I was already seeing red flags in story 2 when I heard that the child was referred to as a "do-over daughter", implying that the first one is faulty or improper. Absolutely toxic and disgusting mindset.

If you don’t get served ‘fast enough’ just get out. Also it’s sad the only person in that family with any sense was the 6 yr old. SMH

The customers that actually use "I'll never return" as a threat are the ones customer service don't want coming back anyway!

I've worked in restaurants for over 6+ years, you will almost always get that one customer that is just horrible and not understand how the food service industry works. Lost count how many times I have seen someone get kicked out and banned for deciding to be overly rude. Always treat the wait staff with the same respect you would want if you had to do that job.

First story: We have German ancestry in both sides if my family, and both of my parents would have gone after that woman. Though mom probably would have been the one to watch out for. The second story: There's a belief that if a person wants to know what their spouse will be like in 20 years, just watch the parent or parents. Yeah, he dodged a cannon ball there.

Dude didn't just dodge a bullet. He dodged a goddamned artillery barrage.

2nd story, OP if my girlfriend acted the way your girlfriend did, I would have just walked out and ended the relationship. Because the behavior of your girlfriend's mother is disgusting behavior and your girlfriend not supporting you and not having your back to stand up to her mother is not worth it.

Many, many years ago, my now- husband was at the beach with his then- wife and her son, who was 6-7 at the time. Little Erik was happily playing in the sand near the ocean's edge when some Random Guy came along, picked up Erik and tossed him into the ocean. BIG MISTAKE! Dave is 6'7" and is NOT a person to be trifled with. He has zero tolerance for bullies and is super protective ( if I stub my toe, he wants to rush me to the ER - no joke). So Dave leaps to his feet, grabs the guy by his collar and waistband and tosses HIM in the ocean! As he turns to tend to Erik , Dave realizes there are 2 cops standing behind him and thinks "Oh, f**I! I'm going to be arrested for assault!", but the cops informed him that they'd seen the whole thing. Random Guy wades to shore and begins the "Arrest him! I've been assaulted! I wasn't doing anything!" garbage, whereupon the cops duly inform him that they saw the whole thing. The smug smirk on the guy's face was wiped out when he was placed under arrest and Dave was asked if he wanted to press charges on the RG for reckless endangerment and assault on a minor. Which, of course he did!

If that chick would have brought to harm my nephew, id have her flying back to Germany. No plane needed!

WOW that second story! At least OP was smart enough to see the writing in the mashed potatoes and got out. Crazy train dodged!

If someone stole my plate at a restaurant, I'd follow them and spit in the food so they wouldn't be able to eat it

The only person in that family in the second story I have hope for is the six-year-old girl.

second story, op got to see what his fiancee would be like in a few years, for free.

Good lord how does no adult in that family realize how awful and bizarre Ellen's behavior is yet the actual child does? The ex-fiance doesn't do that shit but for some reason thinks it's fine to do that? Everything about this is weird and how the ex-fiance thought this was normal makes the least sense.

The OP in the 2nd story certainly dodged a bullet!

I’m cringing so hard at the second story and I haven’t even listened to all of it yet...I’m sorry at this rate I would have gotten up and left. There is no excuse for treating people like garbage and being an entitled brat. Kindness is free, but humility...that’s priceless

I would have left the moment that Karen stole the old lady's plate and GF didn't say anything or stop her. That's more than enough lack of character I need to know about to end a relationship.

First story: Had that been my dad, she would have to be taken away on a stretcher.

She is lucky I wasn’t there. I live 5 miles from the Shenandoah National Park, not forest. I would have contacted the Park Police and turned her in for assault.

I am shocked that waiter didn't pimp slap that mom across the room.

Definitely not a bad ass here. But no matter the size, gender, or age (excluding minors) if anyone so much as touched my children, or acted aggressive towards them in anyway we would be brawling... I might lose the fight... but we will be fighting.

I hope the OP in the second story told his fiancee exactly why he was breaking off the engagement. (It was unclear from the story whether he did.) She needed to know that her mother's entitled behavior is unacceptable in a civilized society, and that her thinking it was fine is just as bad.

It’s absolutely ridiculous how the actual children of these entitled people are more mature and morally superior than the parent(s)/family (like seriously, the child was ok with waiting a few minutes for their potatoes all while the mother commits theft for a plate and the others do nothing to stop her... I hope that kid comes out significantly better than the parents)

Your videos help me to not kill people while I'm quitting smoking. Thank you Fluff!! You're the best reddit youtuber there is!!

Story#1: I've said it before and I'll say it again: You do NOT harm children. Period. End of story. Story#2: If you want to know how your future wife will be...meet her mother.

16:37 OP that's an understatement, you dodged a nuclear warhead that would've sent you to crazy town, your ex needs a reality check if she thinks her mother's actions are justified, let alone normal. F

I love how Dark Fluff still does these really good subreddits that aren't read that much anymore like the revenge subreddits while still doing the common ones like the entitled ones Like some Thanos stuff "Perfect balanced, like all things should be"

The insane mother should be sued with child abuse.

the irony of entitled mother, Ellen, complaining about modern society being a "me, me, me culture" . . . -- but then Karens usually show no signs of having even heard of the concept

The mashed potato family is a classic example of what happens in a dysfunctional family built around a narcissist. What to anyone in earshot sounds like shockingly rude and abusive behavior, seems perfectly normal to the family members. One clinical psychologist with a very good YT channel describes it as becoming so normalized that it is like the perpetrator is speaking a foreign language. The family members don't seem to hear how loathsome that toxic person's behavior is. I pity what that 6 yr old's life will be like when and if she goes out into the real world as an adult.

My childs dad would probably do worse then body slam if anyone hurt his baby

Wow!! That man got out just in time!!! I would have run for the nearest exit and never looked back!!

This one got even better cause it has an actual video to it

I'd have bailed on that dinner way earlier. I would have handed the waiter a 20, apologized for him having to deal with the old bag, and walked out. Putting part of the order in ahead of everyone else? Nah, I'll skip out on that "I'm better than you" BS. She cant even argue that it was for the kid because she ordered a steak at the same time.

My friends and I love going out when we can and we can afford. One of the things we talked about during those dinners is one way to see what kind of a person your date or others are - take them out to restaurants and see how they treat the workers. This is always not true but you'll be surprised on how many people "changes" and show hidden nasty attitudes when they are given chances to be in power over strangers no matter how small that power is.

Yeah no if someone knocked my child over they’d be knocked out seconds later

Back in the day early early 90s I was at a park and this kid was throwing sand in the faces of kids coming down the slide... CROWDED PARK. My grandma sees this because I’m stuck and can’t see and she takes a handful of sand and threw it in his face. I love my grandma

After that meal I would have stood up, laid into that entitled mom, dumped the girlfriend, and left the place. That’s absolutely disgusting behavior. I would be so embarrassed and ashamed of being with those people

Wow that mother....and her familly thinking that it's normal to act like that. Wow

H o l y shit! Never in my life have I ever heard of someone taking food from someone else’s table 💀 The entire family needs counseling lol I think it’s safe to say that dude is lucky that he didn’t marry into that mess 🤦🏻‍♀️

If that had been my kid she Assaulted, she'd have been taken out of the Park in a Body Bag. I have absolutely NO Sense of Humour or Restraint about protecting my Friends and Family. I have no fear of Prison - Free room and board, 3 free meals a day, free TV and books, free Education...so what if I can't go somewhere if I want to, I rarely leave my house as it is...

As to the story itself, the dad's stupidity actually strikes me hardest, and nobody ever comments on it.

The second guy was lucky imagine that woman in your life forever😥,also I've been looking for a story darkfluff did about a married man and woman where she is the owner of a house but her mother inlaw thinks it is her sons so she tries to take it, anyone know the video?

O M G the way that EM acted, I was so relived to hear the OP got out of that relationship. The sane people need sane people.

1st story) Lady assaulting a practical baby?? She wouldn't be getting up. Probably wake up in the ER. I grew up in the country. I don't have luxury of being "soft" with cowards who raise hands to tiny children. 2nd story) Dodged a bullet. That family is a downright nightmare and the stars aligned to show him what he was in for. I would've loudly exclaimed, "Oh, I am SO sorry for these workers for having to deal with RUDE and SNOTTY people. The level of ENTITLEMENT from some people--" I would let out a long rant while looking dead at them.

In the second story a 6 year old was a better person than both the mom and his fiance combined

That was a lucky escape for that dude. Dark Fluff Thankyou.

The splashing story? I witnessed a similar incident many years ago (long before the days of cellcams) My wife and I were enjoying watching a little girl splashing around in a pond in the local park. She was having so much fun my wife went over to join in. Me and the little girls mother were having a great laugh at watching the little girl and my wife. Some entitled jerk comes along and starts shouting at both my wife and the little girl, for apparently no reason other than he doesn't like anyone enjoying life. Suddenly the guy grabs the little girl and pulls her out of the pond, screaming and shouting at her. Before any of us adults could do anything, this kid of about 15 or so just grabbed the guy and proceeded to kick the shit out of him. When things eventually calmed down (the man being arrested for assaulting a minor), the kid just turned to me and said, "I have a sister about that little girls age, and I would hate to see someone to that to her". I handed him £20 and told him to have a good dinner on me.

“Honestly officers, I slipped on a rock trying to get to my child that woman pushed into the pond. That’s how she ended up in the pond.”🤪

2:11 I'm sorry but my culture prohibits me from interacting with schweinehunds

ohhhh as an indian we guys are so authentic at hands dismissals lol

OP in story #2 dodged one HELL of a bullet!! imagine being related to that woman for the rest of your life!!

Omg..OP dodged a hail full of bullets seeing how her mom was reacting at the restuarant...

I busted out when the old lady immediately knocked the potatoes on the ground. Hilarious.

The crazy german woman reminded me of when i was 10 maybe 11 Two of my cousins and i were playing in a drainage ditch in southern California and these kids started throughing durt clods at us. I pick one up and through it back hiting one in the forehead he started crying and ran home his dad showed up as we were leaving. Wanting to know who hit his kid we told him they through clods at us and we just thought them back. He said he didn't care so one of the boys with his son told him i through the clod. So he came up and grabbed me by the shoulder and started wanting to know where i lived my cousin told him to leave me alone and i told him to go get my Dad and he started to run get my Dad. The boy with the man tried to stop Adam my cousin and got layed out Adam was a football player and give him a beautiful strait arm. The guy started draging me after Adam i got my legs tangled with his and down he went. As we got up i managed to give him a strait arm that smashed into the base of his stick shifter and split him ball bearings he let go of me and i hauld but out of there. Dad met me and picked me up in the pickup and we went home a different direction and seen him walking and he seen me. Dad slowed a little but didn't stop about 10 mins. after we get home the guy comes down the alley and in to the back yard dad meets him the guy called me a little sob and his but hit the dirt. Dad backed up so he could get up asked him if he had anything else to say so he told dad what i did to him. My Dad said good i tought him right how to take care of himself. The guy smiled and said he sure did that and truned and left. Dad came over to me put his hand on my shoulder told me everything the guy said then told me i did it right. He love telling this story. It was in 1961 or 1962

4:04 that hand wave has the power of a thousand suns.

I can’t believe how crazy some people are! Yes run run run from that family!

First story: That's when you busy out the biggest nerf supersoaker you can find and start hosing Karen down

Took the potatoes off the old lady’s table?! And her family saw nothing wrong with that behavior?! They are brainwashed!

if would have IMMEDIATELY told them to splash as much as possible for 30 seconds, then get out of the water. 'We are going for ice cream'

That poor little girl is going to grow up so messed up, with a family like that. Dude got a lucky break, not marrying into that family!

As an Indian child that wave is the most common thing you get from an Indian parent when you ask for something unreasonable Also I've been listening to you stories for the last whole night

I sure the hell would, she would have hit that water so fast

If I was that waiter, I would have gotten my manager a lot sooner. That was too much!

That first woman should be thankful that a National Park Ranger was not nearby. They do not tolerate that sort of behavior.

I Dark Fluff! It was my birthday yesterday, and I love your channel. Been subscribed for a month and am having to scroll through entitled people stories to find new ones.

second story....that right there is a narc mom. OP is definitely better off not joined to that family. His ex learned to just deal with it out of a sense of survival. Too bad she wasn't willing to stand up in the name of decency. He really did dodge a bullet.

I would have died of embarrassment if I were OP. I'm so non confrontational in restaurants that if it is a minor problem, I just let it go and if it is a major problem I apologize more than the waiter for being troublesome. Seeing someone I am eating with get food off a stranger's table would probably cause me to just pay my part of the bill and leave.

Wow! That mom is WAY out of control!

Shes lucky it wasn't my kid, the vid sure wouldnt have ended like that

It's like these people don't realize that at restaurants it takes about 30-ish minutes for the food to get served.

Lmao "How cheap do you have to be to not believe in tipping."

The restaurant story just goes to show what a good idea it is to inspect the prospective in-laws thoroughly before there's any commitment. There are a lot of animals out there!

Back of a police car? Police: Did you body check this women? Father: No I rescued my son, if that means going through the person that assaulted him, you can bet your ass I would.

11:30 Man, I probably would've broke up, gave the waiter an apology and at least $20, and left without another word before it got to this point.

the part with the bills....i would have pulled a 20, handed it to the waiter and left. i'd break up the next time i talked to her.

That fiancee story was really a gift from God! Thankfully he got to witness it _before_ he got married to the next "Ellen". I was embarrassed just listening to it. That tip trick in the table would of sent me over the edge. That's beyond entitled while being cheap.. Glad he dodged that bullet

Oh yeah. She would've had facetime with the bottom of that pool. Of course after distracting her kids with a puppy or something cute. Just so they weren't traumatized by their mom taking an unscheduled bath.

I work as a waiter in an italian restaurant and i hate when people say they want a "child appropriate" menu, like seriously what is not appropriate for children about Italian food?

The last one... I think OP dodged a bullet here. It might hurt at first, but that family... Ugh.

People hurting kids makes my blood boil, if i witnesses a kid being hurt like that i would go full nuclear on the attacker and risk prison.

And that guy who slapped the customers drinks off the tables as he left in a huff HASN’T been back to that restaurant - because the police arrested him !

That's right. Nobody messed with my children

I am SO glad that dude didn’t marry into that RIDICULOUS family. The girlfriend AND the husband were completely compliant with her absolutely ridiculous and disgusting behavior.

The “Ellen” story!! Oh My FREAKING God. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 I’ve been listening to, and reading these entitled stories, and I have to say that THIS story is waaaaaaaay up there with some of the worst entitled behaviour that I’ve EVER come across. I’m so impressed by the server remaining cool. Honestly, OP lasted a lot longer than I would have. My second hand (and direct) embarrassment and anxiety would have been too much for me to take. I would have excused myself, left the table, apologised to the server and staff, tipped the server privately and left. Unbelievable, the audacity of the woman. My Goodness. I’d be absolutely mortified and I could NOT just sit there.

Cant get arrested for slipping and pulling her into the pond with you lol

I laughed and laughed at the telling of the horrible rude potential mother in law and her family quiet acceptance of it. The only one that seems to have any social sense was the six year old. He dodged a bullet big time with this family. The girlfriend not being able to connect the dots with the fact they were the ones being kicked out boggled my mind.

Second OP dodged a bullet

I wonder if people who act like that in restaurants realize how much spit and floor dirt "accidentally" gets into their food?

7:28 hay Jane Doe, not every resident in existence has a kids menu, it's an up scale steak house, not applebees.

If that had been my child she splashed like that, they would have needed cops to separate us.

I found myself getting physically angry at the second story, that woman is insane.

If those people think that is bad service, I've seen worse. My family would drive from Kansas to Florida to visit my grandparents most summers. Once, while traveling through Louisiana, we stopped at a Denny's for dinner. It took FOREVER just to get any service. Patrons who showed up after we did were already eating and even paying before they even brought drinks. My parents had finally had enough and we ended up with donuts from the nearby convenience store. This was nearly twenty years ago and I have never seen such awful service since that mess.

15 or 20 minutes without service is inexcusable at even the shittiest restaurant. That said, I too ended an engagement where my future FIL was a huge factor (and was super rude to service staff), so I get it. That guy dodged a huge bullet.

And I love you too Random Citizen.

Restaurant story. If that Karen took my food I would spit in it then give her the 1 or 2 finger salute.

4:30; The Karen needs to go back to her own home. What she did was unacceptable.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m one of the listeners. You know the joke, she woke up and chose violence. My friends ask if I woke up and chose peace ☮️

It always gets me when shitty customers yell things like “I’m never coming back here” or “you’re losing my business” as though it’s some kind of threat. We all know the staff are thinking “good, we don’t want you here.” Naturally, self-entitlement comes with an inflated sense of self-importance, but it definitely betrays their loose grasp on reality and their total lack of self-awareness.

I think OPshoukd used a thank you note to his EX-fiances mom for saving him from her family. Pretty sure he won't have a problem going back to that restaurant sans that toxic family.
