Okay, Max, we have a new spot for Sunwing vacations. Okay, Sunwing Cyber Monday deals up to 40% off. Hang on, I think we got the wrong script. Yeah, it's 40% off, what's the issue? 40% off Cyber Monday vacation deals? Yes, why do you keep repeating me? 40% off? Huh, just think about what you could do with all those savings. I know, in fact it's in the script. When you save more, you can do more.

We're an entitled parent learns a lesson that just because the video's on YouTube does not mean that it's safe for kids. Our next reddit post is from Sijaga. My brother and I are not on the best of terms. I envy people with good relationships to their siblings because being around my brother is just draining. He seems to follow two very strict rules. The first is that he's always right, even when evidence is presented against him.

I swear the guy has developed immunity to logic and reason. The second rule he follows is that I am always wrong. Whatever I say, he has to argue against. It's obnoxious. Luckily, we no longer live in the same countries, so we see each other at most two times a year, which is barely tolerable. I recently traveled to my parents to celebrate Christmas, and so with my brother, his wife, and his two kids, maybe like two and five years old. We're all staying in my parents' house, and as you can imagine, it's rather crowded, and the noise level far exceeds that of what I'm used to. One morning, I wake up at around 8 a.m. My brother and his kids are already awake and eating breakfast. I decide

to browse Reddit on my phone for an hour just to avoid more interaction than I have to. When I finally decide to leave bed and have breakfast, my brother and his family have moved into the TV room. The TV is on and they're watching cartoons on YouTube. I make myself a sandwich and join them. My brother hands me the remote and says, just put on whatever the five-year-old is pointing at. I need to go to the bathroom. Okay, I can do that. Unlike his father, the five-year-old is actually pretty cool to be around. We browse child-friendly YouTube videos, eventually settling on Barney the Purple Dinosaur. By this point, my brother's returned. Eventually, the video ends and related videos pop up.

The kid is pointing at a video called Scientifically Accurate Barney the Purple Dinosaur. I've been browsing enough internet to know that this is not a child-friendly video. As a quick sidetrack for those who don't know, the video is basically about a cartoon dinosaur eating a bunch of kids. So it's pretty bloody, gory, and horrific, honestly. The conversation goes as follow.

Uncle, please put that one on. I don't think that's a good idea. How about another one? But I want to see that one. I, my brother interrupts me. Put that one on. He wants to see it. I really don't... Put it on. Trust me, it's... For God's sake, just put it on. Alright, but this one's on you.

I mentally prepare myself for the oncoming disaster as I place the remote on the table. Not more than 15 seconds into the video, the first images of cartoon gore is displayed. The two-year-old starts crying. The maternal instincts of my brother's wife kicks in and she starts yelling at my brother to turn it off. By this point, the video has reached the point where kids are starting to get killed. My brother finally manages to turn the video off. The 4-5-year-old kid, having seen forbidden content, is now throwing a tantrum over not

getting to see the entire video. My brother's wife does her best to come for the two-year-old, but she's crying her eyes out. Meanwhile, my brother is trying to end the tantrum of the other one. Despite the mayhem, all I can feel is total inner peace. Never has utter chaos been so satisfying. Finally, my brother turns to me and says, why would you put on that garbage? In a calm voice, I simply reply,

Because you told me to, But you knew what it was! And you didn't listen when I tried to warn you. You never tried to warn me? I sigh. At this point, I just leave. There's no winning this argument. After all, he's always right,

Even when the evidence is screaming otherwise. Opie, the appropriate follow-up would have been, okay kids, let's calm down, I know a much more child-appropriate video that we can watch. Let's watch this video on this cute, lovable bear called Freddy Fazbear. Our next red-appost is from Cart Queen. Many years ago, we lived in a rental house in a cul-de-sac. One of our neighbors refused to interact with us because we were only renters while she owned her house. Whenever

anyone parked in front of her house, she would demand they move their car because that was her parking spot. Well, one weekend, we were having a birthday party for our kid. We had to double park cars in our driveway to accommodate the extra vehicles and avoid parking in front of her house. This meant that two of our cars overlap the sidewalk a little. We were in a call to sack and kids playing the street all the time, so it didn't block anyone from walking past. Midway through the party, we have a couple of cops show up. Our neighbor called them to complain because her daughter couldn't ride her bike on the sidewalk due to our parking. She could have easily gone around the cars, and the cops agreed that it was

stupid, but technically it was illegal to park on the sidewalk and we had to move the cars. I told them that we had issues with the neighbor when we parked in front of our house, and they said street parking is public parking and free for anyone as long as the vehicle didn't remain there for an extended period of time. CUME A LITIOUS COMPLINANCE! We moved the double parked cars to in front of her house, and from then on, we always parked at least one of our cars in front of her house, even if there was room in our driveway. And we parked it in such a way to block any other cars from parking in front of her house. Down in the comments, we have a similar story from local initiative. My parents used to live in a street where someone religiously police the street parking in front of her house, being rude and aggressive and threatening to call the cops. Then my brother visited our parents. Our neighbor performed her usual act and my brother calmly told her

that street parking was completely legal. The neighbor threatened to call the cops on him. And then my brother pulled out his police badge and said, already here, man, is there anything I can help you with other than a complaint about completely legal street parking? That was the only time we ever saw her speechless. Our next reddit is from Kultkun. So Florida passed this awful bathroom law saying that people have to use the correct bathroom as listed on their birth certificates. I'm non-binary. I had some medical issues when I was young that were ignored by doctors and resulted in my reproductive organs and some intestines being removed. Then I pay to remove more stuff because why not? May as well eliminate a cancer threat?

I'm not on hormone replacement therapy. I'm just generally very androgynous looking right now. I don't really care what pronouns people use for me, and my wife switches my pronouns based on what's funny at the moment. At work, they told us they were enforcing the law strictly, and staff wouldn't just be disciplined, they'd get the cops called on them. Note, there is one gender neutral bathroom

in our building in the administrator's offices. You have to be buzzed in. Once they leave the office, you have to call a facilities person to let you in, and security has to watch you. I got reported for using the wrong restroom, despite the fact that it does conform with the gender on my birth certificates. This just goes to show how messed up this law is and how it's going to discriminate

entirely based on appearance. I was told that I was reported and I pointed out that I was following the law. I didn't get in any trouble. They said that I need to be mindful of what others perceive. CUME ALITIOUS COMPLIENCE! I have exclusively started using the admin restroom wasting multiple people's time. I press the buzzer and make someone let me in. I already launched a complaint about the time that it took someone to answer and how

withholding access to a bathroom could be an OSHA violation. I make sure to go after admin hours so security and facilities have to come up and report it. I plan to complain any time I wait more than 5 minutes for them to arrive. Whenever we close and I'm working the floor, I say that I can't clean any of the restrooms so the manager on duty has to find another person to stop their closing duties to do that. Because I helpfully remind them that one manager can't check both bathrooms or we'd have to call the cops on them. Many of my co-workers are enjoying this. It helps that we're now getting 15 minutes of overtime because of this. After confronting me on why I'm using the admin's bathroom, a member of admin said that they're now looking into how they can change our existing bathrooms to be gender neutral. I said great, but I'm still gonna use your bathroom until then. Some other co-workers have said that they're doing the same.

It's still a stupid law, but with enough annoyance, I may be able to at least change our district. Okay, Max, we have a new spot for Sunwing vacations. OK. Sunwing Cyber Monday deals up to 40% off. Hang on, I think we got the wrong script. Yeah, it's 40% off. What's the issue? 40% off Cyber Monday vacation deals?

Yes, why do you keep repeating me 40% off? Huh. Just think about what you could do with all those savings. I know. In fact, it's in the script. When you save more, you can do more. For daily door crashing deals, visit your local travel agent, or... The Sea-A-A!

Our next Reddit post is from whatever bro. I work at a sucky fast food place and because I'm so young, sadly, I can't get a different job yet. A couple of days ago, I was throwing up a lot. I had a shift to work from 5 to 12, and I'd already called out this month. I called my boss telling him that I couldn't come in because I was throwing up.

His exact words were, we have plenty of trash cans and a bathroom. See you at 5. Then he hung up. I was very mad, but also I'm a very petty person, so I thought, okay, bet. And I went to work. I was obviously not feeling well, and everyone could tell when I got there. My boss put me on the line making food and told me to push through it. I worked for about 30 minutes before I started getting nauseous. I waited until right before I was about to puke, ran to my boss hunched over and threw up right on his shoes.

Multiple customers saw this and started gagging. I looked up to my boss, smiled and said, I couldn't make it to the trash can. Sorry! Let's just say that he allowed me to go home. Oh man, that is disgusting. She guys know the story of Typhoid Mary. I mean, you've probably heard the name. Typhoid Mary is a pretty famous person, but her story is so bad. It's double bad. There's a twist ending. Okay, let me just tell you guys. So Typhoid Mary had typhoid, but she was an asymptomatic carrier,

which means even though she had the disease, she had no symptoms. And if you don't know, typhoid is a pretty nasty illness. If you get it, you could straight up die. Typhoid Mary worked as a maid slash cook for a bunch of rich people. And after she started working, a bunch of rich people and family members

and even servants of these rich people started getting sick and some of them literally died from typhoid. Eventually someone hired an investigator to figure out why all these people were getting typhoid and he traced the origin back to typhoid Mary. He approached and was like, Hey, look, you're the common link. I'm pretty sure you're giving everyone typhoid. So let's take you to the hospital and figure out what's going on. And she's like, no, she threatened them with a knife. So eventually this investigator just escalated the situation and got her actually arrested taken to the hospital. And that's when people discover that you can have typhoid and not have symptoms like typhoid Mary.

So they explained to Mary, okay, look, you've got typhoid, you're giving people typhoid, you cannot work with food anymore. So after her quarantine, she was released and you want to guess what she did after she was quarantined, she changed her name and became a cook. You want to know what happened after that? She kept changing her name and changing her jobs and continued working as a cook to avoid the investigators and the authorities who were trying to track her down. She even, oh my, this is so bad, she even worked at a hospital where she got 25 people sick and 2 people died. That led the investigators to find her and they arrested her a second time. And you guys ready for the plot twist, the horrible twist ending of this story?

Do you know how typhoid is spread? It's not by coughing, it's not by skin-to-skin contact, it's not by blood. No, it's passed along through diarrhea. So that means the way this woman infected people was by taking a radioactive dump that was full of disease, not washing her hands, and then cooking and serving people poopy food. So, uh, oh man, it's so bad. That's what their term typhoid Mary comes from.

And I feel like it's a very well earned name. If you're going around killing people with your poop food, then you deserve a name like typhoid Mary. Our next Reddit post is from Renaissance Fartist. I used to work in a training center for a Fortune 500 company. When class wasn't in session, the building normally only had four people in it. Me, the boss, and two trainers. I called in sick two days in a row because I had a nasty lung infection. On the second day, my boss starts ranting at me about how kids these days have no discipline and I haven't taken a sick day in over nine years

I tried asking if he wanted me to get a doctor's note But he was pretty adamant about me coming in the next day He said that he can decide if I'm actually sick and that he can send me home I was one of the few women working in that section of the company, and less than half of everyone else's age. So I felt like arguing with them about it was a bad idea. The next morning, I decided to not pump myself full of cold meds and just go in raw-dogging life. As soon as I walk in the door, the trainers look at me and I say,

I'm very sick. I might want to give me a wide birth. They looked at me wide-eyed, nodded, and went to a different section of the building. The boss hears me coughing so hard. I'm having to do that gas for air like I just emerged from the depths. He walks in and goes, oh, you really are sick. You should go home. But I don't understand how you got this sick. I haven't taken a sick day in nine years. So I drive home and come back in the next day. The trainers look at me and say, what the hell are you doing here? I say the boss said that if I'm actually

sick, he can send me home. They just laughed and avoided my section of the building. The boss once again hears me coughing and gasping for air and comes into dismiss me. This time he tells me that he doesn't need more proof. I can come back when I feel better. Four days later, Mr. I haven't taken a sick day in nine years. Was sick with some nasty lung nonsense and was out for a week. If only he had more discipline. Oh, he, did your boss just call out sick? Surely he drove into work and went to his manager

for confirmation that he was sick, right? And what a hypocrite. That was our slash malicious compliance, and if you liked this content, be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day. podcast episodes every single day.
