I used to be a horseback riding instructor. Had a guy come to me booking an emergency lesson. He was an actor who just got hired to do a tv commercial. He told them he could ride a horse. He'd never been on a horse before. In 3 days I got him to the point where he could at least canter in a straight line without falling off.
Exactly. So-called friends who are comfortable taking advantage of people and purchasing ridiculous things at a restaurant because they know others will be paying for it deserve to be friendless.
Whether you split the bill or not should depend on several factors. If you offered to take them out for dinner, and it is a reasonable price... Compared to the location of where you took them out, and by reasonable, I mean a drink, a meal, and maybe dessert. Anyone else that comes, should pay for their own, if they are old enough to hold a job. There are obviously exceptions to this general guideline, but definitely paying $4,000 for a meal is nowhere a reasonable demand. Instead, they should pay for their own portion of the meal, this includes any food they order, and drinks. Order, and desserts they order.
It wasn't $4k but 10 years ago me and my then best friend went on a two week vacation to NYC for her birthday where her new boyfriend was going to join us after a week. I had only met him once, briefly. Everything was great the first week. I had always wanted to go to NYC and we wanted to see most of the same things but when her boyfriend joined us, it was a disaster. He treated me like garbage and she "didn't see it" and kept making excuses for him, and even when I said they should do something together and I could go do something on my own, (because I figure he probably resented that I was there and probably wanted to do boyfriend/girlfriend stuff with her, which I understood) she insisted that I wasn't a 5th wheel but I totally was because I was at best ignored by both of them and at worst treated like a nuisance by him, but I digress. On the second last day of the trip it was my then friend's birthday and we went to a fancy restaurant she always wanted to visit and then went to a Broadway show. Since it was the second last day, I was low on my budget and I planned to get my friend a souvenir at the show for her birthday, I got the cheapest thing on the menu and a water. Between the two of them they ordered steak, lobster, wine and appetizers, dessert etc. My food came to about $30, theirs were over $250. When the waiter comes with the bill he declares that me and him will split the bill down the middle. I was so shocked I just did it (I was a doormat back then) and I was so upset I really didn't say anything the rest of the night. My, what I later learned was a toxic positive friend was just like, "Awww, thank you for such a wonderful birthday!" and was either blissfully unaware of how unfair that was or chose to ignore it. When she FINALLY realized I was upset and I told her why (I hadn't wanted to say anything because I didn't want to ruin her birthday but she asked and was persistent) she got all pissy and shoved $50 in my face and walked away as though that was the root of my issue. My real issue was how he treated me the whole week and how my feelings were ignored and my solution to let them have their alone time while I did my own thing was rejected and the birthday dinner bill was the straw that broke the camel's back. Even if he said that we should split only her portion of the bill, which would be more reasonable, I still don't think that would be right as he was the boyfriend and they ordered so much between them. Me post-therapy would never let that happen. She married the guy. I was maid of honour at their wedding. They both treated me like crap in subtle but insidious ways. We're not friends anymore.
@@happychaosofthenorth That's awful! How can she honestly blame you for being upset about the bill, even if nothing else was going on? Sorry you lost a friend like that.
I feel like it isn't her financial responsibility but as a human being and as a mother I feel like she could feel out the kid. Not the mom. I have siblings that were conceived while my parents were married . I get the shade about the money part... I'd say umm.. no. But HER DADS INFIDELITY IS THE REASON FOR DIVORCE. Not the kid. The kid was just proof that he was a dog with fleas
She (Beyonce) didn't have a say, wasn't in the room or even considered when her brother was being concieved so it's none of her business and she and her pockets can decide to keep out of it.
I heard about the $4600 birthday dinner bill. It was all over the internet. It's insane, I mean, who invites you to birthday dinner and sticks you with a $500 bill? This is a result of poor communication, assumptions, and entitlement.
The big problem with the fire hydrant thing is that a lot of fires that have multiple casualties nowadays are usually the result of someone thinking, "Oh, fires are rare, so it's fine!" and taking shortcuts with fire safety. Just look at any number of the fire disaster documentaries here on UA-cam. So maybe, like, don't EVER do that. I love your videos Charlotte, and I know it was probably meant as a joke, but there are people out there who really do think that this is a "life hack" to try. I get finding parking spaces can be incredibly frustrating and annoying, but by doing this you are putting peoples' lives at risk.
The fire department will literally break your windows and run the hose through your car if it’s in the way. The city will not pay for damages if you are parked illegally. With the preponderance of security cameras, it can be easily proven that you placed the barrel on the hydrant. The guy in the video isn’t the first one to figure that disguise 😏
@@tastx3142 Yah, that is what I was going to say. The city knows where the fire hydrants are. And they will DESTROY your car without hesitation if they need to access it, and probably still ticket/tow even if there isn't a fire.
@@ladygrndr9424My town literally painted all the fire hydrants to look like celebrities and character, think: John Wayne, Obama, Luke Skywalker, etc. We have a whole walking tour of Every. Single. One. in the downtown. All the locals know where they are now so no one messes with them.
@@LyraPyxisVT the town is very weird and mismanaged, so I've stopped trying to figure out why. If I had to guess, I think it's a bit of desperation trying to liven up the town after having many stores shut down and people moving out over the last 2 decades. What used to be a booming town with many textile and manufacturing plants is becoming a ghost town. It's not fully dead yet, but it will be very soon if things don't change.
Lawn care specialist summoned here. Whilst watching this with my wife. 😂 That is real grass, it more than likely has been fed, watered and cut regularly to make it that lush. 😀
Why can't people just pay for their own meals and drinks? If you can't afford it, don't order it. I follow that rule and I'd be pissed if a friend expected me to pick up the tab for their exorbitant drinking when I didn't drink myself. On the other hand, what I wouldn't give to be just a few tables away listening to the drama unfold. I didn't know I was getting dinner AND a show!
@@cbpd89I think for the most part people do that…I think the issue happens when people order appetizers and things for the table and everyone partakes in eating it but there’s always one or two people who feel like although they aren’t they didn’t order it so they shouldn’t pay. I’ve never had an argument happen I think because we usually talk about things as a group prior and if people have a certain budget and they can’t handle splitting additional appetizers they will just not eat them and we all know not to include them when we split the bill. We also don’t go too crazy too. Like each person will order one appetizer and we tend to eat roughly around the same price point. If me and my friends go to a steak house we all getting steak. So I’ve never had a situation where someone’s total is that much of a difference but if someone complains we just have them pay their share and we shut split it. Idk why people are yelling
I can totally believe that crazy mistress story. My father had a rather extreme midlife crisis and had about 6 mistresses (at the same time) at one point. He eventually died alone overseas somewhere and since my mother was still legally his wife (he refused to divorce her), it was left up to her to make all the arrangements. During that entire emotional mess, most of the mistresses let us be. Except for this one crazy lady. She was constantly harassing my mom, my uncle (my father's brother) and even his former employer, because she could not accept that my father had died practically penniless (the little money he did have tucked away didn't even cover his funeral expenses, his relatives had to chip in just so we could have a basic service). She was convinced he had been some kind of millionaire and that my mom, my brother and I were "being greedy" and keeping all the (non-existent) money to ourselves. I'm not on social media much, so it was through my mom that she demanded from me to "do my duty as [my father's] first-born child" to financially support her as well as the child she claimed my father conceived with her. Because older siblings had to look out for their younger siblings. This was apparently after she failed to extort money from my uncle and my father's former employer.
@ChioGaru oh gosh poor you, so many things to contend with all at once then you get hassled by a nutjob! Nutjobs are best ignored of course. Hope you have a good life going forwards. Blessings.
@@MsHoneyblue No. As far as I know she eventually "gave up" and she stopped bothering us. The only thing (if anything) we hear from her are weird posts she makes on FB on an account she created in her son's name.
Sounds like your dad lied and told her he was a millionaire so she would date him. My ex did the same to me except she said her and her bf had already broken up when we met.
Block her that was her and his upper you have no obligation to that at all. You can't even be sure that that is your brother or sister or whoever the child is. This one was out for a paycheck and got absolutely slighted. Live your life and be happy 😊🤗✌️
Don’t blame the child. The child doesn’t have anything to do with how he was conceived. Too many times kids, who were affair babies, end up being the only ones who suffer because people hate them for even existing. He didn’t choose to be born, especially as an affair baby
Yeah, but people don’t have to be around them either. They tend to remind people of painful things and if someone doesn’t want to be around them then they don’t have to. It’s better for the child any way.
@@LoveK1 I’m not saying that but Charlotte said he is the reason why he is hated by Beyoncé as “he broke up her parents”. I’m saying don’t blame the child, blame the parents only. And what of the affair kid who lost their mother, and the father had to take him in because he was under 16 years of age, but everyone including the father ignored the kid and only gave him basic essentials while the family gets lavish things and crap. He didn’t choose any of that, yet here you are saying it’s ok the family ignores him, right? That it’s better for him? You’re saying the kid could be abused and ignored because his existence hurts other people. Other people’s feels matter much more than the innocent kid who didn’t do anything wrong.
Splitting the bill is insane to me. I’m paying for what I consumed, and if it’s a birthday celebration, I’ll chip in to pay for whomever we are celebrating. Everyone else is on their own. Edit: if it’s my significant other who we are celebrating, I pay for them as a whole. Everyone else is still on their own😁
"That child" did *not* make Beyonce's parents divorce; Beyonce's father's infidelity made her parents divorce. Don't lay the responsibility on the kid.
He was the one married though so more responsibility is on him than on her. However her posts are tacky and dragging Beyonce into it is unfair. The father should support his child. @@axon130
The split bill thing happened to me once and once only.. paid £50 for a glass of diet coke and a salad when i was young and broke.. the next time i got invited to another dinner by the same person, i told them i wasnt really going to pay for everybody elses drinks.. that person had the cheek to get offended and blamed me for not "ENJOYING myself" at the 1st dinner.. We are no longer friends but she taught me to always say No to those invites, and if tricked into one, to leave before everybody starts to order
Sorry for your first time, but fool me once you make a fool out of yourself fool me twice it ain't happening I'm glad you got them out of your life 😊✌️
It used to happen to me until I stopped going to group dinners. As a muslim I don't drink alcohol. It didn't matter to anybody and they made me pay for the wine, shots, etc. and the last time I remember I pointed it out and was considered rude for it since "it''s my own problem" whether I drink or not. Like I said before I stopped going on group dinners and the problem was solved.
Such trashy behaviour! 😩 I also don't drink so whenever these things happen I'll just say out loud, I'm gonna pay for mine and leave you guys to split the rest.
Splitting the bill like that is not at all common where I live or in my social circle at least. I would not pay for someone else's alcohol period since I don't drink and have lost relatives to alcoholism so I have pretty strong feelings on the matter.
This happened to me recently. It was my first time where I had to split the bill and pay for alcohol. I never knew it wasn’t normal and everyone was acting like it was normal. Rest assured I’m never meeting them again, even though I keep getting constant invites. I prefer my one on one friend meets instead
Those “friends” are no loss. I do drink alcohol and I would never expect non-drinkers, or even drinkers, to pay for my drinks. Actually, I usually have just one drink and I don’t want to pay for someone having several, especially if expensive brands.
I also did a little researchand found out that Beyonce's dad was paying this woman $12k a month until Beyonce fired him as her manager for stealing from her. Now he pays her $2,500 a month. So this kids hasn't been going without like the mother tried to make it sound. And Beyonce has pretty much an estranged relationship with her dad because of everything hid did to cause the divorce with her mother, and because he literally stole millions from her, so it really makes no sense in why she would want a relationship with this child, physically or monetarily.
@@jeanams07wow do you know how long he paid 12k for? You could definitely buy a nice house after a couple of years of that much money! She sounds terrible with money, although he is worth a lot so she could get more and actually do something constructive with it. She’s after millions, which she’ll never get.
When I go to a restaurant with a group, I immediately ask the server for a separate tab at the beginning. It has saved me from situations like this. I do not feel like paying for what I have NOT consumed
@@moonhunter9993I’ve never been to a restaurant that didn’t split the bill. Some people will try to split bills in order to say it wasn’t a large party but the restaurant will still split the bill & add gratuity. TBH, for a large party, it is a PIA to split the bill for a large group.
I’m that person that will get my phone out and work out on my calculator what I owe 😂 I don’t drink and I eat very little. There’s no way on earth I’m paying for other people to eat and drink. I will chip in for whoever’s birthday it is. Thankfully none of my friends would order ridiculous amount’s though.
The restaurant bill one was crazy. I'd pay for what I ate and drank, and then never go to a restaurant with any of those people again, because they couldn't be trusted.
So embarrassing!! I can’t imagine ordering steak and lobster and ordering expensive liquor and then being upset that the person who had 1 cheap meal wouldn’t go halves with me. I would be humiliated. You know deep down that you’re asking them to pay for things you ordered. Money isn’t more important than my pride. And they weren’t even asking, they were throwing a fit about it.
Totally. I don't care if "it is a custom". Even if we discussed it earlier, you don't get to order the most expensive things. Be mindful of your friends.
I always hated going out with friends who always insisted on splitting the bill as they always drank expensive alcoholic drinks and my spouse and I didn’t so we subsidized the drinkers. My female friends would go out for birthday meals with whoever inviting always stating that the host was treating. Knowing this as a guest, we always chose moderate cost items. I don’t mind paying for a glass of wine, a bottle of other drink and it’s never an issue. It always seems to be the heavy drinking couples who want to split the bill and my husband and I started asking at the start for separate bills. It’s always fun to see how other couples jump on that except for the one couple who wants you to pay for their drinking habits.
Please DON'T do the fire hydrant thing. I can't tell you how much regret you will feel if by chance they DESTROY your car to get to that hydrant, in case of a fire.
And they know where the hydrants are! They are marked by blue reflectors in the street so the firefighters can locate them even with cars obstructing the view.
Not to mention how you’d feel if ppl D!ED in the fire 🔥 eff the car damage, you can literally cause another person or pets demise due your selfishness/laziness/entitlement
The child wasn't the cause of Beyonce's parents divorce, Beyonce's father sliging his dick around town is the cause of the divorce. None of this is that little boys fault, and I feel bad for him for his mother trying to use him as a cash cow. The mother and Mathew Knowles, are the only two people to blame in this situation.
For real. It is a real problem when one person works really hard and becomes even a little bit successful, suddenly extended family comes out of the woodwork to ask for money. Suddenly that person has a bunch of dependents and their hard work never gets them the financial freedom they worked so hard for. Beyonce being so extremely wealthy is a huge outlier, most people who this happens to can't buy and sell medium sized countries.
I agree. I also think Beyoncé should be in his life as a sister. Why take the affair out on him. I can’t imagine how he feel to be living poor with him mother with his famous family disowning him. His father should definitely be supporting him. Imagine seeing your family, your siblings all over the internet doing all this stuff yet that want nothing to do with you. Personally I would tell the mom if you want him to have a good life then he can move in with me. You can see him when you want but I’m not going to buy you a house and pay for you to live the rich life like you probably thought would happened when you started sleeping with my father without protection. I would have been in that kids life sense birth. He is her children’s uncle! Like why isn’t he invited to birthday parties at least? I would also pay for him to go to a good school. Yeah she definitely isn’t responsible but if I had money like that I would do all I could to help my brother without giving money to his mother.
@@kristianamarie6762 If Beyonce wanted to do that sure, she could but if she doesn't want she doesn't have to either. Beyonce has no connection with this boy and she should't be forced to make an emotional connection to somebody she doesn't know just because her father slept around. He isn't invited to parties or to chill with the family because to Beyonce that could just very well not a family member to her. It is amazing if you would want to do that for him, but it still isn't a reason to expect Beyonce to. She doesn't need to. And I am saying this as somebody who pretty much grew up in a situation a little bit like this (without having a famous half sibling) at the end of the day its Beyonce's choice if she wants him in her life or not and nobody should be expecting her to buy her half brother everything he wants just because her father slept with his mother. The only people who should be looking out for him is his mother and father. And Matthew has money. Sure not the amount of Beyonce or Tina I suppose, but he has enough to where he should be the one who is making sure his son isn't going without. This isn't Beyonce's fault, it isn't Beyonce's problem. Its Matthew's, and to put his problem on Beyonce just because she has money is wrong.
As someonen who doesn't drink, I really HATE splitting the bill because the boose is usually the most expensive part of a meal. If I know we are going to split the bill beforehand, I always make sure they understand that I will split the FOOD cost, but not the wine.
I usually get taken to a nice dinner for my birthday, and the guests split my bill, which is very sweet. If they tell me to treat myself I will, but knowing that none of us are rolling in cash, I’m going to exercise restraint and maybe stick to one drink, one entrée. I’ve also covered a shared appetizer or the tip as a thank-you to everyone who came to celebrate with me. You don’t get to be entitled just because it’s your birthday.
The birthday girl's story makes me think of that episode of Friends where half them were rich and half were totally broke and when they went out for dinner the rich ones got full 3 course meals and the poor ones got side salads and were baffled when they were expected to split the bill evenly...
No! At a "B-Day Dinner", everyone pays for themselves, and they all SPLIT Birthday Girl's meal....The idea of "I'll order the steak and lobster since we all split the bill!" is foolish!
@@nixemory9903 duh 🙄 u said exactly the same thing I said. Bottom line if you're BROKE, stingy or otherwise not very generous OR ABLE 👀 with your wallets and pockets DO NOT accept invitations for group celebrations and activities 🙄 easy as that.
@@MelenaSoleil Yeah, we can definitely agree that those broke-ass girls, especially the birthday-girl, should have opted for an option that's more on their level, like McDonald's or something.
I wonder if the birthday girl just really wanted to live it up for her birthday, invited all the people, lived it up and then was like, it's my birthday, y'all gotta pay.
My friend group decided a long time ago that the rule is when we do birthday dinners, we all pay for our own orders and we split the birthday persons check up amongst ourselves so they don’t have to pay. I highly recommend.
🙄🤦🏽♀️ The reason for NOT doing it that way is out of courtesy and consideration for the SERVER as well! Y'all are just broke, stingy self centered ppl and if you're like that you shouldn't be accepting an invitation for group celebrations and activities that involve paying for stuff smh 😒
@@MelenaSoleil It's not stingy or self-centered to not want to pay for everyone else's multiple $15 cocktails if you just had water or a single beer. I'm usually already the designated driver, which means I'm paying for gas. Why should I also have to pay more at dinner? Nobody should have to be willing to bankroll other people's expensive celebratory food/drink choices in order to hang out with friends. Usually I just offer to buy the birthday person a drink or two and move on. I realize this is more of a pain for the wait staff, which is why I also make sure to tip really well at group events.
Ever since UA-cam updated it’s rules about cursing in videos, the people I watch have gotten very creative with their choices of censor sounds, and I love it lol.
20 something years ago, my husfriend applied for a job as a courier. When they asked him if he could drive a stick shift, he said "Yes." First day on the job, they put him in a manual car, and that's when he learned to drive stick!
If my father ran around and shat kids while cheating on MY MOTHER , it is NOT my responsibility. Shame on that Mother , such a shameful way to raise a child.
Its also shameful to ignore a child who is your half brother just because your Dad fucked up. Him having a shitty mother doesnt make him any less family to her.
Yikes, I had a pretty hard life growing up but I can't imagine the hell you must have gone through to essentially call siblings literal pieces of shit for existing. That's either some serious anger and pain manifesting in ugly and hateful ways or simply incredibly narcissistic. While it's true that hurt people hurt people, we don't have to. We can choose to be better than that.
That happened to my husband and I one time… we arrived a little bit late to the dinner. The bill came, and there was charges for bottles of champagne and shots. We had zero alcohol since they drank the bottles up before we got there. That was the last time we agreed to a group dinner…separate checks from here on out!
It's always the ones ordering the most expensive items that want to split the bill evenly. No! I had one taco and a beer. I'm not paying for your steaks and two bottles of wine.
As someone who used to run a sod (grass) installation business: yes, this is real grass that was probably laid within the last 3 months actually whoever laid it didn't do a very good job because there are some gaps between the rows, especially towards the bottom of the screen.
(RE: the birthday dinner) The total bill was *$5000!* Splitting the bill and adding $20ish dollars more to what you know is one thing. Adding an extra few HUNDREDS is quite another... This reminds me of that episode of Friends that sums up this experience EXPERTLY!
For the bill issue, all you gotta do is ask the waitress to get you a different bill with what you ordererd. Pay for it, leave, and be done with those "friends." For the fire hydrant one, I actually heard of someone parking in front of one and there was a fire, so they broke the front windows and put the fire hose theough it. Which I don't blame them.
I keep seeing the pot and it's lid on different shelves in the fridge. I keep wondering if nobody knows that you can simply flip the lid upside down and put it on top of the pot. This way, if a lidless pot would fit on a shelf, it will also fit with a flipped lid
You shouldn’t split the entire bill but I think it’s fairly normal to split the cost of the birthday girl’s individual meal & drinks (but anything shared like a bottle of wine should only be split by those who drank from that bottle)
Honestly ppl who like to nickel, dime AND PENNY 👀👀 ppl when going out as a group should just stay home 🥴😂 Please don't accept the invitation if you can't afford the celebration and libations 😆
As a former server, we would have split the bill to fit what each person had. So if they ordered their own meal, they would pay for what they ordered and that's it. Servers fix problems real quick! And split bottles evenly.
Love how she complains about Beyoncé’s mansion vs. their trailer yet she bought her son an expensive game console and has a Hello Fresh subscription. People love to complain about their money problems but spend outside their means on unnecessary stuff.
OMG the birthday dinner! I had this same experience with an entitled bride (who I might add is no longer in the family) we had several bride events to go to & one was a night out on the town with mostly her rich friends (well daddy's were rich daughters were entitled) we went to a very expensive place so I just got a drink & salad. They ordered all sorts of drinks & desserts. I was of the impression we would all cover our own & of course the brides expenses...these girls were so cheap. By the time the bill & money came around to me I had to pay just about $250 because many didn't even cover their portion of the bill & there wasn't even money for a tip......and that was with my sister in law paying extra & a long time friend of ours who was like a step cousin to the bride paying extra......also all the friends had gotten up from the table with the bride so there was no getting more money from them! The three of us just had to suck it up! Needless to say, I made up an excuse & got my sister in law & myself out of the rest of the evening at the next bar where they were again running up a HUGE tab!
I admit..I did the same thing when my husband proposed. I was so excited and overwhelmed, I didn't even realize I did it until after the fact. We had just had a long conversation like 2 days before that we were going to wait and save some more $$ (we had been dating for 5 years at this point). Meanwhile, he already had the ring and plan. He proposed on my birthday. till together 27 years later:).
10:23 lmfao my best friend (who’s a woman for context in this) has sent me 8+ minute voice notes & honestly I find it impressive bc I could never have that long of a convo out loud without another person replying.. & I usually have to listen to them a couple times to get all the info 😂
As a former volunteer firefighter, DO NOT DO THAT. It's illegal for one. For two, they know where EVERY hydrant is in the city. Your vehicle will be damaged if a fire is in that area and they need to use that hydrant (at your cost and you will be fined).
I feel for Beyonce's alleged half sibling because he didn't have a part in any of this! His situation is bad enough, and is compounded by having a delulu ass mom😢. I hope things get better for him, poor kid
His situation is only bad because his bio parents are shit and tried to use another woman as a cash cow for their stupidity. The boy/mom isn’t wealthy but they’re not poor or scrapping by. The mom is just like the dad, a user who takes little accountability for themselves
@@suonatar1it can be just as cheap or even cheaper than buying the same ingredients at the grocery store, depending on where you live and how many people you are feeding. With that being said, if you are poor in the US, you’re not eating those healthy meals… you’re buying junk food. Think packaged noodles and hamburger helper. It’s extremely hard to eat healthy and be poor in this country, especially with any convenience.
As a rule of thumb, when my friends and i go out to celebrate eachothers birthdays we all pay for what we ordered and then split the bill on what the birthday person had. That way, the person having the birthday is still being gifted a free meal from all of us, and we're all paying for what we got as well.
In Australia, at lot of places you order and pay first, then your food comes. It was weird at first, but I've gotten used to it now. If someone wants a bottle of something they order and pay for it, and then it's their choice to share it. Otherwise folks just buy a round if they want to be generous. If you just want to eat and drink what you want, easy done, no fuss no bother. Another way is to split the food bill, and everyone is on their own tab for drinks.
@8:37 So obviously THEY don't live in Las Vegas, but I do, and girl, I am AMAZED that anyone has actual grass in their yard that you can walk on. Like, it's not a thing here. Xeriscape (rocks and cactus) is the norm here, with some Palm Trees tossed in. and SO MUCH fake grass. You can't believe. SO MUCH. When we see folks with real grass (REMEMBER, WE ARE IN A 24/7/365 DROUT) we are absolutely amazed and we sound JUST like her!! "Ohhhh, they must be really well off, they have REAL grass!!"
Please don't cover up a fire hydrant for any reason, folks (let alone, for a reason as selfish as getting a great parking spot, smh). People could literally die because of it. 🙄 Also, I have to say (regarding the first segment) that cooking/preparing delivered meals, playing in the park, and shopping at discount stores is how most people live if they are lucky 😃 I can't blame the boy for wondering about his father, but his mom sounds entitled. I hope that she can learn to place her focus on what she can and is doing for her son to make him feel loved by HER 💕
I went to dinner for a friend and I ordered a huge drink for all of us to share. The price of that drink was about $100. I paid for that on top of the spot cost of the food we shared plus my personal plate. It’s not everyone else’s responsibility to pay for everyone else.
She was right though, you can see the lines from mowing, it would be much more homogeneous looking if it were artificial. I mean have you ever seen a golf course, that grass is super short and well manicured because it's constantly watered, given nutrients and trimmed regularly.
What? Not sure I get your meaning. It's _not_ artificial grass: it's sod - likely newly and improperly laid down, as you can see from the way it has the crisscross marks, has a weird divot towards the bottom of the screen, and it has some yellowish patches. Artificial grass is pretty uniformly a bright green and wouldn't have those marks all over it.
In Spain when you organise a dinner to celebrate your birthday, you pay the bill not the guests. Obviously you must clearly state what could be ordered and also you decide the restaurant.
I'm in the USA. When I invite my friends to a celebration gathering, I pay for it. Other times, If we all meet up, we do healthy, organic potluck. Splitting the bill doesn't work for people who don't drink, who are vegetarian or celiac, or on a tight budget, etc.
Back in the olden days, when I was trying to raise a kid and pay the rent as a single mom, I went to lunch with the mother of my daughter's best friend. I told myself I could spend about $15. I ordered the cheapest entree and had water to drink. She had a fancy giant burger platter and a $12 glass of wine. At the end of the meal, I got up to use the restroom. When I got back to the table, she stood up, picked up her purse, and said, "I just split the bill evenly and already paid my half," then she headed for the car. ::blinkblink:: Thank goodness I had a credit card with some space on it.
I actually do feel pretty bad for the kid that was the product of the affair with Beyoncé’s father and his mother. He’s the collateral damage in all of this. He likely has no relationship with his biological father and his mother clearly chirps in his ear about how his half sister is one of the richest musicians on the planet, while they live in very modest conditions. She also seems to be very blunt with her son about how Beyoncé isn’t currently interested in knowing him (I do hope that changes with time, but it’s possible it won’t). He’s a 13 year old boy in a situation he never asked to be put in and it’s likely very confusing, frustrating, and saddening for him. He also probably feels pretty inadequate that his biological father has a child that’s an international superstar, that he clearly favors, while wanting little to no relationship with him. It’s one of those “everybody sucks” situations, except for the boy and Beyoncé (and Beyoncé’s mother, of course), and that’s why I hope some day they’ll be able to connect on some level, bc they are technically related, and they were both innocent in this situation
I don’t hope that. Honestly, in a lot of these situations, it’s best the affair kid and the older kid don’t have a relationship. The boy deserves a better life yes, but Beyoncé isn’t obligated to give it to him. She’s a grown woman with a family, no point in building a relationship with a kid who is not only a physical reminder of what her father did to her mother (which isn’t the kid’s fault but it’s still how she’s gonna feel), but the mom’s probably out here telling him to bother her for money because she ended up being incredibly famous and they live in a trailer park. Hopefully the kid gets a better life, but Beyoncé and her mom deserve to be free of this mess.
My loser father impregnated his mistress as well. I have absolutely zero desire to ever know my “half sister” or have anything to do with them. Not my monkeys, not my circus. Hopefully Beyoncé never wastes time on them, and I say that as someone who doesn’t even like Beyoncé
@@Hippidippimahmits only a waste if the person deems it to be one. It was a waste to you cause you deemed it one. Other may deem it worthwhile. Personally I'd have no interest in the mom but I don't know about the kid. In alot of ways he's just another victim of parents poor choices.
@@tatkkyo9911 I agree with Leigh. It’s a waste to know the kid. I mean, sure, you can try some high roading Mother Theresa bs, but let’s be real. Yes the kid didn’t ask to be here, no one asks to be here if we’re honest, but that doesn’t stop the fact that they are a physical representation of your parent’s misdeeds. Full stop. The same with how a lot of kids of divorce feel out of place if their parents start popping out new editions, it basically ruins a good portion of their life. I’m somebody whose sperm donor was the scum of the earth, and I don’t really want anything to do with my sibling once I move out because one, he’s a reminder of a lot of pain I’ve had to go through, and two, there’s simply no point in it for me. If Beyoncé and people like Leigh have no desire to know a person who is living breathing proof that their mother and themselves weren’t enough for their fathers, then that is perfectly fine.
@@Hippidippimahm Same, I don’t like Beyoncé but who wants to spend their life basically being a human bank for your dad’s mistake? I’m not a kid of divorce, or someone who’s had a front row seat to an affair, but who’s gonna blame somebody for not wanting to see what is, undeniably, tangible proof of the vile act a parent committed?
I love that I have friends who want to do activities instead of spend money on their celebrations. A lot of us like to go on special kayaking trips for special occasions, or have a special playdate with our dogs at the dog-friendly pub next to the dog park, or go to an amusement park. Food is always involved, but we pay for ourselves. I always just pay for any tickets or fees we incur during the day(s) we're up to stuff for myself and whoever we're celebrating (I'm a bit better off than my friend group).
Birthday Dinners...You make sure the birthday persons' dinner and drinks (within reason) are covered and everyone else covers their own bill...That's always been the way we've always done it and it's always worked quite well...
Maybe it's Different in other countries . My uncle invited a small Group of relatives to his birthday dinner and he covred the whole Bill. There was no splitting the bill. And I would expect the same when I am invited to a dinner - I would be very surprised if I would be asked as a guest to pay for the meal and drinks I was invited to.
When I go out to eat and someone else is paying, I tend to order less expensive items. I feel bad making them pay more for mine than they do for theirs.
The splitting the bill one is ridiculous to me. You shouldn't have to check beforehand. Always assume that it's separate checks. I just went out for my birthday dinner two weeks ago and assumed I would pay for myself. That's what decent human being should do. If someone offers to pitch in or pay for your meal you should thank them. Don't ever demand it or assume that they will. I have a large family that lives locally and sometimes we'll all go out to eat. Even though my uncle will always use his company card (family business) to pay for the meals I never assume that is what will happen. I go with the assumption that I will need to pay for myself. If I can't afford it at that time I won't go.
It's all fun and games hiding fire hydrants till your car is broken, impounded, you're slap with several charges and potential a lawsuit. Then you'll wish you spent 5mins more and parked elsewhere instead.
You are my true escapism!!!❤❤❤ I love coming back home and watch your videos. They make me laugh, they make me feel happier! YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you!
Lol when my husband proposed I yelled “Really” walked up and plucked that box out of his hand before he said a word. 🤣 started to put the ring on my own finger then said “ oh wait. You haven’t asked yet.” Then he asked. We dated for 7 years before he proposed though. So I honestly thought we were not getting married 😂
Please don’t blame the boy Charlotte, he didn’t ask to be born and he's probably going to have all sorts of mental health issues from having a mother like that and having to no doubt carry a feeling of inadequacy from knowing his dad's side of the family doesn’t care he exists. It's sad tbh. I hope he has someone without an agenda looking out for him.
Absolutely agree. I don’t blame Beyoncé or anyone else in the family for not wanting to be a part of his life but he deserves love and support. So I hope there are more reliable people around him.
She's taking about the situation in whole and mostly blaming the mother and making a passive agressive as a joke. She might be involving the child (how old is he now?) because it's absolutely possible that the woman has taught the child to put the blame 100% on Beyonce as to gain people's fave to force the singer to pay for them. (Still the moms fault, but I don't see her blaming the child outright. Just the mom)
I’m pretty sure she was just trying to say like from beyonces perspective like what Beyoncé feels I don’t think she was personally trying to attack the boy I think she was just trying to explain how Beyoncé felt I could be very wrong tho
@@cindypicadomolina7814But remember that poor boy is going to grow up surrounded by this nonsense because his mother is forcing him into it. So any half ass conversation saying such will seem 100% serious to him, and being called ‘the one who destroyed someone else’s marriage’ absolutely obliterates anyone’s mental health (I saw some poor, unfortunate souls on Reddit, in r/relationshipadvice or r/AITA, still in their adulthoods thinking that *they* are the source of their family’s destruction and any abuse they suffer must be something they did wrong so could you help, Reddit? (Of course, most of the time, Reddit’s real quick to correct that bs and call the PoS family out))
You're right, the boy shouldn't be blamed, but Charlotte didn't blame him, only his mother. "His father's side of family" would be father's parents and siblings, I think. Beyoncè and her mother are "father's second family" to him. They have no obligation to keep in touch, since this could be painfull and traumatic. Someone (the mother) should explain that to young man, so that he didn't feel so much dissapointment or entitlement. But she clearly doesn't care about his feelings, only about Beyoncè's money.
Charlotte, I only saw one of your videos a couple of weeks ago. I subscribed and am now binge watching them. You are so cute and funny. Love 💞 you and your opinions. You make me laugh every day and at my age, 59, that's a treasure. Thanks, and petty on girlie!!!!
Re the birthday dinner, I would quietly go to the waiter and ask to pay my bill separately, tip the server appropriately and take an extra copy of my receipt, hand it to the birthday girl (who I’ll betcha received birthday gifts) and leave.
My Mom had a friend years ago, that eventually broke up with her boyfriend, because he would get the most expensive meal, than try not to pay for it. I used to watch him put his head down, and act like she wasn't paying for him, because she was so embarassed at his behavior. "Oh lets split the bill," I ate burgers and fries and he'd have like lamb in mint jelly.
just had a birthday dinner for my birthday at a family style resturant. It was announced to everyone that we will be spliting the bill for food but everyone will be paying for there own drinks. It worked wonderfully
I walk the dog past a house with artificial grass. It almost looks real but it is always the same length and is the same shade of green all over. Also, the dog never wants to pee on it.
@@RainingRebecca we did our best. I’ve always been very introverted and she was the only one I could really talk to. After 17 years it’s time for her to move on. We prevented a lot of suffering for her.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I went through that 6 months ago for my sweet little ginger girl Winnie, and as hard as it was, it was the right thing to do for her. I still have bad moments where I really miss her, and I cry, but it does get easier. ❤
The grass is called sod.. It takes a ridiculous amount of water to keep it lush and green which is probably why it. Has the yellow spots sought is usually grown in mass fields? It. Looks like grass but it has a sponge under belly of it and is laid out and strips/plug style on your yard. You have to constantly water it for it to continue to grow and root there after that. You need to receive small patches that lose its touch.. The best kind of Saint Augustine..
I hope the people who live by that hydrant move the construction barrel off and then call the cops or parking enforcement to have it towed 😂😂 also would never split a bill like that, but i would just quietly excuse myself to the bathroom and then tell the waitress/waiter to give me a separate check and if the restaurant doesn't do separate checks for reason some reason id secretly give the waiter money for my meal and thrn bounce, or stash the money on the table and 'go to the bathroom' 😂
That's actually pretty clever lol the detergent bottle had me convinced. To fake being on the beach, take 2 hot dogs and make it look like legs against a computer screen with beach background. 😎🤣
I think every time I've asked someone out for their birthday, I've prepared to cover THEIR meal and mine, 'cause I asked them out. If we're a group, then I expect to cover my share of the birthday person's meal plus mine, but not anyone else's, forget about that
For the guy putting a construcrion cone over the fire hydrant it wouldn't work for long and better hope no cameras are around. Every fire department has a detailed map of the locations of fire hydrants on every street in every district and city they serve. They will just lift the cone off, break your windows to attach the fire hose, take your license plate info, make and model of your vehicle, tell cops to ticket you and have your car booted and or towed. Then criminally charge you for endangering the public, interferring with an emergency, vandalizing city/town property, and illegally restricting access to city/town resources. Then civily charge you for illegal parking near a fire hydrant. Failing to move your vehicle and make you pay several hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines. Major cities are natorious for this. Mostly because space is limited in major cities especially during an emergency.
@@axon130, if I see someone parked illegally, I can take pictures of the car and license and send them to the local PD via email. The person then gets a ticket in the mail. One time I let it slide was because the owner is a small business. 3-5 employees gathered every morning at a convenience store in their work trucks, NBD right? Except they parked as close as possible to the door, usually blocking the handicapped accessibility and making it a pain for anyone. Then they hung out on the sidewalk drinking coffee, eating snacks and smoking (illegal here that close to a business entrance). Last, this C store is adjacent to another business and shares a huge parking area. That place isn't open that early. Could have parked 30 feet away and bothered no one. So I contacted the owner and said I didn't want him to have the hassle because he owns the trucks, could he talk to his men? He sure did, and thanked me for telling him.
@axon130 Former paramedic here. Ever since Covid19, most people have become careless, selfish, entitled, less tolerant, rude, violent, confrontational, even more racists, and plain disrespectful. I worked in the Fire department in a major city (Paramedic side). A lot of us quit including myself because it is truly a thankless job that really doesn't pay enough to deal with the people with the listed above character traits. Also because my fellow brothers and sisters on the medical frontline from hospital executives to the CNA's started offing themselves because of the pressure and mental toll. The US frontline EMS was never trained or prepared for a pandemic. Thank the greedy politicians in Congress for not putting in funding for such training over 2 decades ago when US EMS directors asked. The people of the public, blatant disregard for the safety and wellbeing of others, played a major role in the deaths all around in this country. Under the mindset, "If it's not happening to me, it's not my problem." Until it is. Not many people with the latter character traits exist these days. There are emergencies every day. Unexpected public crises and multi casualty incidents happen every day around the clock. Canada, California, and Maui just had a fire and had little time to react. Greedy owners at the top cutting corners on safety protocols to save a few dollars. Then you have curious or just plain reckless kids and teens with too much time on their hands doing whatever, whenever from loitering to gun violence to public and private properties and to people. The parents don't reprimand their kids for their actions and behaviors. Granted people are overworked and burned out in many countries. The US being one of them. There's an accident waiting to happen. It's sad, but a fire is expected these days, whether the cause is climate change or a single person's bordem/carelessness. Fires don't send a prior warning memo with time and date or location. So, for goodness sakes, don't park at the fire hydrant, tamper with, or conceal them. You could be costing lives and not know it because of your stupidity and inconsiderate entitled behavior and actions. By the time you realize it, it's too late. Having a vehicle comes with responsibilities and rules. Follow them at all times, no matter what. Parking is scarce in major cities, but it comes with the territory of living in them with a vehicle.
the bill splitting thing: If Bday girl invited her friends out for dinner, she pays for everyone. then people bring a gift. that's how you do it in Denmark. if you can't afford both people typically announce in advance that fx drinks are not paid for or something like that. and if you are really broke you just don't host anything
It's Charlotte time ⏰😂♥️ and i love it. Everyday at the same hour, a new vídeo. Charlotte deserves all the recognition for her amazing work and dedication to the Channel.
No for real tho! If you're in an interview or an audition and they ask if you have a learnable skill, say yes but you're a little rusty, and then IMMEDIATELY LEARN THAT SKILL. This is how I became a Jr character designer and storyboard artist on an animated series 😂
The splitting the bill Birthday dinner. We used to ensure the Birthday persons meal was paid (split only their dinner expense) ensuring BDay person has no out of pocket expense… sometimes for an evening (take turns buying their drinks). But the rest of us paid our own expenses.
The mother is the one definitely giving those narratives 😂, she's the one thinking what she said her son's questions were. Don't destroy any iota of relationship he may have in the future with his step siblings. Talk to the father not the Father's rich daughter please!!

I used to be a horseback riding instructor. Had a guy come to me booking an emergency lesson. He was an actor who just got hired to do a tv commercial. He told them he could ride a horse. He'd never been on a horse before. In 3 days I got him to the point where he could at least canter in a straight line without falling off.
That's impressive actually, you must be good

@@flamefangstar well, he was also very dedicated and unafraid. He really wanted the job.
@@LaFlor718 no, but I never had much time to watch tv, and alot of commercials are filmed but never aired.
I don't care if we discussed splitting the bill beforehand. If the bill is $4k I'm paying for myself and never talking to those people again. 😒
Exactly. So-called friends who are comfortable taking advantage of people and purchasing ridiculous things at a restaurant because they know others will be paying for it deserve to be friendless.
@@katehakanson310 even when someone else is paying my portion of the bill, I never order something I otherwise wouldn't be able to pay for myself.
Whether you split the bill or not should depend on several factors. If you offered to take them out for dinner, and it is a reasonable price... Compared to the location of where you took them out, and by reasonable, I mean a drink, a meal, and maybe dessert. Anyone else that comes, should pay for their own, if they are old enough to hold a job. There are obviously exceptions to this general guideline, but definitely paying $4,000 for a meal is nowhere a reasonable demand. Instead, they should pay for their own portion of the meal, this includes any food they order, and drinks. Order, and desserts they order.
It wasn't $4k but 10 years ago me and my then best friend went on a two week vacation to NYC for her birthday where her new boyfriend was going to join us after a week. I had only met him once, briefly. Everything was great the first week. I had always wanted to go to NYC and we wanted to see most of the same things but when her boyfriend joined us, it was a disaster. He treated me like garbage and she "didn't see it" and kept making excuses for him, and even when I said they should do something together and I could go do something on my own, (because I figure he probably resented that I was there and probably wanted to do boyfriend/girlfriend stuff with her, which I understood) she insisted that I wasn't a 5th wheel but I totally was because I was at best ignored by both of them and at worst treated like a nuisance by him, but I digress.
On the second last day of the trip it was my then friend's birthday and we went to a fancy restaurant she always wanted to visit and then went to a Broadway show. Since it was the second last day, I was low on my budget and I planned to get my friend a souvenir at the show for her birthday, I got the cheapest thing on the menu and a water. Between the two of them they ordered steak, lobster, wine and appetizers, dessert etc. My food came to about $30, theirs were over $250.
When the waiter comes with the bill he declares that me and him will split the bill down the middle. I was so shocked I just did it (I was a doormat back then) and I was so upset I really didn't say anything the rest of the night. My, what I later learned was a toxic positive friend was just like, "Awww, thank you for such a wonderful birthday!" and was either blissfully unaware of how unfair that was or chose to ignore it. When she FINALLY realized I was upset and I told her why (I hadn't wanted to say anything because I didn't want to ruin her birthday but she asked and was persistent) she got all pissy and shoved $50 in my face and walked away as though that was the root of my issue. My real issue was how he treated me the whole week and how my feelings were ignored and my solution to let them have their alone time while I did my own thing was rejected and the birthday dinner bill was the straw that broke the camel's back. Even if he said that we should split only her portion of the bill, which would be more reasonable, I still don't think that would be right as he was the boyfriend and they ordered so much between them.
Me post-therapy would never let that happen. She married the guy. I was maid of honour at their wedding. They both treated me like crap in subtle but insidious ways. We're not friends anymore.
@@happychaosofthenorth That's awful! How can she honestly blame you for being upset about the bill, even if nothing else was going on? Sorry you lost a friend like that.
I mean, I feel bad for Beyoncé’s brother, but Beyoncé is not responsible for raising him nor is she obligated to have a relationship with him.
The best part of that article was the random Hello Fresh plug 😂😂😂😂
The life of trust fund babies.😂
I feel like it isn't her financial responsibility but as a human being and as a mother I feel like she could feel out the kid. Not the mom. I have siblings that were conceived while my parents were married . I get the shade about the money part... I'd say umm.. no. But HER DADS INFIDELITY IS THE REASON FOR DIVORCE. Not the kid. The kid was just proof that he was a dog with fleas
She (Beyonce) didn't have a say, wasn't in the room or even considered when her brother was being concieved so it's none of her business and she and her pockets can decide to keep out of it.
It's Matthew's responsibility to be providing for his son, not Beyonce's.
9:00 can confirm it’s real grass; not only would it not have those yellow spots, you can see the two sets of lines from when it was cut
I spent 10 minutes scrolling comments to find someone talking about the grass portion lmao, thank you!
I heard about the $4600 birthday dinner bill. It was all over the internet. It's insane, I mean, who invites you to birthday dinner and sticks you with a $500 bill? This is a result of poor communication, assumptions, and entitlement.
I always get separate check.i may contribute to the bday person meal
The big problem with the fire hydrant thing is that a lot of fires that have multiple casualties nowadays are usually the result of someone thinking, "Oh, fires are rare, so it's fine!" and taking shortcuts with fire safety. Just look at any number of the fire disaster documentaries here on UA-cam. So maybe, like, don't EVER do that. I love your videos Charlotte, and I know it was probably meant as a joke, but there are people out there who really do think that this is a "life hack" to try.
I get finding parking spaces can be incredibly frustrating and annoying, but by doing this you are putting peoples' lives at risk.
The fire department will literally break your windows and run the hose through your car if it’s in the way. The city will not pay for damages if you are parked illegally. With the preponderance of security cameras, it can be easily proven that you placed the barrel on the hydrant. The guy in the video isn’t the first one to figure that disguise 😏
@@tastx3142 Yah, that is what I was going to say. The city knows where the fire hydrants are. And they will DESTROY your car without hesitation if they need to access it, and probably still ticket/tow even if there isn't a fire.
@@ladygrndr9424My town literally painted all the fire hydrants to look like celebrities and character, think: John Wayne, Obama, Luke Skywalker, etc. We have a whole walking tour of Every. Single. One. in the downtown. All the locals know where they are now so no one messes with them.
@@void405why?
@@LyraPyxisVT the town is very weird and mismanaged, so I've stopped trying to figure out why.

The "split the bill" story is crazy but what makes it even worse is, they're at a fancy restaurant screaming at the top of their lungs at each other.

@@iamzeppoluvromg true
Why can't people just pay for their own meals and drinks? If you can't afford it, don't order it. I follow that rule and I'd be pissed if a friend expected me to pick up the tab for their exorbitant drinking when I didn't drink myself.
On the other hand, what I wouldn't give to be just a few tables away listening to the drama unfold. I didn't know I was getting dinner AND a show!
it was a skit, not that yelling at a restaurant is okay but it was definitely a skit
@@cbpd89I think for the most part people do that…I think the issue happens when people order appetizers and things for the table and everyone partakes in eating it but there’s always one or two people who feel like although they aren’t they didn’t order it so they shouldn’t pay.
I’ve never had an argument happen I think because we usually talk about things as a group prior and if people have a certain budget and they can’t handle splitting additional appetizers they will just not eat them and we all know not to include them when we split the bill. We also don’t go too crazy too. Like each person will order one appetizer and we tend to eat roughly around the same price point. If me and my friends go to a steak house we all getting steak. So I’ve never had a situation where someone’s total is that much of a difference but if someone complains we just have them pay their share and we shut split it. Idk why people are yelling
I can totally believe that crazy mistress story. My father had a rather extreme midlife crisis and had about 6 mistresses (at the same time) at one point.
He eventually died alone overseas somewhere and since my mother was still legally his wife (he refused to divorce her), it was left up to her to make all the arrangements.
During that entire emotional mess, most of the mistresses let us be. Except for this one crazy lady. She was constantly harassing my mom, my uncle (my father's brother) and even his former employer, because she could not accept that my father had died practically penniless (the little money he did have tucked away didn't even cover his funeral expenses, his relatives had to chip in just so we could have a basic service). She was convinced he had been some kind of millionaire and that my mom, my brother and I were "being greedy" and keeping all the (non-existent) money to ourselves.
I'm not on social media much, so it was through my mom that she demanded from me to "do my duty as [my father's] first-born child" to financially support her as well as
the child she claimed my father conceived with her. Because older siblings had to look out for their younger siblings.
This was apparently after she failed to extort money from my uncle and my father's former employer.

My ex did the same to me except she said her and her bf had already broken up when we met.
Block her that was her and his upper you have no obligation to that at all. You can't even be sure that that is your brother or sister or whoever the child is. This one was out for a paycheck and got absolutely slighted. Live your life and be happy 😊🤗✌️
Don’t blame the child. The child doesn’t have anything to do with how he was conceived. Too many times kids, who were affair babies, end up being the only ones who suffer because people hate them for even existing. He didn’t choose to be born, especially as an affair baby
Yes! 😢
Exactly
@@JokeswithMitochondriaI was curious about your username so clicked on your profile. Wasn’t disappointed
Yeah, but people don’t have to be around them either. They tend to remind people of painful things and if someone doesn’t want to be around them then they don’t have to. It’s better for the child any way.
@@LoveK1 I’m not saying that but Charlotte said he is the reason why he is hated by Beyoncé as “he broke up her parents”. I’m saying don’t blame the child, blame the parents only.
And what of the affair kid who lost their mother, and the father had to take him in because he was under 16 years of age, but everyone including the father ignored the kid and only gave him basic essentials while the family gets lavish things and crap. He didn’t choose any of that, yet here you are saying it’s ok the family ignores him, right? That it’s better for him?
You’re saying the kid could be abused and ignored because his existence hurts other people. Other people’s feels matter much more than the innocent kid who didn’t do anything wrong.
Splitting the bill is insane to me. I’m paying for what I consumed, and if it’s a birthday celebration, I’ll chip in to pay for whomever we are celebrating. Everyone else is on their own.
Edit: if it’s my significant other who we are celebrating, I pay for them as a whole. Everyone else is still on their own😁
That was my thought; the only split is to help pay for the birthday person's meal.
Yes! I never understood splitting the bill.
Thank you 👏👏
Agreed
I can understand friends splitting the cost of a celebrants meal among themselves, but anything else is just a recipe for disaster.
"That child" did *not* make Beyonce's parents divorce; Beyonce's father's infidelity made her parents divorce. Don't lay the responsibility on the kid.
This
*The woman's role in the father's infidelity made her parents divorce. Don't lay the responsibility solely on the father.
But, Beyonce is not responsible for her half-brother. Beyonce father is the only one responsible to pay for the kid
He was the one married though so more responsibility is on him than on her. However her posts are tacky and dragging Beyonce into it is unfair. The father should support his child. @@axon130

The split bill thing happened to me once and once only..
paid £50 for a glass of diet coke and a salad when i was young and broke..
the next time i got invited to another dinner by the same person, i told them i wasnt really going to pay for everybody elses drinks..
that person had the cheek to get offended and blamed me for not "ENJOYING myself" at the 1st dinner..
We are no longer friends but she taught me to always say No to those invites, and if tricked into one, to leave before everybody starts to order

It used to happen to me until I stopped going to group dinners. As a muslim I don't drink alcohol. It didn't matter to anybody and they made me pay for the wine, shots, etc. and the last time I remember I pointed it out and was considered rude for it since "it''s my own problem" whether I drink or not. Like I said before I stopped going on group dinners and the problem was solved.
Such trashy behaviour! 😩
I also don't drink so whenever these things happen I'll just say out loud, I'm gonna pay for mine and leave you guys to split the rest.
Splitting the bill like that is not at all common where I live or in my social circle at least.
I would not pay for someone else's alcohol period since I don't drink and have lost relatives to alcoholism so I have pretty strong feelings on the matter.
This happened to me recently. It was my first time where I had to split the bill and pay for alcohol. I never knew it wasn’t normal and everyone was acting like it was normal. Rest assured I’m never meeting them again, even though I keep getting constant invites. I prefer my one on one friend meets instead
Those “friends” are no loss. I do drink alcohol and I would never expect non-drinkers, or even drinkers, to pay for my drinks. Actually, I usually have just one drink and I don’t want to pay for someone having several, especially if expensive brands.
Beyonce's half-brother's mother takes the delulu cake. Why would she or her son be entitled to any of Beyonce's money? Beyonce didn't knock her up! 😂
Yeah but wishful thinking on their part yes?😅
I'm sure some sleazy lawyer convinced her she has a case.
I also did a little researchand found out that Beyonce's dad was paying this woman $12k a month until Beyonce fired him as her manager for stealing from her. Now he pays her $2,500 a month. So this kids hasn't been going without like the mother tried to make it sound. And Beyonce has pretty much an estranged relationship with her dad because of everything hid did to cause the divorce with her mother, and because he literally stole millions from her, so it really makes no sense in why she would want a relationship with this child, physically or monetarily.
@@jeanams07I hope she forced her father to pay all that money back
@@jeanams07wow do you know how long he paid 12k for? You could definitely buy a nice house after a couple of years of that much money! She sounds terrible with money, although he is worth a lot so she could get more and actually do something constructive with it. She’s after millions, which she’ll never get.
When I go to a restaurant with a group, I immediately ask the server for a separate tab at the beginning. It has saved me from situations like this. I do not feel like paying for what I have NOT consumed
not all restaurants allow separate bills
I don't drink, I do the same.
@@moonhunter9993I’ve never been to a restaurant that didn’t split the bill. Some people will try to split bills in order to say it wasn’t a large party but the restaurant will still split the bill & add gratuity. TBH, for a large party, it is a PIA to split the bill for a large group.
I’m that person that will get my phone out and work out on my calculator what I owe 😂 I don’t drink and I eat very little. There’s no way on earth I’m paying for other people to eat and drink. I will chip in for whoever’s birthday it is. Thankfully none of my friends would order ridiculous amount’s though.
Same. And I’ve never ate somewhere that didn’t allow separate checks
The restaurant bill one was crazy. I'd pay for what I ate and drank, and then never go to a restaurant with any of those people again, because they couldn't be trusted.
Yeah, the whole thing was very ratchet.
So embarrassing!! I can’t imagine ordering steak and lobster and ordering expensive liquor and then being upset that the person who had 1 cheap meal wouldn’t go halves with me. I would be humiliated. You know deep down that you’re asking them to pay for things you ordered. Money isn’t more important than my pride. And they weren’t even asking, they were throwing a fit about it.
Totally.
I don't care if "it is a custom". Even if we discussed it earlier, you don't get to order the most expensive things. Be mindful of your friends.
10:42 For me, that feels so wholesome🥺It's like she's saying "shut up and marry me already, I've waited for this"😭💖
I always hated going out with friends who always insisted on splitting the bill as they always drank expensive alcoholic drinks and my spouse and I didn’t so we subsidized the drinkers. My female friends would go out for birthday meals with whoever inviting always stating that the host was treating. Knowing this as a guest, we always chose moderate cost items. I don’t mind paying for a glass of wine, a bottle of other drink and it’s never an issue. It always seems to be the heavy drinking couples who want to split the bill and my husband and I started asking at the start for separate bills. It’s always fun to see how other couples jump on that except for the one couple who wants you to pay for their drinking habits.
Please DON'T do the fire hydrant thing. I can't tell you how much regret you will feel if by chance they DESTROY your car to get to that hydrant, in case of a fire.
And they know where the hydrants are! They are marked by blue reflectors in the street so the firefighters can locate them even with cars obstructing the view.
You also don’t want firefighters to be delayed at all in getting to a hydrant. When it comes to fires the seconds matter.
@@davidguidry657 very true, they all have ways to know where their hydrants are located.
@@LoveK1 yes, and it kinda makes you a 💩person 🤷🏾♂️ To do something like that
Not to mention how you’d feel if ppl D!ED in the fire 🔥 eff the car damage, you can literally cause another person or pets demise due your selfishness/laziness/entitlement
The child wasn't the cause of Beyonce's parents divorce, Beyonce's father sliging his dick around town is the cause of the divorce. None of this is that little boys fault, and I feel bad for him for his mother trying to use him as a cash cow. The mother and Mathew Knowles, are the only two people to blame in this situation.
For real. It is a real problem when one person works really hard and becomes even a little bit successful, suddenly extended family comes out of the woodwork to ask for money.
Suddenly that person has a bunch of dependents and their hard work never gets them the financial freedom they worked so hard for. Beyonce being so extremely wealthy is a huge outlier, most people who this happens to can't buy and sell medium sized countries.
I agree. I also think Beyoncé should be in his life as a sister. Why take the affair out on him. I can’t imagine how he feel to be living poor with him mother with his famous family disowning him. His father should definitely be supporting him. Imagine seeing your family, your siblings all over the internet doing all this stuff yet that want nothing to do with you. Personally I would tell the mom if you want him to have a good life then he can move in with me. You can see him when you want but I’m not going to buy you a house and pay for you to live the rich life like you probably thought would happened when you started sleeping with my father without protection. I would have been in that kids life sense birth. He is her children’s uncle! Like why isn’t he invited to birthday parties at least? I would also pay for him to go to a good school. Yeah she definitely isn’t responsible but if I had money like that I would do all I could to help my brother without giving money to his mother.
@@kristianamarie6762 If Beyonce wanted to do that sure, she could but if she doesn't want she doesn't have to either. Beyonce has no connection with this boy and she should't be forced to make an emotional connection to somebody she doesn't know just because her father slept around. He isn't invited to parties or to chill with the family because to Beyonce that could just very well not a family member to her. It is amazing if you would want to do that for him, but it still isn't a reason to expect Beyonce to. She doesn't need to. And I am saying this as somebody who pretty much grew up in a situation a little bit like this (without having a famous half sibling) at the end of the day its Beyonce's choice if she wants him in her life or not and nobody should be expecting her to buy her half brother everything he wants just because her father slept with his mother. The only people who should be looking out for him is his mother and father. And Matthew has money. Sure not the amount of Beyonce or Tina I suppose, but he has enough to where he should be the one who is making sure his son isn't going without. This isn't Beyonce's fault, it isn't Beyonce's problem. Its Matthew's, and to put his problem on Beyonce just because she has money is wrong.
Amen to that
Amen.
As someonen who doesn't drink, I really HATE splitting the bill because the boose is usually the most expensive part of a meal. If I know we are going to split the bill beforehand, I always make sure they understand that I will split the FOOD cost, but not the wine.
I usually get taken to a nice dinner for my birthday, and the guests split my bill, which is very sweet. If they tell me to treat myself I will, but knowing that none of us are rolling in cash, I’m going to exercise restraint and maybe stick to one drink, one entrée. I’ve also covered a shared appetizer or the tip as a thank-you to everyone who came to celebrate with me. You don’t get to be entitled just because it’s your birthday.
The birthday girl's story makes me think of that episode of Friends where half them were rich and half were totally broke and when they went out for dinner the rich ones got full 3 course meals and the poor ones got side salads and were baffled when they were expected to split the bill evenly...
No! At a "B-Day Dinner", everyone pays for themselves, and they all SPLIT Birthday Girl's meal....The idea of "I'll order the steak and lobster since we all split the bill!" is foolish!
Yeah, it's super trashy behaviour.
@@axon130I think it's trashy to accept an invite to a restaurant you can't afford 🤷🏽♀️
@@MelenaSoleilyeah, super trashy to order things you can't afford by yourself and expecting others to pay for you
@@nixemory9903 duh 🙄 u said exactly the same thing I said. Bottom line if you're BROKE, stingy or otherwise not very generous OR ABLE 👀 with your wallets and pockets DO NOT accept invitations for group celebrations and activities 🙄 easy as that.
@@MelenaSoleil Yeah, we can definitely agree that those broke-ass girls, especially the birthday-girl, should have opted for an option that's more on their level, like McDonald's or something.
I wonder if the birthday girl just really wanted to live it up for her birthday, invited all the people, lived it up and then was like, it's my birthday, y'all gotta pay.
Seems about right!
I'd bet real money that's exactly what happened.
It's a skit. There are other videos like that on that guys TikTok. He wanted to viral so he could become famous and start selling.... clothes.
@@actuallyterryclothes? So he does a skit on dinner, probably why he's not famous
I've been to dinners like that, it can be an okay surprise or big fat hell no. Simply not polite to spring on people in any fashion.
My friend group decided a long time ago that the rule is when we do birthday dinners, we all pay for our own orders and we split the birthday persons check up amongst ourselves so they don’t have to pay. I highly recommend.
Yes, that is how we handle it too.
us too
That's how it should be!
🙄🤦🏽♀️ The reason for NOT doing it that way is out of courtesy and consideration for the SERVER as well! Y'all are just broke, stingy self centered ppl and if you're like that you shouldn't be accepting an invitation for group celebrations and activities that involve paying for stuff smh 😒
@@MelenaSoleil It's not stingy or self-centered to not want to pay for everyone else's multiple $15 cocktails if you just had water or a single beer. I'm usually already the designated driver, which means I'm paying for gas. Why should I also have to pay more at dinner? Nobody should have to be willing to bankroll other people's expensive celebratory food/drink choices in order to hang out with friends. Usually I just offer to buy the birthday person a drink or two and move on. I realize this is more of a pain for the wait staff, which is why I also make sure to tip really well at group events.
Ever since UA-cam updated it’s rules about cursing in videos, the people I watch have gotten very creative with their choices of censor sounds, and I love it lol.
20 something years ago, my husfriend applied for a job as a courier. When they asked him if he could drive a stick shift, he said "Yes." First day on the job, they put him in a manual car, and that's when he learned to drive stick!
If my father ran around and shat kids while cheating on MY MOTHER , it is NOT my responsibility. Shame on that Mother , such a shameful way to raise a child.
She smelled money whilst sniffing around the dad......
If she wanted Beyonce's money, she should've had a child conceived by Beyonce, then, so she could sue for parental support.
Its also shameful to ignore a child who is your half brother just because your Dad fucked up. Him having a shitty mother doesnt make him any less family to her.
Takes two to tango. Daddy gets the exact share of blame if they both knew he was married.
Yikes, I had a pretty hard life growing up but I can't imagine the hell you must have gone through to essentially call siblings literal pieces of shit for existing. That's either some serious anger and pain manifesting in ugly and hateful ways or simply incredibly narcissistic. While it's true that hurt people hurt people, we don't have to. We can choose to be better than that.
That happened to my husband and I one time… we arrived a little bit late to the dinner. The bill came, and there was charges for bottles of champagne and shots. We had zero alcohol since they drank the bottles up before we got there. That was the last time we agreed to a group dinner…separate checks from here on out!
Yep. Happened to me, too. Alcohol drinkers like to stiff non-drinkers with their expensive bills. Never, ever again.
It's always the ones ordering the most expensive items that want to split the bill evenly. No! I had one taco and a beer. I'm not paying for your steaks and two bottles of wine.
As someone who used to run a sod (grass) installation business: yes, this is real grass that was probably laid within the last 3 months actually whoever laid it didn't do a very good job because there are some gaps between the rows, especially towards the bottom of the screen.
Thank you! Was looking if someone mentioned that is is roll on sod and not even evenly laid.
(RE: the birthday dinner)
The total bill was *$5000!*
Splitting the bill and adding $20ish dollars more to what you know is one thing. Adding an extra few HUNDREDS is quite another...
This reminds me of that episode of Friends that sums up this experience EXPERTLY!
For the bill issue, all you gotta do is ask the waitress to get you a different bill with what you ordererd. Pay for it, leave, and be done with those "friends."
For the fire hydrant one, I actually heard of someone parking in front of one and there was a fire, so they broke the front windows and put the fire hose theough it. Which I don't blame them.
I keep seeing the pot and it's lid on different shelves in the fridge. I keep wondering if nobody knows that you can simply flip the lid upside down and put it on top of the pot. This way, if a lidless pot would fit on a shelf, it will also fit with a flipped lid
I do it
I was thinking the same thing😂
I would have don the same!
That's what I do.
You shouldn’t split the entire bill but I think it’s fairly normal to split the cost of the birthday girl’s individual meal & drinks (but anything shared like a bottle of wine should only be split by those who drank from that bottle)
I only got caught up once splitting the bill for a family style meal when all the dudes ate most the food and the gals got mere morsels. Never again!
They should split the bill ONLY if they agreed beforehand to do so. Otherwise, birthday girl is being entitled and shouldn't be rewarded.
I'll split up to $100 extra, but anything more than that isn't a "gift" I'm willing to share.
Honestly ppl who like to nickel, dime AND PENNY 👀👀 ppl when going out as a group should just stay home 🥴😂 Please don't accept the invitation if you can't afford the celebration and libations 😆
@@MelenaSoleilI don’t drink. Why should I be paying for others expensive drinks? No way.
As a former server, we would have split the bill to fit what each person had. So if they ordered their own meal, they would pay for what they ordered and that's it. Servers fix problems real quick! And split bottles evenly.
The pot on one shelf and the lid on the shelf above it made me actually laugh out loud. That was a good one.
Love how she complains about Beyoncé’s mansion vs. their trailer yet she bought her son an expensive game console and has a Hello Fresh subscription. People love to complain about their money problems but spend outside their means on unnecessary stuff.
OMG the birthday dinner! I had this same experience with an entitled bride (who I might add is no longer in the family) we had several bride events to go to & one was a night out on the town with mostly her rich friends (well daddy's were rich daughters were entitled) we went to a very expensive place so I just got a drink & salad. They ordered all sorts of drinks & desserts. I was of the impression we would all cover our own & of course the brides expenses...these girls were so cheap. By the time the bill & money came around to me I had to pay just about $250 because many didn't even cover their portion of the bill & there wasn't even money for a tip......and that was with my sister in law paying extra & a long time friend of ours who was like a step cousin to the bride paying extra......also all the friends had gotten up from the table with the bride so there was no getting more money from them! The three of us just had to suck it up! Needless to say, I made up an excuse & got my sister in law & myself out of the rest of the evening at the next bar where they were again running up a HUGE tab!
You know you’re all grown up when you start obsessing over how beautiful a lawn is
I've been obsessing over it since I was 8-10 🤔
😂😂😂
Kinda like the insurance company commercials where people are turning into their parents😂
I admit..I did the same thing when my husband proposed. I was so excited and overwhelmed, I didn't even realize I did it until after the fact. We had just had a long conversation like 2 days before that we were going to wait and save some more $$ (we had been dating for 5 years at this point). Meanwhile, he already had the ring and plan. He proposed on my birthday. till together 27 years later:).
10:23 lmfao my best friend (who’s a woman for context in this) has sent me 8+ minute voice notes & honestly I find it impressive bc I could never have that long of a convo out loud without another person replying.. & I usually have to listen to them a couple times to get all the info 😂
As a former volunteer firefighter, DO NOT DO THAT. It's illegal for one. For two, they know where EVERY hydrant is in the city. Your vehicle will be damaged if a fire is in that area and they need to use that hydrant (at your cost and you will be fined).
I feel for Beyonce's alleged half sibling because he didn't have a part in any of this! His situation is bad enough, and is compounded by having a delulu ass mom😢. I hope things get better for him, poor kid
I find it interesting that Mom's so broke, but they're ordering Hello Fresh deliveries.
@@dotar9586my thought exactly!!!!!
His situation is only bad because his bio parents are shit and tried to use another woman as a cash cow for their stupidity. The boy/mom isn’t wealthy but they’re not poor or scrapping by. The mom is just like the dad, a user who takes little accountability for themselves
@@dotar9586I forgot about that part. I don't live in America, so I was like "is that a cheap option"?
@@suonatar1it can be just as cheap or even cheaper than buying the same ingredients at the grocery store, depending on where you live and how many people you are feeding. With that being said, if you are poor in the US, you’re not eating those healthy meals… you’re buying junk food. Think packaged noodles and hamburger helper. It’s extremely hard to eat healthy and be poor in this country, especially with any convenience.
As a rule of thumb, when my friends and i go out to celebrate eachothers birthdays we all pay for what we ordered and then split the bill on what the birthday person had.
That way, the person having the birthday is still being gifted a free meal from all of us, and we're all paying for what we got as well.
The detergent bottle for the plane window was a good idea. It made for a "clean getaway" !!✈
Thank you everyone for sticking up for that boy! It is NO WAY his fault that his “parents” are assholes!
You're not wrong
EXACTLY. 50K ON A BARBIE...IDIOTS
In Australia, at lot of places you order and pay first, then your food comes. It was weird at first, but I've gotten used to it now. If someone wants a bottle of something they order and pay for it, and then it's their choice to share it. Otherwise folks just buy a round if they want to be generous. If you just want to eat and drink what you want, easy done, no fuss no bother.
Another way is to split the food bill, and everyone is on their own tab for drinks.
The girl at 11:40...just turn the lid upside down...thats what I do 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing better than being stuck with a “friend’s” large bill of extra drinks when I had already provided pitchers of beer and food for MY birthday.
@8:37 So obviously THEY don't live in Las Vegas, but I do, and girl, I am AMAZED that anyone has actual grass in their yard that you can walk on. Like, it's not a thing here. Xeriscape (rocks and cactus) is the norm here, with some Palm Trees tossed in. and SO MUCH fake grass. You can't believe. SO MUCH. When we see folks with real grass (REMEMBER, WE ARE IN A 24/7/365 DROUT) we are absolutely amazed and we sound JUST like her!! "Ohhhh, they must be really well off, they have REAL grass!!"
Thank you for gracing us with your presence as always Charolette. You always make my day brighter with your videos! ❤❤❤
Please don't cover up a fire hydrant for any reason, folks (let alone, for a reason as selfish as getting a great parking spot, smh). People could literally die because of it. 🙄 Also, I have to say (regarding the first segment) that cooking/preparing delivered meals, playing in the park, and shopping at discount stores is how most people live if they are lucky 😃 I can't blame the boy for wondering about his father, but his mom sounds entitled. I hope that she can learn to place her focus on what she can and is doing for her son to make him feel loved by HER 💕
I went to dinner for a friend and I ordered a huge drink for all of us to share. The price of that drink was about $100. I paid for that on top of the spot cost of the food we shared plus my personal plate. It’s not everyone else’s responsibility to pay for everyone else.
As someone who lost a house because of the lack of a fire hydrant I really don’t think that I approve.
The woman that refused to believe the grass was artificial grass is literally me whilst doing math 😅
I glanced at your comment and I read it as meth...🤣😂
She was right though, you can see the lines from mowing, it would be much more homogeneous looking if it were artificial. I mean have you ever seen a golf course, that grass is super short and well manicured because it's constantly watered, given nutrients and trimmed regularly.
Also, they don’t have slight discolorations in fake grass..
What? Not sure I get your meaning. It's _not_ artificial grass: it's sod - likely newly and improperly laid down, as you can see from the way it has the crisscross marks, has a weird divot towards the bottom of the screen, and it has some yellowish patches. Artificial grass is pretty uniformly a bright green and wouldn't have those marks all over it.
In Spain when you organise a dinner to celebrate your birthday, you pay the bill not the guests. Obviously you must clearly state what could be ordered and also you decide the restaurant.
Here in Germany too!
I'm in the USA. When I invite my friends to a celebration gathering, I pay for it. Other times, If we all meet up, we do healthy, organic potluck. Splitting the bill doesn't work for people who don't drink, who are vegetarian or celiac, or on a tight budget, etc.
9:24 "Sorry, it's not gonna work out for us.

Back in the olden days, when I was trying to raise a kid and pay the rent as a single mom, I went to lunch with the mother of my daughter's best friend. I told myself I could spend about $15. I ordered the cheapest entree and had water to drink. She had a fancy giant burger platter and a $12 glass of wine. At the end of the meal, I got up to use the restroom. When I got back to the table, she stood up, picked up her purse, and said, "I just split the bill evenly and already paid my half," then she headed for the car. ::blinkblink:: Thank goodness I had a credit card with some space on it.
That's awful!
what a b*
How rude!
That’s freaking evil and I hope you spread how she stole from a broke mother.
I actually do feel pretty bad for the kid that was the product of the affair with Beyoncé’s father and his mother. He’s the collateral damage in all of this. He likely has no relationship with his biological father and his mother clearly chirps in his ear about how his half sister is one of the richest musicians on the planet, while they live in very modest conditions. She also seems to be very blunt with her son about how Beyoncé isn’t currently interested in knowing him (I do hope that changes with time, but it’s possible it won’t). He’s a 13 year old boy in a situation he never asked to be put in and it’s likely very confusing, frustrating, and saddening for him. He also probably feels pretty inadequate that his biological father has a child that’s an international superstar, that he clearly favors, while wanting little to no relationship with him. It’s one of those “everybody sucks” situations, except for the boy and Beyoncé (and Beyoncé’s mother, of course), and that’s why I hope some day they’ll be able to connect on some level, bc they are technically related, and they were both innocent in this situation
I don’t hope that. Honestly, in a lot of these situations, it’s best the affair kid and the older kid don’t have a relationship. The boy deserves a better life yes, but Beyoncé isn’t obligated to give it to him. She’s a grown woman with a family, no point in building a relationship with a kid who is not only a physical reminder of what her father did to her mother (which isn’t the kid’s fault but it’s still how she’s gonna feel), but the mom’s probably out here telling him to bother her for money because she ended up being incredibly famous and they live in a trailer park. Hopefully the kid gets a better life, but Beyoncé and her mom deserve to be free of this mess.
My loser father impregnated his mistress as well. I have absolutely zero desire to ever know my “half sister” or have anything to do with them. Not my monkeys, not my circus. Hopefully Beyoncé never wastes time on them, and I say that as someone who doesn’t even like Beyoncé
@@Hippidippimahmits only a waste if the person deems it to be one. It was a waste to you cause you deemed it one. Other may deem it worthwhile. Personally I'd have no interest in the mom but I don't know about the kid. In alot of ways he's just another victim of parents poor choices.
@@tatkkyo9911 I agree with Leigh. It’s a waste to know the kid. I mean, sure, you can try some high roading Mother Theresa bs, but let’s be real. Yes the kid didn’t ask to be here, no one asks to be here if we’re honest, but that doesn’t stop the fact that they are a physical representation of your parent’s misdeeds. Full stop. The same with how a lot of kids of divorce feel out of place if their parents start popping out new editions, it basically ruins a good portion of their life. I’m somebody whose sperm donor was the scum of the earth, and I don’t really want anything to do with my sibling once I move out because one, he’s a reminder of a lot of pain I’ve had to go through, and two, there’s simply no point in it for me. If Beyoncé and people like Leigh have no desire to know a person who is living breathing proof that their mother and themselves weren’t enough for their fathers, then that is perfectly fine.
@@Hippidippimahm Same, I don’t like Beyoncé but who wants to spend their life basically being a human bank for your dad’s mistake? I’m not a kid of divorce, or someone who’s had a front row seat to an affair, but who’s gonna blame somebody for not wanting to see what is, undeniably, tangible proof of the vile act a parent committed?
I love that I have friends who want to do activities instead of spend money on their celebrations. A lot of us like to go on special kayaking trips for special occasions, or have a special playdate with our dogs at the dog-friendly pub next to the dog park, or go to an amusement park. Food is always involved, but we pay for ourselves. I always just pay for any tickets or fees we incur during the day(s) we're up to stuff for myself and whoever we're celebrating (I'm a bit better off than my friend group).
Birthday Dinners...You make sure the birthday persons' dinner and drinks (within reason) are covered and everyone else covers their own bill...That's always been the way we've always done it and it's always worked quite well...
Maybe it's Different in other countries . My uncle invited a small Group of relatives to his birthday dinner and he covred the whole Bill. There was no splitting the bill. And I would expect the same when I am invited to a dinner - I would be very surprised if I would be asked as a guest to pay for the meal and drinks I was invited to.
7:40 genius.. until a fire happens and the firefighters can't find the hydrant lol
They know where hydrants are, but that guy won’t be able to find all the pieces of his car when they’re finished. 😏
When I go out to eat and someone else is paying, I tend to order less expensive items. I feel bad making them pay more for mine than they do for theirs.
Oh the audacity of mistresses is WILD. I saw it so many times and from so many angles and it still can surprise me 😂
😂 I like how all of us are delulu but not extremely delulu 😂
The splitting the bill one is ridiculous to me. You shouldn't have to check beforehand. Always assume that it's separate checks. I just went out for my birthday dinner two weeks ago and assumed I would pay for myself. That's what decent human being should do. If someone offers to pitch in or pay for your meal you should thank them. Don't ever demand it or assume that they will. I have a large family that lives locally and sometimes we'll all go out to eat. Even though my uncle will always use his company card (family business) to pay for the meals I never assume that is what will happen. I go with the assumption that I will need to pay for myself. If I can't afford it at that time I won't go.
It's all fun and games hiding fire hydrants till your car is broken, impounded, you're slap with several charges and potential a lawsuit.
Then you'll wish you spent 5mins more and parked elsewhere instead.
You are my true escapism!!!❤❤❤ I love coming back home and watch your videos. They make me laugh, they make me feel happier!
YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you!
Lol when my husband proposed I yelled “Really” walked up and plucked that box out of his hand before he said a word. 🤣 started to put the ring on my own finger then said “ oh wait. You haven’t asked yet.” Then he asked. We dated for 7 years before he proposed though. So I honestly thought we were not getting married 😂
Please don’t blame the boy Charlotte, he didn’t ask to be born and he's probably going to have all sorts of mental health issues from having a mother like that and having to no doubt carry a feeling of inadequacy from knowing his dad's side of the family doesn’t care he exists. It's sad tbh. I hope he has someone without an agenda looking out for him.
Absolutely agree.
I don’t blame Beyoncé or anyone else in the family for not wanting to be a part of his life but he deserves love and support. So I hope there are more reliable people around him.
She's taking about the situation in whole and mostly blaming the mother and making a passive agressive as a joke. She might be involving the child (how old is he now?) because it's absolutely possible that the woman has taught the child to put the blame 100% on Beyonce as to gain people's fave to force the singer to pay for them. (Still the moms fault, but I don't see her blaming the child outright. Just the mom)
I’m pretty sure she was just trying to say like from beyonces perspective like what Beyoncé feels I don’t think she was personally trying to attack the boy I think she was just trying to explain how Beyoncé felt I could be very wrong tho
@@cindypicadomolina7814But remember that poor boy is going to grow up surrounded by this nonsense because his mother is forcing him into it. So any half ass conversation saying such will seem 100% serious to him, and being called ‘the one who destroyed someone else’s marriage’ absolutely obliterates anyone’s mental health (I saw some poor, unfortunate souls on Reddit, in r/relationshipadvice or r/AITA, still in their adulthoods thinking that *they* are the source of their family’s destruction and any abuse they suffer must be something they did wrong so could you help, Reddit? (Of course, most of the time, Reddit’s real quick to correct that bs and call the PoS family out))
You're right, the boy shouldn't be blamed, but Charlotte didn't blame him, only his mother.
"His father's side of family" would be father's parents and siblings, I think. Beyoncè and her mother are "father's second family" to him. They have no obligation to keep in touch, since this could be painfull and traumatic.
Someone (the mother) should explain that to young man, so that he didn't feel so much dissapointment or entitlement. But she clearly doesn't care about his feelings, only about Beyoncè's money.
You mean Beyoncé’s brother cooks Hello Fresh?! That’s definitely above my pay grade as a hard working machinist! 🙃
Yeah, I read that part, and I'm like "I can't afford that s*** with coupons!"
He's not hurting if he's ordering Hello Fresh and has a game consul.
7:50 That is not smart, that is endangering peoples lives, and quite possibly a serious crime.
Charlotte, I only saw one of your videos a couple of weeks ago. I subscribed and am now binge watching them. You are so cute and funny. Love 💞 you and your opinions. You make me laugh every day and at my age, 59, that's a treasure. Thanks, and petty on girlie!!!!
I'm around the same age and suffer depression for couple of decades. She makes me laugh quite often at her videos. 😂
Re the birthday dinner, I would quietly go to the waiter and ask to pay my bill separately, tip the server appropriately and take an extra copy of my receipt, hand it to the birthday girl (who I’ll betcha received birthday gifts) and leave.
Rule #1: Always decide how/who you are paying before you order.
I’ve recently discovered your channel. And it makes my day ❤ Thank you Charlotte!
I love your videos and you always make me smile! WE WANT “absolutely not” MERCH!!!!!
My Mom had a friend years ago, that eventually broke up with her boyfriend, because he would get the most expensive meal, than try not to pay for it. I used to watch him put his head down, and act like she wasn't paying for him, because she was so embarassed at his behavior. "Oh lets split the bill," I ate burgers and fries and he'd have like lamb in mint jelly.
just had a birthday dinner for my birthday at a family style resturant. It was announced to everyone that we will be spliting the bill for food but everyone will be paying for there own drinks. It worked wonderfully
I walk the dog past a house with artificial grass. It almost looks real but it is always the same length and is the same shade of green all over. Also, the dog never wants to pee on it.
We just euthanized our cat and I’m absolutely heartbroken, tho a bit relieved. Thanks Charlotte for being the brightness in my day.
Aww, I'm so sorry. I know how heartbreaking that is. I'm sure you gave kitty a wonderful life 🤗❤
I'm sorry to hear that. It's so hard, I'm sure you were and are a great cat parent. ❤️
@@RainingRebecca we did our best. I’ve always been very introverted and she was the only one I could really talk to. After 17 years it’s time for her to move on. We prevented a lot of suffering for her.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I went through that 6 months ago for my sweet little ginger girl Winnie, and as hard as it was, it was the right thing to do for her. I still have bad moments where I really miss her, and I cry, but it does get easier. ❤
My heart goes out to you 💓
The grass is called sod.. It takes a ridiculous amount of water to keep it lush and green which is probably why it. Has the yellow spots sought is usually grown in mass fields? It. Looks like grass but it has a sponge under belly of it and is laid out and strips/plug style on your yard. You have to constantly water it for it to continue to grow and root there after that. You need to receive small patches that lose its touch.. The best kind of Saint Augustine..
I hope the people who live by that hydrant move the construction barrel off and then call the cops or parking enforcement to have it towed 😂😂 also would never split a bill like that, but i would just quietly excuse myself to the bathroom and then tell the waitress/waiter to give me a separate check and if the restaurant doesn't do separate checks for reason some reason id secretly give the waiter money for my meal and thrn bounce, or stash the money on the table and 'go to the bathroom' 😂
That's actually pretty clever lol the detergent bottle had me convinced. To fake being on the beach, take 2 hot dogs and make it look like legs against a computer screen with beach background. 😎🤣
I think every time I've asked someone out for their birthday, I've prepared to cover THEIR meal and mine, 'cause I asked them out. If we're a group, then I expect to cover my share of the birthday person's meal plus mine, but not anyone else's, forget about that
For the guy putting a construcrion cone over the fire hydrant it wouldn't work for long and better hope no cameras are around. Every fire department has a detailed map of the locations of fire hydrants on every street in every district and city they serve. They will just lift the cone off, break your windows to attach the fire hose, take your license plate info, make and model of your vehicle, tell cops to ticket you and have your car booted and or towed. Then criminally charge you for endangering the public, interferring with an emergency, vandalizing city/town property, and illegally restricting access to city/town resources. Then civily charge you for illegal parking near a fire hydrant. Failing to move your vehicle and make you pay several hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines. Major cities are natorious for this. Mostly because space is limited in major cities especially during an emergency.
Hum... That would only be a problem if there was an actual fire... Lol.
@@axon130 No one has the right to endanger other people's property or their lives just to avoid being inconvenienced.
@@axon130, if I see someone parked illegally, I can take pictures of the car and license and send them to the local PD via email. The person then gets a ticket in the mail.
One time I let it slide was because the owner is a small business. 3-5 employees gathered every morning at a convenience store in their work trucks, NBD right?
Except they parked as close as possible to the door, usually blocking the handicapped accessibility and making it a pain for anyone. Then they hung out on the sidewalk drinking coffee, eating snacks and smoking (illegal here that close to a business entrance).
Last, this C store is adjacent to another business and shares a huge parking area. That place isn't open that early. Could have parked 30 feet away and bothered no one.
So I contacted the owner and said I didn't want him to have the hassle because he owns the trucks, could he talk to his men? He sure did, and thanked me for telling him.
@axon130 Former paramedic here. Ever since Covid19, most people have become careless, selfish, entitled, less tolerant, rude, violent, confrontational, even more racists, and plain disrespectful. I worked in the Fire department in a major city (Paramedic side). A lot of us quit including myself because it is truly a thankless job that really doesn't pay enough to deal with the people with the listed above character traits. Also because my fellow brothers and sisters on the medical frontline from hospital executives to the CNA's started offing themselves because of the pressure and mental toll. The US frontline EMS was never trained or prepared for a pandemic. Thank the greedy politicians in Congress for not putting in funding for such training over 2 decades ago when US EMS directors asked. The people of the public, blatant disregard for the safety and wellbeing of others, played a major role in the deaths all around in this country. Under the mindset, "If it's not happening to me, it's not my problem." Until it is. Not many people with the latter character traits exist these days. There are emergencies every day. Unexpected public crises and multi casualty incidents happen every day around the clock. Canada, California, and Maui just had a fire and had little time to react. Greedy owners at the top cutting corners on safety protocols to save a few dollars. Then you have curious or just plain reckless kids and teens with too much time on their hands doing whatever, whenever from loitering to gun violence to public and private properties and to people. The parents don't reprimand their kids for their actions and behaviors. Granted people are overworked and burned out in many countries. The US being one of them. There's an accident waiting to happen. It's sad, but a fire is expected these days, whether the cause is climate change or a single person's bordem/carelessness. Fires don't send a prior warning memo with time and date or location. So, for goodness sakes, don't park at the fire hydrant, tamper with, or conceal them. You could be costing lives and not know it because of your stupidity and inconsiderate entitled behavior and actions. By the time you realize it, it's too late. Having a vehicle comes with responsibilities and rules. Follow them at all times, no matter what. Parking is scarce in major cities, but it comes with the territory of living in them with a vehicle.
I'm loving the orange lights background.. Much more flattering to you.
the bill splitting thing: If Bday girl invited her friends out for dinner, she pays for everyone. then people bring a gift. that's how you do it in Denmark. if you can't afford both people typically announce in advance that fx drinks are not paid for or something like that. and if you are really broke you just don't host anything
It's Charlotte time ⏰😂♥️ and i love it. Everyday at the same hour, a new vídeo. Charlotte deserves all the recognition for her amazing work and dedication to the Channel.
She sure does and-OhMyGosh Kitty! 😻Cuteness!
Charlotte's laugh is so contagious ❤😂😅
💯 😂❤
She gets me laughing so hard and my boyfriend will tap me on the shoulder and ask "is it potato queen time?!" - and i loooooooose it everytime 😂
No for real tho! If you're in an interview or an audition and they ask if you have a learnable skill, say yes but you're a little rusty, and then IMMEDIATELY LEARN THAT SKILL. This is how I became a Jr character designer and storyboard artist on an animated series 😂
Green looks so good on you Charlotte 😍 proper summer vibes!!
The splitting the bill Birthday dinner. We used to ensure the Birthday persons meal was paid (split only their dinner expense) ensuring BDay person has no out of pocket expense… sometimes for an evening (take turns buying their drinks). But the rest of us paid our own expenses.
Charlotte's about to get a driver's licence, and she's already thinking of covering fire hydrants........ runnnnn.
😂❤
A child is NOT responsible for her fathers affair child....her FATHER is...
And just as responsible is the hoe who slept with a married man, of course.
The mother is the one definitely giving those narratives 😂, she's the one thinking what she said her son's questions were. Don't destroy any iota of relationship he may have in the future with his step siblings. Talk to the father not the Father's rich daughter please!!
@7:44, I wasn't looking at the screen, when he said 'that's also illegal' in response to her - I was shocked to hear someone else talking to Charlotte, threw me for a loop😂😂
Thanks for reacting to my video. 😂❤ Your reaction is HILARIOUS!!
