and easily accessible alternative. Without being aggressive or judgemental towards buyers that may be unaware of the problem. I am impressed. Put that woman in charge of something.
I assume all the brands are still using cow leather. Does she think those cows are being pampered?

She’s the same person that was screaming at a butcher in the store for the meat. And covered herself in period blood in some other fancy dancy store
@@Notion_Hoarder no she was not. she was more formal compared to the girl you’re talking about.
You know what was honestly inspiring to me? I was once a middle school teacher. I used to keep pads for girls who needed them. I had a student who needed one. She didn't whisper when she asked. She didn't hide the fact that she needed one. I never saw a girl who gave fewer f*@$s. She boldly took it, stuck it in her back pocket and went on with her day. She had no shame about something she had no control over.
The shame is that girls are taught together feel shame for a natural bodily process.
Respect to you for keeping those on ya, I know some teach’s (male 🙄) that wouldn’t be caught dead even buying them (all the female teachers have ‘em.) Whenever I’m given one (by anyone) I just take it outta their hand and hold it in my hand. I don’t put it in my pocket, I don’t hide it in my sleeve, I simply hold it while walking to the bathroom.
I love that for her
I went to an ALL GIRLS SCHOOL and we didn't even have kids like that. Mad respect. I was in high school 2006 - 2010. So much has changed since then, and this is one of the rare good changes, imo.
i was the same way. a boy knocked my oursde over and the pads fells out. instantly he was shyly looking away. i calmly picked them up, told him it was fine and sat back down. i didnt blush, didnt get flustered. i didnt care. we all bleed. deal with it.
When my son was about 15 I got a call from him while I was at work so he could tell me he was going to walk to the store and then go to a female friend house(so I would know where he was) it was about to get dark out and I asked why when it was getting dark, his response made me so proud... he was going because his female friend needed pads and chocolate and was in pain but didn't have anyone who could drive to the store, so he wanted to help her out.i lived that he did not care what it was and was willing to just go get it and help in her time of need. I'm one proud momma😊
You raising a real one there, mama. My husband is the first man in my life to make periods "normal"... I was also raised in the south and the taboo was real. Good job, ma! 🎉
You should be proud! You raised such a kind and considerate man. 💕
Good job kiddo (and momma too). My Godson is exactly like this. There's only 6 weeks between him and my daughter. They're 16 now and he's always been so supportive in THESE moments. Lots of other times too but when it comes to "lady problems", any young man that is strong and compassionate enough to just help get period products or not behave ridiculous and embarrassed about it- deserves a well done and a good job! Very proud of these young guys
I love going to buy period products without a bag. Walking out of the store make sure to look men in the eyes very serious. The fear in their eyes when they see my pack of pads gives me fleeting joy in a period of sadness. Pun intended 🤣 I refuse to be embarrassed
That’s right. Fear the bleeding one, smoll man folk. Buwahahaha!!!
this man at walmart looked so disgusted and offended when i asked my friend “hey can we check out period panties while we’re here?” like which word hurt you sir? period, or panties? 😂
Not that related to your comment, but... My coworker's teenager son never had problems buying period product for his mom, never, even if he needed to carry them around without a bag. Really, no shame whatsoever, which I can only applaud. But he always refused to buy a toilet paper, to the point the slamming door would be involved and him not speaking to her for a day. So I asked her why. She told me he said: "Everybody knows that I'm not going to use those period products and that I'm buying them for somebody else, but for toilet paper, they will think it's for me." So, I was like 🤦♀and said: "But it is for both of you. And everybody uses it." She just shrugged and said: "Teenagers." Since we don't work together any more, I can't ask her if, as an adult, he still has the same problem with buying toilet paper.
@@elalogar7340 This was funny and wonderful at the same time! 😃🥰
There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We have periods, everyone knows that.
My partner never had a problem with buying pads for me while going shopping alone. Once I didn't specify what kind I want so he bought few different types 😂
If you see guys behaving weirdly seeing pads,that says everything you need to know about them
I'm old enough to remember when plastic bags were introduced to save trees, and now plastic bags are being banned. What a wild ride.
Yes. It’s pretty crazy!
I remember glass milk and soft drink bottles, that you returned to the Store or the Milkman. Paper Bags too.
Now everything is Plastic and us old timers get blamed😂😂
We recycled before it was Cool.
Most everything in my Kitchen is now Glass. Glass milk bottles ( Found on internet & Love them) Canning Jars for Canning and Storing Food.
Only thing used with plastic is bags are used for Garbage and Gallon Purified Water, that the container, when empty, is used for Plants.
Poor trees can't get no rest...
We have plastic bags here in Finland, but we learned a long time ago that you can use a plastic bag more than once. We also recycle.
We also have cloth reusable bags, paper bags and reusable and plastic bags made from recycled plastic and the normal plastic bags. We also have biodegradable plastic bags, or biobags. They are environmentally friendly. So maybe you could learn something there about recycling.
The fast food places do have paper bags, but you can recycle those too.
By the way, we sort and recycle household waste too. Cardboard, paper, metals, glass, plastic, bio-waste and mixed waste. It's not difficult at all. Sure, the big pile of bags sometimes annoys me, but it's a small thing when you think how much good you can do just by sorting your waste.
@@Yavanna79 So Finland is European California? Cool.
I've never understood the taboo around periods, it happens.
I live alone and sometimes end up with a girl at my house whether it's for a one night stand, or just a friend visiting. Every single one of those has noticed that I keep a small range of female sanitary products in my bathroom, and ask if there is a woman living here.
The look on their faces when I say that I bought them, in case any woman who visits might need them is priceless.
Just a notice to any bachelor's out there, if you are inviting ladies back to your house, a little thought to their needs can go a long way.
This is so sweet. I wish more guys thought like this
I got my period while at work and my job only had tampons and I had never used one so what did I do I got my phone out and rang up one of my guy friends (FtM trans) and he walked me through how to put one in while he was on speaker so If anyone walked in they would've heard a grown ass man explaining how to put a tampon in properly
I'm almost 50 years old, and you're the first guy I've ever known to do that. It's very kind and thoughtful of you. Not to say you're the only one. Just the only one I've known of. Kudos! 👏🏻
Yes this is very thoughtful, but my first thought would be “DAMN this guy must bring a lot of women home!!!” Almost as bad as having a girlfriend! 😂😂😂
have a male friend who does it too. he even asked me questions about pads one time. it is bizarre even for us girls when we only start the period journey and dont have family who uses it
I never understood being embarrassed about buying period products. Even as a teen it never bothered me. My friends would send me to go down the aisle and get what they wanted and pay for it. Still remember one male cashier who started snickering when he saw the boxes. My mom just died at my comment to him…
“I’m a grown woman, if you haven’t realized that women need these then I think you need to go back to sex ed.”
I bought from him many times and he never behaved like that again. So hopefully it helped him get over his nerves.
I also can’t tell you how many times I’ve been stopped and asked what’s best to get by a perplexed male who just been told to “pick up pads”. I think they see that I have no qualms being in that aisle and can be approached. It’s kinda fun to help them.
Every time I've had a male partner/friend feel awkward about picking me up pads, when for some reason I need _them_ to do it, I always just say, off-handedly, "Dean Winchester wouldn't be embarrassed." Bc you know it's true; you can just see the guy getting rung up at a gas station, & handing a box of tampons thru w.o. blinking, between the beer & the car-snacks. And since most guys who are uncomfy with it are hung up on weird gender-essentialism issues, & Dean is arguably one of the stereotypically masculine figures in modern pop-culture, it usually works pretty well.
Because some people get harassed when buying them
It’s also nobody’s damn business
I’m glad you feel comfortable with buying period products
Some people get bulged by their own family members for having periods
They get shamed for having them
@@mysterylovescompany2657 Dude, yes! I love Dean and he absolutely would!
Same, I feel like a baddie. It's part of life and anyone that gives you grief can suck it.
My sperm donor used to try to shame me for having a period... So of course I kept the package if pads out on the counter for all to see. I would have been embarrassed, but my pathological demand avoidance and me living on spite alone said "Nah. Screw that. Make his uncomfortable. Make him sit with his man baby feefees and get told to grow up by both me and Ma. This is as natural as peeing. Screw him. Suffer you useless child in a grown man's body."
I knew for certain my sister married a good one when he called my niece (his stepdaughter) from the period aisle and loudly started reading what was available in each section of products, just to make sure he got her the right sht. He’s asking if she wants wings, does she need supers, which brand, just completely comfortable buying a teenage girl period sht.
My dad set the bar high for this - he was never phased getting what mom and I needed. A good man.
Quite jealous of that. That is a confident and reassuring man. It would make me feel less embarrassed because he isnt making a big deal about it and just knows it's a part of life. Yall got lucky!!!
@@h.s.6269 ikr. He thinks the sun rises and sets on my big sister. He basically became dad for her 1st daughter and when I once told him my sister was lucky to have a husband that adored her so much (both me and my sister had deadbeat dads) he told me that actually he was the lucky one. He’s an awesome guy. I’m a single mom and my kid’s dad tries but has issues, my brother in law has stepped up to be a fatherly role model for my kid. He comes over and fixes sht at my house for us & is basically more family to me then actual family. I’m someone who hasn’t had a lot of faith in men or fathers, and dude helped restore faith that there are decent men and fathers out there.
@@Comrade_mommy I'm glad he stepped up to help out in such a way. Kids really need male role models very active in their lives. If the father won't, hopefully a grandpa or uncle (like your situation) steps in. Men are capable of amazing things like this, they just often forget it with society expecting so little of them.
As a society we need to demand better imo. It's like how we also have the situation where most black kids' only dreams are to be a rapper or in the NBA/NFL. No one encourages them while they are young that they can be a doctor, cancer scientist, engineer, electrician, etc. And no one makes it sound cool to be one of those, adults only ever talk about rappers, money, gangs, and sports, so the kids idolize those goals.
We need to raise the bar higher, over time they would aim higher. But for decades we've been lowering the bar instead.
Not meaning this in any ill intent on them, I genuinely want the community to thrive instead of self destruct.
The Hermes one really bothered me because I am so horrified at animal abuse. I applaud this young woman for having the compassion for these animals and the guts to try to make a difference. Bravo!
Story time: So back when I worked at Starbucks we would constantly have people order the wrong thing, because of multiple reasons but my number one theory is that people are dumb. That’s fine, nothing wrong with that, I’ve been dumb before too. But like I can’t call someone an idiot for ordering the wrong thing, because then I would get fired. However this one time my coworker and I were barring together and he handed her the iced coffee she ordered. This is the exchange that follows:
Her: This isn’t what I wanted.
Him: Okay, then what did you want?
Her: A vanilla bean frappe.
Him: Okay.
Her friend: Then why did you order that?

Once they left we burst out laughing. We couldn’t say it, but I’m sure glad her friend did.
I worked at Starbucks during the morning shifts and this would happen all the time! It was worse when they were on the phone 🙄 and they act like it’s your fault
Worked there too and the customers were horrendous
nah, starbucks gave me a wrong drink, it was a mobile order hot triple shot, she hand me an iced coffee, at the drive thru.
@@jennlim2735 OH NO! They gave you the wrong order on accident one time!?!? NAH, 99% of the times is the customer fault.
@@yelisserobles5371 I only do mobile orders just to avoid confusion or miscommunication between me and the barista, and so far it has happened twice that the barista had hand me a wrong drink. Now I just drive extra few minutes and get my drink at coffee Bean, sometimes at Peet's.
The blonde thing kills me. I have (as told by several hair colourists) Level 6/7 ash blonde hair, Yet 3 women with level 1-3 roots with fried platinum hair have laughed when I call myself blonde and said essentially "You're not blonde honey, you just wish you were." Like no, honey, that's literally your actual problem, don't be over here projecting your problems on me.
Lucky! And if you did decide to go a lighter blonde it would probably be really easy and wouldn't fry your hair.
My pfp is old I am no longer blonde because of frying my hair. I think I'm a level 5. Still pretty dark and I don't have strong hair so yeah back to brunette for me. 😢I liked being blonde but the upkeep and damage was ridiculous.
❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a hairstylist. I’m actually a level 8 strawberry blonde naturally with about 50% of that turning gray now. Total ginger as a kid and I hated it. My natural was just a little lighter than Charlotte’s actually as a kid. I wish my natural was what I had as a kid now. I always wanted to be a natural brunette. Even as a hairstylist I don’t understand the obsession with dark brunettes wanting to be platinum. Embrace that gorgeous chocolate y’all! It’s so much maintenance and damage to the hair.
@@leerinbigham7565 I wish I could. Lol 😂 If I didn't have so many grays I would probably leave my hair alone. I'm not going blonde again any time soon but I do plan to go Burgundy soon. Only semi- permanent color though. I'm hoping when it fades out it will just leave my hair with some warmer tones to it and look pretty.
Depending on how much I like that I'll decide where to go from there.
@@leerinbigham7565 Born a dark chocolate brunette and loved it. Closest thing I ever got to blonde was some caramel highlights when the gray first arrived. Quit coloring years ago, rocking my salt & pepper until I work up to full silver fox.
I worked at a place for ten years. At a certain time there were a lot of people who were buying and selling, ahem, mind altering substances. One day I realized I didn’t have tampons in my bag so I asked my friend for one and as she handed it to me, my male supervisor walked by and then stopped and said “what’s that?” I held it above my head and loudly said “a tampon”! He shifted his eyes and quietly shuffled away. I guess he thought it was a drug deal lol.
5% window tint. It’s just dark tint. She probably saw their shadows move and realized there was someone in there 🤣 That dude joking about tampons in a condescending tone made my blood pressure rise 😆
Ohhhh 😂, I was so confused about the 5% thing
she's a trans woman who bought them to hand out when other woman are in need. it's all over tiktok.
I think she's trans, doesn't excuse her bullshit. It's not funny, tampons suck, and the whole monthly hell is a misery she's NEVER going to have to deal with.
@@draconicfeline6177 it’s a fuckin tampon. Chill. If you feel attacked because a trans woman bought some tampons and is “playing” with one then you need to do some soul searching and figure out why you feel so triggered.
That was a trans woman. She was not being condescending.
I had to learn to not be embarrassed when buying tampons and the like. It's human biology, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Truth!
Snap. Heck, I even got discreet pads for my neighbor the other day.
As someone who has worked in retail, no one cares that anyone is buying tampons - young, old, male, female, literally anyone - no one cares.
the embarrassment is that we have to BUY them. ✌️
Im a guy just to clarify. Just the other week I was getting fairly large boxes of pads for both my sisters and mother.
a lot of there circles over lap and I think it's just easier to buy at least a couple months worth of pads that way thier not worrying about it plus it's cheaper in the long run .
Now the store I got them from is a small corner store that was just a block away they didn't have any bags left so I just walked home with them in public and I got mad stares from old men and women .
They looked (especially the men ) so offended that I a gay man was buying tampons for my family ...like bro mind you're fucking business.
I've always loved Ms. Dresher and their show "The Nanny." I'm glad she's doing well and is happy.
I always laugh at the awkwardness of periods with men. My dad would always go “I don’t want to know, just tell me what you need” and then when I cashiered, one moment sticks out of a guy buying just a box of tampons, and as I rang it up, the only words were “these aren’t for me.” In a nervous voice.
Like you sweet summer child, I didn’t think they were but I wouldn’t judge if they were! Light tampons are great for gushing nosebleeds!
My brother was never bothered about buying them for me or my mom. I remember someone said how good he was and he was just like "Who cares, it not exactly like theyre for me anyway."
@Hellybaby G lucky you, but i had fun running with pad (not even unwraped) after my bro
Periods have never bothered me. I live alone and always make sure that I keep a small range of feminine sanitary products in my bathroom, just in case I have any female guests who might need them.
that, but also trans men exist! so i wouldn't blink twice if i saw a man, or a masculine leaning person buying tampons
😂 that would've been my response as well
RE: Your period story. A guy friend was in the lineup at the drugstore and saw a female friend of his. He saw that she had her tax form packet in her hand. He said "oh I see it's that time again" She blushed. It was then he realized she had tampons in her other hand.
🤣🤣😂😂😂
OOPS! 😳😂😂😂
oh! poor girl... and guy actually, I bet he was embarrassed
It was sweet to see him not be afraid of his daddy. You can tell he is in a happy home. He is in trouble with no fear.
i recently saw a post on fb about someone gatekeeping sign language....no joke. my friend is not deaf, but her mother was. therefore sign language is part of her every day life. after her mom passed away, she started giving small sign language classes online and posts on tiktok signing everything as she talks. the way this person came after my friend because she's not deaf and using sign language......and my friend has adapted sign language to HER speech, which means not every sign is accurate.....people still understand her. it was just insane. ASL is "american" sign language, it adapts to how people speak just like we have our own ways of speaking with accents and whatnot. every language has it's OWN sign language and there are "universal signs" that encompass every language. people need to stop gatekeeping.
Some people That has nothing better todo.
This gatekeeping is why I stopped learning ASL. I got tired of the infighting.

But we have shows like swamp people that they hunt alligators because there are too many
@@riannezimmerman3671 I'm pretty sure it's the pythons that are the invasive species in Florida, not the alligators
@16poetisa that may be true. I didn't say invasive. There are different television shows one is literally named Swamp People. About a group or different families living in Florida and Louisiana and different areas like that where there is swamps and alligators. And their literal job is to hunt and kill alligators. They show you where you're supposed to shoot them so you can get the most out of their skin they show you how you're supposed to bake them and catch them so that way you can kill them. It's a bunch of Backwoods people living in the swamp killing alligators
Recently I had that conversation with my family when they were telling me that I had distanced myself from them from adolescens until a few years back (I am 40). "Why would I come when you barated me for everything all the time?" There was silence, nods and not much more. "Now we are cool, now we respect each other, we love each other and not out of obligation, now we're good" It was a good convo. It brought my relationship with tose relatives to a new, healthier, more loving level. Of course, it took 20 years, but let's hope it takes less for everyone else.
Everyone wondering how the girl with the nails could walk around like that while I'm wondering: How did she clean anything, including herself, with those nails?
with a wipe? with a sponge? i mean how do YOU clean anything, including yourself?
I get my nails done regularly every 3 weeks, and if I go any longer than that, they start to break off. I’m just impressed she was able to keep them on that long 😂 but for the record, we do everything normally just like everyone else. Only thing that’s a struggle is putting on necklaces, those stupid tiny clasps 😩
I wondered the same thing because they remaining 4 were hanging on by a thread (it looked like it would hurt if they bent back because it would be her nail, not the gel nail, that would bend and break 😕 how did she do anything - wash dishes, laundry, clean, text, type ...literally anything? Props to her for sticking to her guns I guess, I would have given up way sooner!
Oldest question in the book, come on get with the program
@@stevegreening419you and Charlotte are making me think I’m crazy 😂. There’s only three nails on. ….yes?…
Pharmacies here (Ireland) have always had paper bags as long as I can remember... so the restrictions on plastic bags didn't compromise our privacy. But my Dad, who used to routinely leave used condoms in the bathroom when I was a kid, had my mother haul me aside to tell me how disgusting I was at 13 because I left a used sanitary pad (wrapped up) in the bathroom ONCE... so maybe we need to walk down the street with our tampons and pads... normalise them or something.
It makes sense to forget a pad in the process of changing if you’re distracted, but what’s the excuse for leaving used condoms in the bathroom? Happy they didn’t manage to make you feel ashamed of a normal bodily function
man… i’m sorry you had to go through that. some parents don’t realize that some things they say to their kids really stick with them and hurt them
This infuriates me so much. When I was a kid my friend's dad left pron on even though we were in the room, it would just be blasted in the living room. That friend ended up losing her virginity when she was twelve to of course an older boy and bragged about it as some kind of accomplishment even though she admitted that it was super painful.
Fathers need to do better 😡
@@azuropixie5703 That's such a sad story. That father behaved so badly.
Kids are so smart. There’s never really a reason to be upset with them just because they don’t understand. 😂 they just need a little help sometimes ❤
I have to say, the relationship between the guy at 8:19 and the little kid is obviously a very trusting one and its lovely to see. The kid showed no discomfort when being confronted which just shows he trusts this person implicitly. I loved the little agreeing "k!" at the end, such a cutie 💜
13:58 "Who said that?" The dad. The dad said that. You can see his life flashing before his eyes at the thought of his wife finding out. 😂
I've cooked for others for 43 years. If anyone is kind enough to cook for me, I am beyond thankful. Sloppy Joes, beef Wellington, dry as the desert chicken, I don't care. If I didn't have to make it, I love it. Thank you kind person for nourishing me.
I just want to say that as someone who tried to wear a pom pom on my fingernail it is literally the most high maintenance/ exxxxtra/ anxiety inducing nail accessory. I lost and found it 3 times within 20 minutes of leaving my nail appointment and one last final time when I got home, never to be found again. (For those wondering: It was affixed by a tiny magnet, one on the pom and one glued to my nail for easy removal to wash hands.)
The first video just makes me so grateful for my family, usually we make family Thanksgiving & Christmas a pajama party but everyone who wants to dress up does & whoever doesn't doesn't & "dressing up" usually means a sparkly shirt or nice sweater with our yoga pants or leggings.
I stopped being "embarrased" buying pads, asking for pads and asking whether i have a stain on what im wearing. Its natural, most women go thru it, we cant stop it. It shouldnt be treated as taboo because it will just produce people who dont know anything about it like the one on the vid, or like the guy who was so confident that pads sticks to your vag instead of your undies
So the sister was apparently more bothered that her clothing was casual wear as as opposed to the fact that it had a pretty obvious blasphemous message/imagery on it lol. We dress up for Holiday dinners because we're Latinos and like to dress up just to sit around the living room lol, but we'd never make someone feel uncomfortable for wearing something casual.
I hated dressing up for holiday dinners. I'm one of those people that the messier the food is, the more likely I'll end up wearing it. I don't try to spill on myself, it just happens. And I'd get yelled at enough for it happening on regular clothes. Multiply that several times on dressy clothes. Once I moved out of my parent's house, I said screw it and wore casual clothes after that. And what could they do, I didn't live under their roof any more, they couldn't dictate what I wore.
I doubt it was because it was a sweatshirt. It was definitely the message, she just wouldn't admit it, which is disingenuous. However, there's a time and place to be edgy, and Thanksgiving with the family ain't it. This chick with the sweatshirt is acting like a pizza cutter: all edge, no point!
Back in the 80s, I had a college art class where the assignment was to create a 3-D mixed media piece. I made a sculpture of a very jolly Santa Claus nailed to a cross that had logos of every major toy company and designer clothing brand I could think of.
The teacher hated it, not because it wasn't well crafted, but because it offended her religion.

She missed my point, that as a person who finds meaning in the Gospels that promote love, charity and kindness, I don't see how commercialism and corporate greed promote those principles.
@@LazyIRanch I agree in thinking she (girl being filmed) was being disingenuous. Thought I think the other chic's point was possibly to irritate her family (she may just really not like God and wanted to pick that specific Holiday to be a troll). Who knows. It may not have been the sister's intention (one being filmed), but her approach did come off pretentious and somewhat judgmental. As a Christian myself, when you do speak to someone in regard to their different beliefs, I think it should come from a HUMBLE approach and place of love if you truthfully care for that person (as we're called to by Christ). Now I don't know the chic's family background, so I'm unsure of who how the actual homeowners (possibly their parents) personally feel about the message on her shirt. We've had people who weren't Christian accompany us to dinner at our house, and they simply respect the fact that it's a Catholic household and we don't allow any sort of blasphemous or demonic imagery (things of the like) in the house. We don't push our beliefs on anybody, nor do I shy away from the topic if it's relevant and the conversation stays respectful on both sides. Needless to day... Holidays and family drama seem to go hand in hand unfortunately.
@@Queina1 To each their own. I always get food on my clothes but I still like to dress up lol.
@@jenagrippa9632 I dress up to go to the grocery store lol. By dress up I mean you just won't catch me in PJs going anywhere (was raised to look presentable even when casual wherever I go). I have friends who dress casually all the time and make it look cute though. Didn't know that about Vancouver (good to know).
Single use plastic bags were phased out here in Australia a couple of years back, however reusable plastic bags and paper bags were phased in whilst the others were phased out... during the big bad Kmart ran out heaps though and that was such a pain in the butt
Also, our pharmacists put what we purchase in paper bags, so phasing out plastic didn't bother them as they were already using paper bags.
But what about the $12 for a box of tampons!! They have a luxury tax on their sanitary products, just as we used to until it was dropped.
There is NOTHING luxurious about having your period. The government make a KILLING in taxes from that. Christ on a bike!!
@@TaureanTrish PREACH!! You’re so right that was such a win, imo we ought to be giving them out in schools and then just continue on from there (I’m hoping the gen z men will be more considerate than the men in charge now - could you imagine if we asked for free sanitary goods lol, don’t get me wrong our pollies seem a lot better than the USA have in regards to women’s issues but we’re not quite at subsidised period items yet)
But yeah after however many years of buying my own and another 5-10 buying them for my 2 daughters I’m certain there’s far better things I could’ve put than money towards for their futures lol
funny thing is reusable bags are being used like 1 times bags by many and also they haven't implemented a recycling scheme for them
@@scarletspidernz And worse than that, we did away with plastic shopping bags because it takes 100 years for them to degrade. So they brought out those reusable cloth-ish ones.
They're made with an oil by-product and they NEVER degrade.

@@scarletspidernz I have remembered my (actually 10) reusable bags exactly 3 times. I don’t “plan shopping” it’s more when I’m out or in a rush so I use whatever bags are at the store or pay for them

I feel so old; we brought in plastic bags to “save the trees” because we were using paper and we’ve come full circle
Right there with ya, sister! 😉
Something tells me it wasn't to save the trees, it was to cut operating cost. Js
Thank you so much for this information! This is the retrospective people often lack when they judge some solutions without realizing what was their original purpose.
Well.. no, that's only sort of true. Right now the ideal that we're pushing isn't paper bags either. It's CLOTH bags, which can be reused for eternity. Paper bags, while some may be able to last for a couple uses, are still a disposable item. Better than plastic, yes, but they're not what we're going for now.
@@ankhels I like this trend. Fabric bags were used in USSR until its collapse 1991. Plastic bags were a fashion item. Cool people had one or two plastic bags, used them to show off, carefully stored them in between uses, even washed them sometimes. Until this day many Russians store and reuse all plastic and paper bags. A "bag with bags" is a well-known feature in their houses.
I don’t understand why some people can’t just let others be themselves…
Because they're controlling. They have a need to control.
I think calling out someone's religion passive-agressively is also 'not letting them be themselves'... But, we don't know the history, maybe the family is pushing it on her too... 🤔
I don’t understand why people can’t adapt to the audience they’re in front of.

Here in Australia pharmacies have always had paper bags, but even when plastic bags were banned other stores have paper bags or reusable bags available (some charge for the bags, others don't). How did they not think to replace the plastic bags with an alternative?
Unfortunately it's kind of up to the stores to decide. Most in Canada offer re-useable bags for sale though.
In UK they started with charging us for plastic bags, as a first step towards the full ban (though technically it was only supposed to be retailers over a certain size and sq footage). The greedy bastards decided this meant they could charge us for the *paper bags* they were supposed to be encouraging us to use as well though. What really annoyed me was the stores that had previously given them to you for free jumping on the bandwagon.
@@HulaHula667 Yeah that's happened in NZ too... though I think the idea behind charging for paper bags is that it's supposed to encourage you to bring your own reusable bag, as paper bags are still bad for the environment in their own way. Sucks when you forget to pack a reusable one, or have an unplanned requirement. I keep a bunch of them in my car, lightweight folded ones in my purse etc.
@KT I have shit in my car. I had to quickly run into Walmart on my way home from work and had no bags...

My best friend is Native, and we both have a VERY twisted sense of humor, so Thanksgiving has become the day where we make up different names for the day that more accurately describe the original event.
Our current favorite is "National 'this is why you don't feed strays' day"
As a native, I do the same with my family. It’s pretty fun l
I LOVE that idea!
Years ago there was a Canadian show on the Nickelodeon network called, “You Can’t Do That On Television”. I remember one joke that went: Did you know that the “Indians” introduced Europeans to turkeys and tobacco - and the turkeys have been smokin’ the tobacco ever since!
If you're going to feed the strays, get them fixed too. If you dont you will soon have more than you can manage.

In my country we also don’t have plastic bags (for some years now actually), but you can get paper ones. However, almost everyone always bringes their own tote bags everywhere 🎉 great to see people change their habits like this!
Here in Spain the pharmacy uses paper bags and will quite often wrap up sensitive items in paper for discretion.
They also give you a present at Christmas 🙂
WHAT? No seriously go to my pharmacy every 2 weeks.. or less (chronic health problems at 36 years old, yay). I got my Pharmacist, who works at a mom and pop shop, a Christmas gift these past few years because he goes above and beyond for me and I’m so grateful.
But wrapping up sensitive items and giving you a gift? I’m about to move to Spain. I’ve always wanted to learn the language and experience the culture.
Our pharmacies around here put Rx meds in small white paper bags, and I hope they never stop doing that! I have a little Senegal parrot who LOVES those bags, his favorite toy. I'll put a peanut or almond in the shell inside the bag and he makes a big show of attacking and shredding the bag to find his prize.
Spain sounds like a lovely place. I follow a channel on UA-cam of a chef in Spain who teaches easy but authentic Spanish cuisine, "Spain on a Fork". I've learned some good techniques from him, and he's adorable too!

I can relate to the dry roast. My mother used to be a decent cook, but as she has gotten older her cooking has gone downhill. When she makes a roast, it is cooked beyond death. It is so dry it’s frightening. She cooks red meat so it is beyond well done because she likes it well done and we should too. We don’t eat a lot of her cooking any more. She cooks chicken till it’s dry and stringy. Eating is always an adventure in what are we choking on tonight.
Too much energy for too much chewiness 🤣 my jaw would get tired

Get an old Hermes saddle. Worth it. More useful than a new bag. I inherited my coaches old neglected Hermes dressage saddle. It's still wow. Picked up a used good condition forward seat for @$400. Amazing how they make you feel like Brent Spiner...and I've sat a few good saddles. So glad to see the pro alligator lady.

Gonna call out the crocodile one. There are more in their native habitats than in cages.
If you’ve ever been to a croc farm, you may change your mind. They are dumb prehistoric beasts that climb over each other and would like to kill you.
@Edfundo72 ! I come from Australia. We have both salt and dresh water crocs. They taste good.
I don’t like using animal skin either-but I find it funny that the same people complaining about this have no problem wearing/using leather or having fur trim on stuff.
I see both sides to the story on the young lady with inappropriate dress for Thanksgiving. Number one I’m just glad that she’s there participating with her family that’s on one side, on the other side, she obviously has never cooked a meal and a lot of hard work goes into it so a little bit of respect is appreciated
And how do you know she didn’t cook?
Ah yes. Cooking a meal and then forcing others to come to it and then berating them for what they wear. The quintessential thanksgiving experience.
I had this guy friend who literally squirmed everytime a period product commercial was on TV! It made me crack up everytime! 😂
Nothing embarrassing about getting your period. If others are uncomfortable with it, it's their issue. Carry those tampons with pride! ❤️

Girl, I loved the story of you walking the streets with a box of tampons 😂 Imagine running into fans asking for a pic, I can’t ☠️ I’d love you all the more!
Plastic bags were banned in NZ ages ago and most shops have alternatives (usually paper), but also heaps of places have reusable bags for sale within the store.
My favourite are the ones that scrunch up into little bags! That way I can just chuck a couple in my handbag.
The girl calming talking about the crocodiles is who I want to be like in every issue I want to discuss. 💚
And yet she is wrong about the wild to caged ratio.
She was wrong about A LOT of things! When will activists learn to stop bullshitting. I mean people are eating it up coz like "killing animals is bad" (when it suits them... I'm sure every one of them is Vegi/Vegan 🙄)
But if people actually spend a min to check these so called "facts" it makes anything legitimate anyone says about animal conservation have less weight. 😖
The girl shopping said LIKE um like and like so many times I wanted to scream.
A story should be understandable, have a beginning, a middle and and an end. And hopefully, a point.
I love that you speak so loudly about your period. I freaking love it. Did you hear about Mikaela Shiffrin talking about it in an interview with some Austrian tv guys and they didn't get it and translated it to smth completely wrong! We laughed our asses off. She said she's a bit tired during her monthly cycle and he translated that she's tired bc of her bycicle training 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I literally laughed so hard I stopped breathing for like 5 seconds at the dad and his son with the gel in his hair x'D I cannot i simply perish
I think I'm gonna make myself a shirt that says lies lies bullshit lies with a star of David behind it. Watch me get canceled by everyone!! 😂
Get ready lol
2023 is the year of Charlotte...i hope she gets 2M subscribers this year. She deserves a lot of success and recognition. I appreciate her Channel so much. ♥️
Charlotte you can never be replaced. Happy that you have your own channel but just saying that I miss you at the other one and the way you presented the content. That being said YOU ARE A GEM.
In Belgium we banned plastic bags years ago. Even before it was an official rule, a lot of stores didn’t hand them out anymore. It’s mind blowing that Canada just banned it now. I thought you guys did that years ago as well as part of environmental change goals for plastic use 😅
In the beginning it wasn’t banned but you had to pay like an extra .25 for a bag
Honestly, it's been forever where I live in Canada. I think she is from Toronto, so maybe she lives somewhere on the outskirts. Also it wasn't JUST Justin Trudeau it was like a nation wide movement to help preserve the earth. She is the first person from Canada (and I am from Alberta if you know you know) I have EVER heard gripe about it.
Yeah it's been a thing in New Zealand for years. Bring your reusables or stash it in your purse. You can get little fold up bags that can fit in your purse or have clips to attach to your key chain or whatever. Most places have the option of a paper bag but that's not usually needed. I can't imagine leaving the house without a bag big enough for a box of tampons but maybe that's just me.
In the US it is state by state and here in Utah it gets banned city to city. It's insane, it needs to be universal!
Welp in the good ol USA we can still have plastic bags,but got the abortion ban going. Yay us.
Don’t be ashamed of having your period! It is a ducking horror, but instead of hiding it and contributing to the stigma - just embrace that it is a hell you’re going through and help normalize the realistic woman who complains! And if men get grossed out, remind them that 50% of the world share your suffering ❤️❤️
OMG! Your Kim K impression was SPOT-ON!! 😂😂😂😂
What the shirt said was obnoxious, but, I would have just ignored it. She apparently was trying to get a reaction. She was loving it.
That’s my thing, I don’t shove my religion down peoples throat, that being said don’t be disrespectful about my religion. I don’t care what you believe in, don’t disrespect me and I won’t disrespect you.
the way she acted she didn't even want the other person to talk to her. i thought it was a great shirt and will now make one! my family is going to LOVE it.
She definitely wore it because she knew it would create a scene i agree
Yeah, she definitely wanted the attention and reaction.
We banned plastic bags here in New Zealand a while ago, and I think it’s great 🤷♀️ also, Char, there’s nothing shameful about having a period, there’s no need to hide a tampon box x Love your videos 🙏
Hi de go fellow kiwi 👋 I was about to post the same thing! I don't mind paying for paper if I forget/don't have my reusable bags. HATED it at first, but like anything, now that everyone's used to no plastic it's sweet as. Does suck when you need a quick rubbish bag in the car/camping tho - those paper fuckers can't be squished down like a plastic bag lol
Kia ora fellow Kiwis ❤️🇳🇿
@@monicadunn7785 hey hey Monica!! Where abouts are you? I'm down south by Dunedin. Hope ur not up top with all that awful weather about to hit Auckland etc. I can't imagine what some of those people must be going thru, feel very very useless way down here & can't even take a family in for somewhere to stay!!
@@MrsGump helloo😁 yeah I'm in Auckland unfortunately but luckily haven't been hit badly with the floods. Got stuck at home coz the roads were flooded but as I'm a teacher and they closed the schools that was fine. Preparing for the cyclone now! Hopefully things settle down soon aye!
@@monicadunn7785 yeah the weather on the news tonite looks really bad. You poor buggers can't catch a break atm! I'll be thinking of you - stay safe xx
This reminded me of just one of the reasons that I love my dad! I am so grateful for his attitude towards all things relating to menstruation! When I was young, I would have been embarrassed by feminine hygiene products or people knowing that I was on my period, but now I dgaf. That is probably all thanks to my dad not being embarrassed by it. I could easily ask him to pick me up some products and he wouldn't hesitate, he'd even ask workers for help if he wasn't sure what I was asking for/needed or he couldn't find it (I eventually learned to just find a pic online and text it to him.) Really, that is how we should all be, it is completely not something to be embarrassed about AT ALL.
Sales girl... I've never seen someone with nothing to say, yet telling it as if it was the most intense, exciting, fascinating story of the year 😂🤣
THANK YOU! I felt like I was dying the slowest death possible just trying to listen to her.
Was that a story? I only heard “actually, like (flips hair) , like, like (rolls eyes), actually, like, like, like…..
The girl who wore the "offensive" sweatshirt knew she would get a reaction. That's why she wore it. I like the sweatshirt, I agree with the sweatshirt, but I wouldn't wear it to a family gathering and expect that no one will say anything. She also had her phone recording because she expected, even hoped for, the reaction so she could label her family toxic and post it online. Really it seemed more like a family member was quietly trying to tell her that her shirt might offend people, and purposely offending people isn't appropriate for a family gathering. It's about showing respect to others. I'm an atheist who wouldn't go out of my way to start that conversation with grandpa at Thanksgiving dinner. Out of respect for the occasion.
Exactly. I even said myself that she did it on purpose to be offensive and to garner attention; even if it was negative attention. I as someone who hosts the family events if I were her family, would simply not invite her to anymore family events. They might get slack for it, but her family aren't the negative ones. She is and she just by watching her mannerisms, is not a very happy person. She needs attention and is doing these things to feed her narcissism. I'm spiritual, so while I'm not religious I do believe there is something after death as I've seen what is after death because I died twice. I was Atheist before that. I saw what was at the end of life and it's not nothing - at least what I saw and experienced. However, the religion that drives the belief has been corrupted for a long, long time. I don't think it was appropriate for her to wear a shirt and while she can, it's not her family coming off in a bad light; it's her. She wanted the attention to spin a story as you said, she recorded the interaction and her sister or whoever; played right into it. Shame she couldn't put aside differences for one day to spent with family. If she doesn't care, then she shouldn't of gone. Just my opinion.
It's not "offensive" it IS offensive
@@ariistra195 only if you're offended.
@melissab3192 no? I can know for a fact something is offensive without being offended by it
It’s offensive and she wore it to get a reaction. I wonder how people would react if this was about Islam instead of Christianity.
Carry it with pride Charlotte!
The blonde wasn't even blonde she had dark ass roots LMFAOO ppl used to hate on my hair cuz they thought I was dying it but I was born with blonde and red highlights due to my grandpa being a platinum blonde(my aunt got his hair and her daughter-first cousin-, and her daughter too-my second cousin-) and great-grandpa being a full red head(no red headed kids). When NY banned plastic bags they ALL had paper bags the same day they ended the plastic ones.
Not gonna lie, that girl with the "bullsh*t" shirt on Thanksgiving was looking for attention. She wore it because she knew it would offend people.
There's so many other things she could wear without getting people upset.
She was definitely looking for drama. That’s why she was ready to record with her phone.
and I think the person talking to her was just more upset that it was a sweatshirt than what was written on it. Makes me think they normally dress up for the occasion. I wouldn't lecture her, though, because she clearly doesn't care.
Or, she was sick of being railroaded and finally made a declarative statement.
@user-df7dc1gt5m There is a big difference between "the right to question religion" and deliberately insulting someone's faith. What if you went to a family gathering of Muslims or Jews and had a shirt that claimed the Qur'an or Torah was "lies/bullsh*t"? Would that be OK? This is a deliberate insult of someone's religion.
I have questioned my religion for years now, but would never dream of going to anyone's home and wearing a shirt designed to offend their religious beliefs.
That was an immature and sh*tty thing to do any day of the week.
That period story left me so anxious.....and laughing so hard. Go USA!!
Love you Charlotte! My favorite creater by far!
Wow, thank you!
I drop EVERYTHING when Charlotte posts. She’s like a good best friend you get to be on video call with while you live apart from each other. I just adore her.
Charlotte, who always tells us when she's on her period, was embarrassed to walk out of the store with tampons :)
Imagine if you will in the days of old having to buy a huge box of Kotex (look it up) and having the drug store wrap the box in pretty floral paper….and then having to carry said box 1/2 a mile (literally uphill) home. Hoping to gawd you didn’t run into some neighborhood boys asking who’s the present for.
@@marylhere I've been in the "game" for 33 years. I've been through all the embarrassing moments from having to buy them to having a major accident. The cramps. The "period poops" if you will. Having to go to the school nurse to get a pad...which by the way was giant and like trying to walk around with towel rolled up in your underwear. The floral paper yours were wrapped in was certainly a give away. I'm guessing if you were to see someone with that particular shaped box with that paper, you knew what was in that box (?) That's something I've never experienced!!
It's like the difference between wearing a swimsuit and wearing underwear. One is chosen to be shown to others, one you choose to keep private, even if they're basically very similar things. She's choosing to share her period stories and such with is - the power is in her hand to talk about it and she makes that choice. But already flustered and having no choice but to have to share that she's on her period to everyone around - the power isn't in her hand and she has no choice.
They could at least have some sort of alternate wrapping for period stuff as an option.
@@7thlittleleopard7 horror of horrors the girl who sat behind me in home room had friends of her brother tracking her period and would remind her loudly when she was due to bleed. She learned NOT to use the calendar in the kitchen to plant her red X.
@@marylhere
Omg 🤣🤣
I am obsessed with the guy in the background in the video about the crocodiles, the guy by the glass window is holding up the crocodile hand shadow thing that makes the shadow on the walls lol its so cute and I love it. Idk if it's intentional on his part or not but I love it
Lmao the guy calling his ex for cooking was too obvious. He could have googled it, but didnt. 🤣🤣🤷♀️
My ex tried this pathetic maneuver to contact me, except his question was about creating a playlist on Spotify. Why do some people think acting helpless is endearing?
Girl that kim impression on point. And what you said about walking into the lions den of toxivity ive been there with my own fam 🤣😂
Almost at 1.5 MIL Charlotte! That's amazing girl! I remeber when you started this channel! How far youve come,it's just AMAZING! Congrats on just well,EVRYTHING!
I would never go over and purposely disrespect the host.
I rather exclude my self out
Absolutely, what a prick thing to do. And then to go on like you have some moral authority on your high horse like wtf the host has done all that work without asking you for anything other than your presence.
I’d have just ignored her shirt. She got the content she wanted.
100000000 I loved that impression 🤣🤣🤣 I had to get on here and say something because, oh my gravy! I have always gone to family events in my comfy clothes. My family has told me I look like a homeless person, I tell them I'm comfortable, and while they eat and get full and have to unbuckle pants and belts, I'll be just fine. Now, 20 years later, they all jump on the bandwagon of comfy clothes. Thanks for the laughs while I'm working! Love from your US Twin Minnesota.
I saw a lady wearing pants that had f you in tiny letters as the print on her pants to Christmas. She was embarrassed but her grandkids thought she rocked.😂
Did she not notice what they said?
I seen that video! You really couldn't tell until you got close!! So 🤣😂😂
As a woman in menopause, I certainly haven't forgotten the wonders of menstruating. Maybe if we all started carrying them openly in public, there would be a change in perspective. And the cost! Like it's a choice to purchase feminine hygiene products? Pfft! I'm sure we would all rather isolate and stay in our pj's and eat everything for at least 4 days every month. Bagless is, a quiet 'demonstration for menstruation'.
CLEARLY... the room was CHILLY!!
She wore the shirt to get attention. And she did. Sister should have just ignored it. Dr Phil says do no reward bad behavior 😂😆
Right, I bet she will be crying to everyone if she doesn't get invited to the next holiday gathering since she can't behave.
@S Wearing something offensive to a religious group to a gathering where people with that specific religious belief are going to be at is still disrespectful. Especially if the people hosting fall under that religious group. It's no different than wearing a t-shirt that says "eat bacon" to Hanukkah. There's a time and place for those types of conversations during a holiday gathering, wedding, or funeral is not one of them.
@S so it's okay to wear a shirt that offends a religious group at q family gathering? So if someone wears an anti gay shirt to a gay pride parade that's okay? Because people can wear whatever they want
“Here’s the thing Grant” I’m dying 😂
Edit $12????! Omg! It’s like £2 for a box of Tampax here! Sometimes even less! She has a valid point though, if I were to add up what I’ve spent on womens sanitary products over the years my blood would likely boil, and no, none of it is fun ‘Grant’!
“Period paraphernalia”! 😂😂😂 They can’t even give you a paper bag? What is the world coming to?!
She might have bought the big box from an organic brand
I'd be pissed off too if I had let myself get ripped off like that. Where did she go to buy them, Prada? I've never seen tampons selling for more than $5 for the big box that lasts you two months.
@@ZimVader-0017 😂 exactly 😆
Thanksgiving is that time of the year when family and friends come together to celebrate everything we are thankful for in our lives. It is an opportunity to step back from the craziness of everyday life, take a breath, and reflect on what is truly important to you and your family.
NORMALISE HAVING YOUR PERIOD IS NATURAL!!!! Is something that we shouldn’t hide of being ashamed of! 🙌🏽
Good morning Queen! Best part of my day is when I see your notification pop up!
I gave my mother my Thanksgiving dress I wore for Thanksgiving a few years ago. I only wore it once since it was so cute ❤. She hung it up, but still didn't end up wearing it. 😂
The dad looking scared for his son, I just died 😂
I dont think the girl asking her sister to dress for thanksgiving dinner is out of line. They obviously had a tradition of dressing for thanksgiving. My family wears comfortable clothes. On the other hand, my mother in law puts on a beautiful spread and everyone dresses up. I appreciate all her effort and expense and I’m more than happy to wear a dress.
This is just selfish behavior to make herself the center of attention. It’s sad that there are people who could care less about anyone but themselves.
I'm in london...couple panick stricken hours down the 401 lol 😆
Walmart got paper bags and they were great until it rained....yep good times chasing runaway cans through the parking lot.
FYI for Canadian Tater Tots: There are bags available online that fold into their own little pouch. That way you can tuck one into your purse/backpack and always have an opaque marketing bag with you for those "I'd rather not tell the world" emergency purchases. _The more you know_ and all that. 😉😊
I found those here in the states too... I've lived in many places it's mandatory to bring your own bag & those little fold-up ones work well
several provinces in my country already banned plastic bags since before pandemic, and foldable bags have been sold everywhere, from the plain to the cute one, and i bring one everwhere i go. but for food purchases, plastic bags are still used here
First video: "I openly insult my family's religion while spending time with them and eating their food - I'm definitely not the toxic one ♡"
Eggggzactly!!! Attention seeking.
