I had a Karen come into my clinic and demanded free flea/tick meds because she was the owners Sister. I don't have a Sister. I stepped out of my office, and explained the situation well she wasn't listening. She kept screaming that she was going to get me fired for being rude to her. I finally had enough and told her to get the hell out of "MY CLINIC!", or I was going to have her arrested for trespassing. She left while everyone was laughing at her.

Fun Fact: The last guy didn’t dodge a bullet, he dodged the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

on the last story, he didn't dodge a bullet, he dodged a damn cannonball!

My wedding was a disaster. First of all, days before the event her dad came down with pneumonia and was hospitalized. Well, the ceremony was being held 100 miles away, everything was already paid for, and we both had family coming in from out of state, so we couldn't change plans. He understood. The venue was locked when we and our guests arrived. The pastor showed up two hours late and reminded us that he had warned us he "might be a little late" because it was Easter Sunday. OK, he got there, my wife got into her dress, everyone sat down and her uncle walked her up the aisle. The ceremony proceeded smoothly. Then we set out refreshments on a table in the back for our guests and the pastor and his wife (the organist) got this horrified look on their faces. "What do you think you're doing?" they screamed. We told them this was the reception. Just some cake and a few plates of hor d'oeuvres and some simple beverages. They were aghast that we would do such a thing. "No one ever does that!" they screamed again. I walked up to the guy, put my face right into his and in my best tough-guy voice (I was in the Army at the time and could make myself very intimidating) told him that's what we're doing and what did he plan to do about it. Our party lasted about two hours, everyone was well-behaved (it was very small, only like 20 people and no small children), and afterward we cleaned up after ourselves so you would never even know we were there. Did such a horrible day ruin our marriage? Nope - that was 35 years ago and we are still together. Putting too much emphasis on the wedding itself is silly. It's just one day out of (potentially) a lifetime together.

First story was sad. Sounds like the old guy was suffering with some kind of dementia, which can in some cases lead to angry outbursts when their "reality" doesn't match the actual world. Hell of a way to leave this world.

Whoever invented “the customer is always right” seriously couldn’t be more wrong

I used to be a money lender. If the person started acting 'entitled' during the application process, they didn't get the loan. All I had to do was find a reason to turn them down, and believe me, there are many more reasons not to make a loan then there are to make one. Lesson, if a person starts acting entitled before a contract (loan, marriage, or any contract) is even signed, drop out now. You will regret it in the future if you don't.

Things guys need to consider if they want to get married : 1 ) It doesn't matter how grand it is, it must be something affordable 2 ) Don't take any loans. Save money instead. 3 ) Make sure that there's still a bit of savings after the ceremony and honeymoon. In my country, there's a lot of cases of debt after marriage just because they want something grand but couldn't afford it.

Not going to lie I actually have had a relationship end over the wedding. It was for the best. He wanted to do what his mom wanted, a big traditional church wedding with all the bells and whistles. I had 3 problems with it. 1) I'm not religious and getting married like that not only made me uncomfortable, but feel disrespectful to religious people. 2) I don't have any family. No relatives at all. I was a foster child and I recognized that they were not people I wanted in my life. So the thought of being surround by people I didn't know on my big day made me think about how upsetting it was to be without a family. 3) we had no income yet. We had just graduated high school. I knew it would be extremely hard to go into debt right as we entered adulthood. In the end he accused me of not loving him. I'm glad I didn't marry him. Because now I've met someone I can talk things out with respectively and we compromise for each other.

My favorite "I'm related to the owner" story was when the customer claimed to be the owners youngest son ... To the clerk who *was* the owners youngest son?

I’m only 12 and I can say that when I was 10 I didn’t climb on store displays.

The last guys friends probably felt like Batman's villains when they heard him laugh.

"Well I'm the owners daughter" *TAKES OFF SHADES TO REVEAL RED GLOWING EYES* "*ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?*"

Young Me: "I once fought a kid over a couple bucks." Father Time: "Pfft. Amateur."

And that, boys and girls, is why you don’t give an ultimatum unless you can accept the consequences of either outcome. The man dodged a bullet in my opinion, Hell, a whole firing squad’s worth!

Person: *walks in* Person: “I’m the son of the owner” Owner: “son?” Person: “dad I missed you” Owner: “me to I got milk but I forgot the address” Person: “I’ve been looking for you for the past 15 years” Owner: “how did you find me though” Person: “I’ve hired investigators and took a blood test” Owner: “come here son” Person and owner: *hugs*

To be fair Father Time might have had dementia or something.

Last story this guy almost married a girl who never left her Disney princess crazy phase at age 4, and still acts like one.

Father Time probably had dementia. My late dad used to do a lot of crazy things until he became immobile. Before my mom retired from retail, he would go around the store screaming for her if she was not out exactly at the end of her shift. She always told him to come at least 10 minutes later, but he wouldn't. He would also do that when she was grocery shopping. He would get upset if he couldn't see her all the time. Even if he went home while she shopped, he would get upset to be alone for an hour. He just thought if he decided something, he could do it, even if it was parking at a stop sign. He would tail gate because he thought drivers were going too slow through town. He couldn't help it. We were glad when his driver's license was invalidated by his doctor.

Karen at the pool store couldn't read because when teachers tried to teach her she screamed "how dare you tell me what to do!!"

He didn’t dodge a bullet, he dodged a thread full of “he didn’t dodge a bullet” jokes

Karen: I'm the owner's daughter and I can get you fired! Assistant manager: *uno reverse card*

"Just thinking about the embarrassment....." Dude, this is a Karen you're talking about. They feel no embarrassment, only rage at being proven wrong

Ending a relationship over a suit? Yeah, it was pretty much doomed from the start.

Really bugs me when people refer to a wedding as the bride’s big day while ignoring there’s a groom involved (if not an LGBTQ wedding). There’s two people getting married, not just one. One of them throwing a tirade to get every single decision is not a good sign of things to come.

The poor guy in the last story did the right thing. He stood up to her and saw her true colors come out in full fashion. Glad he never put her name on anything. She was missing a whole bunch of screws... lol!!! Glad he's doing alright.

I love when someone tries the "I'm related to the owner" and gets called out by the owner one of the owners family members

The wedding is indeed a special day, and should reflect the relationship as a whole. If you have to do something extravagant in order to 'prove' how special the day is, rather than simply knowing it's special because this is the person you're spending the rest of your life with, then it's time to reevaluate your relationship and life.

The young man in the last story did not dodge a bullet. He dodged a nuclear missile.

I've never had to deal with entitled people or karens. Thankfully I have a 35 kilo support dog who is wonderful at making people stay the f**k away from me. I have a very short fuse so I'm sure that Lulu has kept me from being arrested multiple times. Bless her.

Has throwing yourself on the floor & having a fit ever worked for an adult? I might have to do more research on this.

Karen: I KNOW THE OWNER! My friend who is the owner: I don't even know you. Seriously what's up with Karen and her "I know the owner" excuse?

i thought father time would be a wholesome madlad who saved the day in the first story, that was a bigass plot twist for me, and i love it

When someone throws a tantrum that would make a 3 yr old tantrum seem like they were just crying a little that’s when you know to nope out of there faster than the speed of light

He freaked out over 1 cent. I'm not even sure how to use the word "cent." I would have gladly left the place with my candy bar without my 1 cent.

Little old people can surprise you. Had a friend who had just started working in a nursing home. Went into one patient's room and called to him as she entered his room. No response. Walked up to his bed, saying his name, with no response. She figured that perhaps he was deaf or asleep. She shook his shoulder. He rolled over and clocked her in the jaw. That was that for her for that day.

1st story: I've always gave respect to retail workers for reasons such as this story 2nd story: I'm too sarcastic & have no filter either so that would have been a fun day for me 3rd story: That dude dodged a dynamite! Ugh I hate whiny people!

A Karen rly tried to slap me saying she could do anything she wants cuz she owns the shop- Me and my friend just wheezed

That last story is such a huge contrast to my sister and her fiancé. She wants him to be just as happy with every detail of the wedding as she will be, and brings all of them up to him so he can either agree or they can make a compromise. It's so cute. And sometimes annoying because they couldn't decide on the tables and chairs arrangement for the reception lmao

The first story with Father Time doesn't really come across as an entitled person to me. If you're elderly and find your way to Kmart then you're probably someone trying to stretch your buck as far as it can. His pension might not go very far, hence the coupon. Also, some elderly folks like to have keepsakes from the past. He may have had some old magazines or newspapers and got the coupon from them thinking they're recent. And as some people have mentioned in the comments he may have already started to have dementia as can be seen by the sudden mood change and aggression. Had I been in the same situation, I would have just given him the candy bar and paid out of my own pocket and even handed him the penny. A dollar isn't going to make or break you, but showing some compassion would go a long way. I work in a restaurant and I've done this a few times. There was a time when an elderly lady walked in to order some take out. Her husband died a few years back and her grown children were all living far away so she was alone. She didn't feel like cooking so she was going to get something she could eat for dinner and for lunch the next day. Her children don't really support her. They send her some money on holidays or her birthday, otherwise she makes do with her monthly social security check. Anyhoo, her takeout is cooked and she's ready to settle her bill. Turns out she's about $3 short. She's mortified and was worrying about what to do. I tell her I forgot that we had a special promotion and her food is actually discounted $3 (even though it's not) I hand her the food and tell her to enjoy her meal. I covered the difference.

🤣😂🤣 The bride to be got what she deserved and op is better off without her!

NO,the guy in the last story didn't dodge a bullet,he dodged a planet crackling nuke

The last guy didn't dodged a bullet, he dodged a tank shell

To the last story. He didn't dodged a bullet, he dodged the fricking Crucible.

My dad owns a small sports store and a karen said that she is friends with the owner as she talks trash to my dad XD

Oh my that third story. I know what OP went through. Sort of. Just the other day I called a Karen out on her bs. Apparently her son is a manager. So I asked her what his name was. She couldn't answer. And she said that I was gonna get fired over it. Guess who still has a job. All over the fact she wanted me to clean the belt and I asked her to stop putting her items on it so I could clean it. Some people. Smh

I would have PAID MONEY to see the Karen in the chemical store get her butt handed to her by the owner's assistant manager / grandson. too funny!!😂😂😂

In 1 of the stories it said that a Karen was pushing on a pull door. I laughed until I cried.

It’s weird when people try to claim they are family to or know the owner. Like, I don’t know one business owner that wants someone they know coming in and acting an ass. 🤷🏽‍♀️

last story: nonono... he didn't dodge a bullet... he used his whole life worth of nimbleness, luck and spine to dodge a nuke

He didn’t just dodge a bullet on the last one he dodged a tsar bomba

The last story left me with a huge smile on my face, that was exactly how I would've reacted. Laughing hysterically in her face as she spewed out her non-sense XDXDXDXD

Wow, father time. The story wouldn't be one without the time taken to describing him.

OP didn't dodge a bullet, he dodged a Tomahawk missile! lol A wedding is just a moment in time. It's only a day. Yes it's great to have wonderful memories, but in the end, it's the marriage that really counts.

The last story gave me warm fuzzies all over. Feel so good for that dude.

I love hearing stories about entitled people and "karens" getting called out, owned, put in their place, etc. But at the same time, a lot of these people purposefully try to get others fired or even arrested and I get sad thinking about the karens who do end up getting their way or get innocent people fired or arrested.

That story with the air cooler sounds like that urban legend about the patients dying at night in a hospital because the cleaner kept unplugging the machines to vacuum the floor.

He dodged a big bullet. If he gave in then she would have been controlling him throughout the marriage.

Like my mother taught me: if anyone ever says “if you really loved me, you would…”, run!

I'm working in retail at Walmart, and have worked here probably a little over two months. I'm surprised I haven't encountered a Karen.

The last story sounds like he dodged a MISSILE! I would NEVER want to be stuck with someone so demanding.

“She styled herself as a Disney princess” ugh…I nearly barfed in my mouth🤢

I have recently been listening to quite a few of the Karen stories. I must say that I really injoy your story telling. Telling the stories with those robotic voices without any intonation takes away from parts of the story that should be emphasised. So thank you for taking the time to read these yourself and letting us feel what people are writing.

One day, I want to hear a story of someone using “I’m the owner’s daughter” and OP is the owner. Would love to see OP just roll with acting as if the Karen is some lost baby of theirs XD

Bridezilla was a 2 year old. Friend had a close escape.

I agree. A wedding is not the bride's day... It is the couple's day

He didn't dodge a bullet, he dodged a shell from a tank.

This is the earliest I've ever been to one of your videos! Thanks for the stories!

In response to your comment about the last story "Maybe OP dodged a bullet": OP dodged a 155mm howitzer shell. At least!!

The first story was new to me and pretty good. I hope everything was caught on video and that the OP found plenty of new friends at that job. Story #2 is an "Old Classic" in that I recognized it immediately because every other Reddit-repeating channel I've watched has already presented it. Unfortunately, this repeat took up about 50% of the video. Story #3 strikes me as being more a creative writing challenge (gaining at most a C+ in English class) than real experience.

Dodged a Bullet??? I think that dude escaped the original Bridezilla!!

He will not get a wife but adopted child if he marry her

These stories are just hilarious 😂😃😂😅 Ken's and Karen's are who they are.

Honestly that last one with the bride to be, hearing her throwing herself screaming and such made me think of the story of Rumpelstiltskin, how they figured out his name, and he threw himself off a cliff. True, there was no cliff, but the idea still seems right around there over all lol 🤣

Poor guy at the end. Weddings can be beautiful, the way you imagine them, and inexpensive. Planning one right now. I can't handle the thought of paying thousands for a damn ring to begin with (still picking out my engagement ring but I HATE diamonds and love cubic zirconia...I won't let him spend more than $50 on a ring). So many women believe the amount a man spends on a ring determines how much the man loves them. F*** that! The determining factor is the proposal itself! Flowers? Who needs a ton of flowers and especially roses? We will only have fake flower bouquets and boutonnieres (my 1st wedding were real and damn near impossible to have saved them). Only real flowers will be the petals for the flower girls (and dudes). No rented tuxes. Dress pants, shoes, button ups, ties, and a vest. They can be worn again and most guys already have them. Making most of the things myself. Etc etc. It can be done. And I HATE when people call it "the bride's day" cause that is such a common perspective, but I see it as the bride AND grooms day...like that dude in the story said. Good for him! He truly dodged a bullet with that psycho!

I worked in retail, for decades...😆 the stories i could tell.

The third story - the groom didn't dodge a bullet, he evaded a nuke!

"...he shivered like a chihuahua in February." Some of the imagery in this writing is gold!

That first guy do be Mr Krabs tho. "GIVE ME MY PENNY!"

The last story, he dodged a MAJOR Bullet!

Can you do us a favor my beautiful friend and also include the story title before each story you read? When you have them all at the start, but not before the actual story I forget what the story was going to be about. If you can't no biggie, still love you anyways!

When it comes to romantic relationships, give someone a pass once. The next time tell them that you don't like what they're doing and ask them to politely stop. If it keeps happening after that, simply walk away no questions asked. This goes for women and men. BTW I've met a lot of men who take too much shit because they thinks that's what a man does for the woman he loves. Nope. This goes for women too.

My wife had a similar experience when she was 17. A lady changed price tags on a lamp from 15 dollars to 99 cents. When she couldn't give it to her she threw it at her. She was a mess after that. Some people have no class.

Has the line "Im the managers daughter/son/crotch goblin/big rock being thrown into the sea." ever worked?

That girl at the end would've control over the entire marriage if he went through with it he dodged more than one bullet that day

I got yelled at by someone that brought me close to a panic attack cause a company was stopping their frequent buyer program

The last story about OP throwing a tantrum about fiance not wearing a particular suit is ridiculous. My husband wanted to where all black like Johnny Cash but also wanted tails to his jacket. I wasn't pleased with the tail choice but... It was HIS choice. He could wear a clown suit for all I care. If I chose to say Yes and marry him, I choose everything about who he is. Period. That lady was raised wrong and still has to grow up, if she ever will.

A wedding is meant to be an event of sentimental value to symbolize both parties agreeing to be together as a couple, but the problem is that weddings have been hyped up by the media so that people will spend more money on them, particularly to women so they'll buy extremely overpriced dresses. She didn't really want to marry OP's friend, she wanted to feel like a princess for a day.

Oh darling, I love you too! I want our wedding to be in New Zealand at a middle earth themed house and we will look exactly like Aragorn and Arwen! You have to wear the same Crown and my dress will be in silk and embroidered with real pearls and diamonds by a real Elf! If you can't fix this you really don't love me! Loser!

I kinda feel bad for laughing when the old man said "GIVE.ME.MY.PENNY." like I feel bad for OP and all but like... this is so stupid I can't help but laugh at this

The article. Ok, so if they were the family of the patient. WHY IN THE HELL WOULD THEY DO THAT?! And if not, WHY?! I HOPE they were charged with murder!

In the last story he didn't dodge a bullet he dodged an ICBM.

Two things on the story about the Kmart cashier. Firstly, I'm glad you survived your first day because that old man's behavior was so far out of bounds that it makes me think he needs to be under some sort of supervision. Secondly, well I understand you are writing for an internet story I'm trying to be descriptive to show the dichotomy between this old man's appearance and his behavior, your description of this old man sort of ticked me off as it sounded ridiculing and not just descriptive. A senior that old quite often doesn't have the mobility to stand around ironing everything they own. And if he wears White Sox, who cares? Sometimes White socks are recommended for certain foot conditions. Also, a lot of people buy items in bulk to save money so it's quite possible that he simply wears the same color socks all the time. If he's as old as you say, wearing suspenders and a belt with a bow tie is another issue of who cares? He's obviously not helpless if he can swing a chain around the way he did but, old or young, you cannot judge a person by what they are wearing. Some of the best stress people have the trashiest manners. Some people who are lucky to have shoes and a winter coat or the most gracious people you will ever meet. Okay well here's a third thing. If this man was so old and moved so slowly, then why did no one from the store follow him outside even if only to get his license plate number to follow up with the police?

My father’s business is a swimming pool repair&remodel type as well, if this happened to him I’d tear that Karen a new one, I can’t tolerate anyone who thinks they have a right to treat my father’s business like that!! She’ll be looking at a lawsuit!

OMG!! LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 If I was standing behind "Father Time" I would have PAID for his Candy Bar after regaining my breath from witnessing that GLORIOUS Meeting of Realities 🤣🤣🤣

The teleporting cows in the background scare me.

Sadly, Fluff is the only person who says "I love you" to me.

Legend has it that Father Time is still boiling over the candy bar and penny.

The first one takes the line "I will unplug your life support to charge my phone" to a whole other level

Honestly these "Karens" are a disgrace to people who are named Karen
