Story 1: "Stacy, Dear. I'm sorry if your parents can't afford to buy you your own toys, but that doesn't mean that you can steal things from other people just because you want it." Bet Karen would have done something to get her daughter under control then.
Seriously? It's clear where the problem stems from. The MOTHER is just as entitled. It was the MOTHER reenforcing the behavior. She wouldn't have done anything differently.
Honestly, aunt Karen probably would've just started screaming. But pretending to think a rich person is poor is probably the fastest & easiest way to get under their skin.
I dated a rich guy in high school and his parents were the complete opposite of OP’s girlfriend’s parents. They were super sweet people. I grew up poor and they never judged me for it
Story 4: Wow. OP and his girlfriend came up with a really good plan to see if this relationship can work. I’m impressed. I hope they can, but if they can’t… I hope she does still separate herself from her parents financially. Especially if they are the type of parents that don’t let her put anything in her name or give her actual money; that type of control is designed to be a fancy prison.
@@blazethecat363 I'm sure you're already aware most people in abusive situations don't even realize it's abuse. But you're right; that's exactly what's going on.
I can't even fathom letting that Karen take my shopping cart without telling her in no uncertain terms what she can go do with herself as I take my cart away from her. Good grief.
The OP in that story was being too wimpy by letting the Karen take her cart. Having a baby with you doesn’t give you the right to take someone else’s filled cart. The OP should’ve called for an employee, manager, or security the moment some ding bag made off with her cart, especially when her purse was there.
@@HellDuke- Did you even read or listen to the story at all? There was no kid in the cart initially, Karen had the kid with her, then took OP's cart that had OP's groceries and purse. The Karen took the cart with the purse, *possibly* to steal. Why else would the Karen not get a cart of own at the entrance?
@@whitewolf3051The kid wasn't in the cart initially but Karen put them there...if op tried to take the cart back with the kid in it, there would have been a problem
Story 4: Oof, that attitude will never go away, those "parents" will probably just pass her off as "corrupted by her loser BF" because she decided to distance (and even cut) herself from the family. Probably the best petty revenge is for both OP and his GF to make a huge living, the parents suddenly change their minds about the couple, and then the couple just rejects them, pointing out their money obsession. Sorry, you can have all the money in the universe, but it means jack if you're a terrible person
From the description of the family and the culture they came from, I have a feeling they were Asian. Statue is huge for them when it comes to money and controlling their kids. I know some Asian families with money, and that pretty much sounds like what they go through.
If only it was that simple. She will need a therapy to completely free herself from their influence. Good thing she's trying and I wish them all the best. I hope they will communicate well together to heal.
Yep. Personally, if I was OP,the minute he demanded to speak to the man of the house,I'd have shown him the dogs and said "Still wanna talk to the Man of the house?" If he then tries to report me for "Dangerous Dogs", I'll just tell the Cops there are PLENTY of signs ON the property line warning him..
Exactly, the OP was too much of a wimp by giving into that woman. So what if you have a baby with you, that does not give the right to take someone else’s cart, especially not when it has their groceries in it. The OP should’ve gotten an employee or a manager involved.
Or Even just hold onto the cart & not let her leave with it! OP could have called the store & ask for a manager to come to isle .. but don't let her get away with it!
Story 3: I've seen a story where is is the modern equivalent of Annie Oakley, she live on a similar bit of land and when she kick out kids who were trespassing, their ma or pa came and demanded to speak to the man of the house, and OP brought our her 12 gage and said "this is the man in charge and he wants you to leave... now"
Story 1 - Like mother, like daughter. And honestly if Karen and her husband can afford to buy a brand new Porsche then she can easily afford to buy her daughter her own toy ponies (But this is a Karen we’re talking about so that ain’t happening) if Stacy’s attitude doesn’t change before she reaches teenage years or adulthood… then she’s going to be in for a world of hurt later on.
I have a feeling that Karen doesn't even know what her kid likes (contrary to OP that's aware that those ponies are a favorite). If she did know Stacy would probably have her own ponies already.
Stacy probably already has her own ponies already, but she doesn't have them with her RIGHT NOW...mine mine mine....gimme gimme gimme...moooooooooom! When they get home the toys would be thrown in the pile and ignored like any piece of property that didn't receive any personal value normally acquired through hard work or rarity.
As a mom that has carried babies and toddlers through the store and toughed it out to avoid tantrums, that mom would've regretted challenging me by taking my cart and food. Nah bish, get your own.
Soooo, McDonald's Karen CAN follow OP all the way outside to complain about where's her order...but she CAN'T just walk her ass up to the counter to check on her order???? Make THAT make sense!!!
I have never been in a McD’s where they bring you your food. You wait near the counter until it’s ready. It’s fast food not a sit down restaurant. Bet her food was on the counter getting cold.
As a former retail worker, it always pisses me off when people don't even bother putting cold stuff back correctly. Right up there with leaving the carts in the middle of a parking lot (handicap spots excluded for obvious reasons) but seriously. That last EWW. "I'm sorry you have a baby and decided to procreate. Maybe walk your ass up there and get yourself a cart."
The baby was thirty pounds when you came into the store, so why didn't you get a cart then? Also, why are you just walking around the store with a baby in your arms if you aren't there for shopping? If you are there for shopping, how did you expect to do it while carrying your child?
As another former retail worker, specifically Walmart, I second this. What made this worse was Walmart's policy when someone would hand back their cold food in check out - we couldn't put it back even if it had literally just been pulled out of the fridge/freezer and was still cold, despite the fridges being within view of the register and I could verify they had just grabbed it. If it was refused at checkout then we had to take it to claims, which means dumping it out. Nothing is more frustrating than dumping 6 gallons of ice cold perfect milk that someone intended to use their WIC benefits for but had grabbed whole instead of the allowed 1% (if you ever received WIC or worked as a cashier for grocery, you know). So infuriating. I offered to take it home myself, nope. The loophole to this is if the customer puts the milk back in the fridge themselves, so now anytime I have food, especially cold food, that I choose not to get, me, my husband or my teen will take it back to its home shelf. We refuse to add to the waste. Thankfully other stores will put it away if it's still cold, this was Walmart only.
As a current retail worker(DG), Agreed. Though, on the shopping carts right now, it's them leaving them in the middle of the store, specifically, blocking the path out from checkout.
If i have something cold or frozen and change my mind I’ll take it back myself or hand to cashier i never leave cold stuff just anywhere. As for carts people parked next to corral and still leave cart on the side especially if they put it blocking anyone else from pushing their cart in there
Story number one: Karen is raising a monster. Children need to be taught boundaries, that the word no is a complete sentence and a sense of accountability. They can't always get what they want, the world will not bend over backwards for them and always let them have their way. Karen is not doing her daughter any favors. The fact that Karen tried to demonize OP for not coddling her brat tells me everything I need to know about her parenting style or lack thereof: very permissive, spoiled and nothing resembling even an ounce of structure. For God's sake, if they're that wealthy, they can buy the whole damn aisle of toys for her.
Story #5 "yes, and your kid weighed just as much when you walked past the carts getting in. Your failure to plan is not my problem. Sadly, your child will have to deal with that until she's old enough to move away from you."
Story 1: "If you stop crying your mommy will buy you some ponies on the way home. She's rich. I'm sure she can afford 4 or 5 ponies. You'll do that for your darling daughter, won't you, Mommy?" That should shut them both up. Also, where I live, we have storm doors. It's a glass outer door that stays closed and locked when you open your front door, so people can't just barge into your home when you open the front door. Also, if you said, "No" to someone who called ahead, and they still come over, you don't have to open the door for them. If they don't leave, call the police.
I don't think trespasser guy really cares that much about his kids. Probably just wanted them out of the house and out of his hair at any cost. A smart and caring parent would never allow or encourage their children to play unsupervised on a stranger's property. That's extremely stupid and potentially dangerous on multiple levels.
You can bet that he would have tried to sue OP, if his darling little monster kids had gotten hurt by her dogs. If they have been out. If one of the kids had gotten bit then there wouldn't have been much that the father could have done because his kids would have been trespassing with clearly posted no trespassing signs
@@Mew_Mokuba_Akari - Quite likely. Doesn't really care about his kids, but if he thought there was a cash payout to be had, I'm sure he would have jumped at the chance. He certainly seemed that shallow.
@@Mew_Mokuba_Akari I'm petty enough to countersue for damaging my dogs' very strict dietary regiment. "This is my land. Feeding my dogs blood is not allowed."
I live in a poor section of my city, and NO ONE would EVER take someone else’s shopping cart in a grocery store here! I bet it’s because everyone knows there may be consequences to doing so that they don’t want to deal with!
Story 3: If OP's lawn is public property due to being somehow accessible despite being fenced off, then his lawn is also public property because I can probably jump his fence if there is one. Hey, I'm just using his logic. See how dumb it sounds?
Honestly, OP should've just called the cops, bet the entitled dad would've ran like a roach when ya turn on the lights the moment the squad cars showed up
@@brendanboomhour7606 The dogs were quicker, and you can't BS an angry dog into hearing your delusional logic. Also a restraining order on a piece of paper is not as effective a deterrent as the idea that a 120 lb. slavering murder machine might be wandering around on the property on any given moment. Might even make you think twice about trespassing on other people's properties as well.
Base on that logic, pretty much 90% of québec property surface are public.... I mean, all the farmers, all the property like my parents that live in the wood with big terrain ... half the village and pretty much all the house out of the village as nobody (or almost) have a back neighboard ... And base on his idea, if he park his car on the road, I can tell my kid to play with sling shot & metal balls near it without issue?!?
I had an office that children came to with their parents frequently. Had a 2 1/2 year old girl once who just didn't want to put my toys away when she was leaving. I told her it was time to put the toys to bed, could she help me? she put them all away nicely and I told her they would be waiting for her next time she came. She was fine after that.
Last Story: I work reshop at Walmart. Used to have people steal my cart and things in it if I walked away for a few seconds. I have learned that it is impossible to stop them. I have used handcuffs, and people still try to steal them.
The last story: So she had a kid. So what? The entitlement of some people who think they deserve special treatment just because they decided to create life is staggering to me. She claimed she was tired from carrying a toddler around? Then she should have got a cart when she came in the door. Simple logic, right? No. She had to steal someone else's cart that had their literal belongings in it. Suppose she stole the lady's purse. I wouldn't put it past her. After all, just based off of this interaction, it's clear she has no respect for boundaries, zero regard for the word no being a complete sentence and nothing resembling a sense of accountability. I'm also going to guess here that she's not above passing all of those negative qualities onto her her child.
@@whitewolf3051 Perhaps not a wimp but, most likely, was so taken aback at the brazenness of that lady that she didn't know how to react in the moment. I agree that she should have been more assertive. However, stealing stealing a shopping cart already occupied by another customer really wasn't anything security or management could have done about it. Had she refused to give back her purse, then that would have been the point that security, if available, should have gotten involved.
@@iononcantomascrivo Nothing?! Pretty sure the Karen *would've* walked off with OP's purse *if* she wan't confronted about that. It's possible the Karen intended to steal the purse. The fact she didn't bother to get a cart herself from the entrance *could* mean the Karen was there to steal, the baby was an excuse.
OP in story 1 should have told Stacy he'd get her some for Christmas/birthday since it was obvious her mom couldn't afford to buy them lol. Karen would have flipped her lid.
I'm from Scottish ancestry of immigrant grandparents on both sides of my family, second generation born in America. We're pretty much middle class and work for everything we have. I went to HS with a bunch of trust fund kids of wealthy parents. A few were cool, while the majority were entitled a-holes. This was in the 80s, and I just didn't put up with their crap.
About Story #4: in the U.S., many really rich people drive very ordinary cars like Honda Civics, precisely to avoid drawing unwanted attention to themselves. They’re actually safer (like from kidnapping and robbery) that way. I bet the the girlfriend’s parents don’t think that way, though….
Re: Last story How op just capitulate like that? It's beyond poor form to let a Karen walk over you. If you don't check 'em they'll never learn. Sometimes even checking them doesn't teach them; yet you don't let them disrespect you with their BS.
Story 3: OMG! I absolutely love dogs! I have had very protective dogs all my life, and this story made me so happy! We lived in a rural area, and for ANY stranger that came on the property, my wonderful, protective dogs were right there waiting for the command. I'm just saying, don't mess with the dogs.
I suppose I can check on your food while I'm calling the cops on on you for repeated assault. And if you seem to think I work here, that's still doesn't mean that it isn't assault because it's assault. oh, and by the way, since you were too absolutely mind-blowingly stupid to hear it the first time. I don't work here so since you're planning on having me work for you without actually paying me this is also a breach of constitutional law and the fact that it is slavery. so I'll just look on that food to make sure you're here long enough for the cops to arrive
Encourage GF to go (financially) no contact with parents. Even Full NC. They are venomous people, and full credit to GF for realising. Find the girl a job, so she has financial independence; train her how to use money she has; get married on holiday somewhere. Good luck.
For that last story I would have gone after her mainly for the deli meat as that Karen just wasted it. Also why was she carrying her child around the store in the first place when she could have grabbed her own cart when she walked in. I swear some people have 0 brain cells.
Story 1: As soon as Karen said "sorry, I tried", at that point I would have picked up something of hers (purse wallet, coat, phone, etc.) and said, "sorry Karen I like this, maybe you should just go buy yourself a new one and let me have this one. Goodbye now and don't come back."
Story 4: This is a textbook "are you dating your girlfriend or her parents?" case. I hear stories like this from time to time, and that's my basic response. As long as your SO loves you, that's all that matters. You're not dating their parents, so they can get fucked.
But they'll always be there. They'll want to see their baby. They'll want to see their grandkids. They'll complain you don't spend holidays with them. They'll never stop complaining, never stop the emotional blackmail. You DO have a relationship with your SOs family, and unless they're willing to cut off their family AND MOTIVATED TO STICK TO IT, it will be a problem forever.
Toy ponies story: Your mistake was opening the door to Karen and Stacey instead of making sure the deadbolt was engage McD Karen story: While I have been to a few fast food places that will bring your order out to you, McDonalds ISN'T one of them, at least none that I've ever been to. And last I checked a hi-vis vest and a hard hat is not a part of the McDonalds' uniform. Karen might have wound up wearing my coffee if she pulled that BS (I usually add a bit of ice so it's drinkable faster). Trespassing story: I think I would have waited until it idiot dad was just a couple of feet from the fence and then sent the dogs out to give him a scare. GF's parents story: It sounds like gf has some sense, but is understandably afraid to make a big change. OP, if you don't have one, buy a decent small safe (not a lockbox) to stuff valuables (like those credit cards) in, not to prevent their use, to prevent them from being lost or stolen. Get her documents as well and stuff them, as well as yours, in the safe. Does gf have a job? You weren't clear on that, but it sounds like she wants to make a change. Good luck and best wishes. Cart stealing Karen story: I'm almost surprised there wasn't a pile of OP's groceries dumped on the floor somewhere in the store. Good grief!
A couple of enraging stories here, but OPs who won't stand up for themselves. First, the Karen who forced her way into OP's home, and later, the Karen who stole the grocery cart. HELL NO - in both cases!
Story #3, I would have said, "Yes and are you a good runner?" And said Let's see if you can make the gate before the men of the house!! Go boys!! LOL!!
Story 5: I've had my shopping cart taken. The person put my groceries into someone else's cart. The person that ended up with my stuff was really nice about it. But the situation still pisses me off.
Story 4: Nah, OP isn't wasting his time since the gf was willing to talk it out and come to an agreement. The most important part of a relationship of any kind is communication.
Just when I think nothing else could surprise me, a Karen steals a grocery cart with someone else’s groceries in it because it was convenient for her!!!
If I had had toy horses when I was a kid and someone tried to take them, heads would have rolled! I'm jealous of the lady with the sugar maples. They're not native to this area. I've been using both red and Norway maples to make mine. I'd rather have the sugar maples. They normally have a higher sugar content and you don't need as much sap to make syrup.
Helll no for the cart story. Someone tried that with me before in a store, I just screamed for a manager after she kept tryna walk away with the damn thing.
Story 2: I would have gone extra petty by getting her order, bringing it over and then starting to eat it right in front of her. "What? You said to bring it here but you didn't say to give it to you."
1st OP should take their daughter to the EM's home, tell her to cling to the most expensive car and say "i dont think she'll let go, you should just buy a new one". Oh jow the turn tables.
Story 2: What I would say to the Karen at McDonald's is, "you obviously don't understand a simple premise of neighborliness, of which mister Rogers would definitely approve, which is, 'Ask and you may receive. Demand and you get nothing. Would you like to try that again?"
Story 1: Seriously it won’t be long until an adult Stacy is getting a list of charges read out to her in a courtroom. Story 2: This one is definitely a IDWHL moment. Story 3: OMG that idiot entitled man-child father would let his kids cross the DMZ in Korea. Story 4: The sooner OP’s girlfriend cuts off her entitled and snobbish parents would be the best thing for her. Also if her parents can’t respect or accept OP then both should refuse the parents to allow them to see their grandchildren, if OP and his girlfriend ever have kids. Story 5: Do Not Let People like that entitled mother get away with that behaviour! That just encourages them to act even more entitled, I hate entitled parents that they think they can do anything and everything just because they’re a parent. So what, their kids are not my nor anyone else’s responsibility. Snatch the trolley back and call for security and inform the the security guards for the attempted theft of the purse and the groceries and if the entitled mother gets in trouble with the law, well it’s a case of TFS.
Tbh, I hate people who roll over and let Karens get away with things almost as much as Karens themselves. If you didn't actually do anything to help yourself, then you lose any right to complain.
About the third story, I hope OP and her husband have outside cameras because we all know any imbeciles can do very bad things, even on big dogs, only to have the last word on people who didn’t enable them in their bad behaviors.
Story 4 - I don’t know if I could put up with people like the girlfriend’s parents. But if OP and his girlfriend are serious about their relationship then I hope for the best to them both. Also if girlfriend’s parents start harassing them then I’d get a restraining order against them.
Story 4: It sounds like OP's GF is one of the good ones who didn't inherit their toxic parents' attitude and I hope she can support herself financially and that the period of adjustment isn't all drama.
No way in heck would I let someone walk off with my shopping cart! I would have told her, her inability to carry ger child is NOT my problem, she can hold the kids hand and walk him up to the front and get one herself. I would also question her intelligence if she doesn't understand that. If she wanted to get in a shouting match I am more than willing to show her I have VERY good lungs! Why didn't she grab a cart in the first place??😮
Most of the time the people who call others selfish are the selfish ones. Could have said when she was complaining that her daughter was upset “well I don’t want MY daughter upset so I’ll keep what is ours”
Last story - OP, it’s on you. You let Karen get away with it. Now someone else has to deal with her entitled ass. Emboldened by getting away with it before.
So, if anyone wants to hear the reason the tresdpass story today hit home for me: This morning my husband found his car doors open. Mind you, we live on 80 acres of redwood forest, so, that's weird. Down below at the main house my mom's car has also been invaded. We're freaking out, feeking violated & creeped out AF. We've had tresspassers before, some rando girls I saw on my walk that I didn't stick around to make sure they were friends of my son (my assmption at the time) cuz my dogs were going nuts and I get embarassed about it. But no, nobody had guests, these girls just drove up. Parked. And explored a strangers land in Humboldt county. That kind of stupidity gets you shot by weed growers 'round here. And another time some family wandered in and were peeking at my mom through her window! wtf Anyway, *Today*, thankfully was different. After getting a kitchen knife and making sure there was no psycho killer hiding in a closet or something, as I go upstairs I look out the window...and notice the bear box has been shoved around. You guys! Did you know bears can open unlocked car doors?!? I decided to google that very question, and yes, it was totally a bear! So I'm very relieved. But still a lil on High Alert. It's hard to come back down after starting the day that way! I wish we had cameras to catch that on video. That bear found my husbands Clif bar hoard, hope his/her tummy is ok, lol.
@@whitewolf3051 Technically, the woman stole from OP when she walked off with the cart and OP's purse. I used to work in a grocery store and I find it difficult to believe any mother would walk around the store carrying her kid like that. It was attempted theft. She just kept it going like she needed the cart for her kid and OP bought it.
Story 3. Yeah after that one story about the guy who wanted to assault a women and was managed to be unalived by a malamute dogs. I wouldnt want to mess with that person lol.
Toy Horse Story: OP should have never opened the door in the first place or if they had to open it, stand in the doorway blocking it so Karen couldn't enter the home... I would have... And I'd have been very blunt when I told her that neither she nor her kid are welcome in my home due to their Narcissistic Entitled Behaviour and if they don't get off my Property in the next 10 seconds, I will call the Police and have her Arrested for Trespassing! 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story #3: The Kevin father was the epitome of being "stunningly brave" in the face of OP, but "stunningly cowardly" in the face of three incredibly annoyed canines. Story #4: back when I was in my 20s, I "dated" (in the loosest definition of the word) a girl whose mother was one of the first women vice cops in the capital city. So....yeah, I was very much forbidden to take almost anywhere even remotely sketchy for fear of something happening.
One thing I have to say, as someone who has had upwards of three hundred bottles of wine around the homestead, is that anyone who derides a $25 bottle as cheap crap is someone who knows absolutely nothing about wine. A know-it-all snob I may be, but I consider the $20 to $25 range to be the sweet spot for quality for the money. Yes, I will happily pop the cork on a Margaux or a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but anyone can buy quality by throwing enough money at it, and even that doesn’t guarantee anything.
Price doesn't even really help compare at all. Its all personal preference. There's a 4.5 bottle at Costco that I freaking love and it being cheap is just bonus.
Story 4 ~ The moment her entitled mother demanded I move my vehicle to the back of the house so her neighbors wouldn't see it, I would have informed my GF I was leaving. She could either go with me or stay at her parents and they could arrange for her to get back home.
Story 1 reminds me of when I was 7 years old and was visiting a rich kid the same age. I was a recent immigrant and so had next to nothing in the way of toys. I brought a Barbie that I inherited from an older cousin to play with and the child liked it and kept it. Her mother said nothing, and my late mom was too nice and let her keep it, but I still miss the doll 52 years later.
Story 4: Just... Damn. She REALLY wants to make it work. Trusting him to teach her how to live outside her parents' protective money-bubble? I hope those two go far.
Some parents are batshwiit. My mother didn't speak to my SIL for the first 5 years of her marriage to my bro, and that was maybe 4-5 years after they started dating in high school. Seriously, if Mom, me and SIL were in a room together, my mother acted like SIL wasn't there; if I left, silence ensued until someone else came in. SIL is a fkg goddess for putting up with it - though honestly, she may have preferred that to Mom actually talking to her. 35 years of marriage later, I think SIL won the eventual battle.
story 1 is getting me really angry at Karen - she's got so much money and doesn't want to spend it on her own daughter? story 2 is crazy - since when are McD workers wearing safety/reflective gear? the last one is hard to believe... at least Karen handed over the purse instead of just walking away... Shopping Karts standing in the way is a common thing, even in Europe. A few weeks ago I was shopping in Germany and the store was packed because it's close to the German/Austrian border and lots of Austrian people go there for their big shopping trips (sometimes I see families with 2 or 3 shopping karts) Well, as I was in there, I had 2 karts just "parked" in the middle of the way... as I wanted to push them to the side, some crazy lady yelled at me "Why are you pushing my kart away?!" - my answer was just "because it's parked in my way, park it at the side next time" and then I walked away... I love this store because it has scanners for registered customers - makes shopping way easier, you scan your stuff yourself and then you go to self-checkout, scan the code on the scanner and pay. This way I'm always out of there after 15-30 minutes, depending on how much I'm buying.
A friend of mine, when he finds abandoned carts in his way will push them to the side and helpfully put a few random items from the nearest shelf into them.
story #4. Does the GF work? Her apartment, her vehicle, her CREDIT CARDS are all being paid for by the parents. Does GF have money of her own? If she isn't working, if she doesn't have her OWN money, then OP, call it quits. If GF doesn't want to be an adult, I doubt that she will change.
Story 4 - OP should have had a notarized agreement signed and notarized in case the parents attempted to have him arrested claiming he's abusing their daughter
Story 5: I always find it irritating when people are pushovers. Like bro just let Karen be disrespectful! If you don't grab your damn cart and stand up for yourself. Good grief man
Story 5: I'm sorry, I'm not trying to victim blame, but this OP needs to stop being a doormat before it escalates to something worse. Seriously, being that hopeless at standing up for yourself that you can't just GRAB THE CART BACK, or grab stuff out of it, or any number of solutions, that's in "losing respect for you" territory. Stand up for yourselves, don't let others steal from you, you're not starting a fight, you're finishing it. They're the ones who started the fight.
S4: So your girlfriend left her “controlling” parents to shack up with op and now he’s also being controlling by giving her an allowance while also going 50/50. Seriously the girlfriend needs to get her own place and learn how to take care of herself financially. She should also dump op because she’s not responsible for how her parents feel about op. The fact that he was willing to dump her over this is telling of his personality. Obviously he's done nothing to prove to her parents why he's worthy of their daughter outside of being a jealous little man. Plus if the most you can afford to pay is twenty-five dollars for a cheap of wine then you aren't good enough for their daughter. Also I'm not buying the crap about the girlfriend being abused by her parents because I don't find op truthful.
Dude, walk away from that relationship it will not end well for you, my ex was the same way, her parents were crabby, self-centered, and as arrogant as can be, they went so far as to invite her to dinner and leave me out in the freezing cold. Yeah, walk away from that they will show nothing but hatred, even if you got them a $100. Bottle of wine they would just throw it away.
Story 4 If they're in the US, The OP's Girlfriend should look into a savings account. If she can get a large enough sum at a given time (about $1M USD), and just living off of the interest. Even at just 5% APY, $1M would make $50k per year (about $26 and change per hour when compared to a normal 40 hour work week), and if she's willing to be a little poor for a year or 2, some of that money can always be reinvested to increase the total amount of money they would make in a year, meaning it won't be so detrimental if the OP's GF get's cutoff for not being a "good enough" daughter.
OP in the last story shouldn't have given up. That Karen mom is just gonna get more emboldened the next time she's "tired." Plus, that was OP's stuff! Dont just let her take it and start over!
Story 1: To say that Stacey's parents should watch out because, if this behavior continues, Stacey has a date in court when she's an adult, implies that Stacey's parents will give a darn about her after she turns 18. Stacey's parents are AH who DO NOT CARE about their daughter at all, so why would they care if she ends up in prison later in life?
Story 1: "Stacy, Dear. I'm sorry if your parents can't afford to buy you your own toys, but that doesn't mean that you can steal things from other people just because you want it."
Bet Karen would have done something to get her daughter under control then.
Nah. The daughter is a lost cause.
Put her in an orphanage.
Seriously? It's clear where the problem stems from. The MOTHER is just as entitled. It was the MOTHER reenforcing the behavior. She wouldn't have done anything differently.
Honestly, aunt Karen probably would've just started screaming. But pretending to think a rich person is poor is probably the fastest & easiest way to get under their skin.
Why does YT keep deleting my comments?
I dated a rich guy in high school and his parents were the complete opposite of OP’s girlfriend’s parents. They were super sweet people. I grew up poor and they never judged me for it
Story 4: Wow. OP and his girlfriend came up with a really good plan to see if this relationship can work. I’m impressed. I hope they can, but if they can’t… I hope she does still separate herself from her parents financially. Especially if they are the type of parents that don’t let her put anything in her name or give her actual money; that type of control is designed to be a fancy prison.
what that GFs parents are doing is called financial abuse. they need to report them ASAP
@@blazethecat363 I'm sure you're already aware most people in abusive situations don't even realize it's abuse.
But you're right; that's exactly what's going on.
@@blazethecat363 I agree. Ops GF needs a job that her parents don't know and therapy to help understand what had happen to her.
I can't even fathom letting that Karen take my shopping cart without telling her in no uncertain terms what she can go do with herself as I take my cart away from her. Good grief.
The OP in that story was being too wimpy by letting the Karen take her cart. Having a baby with you doesn’t give you the right to take someone else’s filled cart. The OP should’ve called for an employee, manager, or security the moment some ding bag made off with her cart, especially when her purse was there.
I couldn’t even finish that story lol I got way too upset lmao
Problem is that there is a kid in the cart. Then you have to deal with accusations of kidnapping.
@@HellDuke- Did you even read or listen to the story at all? There was no kid in the cart initially, Karen had the kid with her, then took OP's cart that had OP's groceries and purse. The Karen took the cart with the purse, *possibly* to steal. Why else would the Karen not get a cart of own at the entrance?
@@whitewolf3051The kid wasn't in the cart initially but Karen put them there...if op tried to take the cart back with the kid in it, there would have been a problem
Story 4: Oof, that attitude will never go away, those "parents" will probably just pass her off as "corrupted by her loser BF" because she decided to distance (and even cut) herself from the family.
Probably the best petty revenge is for both OP and his GF to make a huge living, the parents suddenly change their minds about the couple, and then the couple just rejects them, pointing out their money obsession.
Sorry, you can have all the money in the universe, but it means jack if you're a terrible person
All the money in the world can't buy class.
Get out now. Those parents will never change
From the description of the family and the culture they came from, I have a feeling they were Asian. Statue is huge for them when it comes to money and controlling their kids. I know some Asian families with money, and that pretty much sounds like what they go through.
Ok, so is the girlfriend an adult? If yes, tell her to act like one. If she can't or won't, then bye bye.
If only it was that simple. She will need a therapy to completely free herself from their influence. Good thing she's trying and I wish them all the best. I hope they will communicate well together to heal.
I love the third stories endings. It's basically the OP going "Smithers release the hounds" 😅
I remembered Mr Burns too!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep. Personally, if I was OP,the minute he demanded to speak to the man of the house,I'd have shown him the dogs and said "Still wanna talk to the Man of the house?"
If he then tries to report me for "Dangerous Dogs", I'll just tell the Cops there are PLENTY of signs ON the property line warning him..
@@flashstudiosguy could just show the dogs and say you know what they need a good meal 🤣
😂😂
@@CputtockDthomson i don't thinking feeding them junk food is a good idea lol
Last story is the reason Karens think they can keep getting away with entitled behavior. Stand up for yourself!
Exactly, the OP was too much of a wimp by giving into that woman. So what if you have a baby with you, that does not give the right to take someone else’s cart, especially not when it has their groceries in it. The OP should’ve gotten an employee or a manager involved.
Or Even just hold onto the cart & not let her leave with it! OP could have called the store & ask for a manager to come to isle .. but don't let her get away with it!
Story 3: I've seen a story where is is the modern equivalent of Annie Oakley, she live on a similar bit of land and when she kick out kids who were trespassing, their ma or pa came and demanded to speak to the man of the house, and OP brought our her 12 gage and said "this is the man in charge and he wants you to leave... now"
Love it!
Story 1 - Like mother, like daughter.
And honestly if Karen and her husband can afford to buy a brand new Porsche then she can easily afford to buy her daughter her own toy ponies (But this is a Karen we’re talking about so that ain’t happening) if Stacy’s attitude doesn’t change before she reaches teenage years or adulthood… then she’s going to be in for a world of hurt later on.
I have a feeling that Karen doesn't even know what her kid likes (contrary to OP that's aware that those ponies are a favorite). If she did know Stacy would probably have her own ponies already.
Stacy probably already has her own ponies already, but she doesn't have them with her RIGHT NOW...mine mine mine....gimme gimme gimme...moooooooooom! When they get home the toys would be thrown in the pile and ignored like any piece of property that didn't receive any personal value normally acquired through hard work or rarity.
@@meh2510 That sounds about right
I definitely agree with you @@meh2510
As a mom that has carried babies and toddlers through the store and toughed it out to avoid tantrums, that mom would've regretted challenging me by taking my cart and food. Nah bish, get your own.
I live for that level of self confidence and awareness
Soooo, McDonald's Karen CAN follow OP all the way outside to complain about where's her order...but she CAN'T just walk her ass up to the counter to check on her order???? Make THAT make sense!!!
She wanted power and control over the "employee" of the restaurant. She only sees them as personal servants and nothing more.
I have never been in a McD’s where they bring you your food. You wait near the counter until it’s ready. It’s fast food not a sit down restaurant. Bet her food was on the counter getting cold.
@@liad3I heard that they used to in the 80s/90s I think in some locations.
Well, little wonder she thought OP worked there! Don't all McD's employees wear reflective safety vests, hardhats, and big First Aid emblems?
@liad3. They will take stuff to the customer at a table at mine, but I'm in a rural county.
As a former retail worker, it always pisses me off when people don't even bother putting cold stuff back correctly. Right up there with leaving the carts in the middle of a parking lot (handicap spots excluded for obvious reasons) but seriously. That last EWW. "I'm sorry you have a baby and decided to procreate. Maybe walk your ass up there and get yourself a cart."
Ugh! When they put it on the candy by the checkout instead of just handing it to the cashier.
The baby was thirty pounds when you came into the store, so why didn't you get a cart then? Also, why are you just walking around the store with a baby in your arms if you aren't there for shopping? If you are there for shopping, how did you expect to do it while carrying your child?
As another former retail worker, specifically Walmart, I second this. What made this worse was Walmart's policy when someone would hand back their cold food in check out - we couldn't put it back even if it had literally just been pulled out of the fridge/freezer and was still cold, despite the fridges being within view of the register and I could verify they had just grabbed it. If it was refused at checkout then we had to take it to claims, which means dumping it out. Nothing is more frustrating than dumping 6 gallons of ice cold perfect milk that someone intended to use their WIC benefits for but had grabbed whole instead of the allowed 1% (if you ever received WIC or worked as a cashier for grocery, you know). So infuriating. I offered to take it home myself, nope. The loophole to this is if the customer puts the milk back in the fridge themselves, so now anytime I have food, especially cold food, that I choose not to get, me, my husband or my teen will take it back to its home shelf. We refuse to add to the waste. Thankfully other stores will put it away if it's still cold, this was Walmart only.
As a current retail worker(DG), Agreed. Though, on the shopping carts right now, it's them leaving them in the middle of the store, specifically, blocking the path out from checkout.
If i have something cold or frozen and change my mind I’ll take it back myself or hand to cashier i never leave cold stuff just anywhere. As for carts people parked next to corral and still leave cart on the side especially if they put it blocking anyone else from pushing their cart in there
Story number one: Karen is raising a monster. Children need to be taught boundaries, that the word no is a complete sentence and a sense of accountability. They can't always get what they want, the world will not bend over backwards for them and always let them have their way. Karen is not doing her daughter any favors. The fact that Karen tried to demonize OP for not coddling her brat tells me everything I need to know about her parenting style or lack thereof: very permissive, spoiled and nothing resembling even an ounce of structure. For God's sake, if they're that wealthy, they can buy the whole damn aisle of toys for her.
Such entitled kids often grow up to do prisontime. Karen must be so proud. 😒
@@lancerevell5979 true. With Karen and her husband being very well off, I'm sure they can afford the attorney fees and court costs.
Story #5 "yes, and your kid weighed just as much when you walked past the carts getting in. Your failure to plan is not my problem. Sadly, your child will have to deal with that until she's old enough to move away from you."
Last story - Tell Karen that having a 30 pound baby was HER problem. And you already told her where to go get a cart.
Story 1: "If you stop crying your mommy will buy you some ponies on the way home. She's rich. I'm sure she can afford 4 or 5 ponies. You'll do that for your darling daughter, won't you, Mommy?" That should shut them both up.
Also, where I live, we have storm doors. It's a glass outer door that stays closed and locked when you open your front door, so people can't just barge into your home when you open the front door. Also, if you said, "No" to someone who called ahead, and they still come over, you don't have to open the door for them. If they don't leave, call the police.
Your openings always puts a smile on my face, because even on my worst days, you calling us wonderful and beautiful is comforting
I don't think trespasser guy really cares that much about his kids. Probably just wanted them out of the house and out of his hair at any cost. A smart and caring parent would never allow or encourage their children to play unsupervised on a stranger's property. That's extremely stupid and potentially dangerous on multiple levels.
He's also probably a raging hypocrite who beats the shit out of anyone who steps on his property 😊
You can bet that he would have tried to sue OP, if his darling little monster kids had gotten hurt by her dogs. If they have been out. If one of the kids had gotten bit then there wouldn't have been much that the father could have done because his kids would have been trespassing with clearly posted no trespassing signs
@@Mew_Mokuba_Akari - Quite likely. Doesn't really care about his kids, but if he thought there was a cash payout to be had, I'm sure he would have jumped at the chance. He certainly seemed that shallow.
if the dog had even barked, the Ken would've (Attempted) To sue OP for every penny she has, and it wouldn't of been enough @@Mew_Mokuba_Akari
@@Mew_Mokuba_Akari I'm petty enough to countersue for damaging my dogs' very strict dietary regiment. "This is my land. Feeding my dogs blood is not allowed."
I live in a poor section of my city, and NO ONE would EVER take someone else’s shopping cart in a grocery store here! I bet it’s because everyone knows there may be consequences to doing so that they don’t want to deal with!
Story 3: If OP's lawn is public property due to being somehow accessible despite being fenced off, then his lawn is also public property because I can probably jump his fence if there is one.
Hey, I'm just using his logic. See how dumb it sounds?
Honestly, OP should've just called the cops, bet the entitled dad would've ran like a roach when ya turn on the lights the moment the squad cars showed up
@@brendanboomhour7606 The dogs were quicker, and you can't BS an angry dog into hearing your delusional logic. Also a restraining order on a piece of paper is not as effective a deterrent as the idea that a 120 lb. slavering murder machine might be wandering around on the property on any given moment. Might even make you think twice about trespassing on other people's properties as well.
Bravo on the Big Dog! Keep him lean, mean and hungry! 😎👍
Base on that logic, pretty much 90% of québec property surface are public.... I mean, all the farmers, all the property like my parents that live in the wood with big terrain ... half the village and pretty much all the house out of the village as nobody (or almost) have a back neighboard ... And base on his idea, if he park his car on the road, I can tell my kid to play with sling shot & metal balls near it without issue?!?
Actually the inside of his house also applies to that logic😈. Be sure to collect some expensive souvenirs from an authentic entitled idiots house
for the cart story i'm so petty i would put all my 250lbs on that cart and tell her to take it now
I had an office that children came to with their parents frequently. Had a 2 1/2 year old girl once who just didn't want to put my toys away when she was leaving. I told her it was time to put the toys to bed, could she help me? she put them all away nicely and I told her they would be waiting for her next time she came. She was fine after that.
Last Story: I work reshop at Walmart. Used to have people steal my cart and things in it if I walked away for a few seconds.
I have learned that it is impossible to stop them. I have used handcuffs, and people still try to steal them.
Dude in story #1 needs to grow a pair. You don't EVER force your way into my house. She would have been screamed at right then and there.
They walked in before he could stop them
The last story: So she had a kid. So what? The entitlement of some people who think they deserve special treatment just because they decided to create life is staggering to me. She claimed she was tired from carrying a toddler around? Then she should have got a cart when she came in the door. Simple logic, right? No. She had to steal someone else's cart that had their literal belongings in it. Suppose she stole the lady's purse. I wouldn't put it past her. After all, just based off of this interaction, it's clear she has no respect for boundaries, zero regard for the word no being a complete sentence and nothing resembling a sense of accountability. I'm also going to guess here that she's not above passing all of those negative qualities onto her her child.
The OP definitely was a wimp by giving into that crazy thing. Should’ve called an employee, manager, or security.
@@whitewolf3051 Perhaps not a wimp but, most likely, was so taken aback at the brazenness of that lady that she didn't know how to react in the moment. I agree that she should have been more assertive. However, stealing stealing a shopping cart already occupied by another customer really wasn't anything security or management could have done about it. Had she refused to give back her purse, then that would have been the point that security, if available, should have gotten involved.
@@iononcantomascrivo Nothing?! Pretty sure the Karen *would've* walked off with OP's purse *if* she wan't confronted about that. It's possible the Karen intended to steal the purse. The fact she didn't bother to get a cart herself from the entrance *could* mean the Karen was there to steal, the baby was an excuse.
@@whitewolf3051 Good point.
OP in story 1 should have told Stacy he'd get her some for Christmas/birthday since it was obvious her mom couldn't afford to buy them lol. Karen would have flipped her lid.
Story 1: OP sees this clearly, because those are his (?) in-laws. I bet wife's family is so used to catering to Karen, they just don't notice anymore.
I'm from Scottish ancestry of immigrant grandparents on both sides of my family, second generation born in America.
We're pretty much middle class and work for everything we have.
I went to HS with a bunch of trust fund kids of wealthy parents. A few were cool, while the majority were entitled a-holes. This was in the 80s, and I just didn't put up with their crap.
Story 5, we would have had it out about my cart, baby or not.
Or at least the OP should’ve called for an employee, manager, or security.
Her purse could have been stolen & she wouldn't have known...
About Story #4: in the U.S., many really rich people drive very ordinary cars like Honda Civics, precisely to avoid drawing unwanted attention to themselves. They’re actually safer (like from kidnapping and robbery) that way. I bet the the girlfriend’s parents don’t think that way, though….
Re: Last story
How op just capitulate like that?
It's beyond poor form to let a Karen walk over you. If you don't check 'em they'll never learn. Sometimes even checking them doesn't teach them; yet you don't let them disrespect you with their BS.
Story 3: OMG! I absolutely love dogs! I have had very protective dogs all my life, and this story made me so happy! We lived in a rural area, and for ANY stranger that came on the property, my wonderful, protective dogs were right there waiting for the command. I'm just saying, don't mess with the dogs.
Story 2 - If that woman had grabbed me like that I wouldn’t be as nice as OP, especially if she told me to check on her food and bring it to her.
I would have been petty and probably said "Sure ma'am let me check on that" and then walk out the door. At least that's what I hope I would have done.
I suppose I can check on your food while I'm calling the cops on on you for repeated assault. And if you seem to think I work here, that's still doesn't mean that it isn't assault because it's assault. oh, and by the way, since you were too absolutely mind-blowingly stupid to hear it the first time. I don't work here so since you're planning on having me work for you without actually paying me this is also a breach of constitutional law and the fact that it is slavery. so I'll just look on that food to make sure you're here long enough for the cops to arrive
Mom: "Move your car."
Me: "Naw, I'm fine right where it is."
Story 4: op found a real one for sure. Bless 🙏
Encourage GF to go (financially) no contact with parents. Even Full NC. They are venomous people, and full credit to GF for realising.
Find the girl a job, so she has financial independence; train her how to use money she has; get married on holiday somewhere. Good luck.
It doesn't take much to impress you. Poor thing.
For that last story I would have gone after her mainly for the deli meat as that Karen just wasted it. Also why was she carrying her child around the store in the first place when she could have grabbed her own cart when she walked in.
I swear some people have 0 brain cells.
Story 1: As soon as Karen said "sorry, I tried", at that point I would have picked up something of hers (purse wallet, coat, phone, etc.) and said, "sorry Karen I like this, maybe you should just go buy yourself a new one and let me have this one. Goodbye now and don't come back."
Story 4: This is a textbook "are you dating your girlfriend or her parents?" case. I hear stories like this from time to time, and that's my basic response. As long as your SO loves you, that's all that matters. You're not dating their parents, so they can get fucked.
But they'll always be there. They'll want to see their baby. They'll want to see their grandkids. They'll complain you don't spend holidays with them. They'll never stop complaining, never stop the emotional blackmail.
You DO have a relationship with your SOs family, and unless they're willing to cut off their family AND MOTIVATED TO STICK TO IT, it will be a problem forever.
Toy ponies story: Your mistake was opening the door to Karen and Stacey instead of making sure the deadbolt was engage
McD Karen story: While I have been to a few fast food places that will bring your order out to you, McDonalds ISN'T one of them, at least none that I've ever been to. And last I checked a hi-vis vest and a hard hat is not a part of the McDonalds' uniform. Karen might have wound up wearing my coffee if she pulled that BS (I usually add a bit of ice so it's drinkable faster).
Trespassing story: I think I would have waited until it idiot dad was just a couple of feet from the fence and then sent the dogs out to give him a scare.
GF's parents story: It sounds like gf has some sense, but is understandably afraid to make a big change. OP, if you don't have one, buy a decent small safe (not a lockbox) to stuff valuables (like those credit cards) in, not to prevent their use, to prevent them from being lost or stolen. Get her documents as well and stuff them, as well as yours, in the safe. Does gf have a job? You weren't clear on that, but it sounds like she wants to make a change. Good luck and best wishes.
Cart stealing Karen story: I'm almost surprised there wasn't a pile of OP's groceries dumped on the floor somewhere in the store. Good grief!
At McD's, if they're running behind or there's a rush, they will ask you to park and will bring your order to you.
@@wmdkitty But that's not the routine normally. Normally you stand at/near the counter until your meal is ready.
@@merlinathrawes746 I was talking drive-thru.
A couple of enraging stories here, but OPs who won't stand up for themselves. First, the Karen who forced her way into OP's home, and later, the Karen who stole the grocery cart. HELL NO - in both cases!
1ST STORY... get into the drivers seat of her car and say i want this...see what she says then...
Story #3, I would have said, "Yes and are you a good runner?" And said Let's see if you can make the gate before the men of the house!! Go boys!! LOL!!
Story 5: I've had my shopping cart taken. The person put my groceries into someone else's cart. The person that ended up with my stuff was really nice about it. But the situation still pisses me off.
Story 4: Nah, OP isn't wasting his time since the gf was willing to talk it out and come to an agreement. The most important part of a relationship of any kind is communication.
Story 1, Karen's daughter is liable to get smacked around a few times, before she becomes an adult.
11:06
love that
"when my husband isnt home, THESE are the men of the house"
*Reveals doggos*
I love this women
Just when I think nothing else could surprise me, a Karen steals a grocery cart with someone else’s groceries in it because it was convenient for her!!!
Story 1: I had this altercation with an adult once...not a child.
If I had had toy horses when I was a kid and someone tried to take them, heads would have rolled!
I'm jealous of the lady with the sugar maples. They're not native to this area. I've been using both red and Norway maples to make mine. I'd rather have the sugar maples. They normally have a higher sugar content and you don't need as much sap to make syrup.
On the last story, wow, that was one entitled karen thinking ill just steal someone's cart instead of getting my own.
Helll no for the cart story. Someone tried that with me before in a store, I just screamed for a manager after she kept tryna walk away with the damn thing.
Story one. I wouldn't even have opened the door for her.
Last story: “Didn’t you hear me? I’m tired!”
“Didn’t you hear me? I don’t give a fuck!”
"If you want my sympathy, look in the dictionary between 'shit' and 'syphilis'!" -Major Payne
Story 1 - If I had been OP, I wouldn't have "bit my tongue to keep from lashing out". I'd have told her off good and proper!
Story 2: I would have gone extra petty by getting her order, bringing it over and then starting to eat it right in front of her. "What? You said to bring it here but you didn't say to give it to you."
That sounds hilarious 😂
1st OP should take their daughter to the EM's home, tell her to cling to the most expensive car and say "i dont think she'll let go, you should just buy a new one". Oh jow the turn tables.
Story 2: What I would say to the Karen at McDonald's is, "you obviously don't understand a simple premise of neighborliness, of which mister Rogers would definitely approve, which is, 'Ask and you may receive. Demand and you get nothing. Would you like to try that again?"
Story 1: Seriously it won’t be long until an adult Stacy is getting a list of charges read out to her in a courtroom.
Story 2: This one is definitely a IDWHL moment.
Story 3: OMG that idiot entitled man-child father would let his kids cross the DMZ in Korea.
Story 4: The sooner OP’s girlfriend cuts off her entitled and snobbish parents would be the best thing for her. Also if her parents can’t respect or accept OP then both should refuse the parents to allow them to see their grandchildren, if OP and his girlfriend ever have kids.
Story 5: Do Not Let People like that entitled mother get away with that behaviour! That just encourages them to act even more entitled, I hate entitled parents that they think they can do anything and everything just because they’re a parent. So what, their kids are not my nor anyone else’s responsibility. Snatch the trolley back and call for security and inform the the security guards for the attempted theft of the purse and the groceries and if the entitled mother gets in trouble with the law, well it’s a case of TFS.
Tbh, I hate people who roll over and let Karens get away with things almost as much as Karens themselves. If you didn't actually do anything to help yourself, then you lose any right to complain.
About the third story, I hope OP and her husband have outside cameras because we all know any imbeciles can do very bad things, even on big dogs, only to have the last word on people who didn’t enable them in their bad behaviors.
Story 4 - I don’t know if I could put up with people like the girlfriend’s parents. But if OP and his girlfriend are serious about their relationship then I hope for the best to them both. Also if girlfriend’s parents start harassing them then I’d get a restraining order against them.
They should just move away and live their own lives. Be no contact!
Story 4: It sounds like OP's GF is one of the good ones who didn't inherit their toxic parents' attitude and I hope she can support herself financially and that the period of adjustment isn't all drama.
IF I was the manager, I would've walked up to OP and said "I'm sorry sir, but you're fired..." then burst out laughing with OP
No way in heck would I let someone walk off with my shopping cart! I would have told her, her inability to carry ger child is NOT my problem, she can hold the kids hand and walk him up to the front and get one herself. I would also question her intelligence if she doesn't understand that. If she wanted to get in a shouting match I am more than willing to show her I have VERY good lungs! Why didn't she grab a cart in the first place??😮
Story 1: I've been in similar situations. I use brute force to remove the belongings from the offending party.
Most of the time the people who call others selfish are the selfish ones. Could have said when she was complaining that her daughter was upset “well I don’t want MY daughter upset so I’ll keep what is ours”
Last story - OP, it’s on you. You let Karen get away with it. Now someone else has to deal with her entitled ass. Emboldened by getting away with it before.
The OP was too wimpy in this case.
@@whitewolf3051 sadly that is the case
So, if anyone wants to hear the reason the tresdpass story today hit home for me:
This morning my husband found his car doors open. Mind you, we live on 80 acres of redwood forest, so, that's weird. Down below at the main house my mom's car has also been invaded. We're freaking out, feeking violated & creeped out AF.
We've had tresspassers before, some rando girls I saw on my walk that I didn't stick around to make sure they were friends of my son (my assmption at the time) cuz my dogs were going nuts and I get embarassed about it. But no, nobody had guests, these girls just drove up. Parked. And explored a strangers land in Humboldt county. That kind of stupidity gets you shot by weed growers 'round here.
And another time some family wandered in and were peeking at my mom through her window! wtf
Anyway, *Today*, thankfully was different. After getting a kitchen knife and making sure there was no psycho killer hiding in a closet or something, as I go upstairs I look out the window...and notice the bear box has been shoved around.
You guys! Did you know bears can open unlocked car doors?!? I decided to google that very question, and yes, it was totally a bear! So I'm very relieved. But still a lil on High Alert. It's hard to come back down after starting the day that way!
I wish we had cameras to catch that on video. That bear found my husbands Clif bar hoard, hope his/her tummy is ok, lol.
It says something when you're relieved it was a bear opening your doors.
;-)
Cart story: I'd be the one yelling for the manager.
Exactly what the OP should’ve done, but was apparently too wimpy to do even that.
@@whitewolf3051 Technically, the woman stole from OP when she walked off with the cart and OP's purse. I used to work in a grocery store and I find it difficult to believe any mother would walk around the store carrying her kid like that. It was attempted theft. She just kept it going like she needed the cart for her kid and OP bought it.

Last Story: Annnnd it’s for this EXACT reason that entitled people continue to be entitled.

Story 3. Yeah after that one story about the guy who wanted to assault a women and was managed to be unalived by a malamute dogs. I wouldnt want to mess with that person lol.
Toy Horse Story: OP should have never opened the door in the first place or if they had to open it, stand in the doorway blocking it so Karen couldn't enter the home...
I would have...
And I'd have been very blunt when I told her that neither she nor her kid are welcome in my home due to their Narcissistic Entitled Behaviour and if they don't get off my Property in the next 10 seconds, I will call the Police and have her Arrested for Trespassing!

STORY #2: I would've retrieved the food and put it into my backpack and leave with it.
The last story the person is a total coward for not taking the cart back.
Story #3: The Kevin father was the epitome of being "stunningly brave" in the face of OP, but "stunningly cowardly" in the face of three incredibly annoyed canines.
Story #4: back when I was in my 20s, I "dated" (in the loosest definition of the word) a girl whose mother was one of the first women vice cops in the capital city. So....yeah, I was very much forbidden to take almost anywhere even remotely sketchy for fear of something happening.
In high school I had to show ID before taking out one girl. OK, she was in a foster home, but still...
One thing I have to say, as someone who has had upwards of three hundred bottles of wine around the homestead, is that anyone who derides a $25 bottle as cheap crap is someone who knows absolutely nothing about wine. A know-it-all snob I may be, but I consider the $20 to $25 range to be the sweet spot for quality for the money. Yes, I will happily pop the cork on a Margaux or a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but anyone can buy quality by throwing enough money at it, and even that doesn’t guarantee anything.
Price doesn't even really help compare at all. Its all personal preference. There's a 4.5 bottle at Costco that I freaking love and it being cheap is just bonus.
Exactly that's the reason to have a guard dog!!!
Story 4 ~ The moment her entitled mother demanded I move my vehicle to the back of the house so her neighbors wouldn't see it, I would have informed my GF I was leaving. She could either go with me or stay at her parents and they could arrange for her to get back home.
Gotta praise OP's GF that she is willing to do all that to go that far for OP. Good job.
Story 1 reminds me of when I was 7 years old and was visiting a rich kid the same age. I was a recent immigrant and so had next to nothing in the way of toys. I brought a Barbie that I inherited from an older cousin to play with and the child liked it and kept it. Her mother said nothing, and my late mom was too nice and let her keep it, but I still miss the doll 52 years later.
Story 4: Just... Damn. She REALLY wants to make it work. Trusting him to teach her how to live outside her parents' protective money-bubble?
I hope those two go far.
First story- that woman only had 1 reason to show up like that, knowing OP's daughter was sleeping- to cause trouble. Next time, do not let her in.
Some parents are batshwiit. My mother didn't speak to my SIL for the first 5 years of her marriage to my bro, and that was maybe 4-5 years after they started dating in high school. Seriously, if Mom, me and SIL were in a room together, my mother acted like SIL wasn't there; if I left, silence ensued until someone else came in. SIL is a fkg goddess for putting up with it - though honestly, she may have preferred that to Mom actually talking to her. 35 years of marriage later, I think SIL won the eventual battle.
Hell, no...grab my cart and my groceries? We're gonna have a problem.
Absolutely mind boggling that he flips her off and calls her the B word because they trespassed on her property???
story 1 is getting me really angry at Karen - she's got so much money and doesn't want to spend it on her own daughter?
story 2 is crazy - since when are McD workers wearing safety/reflective gear?
the last one is hard to believe... at least Karen handed over the purse instead of just walking away... Shopping Karts standing in the way is a common thing, even in Europe. A few weeks ago I was shopping in Germany and the store was packed because it's close to the German/Austrian border and lots of Austrian people go there for their big shopping trips (sometimes I see families with 2 or 3 shopping karts) Well, as I was in there, I had 2 karts just "parked" in the middle of the way... as I wanted to push them to the side, some crazy lady yelled at me "Why are you pushing my kart away?!" - my answer was just "because it's parked in my way, park it at the side next time" and then I walked away... I love this store because it has scanners for registered customers - makes shopping way easier, you scan your stuff yourself and then you go to self-checkout, scan the code on the scanner and pay. This way I'm always out of there after 15-30 minutes, depending on how much I'm buying.
A friend of mine, when he finds abandoned carts in his way will push them to the side and helpfully put a few random items from the nearest shelf into them.
it takes a special kind of idiocy to ask a guy dressed in nothing even resembling Golden Arches uniform to get your food.
Story 4: OP will deal with them the rest of “their lives” if he marries their daughter not the rest of his life.
story #4. Does the GF work? Her apartment, her vehicle, her CREDIT CARDS are all being paid for by the parents. Does GF have money of her own? If she isn't working, if she doesn't have her OWN money, then OP, call it quits. If GF doesn't want to be an adult, I doubt that she will change.
He's being setup. What do you think her parents are going to do when they find out he has all her finances?
OP should have told that ED "Chopper Sick Balls"
Story 4 - OP should have had a notarized agreement signed and notarized in case the parents attempted to have him arrested claiming he's abusing their daughter
Story 5: I always find it irritating when people are pushovers. Like bro just let Karen be disrespectful! If you don't grab your damn cart and stand up for yourself. Good grief man
Story 5: I'm sorry, I'm not trying to victim blame, but this OP needs to stop being a doormat before it escalates to something worse. Seriously, being that hopeless at standing up for yourself that you can't just GRAB THE CART BACK, or grab stuff out of it, or any number of solutions, that's in "losing respect for you" territory.
Stand up for yourselves, don't let others steal from you, you're not starting a fight, you're finishing it. They're the ones who started the fight.
I would have taken the kid out of the cart, given it back to the mother and told her to go get her own cart!!!
I'd have told her, "Get your filthy Hellspawn OUT OF MY CART, B!"
I'd call the Manager and security to deal with this EB, right NOW! 😡
S4: So your girlfriend left her “controlling” parents to shack up with op and now he’s also being controlling by giving her an allowance while also going 50/50.
Seriously the girlfriend needs to get her own place and learn how to take care of herself financially.
She should also dump op because she’s not responsible for how her parents feel about op. The fact that he was willing to dump her over this is telling of his personality. Obviously he's done nothing to prove to her parents why he's worthy of their daughter outside of being a jealous little man. Plus if the most you can afford to pay is twenty-five dollars for a cheap of wine then you aren't good enough for their daughter. Also I'm not buying the crap about the girlfriend being abused by her parents because I don't find op truthful.
Story 5: Now imagine having the European style Carts where you have to put a quarter in to get your cart. Then this here becomes theft
Dude, walk away from that relationship it will not end well for you, my ex was the same way, her parents were crabby, self-centered, and as arrogant as can be, they went so far as to invite her to dinner and leave me out in the freezing cold. Yeah, walk away from that they will show nothing but hatred, even if you got them a $100. Bottle of wine they would just throw it away.
Story 4
If they're in the US, The OP's Girlfriend should look into a savings account. If she can get a large enough sum at a given time (about $1M USD), and just living off of the interest. Even at just 5% APY, $1M would make $50k per year (about $26 and change per hour when compared to a normal 40 hour work week), and if she's willing to be a little poor for a year or 2, some of that money can always be reinvested to increase the total amount of money they would make in a year, meaning it won't be so detrimental if the OP's GF get's cutoff for not being a "good enough" daughter.
OP in the last story shouldn't have given up. That Karen mom is just gonna get more emboldened the next time she's "tired." Plus, that was OP's stuff! Dont just let her take it and start over!
Story 1: To say that Stacey's parents should watch out because, if this behavior continues, Stacey has a date in court when she's an adult, implies that Stacey's parents will give a darn about her after she turns 18. Stacey's parents are AH who DO NOT CARE about their daughter at all, so why would they care if she ends up in prison later in life?
