@@DarkFluff OMG! You replied to me! Almost fainted. Thanks for all your awesome content! I am still watching your old vids rn. Hugs and kisses to you and Steve-o and your fams!
If I came across even a legitimately broken Les Paul for $50 I'd jump on it and never look back. That or an old Flying V, I'll fix that shit or pay to get it fixed for less than half of what it is worth. Then I'd cherish her until I kick the bucket.
Exactly if the person is selling something that you know it's worth a lot more, it is not your problem. Only time I would say something is if I knew the person was struggling like an elderly person. Only then would I tell them and if they were nice. It they came across as get off my lawn then screw them.
My response is that "You didn't give me a choice in the matter so it's null and void." Though my mother can't pull that. She didn't give birth to me, she adopted me. LOL
A buddy of mine has a prosthetic leg...gets kids questioning him all the time. If they're young enough his favorite response is "Ah, they just haven't got the skin on it yet. I'm actually a robot." The looks on those kids faces...priceless.
My husband has a pretty big face/nose disfigurement and when kids ask what happened he tells them "listen to your parents when she says don't pick your nose" the kids look mortified. Cracked up a few parents too.
I saw the opposite happen: guitarists from a power metal band trying to play their own songs on Guitar Hero, and they couldn't do it. Even on the easiest setting. They even commented "this is a video game, it's nothing like playing a guitar".
@@StormsparkPegasus it’s more about notation. if you can read music, guitar hero comes easier. and on the flip side, playing guitar hero actually helped me learn to read sheet music
@@StormsparkPegasus I heard a story very much like that. There's a song by the group, Dragonforce, called Through the Fire and Flames. You get to play it on expert level, and it's really hard. The guitarist from Dragonforce, who obviously knows full well how to play the song, tried to play it on Guitar Hero and he failed.
As a musician, that Les Paul story is just a dream. My stomach sank when he talked to the Karen, and I was praying OP didn’t tell her the actual value of it
As far as I'm aware, there's no such psychiatric condition called "entitlement". There is, however, sociopathy. We've really got to stop calling behaviour like this mere entitlement, like it's a mild case of social unawareness. It's not. Totally agree with your strategy. Except OP is stuck in the "playing the poor victim" role, and needs to break that habit too.
@@Kayenne54 I'm pretty sure op doesn't even realize that her mom is being abusive, you can't be stuck in a poor victim mentality if you don't even know your a victim
I was thinking that OP was brought up and conditioned to think her mother’s behavior is somewhat normal and they do not have any power against her. OP needs therapy and a restraining order.
With that EM's record of BS, OP needs to get a no harassment or restraining order against her. Notify building management that she is NEVER allowed entry to OP's apartment.
Story three.... EM thinks OP is "rude"? That's the pot calling the kettle black. EM is extremely rude. She needs to learn how to parent her demonspawn.
I'd be like "Sure, but you gotta take off your bra and shirt in public, I want to try those on - you know, see how they fit me." It's a MEDICAL device, made for one person - that's basically like trying to ask to try on someone's underware, which that creepy EM would apparently do. Gross.
No, EM's use the word 'rude' as code for not being allowed to do what they or their hellspawn want to do. EM wanted to use OP as free entertainment while she plays on her phone. Learn to parent and not be asses.
Story 2: HELL to the NO! Document all moments of abuse, get a restraining order, and cut off all contact with her. If she comes knocking with a bang, get the police involved.
It is called a bucket here in the US. I've bought a few. And I must agree. Goblet sounds much better as all I can imagine when I think popcorn goblet; is a literal midevil style goblet filled with popcorn.
The guitar story where the mom thinks her child is a musical prodigy reminds me of my days as a middle school science teacher when parents would explain to me that their child was a scientific genius because they watched the Discovery Channel all the time!
I was shunned by the other kids in Science an Physics classes. My Physics teacher told the class, "If you have any questions about Electricity or Electronics, ask Michael." I taught myself enough Electronics to test out of a tree year engineering school while in Basic training. I was constantly called names, because I started working in a TV shop at 13.
The moment the kids became organized and came at OP is the moment to call the authorities. You have no idea how are the assault is going to go. And yes it is assault condoned by the mother, curious kids or not.
What is with these entiled parents that they can tell people with disabilities that they can play with someone else's wheelchairs, fake legs or other stuff. Teach your entiled self and your kids some manners.
Several years ago I had a mobility scooter after having reconstructive foot surgery. While shopping in Walmart with my husband I decided to sit and take a break. My husband was looking at stuff nearby when some guy got my attention to tell me some kid was stealing my scooter. He tried to stop the kid as my husband came over and tried to grab ahold of the scooter. Kid screamed, the mom (Queen Karen) came running accusing us of abusing and stealing from her innocent little angel. We told her it was mine and not a toy but she argued that I’m lying and just don’t want to share my toy (yes she called it that) with him and I’m too old for it. A couple employees from the pharmacy saw it and came to help us. They ended threatening to get security (that store had security due to its location) to have her kicked out. I got it back but not with out being heavily insulted and the kid trying to kick my foot that I literally had surgery on 2 days prior. Karen got even more mad when I told her that I hope her crotch goblin turns out exactly like her. My husband, the helpful stranger and employees got a pretty good chuckle out of what I said,
When I got my first wheelchair people would just grab the handles and start pushing me without asking, even though I protested saying please stop i don't need help, I am waiting for someone. It was insane. The more I protested the more they would say "oh it's ok, I don't mind I am happy to help". I had to resort to putting KY jelly on my wheelchair handles to make people stop touching them and get them to stop and listen to me. I also have a walking stick to get the attention of people who ignore my protests or completely ignore me and stand in way. I have no problem with people asking if I need help, I really appreciate it as sometimes I do need help. But people who just take it upon themselves to push me, usually in the wrong direction, without even asking if I needed help or asking permission to touch me now get a poke with my stick.
I’ve been in a wheelchair twice in my life. The first time was when I had an infection in my ankle - I was in it for 6 months and graduated to crutches, then sticks. I was then in one temporarily about 15 years ago when I had severe Cellulitis in both my legs. Each time I was in hospital but even kids of patients would ask if they could have a go in my chair and I told them no. Thankfully they listened when I explained why. I have moved from sticks back to fixed height crutches again now as my health has deteriorated over the years and you wouldn’t believe how many people think it’s ok to pick up my crutches and ‘have a go’ when I’m sat at a bar or in cafe ! The amount of people who have asked if I can make them shorter for them is unbelievable ! When I tell them I can’t, some have even asked me ‘Why not ?’ Because they are made for MY height ?! I’m 6ft 5ins. and around 300 lbs. Also, my crutches were specially made for me on the NHS and cost a lot of money and I don’t want them getting damaged because I don’t have any spares
I generally use a walker when I'm out. It's actually really nice - very lightweight, electric blue, and has a small padded seat in the front - convenient when I need to take a quick break. I've lost count of how many kids have run over and plopped down on the seat, even as I'm trying to walk. I get that it's cute, and the seat looks kid-sized (I'm a small person), but it's still a medical device! I'm always nice to them, even when I'm startled or hurting, and explain that this is something I need to use in order to walk. The million questions don't bother me - they're curious, I get it (I'm a Grandma). It's when the parents get involved and start making ridiculous, rude demands that I stop being so friendly. Honestly, I hate having to say no to kids - but no, I won't let them sit on my walker while the moms finish shopping. I'm also not going to let it out of my sight, so "taking it for a spin around the store" is not an option. 🙄
@@tankmeltedargon8831 I am so sorry people treated you like that but I would’ve loved to see the reaction of the person after you put KY jelly on your chair lol.
I used to say extra large bucket when getting popcorn, but the movie theaters where I am started using plastic and paper bags instead. If the buckets return I shall call them goblets
yeah, because Texas is a Constitutional Carry state and attempting to force your way into a residence could end up with the County Coroner getting called
I don't understand why she wanted to stay in OP's house. Her claim was her house was too crowded with family, not that there was no electricity. OP's house didn't have electricity, so how would an empty house with no electricity be better than a crowded house with electricity when the wind chills were at like 10 below zero F? She claimed OP not letting her use his house that has no electricity mean she and her child would freeze to death, but OP's house didn't have any heat. The woman has no brain.
The story about the person with a disability, I can relate to them very much. A few years ago I was diagnosed with something called FND when I started having daily seizures to multiple daily seizures. My doc did say there are other symptoms I could develop and there’s no cure. About a year ago I started developing these twitches in my hands and feet (specifically my fingers and toes) and now have very noticeable motor and vocal tics. I was devastated to find this out because of all the crap people who have this or Tourette’s are being subjected to. My husband convinced me to go grocery shopping with him and as we were shopping I was noticeably ticking and saw some grown man laughing and filming me. Before I could control it I did start crying a bit (I’m insanely self conscious, especially now). About 5 or 10 min later the same guy who was filming me came up to me with a Walmart employee and another shopper. The other shopper saw what previously happened and grabbed an employee to confront the guy. The guy apologized and deleted the video. Turns out the customer had a really close friend with Tourette’s but sadly took t1heir own life due to bullying. He didn’t like seeing me cry. Before anyone asks about my husband, he was there and grateful for the guy stepping up. He didn’t say anything to the guy coz I asked him not to and he’s so supportive.
Have you tried using food grade diatomaceous earth? Look it up. It may help. It detoxes you. Be sure, if you use it, to also take in a lot of fluids and healthy oils (organic grapeseed, avocado, olive, etc). Stay away from sugar, and junk food. Try to only eat whole foods (plenty of books on Amazon), and maybe some microgreens? Maybe add some spicy foods to your diet, if possible, to help with inflammation. Turmeric with black pepper is also great for inflammation and infection.
@@jenniferkay9789 I appreciate the recommendation but not sure it’ll help much. I have a neurological disorder that affects the electrical output from my brain to my body. It’s essentially misfiring and sending wrong signals. There’s no cure and I’m working with my neurologist and other docs to find ways to work through the symptoms when they flare up.
That really sucks. I have been around mental and physical disabilities all my life and it seems like the acceptance people cry about do not include disabilities. I have noticed that their entitlement often lies in two camps; either treating others as an inferior that needs to stay away with mochary (as in your story) or distain, or as a person in need of salvation which often time belittles the person's abilities (like talking slow cause one has a limp or is blind) or shows up in possible cures that others might do (in your case, telling your husband he should be more comforting for some odd reason). It sucks. However, like the customer who knew someone with Tourette's, there is a level of understanding that people can gain through exposure, so it is possible to build a network of friends who help you feel accepted and understood. Keep in there.
I'm have epilepsy and Parkinson's caused from TBIs that for the last 21 years have made my life hell. My neurologist stopped counting the scars of the concussions on my MRIs at 200. He said that he has never seen that many scars in a person ever. I was a 2 way player in high school football on the offensive and defensive lines. To the point were in games I literally didn't know where I was in the game. But I still kept playing. I literally kept having seizures until about 4 years ago when they think I literally broke the focal points in my brain from all the damage.
@@DinnerForkTongue true, it is only that Spain was the only one honest about the plague. However, because USA was trying to put on a brave face during the warring time, there was a huge disconnect at the end of the first wave between medical science and military leaders, where the second would tell their subordinates "don't move people because I said so." Well, the news did not seem that important to recall I believe it was 5 infected soldiers who were crammed in a crowded train and sent across the country to another crowded camp where the freezing of winter had everyone huddled together around a single fireplace for warmth and survival (seriously, the outer ring died of hypothermia). Well, as we should have remembered for COVID, this only lent to infecting the whole camp, then the soldier's loved ones who demanded to see them WITH THE ARMY NEVER HAVING THE BALLS TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A PANDEMIC LIKE SPAIN, CAUSING THE SECOND AND MORE DEADLY ROUND OF THE FLU! What spread the flu was a combination of wartime to mix all the countries, and the stupidity of denying it to save face.
@@Atlessa they don't. They also don't know that you can legally do a lot of medical care in public, such as giving yourself shots. Yeah, that's a fun one. I had someone tell me I was breaking the law because "It's illegal to inject in public". Yeah, no, it's not. I was also at work, how dumb would you have to be to do illegal drugs at work where there are cameras?
Unless the person specifically asks for or is open to help, had to help up a gentleman who took a misstep trying to get into his car and he was stuck sitting beside it. And while working I'll always politely ask if any customer needs help with anything if I meet them in the store, especially if they look confused or lost, I'm more than happy to help them find something quickly or get items that are too awkward or high up for them, people always appreciate it so long as you ask first just to be sure, even just asking when they don't need help is appreciated pretty often I find
Still remember one story where a crotch goblin dropped a babies heart monitor while his entitled dad argued with the mom to let his kid play with it because he was bored.
I feel a bit bad, but when my daughter was little, I always taught that if someone had a disability, rather than whisper or point, I would rather her just ask the person about it. I grew up disabled and that was my preference. But if they said, "no thank you" I also taught her to respect that. Mostly because I was trying to teach her that just because a person had a disability didn't mean that it was scary or spooky, that they were people, and were worth getting to know.
Same here, and well said! If a kid comes up and stares, I know what's up and I acknowledge them. I am aware that the child has probably never really encountered anyone with a disability (I'm sure we can throw in many adults into that too), so I will take the time to tell them simple and sweet. And if they are polite, I will thank them for it. To be honest, I've had more issues with those Karen types than I have with children. And yes, I've had people say "Well, that's not your place to have to do that." Maybe...maybe not, but...I've had parents and teachers at my daughters' school thank me for taking the time and that their kids have better interactions with people that have disabilities because of it.
@@adtrlthegamer7449 Give her the address to Buckingham Palace and see if she ends up on the news for flying internationally and harassing the guards there to let her in
the guitar story: that lady sold a rare guitar that was among literal rock star legends like Elvis Presly and johnny cash and other rock and metal bands of the 1970's! if I was her husband I would really have her pay for a new genuine, authentic guitar of equal or better value
I honestly wouldn't have the conscience to take a guitar like that for the price, even from an entitled Karen. Also, there could be legal implications too since the purchaser obviously knew the (at least approximate) true value of the guitar when he bought it.
OP was a Karen or a Chad themselves. You buy the fucking guitar and leave. What was with the long, self righteous 3rd degree? You see a $50 Les Paul, you buy it and go. 🙄
17:43 The mom probably thought that Guitar Hero was actually a guitar simulator. There were typing games in the 80s and 90s that literally taught you how to type. Like enemies would be approaching you and they had a word stamped on them, and if you type that word the monster is killed. So the more words you can type accurately the longer you can survive in the game, meaning a high score direclty translates to skilled typing. Guitar Hero doesn't use an actual guitar of course, so it's not the same there, but to someone who has never played the game I can understand how they might equate a high Guitar Hero score to an actual ability to play guitar.
That fake leg story reminded me of something that happened with my son. My husband was in the military and I often had to bring my son to the military hospital because of a birth injury. He was now about four years old and we were walking down the hospital corridor when a young soldier came around the corner. The man was a bilateral below the knee amputee. He was wearing shorts so his prosthesis legs were fully visible. My son says VERY LOUDLY, "Mom! Look!" The young man looked up and I know I must have had an expression of horror as I waited for my son's next words. "It's a war hero!" The man smiled and I was relieved. I didn't think my son would say anything mean, but who knows what is going to come out of a toddler's mouth.
Mom: I paid a lot of money for these tickets! Me: So did everyone else in here. And there's a lot more of them. Story 3: I was half expecting the Karen to follow OP home to keep arguing about the leg
In the second story if I was OP I. Would have said “I don’t give a damn if your my mother I’m allowed to have my own personal space, if you want the keys to MY paid for Condo you can give me the money needed to pay for the next few months since apparently it’s “Yours”. So unless you want to be paying extra money for something you have no authority over for absolutely nothing except for a tiny piece of metal back off and stop asking for a Key!” Thankfully my mother was a very kind loving lady even though her parents were.. not the best. I say was because my mother is sadly no longer with us.
Story 2.... HECK NO! Do not give her a key and don't give one to any family member that you think would buckle under her pressure. She may go after them for a copy if she knows you gave them one. Last Story.... forcing your way into a home... in Texas???? The lady was lucky she didn't get shot!!!!
Story 4: At the point the lady said, "yes, the price is correct", shut the eff up, pay the $50 and effing walk! Asking more questions and hinting the price seems low is a good way to blow a damn good deal! As a guitarist myself, a Gibson Les Paul for $50 is a steal, particularly if it's in decent physical condition. Even if it doesn't work, they are surprisingly easy to work on, you'd likely spend less fixing it than purchasing one at value. It's kinda like finding a 1970 SS Chevelle 454 in a barn for $500.
There's a BIG difference between a video game and a real musical instrument. Does the game controller even have strings? To play a real instrument you first must be willing to put the hours in. So spending 3k on something that's going to get used 30 minutes is dumb. At least the instrument is in the hands of someone who put it to good use.
It has a "lever" that acts kind of like the string, and it's not COMPLETELY unreasonable to go from the game to an actual guitar in much less than 3k hours. I started out with the same game and ended up buying my first guitar because of it. Learned to play my first simple songs in only one or two days (not saying I didn't make mistake, but it was recognizable) and never stopped practicing ever since. I still play on that very same guitar almost 15 years later. It's a "no-name" but I still haven't found another one that I like anywhere near as much.
It kinda boggles my mind that the husband obviously knew it was valuable and that wasn't broken and that the son just needed to learn how to use it to make it work, but he hadn't made that clear to either of them until it was gone apparently.
@@annana6098 I think it's more likely that the parents are separated and the guitar was left with the entitled kid and mother. It sounds like the grandfather willed it to the grandson, so the father couldn't do anything about it because he wasn't there.
Watch her NOT agree with that. I really want to see OP call up grandma to tell her about what her daughter was doing. Watch the grandma pull the same nonsense and inevitably watch her be the biggest hypocrite. Grandma: since I’m your mother, your stuff is mine. Egg donor: no it’s not! Grandma; that’s what you told OP. If you don’t like it, DON’T HARASS OP for it! Now shut the fuck up or I WILL disown you and cut you from the will! Idiot!
I play guitar. That Gibson Les Paul story was incredible and I figured she would be looking for him after the fact but not even a court of law would reverse the sale. Personally, I prefer the B.C. Rich models. 80's guitars at their greatest! because I'mma metal head.
That lady with the leg disability should have said “I’d like to look through you bag and credit cards and then let me see her underwear… what, is that too private? SO IS MY LEG!”
on the mom demanding the keys to the daughter's condo, tell her, Ok...your condo, you make the bank payments and pay the utilities. The condo is $1500 per month paid to National Bank. Utilities are $550, paid to the electric and sewer/hydro.
I think that guitar story had a very happy ending, not just for OP, but for the guitar as well. Instead of going to someone who doesn't even know much about guitars and his experience of playing guitar comes solely from guitar hero, where that guitar would not have been appreciated properly it "found a home" with someone who knows about guitars and was able to properly appreciate and care for the guitar.
I had my own share of small encounters with entitled people this weekend. First was some douche constantly revving his engine through a parking garage, because apparently nobody was going fast enough for him. Later, once we finally got to the movie we were going to see, a bunch of kids started talking the second the movie actually started. After telling them to be quiet, one of the girls just laughed and said "I don't want to". And, of course, once the movie was over, they could be bothered to take any of their trash to the trash can they had to walk passed to leave.
Urgh I've had that exact same experience in a movie theatre and they even went as far as to put their feet up on the back of our seats. Fucking cretins
Second story: change the locks, tell your mom you sold the place and moved in with a friend. Get a P.O. Box and give her that as an address because you don't take mail at your residence.
Story 2: reminds me of another entitled mother who stole her daughter's car because the daughter won't do any chores crazy mother told her to do. Daughter lives on her own place and bought her own car and is 22 yrs old. Crazy mom stole the car because she says she owns it by law.....
Yeah and she told the judge, that what she told same thing to police that it's the law that what her daughter owns it's her and then later she told it to judge and judge quickly silenced her :) But for another years, she was saying to all the family that judge didn't knew the law and she is right :)
Oh, yeah, I love that story. That aunt is insane and so very much a "I'm the master and ruler of everything my daughter owns and should do" kind of person. She's dead now, I feel bad for satan because even hell must seem like hell to him after she arrived there.
The referring to things as "she" is just what you do with things you're passionate about. I fucking love the line "her soul was singing the joys of freedom" its actually the most beautiful thing ever. I say stuff like that about golf clubs and rollercoasters
One day, while playing a board game, my daughter was giving my wife crap about a move she made, and my wife said how dare you say I cheated, I bore you. My son who was also playing said without missing a beat, "every day mom, every day" LOL
No kidding, did that woman forget what state she was in, was she trying to get herself killed, or was she really that stupid? Texas is the LAST fucking first world place I'd ever want to try that in
I prefer having Mossberg back me up in cases like that. Something about seeing that dime-sized bore inspires a previously-missing politeness and civility.
Story 2: No. Give her NOT the actual key. At max a decoy key so she thinks she has what she "asked" for. If she by some miracle gains access to the condo without being invited call the cops. I'm relatively certain mom will escalate it herself as Karens tend to do. Regardless of that set boundaries and enforce them. Give her an ultimatum that she shall apologize and stop talking about the condo and referring to your property as her property. If she can't or won't go NC. Mention that consequence when you give said ultimatum. Family or not that is NOT acceptable behavior and she should be subject of an extended wellness check herself as that level of entitlement borders mental illness.
Story 2- "I'M YOUR MOTHER/FATHER!!" "WE'RE FAMILY!" "I RAISED YOU SO YOU OWE ME!" Okay, I may sound harsh but I don't fricking believe in any of those bs anymore. I honestly think that it doesn't exist anymore. NO ONE, family, friends, or neither, ever demand for anything they want without any respect to anyone at all. To earn your friends or family's trust, people need to fricking respect and treat each other properly at all cost. NO BUTS OR WHAT IFS. Story 3- This is why I can't be near any kids at all. Now mind you, I want to be a mom in the future, but right now, I can't deal with kids who don't behave. Knowing that parents allowing their kids to misbehave and treat others badly is what got me pissed off. Parents who allow such things like that need to improve their parenting or just don't have kids at all.
If you find a Les Paul at a garage sale for $50 and assuming it isn't a Chibson (Chinese counterfeit Gibson and hell, it still may be worth it), and as long as it isn't irreparably physically damaged, you pay for it before anyone else notices or has time to change their mind. RUN.
2nd story: First: warn your mother that if she continues doing these "stunts" you will go FULL NO CONTACT with her! Secondly,: let whoever manages the Condos know that you have given out spare keys to those who are welcomed to enter, and to NOT give anyone else a key or access without calling you first and getting your permission to enter. No mater how many times they call, unless you answer and say: "Yes", that they shouldn't let anyone in!!! (They should already know to do this, but I can see your mother trying to get them to give her a set of keys saying that she lost hers and that she has your permission to get a new set....) Thirdly: do document all the Bull Scat that she has done in the past, and if need be DO Go Full No Contact, including a Restraining Order which will be much easier to get if you have documented (and/or recorded) her threats of kicking you out of your own place and other such ABUSE! Yes Abuse!!!
2nd Story: My mother finally told me there isn’t enough money in the world to pay her back for all I owe her. Apparently this is my debt due from being born of her. This came up because she owes me in the low 6-figures in U.S. Dollars… That was finally how she let me know she was never going to pay back her debt… This was a real loan, not the numerous gifts I’d given her over the years… Sigh…
At that point, you just need to bite the bullet and sue her for what she owes you + legal fees. Especially if you have documentation saying it was a lone. And if you don't have documentation saying it was a lone... what the heck are you doing? Always document.
My favourite thing to do with entitled parents with small kids, is stare into the parents eyes and ask, "Hey kids, wanna learn some new suuuuuuuper bad swear words? cause your about to if your mommy/daddy doesn't shut up". Usually they don't shut up and I get the start throwing out the nastiest most degenerate shit I can think of.
One of my own experiences with terribly raised children is when my wife & I went out to dinner at a steak place. The only place for us to sit was a booth in the bar area which is a tight squeeze to get through as it is. As such I asked the server to move my wheelchair out of the way, and she happily did so. We were just finishing our meal and our server screamed, "Get out of that chair right NOW!" Some kids, around 12 I guess, were clamoring over it and arguing over who got the first ride... My custom-made carbon fiber Colours Switchblade wheelchair! I'm very proud of my chair as it's light, effortless to use, and well... It's pretty! If the server going off on them wasn't enough my roar certainly did the trick and the kids scarpered off. My wife said she wasn't sure who was angrier, me or the server. Just really horrible children.
My paternal gran had leg braces after being run over by a drink driver on Christmas Eve one year before I was born. I can honestly say I don’t remember them but I was told by my mum and dad that she had them, kids should be told that there are people who are differently abled and it’s not their business what is wrong or what happened unless the person decides to tell them
Story 4: If I bought a $50 guitar and find out it's worth (crunches numbers on calculator) *60* times what I paid, I'd ask my friend who appraised it to give me a written appraisal, signed and certified, so I could take it to my insurance agent and make sure they insure it very well. Don't just blanket it with renter's insurance or homeowner's insurance. Oh, no. That baby's getting her own insurance. And I'd buy the best parts for her (strings, picks, tuning pegs; other parts that require routine maintenance/replacement) and play her well. The story itself sounds almost like a rock ballad. And yeah, I wouldn't give it back to EM. I'd resell it to her, for maybe $2,000. Show her the appraisal how it's worth $3,000. I'm pretty sure selling a family heirloom like that for practically chump change would be grounds for a divorce.
Yeap, report the trespassing and sit back to enjoy the resisting arresting and assaulting an officer which always follows when a Karen doesn't get their way.
Oh my golly this has got to be the CRAZIEST video yet!! I’m still baffled that the mother thought that she could get the guitar back for free! Not even paying back the money or buying it back for the original price! Thank goodness that she doesn’t know OP or that could probably end in court or something!!
"She gaslit me into giving her a key" You know how parents will take a toy away from a misbehaving kid and put it up on a high shelf? I think we need to do that with the word gaslight until people learn the correct definition.
Story #2 -- I gave my parents a spare key to my apartment because I was a 22-year-old woman living alone in a fair-ish sized city where I had a few work acquaintances and knew none of my neighbors. I agreed that, for emergencies, someone needed to have a key. To their credit, they never snooped. My mother used the key one time, when she and a friend had gotten tied up in Christmas shopping traffic and desperately needed a bathroom. I'm quite sure they never snooped, because I have a reliable visual memory and more than a touch of OCD, so I would have noticed if anything had ever been rummaged through.
Story 2...No, DO NOT, under any circumstances, give your mother your key. But if it's already a done deal, get your locks changed immediately. Your mother is the queen of entitlement and things will only get worse for you. Furthermore, you should get a restraining order and cameras put up in and around your place. I know it will be difficult, and your mom will lay guilt trips galore on you, but stay strong. Your sanity depends on it!
Don't take them seriously and think of them as stories instead of people venting I didn't and I now don't trust majority of people it's not a nice feeling but life sucks
I work retail. I seen this happened. Also once or twice I literally have to stop my mom from making a situation worse as she gets upset over something inconvenient.
Jun Bun A month ago, I was stansing in the checkout line at a grocery store. My medical service dog, an 8 lb. Maltese, was in her purse-like bag, nestled against my side as I leaned on my cart. A woman deliberately rammed her cart into me, causing the hidden dog to cry out in pain. Startled, she APOLOGIZED for hurting the dog, but was happy she'd hit ME.
Oh, sure. I'll give you a key to my place, *when you help pay the bills!* Brat: What the heck happened to your leg?! OP: I was part of man's discovery of Nunya. It didn't go smoothly. Brat: What's Nunya? OP: Nunya Business.
Story 2 - tell mom To go ahead and call the police. Let the police explain the facts. She cannot take away what another person owns, even if she is the mother. Those rights expired on OP's 18th birthday. She may want you to believe that she can destroy your life, but she can't. What you own is yours. Not hers.
Just buy the $50 guitar without any further questions, lol. 🤦🏽♀️😂😂 (A "Karen" situation that could have been entirely avoided. She was not a true Karen for being smug.)
#4 is exactly why I don't pass over garage sales. It's as bad as those gun 'buybacks' where people turn in great-grandpa's antique Winchester for a $25 Applebee's gift card.
Story 1: I did a face palm on that one. Maybe I have a different perspective because I grew up in the days before home video, but I was always taught to go to the bathroom before the movie started. If I had to go during the movie, I'd have to miss whatever happened while I was gone. Story 2: No, you shouldn't give your mother the keys to your apartment. Grown children have rights, and if you don't want to give your parents free access to your home, that's entirely your business. Story 3: If I had messed with a disabled person's medical device, my parents would have given me a temporary disability. I wouldn't have been able to sit down for a while!
Omg. Story 3 is how I feel all the time. I have a limp too, and have had people come up to pray for me (I hate it beyond belief), I've had people ask me what's wrong with me, etc. I'm a cancer survivor with a lot of side effects from the surgeries and treatments and I also have chronic pain, so I have so much sympathy for them. Also, when I was growing up, I've had kids think my wheelchair was a toy and wanted to use it for fun. These things aren't toys, they are necessary for us to live our lives.🤷♀️
Wow! I thought I had gotten a good deal when I bought a 67 Gibson Melody Maker for 200 bucks, but 50 bucks for a 73 gold top Paul is crazy! I need to start going to more garage sales.
Story 2: You have two choices.... 1) Cut her off until she learns better - she needs to learn boundaries Or 2) Give her a key and submit to her control and Judgement, enjoy being single and lonely - since she will scare of EVERYONE!!!!
Second story: OP should make sure to tell building, management, security, and maintenance that your mother is to not have access to your condo or even the building. Leave a set of decoy keys out for your mother to steal when she visits. Third story: "What happened? I asked a total stranger a personal question. Snap, Crunch, and here I am!" Last story: Forcing your way into someone's house in Texas is a good way of becoming a part of a future flower bed.
I’ve heard the guitar story before. I’m just shouting, “stop asking questions! Pay for it and run!”

If I came across even a legitimately broken Les Paul for $50 I'd jump on it and never look back. That or an old Flying V, I'll fix that shit or pay to get it fixed for less than half of what it is worth. Then I'd cherish her until I kick the bucket.
Exactly if the person is selling something that you know it's worth a lot more, it is not your problem. Only time I would say something is if I knew the person was struggling like an elderly person. Only then would I tell them and if they were nice. It they came across as get off my lawn then screw them.
Always clap the 'im your mother' thing back with asking them if everything they own belongs to grandma.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING

My response is that "You didn't give me a choice in the matter so it's null and void."
Though my mother can't pull that. She didn't give birth to me, she adopted me. LOL

This comment is priceless
As an amputee, I answer children's questions your response is not funny, but sarcastic and belittling to the child.

Story 4: I'm willing to bet that the son tried to play the guitar EXACTLY like the Guitar Hero controller, which does absolutely nothing.
Not going to lie, I play guitar and I find the real thing easier to play than guitar hero.
@@FredRated1967 really depends on what you first started out with
I saw the opposite happen: guitarists from a power metal band trying to play their own songs on Guitar Hero, and they couldn't do it. Even on the easiest setting. They even commented "this is a video game, it's nothing like playing a guitar".
@@StormsparkPegasus it’s more about notation. if you can read music, guitar hero comes easier. and on the flip side, playing guitar hero actually helped me learn to read sheet music
@@StormsparkPegasus I heard a story very much like that. There's a song by the group, Dragonforce, called Through the Fire and Flames. You get to play it on expert level, and it's really hard. The guitarist from Dragonforce, who obviously knows full well how to play the song, tried to play it on Guitar Hero and he failed.
As a musician, that Les Paul story is just a dream. My stomach sank when he talked to the Karen, and I was praying OP didn’t tell her the actual value of it
No keys, no address, new phone, no contact. Period. You're an adult, and she does NOT own you.
not necessarily new phone, just change the number. Unless she can track it somehow
I mean you can track the SIM card… but I really doubt the mother has the know how, let alone equipment to do that.
Story 2: Get a lawyer and/or inquire about restraining orders. She's already demonstrated emotional abuse that you can (and should) document.
As far as I'm aware, there's no such psychiatric condition called "entitlement". There is, however, sociopathy. We've really got to stop calling behaviour like this mere entitlement, like it's a mild case of social unawareness. It's not. Totally agree with your strategy. Except OP is stuck in the "playing the poor victim" role, and needs to break that habit too.
@@Kayenne54 I'm pretty sure op doesn't even realize that her mom is being abusive, you can't be stuck in a poor victim mentality if you don't even know your a victim
Story 2: change the locks!
I was thinking that OP was brought up and conditioned to think her mother’s behavior is somewhat normal and they do not have any power against her. OP needs therapy and a restraining order.
Absolutely right.
OP didn't just _buy_ the guitar, OP *_RESCUED_* the guitar.
I was like "get her out of there!"
@@GeekChicPolitiq I was legit telling the screen "DUDE JUST TAKE HER OMG" while he asked questions
I kept saying just go! Stop talking to the EM!
If I was in that situation I would say "he's just pressing buttons and you think that translates to actual talent think again"
And thus she rejoiced with music.
Second story I would give the mother fake keys then have security cameras installed to see what she’ll do.
lol
Or a restraining order...
And if it's a gated community, give them mom's picture and say she's not allowed on the property.
The Mom might be entitled and gaslighting enough that she would get let in.
Good idea
Story 2: Not just no, but he•• NO!!! Do not, under any circumstances, give your mother your key.
With that EM's record of BS, OP needs to get a no harassment or restraining order against her. Notify building management that she is NEVER allowed entry to OP's apartment.
@@lancerevell5979 I agree!
Totally agree. Though I'd probably use a not so polite term.
@@lancerevell5979 Yes. I agree 100%.
Story three.... EM thinks OP is "rude"? That's the pot calling the kettle black. EM is extremely rude. She needs to learn how to parent her demonspawn.
I disagree. In the expression, both the pot and the kettle have been blackened with soot and use. However, in this case, the kettle was clean.
I'd be like "Sure, but you gotta take off your bra and shirt in public, I want to try those on - you know, see how they fit me." It's a MEDICAL device, made for one person - that's basically like trying to ask to try on someone's underware, which that creepy EM would apparently do. Gross.
No, EM's use the word 'rude' as code for not being allowed to do what they or their hellspawn want to do. EM wanted to use OP as free entertainment while she plays on her phone. Learn to parent and not be asses.
No. Do not give your mother keys, and register a restraining order against her
And a legal letter like a preemptive s&d to prevent verbal backlash.
I would also be looking into a CPL. It's mom's choice, jail or a bullet.
First rule of garage sales - when you see a good deal, you just shut your mouth, fork over the money and leave before anyone is the wiser.
Ikr? Even I was getting increasingly annoyed at OP for lingering there for more than 1 sentence. Just ask the price, pay and go incognito
My wife goes to yard sales and doesn't argue price. She pays and leaves. No fuss no muss.
Story 2: HELL to the NO! Document all moments of abuse, get a restraining order, and cut off all contact with her. If she comes knocking with a bang, get the police involved.
It's probably called a bucket here in America because our portions are insane, but goblet sounds fun and classy, so I'll go with that.

The guitar story where the mom thinks her child is a musical prodigy reminds me of my days as a middle school science teacher when parents would explain to me that their child was a scientific genius because they watched the Discovery Channel all the time!
I was shunned by the other kids in Science an Physics classes. My Physics teacher told the class, "If you have any questions about Electricity or Electronics, ask Michael."
I taught myself enough Electronics to test out of a tree year engineering school while in Basic training. I was constantly called names, because I started working in a TV shop at 13.
My brother used to think he knew everything because he watched the Discovery Channel. 😆
The moment the kids became organized and came at OP is the moment to call the authorities. You have no idea how are the assault is going to go. And yes it is assault condoned by the mother, curious kids or not.
What is with these entiled parents that they can tell people with disabilities that they can play with someone else's wheelchairs, fake legs or other stuff. Teach your entiled self and your kids some manners.
Several years ago I had a mobility scooter after having reconstructive foot surgery. While shopping in Walmart with my husband I decided to sit and take a break. My husband was looking at stuff nearby when some guy got my attention to tell me some kid was stealing my scooter. He tried to stop the kid as my husband came over and tried to grab ahold of the scooter. Kid screamed, the mom (Queen Karen) came running accusing us of abusing and stealing from her innocent little angel. We told her it was mine and not a toy but she argued that I’m lying and just don’t want to share my toy (yes she called it that) with him and I’m too old for it. A couple employees from the pharmacy saw it and came to help us. They ended threatening to get security (that store had security due to its location) to have her kicked out. I got it back but not with out being heavily insulted and the kid trying to kick my foot that I literally had surgery on 2 days prior. Karen got even more mad when I told her that I hope her crotch goblin turns out exactly like her. My husband, the helpful stranger and employees got a pretty good chuckle out of what I said,
When I got my first wheelchair people would just grab the handles and start pushing me without asking, even though I protested saying please stop i don't need help, I am waiting for someone. It was insane. The more I protested the more they would say "oh it's ok, I don't mind I am happy to help".
I had to resort to putting KY jelly on my wheelchair handles to make people stop touching them and get them to stop and listen to me. I also have a walking stick to get the attention of people who ignore my protests or completely ignore me and stand in way.
I have no problem with people asking if I need help, I really appreciate it as sometimes I do need help. But people who just take it upon themselves to push me, usually in the wrong direction, without even asking if I needed help or asking permission to touch me now get a poke with my stick.
I’ve been in a wheelchair twice in my life. The first time was when I had an infection in my ankle - I was in it for 6 months and graduated to crutches, then sticks. I was then in one temporarily about 15 years ago when I had severe Cellulitis in both my legs. Each time I was in hospital but even kids of patients would ask if they could have a go in my chair and I told them no. Thankfully they listened when I explained why.
I have moved from sticks back to fixed height crutches again now as my health has deteriorated over the years and you wouldn’t believe how many people think it’s ok to pick up my crutches and ‘have a go’ when I’m sat at a bar or in cafe ! The amount of people who have asked if I can make them shorter for them is unbelievable ! When I tell them I can’t, some have even asked me ‘Why not ?’ Because they are made for MY height ?! I’m 6ft 5ins. and around 300 lbs.
Also, my crutches were specially made for me on the NHS and cost a lot of money and I don’t want them getting damaged because I don’t have any spares
I generally use a walker when I'm out. It's actually really nice - very lightweight, electric blue, and has a small padded seat in the front - convenient when I need to take a quick break. I've lost count of how many kids have run over and plopped down on the seat, even as I'm trying to walk. I get that it's cute, and the seat looks kid-sized (I'm a small person), but it's still a medical device! I'm always nice to them, even when I'm startled or hurting, and explain that this is something I need to use in order to walk. The million questions don't bother me - they're curious, I get it (I'm a Grandma). It's when the parents get involved and start making ridiculous, rude demands that I stop being so friendly. Honestly, I hate having to say no to kids - but no, I won't let them sit on my walker while the moms finish shopping. I'm also not going to let it out of my sight, so "taking it for a spin around the store" is not an option. 🙄
@@tankmeltedargon8831 I am so sorry people treated you like that but I would’ve loved to see the reaction of the person after you put KY jelly on your chair lol.

She tried to force her way into someone’s house….. in Texas, she’s lucky it was Op and not someone with a gun
yeah, because Texas is a Constitutional Carry state and attempting to force your way into a residence could end up with the County Coroner getting called
I don't understand why she wanted to stay in OP's house. Her claim was her house was too crowded with family, not that there was no electricity. OP's house didn't have electricity, so how would an empty house with no electricity be better than a crowded house with electricity when the wind chills were at like 10 below zero F? She claimed OP not letting her use his house that has no electricity mean she and her child would freeze to death, but OP's house didn't have any heat. The woman has no brain.
The story about the person with a disability, I can relate to them very much. A few years ago I was diagnosed with something called FND when I started having daily seizures to multiple daily seizures. My doc did say there are other symptoms I could develop and there’s no cure. About a year ago I started developing these twitches in my hands and feet (specifically my fingers and toes) and now have very noticeable motor and vocal tics. I was devastated to find this out because of all the crap people who have this or Tourette’s are being subjected to. My husband convinced me to go grocery shopping with him and as we were shopping I was noticeably ticking and saw some grown man laughing and filming me. Before I could control it I did start crying a bit (I’m insanely self conscious, especially now). About 5 or 10 min later the same guy who was filming me came up to me with a Walmart employee and another shopper. The other shopper saw what previously happened and grabbed an employee to confront the guy. The guy apologized and deleted the video. Turns out the customer had a really close friend with Tourette’s but sadly took t1heir own life due to bullying. He didn’t like seeing me cry. Before anyone asks about my husband, he was there and grateful for the guy stepping up. He didn’t say anything to the guy coz I asked him not to and he’s so supportive.
Have you tried using food grade diatomaceous earth? Look it up. It may help. It detoxes you. Be sure, if you use it, to also take in a lot of fluids and healthy oils (organic grapeseed, avocado, olive, etc). Stay away from sugar, and junk food. Try to only eat whole foods (plenty of books on Amazon), and maybe some microgreens? Maybe add some spicy foods to your diet, if possible, to help with inflammation. Turmeric with black pepper is also great for inflammation and infection.
@@jenniferkay9789 I appreciate the recommendation but not sure it’ll help much. I have a neurological disorder that affects the electrical output from my brain to my body. It’s essentially misfiring and sending wrong signals. There’s no cure and I’m working with my neurologist and other docs to find ways to work through the symptoms when they flare up.
That really sucks. I have been around mental and physical disabilities all my life and it seems like the acceptance people cry about do not include disabilities.
I have noticed that their entitlement often lies in two camps; either treating others as an inferior that needs to stay away with mochary (as in your story) or distain, or as a person in need of salvation which often time belittles the person's abilities (like talking slow cause one has a limp or is blind) or shows up in possible cures that others might do (in your case, telling your husband he should be more comforting for some odd reason). It sucks.
However, like the customer who knew someone with Tourette's, there is a level of understanding that people can gain through exposure, so it is possible to build a network of friends who help you feel accepted and understood. Keep in there.
I have TBI caused epilepsy and Parkinson's from high school football injuries and car accidents. I
I'm have epilepsy and Parkinson's caused from TBIs that for the last 21 years have made my life hell. My neurologist stopped counting the scars of the concussions on my MRIs at 200. He said that he has never seen that many scars in a person ever. I was a 2 way player in high school football on the offensive and defensive lines. To the point were in games I literally didn't know where I was in the game. But I still kept playing. I literally kept having seizures until about 4 years ago when they think I literally broke the focal points in my brain from all the damage.

@@Maninawig
Which isn't the least bit Spanish, but whatever. It's die from cold exposure or die from respiratory disease.
@@DinnerForkTongue true, it is only that Spain was the only one honest about the plague. However, because USA was trying to put on a brave face during the warring time, there was a huge disconnect at the end of the first wave between medical science and military leaders, where the second would tell their subordinates "don't move people because I said so."
Well, the news did not seem that important to recall I believe it was 5 infected soldiers who were crammed in a crowded train and sent across the country to another crowded camp where the freezing of winter had everyone huddled together around a single fireplace for warmth and survival (seriously, the outer ring died of hypothermia). Well, as we should have remembered for COVID, this only lent to infecting the whole camp, then the soldier's loved ones who demanded to see them WITH THE ARMY NEVER HAVING THE BALLS TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A PANDEMIC LIKE SPAIN, CAUSING THE SECOND AND MORE DEADLY ROUND OF THE FLU!
What spread the flu was a combination of wartime to mix all the countries, and the stupidity of denying it to save face.
Life lesson - DO NOT TOUCH MEDICAL DEVICES.
You're presuming that (entitled) people know what medical devices are...
@@Atlessa they don't. They also don't know that you can legally do a lot of medical care in public, such as giving yourself shots. Yeah, that's a fun one. I had someone tell me I was breaking the law because "It's illegal to inject in public". Yeah, no, it's not. I was also at work, how dumb would you have to be to do illegal drugs at work where there are cameras?
Unless the person specifically asks for or is open to help, had to help up a gentleman who took a misstep trying to get into his car and he was stuck sitting beside it.
And while working I'll always politely ask if any customer needs help with anything if I meet them in the store, especially if they look confused or lost, I'm more than happy to help them find something quickly or get items that are too awkward or high up for them, people always appreciate it so long as you ask first just to be sure, even just asking when they don't need help is appreciated pretty often I find
Still remember one story where a crotch goblin dropped a babies heart monitor while his entitled dad argued with the mom to let his kid play with it because he was bored.
I feel a bit bad, but when my daughter was little, I always taught that if someone had a disability, rather than whisper or point, I would rather her just ask the person about it. I grew up disabled and that was my preference. But if they said, "no thank you" I also taught her to respect that. Mostly because I was trying to teach her that just because a person had a disability didn't mean that it was scary or spooky, that they were people, and were worth getting to know.
I don't mind a child asking about my prosthetic leg if they ask politely.
There is a difference between genuine curiosity and being an ass
Same here, and well said! If a kid comes up and stares, I know what's up and I acknowledge them. I am aware that the child has probably never really encountered anyone with a disability (I'm sure we can throw in many adults into that too), so I will take the time to tell them simple and sweet. And if they are polite, I will thank them for it. To be honest, I've had more issues with those Karen types than I have with children. And yes, I've had people say "Well, that's not your place to have to do that." Maybe...maybe not, but...I've had parents and teachers at my daughters' school thank me for taking the time and that their kids have better interactions with people that have disabilities because of it.

the guitar story: that lady sold a rare guitar that was among literal rock star legends like Elvis Presly and johnny cash and other rock and metal bands of the 1970's! if I was her husband I would really have her pay for a new genuine, authentic guitar of equal or better value
I honestly wouldn't have the conscience to take a guitar like that for the price, even from an entitled Karen. Also, there could be legal implications too since the purchaser obviously knew the (at least approximate) true value of the guitar when he bought it.
thats not even counting qny sentimental value the guitar might have.
OP was a Karen or a Chad themselves. You buy the fucking guitar and leave. What was with the long, self righteous 3rd degree? You see a $50 Les Paul, you buy it and go. 🙄

17:43 The mom probably thought that Guitar Hero was actually a guitar simulator. There were typing games in the 80s and 90s that literally taught you how to type. Like enemies would be approaching you and they had a word stamped on them, and if you type that word the monster is killed. So the more words you can type accurately the longer you can survive in the game, meaning a high score direclty translates to skilled typing. Guitar Hero doesn't use an actual guitar of course, so it's not the same there, but to someone who has never played the game I can understand how they might equate a high Guitar Hero score to an actual ability to play guitar.
I remember PAWS. PAWS was awesome.
I played that game in school.
That fake leg story reminded me of something that happened with my son. My husband was in the military and I often had to bring my son to the military hospital because of a birth injury. He was now about four years old and we were walking down the hospital corridor when a young soldier came around the corner. The man was a bilateral below the knee amputee. He was wearing shorts so his prosthesis legs were fully visible. My son says VERY LOUDLY, "Mom! Look!" The young man looked up and I know I must have had an expression of horror as I waited for my son's next words. "It's a war hero!" The man smiled and I was relieved. I didn't think my son would say anything mean, but who knows what is going to come out of a toddler's mouth.
Second story. Go NO CONTACT with the mother. Get a restraining order.
Mom: I paid a lot of money for these tickets!
Me: So did everyone else in here. And there's a lot more of them.
Story 3: I was half expecting the Karen to follow OP home to keep arguing about the leg
In the second story if I was OP I. Would have said “I don’t give a damn if your my mother I’m allowed to have my own personal space, if you want the keys to MY paid for Condo you can give me the money needed to pay for the next few months since apparently it’s “Yours”. So unless you want to be paying extra money for something you have no authority over for absolutely nothing except for a tiny piece of metal back off and stop asking for a Key!” Thankfully my mother was a very kind loving lady even though her parents were.. not the best. I say was because my mother is sadly no longer with us.
I love the term "popcorn goblet", sounds a lot more fun than the correct word!
Don't you know they made a movie about it? It's called Karen and the Goblet of Popcorn.
Story 2.... HECK NO! Do not give her a key and don't give one to any family member that you think would buckle under her pressure. She may go after them for a copy if she knows you gave them one.
Last Story.... forcing your way into a home... in Texas???? The lady was lucky she didn't get shot!!!!
Story 4: At the point the lady said, "yes, the price is correct", shut the eff up, pay the $50 and effing walk! Asking more questions and hinting the price seems low is a good way to blow a damn good deal! As a guitarist myself, a Gibson Les Paul for $50 is a steal, particularly if it's in decent physical condition. Even if it doesn't work, they are surprisingly easy to work on, you'd likely spend less fixing it than purchasing one at value. It's kinda like finding a 1970 SS Chevelle 454 in a barn for $500.
There's a BIG difference between a video game and a real musical instrument. Does the game controller even have strings? To play a real instrument you first must be willing to put the hours in. So spending 3k on something that's going to get used 30 minutes is dumb. At least the instrument is in the hands of someone who put it to good use.
It has a "lever" that acts kind of like the string, and it's not COMPLETELY unreasonable to go from the game to an actual guitar in much less than 3k hours.
I started out with the same game and ended up buying my first guitar because of it. Learned to play my first simple songs in only one or two days (not saying I didn't make mistake, but it was recognizable) and never stopped practicing ever since.
I still play on that very same guitar almost 15 years later. It's a "no-name" but I still haven't found another one that I like anywhere near as much.
It kinda boggles my mind that the husband obviously knew it was valuable and that wasn't broken and that the son just needed to learn how to use it to make it work, but he hadn't made that clear to either of them until it was gone apparently.
@@Atlessa Mom thinks he's a music prodigy. Son does not want to put the real effort in.
@@annana6098 I think it's more likely that the parents are separated and the guitar was left with the entitled kid and mother. It sounds like the grandfather willed it to the grandson, so the father couldn't do anything about it because he wasn't there.
Story two: HAHA! MOM, DAD! You can't use the 'I birthed you' trick on me! Because you didn't! Jokes on you, I'm adopted!
Second story, by the mothers reasoning, everything she owns must then belong to OP's grandparents, right?
Watch her NOT agree with that.
I really want to see OP call up grandma to tell her about what her daughter was doing. Watch the grandma pull the same nonsense and inevitably watch her be the biggest hypocrite.
Grandma: since I’m your mother, your stuff is mine.
Egg donor: no it’s not!
Grandma; that’s what you told OP. If you don’t like it, DON’T HARASS OP for it! Now shut the fuck up or I WILL disown you and cut you from the will! Idiot!
I play guitar. That Gibson Les Paul story was incredible and I figured she would be looking for him after the fact but not even a court of law would reverse the sale. Personally, I prefer the B.C. Rich models. 80's guitars at their greatest! because I'mma metal head.
🤘
That lady with the leg disability should have said “I’d like to look through you bag and credit cards and then let me see her underwear… what, is that too private? SO IS MY LEG!”
on the mom demanding the keys to the daughter's condo, tell her, Ok...your condo, you make the bank payments and pay the utilities. The condo is $1500 per month paid to National Bank. Utilities are $550, paid to the electric and sewer/hydro.
I think that guitar story had a very happy ending, not just for OP, but for the guitar as well. Instead of going to someone who doesn't even know much about guitars and his experience of playing guitar comes solely from guitar hero, where that guitar would not have been appreciated properly it "found a home" with someone who knows about guitars and was able to properly appreciate and care for the guitar.
I had my own share of small encounters with entitled people this weekend. First was some douche constantly revving his engine through a parking garage, because apparently nobody was going fast enough for him. Later, once we finally got to the movie we were going to see, a bunch of kids started talking the second the movie actually started. After telling them to be quiet, one of the girls just laughed and said "I don't want to". And, of course, once the movie was over, they could be bothered to take any of their trash to the trash can they had to walk passed to leave.
Urgh I've had that exact same experience in a movie theatre and they even went as far as to put their feet up on the back of our seats. Fucking cretins
Second story: change the locks, tell your mom you sold the place and moved in with a friend. Get a P.O. Box and give her that as an address because you don't take mail at your residence.
Story 2: HELL TO THE NAW! Do NOT give her any keys to any apartment. Cut off all contact with her.
Story 2: reminds me of another entitled mother who stole her daughter's car because the daughter won't do any chores crazy mother told her to do. Daughter lives on her own place and bought her own car and is 22 yrs old. Crazy mom stole the car because she says she owns it by law.....
Yeah and she told the judge, that what she told same thing to police that it's the law that what her daughter owns it's her and then later she told it to judge and judge quickly silenced her :) But for another years, she was saying to all the family that judge didn't knew the law and she is right :)
Oh, yeah, I love that story. That aunt is insane and so very much a "I'm the master and ruler of everything my daughter owns and should do" kind of person. She's dead now, I feel bad for satan because even hell must seem like hell to him after she arrived there.
Not gonna lie. Bug Bertha would've met with a "King Leonidas Welcome".
THIS!!! IS!!! SPARTA!!!!!
The referring to things as "she" is just what you do with things you're passionate about. I fucking love the line "her soul was singing the joys of freedom" its actually the most beautiful thing ever. I say stuff like that about golf clubs and rollercoasters
One day, while playing a board game, my daughter was giving my wife crap about a move she made, and my wife said how dare you say I cheated, I bore you. My son who was also playing said without missing a beat, "every day mom, every day" LOL
Last story:
Karen: "I'm not leaving"
Me: Smith & Wesson say otherwise
Very possible in TX when it comes to home invasions.
Also I’m surprised Bertha didn’t try breaking in while the OP was gone.
No kidding, did that woman forget what state she was in, was she trying to get herself killed, or was she really that stupid?
Texas is the LAST fucking first world place I'd ever want to try that in
@@Icalasari
You know, I'm surprised Texas isn't a breeding ground for ninja burglars, purely because of natural selection.
Like seriously?! It is TEXAS! We tend to shoot first, ask questions later. 🤣🤣🤣
I prefer having Mossberg back me up in cases like that. Something about seeing that dime-sized bore inspires a previously-missing politeness and civility.
Story 2: The answer is *Oh H E doublehockeysticks no!* I think this is grounds for a restraining order.
when karen said "he's just a kid, you got to be nice" He should have said that he will be nice once she was
That last story took place in Texas! We have guns and the castle doctrine here. Jeez lady, she’s lucky she only got a door closed on her foot!!!!
Just when you think you've seen all sorts of entitlement in the world and another just comes along and proves you wrong.
Story 2:
No. Give her NOT the actual key.
At max a decoy key so she thinks she has what she "asked" for.
If she by some miracle gains access to the condo without being invited call the cops. I'm relatively certain mom will escalate it herself as Karens tend to do.
Regardless of that set boundaries and enforce them. Give her an ultimatum that she shall apologize and stop talking about the condo and referring to your property as her property. If she can't or won't go NC. Mention that consequence when you give said ultimatum.
Family or not that is NOT acceptable behavior and she should be subject of an extended wellness check herself as that level of entitlement borders mental illness.
Story 2- "I'M YOUR MOTHER/FATHER!!" "WE'RE FAMILY!" "I RAISED YOU SO YOU OWE ME!" Okay, I may sound harsh but I don't fricking believe in any of those bs anymore. I honestly think that it doesn't exist anymore. NO ONE, family, friends, or neither, ever demand for anything they want without any respect to anyone at all. To earn your friends or family's trust, people need to fricking respect and treat each other properly at all cost. NO BUTS OR WHAT IFS.
Story 3- This is why I can't be near any kids at all. Now mind you, I want to be a mom in the future, but right now, I can't deal with kids who don't behave. Knowing that parents allowing their kids to misbehave and treat others badly is what got me pissed off. Parents who allow such things like that need to improve their parenting or just don't have kids at all.
If you find a Les Paul at a garage sale for $50 and assuming it isn't a Chibson (Chinese counterfeit Gibson and hell, it still may be worth it), and as long as it isn't irreparably physically damaged, you pay for it before anyone else notices or has time to change their mind. RUN.
2nd story: First: warn your mother that if she continues doing these "stunts" you will go FULL NO CONTACT with her!
Secondly,: let whoever manages the Condos know that you have given out spare keys to those who are welcomed to enter, and to NOT give anyone else a key or access without calling you first and getting your permission to enter. No mater how many times they call, unless you answer and say: "Yes", that they shouldn't let anyone in!!! (They should already know to do this, but I can see your mother trying to get them to give her a set of keys saying that she lost hers and that she has your permission to get a new set....)
Thirdly: do document all the Bull Scat that she has done in the past, and if need be DO Go Full No Contact, including a Restraining Order which will be much easier to get if you have documented (and/or recorded) her threats of kicking you out of your own place and other such ABUSE! Yes Abuse!!!
2nd Story: My mother finally told me there isn’t enough money in the world to pay her back for all I owe her. Apparently this is my debt due from being born of her. This came up because she owes me in the low 6-figures in U.S. Dollars… That was finally how she let me know she was never going to pay back her debt… This was a real loan, not the numerous gifts I’d given her over the years… Sigh…
At that point, you just need to bite the bullet and sue her for what she owes you + legal fees. Especially if you have documentation saying it was a lone. And if you don't have documentation saying it was a lone... what the heck are you doing? Always document.
My favourite thing to do with entitled parents with small kids, is stare into the parents eyes and ask,
"Hey kids, wanna learn some new suuuuuuuper bad swear words? cause your about to if your mommy/daddy doesn't shut up".
Usually they don't shut up and I get the start throwing out the nastiest most degenerate shit I can think of.
Thar guitar would have been paid for, and I would have left. This guy is just asking for trouble!🙄
Love how OP blew up at Karen in story 3, kids on a leash sounds like a novel idea.
One of my own experiences with terribly raised children is when my wife & I went out to dinner at a steak place. The only place for us to sit was a booth in the bar area which is a tight squeeze to get through as it is. As such I asked the server to move my wheelchair out of the way, and she happily did so. We were just finishing our meal and our server screamed, "Get out of that chair right NOW!" Some kids, around 12 I guess, were clamoring over it and arguing over who got the first ride... My custom-made carbon fiber Colours Switchblade wheelchair! I'm very proud of my chair as it's light, effortless to use, and well... It's pretty! If the server going off on them wasn't enough my roar certainly did the trick and the kids scarpered off. My wife said she wasn't sure who was angrier, me or the server. Just really horrible children.
My paternal gran had leg braces after being run over by a drink driver on Christmas Eve one year before I was born. I can honestly say I don’t remember them but I was told by my mum and dad that she had them, kids should be told that there are people who are differently abled and it’s not their business what is wrong or what happened unless the person decides to tell them
Story 4: If I bought a $50 guitar and find out it's worth (crunches numbers on calculator) *60* times what I paid, I'd ask my friend who appraised it to give me a written appraisal, signed and certified, so I could take it to my insurance agent and make sure they insure it very well. Don't just blanket it with renter's insurance or homeowner's insurance. Oh, no. That baby's getting her own insurance. And I'd buy the best parts for her (strings, picks, tuning pegs; other parts that require routine maintenance/replacement) and play her well. The story itself sounds almost like a rock ballad. And yeah, I wouldn't give it back to EM. I'd resell it to her, for maybe $2,000. Show her the appraisal how it's worth $3,000. I'm pretty sure selling a family heirloom like that for practically chump change would be grounds for a divorce.
Yep yep. Soon as she sold it without his knowledge. She clearly knew it belonged to her husband's dad. Divorce would come swift.
I'm glad OP didn't give the guitar a test run, thus proving the value by playing it beautifully and perfectly.
"Popcorn goblet." Literally the best two words stuck together ever. Right next to "peanut butter chocolate" and "video game." And "bush shenanigans."
Well... Their "priceless family heirloom" is already OP's PRICLESS HEIRLOOM
"I'm not leaving" Oh so it's a home invasion then. Okay Karen, you chose what's about to happen to you.
Yeap, report the trespassing and sit back to enjoy the resisting arresting and assaulting an officer which always follows when a Karen doesn't get their way.
Oh my golly this has got to be the CRAZIEST video yet!! I’m still baffled that the mother thought that she could get the guitar back for free! Not even paying back the money or buying it back for the original price! Thank goodness that she doesn’t know OP or that could probably end in court or something!!
4th Story: Well, they do say that one man's trash is another man's treasure.😂 And OP certainly struck gold once he got that guitar.
"She gaslit me into giving her a key" You know how parents will take a toy away from a misbehaving kid and put it up on a high shelf? I think we need to do that with the word gaslight until people learn the correct definition.
I just wish people would use the word "deceived" even in contexts where "gaslit" would have been accurate, since the term itself is silly to me.
I saw the picture of popcorn in the goblets and for a moment I was wondering what kind of movie theatre serves popcorn like that? 😆
15:17 Bit concerned that OP was trying to ADD zeroes to the price of that guitar.
OMG, OP, shut up and give her the $50 for the guitar and run to your car before someone realizes what you got away with!
Perfect thing to listen to as I'm making grilled cheese for my family and I. These stories are always awesome!
Popcorn goblet sounds better than 'bucket'
We call it a tub. It's a regional thing.
@@lancerevell5979 midwestern? I've heard that
Story 4: Why would you even ask questions, I'd just pay and run 😂
I can't believe Big Bertha fell for that obvious ruse.
It's crazy how a legendary vintage guitar's real price is about similar as a production line graphics card in 2021
DarkFluff: •Omni man meme with dark fluff• “THINK KAREN THINK!”
Karen:•Intense derp face of entitled imbecile•
If she could think, she wouldn't be a Karen.
@@michaelterrell Exactly
Story #2 -- I gave my parents a spare key to my apartment because I was a 22-year-old woman living alone in a fair-ish sized city where I had a few work acquaintances and knew none of my neighbors. I agreed that, for emergencies, someone needed to have a key. To their credit, they never snooped. My mother used the key one time, when she and a friend had gotten tied up in Christmas shopping traffic and desperately needed a bathroom. I'm quite sure they never snooped, because I have a reliable visual memory and more than a touch of OCD, so I would have noticed if anything had ever been rummaged through.
Story 2...No, DO NOT, under any circumstances, give your mother your key. But if it's already a done deal, get your locks changed immediately. Your mother is the queen of entitlement and things will only get worse for you. Furthermore, you should get a restraining order and cameras put up in and around your place. I know it will be difficult, and your mom will lay guilt trips galore on you, but stay strong. Your sanity depends on it!
I do love listening to these stories to relax after a busy day :D
It's getting to the point where these stories seem made up and I want to believe it's made up for the sake of my sanity with humanity.
Don't take them seriously and think of them as stories instead of people venting
I didn't and I now don't trust majority of people it's not a nice feeling but life sucks
I work retail. I seen this happened. Also once or twice I literally have to stop my mom from making a situation worse as she gets upset over something inconvenient.
Jun Bun A month ago, I was stansing in the checkout line at a grocery store. My medical service dog, an 8 lb. Maltese, was in her purse-like bag, nestled against my side as I leaned on my cart.
A woman deliberately rammed her cart into me, causing the hidden dog to cry out in pain. Startled, she APOLOGIZED for hurting the dog, but was happy she'd hit ME.
Yup
They are probably made up, and heavily distorted. But similar, and way more evil, things happen all the time.
Oh, sure. I'll give you a key to my place, *when you help pay the bills!*
Brat: What the heck happened to your leg?!
OP: I was part of man's discovery of Nunya. It didn't go smoothly.
Brat: What's Nunya?
OP: Nunya Business.
Story 2 - tell mom To go ahead and call the police. Let the police explain the facts.
She cannot take away what another person owns, even if she is the mother. Those rights expired on OP's 18th birthday. She may want you to believe that she can destroy your life, but she can't. What you own is yours. Not hers.
Great stories, love listening to them. Always worth listening to^^
Just buy the $50 guitar without any further questions, lol. 🤦🏽♀️😂😂 (A "Karen" situation that could have been entirely avoided. She was not a true Karen for being smug.)
That guitar is definitely becoming a family heirloom
#4 is exactly why I don't pass over garage sales. It's as bad as those gun 'buybacks' where people turn in great-grandpa's antique Winchester for a $25 Applebee's gift card.
I'm rudely going to tell you your rude. Sure, that makes sense.
Hello Fluff! Love your videos! ❤️
Story 1: I did a face palm on that one. Maybe I have a different perspective because I grew up in the days before home video, but I was always taught to go to the bathroom before the movie started. If I had to go during the movie, I'd have to miss whatever happened while I was gone.
Story 2: No, you shouldn't give your mother the keys to your apartment. Grown children have rights, and if you don't want to give your parents free access to your home, that's entirely your business.
Story 3: If I had messed with a disabled person's medical device, my parents would have given me a temporary disability. I wouldn't have been able to sit down for a while!
Omg. Story 3 is how I feel all the time. I have a limp too, and have had people come up to pray for me (I hate it beyond belief), I've had people ask me what's wrong with me, etc. I'm a cancer survivor with a lot of side effects from the surgeries and treatments and I also have chronic pain, so I have so much sympathy for them. Also, when I was growing up, I've had kids think my wheelchair was a toy and wanted to use it for fun. These things aren't toys, they are necessary for us to live our lives.🤷♀️
Wow! I thought I had gotten a good deal when I bought a 67 Gibson Melody Maker for 200 bucks, but 50 bucks for a 73 gold top Paul is crazy! I need to start going to more garage sales.
Story 4: Thank you for liberating that marvelous instrument from those philistines.
Story 2: You have two choices....
1) Cut her off until she learns better - she needs to learn boundaries
Or
2) Give her a key and submit to her control and Judgement, enjoy being single and lonely - since she will scare of EVERYONE!!!!
Second story: OP should make sure to tell building, management, security, and maintenance that your mother is to not have access to your condo or even the building. Leave a set of decoy keys out for your mother to steal when she visits.
Third story: "What happened? I asked a total stranger a personal question. Snap, Crunch, and here I am!"
Last story: Forcing your way into someone's house in Texas is a good way of becoming a part of a future flower bed.
