At the 35 minute mark, the story about the girl with the “transforming” experience… that’s Petunia Dursley… Harry Potter’s Aunt… aunt and sister were close, lily and petunia, drifted apart, lily discovered her magic abilities that petunia didn’t have, friend from school that influenced, Severus snape who was lilys best friend, different clothes were witch robes, experimenting were classes, marrying school friend, James Potter, kids around the same time were Dudley and Harry, the lifestyle that was glossed over was the wizarding world, the car crash lie was what they told Harry and they freaked out anytime magic was even mentioned. It’s a pretty good synopsis of the situation while still being a troll post. Fantastically done. Almost missed it.
Lol. When I told my dad I plan on dying my hair green. He gave me a funny look and asked me why I would choose green over a natural colour. I told him it was because I already HAD a natural colour
Whenever someone was making a pitch to sell my dad something, he ended the conversation as soon as religion was thrown in as a great “and this is why you know you will never be cheated” sales point. More times than not, the religion line meant you were about to be scammed.
13:59 at some school, teachers wear a microphone that transmits their voice to a speaker in the classroom. It works great for students with hearing impairments or ADHD. My mother taught at a school where one of the teachers forgot to take the microphone off for specials. These were radio transmitters, and could pass through walls. Everyone in the classroom heard that teacher flush the toilet.
As for the adults in our childhood enjoying...recreational goodies, I have a cool story. I didn't actually start smoking green until I was in my early 20s. I'd taken DARE very seriously as a kid and "didn't know any adults who did drugs" until after I was convinced by some very level headed peer pressure. After I realized how calm and relaxed I was, once I was done coughing my lungs out, I didn't really keep it a secret. My stepdad found the whole thing hilarious, since he was on the receiving end of a few lectures from my mom about "I don't care that you smoke pot, but can you just not do it on the day they come back from DARE, please?" It took way too long for me to realize it wasn't just cigarette smoke I always smelled from my stepdad's room. Then my mom talked about the time she got a really shitty joint from the next door neighbor we had WHEN I WAS IN FIRST GRADE!! and the stories just opened up from there. I'd been surrounded by potheads when I was growing up, they were just really good about not being obvious about it and I was oblivious to it. Stepdad left me his Volcano Vaporizer after he passed because he found it hilarious that I eventually had something in common with him, and it's in my linen closet even now. With the legalization of marijuana on the state level, I think he'd be tickled pink, purple and blue at the available selections these days and loves the fact that my mom and I sometimes split a bag of edibles and reminisce. He definitely did more than just pot, unfortunately that lead to him no longer being with us, but I never went further than that and he wouldn't have approved if I did. I'm just glad that I eventually found something to bond with him over and I'm never getting rid of the volcano.
What's insane to think about it MaryJ has been looked down upon forever, but getting drunk on Friday night then going home and beating your wife is acceptable 😂
for story seven I remember something from school: Our uniform used to be gray pants for boys, and skirts for women. during winter women started to wear tights becuase of the cold, but the daughter of someone who became our pincipal one year said in an assembly that the tights looked ugly under the skirts, and since they weren't specified as a part of the school uniform, she was banning them. All the girls as a kind of protest, asked the male students for a pair of their pants to wear to school instead. they weren't very warm honestly but they were at least better than the skirt. I even gave a pair of mine to my sister. The ban never got lifted but because not even the teachers supported it, nobody actually enforced it apart from like the first week. I think that principal still works at that school but kinda like a secretary, and the old principal got put back in place instead the next year,
I’m gonna listen to this video while drawing :> Edit: 57:57 made me laugh. Edit 3: I finished the drawing. It took me 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 12 seconds. Yes I timed it. Now I’m gonna get the speedpaint and send both the drawing and speedpaint to myself. Thanks for a video to listen to while I draw!
That’s exactly what I’m doing right now! My best friends mom commissioned a drawing of her and her family and it’s definitely helping me to not throw the damn thing across the room. Hoping it goes well
I was about to comment that lol but first wanted to see if someone else got it I’m playing hogwarts mystery as I listen i was sad that he didn’t say anything
WHAT YOUR STORY IS THE SAME AS MY MOMS STORY OMG- So, when my mom was in high school, they allowed smoking. But to do it you had to be outside, during lunch period. Now, all of her friends smoked, and she wanted to hang out with them. So she did the only thing she could think of: begin smoking as well. She has since quit smoking though
38:02 a very similar thing happened with my grandfather. Also with hockey, he was the captain of an ivy league team and then after graduating received a letter for the NHL draft, but his parents hid it because they didn’t think it was a “real job”.
My good friend is serving a sentence. He was always the follow-the-rules guy and I'm the anarchist so he's had a sharp learning curve. The prison is a rigid hierarchy and, of course, the lower levels abuse this by claiming that the rules say whatever they want it to say. By law, a copy of the rules (all 185 of them) have to be available in the library and on each wing which they are - in a locked cabinet and a locked desk respectively. I sent him his own copy and suddenly he's getting a lot less hassle.
On story 2 (30:12) my case was the complete opposite! Every doctor when I was younger denied my autism except my mother. She had taken care of children for many years and it wasn’t just babies, there were teenagers and young adults too. My mother was always up front about any questions I had about my autism, so much so that I was proud of it! (Which I still am) everywhere I went with mother I’d tell random people “Hi I’m me and I have autism! Wanna be friends?!” With the most goofiest smile. I mean I DID make a lot of adults giggle and talk to me but GEEZ that was that kinda embarrassing now when I think back on it. (I’m High functioning autistic if anyone wanted to know)
Same for my son. In the UK, my son was seen on the NHS and went to the CDC (child development center). They wouldn't give a diagnosis as they 'didn't want to label him'. We had to pay privately to get a diagnosis, not pushing, but so that we could actually help our son. He is mid-range autistic and will probably never hold down a job outside the home. He was terrified at school, every, single, day. Until we took him out and homeschooling him. It was 6 months before I could even put a book in front of him because the teachers just nagged him and bullied him to read. When we had him tested, they found that he is profoundly dyslexic. It took me another five years to teach him to literally read, but not remember what he has read. The teachers, even though there was a special needs teacher, never bothered testing him, just bullied him.
I always tell the story of my coworker. She is on the older side so i dont blame her for her misconceptions. My daughter has autism but i dont tell people that. I accidentally let it slip to my coworker and her first response is "what is she good at?". Like autism is video game perk with some upside and a downside. I told this story to one of my professors at the time and his reaction was "but she isnt just that, she has hopes and dreams. She loves thing and hates things. She isnt just some label". He was my favorite teacher because of the way he was. It is hard to describe him without using terms that in text would seem creepy. He was a humanitarian clown if that helps.
the clean air break is great - my mom worked at a dr office when i was a kid and about half the staff there were smokers. the smokers were taking 7+ 15 minute breaks constantly every day forcing my mom and the others to pick up their slack. to give them a taste of their own medicine my mom and a few others bought a bunch of candy cigarettes that even included the ability to blow powdered sugar out of the paper wrapper like smoke. they then proceeded to take constant "smoke" breaks all day for a few days. after that the smokers were way better about how they behaved. my sisters and i also got to enjoy the leftover candy.
The cystic fibrosis story😢 terrible. My brother in laws aunt lost 3 of 4 children to it long ago. The good news is the surviving child is no almost 50 with the help of a lung part transplant from my brother in law. With the advancements being made that momma may indeed see her son live a decently long life or even better by the time he's grown, and he may have babies
"Anything the administration deems disruptive" Having staff make up rules and randomly harass students with them is... disruptive. Why don't teachers _get that_ ! In my entire school career neither mine nor anyone else's clothes have ever interfered with my ability to learn. When class is stopped because a teacher would rather yell about hoodies than teach the friggin class, that really interfered with my learning.
I wasn't totally sold on my sister's husband. I met them shortly after they got engaged and took them out for lunch. I went through the usual questions. Do you make each other happy, do your career goals align, are you on the same page when it comes to kids, what's the plan for your future as a team, do you understand that if you hurt her I will cut your body into pieces and mail them to your parents one chunk at a time, etc. At one point my sister went back to her car and we were chatting just the two of us. I asked him what drew him to my sister in the first place. His answer was so sweet it gave me a cavity. "The first time I saw that girl, I knew I'd follow her anywhere." Approval gained. They've been married for a couple years now and haven't had to prep a bone saw and postage.
I think what won my now mother in law over was my absolute dedication to their family. Mine is extremely small, having a whole 4 members in the states, and that does include me. But since we got together, I’ve tried my absolute best to always be helpful in any situation that her family comes across (general household help, moving, yard work, you name it). I’ve gone from original threats of jail time (I was 19 when we got together, my wife was 17) to being a valued member of the family who is regularly asked to house sit regularly while having a mini fridge stocked with my favorite beer always on hand. I love my family!
At the fast food place I work at, we HAVE to have press-to-talk headsets for the drive-thru because people kept getting in trouble because of unmuted mics. We'd forget the customers could hear us talking to each other about how stupid they were and how loud their car was.
The curse of drive-thru headsets. A co-worker accidentally said "Will someone shut that kid up" over a live headset. He later became a manager. It's only happened twice in 7 years but sometimes the customer says something crazy after their order, not realizing we can hear them. I will always remember the guy telling someone over the phone where the cocaine is. He had to repeat his instructions a few times because the other guy was an idiot.
I've been in the work force for 11 years now, and these stories are so cathartic! Knowing that there are others that use work rules in their favor, just to stick it to the man, makes me feel less alone.
Had a shipment of large, heavy items to send to a prison. I knew that shipments via FedEx (about $200 to ship the product in the smallest boxes possible, but a large number of them) would be damaged or lost, so I was going to ship it by freight. One pallet, heavy, about $400 to ship because it's going to a prison. The boss told me to FedEx it anyway, so I did. We lost about ¾ of the shipment and with costs for shipping twice, eating the cost of lost product, and replenishment of our stock, it cost us well over $1000. The very definition of jumping over dollars to save dimes.
Definitely agree about being careful around microphones, I work with a PA system and the first thing the trainer told me was to not say anything around the microphone that you don’t want everyone to hear
I used to work on staff for a sightseeing tour, where we would send out boats of people and tourists (who are technically people, but less self awareness), and it was my job managing the dock, and guiding the traffic in the area to make sure people got on and off the boats. Sometimes there would be people in wheelchairs would would need my assistance in getting them across the ramps safely. The pay was okay, but I got zero respect from my superiors. I was given the legitimately worst task of the staff, and here is why: if customers complained that they didn't get a good view, they tell me that they want to get a refund or see my manager, assuming that I conned them. My job wasn't selling real estate, expensive homes and cottages with a pristine view over the lake.. I was merely tasked with making sure tourists weren't loitering on my dock. The other problem of the job was was the illicit handling of my position. Now where I live, there's a labor law, and this law inquires that workers must be legally offered every 3 work hours a 15-20 minute break. This can include lunch breaks, but wait for it.. I was given NONE of those. Not during summer shifts, nor opening or closing season. I did ask around about this with my employer, and he said stoically, "What are you talking about (PsyCake)? You get a 15 minute break every time a ship leaves the dock." Largely untrue. And he said this as if I wasn't doing my job.. I was at the company for at least a year. I basically had to go through the play-by-play of how the dock is ACTUALLY managed. Boat A gets filled with people. Boat B shows up to be filled with people. Boat B is filled with people. Boat B leaves dock, as Boat A comes in to unload people. The process for unloading and reloading a boat? Takes about 15 minutes. I was not allowed to sit during the process or eat. So my employer basically looked at me as if I had two heads, and eventually had HIS boss come down (I will call him Nepo-Manbaby, as his brother owned the company). Nepo-Manbaby sidles up to me one day and comments, "So I heard, (PsyCake), that you filed a complaint.." Blah, blah, blah.. He went on to try repeating my employer's words, but I once again mentioned the labor law: every three hours, workers who are designated to manual labor are supposed to be offered a break; I even mentioned its reference in the employee handbook, as this was provided for every other position (even the people who manned the traffic gates so the herds of tourists wouldn't wander off the reservation like cattle were given them), and specifically stated that I was not getting the same treatment, implying that they were breaking a regional law. ..They complied with my request. Since then, the company was bought out by another owner, they went ahead with some rebranding, and now THAT company is going out of business, or so I hear. Seems petty, but I love that for them.
“…brought forth an army of the undead to trample the city!” Kinda ironic that you’ve got Left For Dead 2 is playing in the background when you said that! 🤣
i see bundle of these are about hair lol. i’ve always been sensitive about my hair bc i like it long, and my family (on both sides) doesn’t go bald. all four grandparents have/had full heads of hair into their late 60s-70s. my grampa (maternal) still has a full head of solid black hair. my grampa (paternal) had white hair since my dad was a kid, and my dad has grey hair already, and has since he was 20. i waited my whole life to see which one i would be and once i turned 17 i immediately regretted looking forward to it. now at the age of 23 (24 in a couple weeks) i can only think about different colors i want to dye my white streaks. so far i’ve got pink, baby blue, and purple on the list
I have a school hair story I dyed my hair neon colours a few times during school, neon orange and fuscia pink to be exact, and a few times teachers tried to convince me to redye it to a natural colour (my hair is greish brown btw) which didn't work (my mum dyed my hair fyi, so she was on board of me keeping it), and once the principle asked me "what kinda example do you think you're giving to younger kids?" I thought I was giving a perfectly fine example, as I wasn't rambunctious or really acted out ever, just had bright hair. Some time later I noticed some of the younger students also having dyed hair. Idk if that was my influence or a coincidence (probably the latter), but I count that as a win for me.
20:03 in their defense, I crushed a cantaloupe with a giant wooden hammer on stage at school, and started two water balloon fight, book burning doesn’t feel too far off.
My oldest daughter Danielle's fiancé Austin won me over by saying he loved her independence and strong will. That she wasn't just a pretty face but had a beautiful soul and heart of gold. He loved her loyalty to me and especially her loyalty to her baby sister. He loved the fact that she stood up for people, that she was so supportive of people especially strangers. He said it shocked him to know that the girl was totally different the what people had said about her. I replied with, she puts up a wall of being tough, that she isn't sensitive and most people see her as a bitch or a CU Next Tuesday. But my girl is a sweetheart, that she loves all creatures even snails and slugs. Hates to kill a bug or a spider. If she can trap them humanity she will. But cries if she has to kill them all but ants, she can't stand ants. I actually think he won my heart the minute we met when they walked in the door and he hugged me and called me mom. She was 15 and he was 17. They have been together ever since and got engaged in 2021, last year they bought a house.
I just remembered for the 1st Story, a Cartoon Network show that depicts the notion for the "Tuck In Your Shirt!!" quote. Ms. Simeon from "The Amazing World of Gumball", happiness being so infectious, that it becomes an outbreak of Colossal Proportion.
Not a principal but the football announcer. Before him and the marching band’s announcer he didn’t turn off the mic and we heard him say. “I hate these damn nerds.” Our band director was pissed!! Lol
32:09 this story kind of reminded me of something. So I haven’t had the best beginning of my life but my siblings had it worse. Several years ago my mother got divorced from a man. I was never really told why. I quickly found out a while afterwords that man had abused and raped my older sister (abused the rest of my siblings but only raped the older one) my mother never told me but I heard her several times talking about it to my sister. I didn’t know how to react I suppose I felt guilty. Guilty for loving that man. That’s besides the point though, only until a few years later were we told despite me being the youngest my other older sister never even knew. My mom never did tell me how my aunt died. I found out by myself she had overdosed and had passed away. She still hasn’t really told us. My middle sister had brought a book home about a kid that overdosed and my father (not biological) had brought up the fact we know someone who passed from that. My middle sister who is kind of slow and doesn’t catch on that quick didn’t understand. I went “our aunt.” And my dad went “I didn’t know if y’all knew why she passed away.” I answered “I do. Mum never told us but the signs are obvious.” I know my mom has gone through things and that we were children but I would’ve been nice to tell us.
The one who got a free ride to college to play hockey. In high-school the principle took my free ride to MIT and gave it to the valedictorian which was also mine. This was cause she didnt like me. It also gave a grant to my high-school cause of the combination of classes i took that they dont teach anymore. She manage to do it by saying there was a messup on the paperwork. Course because the studant who all she had was her looks going for her flunked out within a few months. But during thoes few months the principle found me and threated ether get her up to snuff or she would make me pay. I didnt help and the school literly went broke since MIT sued them for misappropriation of funds. MIT got there money back and priciple thrown under a freight train since she could tell the truth that she burned my scholarship and get fired or say nothing get fired and see jail time.they offered me my spot but declince from the bad tast in my mouth
these compilation videos are great, but you need to name them something that mentions it's not just one topic, and it's a compilation. Keep up the good work.
19:47 True or not, this story has "Up the Wolves" vibes and would make for good literary content. Also highly recommend the band "The Mountain Goats" if you're into folk rock.
Also for future reference, children can remember bad things happening to them, even bef9re they had the capability of forming repayable memories. Even when in the womb, children have been known to be affected by verbal/psychological domestic violence against their mother
More of a funny short story about my schools food. Our food was horrible bc we had a rule about not having anything unhealthy so they took even salt and pepper out of our school everything was bland flavorless or just downright gross a kid that sat with us at lunch thats been to jail before even said that the jail food was better than the schools food lmao so one day a kid started selling food to kids in the morning before the day started it was quite funny to me bc you can easily make your own food at home and bring it in but I guess ppl rather buy his food I guess it was good bc I never bought it myself
1 day back in 4th or 5th grade , A kids dad Came in to visit him and had lunch with him. In the middle of lunch Dad got bored Started a food fight And none of the teachers believed That it had been started by an adult. Every kid in the cafeteria Got detention
My youngest daughter Caitie, well her guy Nick won my heart when they were 4yrs old, his dad worked with my FIL. At company picnics my girls would go with my in laws and my mother in law would snap pics. She said Nick was so sweet and would be perfect for Caitie because they were both so quiet and shy. Sad to say my MIL never got to see them together but I think she had a hand in making it happen. My MIL died the day after they finished 10th grade. They started dating when they were 20 they are 24. Their birthdays are both in October he is 15 days older. Danielle and Austin who I mentioned in another comment are 27 and 30. Austin always said that he more likely then not would have been a friend to my oldest child Ryan if we hadn't lost him as a tiny baby. Ryan would have been weeks younger then Austin
fun fact about Christian schools they all are actually catholic schools and thus focus more on money and appearances then teaching things closer to the actual religion. thus, you be correct about these schools and their bias. but also, as a Christian thank you for also adding a message that we all are not like most fake Christians so thank you dude also awesome job with narration and commentary.
Dear Mr. Mainly Fact, Might I suggest dyeing that beautiful ‘stache of yours if you miss changing your hair? Might look funny but it’s fun and you… if you want to do it that is.
I don’t get why people knowing how Disney is. Applies to Disney which is known for their unification of the way people look. Then get upset that people want them to look uniformed. It’s almost like what’s wrong with them?
For working with smokers I was the only one that didn’t smoke but I wanted to be included So I brought one of those sparklers for my coworkers to light
I'm in my last year and we aren't allowed to have our phones out at all, even if school has ended and we take it out on the premises it can be taken until tomorrow You can only wear the school jackets but they are 35 euros and literally do nothing heat or water protection
Cystic fibrosis does shorten your life, but people can live with it into their 50s now. So it's not like the kid is going to die soon or anything, at least.
At the 35 minute mark, the story about the girl with the “transforming” experience… that’s Petunia Dursley… Harry Potter’s Aunt… aunt and sister were close, lily and petunia, drifted apart, lily discovered her magic abilities that petunia didn’t have, friend from school that influenced, Severus snape who was lilys best friend, different clothes were witch robes, experimenting were classes, marrying school friend, James Potter, kids around the same time were Dudley and Harry, the lifestyle that was glossed over was the wizarding world, the car crash lie was what they told Harry and they freaked out anytime magic was even mentioned.

If somebody says, "And I'm a [insert religion here, always "Christian" in this area]," run. Run very fast. You're about to get screwed hard and fast.

I didn’t realize it on my first watch, I scrolled through the comments as fast as I could to see if I was going crazy or not!😂
I was about to comment that lol but first wanted to see if someone else got it I’m playing hogwarts mystery as I listen i was sad that he didn’t say anything
Didn't get it till the final line and then i felt stupid

34:06 reminds me of Harry Potter and the Dursley's story being from Uncle Vernon's view... Am I crazy?
In pretty sure that post was ripping off potter.
Yep. Referencing the deathly hallows book. Snape’s story in the pensive and petunias viewpoint. Well written too. Almost missed it
the clean air break is great - my mom worked at a dr office when i was a kid and about half the staff there were smokers. the smokers were taking 7+ 15 minute breaks constantly every day forcing my mom and the others to pick up their slack. to give them a taste of their own medicine my mom and a few others bought a bunch of candy cigarettes that even included the ability to blow powdered sugar out of the paper wrapper like smoke.
they then proceeded to take constant "smoke" breaks all day for a few days. after that the smokers were way better about how they behaved. my sisters and i also got to enjoy the leftover candy.
The cystic fibrosis story😢 terrible. My brother in laws aunt lost 3 of 4 children to it long ago. The good news is the surviving child is no almost 50 with the help of a lung part transplant from my brother in law. With the advancements being made that momma may indeed see her son live a decently long life or even better by the time he's grown, and he may have babies
"Anything the administration deems disruptive" Having staff make up rules and randomly harass students with them is... disruptive. Why don't teachers _get that_ ! In my entire school career neither mine nor anyone else's clothes have ever interfered with my ability to learn. When class is stopped because a teacher would rather yell about hoodies than teach the friggin class, that really interfered with my learning.
I like this guy's laugh, especially when he's trying to tell the "smoke break" story. 😂
I wasn't totally sold on my sister's husband. I met them shortly after they got engaged and took them out for lunch. I went through the usual questions. Do you make each other happy, do your career goals align, are you on the same page when it comes to kids, what's the plan for your future as a team, do you understand that if you hurt her I will cut your body into pieces and mail them to your parents one chunk at a time, etc. At one point my sister went back to her car and we were chatting just the two of us. I asked him what drew him to my sister in the first place. His answer was so sweet it gave me a cavity. "The first time I saw that girl, I knew I'd follow her anywhere." Approval gained. They've been married for a couple years now and haven't had to prep a bone saw and postage.
The last sentence was perfect.
I think what won my now mother in law over was my absolute dedication to their family. Mine is extremely small, having a whole 4 members in the states, and that does include me. But since we got together, I’ve tried my absolute best to always be helpful in any situation that her family comes across (general household help, moving, yard work, you name it). I’ve gone from original threats of jail time (I was 19 when we got together, my wife was 17) to being a valued member of the family who is regularly asked to house sit regularly while having a mini fridge stocked with my favorite beer always on hand. I love my family!
8:34 my brother would go out with the cooks that smoked and had the candy cigarettes. 1. To mess with those who smoked and 2. Get the smoke break
At the fast food place I work at, we HAVE to have press-to-talk headsets for the drive-thru because people kept getting in trouble because of unmuted mics. We'd forget the customers could hear us talking to each other about how stupid they were and how loud their car was.
The curse of drive-thru headsets. A co-worker accidentally said "Will someone shut that kid up" over a live headset. He later became a manager. It's only happened twice in 7 years but sometimes the customer says something crazy after their order, not realizing we can hear them. I will always remember the guy telling someone over the phone where the cocaine is. He had to repeat his instructions a few times because the other guy was an idiot.
I've been in the work force for 11 years now, and these stories are so cathartic! Knowing that there are others that use work rules in their favor, just to stick it to the man, makes me feel less alone.
I love this series of Mainly Facts and Mostly Facts and both narrators.
Okay, the Harry Potter joke got me to giggle.
I feel like punishing kids for distracting hairstyles or clothing is MORE distracting than what the kids are being punished for.
HE'S NOT A DISSAMBODIED VOICE ENYMORE! IM SO HAPPY FOR HIM!
This guy made my day, hearing the voice i immediately felt happy after a long day thank you!!
Do you realize that if *every* banking rule were followed, banking would completely shut down?
To a point. I certainly hope the spirit of the laws and rules get followed. Sadly....
Had a shipment of large, heavy items to send to a prison. I knew that shipments via FedEx (about $200 to ship the product in the smallest boxes possible, but a large number of them) would be damaged or lost, so I was going to ship it by freight. One pallet, heavy, about $400 to ship because it's going to a prison. The boss told me to FedEx it anyway, so I did. We lost about ¾ of the shipment and with costs for shipping twice, eating the cost of lost product, and replenishment of our stock, it cost us well over $1000. The very definition of jumping over dollars to save dimes.
Principal is the person. Principle is a point or rule or belief. (As long as we’re talking about school…)
Definitely agree about being careful around microphones, I work with a PA system and the first thing the trainer told me was to not say anything around the microphone that you don’t want everyone to hear
I used to work on staff for a sightseeing tour, where we would send out boats of people and tourists (who are technically people, but less self awareness), and it was my job managing the dock, and guiding the traffic in the area to make sure people got on and off the boats. Sometimes there would be people in wheelchairs would would need my assistance in getting them across the ramps safely. The pay was okay, but I got zero respect from my superiors.
I was given the legitimately worst task of the staff, and here is why: if customers complained that they didn't get a good view, they tell me that they want to get a refund or see my manager, assuming that I conned them. My job wasn't selling real estate, expensive homes and cottages with a pristine view over the lake.. I was merely tasked with making sure tourists weren't loitering on my dock.
The other problem of the job was was the illicit handling of my position.
Now where I live, there's a labor law, and this law inquires that workers must be legally offered every 3 work hours a 15-20 minute break. This can include lunch breaks, but wait for it.. I was given NONE of those. Not during summer shifts, nor opening or closing season.
I did ask around about this with my employer, and he said stoically, "What are you talking about (PsyCake)? You get a 15 minute break every time a ship leaves the dock."
Largely untrue. And he said this as if I wasn't doing my job.. I was at the company for at least a year.
I basically had to go through the play-by-play of how the dock is ACTUALLY managed. Boat A gets filled with people. Boat B shows up to be filled with people. Boat B is filled with people. Boat B leaves dock, as Boat A comes in to unload people.
The process for unloading and reloading a boat? Takes about 15 minutes.
I was not allowed to sit during the process or eat.
So my employer basically looked at me as if I had two heads, and eventually had HIS boss come down (I will call him Nepo-Manbaby, as his brother owned the company).
Nepo-Manbaby sidles up to me one day and comments, "So I heard, (PsyCake), that you filed a complaint.." Blah, blah, blah.. He went on to try repeating my employer's words, but I once again mentioned the labor law: every three hours, workers who are designated to manual labor are supposed to be offered a break; I even mentioned its reference in the employee handbook, as this was provided for every other position (even the people who manned the traffic gates so the herds of tourists wouldn't wander off the reservation like cattle were given them), and specifically stated that I was not getting the same treatment, implying that they were breaking a regional law.
..They complied with my request.
Since then, the company was bought out by another owner, they went ahead with some rebranding, and now THAT company is going out of business, or so I hear.
Seems petty, but I love that for them.
“…brought forth an army of the undead to trample the city!” Kinda ironic that you’ve got Left For Dead 2 is playing in the background when you said that! 🤣
Fair warning, there's stories about S-assault and they didn't add the timestamps to skip them for the compilation.
i see bundle of these are about hair lol. i’ve always been sensitive about my hair bc i like it long, and my family (on both sides) doesn’t go bald. all four grandparents have/had full heads of hair into their late 60s-70s. my grampa (maternal) still has a full head of solid black hair. my grampa (paternal) had white hair since my dad was a kid, and my dad has grey hair already, and has since he was 20. i waited my whole life to see which one i would be and once i turned 17 i immediately regretted looking forward to it. now at the age of 23 (24 in a couple weeks) i can only think about different colors i want to dye my white streaks. so far i’ve got pink, baby blue, and purple on the list
Falling asleep to this is difficult when there are loud ads every few minutes.
I love this guy lmao 🤣
I have a school hair story
I dyed my hair neon colours a few times during school, neon orange and fuscia pink to be exact, and a few times teachers tried to convince me to redye it to a natural colour (my hair is greish brown btw) which didn't work (my mum dyed my hair fyi, so she was on board of me keeping it), and once the principle asked me "what kinda example do you think you're giving to younger kids?"
I thought I was giving a perfectly fine example, as I wasn't rambunctious or really acted out ever, just had bright hair.
Some time later I noticed some of the younger students also having dyed hair. Idk if that was my influence or a coincidence (probably the latter), but I count that as a win for me.
21:00 that principals a freaking savage
41:46 you flushed a phone down the toilet? What happened to the brick phone? XD
20:03 in their defense, I crushed a cantaloupe with a giant wooden hammer on stage at school, and started two water balloon fight, book burning doesn’t feel too far off.
Thats why i love the malicious compliance video stories
My oldest daughter Danielle's fiancé Austin won me over by saying he loved her independence and strong will. That she wasn't just a pretty face but had a beautiful soul and heart of gold. He loved her loyalty to me and especially her loyalty to her baby sister. He loved the fact that she stood up for people, that she was so supportive of people especially strangers. He said it shocked him to know that the girl was totally different the what people had said about her. I replied with, she puts up a wall of being tough, that she isn't sensitive and most people see her as a bitch or a CU Next Tuesday. But my girl is a sweetheart, that she loves all creatures even snails and slugs. Hates to kill a bug or a spider. If she can trap them humanity she will. But cries if she has to kill them all but ants, she can't stand ants. I actually think he won my heart the minute we met when they walked in the door and he hugged me and called me mom. She was 15 and he was 17. They have been together ever since and got engaged in 2021, last year they bought a house.
This should have been two separate videos one on gaming the system and uncomfortable secrets.
The Jaws ride story, at 3:54... i had to rewind a few seconds at the start because I thought you said "union farm" instead of uniform...
I absolutely love seeing your face in your videos! You look just as friendly and inviting as your voice sounds ❤
in that very first story, that boss saw the shirt and understood instantly why, and already knows that he can't do anything
32:37 i have Asperger's actually.
It can be helpful, like giving me very acute senses, but most of it is just problems
I flat out told several bosses that I was taking non-smoking breaks
😂
Story 8: he could’ve just worn his hair in a high ponytail. Then it wouldn’t ‘touch’ the collar of his shirt
Man I gotta love when people piss the boss
PLZ for the love of god take his advice on hair im 23 and alredy have grey and thining hairs T-T
Thank you so very very much for your video!!!!
I just remembered for the 1st Story, a Cartoon Network show that depicts the notion for the "Tuck In Your Shirt!!" quote. Ms. Simeon from "The Amazing World of Gumball", happiness being so infectious, that it becomes an outbreak of Colossal Proportion.
Great video as always👍
Appreciate that
@@MainlyFact no problem Mr facts
Not a principal but the football announcer. Before him and the marching band’s announcer he didn’t turn off the mic and we heard him say. “I hate these damn nerds.” Our band director was pissed!! Lol
32:09 this story kind of reminded me of something. So I haven’t had the best beginning of my life but my siblings had it worse. Several years ago my mother got divorced from a man. I was never really told why. I quickly found out a while afterwords that man had abused and raped my older sister (abused the rest of my siblings but only raped the older one) my mother never told me but I heard her several times talking about it to my sister. I didn’t know how to react I suppose I felt guilty. Guilty for loving that man. That’s besides the point though, only until a few years later were we told despite me being the youngest my other older sister never even knew. My mom never did tell me how my aunt died. I found out by myself she had overdosed and had passed away. She still hasn’t really told us. My middle sister had brought a book home about a kid that overdosed and my father (not biological) had brought up the fact we know someone who passed from that. My middle sister who is kind of slow and doesn’t catch on that quick didn’t understand. I went “our aunt.” And my dad went “I didn’t know if y’all knew why she passed away.” I answered “I do. Mum never told us but the signs are obvious.” I know my mom has gone through things and that we were children but I would’ve been nice to tell us.
Lmfao story four is just harry potter😂
12:56 his shirt wouldn't have been tucked so you wouldn't be able to see the belt loops anyway
Honestly, as a devout Christian I appreciated what you had to say about fake Christians. It’s really an epidemic.
i just noticed you have fabulous nail polish on! i really like the shimmer it gives :D
20:00 was great 😂
The one who got a free ride to college to play hockey. In high-school the principle took my free ride to MIT and gave it to the valedictorian which was also mine. This was cause she didnt like me. It also gave a grant to my high-school cause of the combination of classes i took that they dont teach anymore. She manage to do it by saying there was a messup on the paperwork. Course because the studant who all she had was her looks going for her flunked out within a few months. But during thoes few months the principle found me and threated ether get her up to snuff or she would make me pay. I didnt help and the school literly went broke since MIT sued them for misappropriation of funds. MIT got there money back and priciple thrown under a freight train since she could tell the truth that she burned my scholarship and get fired or say nothing get fired and see jail time.they offered me my spot but declince from the bad tast in my mouth
Gawd Iove the little "shoulder waggle" when he said "do just that"
So sassy 😂😂😂
The best malicious compliance
these compilation videos are great, but you need to name them something that mentions it's not just one topic, and it's a compilation. Keep up the good work.
That guy posted Harry Potter and thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did.
19:47 True or not, this story has "Up the Wolves" vibes and would make for good literary content.
Also highly recommend the band "The Mountain Goats" if you're into folk rock.
Also for future reference, children can remember bad things happening to them, even bef9re they had the capability of forming repayable memories. Even when in the womb, children have been known to be affected by verbal/psychological domestic violence against their mother
you’d be SHOCKED at how many adults do candy dude
I listen to these at work
More of a funny short story about my schools food. Our food was horrible bc we had a rule about not having anything unhealthy so they took even salt and pepper out of our school everything was bland flavorless or just downright gross a kid that sat with us at lunch thats been to jail before even said that the jail food was better than the schools food lmao so one day a kid started selling food to kids in the morning before the day started it was quite funny to me bc you can easily make your own food at home and bring it in but I guess ppl rather buy his food I guess it was good bc I never bought it myself
Imagine this being just a story while you're reading Reddit stories
For the s assault video here’s the upgraded time stamp 28:35
1 day back in 4th or 5th grade , A kids dad Came in to visit him and had lunch with him. In the middle of lunch Dad got bored Started a food fight And none of the teachers believed That it had been started by an adult. Every kid in the cafeteria Got detention
And now I know why they had a senior do the daily announcements...
Am I the only one that wants to hear the story of why or how he flushed the Panasonic phone down the toilet??
I'm pretty sure that the story @34:06 is Harry Potter, but told from Vernon Dudley's point of view.
Anyone ever just watch the background while listening to these?
Ayo you need to show off them nails! They look real nice!
He can show off anything he wants. It all looks real nice.
My youngest daughter Caitie, well her guy Nick won my heart when they were 4yrs old, his dad worked with my FIL. At company picnics my girls would go with my in laws and my mother in law would snap pics. She said Nick was so sweet and would be perfect for Caitie because they were both so quiet and shy. Sad to say my MIL never got to see them together but I think she had a hand in making it happen. My MIL died the day after they finished 10th grade. They started dating when they were 20 they are 24. Their birthdays are both in October he is 15 days older. Danielle and Austin who I mentioned in another comment are 27 and 30. Austin always said that he more likely then not would have been a friend to my oldest child Ryan if we hadn't lost him as a tiny baby. Ryan would have been weeks younger then Austin
14:35 for a friend that told me it was a vice principle or something like that and they said fuck so yeah
fun fact about Christian schools they all are actually catholic schools and thus focus more on money and appearances then teaching things closer to the actual religion. thus, you be correct about these schools and their bias. but also, as a Christian thank you for also adding a message that we all are not like most fake Christians so thank you dude also awesome job with narration and commentary.
"Sir you legally have to do this" (command) " nuh uh"
19:11 no no no if he wants trouble, we'll make it double
I started smoking for this reason. I needed them breaks in that job 😹🤣
34:40 Dammit this is Harry Potter
Dear Mr. Mainly Fact,
Might I suggest dyeing that beautiful ‘stache of yours if you miss changing your hair? Might look funny but it’s fun and you… if you want to do it that is.
Point of information: "gluttony is a sin" is *not* in the Bible. The "Seven Deadly Sins" were invented by the Catholic church during the Middle Ages.
To which all lead to sin
@@Emderwolf Show me your evidence for "sin."
@@tedcoop4392 lust, leads to the act of adultry or other wretched acts
@@tedcoop4392 greed, focus on money and materials rather than God, builds a lust for money
@@tedcoop4392 wrath, can lead to murder, lying, or adultry
As a christian turned judeo-pagan, I love the kid who threw away food and saying gluttony is a sin!
I always hated the double-standard in the system!
you have a beautiful mustache sir
5:55
With how accpting and open minded you are, i just cant believe you would refer to the boss as a him or her 😂
Maybe they identify as a fish
I don’t get why people knowing how Disney is. Applies to Disney which is known for their unification of the way people look. Then get upset that people want them to look uniformed. It’s almost like what’s wrong with them?
For working with smokers
I was the only one that didn’t smoke but I wanted to be included
So I brought one of those sparklers for my coworkers to light
27:34 That timestamp on screen makes no sense :D
I'm in my last year and we aren't allowed to have our phones out at all, even if school has ended and we take it out on the premises it can be taken until tomorrow
You can only wear the school jackets but they are 35 euros and literally do nothing heat or water protection
So in 4th grade they let you leave school grounds for lunch... Unsupervised... I'm Gen X and they wouldn't let us do that in the 80s...
Cystic fibrosis does shorten your life, but people can live with it into their 50s now. So it's not like the kid is going to die soon or anything, at least.
