Just have to give a huge shoutout to Charlotte Dobre and her team for being so nice about correcting my order, just makes me love Charlotte more and proves that she truly cares about her followers and the quality of her products. I don’t have other social media to post this on but wanted to make sure everyone knows she truly is a great human and it’s not just a show for her videos ❤
My son is autistic and I had to explain him the concept of "personal belongings ". And he totally got it. You teach you child social rules, for as long as it'll take for them to get it. Period.
Not every kid will it's a wide spectrum. But at the end of the day if she can't follow the rules she shouldn't be unsupervised or they need to make accommodations to protect the other students.
I worked with to kids in the autistic spectrum and both got this right. One of them wouldn't even touch food from other people. But like the other user said, if the kid is not in the wide spectrum, it could be also non-verbal then these kids, usually, are never unsupervised.
@Amit kumar stop talking out of your ass. An Autistic kid is very much capable of being a bully, just like every other kid. I'm not even gonna reply to any other part of your comment because you clearly don't know or understand anything about the situation or how autism effects people.
@Amit kumar clearly you misunderstood. Apologies for that. No, never said and never meant an autistic child is a bully...it surprises me that the message was delivered that way. It is just that kids, for example non verbal are mostly supervised. That's a fact, no something make up. And supervised primarily to protect them. Have a great day and before going judgemental on something, please ask first.
As so.eone who is on the spectrum, and worked with autistic children most of my adult life, this is insane. That is a bad mom and setting her kid up for failure. That's more mean than holding her accountable and having reprocussions for actions.
Big this. That girl likely has the full capability to know what she’s doing is not ok but if there’s no consequences why stop? That attitude loses friends early on so by high school she probably doesn’t have many so she’s not worried about her peers opinions either. The mom has guaranteed her daughter will be unable to function in society without serious intervention as an adult.
@@chelscara the big thing is social rules. Yeah, it's annoying that we don't understand them... but you don't have to understand the full rule to know that you're breaking it. You're absolutely right. She will have grown up not knowing how to act around people, or treat friends, or even understand that sharing food isn't always okay. Like this is doing her no favors.
Came here to say the same thing! I can say as a child I stole food, but all it took was one person asking me not to to make me stop! That and a talking to from my mom. That’s what really did it, but I think the point still stands. HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM (autism in general but the stories I see always seem to be high functioning) IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BE A JERK!!!
This. I have a now adult son that is on the spectrum...you NEED to hold them accountable. if you don't, they won't learn. using Autism as an excuse to not teach a child is neglect.
I love who everyone was 100% 9n board with that too. Like, the petty revenge was born out of a single stupid comment, but flourished into a wave of never-ending petty revenge. 😙👌 Beautiful.
Just got off the phone with one of my Best friends who is gay and LMAO as a Big Husky contractor I would fake it to Defend a Friend just to F with that Idiot lady.
I firmly believe that anyone that works in retail after pandemic is a god damn saint. And any "karen" that treats them badly deserves karma just like this.
As someone who is autistic, my parents held me accountable for all of my actions, autism or not. They never let it become a crutch for me. I'm glad they taught me actions and consequences.
I suspect that that was the opposite case for that kid’s behavior - the mom probably uses it as an excuse to get away with bad behavior and to not be accountable for anything. The mom sounds really lazy and uninvolved, and just cannot be bothered. She has also taught her kid to use it as excuse, even though they *know* what they’re doing is wrong.
@@Erika-us2ws Have you ever worked in a grocery store or any retail store? Shit like this DOES happen, especially in certain parts of the world. Like the south. Or Utah. Or any ultra-religious, overly-conservative corner of the world. It definitely happens.
@@giggle_snort as someone who used to be a conservative Christian (in the South), I have my doubts to the validity of the story as well. While they do have strong feelings about gays, I've never known anyone who believes that something was "tainted" just by touch.
@@eiremerald there was someone who was afraid of receiving a knee cap from a gay or lesbian, and they didn't even know that the doctors fabricate kneecap replacements
Autistic people are not necessarily intellectually challenged. Infact they can be very intelligent and high achievers. So for the mother to allow her to eat other people's lunch saying she doesn't know better is BS logic. Sure it is difficult to raise a child with ASD, but that doesn't mean you allow everything they do.
I was just saying the same thing. I know someone who is on the spectrum and now is a successful artist and the other has a well known channel here on UA-cam. Being on the spectrum means their brains work differently and they can see things that our brains cannot.
I mean,I have known people in the spectrum who were dual-diagnosis with developmental disorders....but even in those cases, there need to be some guidelines and appropriate ramifications. At the very least, YES, locks on the lockers!
They just need to be taught and learn what they can and can’t do. You don’t just stand there and let them run amok doing whatever they want and getting away with everything. It’s a failure on the parent and the teacher and anybody else the kids tried to get help from with the situation. You just need someone to explain things to them in ways they’ll understand
Exactly! Anyone (parents or not) with or without knowledge or experience should not say: “But they don’t know what is right and wrong. They have this….” Is just plain ignorant. I had a fellow student in the High School program as me get away with everything. Whether the student is autistic, has a learning difference or not they need to learn accountability. And I don’t think Charlotte gets that.
If you can't make sure you don't harm others (this includes stealing things they need) you shouldn't be unsupervised, sad as that may be. A handicap is never an excuse. It can be an explanation, but there's a big difference between those two. (I'm Autistic myself)
As the mother of a well-behaved autistic teen son I'd like to say that even when he doesn't understand why he can't do something he understands there are consequences... It's actually important to put your 🦶 down & maintain rules
Agree being a mom of a autistic kid. I am the same. She needs to know that stuff like that just is not okay. Her autism isn’t a excuse to just do what she wants and be disrespectful. Yes still talking about my own kid
One of my cousins children is very non verbal autistic and he definitely understands what is right and wrong. Hes about 38 maybe 39 and a few years ago a new school/daycare/ adult home place gave him an iPad with several different programs and by golly hes so much smarter than you'd think by just looking and being around him. I mean I knew he was in there and knew that he had rules but he also knew I was the cousin who saved him his own slice of blueberry pie at the family reunions as it was his favorite The reunion after he got the iPad he ran all over and would hand the iPad to people telling us how much he appreciated how we, as family treat him with kindness and love. I only see him a few times a year but im his pie cousin. Thats what he calls me. We were kinda shocked(even his mother) that not only did he figure out the iPad programs in days that he could read and spell a bit. It has to be hard for him to have all that going on and not be able to communicate to us. I still try to have blueberry pie for him but he told me he likes my raspberry pie too. I even got a one armed hug before he ran off to show his iPad to another family member. And I know how hard physical contact is for him so to get a hug made my whole day. I teared up a little. Still do thinking about it. It has made me change how I think about others with disabilities for sure having family with them. Im very loud and I know for sure that can be off-putting for sound sensitivity so I do try not to be the loudest in the room lol
Exactly.... I have an autistic nephew and his parents always walked on egg shells around him and all it did was re-enforce bad habits and incorrect behaviour..... He literally made my son cry when he threw my sons lego dinasour that he took hours building over a wall and a car drove over it...... And can you guess who got scolded.... Yes, I did because I simply pointed out that what he did was wrong..... By not making him accountable to a lesser degree we're basically saying that he does not have enough intellect to differentiate between right and wrong..... And THAT is an insult to his intelligence.....
Thank you. I cannot imagine your struggle yet with any kid a parent can teach them consequences gently and kindly. I have difficulties and had no parent to help, your child is so blessed to have such a great mum!!
As someone on the spectrum, we're not STUPID! We do know better! We can be taught things, we just don't always understand things like other people. I have issues with picking up on certain social cues until someone tells me. I still need to be reminded at times but Not often.
See this is the thing, my friends brother who was the same age as me, who attended a special school, the autistic children that attended my own school which their where a good few, even my own cousin. Like people acting like Autism is like fully alien and allowing bad behavior because “it’s just the way, they are” feels like a failing of Austin children. Like it’s an adults excuse to not try and teach. And probably would save an Autistic child some ostracization and allow them to fit in with their peers a bit more. Like they may have hard a hard time managing emotions and understanding social cues and how to function and communicate with neurotypical children, but like autistic children are still children and need to be taught right from wrong. It’s sad to see kids being failed like that.
@@Swifly_Norman Oh I do too. The thing is though, some parents either don't teach their kids it's wrong or ENCOURAGE their kids to steal, of their own the spectrum because then they get to use the same excuse the mom of that girl did "They don't know that's bad/wrong" which usually means they were never TAUGHT it was wrong. When I was young I'd try to grab food and eat it too cause I was hungry and didn't know it was bad to steal, until someone explained it to me. The girl in the story was likely never told it was bad to do that (like most of us) OR she was encouraged to do it because she could get away with it because of her autism. Which is worse. A guy at a grocery store I used to work at was very special needs but he used it to his advantage to do bad stuff. The store wouldn't fire him because they didn't wanna be sued for "Firing a mentally handicapped person" because of how much people preach about equal opportunity for people on the spectrum to get regular jobs like regular people. He knew they wouldn't fire him (This company cared so much about their reputation) so he'd sexually harass women. Didn't matter if they were customers or employees. He even groped one of my friends who worked in the bakery! She reported him but they didn't do anything to him because "He didn't know any better" (He did). He'd even bring in p*rn magazines or swimsuit magazines and read them on his lunch break in the deli dining room and LEAVE THEM ON THE TABLE. Where customers could see them. It was horrible knowing someone else on the spectrum would use their disability to get away with that crap but some people do cause they KNOW they don't get in trouble.
Bad parenting is not the kids fault. But yeah, lets just not say anything because they are autistic. How is this helping your kid when they become adults? Lifeskills folks.
I’m a support staff for people with disabilities and unfortunately some people are held down by never being held accountable and are always left to sit while everyone does everything for them. They have the capability to learn so much they just need someone with the capability to help them.
@@Harleysmom2022 absolutely I couldn't think of the word for it at the time but I believe it's what is called a learned helplessness. As you know it can stop the person from not just learning that task at the time but it almost steals their zest for learning and the confidence that's built when we learn and accomplish a new task. It's definitely a form of enabling similar to things that family members of drug addicts. People do these things with good intentions but unfortunately it's not something that's helpful at all. I hope you and your husband are able to get things figured out.

My stepson is autistic. He is extremely smart and high functioning. My MIL, who lives with us 😒, has taken a big part in his upbringing. She does not allow him to do things for himself, which he ABSOLUTELY should be doing at 15 and is perfectly capable of, despite his father and I pushing back and telling her to stop doing this. She has hindered his development and it drives us up the wall. We’ve shown him how to do things, seen him do them and then after a few days it’s completely forgotten because she will literally stop him from doing something and take over the task herself. It angers me so much… her desperation to feel “needed” is essentially hurting our child. Using a person’s autism as an excuse to not parent or guide/teach them will ultimately hurt their growth, development and ability to function at their highest level of capability.
It's because the parents allowed the behavior because it was to hard for them to teach proper behavior. Even with a child who is on the spectrum can be taught all sorts of things it just takes more work and they werent willing to put that work into there child
I was dating a guy who wasn't working while I was working 3 jobs, 7 days a week. Gave him the money to pay all the bills while I was at work, but he claimed he "lost the money." So I packed everything in the house that was mine or I paid for & left in less than 8 hrs. Including all the food in the house but I took it all out of the boxes & just left the empty boxes, so there was still an illusion of food in the house when he got there! 🤣🤣🤣
As a mom with a 15 year old son on the spectrum, I worked hard to make sure he understood right from wrong, and if he did something wrong there are consequences to that action. This just really gets under my skin.
@d This one just sounds lazy. They owe it to their daughter to teach her boundaries even if it takes a different approach than with other kids. I call it abuse.
@d I mean, the story was about stealing. Not teaching a child to not break laws is just setting them up for life long failure. Right now, it's just stealing lunches from other students; but if she learns this is acceptable behavior who knows what she would steal next, or from who? Stealing from someone dangerous could also endanger her life. Also, "consequences" doesn't automatically mean abuse. Boundaries are important.
Well, I will let the people who’s kids are so disabled they supposedly couldn’t potty train know what shit parents they are, as soon as I remember their surnames. As a retired school nurse I’m so upset! I had two kids who had to be brought in to be assisted. I just wish I had realized every autistic child had the same level of disability, and those kids just enjoyed soiling themselves. What freaking brats, and garbage parents! They were all just wasting my time, because they are so spoiled and lazy! The absolute NERVE of them all.
As a former retail worker, the lesbian one is definitely my favorite customer/ petty revenge story ever! Although, it really shouldn't even be called petty. It's clearly a public service to everyone who will ever come in contact with that toxic psycho. My workplace once had a family who made it very clear they were unhappy about being rung up by a black employee. They're lucky I wasn't there, I would've told them to get out after I got over the shock. Definitely makes my top 5 for worst/craziest things to happen at that job in my 7 years there.
I'll always remember the women who called me a f*cking foreigner once because I refused to sell her alcohol since she didn't have her ID and looked under 21.
She would have a serious problem in my country because 90% of our cashiers are black. She wouldn't be able to shop anywhere. I live in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

I was a freshman in high school. We had a homophobic teacher. There were at least 4 gay students in our class and it was known. One day our teacher started bragging about how him and his friends would beat the gay out of the guys and teach the girls what it was to be a man. I’m pretty sure he was admitting to assault and r***. You could see the discomfort in my classmates face. Mind you he would call me “my girl”. This was also the first time he ever brought up anything about being homophobic. So I raised my hand. He responded with yes my girl. So I told him but sir… I’m GAY😢. What are you gonna do to me? He stared at me in shock. Then yelled at everyone to do their work. This happened like 18 years ago. He stopped teaching in about a month. No one knew why and no one cared to ask.
Yeah that teacher is definitely a predator. Narcissistic, even sociopathic. People who are truly secure with themselves don’t feel the need to project their masculinity on to others, become violent with others, etc
@@sds6303 yes. This is true. Smart people are usually quiet && observant. People who brag are compensating for something they DONT have. If you have it, it's like obvious, && if you don't, you make things up.
as someone who is autistic but didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood, i still was fully able to understand the concept of personal belongings edit: but even if i didn’t, it would have been the responsibility of the adults around me to help me to understand to show compassion to the others involved as well
Please remember it is a spectrum. Not all autistic individuals are able to form aforethought. Some may not have the ability to comprehend cause and effect, be toilet trained,or be in a normal school environment and need full time long term care.
@@oknahh omg fs yes! i didn’t mean to try to insinuate that my experience was the only experience. my goal was to more share my experience and my frustration is honestly aimed at the mother and the teacher for how they handled the situation. but i fully see now that it came out and was interpreted differently than i had intended
@@Ellie-ub7qo thank u. You'd be surprised how many in the comments have no idea what the spectrum really is. So many think it's just a delay or awkward shyness bc they are autistic and that's how they are but it's wayyyy different.. some encouraging discipline but with no knowledge of the individuals ability to comprehend:( sad
@@oknahh It is but I'm a autistic person myself and know other people with autism in different spectrums and even if we needed it have to get explained over like a thousand times we all got that stealing from others is bad. Autistic people are often pretty smart and if they see that they get pampered by others over the fact that they are Autistic will they infact use it, I tried it for a short time but my parents immediately got stricter (Not in a bad way since they are pretty chill) and I stopped that.
I’m bi, omg the one about the lesbian manager is the best story I have EVER heard in my life! I love how all these other managers rallied for this woman and all pretended to be gay to defend her, literally my fave story so far! I can’t stop laughing 😂 love these petty videos!!
When I was in preschool there was an accident that resulted in me being injured and getting diagnosed with PTSD. The mother of the kid who caused the accident never apologised or acknowledged what had happened, which really bothered my mum. So when this mother went to get her car serviced at my mum's place of work, one of the mechanics bought some fish sauce from the supermarket across the street and poured it into some part of the air conditioning so that when she turned it on her car would smell of fish. I think it was an appropriate response.
Just want to say I'm so sorry that happened to you! That had to be incredibly difficult to deal with at such a young age. I have PTSD from an incident when I was 18, but I can't imagine having it since preschool.
The first one really made me laugh out loud. Spoons, can labels and shoelaces. Funny as hell. Actually this was the best petty collection, Charlotte. Love it.
I have an autistic little brother. Such condition is not an excuse to be bad. They still can learn things. Like, we taught our lil bro to be nice to other people and be helpful. He is just adorable when he sweeps the floor with the broom, helping around when we clean. Or he even just gives us hugs out of the blue.
I have two brothers who are autistic. They would never ever steal other people's food! My parents would never let them behave however just because of their neurodiversity. They are great guys today. Its all about helping them reach their potential and be their best selves.
I worked 3rd shift and would often work through my lunch break to meet deadlines. 1st and 2nd shifts would do whatever was easiest knowing if certain jobs didn't get finished would only look bad on me. I really didn't have a problem with this because I loved the OT. I would bring food into work for the week, since going out or ordering in wasn't an option. By Wednesday or Thursday all my food would be gone! I considered telling management but I knew they'd just tell me to work it out. I LOADED everything with powerful laxatives the next week and waited. I got called into work early the next day. I thought it was to be fired, but the boss just said the majority of both 1st and 2nd shifts called in sick and they desperately needed help. I worked almost 36 hours straight to pound out all the deadlines. Everyone who ate my food knew it was me but couldn't say anything without incriminating themselves. The boss was well aware of this but didn't say a word to anyone. At the monthly meeting the boss congratulated me on an outstanding job whilst everyone else was sick. Then he presented me with a $200 Visa gift card to spend on whatever I wanted. He also made me Assistant Manager with the power to Fire people. I never heard a word about the incident.
My favourite petty story was my mom's. In the 60s when 'bite sized' candy bars were getting popular, my gramma used to put one in my mom and aunt's lunch when they were in elementary school. There were two boys that were relentless bullies and would steal the goodies out of other kids lunches, specifically my mom's and aunt's. After a couple months of gramma (who was one feisty lady) calling out the teacher and principal, who did nothing, said said eff it. She ironed open the wrappers and took a hot knife to cut a groove into the chocolate and poured cayenne pepper into it. Sealed up the chocolate with the hot knife, iron closed the wrappers, and sent them on their way. My mom said she never saw the outcome when those bars disappeared but a couple weeks later, the teacher had been using chocolate snack bars as rewards for good behaviour and answering. One of those boys won a snickers and my mom saw him quietly throw the candy bar away 😂 Same boys would practice their karate moves on the girls in the schoolyard. My mom was a 'nerd' back then. Skinny bookworm with big glasses. She blossomed in college and became one of the hot girls. She was out at a bar with her bf at that time when someone shouted her name. It was the other boy, and he fell out. Got all excited, kept telling her how good she looked, asked my whitefaced, startled mom if she remembered him!? Well... She told him she did and exactly WHY she remembered him before walking away. She said she continued to have a good night while this guy sat shell shocked and upset at the bar drinking heavily.
Hahaha, my mom did the same thing with one of my chocolate treats that kept getting stolen, it never happened again. On to part two of your story, one of my acquaintances in school (like 4th - 5th grade) was sometimes nice but could be a real AH to some people, including one girl for reasons unknown. Fast forward to a decade later I ran into him. By coincidence we also ran into that same girl who had turned into a total hottie. He tried to get her phone number and she smiled and said "I don't think so". I know that girl was beaming with that sweet sweet comeuppance when he shuffled away.
I think the label-less canned goods thing is just the perfect amount of petty. It doesn’t damage them too much and you aren’t stealing from them, it’s just an inconvenience at the worst.
I would NOT recommend simply "punishing" a child, any child but especially an autistic child, for "bad behavior". Obviously stealing other people's lunches is not okay, and this behavior is a problem that needs to be solved. The biggest issue here is *why* this kid is doing this. Others have mentioned impulse control issues, the family withholding food at home, former trauma around food insecurity, etc. Perhaps this child has been allowed to get away with certain behaviors that should have been corrected, to the extent they don't realize it's wrong. Or perhaps she really can't help stealing other people's food, in which case she needs more support and supervision than what she's getting right now.
@@franzessie9697 like when she was saying the lady would ignore her, and before she told us what the lady did. I was thinking I'd be canceling all kinds of things.
The school lunch story reminded me of a situation very similar that my daughter had at school. She was in special Ed so a number of students had additional needs. One of the girls in my daughters class, targeted my daughter and another student and would take stuff out of their school bags. A particular time for this to happen was during PE when the students belongings would be left in a class room unattended. I spoke to the school countless times and they made countless promises to put things in place for this not to continue. After 5 separate occasions of me attending meetings at the school, the girl struck and and my daughter, after dealing with it the correct way, finally had enough. This last occasion, the student in question had helped herself to something of my daughters that had been given to her by her recently passed grandfather. As a result my daughter lost it and threated to hit the girl and my daughter was excluded as a result. I was so angry that school had failed my daughter so many times and taken no action against the student who was stealing but when my daughter finally confronted the girl, they were so fast to throw her out. So I left with no option, I called the police and reported the thefts. Amazingly my daughters exclusion was over turned and the other student ended up suspended for two weeks. When she returned to school safeguards were finally put in place for the students belongings and we decided not to pursue charges. Years later, I'm still cross that it had to go so far before the school did anything.
I think I would've pressed charges against the school AND the kid. I guess I'm not a great person after all. Ah well. 🤷🏻♀️ That's so infuriating. I'm glad your kid finally got better treatment but ugh. Sorry you both had to go through all that. It's disgusting that the school didn't give a single shit about your kid until the school was threatened with bad PR. Gross. So enraging.
I resonate with the food story because some people used to steal my food. My darlings, I am Indian, and while I don't usually make my food overly hot since I have limited spices and chilies available, this was irritating enough that I spiced my food as my mum would. The people who ate it were dying of stomachaches the next day, while I was perfectly fine. The JOY.
When I was in a small high school people kept getting into my own personal box of tea bags. So I switched it to a nice very smoky Chinese tea I grew up with. Someone might steal one tea bag, but they'd never do it again. And would tell their buddies. So no more problems after that and I got to enjoy my lovely tea in peace.
Personally, I’d make the food just, the most delicious, amazing things… and then go back to regular stuff, so that they can never enjoy it again. Let them have a taste of perfection, and ruin everything else they’ll ever taste again!!!
😂🤣 I'm surprised at how many ppl have had or are having this problem! WHY do some ppl feel they can just eat other ppl's food?! Wild! But I'd have paid to see their faces after this! Lol
I was bullied mercilessly at school. Some years after leaving, I worked in a theatre that hosted various events and inevitably one of the bullies showed up. With his entire family. I recognised him as I took his ticket and said to him, without thinking: "Oh, I remember you! You used to bully me in science lessons!" in front of his entire family. His father made him apologise to me. It's been a good decade since that happened and I still don't know whether I feel guilty for dropping him in it or maliciously pleased.
My husband once had a terrible roommate who, when he moved out, took every single last piece of cutlery with him except one because another roommate had used it and it was in his room. Instead of just buying more, for months the remaining roommates and my husband would constantly be shouting, "WHO HAS THE SPOON?"
That's such a man thing. 3 of my brothers lived together at one point. No one wanted to do dishes, so they kept rehashing the same plate and fork for every meal. And then would argue over it. Lol I just threw away their dishes after 3 months of that nasty shit. Lol got them paper crap. I was sick of coming over to a pig stye, and we're close, so I'm not gonna not hang with my siblings.
We were married for 14 years,had 3 kids I did almost all the cooking. He left me for another woman. He saw the kids every other weekend and he wanted some recipes. Me feeling petty gave him some recipes leaving out ingredients on purpose so the kids would say that doesn't taste like mom's.
The manager that called to see how the other store “tainted” the clothing deserves a raise! This is S tier petty and I’m so glad to see all the other stores joined in.
Irene knew. Notice how as soon as there were consequences for her actions, she stopped. She may not have comprehended fully, but definitely enough to know that someone was insisting it was not her email and that she couldn’t log into it or receive any emails from anyone whom she’d given that address.
That seems ridiculous to me. I’m in the real estate industry. No way would a mortgage broker cancel an entire loan because some random with an email address told them too. That would be illegal.
No I don't think the mortgage broker canceled at all. I think they mostly stop emailing the address completely since they are giving personal information to a suspicious email address
I had a student who had a lot of food issues, they were legit, stemming from when she was a very young child who went hungry more often than not. Myself and her new parents worked hard to help her feel secure that she had food now and did not need to steal it to ensure she had some. One day she left class to go to the washroom. While she was gone another student came to me and said she had a box of Girl Scout cookies in her backpack to give to someone who bought them after school and they were missing. When my little friend returned from the washroom, I asked her if she knew what happened to the cookies, she said “No Miss, I have no idea what happened to them.” And then she grinned at me… with teeth full of cookies. We started keeping cookie deliveries and extra things in my desk after that… and I kept an even closer eye on the hallway when she left the classroom. I’m very shocked that the school did nothing about this. Regardless of issues a student may have they can’t eat everyone else’s lunch. It is something that can be solved with compassion to all parties involved.
My grandma in 1920s Austria had her chocolate from her school lunch stolen. To teach the other girl a lesson she replaced the chocolate with goat poo nicely wrapped in the original chocolate paper 😂 Needless to say the girl was no longer a thief.
I have some friends who are autistic, they know better and aren't stupid. My Mom taught learning challenged kids, she said they had trouble learning but they weren't in any way stupid. Who wouldn't take advantage of people who underestimate them.
This. I was in a classroom with a bunch of young adults who were more or less disabled. For some of them, the class consisted of learning to write their name, for some, learning basic life skills like cooking for themselves or learning better social skills etc., so wide variety of challenges. Every single one of them were capable of following basic rules, unless they were having a meltdown. Some of those with more severe intellectual challenges needed more repetition than some others but in the end, they did learn. I remember the teacher saying that many disabled people act like little children because they were treated like little children, and not like adults.
im literally autistic, diagnosed when I was in elementary school, and literally this. we're not stupid lmao that mom just didnt want to hold her kid accountable. I have a lot of autistic friends, an autistic fiance, and all of us know not to take things not ours. by the time she's in high school, autistic or not, she needs to understand she cant just... take things while I *dont* agree with messing with food with intent to trigger an autistic persons sensory needs, theres literally *nothing* else to do in that situation and it's not like it didn't come without warning - she was asked to stop and if someone tells you to stop and you dont, thats no longer a disability problem but a personality problem. stop is a complete sentence
My petty story: Dated a girl for two years, and it wasn't going anywhere. So we mutually figured it was time to part ways. Or so I thought. I'm at work about a week later (a frozen yogurt shop), and about half way through my shift, my now ex, comes walking in with our mutual guy friend. She's giggling and trying to cuddle with him, while he's visibly uncomfortable. She's making a lot of noise about how funny he is and how cute he is, all the while he's giving me apologetic looks. No worries bro. So she finally gets up to the counter and is talking about how great he is to her, how he might be the one, yada yada yada. I thought about making a scene about what she was doing, but instead I kept my cool and waited for her to finish. After she was done bragging about him, I looked at her with the most sincere face I could muster, and said, "I'll be honest, I've been having a real hard time with our break up. But, now that I can see your with someone new, and how happy you are, I think I'm ready to go looking too! I hope I can find someone who makes me happy like (Mutual friend) makes you happy." Watched her mouth hit the floor. She mumbled something about loyalty, went to her table and ate her yogurt in peace.
The more Irene insisted it was her email the more she dug that house and vacation grave...still funny that OP even tried to send a Christmas card including "btw still not your email." They tried so hard, but that was ultimately really beautiful. Hope all those people had recorded calls too so they could toss in Irene's face her insistence it was her email.
What I wanted to know with that whole story is why couldn't this dude at least help her figure out what her REAL email was?? Obviously there must have been one digit or letter off and she had one extremely similar. Why didn't anybody ask her what her email was? Huge red flag that she said she never got any confirmations and this person was getting them! How did she even log into her own email to see then?? It just leaves too many open questions to me. 🤷♀️
It would have been posted to a physical address. That said, I am confused by the idea that someone would have been receiving all these mortgage details, and there was no phone number on any of the documents. Surely that would be on there
@@mandywalker3393 he sent to her physical address because he had all of her private info because he keeps getting her emails, lol... I would've tried everything to reach out to her too, but you can't just keep saying over and over "this is MY email" or "you have the wrong email address" Try to help RESOLVE the issue maybe by helping her find out what her real email address is! That's what was bothering me so much.
My brother is autistic. He got diagnosed when he was 14, I think, so quite late. He was raised like he was "normal" and therefore he has basic manners. Sometimes, when kids have a diagnosis like autism, parents tend to be more lenient with stuff they would not be lenient when their kid would not have a diagnosis. Every time someone says something about their child's behaviour, they use the excuse of the child having autism. That's not how it works. Those parents are basically raising their children to be entitled and brats...
Yeah, I didn't get diagnosed till I was 57, and I can say 14 would have made my life much easier! That said, I believe that moms of autistic kids get something out of making them dependent on the mom and disabling them more. It has nothing to do with our abilities. My feeling is that the kid was bored stiff and trying to get thrown out of school. Schools are incredibly boring for us because we learn differently, and we get treated like we are idiot savants!
@@RiverWoods111 I'm an English teacher and I often have autistic students in my groups. Could you give me some insight on how to make things more interesting for an autistic student?
@@IngleseconAnna I would love to help teachers to help autistic kids. With English, you have a lot of room to work with your autistic kids. First look at Top-Down learning, so we start at the top of a subject and dive deep down into the most minute details. Also, we love to research! If we are interested in a subject, we will dive deep into the details. If your autistic kids are interested in what you are teaching, they will go home and spend hours researching the subject beyond what you assigned. They will learn it from the inside out. Interest is the key to unlocking our learning and then top-down teaching for us. Find out what your autistic kids are interested in. We all have special interests, and those interests can change over time. Remember we have a single focus, so if you can find ways to tag in their special interests into every subject you are teaching them. They will give you the most amazing work. I had an American History teacher who assigned a political cartoon, and I am an artist and love drawing cartoons. I went home and in 5 minutes drew the most amazing political cartoon he had ever received from a student during his 20 years of this assignment and commented it was better than most professional political cartoons. It was the only homework assignment I did in the entire year because I was bored stiff. I would print my name on the top of tests and turn the tests in blank, yet I remembered every detail and every fact he had taught us from the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, society spends so much time working to convince us we are stupid idiots that we don't even realize that we are the top .15% of intelligence. But you only get high IQ or high social skills, but not both. Neurotypicals make up 64% of the IQ bell curve which is average IQ but have great social skills. There are reasons for this! Because of top-down learning and single focus, we burn neuropathways especially deep and remember everything ever told to us. Many of us think in pictures, so our brain simply takes pictures of everything you write on the board, and in every book. Every test I ever took was an open book because I could flip through a book and memorize it. I turn everything anybody says to me into video and can replay it at any time in the future years later. I have accused people of lying because they changed one minor detail, but because they were Neurotypical they don't remember things as well, and I have the social skills about one. I must admit that I cut a lot of classes in High School because teachers moved too slow. I had an English teacher spend 3 weeks on Julius Caeser, and after a day or 2 I couldn't take the boredom anymore. I cut class for the next 3 weeks, then read the entire story in an hour or less and then took the test the next day and got the highest score. I blew the curve in college continually and graduated with a 4.0 because I was interested in what I was studying. I caused an entire poly science class to fail because I got a perfect score on every test and the professor graded on a curve with no homework and only five tests with three questions. Other autistics think spatially, and they will understand math with no teaching. They are also incredible musicians. I need to study more into this type of learning to understand it better. Although I played five different instruments by the age of twelve, I couldn't read music. It didn't make sense to my head because I thought in pictures. Dang, I wrote a lot here, but neuropsychology and how the autistic brain works in one of my special interests. I have the IQ of Albert Einstein, so I needed to be challenged in school. If your autistic kids are not doing their work find out if they are bored. Let them know it is okay to be bored, and you just want to help them to not be bored.
I can only dream of what my life could have been like if I had understood how my brain worked at 14. Lots of people aren't getting a diagnosis until their 30s or 40s these days for all types of ND issues.
Most places, especially those that do business like that, require a confirmation that pings to your phone so they can verify everything, two factor authentication, for this very reason. They also may send a confirmation to the email and if it isn’t confirmed they have to remove it. This isn’t an American thing, just an Internet business thing.
They also don’t email medical information without sending links for a sign in. Generally your social/birthday. Also you’re telling me she has been purchasing a home, only now noticed the process wasn’t moving forward, they literally call you and say it’s being sent…
5:25 I am not blaming the girl (although being autistic doesn't always mean that you don't know wrong from right, especially once it's been explained), it's the mother and school that should have found a solution for this!! They dismissed the issue, they are responsible for the escalation. The others were only kids, too, they had no power than to do what they did.
I'm autistic, though on the spectrum with low support needs. But a child, I had hard time understanding social contexts and cues, and the proper manners I need to conduct at school. My parents taught me how, though. They always held me accountable if I did something wrong. Just because I'm autistic doesn't mean I could be rude and inconvenience others and just get away with things 🤷🏻♀️ the adults have to step up
As a mother of a high functioning autistic kiddo, I treat my son the same way as my non autistic daughter. He gets introuble when he's bad and gets told why what he did was wrong and not to do it anymore and he understands. Kids on the spectrum are not dumb nor do they not understand right from wrong. Like my son they just need to have things explained to them a Lil differently sometimes for them to understand. So the school and mom making excuses and doing nothing to write the wrong are setting the kid up for failure and will probably have troubles functioning in society.
As a 20 year old person with autism, i have to fully agree with your statement. My mother spend a little bit more time with me than she did with my non autistic sister when we were younger and after i grew up a bit she punished me when i did bad things just like she did with my sister. For example, she just grounds me for a week whenever i misbehaved (I was a wild child, and we got into a lot of fights over almost nothing.. basically what alot of teenagers do)
note to anyone who got ideas from the last story in Canada ( I’m not sure about USA) it is illegal to share someone’s contact information like that without their permission… just be careful because your pettiness may back fire 😂
That email story about the person getting another person's email stuff reminded me of something my Mom told me. My mother told me that back when she was working for the government, now her name was relatively common, it's also unisex, meaning a number of emails would often start off with "Mr. Lastname" because those who would send these emails would think my mother was a man, only to later be shocked to find that she was a woman when meeting in person. However, she would often get emails involving things that shouldn't be connected to her work. Emails involving crime scene photos, witness statements and police reports. She realized pretty quickly that these emails were for a detective on the police force who just so happened to have the same name as her, first and last. My mother would repeatedly have to reply back that this was not the detective's email and that it was the wrong one, but it kept happening no matter what she tried. She would never look at the images, only glance at the first line of text to know if it was actually something for her or for the detective. That is until it suddenly stopped one day and she received one last email from the detective in question, apologies for putting my mother through this for a number of years and not to worry about getting such emails anymore because he had retired.
I appreciate how you acknowledge accountability and remain incredibly kind about disabled people. As an autsitic person who--growing up--genuinely did not know better in a lot of situations, kindness and accountability are the best way to go about it.
My ex husband and I are huge Hamilton fans, like he listened to the soundtrack all the time. Well, he stole money from family and was abusive to me the entire marriage and had several affairs… while he was at work I packed up my stuff and left (even tho it was my house I knew he wouldn’t leave and I’d have to have him evicted). The letter I left him quoted lyrics from “Burn” which Eliza Hamilton sings after Hamilton has his affair. “I’m erasing myself from the narrative..” I used several lines of the song and left it playing on the Alexa for when he got home. I get satisfaction knowing that he will never be able to listen that song and not think of that letter and of me. Not super petty but when I think of it I can’t help but smile. (Guy was a narcissistic sociopath and pathological liar… worst 5yrs of my life).
OMG! That's so amazing! I wish I could do that! I can't wait til I can afford to leave! I'm unfortunately in the same boat. Over 15yrs trapped in an abusive marriage and I now have severe health issues due to so much long term trauma! I'd leave but all the shelters are full, I don't have the income to support myself, and I don't have family or friends to lean on.
I completely buy that Irene had no idea that she was giving the wrong email address. I recently had to spend 3 hours on the phone with my mother trying to explain that Spectrum didn't sign her out of Facebook.
I think the truly pettiest thing I've ever done was the result of an incident at a Hardees. My parents and I had been in the middle of a long, busy day of errands, and we decided to just eat some fast food in the restaurant, because it was so hot outside that you wouldn't want to picnic. Just as we finished eating, a convertible pulled in with a pair of teenage girls in it, and as my mom was throwing away our things and putting the trays away, I held the door open for the girls, as which point they literally pushed THROUGH me and told me to 'stay clear you f**king fat fag" before going off to order at the counter. I just stood there, stunned, then told my mom and dad that I really quick needed to use the restroom. At this point I proceeded to retrieve my cup from the trash, fill it completely with ice and full fat Coke, and as I was leaving to return to my parent's vehicle, dumped the entire thing right across the seats of the convertible. No regrets.
To be honest, the Irene-email-saga could've been solved very quickly by just blocking the e-mailadresses from the travel agency etc. I mean, it's funny as hell but also a lot of work to reply all the time. I'd reply in the first week as it can be a honest mistake and then just blocking all of the incoming emails. Or maybe go to Venice myself :P
Lol homophobes are hilarious. They seriously believe if they outlaw being gay and burn us at the stake that’ll stop them from having constant gay fantasies.
My daughter was non verbal when first diagnosed with autism. I still taught her right from wrong. After years of therapy and being taught at home she decided she wanted to go to high-school. Well there was another kid. His mom was the type that he could do whatever zero consequences. One meeting with the mom and school. Mom said this is his first year in a real school. My wife said "same for our daughter " Our daughter at the time was in transition from MTF. The kid would chase her, destroy projects and then she made friends with a big kid. Problem solved
Years ago, I was working at Target as a cashier. This was before gay marriage was legal and it was a big deal that Target's health insurance allowed domestic partners. One day I was checking this woman out and she was saying a bunch of homophobic crap about the insurance stuff. She bought close to $500 worth of stuff. As I was handing her the receipt, I said "Thank you for helping pay for my gf's health insurance"! She gave me a nasty look and walked off to complain. All the manager said was "Yeah I guess you did help pay her health insurance".
I had an Irene… it wasn’t my email, it was my actual phone number. He like disconnected his phone and dipped on his family. I was the next person to get his number recycled . Yayy!! I had to explain to his son why “I” abandoned him, and why I would not be at their aunts funeral, because I was, in fact, not his father. Job offers etc etc. it was horrible. His doctor‘s office would call to confirm his appointment and I would explain that like this wasn’t his number anymore. I emailed him because my number was still attached to his website and explained and he basically said it was out of his hands lol.
I’ve had my phone number for over a decade and I’ve been receiving calls from all kinds of different medical insurance people or other companies looking for a lady named Diana. I have no clue who this lady is or why she keeps giving my number to people especially since it couldn’t possibly be a case of she used to have this phone number when I’ve had it for so long and the calls only started about 3 years ago. I don’t know if maybe her number is one off from mine or something of that nature, but it’s absolutely insane.
That mom in the girl who steals lunch story better be glad that her child wasn’t allergic to anything they had because if I was op’s mom I’d rally all the parents in that class
No kidding!!! It seems like kids are allergic to something these days. It sounds like she either has an insatiable appetite or rummages through the lunches until she finds something she likes. I'm more curious how she can do this and not get caught. Obviously the teacher is also very dismissive and shouldn't be in her position, especially when she's not keeping a better eye on the students.
@@WeAllLiveInTheTwilightZone the teacher should have their job revoked or at least be under investigation because that’s not normal behavior for a teacher to not even try to talk to the student or parents involved
@@ashleyt6840 exactly! It would be the child’s fault for packing an allergen and then the kids be traumatized by the situation because nothing was done about it
As a teacher I've had a few Autistic Students, they're not stupid they just communicate different. Each case was unique but never was it "they don't understand" it was always me needing to find ways to accommodate their needs without it negatively effecting my other students.
Oh girl, I have a story of my petty revenge on my ex. So quick backstory, my ex-husband and I moved up our wedding date so my grandpa that was put on hospice could attend. He passed away a month after our wedding. Six months later I am attending a summer class 3 hours away, would drive out have class for four days, come home, clean, work the weekend days, grocery shop and meal prep for him for the days I was gone. Things felt strained but not sure why, there was just a weird tension between us. Late July, two weeks before my class ends, he stops talking to me after going to a function with my extended family. Again we are married at this point. I dropped my class and came home to figure out what was going on. Needless to say he said he wanted to split up, we were married 8 months. So we split I still not having a clear answer why. He told me it was because I didn't cook and clean enough, and just spent all his money. Legit his words. So we split, and I took everything that was gifted to me and left everything gifted to him from the wedding. I then also took everything I paid for in our apartment, including all of the serving spoons, curtains, bedding, computer, tv, the dog, etc. I got a very disgruntled text saying to bring all that stuff back and I politely replied, 50/50 and left it at that. I then asked for a few items from the dog and he could not find them.🙄 So one day when I knew he was at work, I went to the apt bc I still had a key and looked for the items I need for the dog. I then moved a majority of the DVDs around in their cases and then moved the cases around in his alphabetized collection. I also moved around some items in the kitchen, just enough to think he put it in the wrong place. Along with items in the bedroom and bathroom. The next week he filed for divorce and changed the locks. Also that class I had to drop, he ended up paying for through the divorce proceeding since I didn't have the income. There is much more to this story but this is good for now.
My petty revenge... I was engaged to my fiancee and looking to book tours for vendors for the wedding. He broke up with me when I already booked a tour. His reason was because we weren't being intimate anymore. Even though, I worked, studied for my board exam, cleaned and cooked for him and my roommate. I found out later he was a compulsive liar and unfaithful. So when he went on vacation and stopped talking to me completely. I went to his Muslim parents and told them I can't lie anymore. When I told them we were intimate before marriage, his mom wanted to disown him and destroy his apartment. 😅
I have a cute email mix up. I had made an email address ages ago using my eldest dogs name and his nickname. I used it for the dog stuff (chip reg, dog supply stores etc). I didn't check it often as it was mostly to just collect the emails from these companies and I'd just clear it out every so often. This dog was insane and always up to crazy things. My dog died suddenly and I was heartbroken. I didn't check the email for a few months. When I did I found emails from a supplier to a restaurant. The restaurant name was my dogs name and nickname but plural instead of singular. Nobody must have realised. I wonder how much chaos my crazy pup caused from beyond the grave with this invoice chain. It was the perfect last prank of the ultimate chaotic troublemaker dog! I laughed long and hard!
I used to use my pets' names when filling out contests or other mail-in information-gathering schemes companies use to create mailing lists. That way I could tell which ones were selling information to other companies (hint: it's all of them!). The funniest one was when "Ben E. Hamster" was given a free membership to the N.R.A., the National Rifle Assoc. I had a pet hamster named Benny. They sent him a patch, a membership card, and a hat! Little Benny loved the hat. He made a nice cozy nest inside of it. 😂 My little boy was in on the joke too. I told him when a telemarketer called and asked for "Mr. Ben Hamster" that I wanted him to pretend to be Benny and talk to the person on the phone in Benny's voice. I would act seriously, tell the caller, "Wait, I'll go see if Ben can talk now" and hand the phone to my son, wink and tell him "It's for Benny!" He would wait for them to say something, then respond with "Squeak? Squeeeak! squeak squeak..." 😂 Too bad I didn't have a video and a speaker phone 25 years ago!
I am sorry you lost your dear pup. As a mom of 5 english mastiffs and a frenchie I know what kind of bond there is with your dogs. Especially with the special ones. It was indeed the perfect trouble that your pup could do to make you smile. Big hugs for you❤️
I used to receive voicemails & texts all the time for a lady named Irene! 🤣 One time I received a voicemail from this lovely women who left an entire recipe during the holiday season. I felt bad that Irene never got that recipe, but I always contacted the numbers to let them know I was not in fact, Irene. Must be an Irene thing! 🤷🏼♀️
Irene’s husband finally snapped and yelled at her that she was wrong. Or maybe someone tried telling her that her email was “hacked” and she should just create a new one.
@@kiana5131 haters are gonna hate, but I wonder when they're gonna learn, that being on a well known anti bullying platform and talking negative garbage won't reward them? And we're all very much judging this comment... and now you. Being ugly only shows us who YOU really are.
@@kiana5131 "She could not care any less about you" Then explain Charlotte liking her comment. Either way, it's nice to be polite and say thanks, you could learn something from this.
Im autistic and oh my god that story pisses me off. Like we're not so stupid that we cannot be held accountable for our actions. Clearly this kid was pretty much given free reign to do whatever she wanted under the guise "she doesnt know better" ugh More than likely, she had some idea that what she was doing was wrong and just didnt give a frick, because she could get away with it. Whether she fully understood is a different matter. The parents and the teacher failed these kids who got their lunch stolen and failed the autistic girl by treating her with the worst type of kid gloves without teaching her what boundaries even mean and that there are consequences.
For the gift card one, you could get one with the little cardboard piece that usually says who the card is from and the dollar amount and just write an incorrect amount. They'll automatically assume that's what's on it since it's a new card instead of checking the balance.
The one about the wrong email lady resonates with me. I'm struggling with that at the moment. The worst thing about my case? It's a twenty-something year old woman that seems pretty tech savvy (yes, I read her emails, sue me) and she definitely should know better. Got her number from one of her orders and contacted her via whatsapp informing her I was getting endless amounts of crap email that was meant for her - orders that need confirmation, invoices for purchases... Seemed solved, she apologized profusely. Months later had to give her another heads-up, since brand new subscriptions were still popping up in my email, so she was still providing companies with the wrong email - MINE. Again, she apologizes. Guess what? More than year later I still get emails that are meant for her... Including a letter of acceptance for a new job that, honestly, seemed really nice... I hope she knows she got it.
LOL My spouse gets phone calls (they've had the same number for almost a decade) for a particular person. She's consistantly late on her bills, late on rent, gives the number out to people she meets in bars, and forgets to pay her credit card. We've never talked to her, but have canceled accounts, told people she died tragically, told them to just drop by her house (if they have her address) and otherwise made it clear that we are not and have never been this person. We tried being nice years ago and were able to track her down and message her, and she just gave excuses but continued with her bad habits. It's like having a roommate, but a quiet one that never does chores, never makes a mess, but never pays the bills or contributes.
If it's gmail, it might not be her fault. I get emails meant for addresses ALMOST identical to mine. Like no space between words vs an underline or a dot. It seems gmail automatically sends them to the wrong address although in theory it shouldn't happen.
@@TheWorldThroughMyEyes I didn't know that. I hope those emails that never made it to me, for whatever reason, didn't annoy anyone else too much. Sorry if it did Random Innocent Person! Let me know and I'll stop them!
I also get emails for someone who's around my age and should know better. I've had flight details, hotel bookings and insurance documents and invoices for new beds and god knows what else sent to me. Also whatsapped her and she was very sorry and gave me an email address (completely different btw) to forward the emails to; so I did that for a while and then I started to feel like a secretary and just stopped. Still getting emails for her to this day though... 🙄
Hell I have an idiot somewhere in Quebec that doesn’t know her cellphone number because I have gotten so many calls inquiring about my apartment for rent. Mind you I don’t have an apartment to rent though wish I could have that revenue stream. This has been going on for over 8 months.
My daughter is autistic. She has trouble with some thing's. But she knows better with plenty. She does. Plain and simple. The listening and follow through isn't always promising,but she knows when you speak to her after that she knew what she was doing and if she was or was not supposed to be doing that. If they are functional enough to be in the whole class and not entirely separated there's a lot more knowledge then not there. And exactly adults can be sooo lazy with other people's kids. Sucks! Love your videos ❤️
I can do you one better, a lady once came through with 5 different gift cards that had nothing on any of them. She complained to me that someone just gave them to her for the holiday season....
My moms ex husband has an autistic son. They raised him as if he was normal and never punished him because “he didn’t know better.” (Mind you, he’s an adult now and we met 7 years ago and he was an adult then too.) My mom would try and kindly tell him what is appropriate and what isn’t, only for him to cry to him mom, his mom yell at his dad, and his dad to yell at my mom. He grew up HITTING his sisters and still did so when he reached adulthood because no one taught him he shouldn’t, and barely stopped when he was terrified of the fact that the police would be called on him if he hit his child siblings again. He’s not a perv in any way, but he would always touch people and it made us uncomfortable. He had no boundaries for personal space AT ALL. I have nothing against him and he can be a very kind individual, But thanks to how his parents raised him, they have set him up for failure and it’s sad to see him face a world he was never prepared for in the first place. He was taught his whole life that he was SUPPOSED to go on a mission, for example, only for the organizers to tell him that he was honorably excused due to his disabilities being a major problem and knowing he couldn’t handle going to a completely different area with very little contact to his family (which is his lifeline). He was devastated and blamed himself thinking he wasn’t good enough, and his parents didn’t comfort him, they just told him “keep trying. You WILL go on a mission. They’ll see.” So finally the organizers gave in and gave him the simplest of missions where he basically worked at a library in the heart of the program. And even then, his family broke the rules for him by visiting him and getting him stuff, even though it was prohibited. It was awful to see. I can only hope he’s able to figure life out, but I know it’s been hard and confusing for him enough so far thanks to his parents. He’s got a very long ways to go.
the pettiest thing I did after 15 years of marriage: I took the DVDs and left the DVD player. I took the Sofa and lounge chair and left the coffee table. I took the TV and left the TV cabinet.
That mom saying her autistic daughter”doesn’t know any better” is so upsetting to me because she’s downplaying her daughters intellectual knowledge. My nieces have autism and while they may have trouble with social ques at times they are super stinkin smart. While that girls stealing her classmates lunch wasn’t appropriate I still feel sorry for her being raised by mom like that:((
5:30 Autistic people are just as capable of knowing right from wrong as non-autistic kids. I have never heard anyone claim that Stealing is a symptom of Autism.
I work at a school. We have a culinary program so we serve lunches cooked and served by the students. We also invite other schools and offices to come and buy their lunch. Once a lady from another location came and she was awful. She held up the line being on the phone getting a few lunches. Normally that’s fine…she’s helping support our program, BUT she was nasty to the students and the program instructor while in line. Complaining about the food and how slow they were when it was her fault because she’s on the phone and not being clear on what she wanted. The instructor was a little frustrated but he puts in a good act of customer service. He looked to me and told me he could help me while the others were getting the lady’s lunches together. While getting my food I overheard her say how excited she was for dessert…I got to the dessert and there was one cake left…did I want the cake? No. Did I buy the cake? You bet. Since it was close to closing time there wouldn’t be anymore…the cake was delicious. 😈
Where we worked, one of the guys kept noticing that food was missing out of his sack dinners. Finally, he got tired of it, and created a pay back. He made brownies but put a bit of horse dewormer in them. When our group got to go to dinner, he noticed that his sack had been messed with and that the brownies were missing. We couldn't wait to get back from break and just went back early. When we got to go back on the phones, we were standing up (we worked for a telemarketing company, and we could stand to stretch) every once in a while. We heard a ruckus on one part of the calling floor and saw someone, not running, but tearing for the bathroom. We had a very hard time not laughing and exposing the truth. This happened several times and soon the person was sent home. Then learned that they ride the bus to work. By this time in the evening, the buses run once an hour. We didn't have a bus center yet and the stores were closed at this time in the evening. This person had to stay at work, (clocked out) and in the bathroom until it was time to catch the bus. Needless to say, this person didn't put 2 and 2 together. Food went missing again and our friend repeated the dewormer. Repeat everything again. Finally, the third time food went missing, our friend put a note on the door that said,"To the person stealing my food, If you steal again, you won't know if it's dewormer in the food or not. You haven't put 2 and 2 together about why you were having rip roaring diarrhea. So think before you steal food again, from anybody, because they know my secret and said that they will do it also. I said I would buy them the dewormer to support them. Yours truly, the brownie owner." Seems food never went missing again.
I'm autistic, (Have Aspergers) and I have a difficult time understanding social cues/situations/nicities/ and even rules to an extent. When I did something wrong, people had no qualms disciplining me. I've never done something quite this overt, but I can say that talking to people has gotten a lot easier for me. Autistic people have a spectrum of differences, yes, but they are still human. It may take a different method to teach them certain things, but it CAN BE DONE!! Lazy parents, no respect.
Tbh the email one is a necessary petty 😅 Irene is very lucky the email owner was not actually malicious. She is prime target for getting her identity stolen or something lol.
"Gay people don't really affect you" - THIS. Other people's sexualities only have to do with you if you're getting inside each other's pants. Thank you for good common sense, Charlotte
In elementary school my best friend had spin bifida with full leg braces & often used a wheelchair. She never did homework but was always passed by the teachers who felt sorry for her. Fast forward a few years the cute disabled girl is now a bratty teenager who teachers no longer felt so sorry for her. She failed senior year and didn’t graduate. The moral of the story is you aren’t helping a person by giving them a free pass to behave badly/steal lunches or passing them out of pity. She ended up living off of the state with 30 cats. P.S. I stopped being friends with her when I was 16 because when she had a friend call me the night we we’re supposed to go to a concert to say she no longer wanted ti be friends because I was too depressing after my dad died so I’m not exaggerating when I said she became a bratty teen.
I had the same problem as the second to last story! Some woman named Verity kept on giving out my phone number instead of her own for months and months and months! I had so many called from mortgage advisors, estate agents and insurance brokers and when I answered one these phone calls and let them know that she had given them the wrong number they said they email address she's given them didn't exist! The calls have stopped now but some people just shouldn't be allowed access to technology
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions. You always make me smile. I have been watching your videos for 2 months and I love your points of view. I am not gay, but I do have a sibling that is. I know some people are not ok with that, but nobody is perfect. They needs their flaws pointed out and let others live.
Just have to give a huge shoutout to Charlotte Dobre and her team for being so nice about correcting my order, just makes me love Charlotte more and proves that she truly cares about her followers and the quality of her products. I don’t have other social media to post this on but wanted to make sure everyone knows she truly is a great human and it’s not just a show for her videos ❤

Oh I love to hear that!! Charlotte is the best!
My son is autistic and I had to explain him the concept of "personal belongings ". And he totally got it. You teach you child social rules, for as long as it'll take for them to get it. Period.
Well said. Those parents make it fully clear that they don’t understand Autism at all. Probably donate a lot of money to Auti$m $peaks.
Not every kid will it's a wide spectrum. But at the end of the day if she can't follow the rules she shouldn't be unsupervised or they need to make accommodations to protect the other students.
I worked with to kids in the autistic spectrum and both got this right. One of them wouldn't even touch food from other people. But like the other user said, if the kid is not in the wide spectrum, it could be also non-verbal then these kids, usually, are never unsupervised.
@Amit kumar stop talking out of your ass. An Autistic kid is very much capable of being a bully, just like every other kid.
I'm not even gonna reply to any other part of your comment because you clearly don't know or understand anything about the situation or how autism effects people.
@Amit kumar clearly you misunderstood. Apologies for that. No, never said and never meant an autistic child is a bully...it surprises me that the message was delivered that way. It is just that kids, for example non verbal are mostly supervised. That's a fact, no something make up. And supervised primarily to protect them. Have a great day and before going judgemental on something, please ask first.
As so.eone who is on the spectrum, and worked with autistic children most of my adult life, this is insane. That is a bad mom and setting her kid up for failure. That's more mean than holding her accountable and having reprocussions for actions.
Big this. That girl likely has the full capability to know what she’s doing is not ok but if there’s no consequences why stop? That attitude loses friends early on so by high school she probably doesn’t have many so she’s not worried about her peers opinions either. The mom has guaranteed her daughter will be unable to function in society without serious intervention as an adult.
@@chelscara the big thing is social rules. Yeah, it's annoying that we don't understand them... but you don't have to understand the full rule to know that you're breaking it. You're absolutely right. She will have grown up not knowing how to act around people, or treat friends, or even understand that sharing food isn't always okay. Like this is doing her no favors.
Came here to say the same thing! I can say as a child I stole food, but all it took was one person asking me not to to make me stop! That and a talking to from my mom. That’s what really did it, but I think the point still stands. HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM (autism in general but the stories I see always seem to be high functioning) IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO BE A JERK!!!
100% Agreed Erika.
This. I have a now adult son that is on the spectrum...you NEED to hold them accountable. if you don't, they won't learn. using Autism as an excuse to not teach a child is neglect.
I love the manager that got all the other managers to pretend to be gay just to be petty because of her stupidity 😂👏
That's some major good allies stuff right there. We need more of those allies!
I love who everyone was 100% 9n board with that too. Like, the petty revenge was born out of a single stupid comment, but flourished into a wave of never-ending petty revenge.
😙👌 Beautiful.
That isn't just stupidity. That's an evil, vile person. Even someone who isn't that smart doesn't have to treat other people that way.
Just got off the phone with one of my Best friends who is gay and LMAO as a Big Husky contractor I would fake it to Defend a Friend just to F with that Idiot lady.
I firmly believe that anyone that works in retail after pandemic is a god damn saint. And any "karen" that treats them badly deserves karma just like this.
As someone who is autistic, my parents held me accountable for all of my actions, autism or not. They never let it become a crutch for me. I'm glad they taught me actions and consequences.
I suspect that that was the opposite case for that kid’s behavior - the mom probably uses it as an excuse to get away with bad behavior and to not be accountable for anything. The mom sounds really lazy and uninvolved, and just cannot be bothered. She has also taught her kid to use it as excuse, even though they *know* what they’re doing is wrong.
@@sueh2225was about to say that + the crutch rhetoric is toxic and harmful
The gay story was the best 😂 those managers that all worked together are great. Loved that story
Awesome!
I don’t believe that all that actually happened at all. It’s still an entertaining story though lol
@@Erika-us2ws Have you ever worked in a grocery store or any retail store? Shit like this DOES happen, especially in certain parts of the world. Like the south. Or Utah. Or any ultra-religious, overly-conservative corner of the world. It definitely happens.
@@giggle_snort as someone who used to be a conservative Christian (in the South), I have my doubts to the validity of the story as well. While they do have strong feelings about gays, I've never known anyone who believes that something was "tainted" just by touch.
@@eiremerald there was someone who was afraid of receiving a knee cap from a gay or lesbian, and they didn't even know that the doctors fabricate kneecap replacements
Autistic people are not necessarily intellectually challenged. Infact they can be very intelligent and high achievers. So for the mother to allow her to eat other people's lunch saying she doesn't know better is BS logic. Sure it is difficult to raise a child with ASD, but that doesn't mean you allow everything they do.
I was just saying the same thing. I know someone who is on the spectrum and now is a successful artist and the other has a well known channel here on UA-cam. Being on the spectrum means their brains work differently and they can see things that our brains cannot.
I mean,I have known people in the spectrum who were dual-diagnosis with developmental disorders....but even in those cases, there need to be some guidelines and appropriate ramifications. At the very least, YES, locks on the lockers!
They just need to be taught and learn what they can and can’t do. You don’t just stand there and let them run amok doing whatever they want and getting away with everything. It’s a failure on the parent and the teacher and anybody else the kids tried to get help from with the situation. You just need someone to explain things to them in ways they’ll understand
Exactly! Anyone (parents or not) with or without knowledge or experience should not say: “But they don’t know what is right and wrong. They have this….” Is just plain ignorant. I had a fellow student in the High School program as me get away with everything. Whether the student is autistic, has a learning difference or not they need to learn accountability. And I don’t think Charlotte gets that.
If you can't make sure you don't harm others (this includes stealing things they need) you shouldn't be unsupervised, sad as that may be.
A handicap is never an excuse. It can be an explanation, but there's a big difference between those two.
(I'm Autistic myself)
As the mother of a well-behaved autistic teen son I'd like to say that even when he doesn't understand why he can't do something he understands there are consequences... It's actually important to put your 🦶 down & maintain rules
👏👏👏
Agree being a mom of a autistic kid. I am the same. She needs to know that stuff like that just is not okay. Her autism isn’t a excuse to just do what she wants and be disrespectful. Yes still talking about my own kid
One of my cousins children is very non verbal autistic and he definitely understands what is right and wrong. Hes about 38 maybe 39 and a few years ago a new school/daycare/ adult home place gave him an iPad with several different programs and by golly hes so much smarter than you'd think by just looking and being around him. I mean I knew he was in there and knew that he had rules but he also knew I was the cousin who saved him his own slice of blueberry pie at the family reunions as it was his favorite
The reunion after he got the iPad he ran all over and would hand the iPad to people telling us how much he appreciated how we, as family treat him with kindness and love. I only see him a few times a year but im his pie cousin. Thats what he calls me. We were kinda shocked(even his mother) that not only did he figure out the iPad programs in days that he could read and spell a bit.
It has to be hard for him to have all that going on and not be able to communicate to us.
I still try to have blueberry pie for him but he told me he likes my raspberry pie too. I even got a one armed hug before he ran off to show his iPad to another family member. And I know how hard physical contact is for him so to get a hug made my whole day. I teared up a little. Still do thinking about it. It has made me change how I think about others with disabilities for sure having family with them. Im very loud and I know for sure that can be off-putting for sound sensitivity so I do try not to be the loudest in the room lol
Exactly.... I have an autistic nephew and his parents always walked on egg shells around him and all it did was re-enforce bad habits and incorrect behaviour..... He literally made my son cry when he threw my sons lego dinasour that he took hours building over a wall and a car drove over it...... And can you guess who got scolded.... Yes, I did because I simply pointed out that what he did was wrong..... By not making him accountable to a lesser degree we're basically saying that he does not have enough intellect to differentiate between right and wrong..... And THAT is an insult to his intelligence.....
Thank you. I cannot imagine your struggle yet with any kid a parent can teach them consequences gently and kindly. I have difficulties and had no parent to help, your child is so blessed to have such a great mum!!
As someone on the spectrum, we're not STUPID! We do know better! We can be taught things, we just don't always understand things like other people. I have issues with picking up on certain social cues until someone tells me. I still need to be reminded at times but Not often.
See this is the thing, my friends brother who was the same age as me, who attended a special school, the autistic children that attended my own school which their where a good few, even my own cousin. Like people acting like Autism is like fully alien and allowing bad behavior because “it’s just the way, they are” feels like a failing of Austin children.
Like it’s an adults excuse to not try and teach. And probably would save an Autistic child some ostracization and allow them to fit in with their peers a bit more.
Like they may have hard a hard time managing emotions and understanding social cues and how to function and communicate with neurotypical children, but like autistic children are still children and need to be taught right from wrong.
It’s sad to see kids being failed like that.
I too am autistic and do know better than to steal food
@@Swifly_Norman Oh I do too. The thing is though, some parents either don't teach their kids it's wrong or ENCOURAGE their kids to steal, of their own the spectrum because then they get to use the same excuse the mom of that girl did "They don't know that's bad/wrong" which usually means they were never TAUGHT it was wrong. When I was young I'd try to grab food and eat it too cause I was hungry and didn't know it was bad to steal, until someone explained it to me. The girl in the story was likely never told it was bad to do that (like most of us) OR she was encouraged to do it because she could get away with it because of her autism. Which is worse. A guy at a grocery store I used to work at was very special needs but he used it to his advantage to do bad stuff. The store wouldn't fire him because they didn't wanna be sued for "Firing a mentally handicapped person" because of how much people preach about equal opportunity for people on the spectrum to get regular jobs like regular people. He knew they wouldn't fire him (This company cared so much about their reputation) so he'd sexually harass women. Didn't matter if they were customers or employees. He even groped one of my friends who worked in the bakery! She reported him but they didn't do anything to him because "He didn't know any better" (He did). He'd even bring in p*rn magazines or swimsuit magazines and read them on his lunch break in the deli dining room and LEAVE THEM ON THE TABLE. Where customers could see them. It was horrible knowing someone else on the spectrum would use their disability to get away with that crap but some people do cause they KNOW they don't get in trouble.
Amen to that! That mom was/is failing her child!
Bad parenting is not the kids fault. But yeah, lets just not say anything because they are autistic. How is this helping your kid when they become adults? Lifeskills folks.
I’m a support staff for people with disabilities and unfortunately some people are held down by never being held accountable and are always left to sit while everyone does everything for them. They have the capability to learn so much they just need someone with the capability to help them.
EXACTLY!!
@@Harleysmom2022 absolutely I couldn't think of the word for it at the time but I believe it's what is called a learned helplessness. As you know it can stop the person from not just learning that task at the time but it almost steals their zest for learning and the confidence that's built when we learn and accomplish a new task. It's definitely a form of enabling similar to things that family members of drug addicts. People do these things with good intentions but unfortunately it's not something that's helpful at all.

I'm not sure if you little one likes forts but you can get a big box and she can help you color the outside. ( if that's something you allow cause I know some kids go wild and try to color walls just to warn you about that.) You can cut little doors and windows and play with it. There are alot of diy stuff on pinstrest (I hope I spelled that right.) As long as she's surrounded by love her Christmas will be AMAZING! Kids also love Christmas lights. If your able to go for a drive or a walk to look at a neighborhood with alot of lights. If you google your area there might be specifics. My best advice though is to take lots of pictures and videos.

My stepson is autistic.
He is extremely smart and high functioning.
My MIL, who lives with us 😒, has taken a big part in his upbringing.
She does not allow him to do things for himself, which he ABSOLUTELY should be doing at 15 and is perfectly capable of, despite his father and I pushing back and telling her to stop doing this.
She has hindered his development and it drives us up the wall.
We’ve shown him how to do things, seen him do them and then after a few days it’s completely forgotten because she will literally stop him from doing something and take over the task herself.
It angers me so much… her desperation to feel “needed” is essentially hurting our child.
Using a person’s autism as an excuse to not parent or guide/teach them will ultimately hurt their growth, development and ability to function at their highest level of capability.
It's because the parents allowed the behavior because it was to hard for them to teach proper behavior. Even with a child who is on the spectrum can be taught all sorts of things it just takes more work and they werent willing to put that work into there child
I was dating a guy who wasn't working while I was working 3 jobs, 7 days a week. Gave him the money to pay all the bills while I was at work, but he claimed he "lost the money." So I packed everything in the house that was mine or I paid for & left in less than 8 hrs. Including all the food in the house but I took it all out of the boxes & just left the empty boxes, so there was still an illusion of food in the house when he got there! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha, I think that is the best one in this comment section.
What happened to all the food and all your stuff??? .... Ummm... I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a mom with a 15 year old son on the spectrum, I worked hard to make sure he understood right from wrong, and if he did something wrong there are consequences to that action. This just really gets under my skin.
It doesn't even make sense that someone with autism would be more likely to steal food.
@d This one just sounds lazy. They owe it to their daughter to teach her boundaries even if it takes a different approach than with other kids. I call it abuse.
@d I mean, the story was about stealing. Not teaching a child to not break laws is just setting them up for life long failure. Right now, it's just stealing lunches from other students; but if she learns this is acceptable behavior who knows what she would steal next, or from who? Stealing from someone dangerous could also endanger her life. Also, "consequences" doesn't automatically mean abuse. Boundaries are important.
Agreed! Children will live up or down to what is expected of them
Well, I will let the people who’s kids are so disabled they supposedly couldn’t potty train know what shit parents they are, as soon as I remember their surnames. As a retired school nurse I’m so upset! I had two kids who had to be brought in to be assisted. I just wish I had realized every autistic child had the same level of disability, and those kids just enjoyed soiling themselves. What freaking brats, and garbage parents! They were all just wasting my time, because they are so spoiled and lazy! The absolute NERVE of them all.
As a former retail worker, the lesbian one is definitely my favorite customer/ petty revenge story ever! Although, it really shouldn't even be called petty. It's clearly a public service to everyone who will ever come in contact with that toxic psycho.
My workplace once had a family who made it very clear they were unhappy about being rung up by a black employee. They're lucky I wasn't there, I would've told them to get out after I got over the shock. Definitely makes my top 5 for worst/craziest things to happen at that job in my 7 years there.

I was a freshman in high school. We had a homophobic teacher. There were at least 4 gay students in our class and it was known. One day our teacher started bragging about how him and his friends would beat the gay out of the guys and teach the girls what it was to be a man. I’m pretty sure he was admitting to assault and r***. You could see the discomfort in my classmates face. Mind you he would call me “my girl”. This was also the first time he ever brought up anything about being homophobic. So I raised my hand. He responded with yes my girl. So I told him but sir… I’m GAY😢. What are you gonna do to me? He stared at me in shock. Then yelled at everyone to do their work. This happened like 18 years ago. He stopped teaching in about a month. No one knew why and no one cared to ask.
Yeah that teacher is definitely a predator. Narcissistic, even sociopathic. People who are truly secure with themselves don’t feel the need to project their masculinity on to others, become violent with others, etc
@@sds6303 yes. This is true. Smart people are usually quiet && observant. People who brag are compensating for something they DONT have. If you have it, it's like obvious, && if you don't, you make things up.
as someone who is autistic but didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood, i still was fully able to understand the concept of personal belongings
edit: but even if i didn’t, it would have been the responsibility of the adults around me to help me to understand to show compassion to the others involved as well
Thank you for chiming in. It always means more from the horse's mouth. Love and support to you!
Please remember it is a spectrum. Not all autistic individuals are able to form aforethought. Some may not have the ability to comprehend cause and effect, be toilet trained,or be in a normal school environment and need full time long term care.
@@oknahh omg fs yes! i didn’t mean to try to insinuate that my experience was the only experience. my goal was to more share my experience and my frustration is honestly aimed at the mother and the teacher for how they handled the situation. but i fully see now that it came out and was interpreted differently than i had intended
@@Ellie-ub7qo thank u. You'd be surprised how many in the comments have no idea what the spectrum really is. So many think it's just a delay or awkward shyness bc they are autistic and that's how they are but it's wayyyy different.. some encouraging discipline but with no knowledge of the individuals ability to comprehend:( sad
@@oknahh It is but I'm a autistic person myself and know other people with autism in different spectrums and even if we needed it have to get explained over like a thousand times we all got that stealing from others is bad.
Autistic people are often pretty smart and if they see that they get pampered by others over the fact that they are Autistic will they infact use it, I tried it for a short time but my parents immediately got stricter (Not in a bad way since they are pretty chill) and I stopped that.
I’m bi, omg the one about the lesbian manager is the best story I have EVER heard in my life! I love how all these other managers rallied for this woman and all pretended to be gay to defend her, literally my fave story so far! I can’t stop laughing 😂 love these petty videos!!
When I was in preschool there was an accident that resulted in me being injured and getting diagnosed with PTSD. The mother of the kid who caused the accident never apologised or acknowledged what had happened, which really bothered my mum. So when this mother went to get her car serviced at my mum's place of work, one of the mechanics bought some fish sauce from the supermarket across the street and poured it into some part of the air conditioning so that when she turned it on her car would smell of fish. I think it was an appropriate response.
Sour milk would have been a good touch too. I agree, well played! 😂
Just want to say I'm so sorry that happened to you! That had to be incredibly difficult to deal with at such a young age. I have PTSD from an incident when I was 18, but I can't imagine having it since preschool.
I looooove this 10 stars
The first one really made me laugh out loud. Spoons, can labels and shoelaces. Funny as hell. Actually this was the best petty collection, Charlotte. Love it.
That manager deserves an award, she got the whole chain of stores in on it!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have an autistic little brother. Such condition is not an excuse to be bad. They still can learn things. Like, we taught our lil bro to be nice to other people and be helpful. He is just adorable when he sweeps the floor with the broom, helping around when we clean. Or he even just gives us hugs out of the blue.
I have two brothers who are autistic. They would never ever steal other people's food! My parents would never let them behave however just because of their neurodiversity. They are great guys today. Its all about helping them reach their potential and be their best selves.
I worked 3rd shift and would often work through my lunch break to meet deadlines. 1st and 2nd shifts would do whatever was easiest knowing if certain jobs didn't get finished would only look bad on me. I really didn't have a problem with this because I loved the OT. I would bring food into work for the week, since going out or ordering in wasn't an option. By Wednesday or Thursday all my food would be gone! I considered telling management but I knew they'd just tell me to work it out. I LOADED everything with powerful laxatives the next week and waited. I got called into work early the next day. I thought it was to be fired, but the boss just said the majority of both 1st and 2nd shifts called in sick and they desperately needed help. I worked almost 36 hours straight to pound out all the deadlines. Everyone who ate my food knew it was me but couldn't say anything without incriminating themselves. The boss was well aware of this but didn't say a word to anyone. At the monthly meeting the boss congratulated me on an outstanding job whilst everyone else was sick. Then he presented me with a $200 Visa gift card to spend on whatever I wanted. He also made me Assistant Manager with the power to Fire people. I never heard a word about the incident.
My favourite petty story was my mom's. In the 60s when 'bite sized' candy bars were getting popular, my gramma used to put one in my mom and aunt's lunch when they were in elementary school. There were two boys that were relentless bullies and would steal the goodies out of other kids lunches, specifically my mom's and aunt's. After a couple months of gramma (who was one feisty lady) calling out the teacher and principal, who did nothing, said said eff it. She ironed open the wrappers and took a hot knife to cut a groove into the chocolate and poured cayenne pepper into it. Sealed up the chocolate with the hot knife, iron closed the wrappers, and sent them on their way. My mom said she never saw the outcome when those bars disappeared but a couple weeks later, the teacher had been using chocolate snack bars as rewards for good behaviour and answering. One of those boys won a snickers and my mom saw him quietly throw the candy bar away 😂
Same boys would practice their karate moves on the girls in the schoolyard. My mom was a 'nerd' back then. Skinny bookworm with big glasses. She blossomed in college and became one of the hot girls. She was out at a bar with her bf at that time when someone shouted her name. It was the other boy, and he fell out. Got all excited, kept telling her how good she looked, asked my whitefaced, startled mom if she remembered him!? Well... She told him she did and exactly WHY she remembered him before walking away. She said she continued to have a good night while this guy sat shell shocked and upset at the bar drinking heavily.
Hahaha, my mom did the same thing with one of my chocolate treats that kept getting stolen, it never happened again.
On to part two of your story, one of my acquaintances in school (like 4th - 5th grade) was sometimes nice but could be a real AH to some people, including one girl for reasons unknown. Fast forward to a decade later I ran into him. By coincidence we also ran into that same girl who had turned into a total hottie. He tried to get her phone number and she smiled and said "I don't think so". I know that girl was beaming with that sweet sweet comeuppance when he shuffled away.
@@testfire3000 oh good on her! I’ve had that same kind of justice before and it’s fantastic!
Damn ur grandmas an evil genius😅
I think the label-less canned goods thing is just the perfect amount of petty. It doesn’t damage them too much and you aren’t stealing from them, it’s just an inconvenience at the worst.
Not holding your children accountable for their actions is more hurtful in the long run than just punishing bad behavior.
THIS. If only people would do this, we could stop the massive reproduction of Karens. Male karens included. 🙄
I would NOT recommend simply "punishing" a child, any child but especially an autistic child, for "bad behavior". Obviously stealing other people's lunches is not okay, and this behavior is a problem that needs to be solved. The biggest issue here is *why* this kid is doing this. Others have mentioned impulse control issues, the family withholding food at home, former trauma around food insecurity, etc. Perhaps this child has been allowed to get away with certain behaviors that should have been corrected, to the extent they don't realize it's wrong. Or perhaps she really can't help stealing other people's food, in which case she needs more support and supervision than what she's getting right now.
The lady with the email made me smile SO BIG. WE LOVE THIS FOR HER!!!!
I would do the same thing too
@@marieknight9385 I was just thinking I'd be doing the same before she read the rest if the story. I'm super petty that way.
@@erikarussell1142 what rest?
@@franzessie9697 like when she was saying the lady would ignore her, and before she told us what the lady did. I was thinking I'd be canceling all kinds of things.
@@erikarussell1142 ohhhh, got it
The school lunch story reminded me of a situation very similar that my daughter had at school. She was in special Ed so a number of students had additional needs. One of the girls in my daughters class, targeted my daughter and another student and would take stuff out of their school bags. A particular time for this to happen was during PE when the students belongings would be left in a class room unattended. I spoke to the school countless times and they made countless promises to put things in place for this not to continue. After 5 separate occasions of me attending meetings at the school, the girl struck and and my daughter, after dealing with it the correct way, finally had enough. This last occasion, the student in question had helped herself to something of my daughters that had been given to her by her recently passed grandfather. As a result my daughter lost it and threated to hit the girl and my daughter was excluded as a result. I was so angry that school had failed my daughter so many times and taken no action against the student who was stealing but when my daughter finally confronted the girl, they were so fast to throw her out. So I left with no option, I called the police and reported the thefts. Amazingly my daughters exclusion was over turned and the other student ended up suspended for two weeks. When she returned to school safeguards were finally put in place for the students belongings and we decided not to pursue charges. Years later, I'm still cross that it had to go so far before the school did anything.
Wow, that's b.s. !!!!
Good For you as People MUST be Held Accountable for their Actions, choices and Decisions as it like "Common Sense" has disappeared recently
The school board won't care unless it one of their precious kids, then it's actually taken seriously
I think I would've pressed charges against the school AND the kid. I guess I'm not a great person after all. Ah well. 🤷🏻♀️ That's so infuriating. I'm glad your kid finally got better treatment but ugh. Sorry you both had to go through all that. It's disgusting that the school didn't give a single shit about your kid until the school was threatened with bad PR. Gross. So enraging.
Those meetings are time consuming.
I resonate with the food story because some people used to steal my food. My darlings, I am Indian, and while I don't usually make my food overly hot since I have limited spices and chilies available, this was irritating enough that I spiced my food as my mum would. The people who ate it were dying of stomachaches the next day, while I was perfectly fine. The JOY.
When I was in a small high school people kept getting into my own personal box of tea bags. So I switched it to a nice very smoky Chinese tea I grew up with. Someone might steal one tea bag, but they'd never do it again. And would tell their buddies. So no more problems after that and I got to enjoy my lovely tea in peace.
Personally, I’d make the food just, the most delicious, amazing things… and then go back to regular stuff, so that they can never enjoy it again.
Let them have a taste of perfection, and ruin everything else they’ll ever taste again!!!
@@phastinemoon Love it
😂🤣 I'm surprised at how many ppl have had or are having this problem! WHY do some ppl feel they can just eat other ppl's food?! Wild! But I'd have paid to see their faces after this! Lol
I was bullied mercilessly at school. Some years after leaving, I worked in a theatre that hosted various events and inevitably one of the bullies showed up. With his entire family. I recognised him as I took his ticket and said to him, without thinking: "Oh, I remember you! You used to bully me in science lessons!" in front of his entire family. His father made him apologise to me. It's been a good decade since that happened and I still don't know whether I feel guilty for dropping him in it or maliciously pleased.
That manager ally energy is strong and we need more of that.
Agreed
My husband once had a terrible roommate who, when he moved out, took every single last piece of cutlery with him except one because another roommate had used it and it was in his room. Instead of just buying more, for months the remaining roommates and my husband would constantly be shouting, "WHO HAS THE SPOON?"
Thats roommate energy if I ever saw it 🤣
I belly laughed at this! Thank you for sharing 🤣
That's such a man thing. 3 of my brothers lived together at one point. No one wanted to do dishes, so they kept rehashing the same plate and fork for every meal. And then would argue over it. Lol I just threw away their dishes after 3 months of that nasty shit. Lol got them paper crap. I was sick of coming over to a pig stye, and we're close, so I'm not gonna not hang with my siblings.
Hahahaha
Pure gold. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The manager who passed the message on the " tainted goods" is the kind of manager everyone needs!!
I haven't laughed so hard in months
Agreed. I cheered for that manager.
We were married for 14 years,had 3 kids I did almost all the cooking. He left me for another woman. He saw the kids every other weekend and he wanted some recipes. Me feeling petty gave him some recipes leaving out ingredients on purpose so the kids would say that doesn't taste like mom's.
The manager that called to see how the other store “tainted” the clothing deserves a raise! This is S tier petty and I’m so glad to see all the other stores joined in.
Irene knew. Notice how as soon as there were consequences for her actions, she stopped. She may not have comprehended fully, but definitely enough to know that someone was insisting it was not her email and that she couldn’t log into it or receive any emails from anyone whom she’d given that address.
That seems ridiculous to me. I’m in the real estate industry. No way would a mortgage broker cancel an entire loan because some random with an email address told them too. That would be illegal.
No I don't think the mortgage broker canceled at all. I think they mostly stop emailing the address completely since they are giving personal information to a suspicious email address
I had a student who had a lot of food issues, they were legit, stemming from when she was a very young child who went hungry more often than not. Myself and her new parents worked hard to help her feel secure that she had food now and did not need to steal it to ensure she had some. One day she left class to go to the washroom. While she was gone another student came to me and said she had a box of Girl Scout cookies in her backpack to give to someone who bought them after school and they were missing. When my little friend returned from the washroom, I asked her if she knew what happened to the cookies, she said “No Miss, I have no idea what happened to them.” And then she grinned at me… with teeth full of cookies. We started keeping cookie deliveries and extra things in my desk after that… and I kept an even closer eye on the hallway when she left the classroom. I’m very shocked that the school did nothing about this. Regardless of issues a student may have they can’t eat everyone else’s lunch. It is something that can be solved with compassion to all parties involved.
Best comment by far 👍🏻
My grandma in 1920s Austria had her chocolate from her school lunch stolen. To teach the other girl a lesson she replaced the chocolate with goat poo nicely wrapped in the original chocolate paper 😂 Needless to say the girl was no longer a thief.
deserved😂
I have some friends who are autistic, they know better and aren't stupid. My Mom taught learning challenged kids, she said they had trouble learning but they weren't in any way stupid.
Who wouldn't take advantage of people who underestimate them.
This. I was in a classroom with a bunch of young adults who were more or less disabled. For some of them, the class consisted of learning to write their name, for some, learning basic life skills like cooking for themselves or learning better social skills etc., so wide variety of challenges. Every single one of them were capable of following basic rules, unless they were having a meltdown. Some of those with more severe intellectual challenges needed more repetition than some others but in the end, they did learn.
I remember the teacher saying that many disabled people act like little children because they were treated like little children, and not like adults.
@@Carrot880 exactly! One should treat people as equals regardless of age or situation. I think that's just part of treating people with respect.
im literally autistic, diagnosed when I was in elementary school, and literally this. we're not stupid lmao that mom just didnt want to hold her kid accountable. I have a lot of autistic friends, an autistic fiance, and all of us know not to take things not ours. by the time she's in high school, autistic or not, she needs to understand she cant just... take things
while I *dont* agree with messing with food with intent to trigger an autistic persons sensory needs, theres literally *nothing* else to do in that situation and it's not like it didn't come without warning - she was asked to stop and if someone tells you to stop and you dont, thats no longer a disability problem but a personality problem. stop is a complete sentence
Ohhh... I can understand food sensitivity. I CANNOT eat cooked spinach or greens. It's the mouth-feel. It triggers my gag reflex and what comes after.
My petty story:
Dated a girl for two years, and it wasn't going anywhere. So we mutually figured it was time to part ways. Or so I thought. I'm at work about a week later (a frozen yogurt shop), and about half way through my shift, my now ex, comes walking in with our mutual guy friend. She's giggling and trying to cuddle with him, while he's visibly uncomfortable. She's making a lot of noise about how funny he is and how cute he is, all the while he's giving me apologetic looks. No worries bro. So she finally gets up to the counter and is talking about how great he is to her, how he might be the one, yada yada yada. I thought about making a scene about what she was doing, but instead I kept my cool and waited for her to finish. After she was done bragging about him, I looked at her with the most sincere face I could muster, and said, "I'll be honest, I've been having a real hard time with our break up. But, now that I can see your with someone new, and how happy you are, I think I'm ready to go looking too! I hope I can find someone who makes me happy like (Mutual friend) makes you happy." Watched her mouth hit the floor. She mumbled something about loyalty, went to her table and ate her yogurt in peace.
The more Irene insisted it was her email the more she dug that house and vacation grave...still funny that OP even tried to send a Christmas card including "btw still not your email." They tried so hard, but that was ultimately really beautiful. Hope all those people had recorded calls too so they could toss in Irene's face her insistence it was her email.
What I wanted to know with that whole story is why couldn't this dude at least help her figure out what her REAL email was?? Obviously there must have been one digit or letter off and she had one extremely similar. Why didn't anybody ask her what her email was? Huge red flag that she said she never got any confirmations and this person was getting them! How did she even log into her own email to see then?? It just leaves too many open questions to me. 🤷♀️
This is why those verification emails are so important!
@@danielleking262 i find the whole story suspect. Like.. how did she send her a Christmas card? The sender would not have received it.
It would have been posted to a physical address. That said, I am confused by the idea that someone would have been receiving all these mortgage details, and there was no phone number on any of the documents. Surely that would be on there
@@mandywalker3393 he sent to her physical address because he had all of her private info because he keeps getting her emails, lol... I would've tried everything to reach out to her too, but you can't just keep saying over and over "this is MY email" or "you have the wrong email address" Try to help RESOLVE the issue maybe by helping her find out what her real email address is! That's what was bothering me so much.
My brother is autistic. He got diagnosed when he was 14, I think, so quite late. He was raised like he was "normal" and therefore he has basic manners. Sometimes, when kids have a diagnosis like autism, parents tend to be more lenient with stuff they would not be lenient when their kid would not have a diagnosis. Every time someone says something about their child's behaviour, they use the excuse of the child having autism. That's not how it works. Those parents are basically raising their children to be entitled and brats...
I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 31. 14 would have been a lot easier
Yeah, I didn't get diagnosed till I was 57, and I can say 14 would have made my life much easier! That said, I believe that moms of autistic kids get something out of making them dependent on the mom and disabling them more. It has nothing to do with our abilities. My feeling is that the kid was bored stiff and trying to get thrown out of school. Schools are incredibly boring for us because we learn differently, and we get treated like we are idiot savants!
@@RiverWoods111 I'm an English teacher and I often have autistic students in my groups. Could you give me some insight on how to make things more interesting for an autistic student?
@@IngleseconAnna I would love to help teachers to help autistic kids. With English, you have a lot of room to work with your autistic kids. First look at Top-Down learning, so we start at the top of a subject and dive deep down into the most minute details. Also, we love to research! If we are interested in a subject, we will dive deep into the details. If your autistic kids are interested in what you are teaching, they will go home and spend hours researching the subject beyond what you assigned. They will learn it from the inside out. Interest is the key to unlocking our learning and then top-down teaching for us. Find out what your autistic kids are interested in. We all have special interests, and those interests can change over time. Remember we have a single focus, so if you can find ways to tag in their special interests into every subject you are teaching them. They will give you the most amazing work.
I had an American History teacher who assigned a political cartoon, and I am an artist and love drawing cartoons. I went home and in 5 minutes drew the most amazing political cartoon he had ever received from a student during his 20 years of this assignment and commented it was better than most professional political cartoons. It was the only homework assignment I did in the entire year because I was bored stiff. I would print my name on the top of tests and turn the tests in blank, yet I remembered every detail and every fact he had taught us from the beginning of the year.
Unfortunately, society spends so much time working to convince us we are stupid idiots that we don't even realize that we are the top .15% of intelligence. But you only get high IQ or high social skills, but not both. Neurotypicals make up 64% of the IQ bell curve which is average IQ but have great social skills. There are reasons for this! Because of top-down learning and single focus, we burn neuropathways especially deep and remember everything ever told to us.
Many of us think in pictures, so our brain simply takes pictures of everything you write on the board, and in every book. Every test I ever took was an open book because I could flip through a book and memorize it. I turn everything anybody says to me into video and can replay it at any time in the future years later. I have accused people of lying because they changed one minor detail, but because they were Neurotypical they don't remember things as well, and I have the social skills about one. I must admit that I cut a lot of classes in High School because teachers moved too slow. I had an English teacher spend 3 weeks on Julius Caeser, and after a day or 2 I couldn't take the boredom anymore. I cut class for the next 3 weeks, then read the entire story in an hour or less and then took the test the next day and got the highest score. I blew the curve in college continually and graduated with a 4.0 because I was interested in what I was studying. I caused an entire poly science class to fail because I got a perfect score on every test and the professor graded on a curve with no homework and only five tests with three questions.
Other autistics think spatially, and they will understand math with no teaching. They are also incredible musicians. I need to study more into this type of learning to understand it better. Although I played five different instruments by the age of twelve, I couldn't read music. It didn't make sense to my head because I thought in pictures. Dang, I wrote a lot here, but neuropsychology and how the autistic brain works in one of my special interests. I have the IQ of Albert Einstein, so I needed to be challenged in school. If your autistic kids are not doing their work find out if they are bored. Let them know it is okay to be bored, and you just want to help them to not be bored.
I can only dream of what my life could have been like if I had understood how my brain worked at 14. Lots of people aren't getting a diagnosis until their 30s or 40s these days for all types of ND issues.
All Irene had to do was send an email to the vendors so they could confirm her email address.
She was too dumb or stubborn.
Most places, especially those that do business like that, require a confirmation that pings to your phone so they can verify everything, two factor authentication, for this very reason. They also may send a confirmation to the email and if it isn’t confirmed they have to remove it. This isn’t an American thing, just an Internet business thing.
They also don’t email medical information without sending links for a sign in. Generally your social/birthday. Also you’re telling me she has been purchasing a home, only now noticed the process wasn’t moving forward, they literally call you and say it’s being sent…
5:25 I am not blaming the girl (although being autistic doesn't always mean that you don't know wrong from right, especially once it's been explained), it's the mother and school that should have found a solution for this!! They dismissed the issue, they are responsible for the escalation. The others were only kids, too, they had no power than to do what they did.
I'm autistic, though on the spectrum with low support needs. But a child, I had hard time understanding social contexts and cues, and the proper manners I need to conduct at school. My parents taught me how, though. They always held me accountable if I did something wrong. Just because I'm autistic doesn't mean I could be rude and inconvenience others and just get away with things 🤷🏻♀️ the adults have to step up
As a mother of a high functioning autistic kiddo, I treat my son the same way as my non autistic daughter. He gets introuble when he's bad and gets told why what he did was wrong and not to do it anymore and he understands. Kids on the spectrum are not dumb nor do they not understand right from wrong. Like my son they just need to have things explained to them a Lil differently sometimes for them to understand. So the school and mom making excuses and doing nothing to write the wrong are setting the kid up for failure and will probably have troubles functioning in society.
Exactly
As a 20 year old person with autism, i have to fully agree with your statement. My mother spend a little bit more time with me than she did with my non autistic sister when we were younger and after i grew up a bit she punished me when i did bad things just like she did with my sister. For example, she just grounds me for a week whenever i misbehaved (I was a wild child, and we got into a lot of fights over almost nothing.. basically what alot of teenagers do)
note to anyone who got ideas from the last story in Canada ( I’m not sure about USA) it is illegal to share someone’s contact information like that without their permission… just be careful because your pettiness may back fire 😂
That email story about the person getting another person's email stuff reminded me of something my Mom told me.
My mother told me that back when she was working for the government, now her name was relatively common, it's also unisex, meaning a number of emails would often start off with "Mr. Lastname" because those who would send these emails would think my mother was a man, only to later be shocked to find that she was a woman when meeting in person.
However, she would often get emails involving things that shouldn't be connected to her work. Emails involving crime scene photos, witness statements and police reports. She realized pretty quickly that these emails were for a detective on the police force who just so happened to have the same name as her, first and last.
My mother would repeatedly have to reply back that this was not the detective's email and that it was the wrong one, but it kept happening no matter what she tried. She would never look at the images, only glance at the first line of text to know if it was actually something for her or for the detective.
That is until it suddenly stopped one day and she received one last email from the detective in question, apologies for putting my mother through this for a number of years and not to worry about getting such emails anymore because he had retired.
I appreciate how you acknowledge accountability and remain incredibly kind about disabled people. As an autsitic person who--growing up--genuinely did not know better in a lot of situations, kindness and accountability are the best way to go about it.
My ex husband and I are huge Hamilton fans, like he listened to the soundtrack all the time. Well, he stole money from family and was abusive to me the entire marriage and had several affairs… while he was at work I packed up my stuff and left (even tho it was my house I knew he wouldn’t leave and I’d have to have him evicted). The letter I left him quoted lyrics from “Burn” which Eliza Hamilton sings after Hamilton has his affair. “I’m erasing myself from the narrative..” I used several lines of the song and left it playing on the Alexa for when he got home. I get satisfaction knowing that he will never be able to listen that song and not think of that letter and of me. Not super petty but when I think of it I can’t help but smile. (Guy was a narcissistic sociopath and pathological liar… worst 5yrs of my life).
That was actually brilliant 👏 👌 chef's kiss levels of magnificent.
So glad you're out of his life and abuse! That's the ultimate revenge on a narcissist
That’s pretty simple but powerful and poetic
OMG! That's so amazing! I wish I could do that! I can't wait til I can afford to leave! I'm unfortunately in the same boat. Over 15yrs trapped in an abusive marriage and I now have severe health issues due to so much long term trauma! I'd leave but all the shelters are full, I don't have the income to support myself, and I don't have family or friends to lean on.
Congratulations! You are a rare person, the victim almost never leaves the narcissist. You’re a total badass, and I want to be you if I ever grow up.
I completely buy that Irene had no idea that she was giving the wrong email address. I recently had to spend 3 hours on the phone with my mother trying to explain that Spectrum didn't sign her out of Facebook.
This cracked me up! Because it reminds me of my mom
I think the truly pettiest thing I've ever done was the result of an incident at a Hardees. My parents and I had been in the middle of a long, busy day of errands, and we decided to just eat some fast food in the restaurant, because it was so hot outside that you wouldn't want to picnic. Just as we finished eating, a convertible pulled in with a pair of teenage girls in it, and as my mom was throwing away our things and putting the trays away, I held the door open for the girls, as which point they literally pushed THROUGH me and told me to 'stay clear you f**king fat fag" before going off to order at the counter. I just stood there, stunned, then told my mom and dad that I really quick needed to use the restroom. At this point I proceeded to retrieve my cup from the trash, fill it completely with ice and full fat Coke, and as I was leaving to return to my parent's vehicle, dumped the entire thing right across the seats of the convertible. No regrets.
LMAO!!!!! A hot day with sticky, syrupy Coke all over the seats!! Priceless!!!
I thought you were gonna say you went in the restroom and filled the cup with pee. But okay, Coke is fine too. 😂
What a satisfying read! I full out snickered for a good long while and reread your story two more times just because. 🏆🥇👏😈
@@canuke Yes, may my pettiness bring joy to all my petty brethren. haha
Here’s hoping their vents were infested with lots o’ ants. Fire ants.
Yo that “tainted” merchandise petty was epic! Props to that whole line of stores! 😂😂
To be honest, the Irene-email-saga could've been solved very quickly by just blocking the e-mailadresses from the travel agency etc. I mean, it's funny as hell but also a lot of work to reply all the time. I'd reply in the first week as it can be a honest mistake and then just blocking all of the incoming emails. Or maybe go to Venice myself :P
the one about the manager, customer and the "tainted goods" was just GOLD!!! (the second story)
That is a perfect example of how you handle stupid.
Lol homophobes are hilarious. They seriously believe if they outlaw being gay and burn us at the stake that’ll stop them from having constant gay fantasies.
I laughed so hard at that one, saw where it was going about halfway 😂
The lunch one got me laughing. I would have said in a condescending voice after they accuse of bullying with food "sorry I didn't know better"
My daughter was non verbal when first diagnosed with autism.
I still taught her right from wrong. After years of therapy and being taught at home she decided she wanted to go to high-school.
Well there was another kid. His mom was the type that he could do whatever zero consequences.
One meeting with the mom and school.
Mom said this is his first year in a real school.
My wife said "same for our daughter "
Our daughter at the time was in transition from MTF.
The kid would chase her, destroy projects and then she made friends with a big kid.
Problem solved
Years ago, I was working at Target as a cashier. This was before gay marriage was legal and it was a big deal that Target's health insurance allowed domestic partners. One day I was checking this woman out and she was saying a bunch of homophobic crap about the insurance stuff. She bought close to $500 worth of stuff. As I was handing her the receipt, I said "Thank you for helping pay for my gf's health insurance"! She gave me a nasty look and walked off to complain. All the manager said was "Yeah I guess you did help pay her health insurance".
I had an Irene… it wasn’t my email, it was my actual phone number. He like disconnected his phone and dipped on his family. I was the next person to get his number recycled . Yayy!! I had to explain to his son why “I” abandoned him, and why I would not be at their aunts funeral, because I was, in fact, not his father. Job offers etc etc. it was horrible. His doctor‘s office would call to confirm his appointment and I would explain that like this wasn’t his number anymore. I emailed him because my number was still attached to his website and explained and he basically said it was out of his hands lol.
I’ve had my phone number for over a decade and I’ve been receiving calls from all kinds of different medical insurance people or other companies looking for a lady named Diana. I have no clue who this lady is or why she keeps giving my number to people especially since it couldn’t possibly be a case of she used to have this phone number when I’ve had it for so long and the calls only started about 3 years ago. I don’t know if maybe her number is one off from mine or something of that nature, but it’s absolutely insane.
Wow!!
Well, if it's "out of his hands", then you can do with his reputation attached to that website as you please.
I so much love the second story from the store manager. So wholesome and petty at the same time.
3:15 omg I've not laughed so hard in al this week, Bravo to that manager and the others for playing along!
That mom in the girl who steals lunch story better be glad that her child wasn’t allergic to anything they had because if I was op’s mom I’d rally all the parents in that class
No kidding!!! It seems like kids are allergic to something these days. It sounds like she either has an insatiable appetite or rummages through the lunches until she finds something she likes. I'm more curious how she can do this and not get caught. Obviously the teacher is also very dismissive and shouldn't be in her position, especially when she's not keeping a better eye on the students.
That’s a good point and I’m sure she would’ve tried to sue the parents or the school if she got sick.
@@WeAllLiveInTheTwilightZone the teacher should have their job revoked or at least be under investigation because that’s not normal behavior for a teacher to not even try to talk to the student or parents involved
@@ashleyt6840 exactly! It would be the child’s fault for packing an allergen and then the kids be traumatized by the situation because nothing was done about it
As a teacher I've had a few Autistic Students, they're not stupid they just communicate different. Each case was unique but never was it "they don't understand" it was always me needing to find ways to accommodate their needs without it negatively effecting my other students.
Oh girl, I have a story of my petty revenge on my ex. So quick backstory, my ex-husband and I moved up our wedding date so my grandpa that was put on hospice could attend. He passed away a month after our wedding. Six months later I am attending a summer class 3 hours away, would drive out have class for four days, come home, clean, work the weekend days, grocery shop and meal prep for him for the days I was gone. Things felt strained but not sure why, there was just a weird tension between us. Late July, two weeks before my class ends, he stops talking to me after going to a function with my extended family. Again we are married at this point. I dropped my class and came home to figure out what was going on. Needless to say he said he wanted to split up, we were married 8 months. So we split I still not having a clear answer why. He told me it was because I didn't cook and clean enough, and just spent all his money. Legit his words. So we split, and I took everything that was gifted to me and left everything gifted to him from the wedding. I then also took everything I paid for in our apartment, including all of the serving spoons, curtains, bedding, computer, tv, the dog, etc. I got a very disgruntled text saying to bring all that stuff back and I politely replied, 50/50 and left it at that. I then asked for a few items from the dog and he could not find them.🙄 So one day when I knew he was at work, I went to the apt bc I still had a key and looked for the items I need for the dog. I then moved a majority of the DVDs around in their cases and then moved the cases around in his alphabetized collection. I also moved around some items in the kitchen, just enough to think he put it in the wrong place. Along with items in the bedroom and bathroom. The next week he filed for divorce and changed the locks. Also that class I had to drop, he ended up paying for through the divorce proceeding since I didn't have the income. There is much more to this story but this is good for now.
My petty revenge... I was engaged to my fiancee and looking to book tours for vendors for the wedding. He broke up with me when I already booked a tour. His reason was because we weren't being intimate anymore. Even though, I worked, studied for my board exam, cleaned and cooked for him and my roommate. I found out later he was a compulsive liar and unfaithful. So when he went on vacation and stopped talking to me completely. I went to his Muslim parents and told them I can't lie anymore. When I told them we were intimate before marriage, his mom wanted to disown him and destroy his apartment. 😅
I love it when they laugh before telling the story 😂😂😂 I needed this today. Thank you!
It looked fake
I have a cute email mix up. I had made an email address ages ago using my eldest dogs name and his nickname. I used it for the dog stuff (chip reg, dog supply stores etc). I didn't check it often as it was mostly to just collect the emails from these companies and I'd just clear it out every so often. This dog was insane and always up to crazy things. My dog died suddenly and I was heartbroken. I didn't check the email for a few months. When I did I found emails from a supplier to a restaurant. The restaurant name was my dogs name and nickname but plural instead of singular. Nobody must have realised. I wonder how much chaos my crazy pup caused from beyond the grave with this invoice chain. It was the perfect last prank of the ultimate chaotic troublemaker dog! I laughed long and hard!
Awe. So cute. And sad. And funny. It is so good you get to laugh at your pupper even now. Blessings
I used to use my pets' names when filling out contests or other mail-in information-gathering schemes companies use to create mailing lists. That way I could tell which ones were selling information to other companies (hint: it's all of them!).
The funniest one was when "Ben E. Hamster" was given a free membership to the N.R.A., the National Rifle Assoc. I had a pet hamster named Benny. They sent him a patch, a membership card, and a hat! Little Benny loved the hat. He made a nice cozy nest inside of it. 😂
My little boy was in on the joke too. I told him when a telemarketer called and asked for "Mr. Ben Hamster" that I wanted him to pretend to be Benny and talk to the person on the phone in Benny's voice. I would act seriously, tell the caller, "Wait, I'll go see if Ben can talk now" and hand the phone to my son, wink and tell him "It's for Benny!" He would wait for them to say something, then respond with "Squeak? Squeeeak! squeak squeak..." 😂
Too bad I didn't have a video and a speaker phone 25 years ago!
Mine was a German Shepherd and of course his name was Sam Shepherd 😊
I am sorry you lost your dear pup. As a mom of 5 english mastiffs and a frenchie I know what kind of bond there is with your dogs. Especially with the special ones. It was indeed the perfect trouble that your pup could do to make you smile.
Big hugs for you❤️
I used to receive voicemails & texts all the time for a lady named Irene! 🤣 One time I received a voicemail from this lovely women who left an entire recipe during the holiday season. I felt bad that Irene never got that recipe, but I always contacted the numbers to let them know I was not in fact, Irene.
Must be an Irene thing! 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe it was the same Irene?
Irene’s husband finally snapped and yelled at her that she was wrong. Or maybe someone tried telling her that her email was “hacked” and she should just create a new one.
The story of the store manager rallying everyone on to pretend to be gay around this customer is the best thing I ever heard :D
The retail story was quite wholesome. Loving that support 🏳️🌈
Thank you for preparing these videos for us while you are away! We don’t technically need them I guess, but we sure do appreciate it!!
She doesn’t post them for you, she does it to make money. She could not care any less about you 😂
@@kiana5131 haters are gonna hate, but I wonder when they're gonna learn, that being on a well known anti bullying platform and talking negative garbage won't reward them? And we're all very much judging this comment... and now you. Being ugly only shows us who YOU really are.
@@kiana5131 "She could not care any less about you" Then explain Charlotte liking her comment. Either way, it's nice to be polite and say thanks, you could learn something from this.
@kiana technically she wouldn't make money on her videos if it wasn't for us. That's how UA-cam works.
@@katiep3027 no shit Sherlock. Does that make you feel better? That she only cares about you for money? Lol
👌A manager who has your back - Priceless! Congratulations to all of you!
A whole slew of managers and employees that have your back. 🎉❤
Im autistic and oh my god that story pisses me off. Like we're not so stupid that we cannot be held accountable for our actions. Clearly this kid was pretty much given free reign to do whatever she wanted under the guise "she doesnt know better" ugh
More than likely, she had some idea that what she was doing was wrong and just didnt give a frick, because she could get away with it. Whether she fully understood is a different matter.
The parents and the teacher failed these kids who got their lunch stolen and failed the autistic girl by treating her with the worst type of kid gloves without teaching her what boundaries even mean and that there are consequences.
Omg 😂I’m crying that’s hilarious that manager is awesome!!!
For the gift card one, you could get one with the little cardboard piece that usually says who the card is from and the dollar amount and just write an incorrect amount. They'll automatically assume that's what's on it since it's a new card instead of checking the balance.
That person REALLY should have transfer the trip to their name and go to Venice on Irene’s expense! That would have been the best petty ever! 😈
That’s what I was thinking!
And depending on the amount of the trip, you will be charged with grand larceny on your return. Bon voyage!
The one about the wrong email lady resonates with me. I'm struggling with that at the moment. The worst thing about my case? It's a twenty-something year old woman that seems pretty tech savvy (yes, I read her emails, sue me) and she definitely should know better. Got her number from one of her orders and contacted her via whatsapp informing her I was getting endless amounts of crap email that was meant for her - orders that need confirmation, invoices for purchases... Seemed solved, she apologized profusely. Months later had to give her another heads-up, since brand new subscriptions were still popping up in my email, so she was still providing companies with the wrong email - MINE. Again, she apologizes. Guess what? More than year later I still get emails that are meant for her... Including a letter of acceptance for a new job that, honestly, seemed really nice... I hope she knows she got it.
LOL
My spouse gets phone calls (they've had the same number for almost a decade) for a particular person. She's consistantly late on her bills, late on rent, gives the number out to people she meets in bars, and forgets to pay her credit card. We've never talked to her, but have canceled accounts, told people she died tragically, told them to just drop by her house (if they have her address) and otherwise made it clear that we are not and have never been this person. We tried being nice years ago and were able to track her down and message her, and she just gave excuses but continued with her bad habits. It's like having a roommate, but a quiet one that never does chores, never makes a mess, but never pays the bills or contributes.
If it's gmail, it might not be her fault. I get emails meant for addresses ALMOST identical to mine. Like no space between words vs an underline or a dot. It seems gmail automatically sends them to the wrong address although in theory it shouldn't happen.
@@TheWorldThroughMyEyes I didn't know that. I hope those emails that never made it to me, for whatever reason, didn't annoy anyone else too much. Sorry if it did Random Innocent Person! Let me know and I'll stop them!
I also get emails for someone who's around my age and should know better. I've had flight details, hotel bookings and insurance documents and invoices for new beds and god knows what else sent to me. Also whatsapped her and she was very sorry and gave me an email address (completely different btw) to forward the emails to; so I did that for a while and then I started to feel like a secretary and just stopped. Still getting emails for her to this day though... 🙄
Hell I have an idiot somewhere in Quebec that doesn’t know her cellphone number because I have gotten so many calls inquiring about my apartment for rent. Mind you I don’t have an apartment to rent though wish I could have that revenue stream. This has been going on for over 8 months.
My daughter is autistic. She has trouble with some thing's. But she knows better with plenty. She does. Plain and simple. The listening and follow through isn't always promising,but she knows when you speak to her after that she knew what she was doing and if she was or was not supposed to be doing that. If they are functional enough to be in the whole class and not entirely separated there's a lot more knowledge then not there. And exactly adults can be sooo lazy with other people's kids. Sucks! Love your videos ❤️
I can do you one better, a lady once came through with 5 different gift cards that had nothing on any of them. She complained to me that someone just gave them to her for the holiday season....
I could totally see that lady trying to sue those stores…”yes I purchased tainted goods and now I’m gay” 😂😂😂
OMG BRILLIANT!!
The "tainted goods" story made me laugh loudly! 🤣🤣 thank goodness I'm in the car by myself!
My moms ex husband has an autistic son. They raised him as if he was normal and never punished him because “he didn’t know better.” (Mind you, he’s an adult now and we met 7 years ago and he was an adult then too.)
My mom would try and kindly tell him what is appropriate and what isn’t, only for him to cry to him mom, his mom yell at his dad, and his dad to yell at my mom.
He grew up HITTING his sisters and still did so when he reached adulthood because no one taught him he shouldn’t, and barely stopped when he was terrified of the fact that the police would be called on him if he hit his child siblings again.
He’s not a perv in any way, but he would always touch people and it made us uncomfortable. He had no boundaries for personal space AT ALL.
I have nothing against him and he can be a very kind individual,
But thanks to how his parents raised him, they have set him up for failure and it’s sad to see him face a world he was never prepared for in the first place. He was taught his whole life that he was SUPPOSED to go on a mission, for example, only for the organizers to tell him that he was honorably excused due to his disabilities being a major problem and knowing he couldn’t handle going to a completely different area with very little contact to his family (which is his lifeline).
He was devastated and blamed himself thinking he wasn’t good enough, and his parents didn’t comfort him, they just told him “keep trying. You WILL go on a mission. They’ll see.”
So finally the organizers gave in and gave him the simplest of missions where he basically worked at a library in the heart of the program.
And even then, his family broke the rules for him by visiting him and getting him stuff, even though it was prohibited.
It was awful to see. I can only hope he’s able to figure life out, but I know it’s been hard and confusing for him enough so far thanks to his parents. He’s got a very long ways to go.
the pettiest thing I did after 15 years of marriage: I took the DVDs and left the DVD player. I took the Sofa and lounge chair and left the coffee table. I took the TV and left the TV cabinet.
I love the thought of Irene seeing the email "Irene" sent and trying to call Google for the manager 😂
love it all! teacher should have given those students a protected spot, maybe in a teachers cabinet for kids lunches. love the label change idea.
Ok, that gay manager story is the most wholesome story I have ever heard. Well done the other managers!
That mom saying her autistic daughter”doesn’t know any better” is so upsetting to me because she’s downplaying her daughters intellectual knowledge.
My nieces have autism and while they may have trouble with social ques at times they are super stinkin smart.
While that girls stealing her classmates lunch wasn’t appropriate I still feel sorry for her being raised by mom like that:((
Thank you!!! Presume competence not incompetence!
okay that first one- contagious wheezing laughter AND the very definition of Agent of Chaos? Yes and Thank You!
5:30 Autistic people are just as capable of knowing right from wrong as non-autistic kids. I have never heard anyone claim that Stealing is a symptom of Autism.
I work at a school. We have a culinary program so we serve lunches cooked and served by the students. We also invite other schools and offices to come and buy their lunch. Once a lady from another location came and she was awful. She held up the line being on the phone getting a few lunches. Normally that’s fine…she’s helping support our program, BUT she was nasty to the students and the program instructor while in line. Complaining about the food and how slow they were when it was her fault because she’s on the phone and not being clear on what she wanted. The instructor was a little frustrated but he puts in a good act of customer service. He looked to me and told me he could help me while the others were getting the lady’s lunches together. While getting my food I overheard her say how excited she was for dessert…I got to the dessert and there was one cake left…did I want the cake? No. Did I buy the cake? You bet. Since it was close to closing time there wouldn’t be anymore…the cake was delicious. 😈
Thank you Charlotte for brightening my day. My pet bunny died and I’m lost without her. Your videos take me away from my sadness.
The face with "I took ALL of her spoons" cracked me up. The managers banding together was also so freaking hilarious!
Where we worked, one of the guys kept noticing that food was missing out of his sack dinners. Finally, he got tired of it, and created a pay back. He made brownies but put a bit of horse dewormer in them. When our group got to go to dinner, he noticed that his sack had been messed with and that the brownies were missing. We couldn't wait to get back from break and just went back early. When we got to go back on the phones, we were standing up (we worked for a telemarketing company, and we could stand to stretch) every once in a while. We heard a ruckus on one part of the calling floor and saw someone, not running, but tearing for the bathroom. We had a very hard time not laughing and exposing the truth. This happened several times and soon the person was sent home. Then learned that they ride the bus to work. By this time in the evening, the buses run once an hour. We didn't have a bus center yet and the stores were closed at this time in the evening. This person had to stay at work, (clocked out) and in the bathroom until it was time to catch the bus. Needless to say, this person didn't put 2 and 2 together. Food went missing again and our friend repeated the dewormer. Repeat everything again. Finally, the third time food went missing, our friend put a note on the door that said,"To the person stealing my food,
If you steal again, you won't know if it's dewormer in the food or not. You haven't put 2 and 2 together about why you were having rip roaring diarrhea.
So think before you steal food again, from anybody, because they know my secret and said that they will do it also. I said I would buy them the dewormer to support them.
Yours truly, the brownie owner."
Seems food never went missing again.
I'm autistic, (Have Aspergers) and I have a difficult time understanding social cues/situations/nicities/ and even rules to an extent. When I did something wrong, people had no qualms disciplining me. I've never done something quite this overt, but I can say that talking to people has gotten a lot easier for me.
Autistic people have a spectrum of differences, yes, but they are still human. It may take a different method to teach them certain things, but it CAN BE DONE!! Lazy parents, no respect.
Tbh the email one is a necessary petty 😅 Irene is very lucky the email owner was not actually malicious. She is prime target for getting her identity stolen or something lol.
Absolutely
"Gay people don't really affect you" - THIS. Other people's sexualities only have to do with you if you're getting inside each other's pants. Thank you for good common sense, Charlotte
It must be great to work in a place where every can manager has your back? So happy for the girl in the first story
In elementary school my best friend had spin bifida with full leg braces & often used a wheelchair. She never did homework but was always passed by the teachers who felt sorry for her. Fast forward a few years the cute disabled girl is now a bratty teenager who teachers no longer felt so sorry for her. She failed senior year and didn’t graduate. The moral of the story is you aren’t helping a person by giving them a free pass to behave badly/steal lunches or passing them out of pity. She ended up living off of the state with 30 cats. P.S. I stopped being friends with her when I was 16 because when she had a friend call me the night we we’re supposed to go to a concert to say she no longer wanted ti be friends because I was too depressing after my dad died so I’m not exaggerating when I said she became a bratty teen.
I had the same problem as the second to last story! Some woman named Verity kept on giving out my phone number instead of her own for months and months and months! I had so many called from mortgage advisors, estate agents and insurance brokers and when I answered one these phone calls and let them know that she had given them the wrong number they said they email address she's given them didn't exist!
The calls have stopped now but some people just shouldn't be allowed access to technology
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions. You always make me smile. I have been watching your videos for 2 months and I love your points of view.
I am not gay, but I do have a sibling that is. I know some people are not ok with that, but nobody is perfect. They needs their flaws pointed out and let others live.
