Middle-aged opinion - You can’t sit with us

Episode Date: April 30, 2025

Today we talk about stories of I do work here I don’t work here and I have to say the stories were not written in and we won’t be doing this ready again although we did have a giggle because the stories were so ridiculous. We hope you enjoy it, even though the stories are not all that.

Wow, what do you think of that? What don't you think of that? Well I think that girl has got everything that she deserves. Can you do that? Even though I broke my toe plumbing in the dishwasher. Well you've already got your first story. Yeah, it wasn't even a big deal, it was just I just dropped it on my foot. I can't believe you did that. I can't believe you did that. I can. I mean, I'm saying I can't believe it but... There's fucking dog hair everywhere now.

She hasn't been up here. She... she has. Can you stop picking on her please? She's everywhere. You're picking on her. Oh mate. She's been everywhere. She's like a plague.

You mean we're alone? Plague on both of our houses. Have you got a dog? Who me? Is this the dog's do-by? I feel like it was the other day. I'm like just get off. I can't hold. You can go alone. And then I'm like I feel like her hair is in me.

In me. Yeah. It did. Well I had a pain in my foot and I'm like that's it. I've got an ingrown hair because of her now. Yeah did you get the hair out? That happened to me with Cookie all of a sudden. There was a one.

Yeah. I'm like I'm going to go and get a new one. I'm going to go and get a new one. I'm going to go and get a new one. I'm going to go and get a new one. I'm going to go and get a new one. I'm going to go and get a new one. I'm like that's it I've got an ingrown hair because of her now yeah did you get the hair out that was a cookie all the time there wasn't one I was in the foot and I was like how is that they're like needles yes I can't see! Like my hair hurts man.

I don't know what to do with my hair tomorrow. Washing it would be a start. Well I'm going to wash. I'm going to have to shave my legs. Which I mean they ain't that bad. They're not like I've got months or anything. I do I think you should wear a jess. A jess? I'd love to wear a jess.

Yeah and a jess is a good thing. I think it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing. my legs which I mean that they're not bad they're not like I've got months or anything I do I think you wear a Jess a Jess I love a Jess yeah and a denim jacket and you need to make a more more of an effort yeah I'm gonna put lashes on okay yeah I do that when i go out anyway lashes and nails and full face and actually look half decent i'm sure you know above half you'll look fully decent got to you will i have a shower in the morning don't really know what to do with my hair

but i'd say wave it but you haven't done the perm thing yet yeah so I did get my black dye which has finally colored what was stripped okay so which I thought would be the case but they've actually changed their formula okay which is fine it's just it's a different formula so I was like oh mate is it gonna be as good as the other formula a panic yeah they've changed the the girl as well and they've changed the name what I use so I was like here we go yeah well once it said black at the end I thought it don't matter what tone it's got underneath but I go for the blue tone okay so but black hair dye has every color in the whole color chart on it

and that is why it's such a fucker to get out not that i'm getting it out who could be bothered with that like me no i can't even be bothered with that not me no can't even be bothered to brush my hair without dying it. I should put it in my cap and then up during the day with a clip at the front. Cap is life. I can't I was completely uncomfortable now without the cap. Can't wait till we're both walking around Buckleys in the morning. It's going to be a real thing. With our caps on. Hi, good morning. Maybe we should get one for Sarah. Yeah, just so she's got one. So she can join in. I can't recommend caps enough mate. Caps is life. Get this life. Don't you find the difference in your hair though about having to like brush out a thousand knots? yes yes all the way down to paranormal what we started with

your one and then I'll record on mine because I'm kicking you out now in your head what? I'm kicking you out the podcast is in your head now learning all the tricks of the trade no I'm not saying you didn't know and then you're like doing it but I'm kicking you out of the podcast in your head now. Learning all the tricks of the trade. No, I'm not saying you didn't know and then you're like doing it, but I'm saying like taking over. Oh, I'll do this one. Well, to be fair, you do a lot of that stuff and it just feels fair that I like and I didn't... You do loads of stuff. You do loads of stuff. But I feel like...

You're so proactive constantly I feel like when I I didn't mind putting the podcasts together it was quite nice yeah and putting in the pictures and all that but that's a different circumstance in the fact that obviously I'd put it together in my head mentally so putting the pictures in where I needed them and I added quite a lot of pictures to be fair like even when I didn't need to add a picture I added one to give people visual. Create the visual. Yeah a lot of Yosef because I think that's the face that should haunt people's dreams like mine. Honestly yeah it did

stick with me I said like I was saying to jenna yesterday i feel like i got all calm about it and then i watched the post you sent me last night and i said for fuck's sake i had 30 tiktoks from you i better watch them what did i say did i say oh yeah yeah you did yes and i was like and you know now i see the clips i haven't watched the film in a while i'm just like well man it was so much worse so she in that in the film. It's actually four kids She has obviously they show the one that died and then one goes upstairs So but yeah, man, and obviously they've done it in America Mm-hmm, so

But yeah, the whole thing is so fucked up honestly And she didn't have they put a boyfriend in the film and I was like obviously she didn't have a boyfriend so. No, she created a relationship later on didn't she? Later on, yeah. So I don't know why that was added but obviously. Safe to do so. Yeah, my dad said maybe it's something to do with being able to release the film.

They had to change certain parts and make it better than it was. I worry everyone's going to think that I'm like the film was great but that's not what I mean. I mean they had to create entertainment. Yeah but also reduce the true story because that's just too horrific. I tell you who I am going to do as we go forward in our true crimes. I want to do the family that had the, I want to say eight kids and nobody knew that they had kids. It's a fascinating story. I've forgotten what they're called. I feel like I know this one. Yeah, it's not that it's not that long ago. And then you've got obviously you've got the story of eight passengers that's very recent as well.

Eight passengers? Yeah so she had a YouTube channel and she earned fucking thousands and thousands but the whole time she was abusing the kids so badly and then her and her husband split up they're Mormons nothing to do with being a Mormon I'm just saying she was a Mormon, and then the family split up and she was in a lesbian relationship in my opinion. So this lesbian that she was with, I mean they haven't said that they were but it's my opinion that they were, was like the counselor of the church or whatever and they got together and the youngest two were so

badly abused that the little boy managed to escape went to a neighbor and that is how the whole case broke but if you look at the clips from the YouTube the YouTube that they had out the abuse was there the whole fucking time and I'm just like yeah people just just kind of overlooked it all like well she's just strict but you it was so obvious obviously I didn't follow him so I didn't know it went till it broke that I'm like wow man that'll be another anything to do with kids and that it makes me really fucking sad so we'll make sure that we're not due on that week because that was emotional. Oh great.

Right. Are you ready? You got it up? Yeah. Yeah baby. I feel like yours are going to be way better than mine. Now. It's your fault. It is. You should have texted me. I told you to text me if you changed your mind. I didn't change my mind. But you did because you went to a different subreddit. Well it was coming up with it. Yeah mine came up and then I went and... You just skipped with the ones that said no. No because it's an actual reddit itself.

I do work here lady. Oh it was a bit poor. It was just a bit like I don't understand what you're so upset about. I think I've got one good one. Okay. Alright, ready? Yeah. Hello everyone and welcome to Middle-aged Opinion. I'm your host Ellie and I'm your host Emily and today we are looking at I work here lady, I don't work here lady yeah about working here lady something about working somewhere yeah do you know what I noticed as well on the true crime podcast is you forgot to say it and I'm your host Emily

did I? yeah was I not involved? yeah but I don't know why because you weren't going to do anything and I was like no you weren't I feel like I did say it no it wasn't until I put it together that I realized and I thought this fucking div. You had one job. Welcome I'm your host and it's about Josef Fritzl. That's all you had to do. Yeah but I did say that.

You just said that bit you forgot saying I'm your host Emily. I was so fixated on saying it right. I was like we've not long sighted fucking implementing that. Like the least you could do is say it. Do you know what I mean? And I think we should give a shout out to one and that's not gonna come out to after but I feel like it's important Yeah, well, he's your bestie You start Okay more obviously Because I just spoke to him. But yeah, our friend is doing a marathon a marathon. He would have done, no he's done the full London marathon. 26.2 miles. Yes and he's two steps ahead of everyone else. We'll put a picture of him.

We'll put a picture of him. He's got clown feet without the shoes. But in all honesty, good luck and don't cheat yourself. I do. He was like, I did a practice 20 mile run. Yeah. I was like, you want to get a life mate. I practiced 20 mile run. I just finished the main course. Every day before London to Brighton I did 10 but I did not do anything over that. No I did 8. And that was it. That's why I nearly died. Yeah every day I'd be like oh babe by the time so where we had started and then by the time we got back up to us that was we had reached just over 10 and my body was like okay Cole that's great like just go up there and that's where you live and I was like no no we've got just another 40 miles left 45 miles left come on but literally that but when we were getting up to mine and then my chain popped off and I was like I could go home

we were getting up to mine and then my chain popped off and I was like I could go home. I could go don't fix it don't fix it and then Courtney was like I'm doing it babe! Fix the fucking chain I was like aww because I could have gone bye guys it's such a shame oh no. Yeah it's just not in your nature there's no way you would ever have done that. I know it was a very mental thing for me. You started it therefore... I was gonna finish it. It was definitely a mental challenge over everything else. Yeah. Well, it was a physical challenge. It was physical but for me I make that sort of thing. It's like I'm going back and forwards in my head with me. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like we're in a fucking dispute and I'm like, no!

And then my head's like, please go home. Please go home! But yeah, man. So yeah, he's doing the marathon this weekend. Yeah, this is the marathon weekend. Do you think we're gonna do the marathon? Nope. Why?

Why would we do the marathon? Why would we do 12 hours of going round and round on an obstacle course? Same reason. Because that's got obstacles. Oh I said to Jenna about that one where you get the train, you do that walk thing and then you get the train home with fish and chips and she was like yeah that actually sounds really good. Yeah it's a day out. It's not a real like... No it will still be like yeah we'll still be like oh but it will definitely be more fun yeah we're popping into the into the sea we get some budgie smugglers because I feel like it's just the way forward but yeah forward but yeah I watched a second another one saying guys but they don't like a second rule on it and part of it he's like we wanted to see and the Aussie

guys that were with us didn't realize how cold the British sea where he said we're called embudschies smugglers but he looked like we were actually smuggling hummingbirds. I was just like little worms. Bless them. It is cold off sea. It is cold. But you know we are alright with that. We're used to it. Do you know some people never go down to the sea ever in their whole entire lives? Can you imagine that? That's sad. It is sad. It's like a mental life. Yeah, I feel like it's like a mental thing bobbing it.

Yeah. Right, go. Otherwise we're gonna be here till tomorrow. Alright. So... I don't work here lady is where I went. Yeah. Didn't tell anyone about it just did it yeah not to cruise line employee I don't know what the M means medium medium I don't know what's medium medium size story it's really not. Anyway, whatever. Stop arguing, Reddit. Email them. You're wrong. On the first day of a cruise my husband was so tired from a work sprint

that wrapped up just before our vacation that he wanted to nap during dinner. I went to dinner with the rest of the family then made him a plate of food for the buffet. I boarded the elevator to take me down to the deck and was holding the plate. Middle-aged couple tried to help themselves to his plate but I pulled the plate away and said excuse me. They laughed and tried again. I dodged them a second time and clarified that the plate was not for sharing. A second later I had a thought that they may have just been that naive and explained I was a guest taking my

husband a plate and they roared with laughter. They thought the cruise was so luck so luxe that they even had people in elevators feeding the guests. Oh my god. It ended more light-hearted than I expected and I still think of that experience fondly. I have learnt to get a cover if bringing food to the room because of that incident. What a weird thing to do. Really weird. Really weird. No matter where you're from that's bizarre behaviour. And rude?

Weird. It's rude. Why would you take food off somebody else's plate? Yeah, there's nothing that indicates or even if she was a member of staff she clearly is taking food to somebody. Weird. Very weird. Weird but I was just like oh that's weird. The top comment was I was a guest lecturer on a high end cruise line. My husband and I got a two week luxury cruise for the cost of me giving three 45 minute lectures and his airfare but they gave me a name badge so everyone thought I was a cruise line employee and kept asking me where the bathrooms were on the ginormous ship. At least they were all understanding when I

explained that I didn't actually work for the cruise line. She made that a bit about her. Yeah, that is just infuriating the fact that they tried to grab some food without even asking. Yeah, we did. Like they to grab some food without even asking. Like they just think the food is for them. I find it bizarre that they would... Yeah, it's weird isn't it? Yeah.

Someone says suppose you had been staffed and were delivering room service. I don't think the person who ordered it would have been happy to find half their food missing. Yeah. And who just puts their hands in something like that? Even if it was like a buffet or something you're meant to like take it with like grabbers. It's disgusting. Yeah it was so weird. Not okay. Right. Go on. College? No. No no Ellie no. Community College. Cop tries to write me a ticket for parking where I'm supposed to. Okay? Okay. I'm fresh out of my master's program and pretty much walked into a teaching gig at the local Community College.

One thing to note about me is I'm pretty baby faced. One day I had to come in and sub for another instructor. I was limping at the time due to a bad sprain in my ankle and leaning on a crutch. I had my parking permit on my car and parked in a faculty bay blissfully close to the door as I'm getting out the cop sees me I see him and just give him a small nod knob as well. We're so immature. And start to get out my car. The parking lot next to my car was full of student cars. Riddled with bright pink tickets as I get my crutch out. What is happening? Northern crutch. Anyway, the cop yells, you can't park there. I look around to see who he's talking to and realize it was me.

Yeah, I can. Look, just because you're on crutches and need to be close to the door doesn't mean that you can park in that spot. It's for faculty. I am faculty, I said, frustrated at having to stand and argue. He snorted. I rolled my eyes and started to walk into the building. I turn round and see him to start taking down the information on my vehicle. He got to the front window to place the ticket and froze. Inside of the window was my faculty parking pass. Wild right. He stopped for a minute, stares blankly, rips up the ticket and throws it away.

Guy must have felt like a right jackass. Don't judge books by their cover. What a jackass. What a jackass. What a nub. What a jackass. What a jackass. What a nub. She should have hit him with her crutch. She's just about to say there, I think I'm talking too much. Yeah, just a dickhead. I mean if she said that she is, he could have walked over without starting to write up the ticket right he was just being a prick yeah like proper jobs were yeah exactly and let me see top comment clearly you had you just need to tweet I don't know what that's meant to mean right I got the same thing before being a 22 female going to a veterinary hospital for

children at the treatment. What's happening the campus cops were always telling me staff could park there one actually threatened to tow my car on a day I was having some major dental surgery he was sitting in the drive by the entrance where I was leaving I just stood in front of the car and bloodily drooled going down my chin until he noticed she made that about her but yeah while strolling but yeah okay I don't work here lady vacation edition good old vacation I could really go on a holiday take me on holiday can't you like get with someone rich take one

for the team and that I mean we've discussed it before. I feel like taking on for the team with a rich guy would be... I'll do it! But did you hear my stomach? I haven't eaten yet today. See everyone agrees. Take on for the team Emily. But for some reason richness equals you not thinking I should get an old man. Sorry do you see any young rich bachelors anywhere because wherever I go... we're gonna have stuck going up London. I can't afford to. Yeah but we just walk past Harrods or somewhere. Just go standing Mayfair. Quickly just keep passing backwards and forwards outside the front of the store. Oh one had seemed to have lost her purse! Something like that. Is that how you pick up old men? No, how did I get poor?

Think about rising his face. Rising his face, I did, that was the first thing I thought when I saw him. Of course, sit on that face, I thought. I haven't been since. Moving on. You brought it up. So are you, mm. So I'm on vacation with my family. The hotel we are staying at has a nice free breakfast.

It has one of those waffle machines as well. We walked down to eat breakfast. I'm wearing Batman lounge pants and a t-shirt. I make everyone a waffle because dads are the best. Really because I don't want the kids to start pushing each other around hot matter. Okay and after I hand the waffles I finally make mine and start to sit down. When I hear I'd like two waffles, obviously I ignore it and sit down with my family. The lady follows me and says, crazy lady, did you hear me? I said I want two waffles. Me? Yeah I heard you. The breakfast self-service you have to make it yourself. Crazy lady. I just saw you hand

out waffles to these people. Get off your bus and do your job. Me? These people are my family. I don't work here. I'm on vacation just like you crazy lady listen here lazy crazy lady's kid look mommy he's wearing Batman pants she looks down sees my pants it finally clicks and she starts making her breakfast her husband walks up afterwards and tells me he's sorry and offers to buy me a friend lunch on him he hands me a 20 and says sorry again so the first time I corrected a second time when I said who you talking to bitch she was rude she was so rude she would have been called a bitch mate really loudly in front of everyone. Absolutely outrageous. Don't understand how these people go to yes

you do you're just being lazy after being told directly I don't work here. So bizarre right? You'll clearly say I don't work here jog on and leave me alone this is my family no it's not I know you idiot mate right humbled for what I was clearly I don't know why I can't talk I get like this sometimes right I feel like my ponytail is too tight anyway I was clearing glasses from tables I approached this group of men at a table and collected their empty pint glasses they had an empty chair which I swerved past to get access to the table. They must have not seen my uniform or me holding glasses. The group gave me a weird look and one of them said in a sneaky tone,

You can't sit here. I truly, a truly humbling experience. Listen I don't know what to tell you I really struggled to find stories. I don't want to sit here thank you. Yeah you're good. Yeah. Oh. Rude. Although I'd been like sorry why would I want to sit with you skank. Why are these people so rude? They're so rude Someone said you can't sit here. Fortunately. You don't want to sit there You can't sit with us. You mean girls literally mean girls, isn't it? And then someone said wouldn't want to anyway, I feel like most of my stories are like this I think I might have licked it and said I licked it. I own it. Yeah, it's mine

Oh on the table I think I might have licked it and said I licked it, I own it. Yeah, it's mine. On the table. Then I would have let you sit there. I would have gone, okay. But like we're gonna get along. That really hurt that ponytail. I don't know if it's because I washed it yesterday. How do you do it?

Go on. Magic. People at this store... What? My head, man. I'm like, what? What's wrong? And I'm like, ohhhh. You know sometimes the ponytail...

I don't know, it might be the dye or whatever it is, but my head was like, oh head was like that's what he was doing you made a comment earlier about washing my hair I'm not being funny my hair is actually clean it's just a jug. At least brush it have you got conditioner yet? No. Fucking hell who ain't got conditioner? I'm gonna go outside one day with the Sun it's just gonna go or it's gonna snap you need conditioner to close the cuticles how many times have I got to tell you this straw head this isn't the wizard of all yeah you're not in an audition okay sorry definitely not as excited as some people stories here but this is the first time this has happened so I thought I'd like to contribute.

For context my dad owns a garage and I work for him at the moment. I'm not a mechanic but I help out in the shop and in the office and I also do a lot of picking up and dropping off parts which is what I was doing today. So today my dad sent me to Princess Auto to pick up a floor jack. I had just received it, it was heavy and they gave me and they had given me sorry a cart to take it across the store and was walking to the other side of the store, past the front door towards the checkouts when an old man and his wife, presumably, walked through the doors. He turned to me and immediately started telling me,

I need this, this, this and this. And I had to cut him off with, dude, I don't work here. He stopped and looked at me for a second and said, oh I just thought you worked here because of your outfit. I was wearing my coveralls which I suppose I like. Painting like a painting thing yeah. Like no then I walked away and that then I walked away and that was where was the end of that but let me list it off here and that was the end of it but let me talk more about it okay I was pushing a shopping cart the shopping cart had one item in it I was wearing cover is that the bird oh no it was Hattie's foot oh I was wearing coveralls which is not

the princess auto uniform and even if it had been they don't say princess auto anywhere on them in fact they their secondhand coveralls so they actually say something like Dave Gravel and sand on the front pocket I feel like he's taking it too seriously it was just a mistake yeah like calm down Wow somebody from my garage wearing coveralls shopping at an auto parts store who'd have fucking thought it that's what I'm saying calm down it was it was literally not a big deal. And there's a quick edit that I just occurred to him. Oh yeah. Oh yeah! I was hit cover on!

Just roll. I'm gonna put this in. I am a youngish, early mid-tws woman so perhaps due to his age it was easier for him to conceive me working at in a store than at a coveralls job. This is pure speculation though. I don't know I feel like she's overthinking everything at this point. Nothing is happening. Turn on Na-good. We're okay. Strangers think anything. We're okay. Everybody is safe. I was like, God, Mark's safe on Facebook.

Yeah. It's okay. From the mechanics. But yeah, like honestly, I mean, when I was trying to find the stories, I was like, did you really take the time to write this down? Yeah.

Are these your problems? because if they are you're doing exceptionally well right? I was like these can't be your problems. they're not your problems. but yeah yeah just says people not paying attention. my guess is that the old man went Mr Magoo on you also known as forgot his glasses. yeah like relax. but yeah. that. this is a wild story. yeah!

i didn't really think it was that wild but this person also took the time to come to reddit and tell everyone. yes and we love a wild story. a wild story. so for context I it's hey I work at an art and craft store as someone who is major majorly in arts and has a hobby in arts I tend to shop there as well so I was clearly clocked off and me and my mum were shopping and I decided I wanted some new markers. My bosses don't mind that I take the keys and unlock the cabinet they're in. So I do so now our uniform is

typically a red shirt or a vest. However, the things however, the things is when I go However, the things is when I go to put them back near the register, when I go to put the markers back, which she forgot to include, near the register, the lady asks if I can help her and just kind of frees up on not knowing how to respond. I wasn't wearing my vest, just car keys and a jacket with a animal t-shirt. Thankfully my co-worker behind the register offered to help her. When I was just about to respond I probably would have said I do work here but I'm off the clock. What can I do to help you?

But I was just stunned. stunned. wow they're like cry cry. it's out of control. calm down people. what's happening to the world That's taking your breath away You don't even know what to do after that story Has that changed how you see everything? I was stunned. Someone said excuse me, it was out of control. Wild. Weirdest day at work so far. Wild. I mean, it's something to tell the grandkids. You imagine. Oh, you're right, Em. Now fucking guess what happened today.

It was fucking crazy. Are you sitting down? Are you sitting down now? Because this woman went, excuse me. I just froze, Em. I didn't let my vest on. I froze for real. I froze. because this woman with shoespare

I just froze emily I didn't let my vest on I froze for real I froze I'm never doing this Reddit again I almost fell asleep reading these stories yesterday oh yeah we've got another story from someone as the top comment so I'm gonna read it for her. I wonder a bit I don't think you can top. Let me just I don't know if I'm ready for another one. Yeah you need a drink before. Go on I'm not. I don't think it's gonna top her story but let's find out. As what is essential, the face of retail store.

By face I mean, I have the most hours out of the non-management employees. Is this OP? No. I have the most time, the job other than the management. Customers ask for me by name etc. I on multiple occasions have been approached while doing something that that generally people would need help with but as an employee even off the clock one I can do myself most people take their oh I'm off the clock but if you say here I can have them

send someone over to help you really well it's just so fucking boring. I mean there's only a couple of responses and they're all saying the same. You know I used to work in Wilco and when I finished my shift I would often shop or even on my break I would get bits and bobs in my work uniform and someone would say, go for me and then I'd just go they're over there or I'd quickly show them and I never once came to Reddit or rung my friends with the news. None of it and I just don't know why I didn't at this

point. I feel like you miss something there if I not. I mean all these people could have been totally taken back by your story. I know. And felt that pain that you were in. Yeah. I mean the audacity. Yeah I will tell you a more interesting story. When I, before I worked at Wilco's I used to eat sweets from the little containers. The pick and mix. I used to buy the pick and mix and then I worked at Wilco and I will never ever have a pick a mix from anywhere ever again in my entire life because ill that's a more interesting story that is the most interesting story that I've read tonight. Go on. One hell of an assumption is it? We'll see. Based on your story you're working out.

I struggle mate, that was the best out of the fucking pic. So this story happened many years ago and they're saying roughly 2007 but still stands out to me as the most bizarre case of I don't work here lady. I feel like we should be the judge of that. Yeah. So one time I was in sports authority with my dad. Shut up. We were standing in browsing close to the front door when a young man walked in and a lady followed shortly after yelling excuse me excuse me sir I need to talk to your manager my manager yes your manager I'd like to talk to him about one of their employees driving what about my driving you drove the silver is that a sell sell liquor so the? silver car yeah we get it. silver whatever there you

you dangerously cut me off at the intersection and I want to make the manager aware of that the young man just scoffed and walked away I kind of wish the interaction had continued after that but the lady just went back to her car and that was that. Needless to say, he didn't work at the store, he wasn't even uniformed but the fucking nerve of the woman to think she can try and grab people, get people fired because they cut her off in traffic. It happens to literally everyone. But the most crazy thing to me was thinking that just

because a person is parking in a store, they probably work there. Talk about acting on I suspect they may have been racist attitudes to play to but mostly just a horrible old Karen. Someone else who wrote that song. I was like wow that's crazy dude! What an assumption. That's Cray-Cray! No! This was Emily's choice. Honestly, I'm a little bit not clear. You're going to have to do one more because it's a scene. We've only been doing it for 10 minutes. My kid, this is the top comment. My kid is small for her age. She was born fifth percentile. Percent percent percentile yeah you understand what that means?

Yeah it's the chart yeah and she was probably in second grade or so when a woman pulled over in a parking lot while I was loading my groceries to start screaming and cursing at me for letting my toddler open her own car door and buckle herself into her own car seat. I wound up calling the cops on her. It was one of the weirdest and most disturbing things I've experienced. Even if she had actually been four or five years old, what's wrong with a kid opening their own car door? She called the police? Yeah this woman was was verbally abusing her for letting her kid who was in second grade what's second grade that's what that's high school right? no no it's America but definitely older than four or five. Yes she just made an assumption. Yeah and then she's gone on

hang on and then someone else has gone also even if it was a toddler doing it when then what would the harm even be regardless of their hurt age the kid was doing something they were capable of and doing it skillfully it's not like the kid was trying to pull out seven or eight at the time out of fire or chase a dog into traffic oh everyone's really angry about this old lady anyways well next one I haven't got any more which you you need to finish us off okay with a good one we've done that one done that one done that one done that one have you done four oh yeah because you finish yeah with you yeah come let's try this one. How big is this one?

It's fine. Eh. Okay. Did you pre-read? Some of them. Okay. Because I read quite a lot and I was trying to find something half... Yeah. Decent.

Half decent too. It was a struggle. When we first... It wasn't this... I don't know what's happened. No. I feel like we really had a chuckle at this last time. Yeah, I feel like the world's maybe got a bit more stupid and people were just like, oh, someone said, do you work here? It was crazy. Whoa!

Yeah, I was on my break. So this one is, the owner of my work pulled the, I don't work here lady, on a customer. Okay. Fair play. So I used to work at a bar, the owner was an arse but he great to work for. He was a super super alcoholic and a great tipper. He had been permanently banned from every other bar in town which was why he bought the bar. Yeah, oh fuck. Makes sense. Alright.

Yeah. Can't go to that one's bar, bar my own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your city. Yeah. Ha ha ha. He had a policy that if he was drinking he wasn't the owner so if he got out of hand we could throw him out but not 86 or but not 86 or call the cops on him don't know what 86 means he's going to

the American thing now I I also would like to add that all he did was sign the checks he had nothing to do otherwise with the day to day of the bar other than drinking. To throw out, to get rid of. That's what 86 means. Okay. One morning I was opening the bar and typically the doors are unlocked an hour before we opened so regulars could come in and drink. They knew the bartender would be cleaning and stocking the bar and would just deal with small wait times to get the drinks or refill. The owner came in and didn't want to

wait for me to come out of the back so he went behind the bar and made himself a drink. He then went and sat at the bar, put money on the on a rubber mat. When I came out of the back with a few cases of beer I hear a woman going off on someone who I found out was the guy who signed my checks. She was going off about how horrible he was for drinking on the job and refusing to make her a drink he simply told her he didn't work there and went back to his drink when she saw me she immediately started complaining about him saying he wanted to speak that she wanted to speak to the owner or manager since I was the

only one there I told her she'd have to deal with me. She went on her... What's that say? To raid. I don't know where you are. Yeah, to raid. About him needing to be fired and then demanded a free drink for his rudeness and unwillingness to help her. I told her that wasn't going to happen and he didn't work here.

Then she decided to take it up a notch and said she knew the owner. Cue typical, you'll both be fired rant. Karen and the owner is shaking his head, laughing which made her madder. I called her bluff and told her to either shut up and order a drink or leave because I have things to do. Wow that's rude.

Still, she got huffy then demanded a tab trying to hand me a credit card. I informed her we were cash only but she was welcome to go pull money out of the ATM near the bathroom. That didn't make her happy so she decided to stomp out of the bar saying that she's taking her business elsewhere. The owner then asked for my keys and promptly locked the door behind her. As soon as he did that he came back and said I've never met that woman so you're definitely not fired. We had a good laugh. She did come back about 20 minutes later because there wasn't another bar open and got super pissed when my boss waved and went back to his drink.

She banged on the door for about five minutes. He then made me a sign to put on the glass door with the bar hours and she got in her car and sped off. I luckily never saw her again. Good way to deal with it. He probably just didn't want any nonsense babe. I mean I don't blame him for going, I don't work here. Yeah. I don't blame him. He just went in a bar to drink in. Yeah and

he's like do shut the fuck up. He was, he was like, stopped all the time. I'm an arsehole all by myself, I don't need you going on me. I know, do you know? No, I mean that is a common, do you know? I feel like I've never seen you before in my life. Dad do you know this woman? Yeah yeah I mean that would have been funny.
