Charlie and I have a 26 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: security camera in our bedroom.

Minutes after 35 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: we left, we got a notification that there was motion 36 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: in our room. We checked the cameras and saw Taylor 37 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: just standing in our room. 38 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: Now it's paranormal. 39 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Over the next thirty minutes, he went in and 40 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: out of our room about seven times. 41 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: Was he looking for the dog? 42 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: Was he sleepwalking? It depends what time he was doing 43 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: this at. 44 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: I'm picturing middle of the day, but it could be yeah, oh, 45 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: because then I'd be like checking the back tapes, like 46 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: sleepwalking while we're there. 47 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: That's real paranormal. Oh. He flies up to the ceiling 48 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: starts chanting. It's important to note that up until this 49 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: point we have sincerely valued privacy. We never go in 50 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: his room unless he states it's okay, and vice versa, 51 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: so we were surprised to see him just walking in 52 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: on his own. There's an eighth time. The eighth time 53 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: he went into our room, we saw him go over 54 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: to my dresser and dig through my panty drawer. 55 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: Ooh ah. 56 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: He picked out a pair of panties, pulled down his 57 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: boxers and pants and put my panties on ah, and 58 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: then put his boxers and pants back on over it. Oh, okay, 59 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: so panties boxers then, so he's. 60 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: Wearing them, not just like rubbing them down. 61 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: Then, No, he's wearing them. 62 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: He knows you. He has to know they have a camera, 63 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: right right. 64 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: A few minutes later, he returned wearing one of my 65 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: tank tops. When he noticed the camera, oh, he slowly 66 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: backed out of the room. But then he returned later 67 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: and continued digging through my panty drawer. 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: So he just doesn't care. 69 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: He's aware. He returned multiple times later to dig through 70 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: my panties. All of this is recorded and saved on video. 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: Seeing how he invaded our privacy and wore my underwear. 72 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Made me feel sick and this needs to be addressed. 73 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: We don't want to make Taylor feel a shame for 74 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: cross dressing, but what he did with my clothing was disgusting. 75 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, like, buy your own clothes. If you're gonna do that, 76 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: do what you want. 77 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: Buy your own Maybe he was putting on a show 78 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: for you, guys, I don't. 79 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: Use your own clothes still. 80 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know as soon as we get back home, 81 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to throw away all of my underwear and 82 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Charlie is going to install a bolt on our bedroom door. 83 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: We don't feel comfortable confronting him about it until we 84 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: return home and are able to bolt our door. Would 85 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: I be the a hole if I made him pay 86 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: to replace all of my underwear and pay for the 87 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: hardware for our bedroom bolt. The only reason I need 88 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: those things now is because he invaded my privacy. And 89 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: there's an edit here. 90 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: But I think it's gonna be a real awkward conversation. 91 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: I'm totally on team. I would be like, can you 92 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: pay for some of my underwear, dude, because that is 93 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: not cheap. I think the bolt might have to be you. 94 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: You can bring it up but underwear. I'm one hundred 95 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: percent like, hey, dude, can you chip in for this? 96 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 2: Like you literally wore some of it. That's not something 97 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: I'm comfortable sharing. You didn't act. 98 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. If this was my roommate, i'd be like, hey, 99 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: you're buying me and you underwear. But also I'm not 100 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: your roommate anymore because this is like a total breach 101 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: of privacy. But going forward, I'm sorry. This is just 102 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: like I can't be thinking about this in the back 103 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: of my head every time I leave at least. 104 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: But that's why they're getting the bowld. Yes, I would 105 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: talk to your building, depending on what kind of unit 106 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: you're in. If you're in an apartment, I think if 107 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: you explain this to your apartment, they might be willing 108 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: to be the ones to put the lock on your 109 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: door if it means you'll stay. Yeah, underwear fully down 110 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: agree bo if he or if he should pay for it. 111 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: I think if he's like embarrassing down and willing, yeah 112 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: for sure, but ask your building first and you might 113 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: have to pay for that one. 114 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: My last question before we get back to the story, 115 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: is you have this camera. Is this the first time? Right? 116 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: Like, why do you have the camera kind of thing, 117 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 2: but like, yeah. 118 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: Or like, have we not used the camera before? I like, 119 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: is this the first time? Has happened multiple times? 120 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: I'm guessing maybe they don't check the footage, That's what 121 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: I'm saying. Oh, it sounds like their footage saves though, 122 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: so they have the plan that they can go back. 123 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: I think it's like a month or two depending. I 124 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: bet it's to watch their dog normal. 125 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: One edit for clarification, Taylor is better friends with me 126 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: than he is with Charlie. Between the two guys, I'm 127 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: obviously closer to my boyfriend. I do not prefer Taylor 128 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: over my boyfriend Charlie. And we have an update. I 129 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: left out some details intentionally because thinking about it and 130 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: making a public was just too disturbing and I was 131 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: in denial. Taylor also went in my nightstand to look 132 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: at and handle my adult toys, and he dug through 133 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: my hamper to presumably look for more. He used underwear 134 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: move out. Yeah that's yeah, Now onto the update. 135 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: Sorry, it sounded like two to me that you guys 136 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 2: could handle living in this place alone without Taylor, and 137 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: he just kind of moved in because he needed a place. 138 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: So I don't even say move out. I think give 139 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: him his thirty days notice or is something thirty. 140 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: Something used to have happened, but he does not either. 141 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: You guys go, he goes, but he cannot live with 142 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: you anymore. 143 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be honestly, the first one would probably 144 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: be well be on my line of being comfortable living 145 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: with them. But if it wasn't that this would have 146 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: pushed me over the edge. 147 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: Now onto the update. Taylor denied everything. You have a 148 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: video you he looked at the camera. 149 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: Did you show him the proof? 150 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Despite the fact that we had it all on video, 151 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: he tried to make up different reasons why he was 152 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: in there, tried to downplay it, said he only came 153 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: in to look around, and then he said he doesn't 154 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: remember even entering our room. We told him he could 155 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: either move out, go to therapy, or we can move 156 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: out and he would have to find you roommates. He 157 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: basically told us no. He said we had no authority 158 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: to punt him out and that blackmailing him with the 159 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: video was illegal. 160 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: Cool, buddy, find a new roommate. We're out. 161 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, he was on our lease, so there wasn't much 162 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: we can do without taking legal action. So we got 163 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: to work. We started looking for a new place to live, 164 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: started looking for a lawyer, filed a police report, and 165 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: made plans to file for a restraining order. But every 166 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: single day I was constantly anxious at work and fearful 167 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: in my own home because it was clear that he 168 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: had absolutely no remorse. After about a week with no 169 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: sleep and constant fear, I finally spoke to my boss 170 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: about the situation. My concerns weren't taken seriously, and they 171 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: immediately began taking steps to help me. I show them 172 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: the videos and they agree that his actions were completely 173 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: unacceptable and due to the nature of our work, he 174 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: is considered a liability and a danger to other employees. 175 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: They made sure I was in a safe place before 176 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: they suspended him while they invested. During his suspension, I 177 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: met with my bosses where they continue to support me 178 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: and ensure my safety. They also made plans to terminate 179 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: him as he also had multiple negative performance reports. So 180 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: this whole deal was the nail in the coffin. However, 181 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Taylor quit before they had the chance to fire him. 182 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: Well, that's a dumb mood. 183 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: That's a really dumb mood. Yeah, the day after he quit, 184 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: He got all of his crap out of the apartment, 185 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: and signed documents removing himself from the lease. He has 186 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,559 Speaker 1: not attempted to contact me since. 187 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: Change your locks. 188 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: Change your locks, and get more cameras. Yeah, outside of 189 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the house. 190 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: Change your locks. 191 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: This whole situation has been extremely emotionally draining. Looking back 192 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: on our friendship now, I can recall multiple red flags 193 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: in which he crossed clear personal boundaries that I set. 194 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: I can't believe he was ever someone I trusted and 195 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: loved like a big brother. But for now he's out 196 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: of our lives and I am relieved. I'm still living 197 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: with my parents, but I plan on moving back as 198 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: soon as the apartment locks get changed. That's all I've 199 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: got for now. Yikes. Whoa yikes. No where I thought 200 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: that story would ever go me neither. 201 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys live alone now, and uh, maybe 202 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: don't take another roommate. Maybe just stick the shoes. 203 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Of you and your dog. I hope your dog was 204 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: like fine too. 205 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, well, I mean, I guess during the day 206 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: and stuff, you don't have as much to worry about 207 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: because you know he's at work, because he works with you, right, 208 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: so it's not like he's home alone with your dog still. 209 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: Just oof oof. And that's the end of this story. 210 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna go onto the next one. 211 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 2: My roommates refuse to lock the door for months, so 212 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: I taught them a lesson. 213 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: I hope you're a good teacher. 214 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 2: In the summer of twenty twenty, than twenty female moved 215 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: into an apartment with Joel twenty four male, and Sadie 216 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: twenty three female, who were best friends with each other 217 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: and acquaintances of mine from school. It was my first 218 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: time living outside of my parents' house. The apartment was 219 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: in a really sketchy area of town. The cops were 220 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: there multiple times a week, and we we had items 221 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: stolen from our vehicles. This was the best apartment we 222 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 2: could afford since we all paid equal rent. Joel was 223 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: a medical student from a wealthy family, but Sadie and 224 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: I were both earning well below the poverty line.

In the comments, 231 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: and OP says a constant fight between my roommates and 232 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: I was overlocking the door. They would leave the apartment 233 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: completely unlocked whenever they left. 234 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: That's so dumb. Yeah, if one guys, If you guys 235 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: are getting stuff stolen from your cars on a daily basis. 236 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: And the cops are always there, I repeatedly asked them 237 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: to please keep the door locked when nobody was home, 238 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: since my laptop and other valuables were in the apartment. 239 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: I needed my laptop for work, but could not afford 240 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: to replace it if it was stolen. Every time I 241 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: asked this, they totally brushed me off and implied that 242 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: I was being stupid or overly anxious for wanting to 243 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,239 Speaker 2: lock the door. Insane. 244 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Wow. 245 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: I was teased and ridiculed for this request on multiple occasions, 246 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: and they never respected my wishes. They said that if 247 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: anything got stolen, we could just replace it. When you're 248 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: replacing my laptop. 249 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: When it shout out to your privilege, sounds like you're 250 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: really privileged, wow. 251 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: Which is wild because they said only one of them's wealthy. Well, yeah, 252 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: so you'd think the other one would understand and be like, 253 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 2: I also can't afford to replace it, right, I'd be like, fully, 254 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: y'all are replacing my stuff, then if it's stolen on 255 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: your account? 256 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: Wow. 257 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: I came home on many occasions to an empty apartment 258 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 2: with the door unlocked. They were okay roommates other than that, 259 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: but this was a recurring point of tension. 260 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: At this point, just like, you know what, open the door. 261 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: Just leave the door open as well, let everyone in. 262 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 2: After a few months of living with them, I moved 263 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: into a different apartment in the same complex with my 264 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 2: friend Maggie twenty four female. Maggie and I were very 265 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 2: much on the same page about keeping the door locked. 266 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: We remained relatively cordial with Joel and Sadie and occasionally 267 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: said hi in the parking lot, but we didn't hang 268 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: out with them since they weren't taking the VID seriously 269 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: at all. One evening, I was cooking at dinner alone 270 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: in my apartment, and to my dismay, our potato peeler 271 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: was nowhere to be found. I scoured the whole kitchen 272 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 2: and couldn't find it, and unfortunately, the peeler was essential 273 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: to the meal I was making. I decided to go 274 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: see if Joel and Sadi were home and willing to 275 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: loan me their potato peeler. I walked over to their building. 276 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: Our keys got us into any buildings in the complex, 277 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: went up to their apartment and knocked on the door. 278 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: No answer. 279 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: You know what you Well, one, where did your potato 280 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: peeler go? 281 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: Well, one, you can peel potatoes a little bit harder, 282 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: but you can peel them with a normal knife. 283 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gotta take a little bit longer, but. 284 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: You might lose a little potato. 285 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 3: It's possible. 286 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, there's one thing. But where did the potato 287 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: peeler go? There's one thing that did come out from 288 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: like what you read that. It's probably not part into 289 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: the story, but isn't that I forgot his name? 290 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 2: Joel? 291 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: Joel, thank you nurse. Yeah, doesn't take the going to Yeah? 292 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: Does it not take the vid seriously? Wow? Wow, one thing. 293 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: I heard of that all too much? 294 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one thing crazy. 295 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: I was initially when I thought I knew where this 296 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 2: was going going to be, Like, you are kind of 297 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: the a hole because you should have just left that 298 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 2: in the past. If it's just for a potato peeler, 299 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: and you just go in and take the potato peeler. 300 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: I'm kind of a little more wishy washy. Why would 301 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: you want to go into this vid apartment? 302 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, this was like, it's not that serious. 303 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: It's potato pular. 304 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: If you went in to teach them. If you're about 305 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: to go in to teach them a lesson and you're 306 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 2: going to take their expensive stuff, I am going to say, 307 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: you're a bit of an a hole. You should have 308 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: just left it where it was and let them deal 309 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: with those I. 310 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: Don't think, oh he's gonna do that. I think just 311 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: gonna be. 312 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: Like watching and take the potato pillar were fine? 313 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, what is this like? 314 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: You can explain what happened. 315 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: It's just like Seinfeld, Hey, I and grabbed. 316 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: Your potato peeler. I'll give it back later. 317 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah huh, let's see. 318 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: But let's see. Then something snapped in me, though I 319 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: knew I shouldn't, I tried the door, and of course 320 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: it was unlocked. I went into their dark, empty apartment, 321 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: grabbed their potato peeler out of their kitchen drawer, took 322 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 2: it back to my own apartment and never said anything 323 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: to them about it. Six years later, I still have 324 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: that potato peeler. Small revenge, but extremely satisfying. That's the 325 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: end of that story. Did you not tell them that 326 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: you went in? 327 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? 328 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: I guess they probably just assumed they've lost their potato peeler. 329 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, I guess we'll never find out what happened 330 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: to your potato peeler. 331 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: Part of me is like, did you leave your potato 332 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: peeler when you moved and. 333 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: That was yours the whole time exactly? 334 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: Or did you and Sadie have one or not? Sadie 335 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: Maggie Maggie. 336 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, huh. And that's the end of this story. We're 337 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna go onto the next one. My roommate made a 338 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: spreadsheet ranking my housework, so I played by his rules. 339 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: That's kind of weird. 340 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: I live with four other adults in a rented house, 341 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: and for the most part, it works because we all 342 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: hate different things. I do long, gross, annoying chores without 343 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: much complaining.

Things go into 351 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: the couches and stuff. 352 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: I scrub the shower drain, get the mystery sludge out 353 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: of the sink trap that kind of stuff.

This is annoying. 372 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: See a business major sounds like a business major. 373 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: He had totals for everybody. Apparently he had completed sixty 374 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: eight chores in six weeks. Another roommate had fifty two, 375 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: and I I had fourteen. He said it was not personal, 376 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: but numbers are numbers, and I needed to start doing 377 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: at least four chores a day until I caught up. 378 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, shut up, you mean to tell 379 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: me you did thirty eight medial task of I wiped 380 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: the counters. That's it. Oh I'm sorry, Yeah, yes, I 381 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: did everything else. 382 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: It's time to start splitting up the tasks. You guys 383 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: can do the hard ones. We'll split this perfectly evenly. 384 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: Also, to have that much time to be this petty 385 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: is a lot. This is a lot. I honestly thought 386 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: he was joking. I pointed out that two of my 387 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: fourteen chores were like defrosting the freezer and fixing the 388 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: toilet handle, which took actual time, and that his list 389 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: including gems like putting the mail in a neat pile 390 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: and changing the hand towel. 391 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: No, I will say, I agree, very different tasks. Defrosting 392 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: a freezer though you just kind of leave it open, 393 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: but yeah, you have to be home to check it afterwards. 394 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: But I thinks like actively like ice chip in the bag. 395 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: No, I think you have to clean it too. It 396 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: takes time, but that's yeah. Let's not compare small tasks 397 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: to big task. My guy he said it completed chore 398 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: is a completed chore, and I cannot ask for a 399 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: special treatment just because my chores were more complex. Okay, 400 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: great message is received. The next afternoon, I became an 401 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: absolute demon of tiny household tasks. I replaced every toilet 402 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: paper roll that was under half, refilled the soap in 403 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: both bathrooms, put all the shoes by the door in 404 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: a straight line, watered the plants, full of the throw blankets, 405 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: emptied the lint trap, what fingerprints off the fridge handles, 406 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: sorted the random battery drawer, shook out the door mat, 407 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: put the coasters back on the coffee table, gathered all 408 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: the cups and bedrooms match straight socks from the dryer, 409 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: and on and on. I don't know if this was 410 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: proving a point. Op. 411 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 2: I think it is. 412 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: I think it is proving a point. But it's like 413 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: I think, as long as. 414 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: It's like he's doing this one day, it's not really 415 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: taking him that much. Things that probably needed to be 416 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: done are getting done. Yeah, and then you go back 417 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: to him and be like, cool, I did all these tasks. 418 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: Are you going to do that any tasks? It'll hopefully 419 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 2: just shut the other room made up pretty quick. 420 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: No, I would be like I did, I did the 421 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: forty small little things. Oh my gosh, the toilet's clogged. 422 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm already up to quota. What are you at? 423 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: Oh? I think this will stop pretty fast. 424 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 425 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: It also kind of sounded like maybe the girlfriend got 426 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: into the one guy's head because it was like, oh, 427 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 2: right after his girlfriend started hanging around the house needed 428 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: to be cleaner. 429 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think whoever has this mindset 430 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: like is it's a lot, especially when he thinks folding 431 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: like sorting the mail or putting the nail, putting the 432 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: nail in the pie pile is a chore and he 433 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: thinks that's equivalent to you scrubbing the toilet is insane. 434 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: I hate people like that. As up, he says, I 435 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: picked only the dumbest, fastest chores on purpose. By bedtime 436 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: I had logged thirty one chores. The next day I 437 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: did nineteen more before lunch. Technically I was crushing it. 438 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: The house, however, looked kind of insane. The choreboard was thriving, 439 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: but the oven still smoked, the recycling still needed, the 440 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: annoying trip to the drop off place, and the shower 441 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: drain was making that glugging demon noise again. One roommate 442 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: laughed so hard she had to sit down. Another asked 443 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: why the spreadsheet said we were doing amazing when the 444 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: house felt worse. That turned into a very short meeting 445 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: where the whole system got scrapped. Mister Numbers admitted, maybe 446 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: not all chores or separate species of equal effort. 447 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, I mean, was it a little I don't 448 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: even want to say passive aggressive n It was a 449 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: little bit of a roundabout way, but it did get 450 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: the point across, and it got it cross, and like 451 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: it was a good show and tell themone. 452 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: No on PERC, good on uop And what was it 453 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: a little passon. No, this was fully passive. 454 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: Aggressive clients was what I was looking for. 455 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved it. I'm no longer on catch up duty. Man. 456 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: He has not opened that spreadsheet since and that's the 457 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: end of that story. 458 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: Problem solved. My roommate keeps breaking our dorm rules, and 459 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: I finally snapped. 460 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Ooh like a rubber band. 461 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 2: I am a college freshman. In my second semester, I 462 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 2: have been living in a dorm with my roommate. Let's 463 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: call him Jason. Jason and I got along just fine. 464 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: We shared similar personality traits and became pretty close friends 465 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: in the first semester. A few weeks into the semester, 466 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: Jason found somebody he had romantic interests in. Eventually, Jason 467 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: got into a relationship with this woman. Let's call her Jenny. 468 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: By the way, this comes from initial Summer seventy three 469 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 2: seventy five. And if you want to sit your own stories, 470 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: go to the r slash. Okay, storytime separated it. I'm Carly, 471 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: I'm Keon, and we're here to give good advice. Goofily, 472 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: but we don't have all the answers. We only know 473 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 2: what we would do. Let us know what you would 474 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: do in the comments, you know, He says. Jason began 475 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: having Jenny come over to our dorm very often, almost 476 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: every day she was over. I didn't really mind it, 477 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 2: as Jenny and I got along just fine. She was 478 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 2: enjoyable to be around and reminded me of my cousins 479 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: back home. But soon enough, Jason and Jenny began to 480 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: do a couple activities. Some days I would walk in 481 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 2: on them making out and such. It made me uncomfortable, 482 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: but I just kept on with whatever I was doing. 483 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: This happened to me in college, not like were you no, no, no, 484 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: like he like, yeah, I was op and I'm like, hey, guys, 485 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: want a water, you know, some safety What do you need? 486 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit right here because this is the living room. 487 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: Oh is the living room. I walked in on my 488 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: roommate and her boyfriend doing stuff. But they were in 489 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: our room, in your room, dorm room. It was a 490 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: shared dorm. She was in her side of our ROOMATA, 491 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 2: it wasn't common area. But I still walked in. 492 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: Okay, that I mean that also happens. That's just that's 493 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: just dorm life. 494 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 2: Ah. But I would fully be like Jason, buddy. 495 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: Go to the room.

Maybe 499 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: maybe One day she even stayed the night and slept 500 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: with Jason on his bed. This was one of the 501 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: worst nights I have ever had. 502 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: Like, are you guys sharing the room? 503 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a dorm room. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have 504 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: a private dorm room. 505 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I had bunk beds. 506 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: Right, so you shared a room. 507 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 508 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: The entire night I could hear them kissing and giggling, 509 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 2: which was everything I did not need in my life. 510 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 2: After that, I had to set up some boundaries with 511 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: Jason about Jenny being in our dorm, primarily being that 512 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: she couldn't sleep over. That was the only boundary I 513 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: had set up. Looking back at it, I should have 514 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: been stricter, as it made me uncomfortable. 515 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: You know what you need to do, Ope, just start 516 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: farting to start making start start making his funny sounds. Honestly, 517 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: if they're going to ruin your moment, make it funny. 518 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: Start playing whale sounds. I don't know, it's just stuff 519 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: that would annoy them. 520 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: I told him that I had specifically chosen to live 521 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: in the hall because I only wanted to share a 522 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: room with one other person, unlike the other halls that 523 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: had three plus people crammed into a room. I am 524 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: paying my money for this room because I only want 525 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 2: to live with one other person aka only Jason, not 526 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: Jason plus Jenny. He said that he understood and would 527 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 2: respect my boundaries. Everything was fine until the week before 528 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving break, when Jason and I clashed. He lashed out 529 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: at me and threatened me because I had bothered him 530 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: when I said that he looked rough. Jason was sick 531 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: and his skin was turning red. 532 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 3: Oh no. 533 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 2: After that, we didn't talk much. Jason had apologized and everything, 534 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: but I chose to stay in my own lane and 535 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: keep my distance from Jason. Moving forward, now we are 536 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: in this second semester and Jenny is over at the 537 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: dorm every day, even if Jason isn't in the room 538 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: with her. 539 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Where does Jenny live? 540 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: So she has basically become a roommate despite my wishes. 541 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: She just came out of spring break and Jason has 542 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: had Jenny spend the night twice. The first time I 543 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: told him that she could not stay the night. We 544 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 2: had agreed on that early on in the first semester, 545 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: nothing had changed. Jason replied, telling me that she was sick. 546 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 2: Although I understand why Jason would like to keep Jenny 547 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: in our dorm as a way to look after her, 548 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: it is important to note that we live in a 549 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: shoe box. 550 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: Wait, she's sick, Yeah, then why she stayed? 551 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: We can take care of her. 552 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: No, no, no, how about you go to her place 553 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: and take care of her where she's sick. Don't bring 554 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: the sick in our shared space. 555 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: I would assume that that comes down to more of 556 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: like the other female roommates don't want a man in 557 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 2: their apartment. Oh, it is very possible that both Jason 558 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: and I will get sick as well. Yeah. No, I 559 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: don't know about Jason, but I cannot afford to be 560 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: sick and miss out on school, as I already have 561 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: too many absences from food poisoning I got early in 562 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: the semester. So I told Jason that Jenny should go 563 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: back to her dorm if she was sick. Jason ignored 564 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: what I had said, and Jenny slept in the dorm 565 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: last night. Anyway, now I'm at a fork in the road. 566 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: I could confront Jason about Jenny sleeping in the dorm, 567 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: even though he may ignore me once again. I could 568 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: just deal with her sleeping over even though it causes 569 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: me discomfort. Or email my Ra and see my options. 570 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: Ding ding ding ding ding. Email your Ray. 571 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: That's probably the best. 572 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't yet. I am considering contacting 573 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 2: my Ra. Yes, as I already tried communicating with Jason 574 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: and I was ignored. It is safe to say that 575 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 2: I will not be dorming with Jason next year, and 576 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 2: thankfully I will be dorming with a friend of mine 577 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: in an apartment style dorm. It has a full on 578 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: kitchen and everything, so I will no longer be subjected 579 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: to living in a walk in closet and I can 580 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 2: have my own space. I'd like to hear your thoughts 581 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: either way. Thank you, and we have an update. But 582 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: you got any thoughts. 583 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: No, Dike, this is what you're supposed to do. Don't 584 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: be like, ah, I'll walk on eggshells for you. Guys. 585 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: You know, sure your roommates, but you don't owe him anything. 586 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: And the fact that you actually talk to him and 587 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: he's like oh yeah, yeah, and didn't listen, Nah, you 588 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: did the right thing. 589 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 2: Go to your RA. 590 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: Do it. Trust me, you're gonna be like, why didn't 591 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: I do that like first semester, or like you know 592 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: so much sooner. 593 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 2: The apartment style dorms are nice too. 594 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 595 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 2: Update. This morning, I emailed my RA, as many of 596 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: you suggested I should. She suggested that we do a 597 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 2: mediation meeting. I texted my roommate asking about availability, and 598 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: he read my message and did not respond. It wasn't 599 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 2: until I texted him once again assuring him that it 600 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 2: was serious that He then gave me a time to 601 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 2: give to the RA. I went about my day until 602 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: it was time to go to the meeting. The RA 603 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: takes us to the lounge and we begin talking. I 604 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: explained the situation and what made me go to the 605 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 2: RA for advice. For context, I only explained to the 606 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: part where Jenny had been staying over the past few 607 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: nights while sick, which was against the agreement between me 608 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: and Jason, my roommate. Once I explained the situation, the 609 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 2: ra's pulled up our Sweet Made Agreement, an official agreement 610 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 2: all of the sweet mates made. In the first In 611 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 2: the agreement, it read that Jason I agreed that guests 612 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: could stay over and even sleep the night. I initially 613 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: agreed to this because at first I did not have 614 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: an issue with Jenny coming over, and I did not 615 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 2: know that her sleeping over would make me uncomfortable, which 616 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: is why Jason and I agreed afterwards that Jenny shouldn't 617 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: sleep over. After discussing the situation some more, the RA 618 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 2: agreed that although the SWEE made agreement stated that there 619 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 2: were no issues with having guests over, the agreement would 620 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: be updated since it clearly was not working out. The 621 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: RA stated that because Jenny was sick, she should go 622 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: back to her dorm and sleep there. Additionally, the RA 623 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: said that Jenny could be over, but around ten to 624 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: eleven PM she should make her way back to her dorm, 625 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: which is essentially what Jason and I had been doing 626 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: before he decided to stop going with it. They also 627 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: stated that the university had a three day guest policy, 628 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: where guests could only spend up to three days a 629 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: week in a student's dorm. This doesn't exactly work in 630 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: my favor, but it is good to know. I also 631 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: made sure to mention that Jenny would be in the 632 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: dorm even if Jason was not around. This is when 633 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: the RAS mentioned that a part of the guest policy 634 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 2: was that guests could not be left alone in the room. 635 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: So Jason must be in the dorm with Jenny and 636 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: cannot just simply leave her there. 637 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: College dorm life, Yeah, what a lifestyle. 638 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, those are those are the same rules we had. Yeah, 639 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 2: days a week, you had to be with them. 640 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: Mine, we're pretty a lot stricter, I think because we 641 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: lived in a co ed dorm. Yeah, but they were like, 642 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: I don't think you're allowed to have like guests or 643 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: anything like that, but like who cared. It was college. Yeah, 644 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: you're doing the right thing, but it's gonna be now 645 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: awkward because the RA is like, all right, cool, if 646 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: this works, great, I don't deal with it anymore. But 647 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: if it proceeds, then we can go and see what happens. 648 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: But now it's going to be like Jenny and Jason 649 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: are just going to be like side eyeing you the 650 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: entire time. I mean, I wouldn't care anymore. 651 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: That's sometimes easier, like if they're just gonna ignore you 652 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: and not talk to you, as long as they're following 653 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: the agreement, get through the next what ten weeks. 654 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I just again, i'd do the funny stuff 655 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: and be like, oh, you guys are gonna be sleeping. 656 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play well sounds. 657 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 2: Well, she shouldn't be sleeping there anymore. 658 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: I know. But I'm be like, oh, you're you doing that, 659 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: You're doing funny time. I'm gonna do funny time too. 660 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: No, if they're doing funny time, I'm knocking on the 661 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: ra's door and I'm being like, I don't care that 662 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: it's midnight. 663 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm making fartun in the room. I'm doing fart sounds. 664 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm doing farts all night. 665 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: The meeting went just as I expected to go. I 666 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: was aware that the official Sweetman Agreement wouldn't it be 667 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: applicable to the current living situation, but at least it 668 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: was able to be updated and edited. I will now 669 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: see how things go from here. Hopefully the living situation improves, 670 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 2: because with the end of the semester coming up, I 671 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 2: needed to completely focus on my academics and not a 672 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: living dilemma. On a personal note, I am pretty sure 673 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 2: that Jenny got me sick because I've been coughing all 674 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: day with a slightly sore throat. Let me know, your 675 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 2: thoughts and opinions.

Please, as Obie says, fast forward to now, 716 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: I have been living here for over a year and 717 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Kate and my sister were both on board and happy 718 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: for me to move into the third room. Immediately, I 719 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: noticed some questionable habits from Kate. She says she doesn't 720 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: believe in laundry. Huh, what does she believe in? 721 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: She just throws out her clothes when she wears them. 722 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: She is it, is it just a one time? It 723 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I only believe in you get to 724 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: wear clothes one time and that's it. 725 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 2: Either that or she's stinky. 726 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: Which is a direct quote from her when I asked 727 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: about it. Essentially, here we go. Essentially, she will put 728 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 1: her dirty clothes in a pile in her room and 729 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: let it build up. And I'm talking mounds of clothes 730 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: up to my chest and I'm five to seven. 731 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: Ah wait, okay, wait, what does she do with them? 732 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: What does she do with them? Does she just leave 733 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: them there and never use them again? Or does she 734 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: reuse them again? 735 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 2: Keep reading? Oh, keep reading? 736 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: We must know she will occasionally wash her favorite clothes, 737 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: but otherwise she just buys more. 738 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 739 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: Though the mess is contained to her room and the 740 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: smell doesn't escape as long as her door is closed, 741 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: so I just left it. She also doesn't do her dishes, 742 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: saying her mom used to do them at home. 743 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: Oh booo, your mom's not here. Yeah. 744 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: Wait, I guess she's not here to do them for 745 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: you. Your mom mom. I said, well, your mom doesn't live here, 746 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: and she just said my sister had been doing them. 747 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: I asked my sister about it, and she said she 748 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: didn't want to lose a friend over domestic stuff and 749 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: to just leave it. Oh, that's bad. However, Kate recently 750 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: started bringing over her girlfriend, Amy twenty one female, which 751 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: has brought up some new issues. Does she also have 752 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: a clothes mountain? 753 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: She starts making her own clothes mount in Kate's room. 754 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: Amy and Kate go everywhere together, and I'm talking the kitchen, 755 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: the lounge, the bedroom, and the toilet together. You know 756 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: that's actually conserving water. 757 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: I mean they could go one after another. 758 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: Nah, they do at the same time. 759 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 3: How do they do that? 760 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: I noticed they were literally going into the one by 761 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: half meter toilet space together. And last week I heard 762 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: a very loud sound from the bathroom and Kate going, oh, 763 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: that was a big one, big pooh. 764 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: It's a big pooh. 765 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: It was a big stink, and then Amy offering to 766 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: wife for her, which was incredibly uncomfortable to overhear. They 767 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: also go into the shower together and leave the door 768 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: open while they do, so I usually just try to 769 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: stay in my room while they're in there, but I 770 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: have said numerous times that I would appreciate them shutting 771 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: the door because I don't want to see anything inappropriate 772 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: and also feel like it's just basic respect. 773 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: Why do they want people to see it into the bathroom? 774 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: Hi, Yeah, there's too many there's too many answers, so 775 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: many questions. Needless to say, my request were ignored, and 776 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: my sister said she would prefer not having Kate there 777 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: but doesn't want to cause drama. So it was up 778 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: to me what I wanted to do. Your sister has 779 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: zero spine. Your sister saying I don't like the dude 780 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: to drama. I don't want to do the drama. I 781 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: don't like it, but as long as I don't bring 782 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: it up, it'll keep happening. 783 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 2: It's gonna be tougher. I fear for ope to get 784 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 2: through because they're gonna be like, well, your sister's been 785 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: living like this for years. 786 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: She's fine and she's happy with it. Yeah right. 787 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 2: I think unless your sister gets on your side, this 788 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 2: might be problem. 789 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. So I sat Kate down yesterday and mentioned that 790 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: with the upcoming lease renewal, either she needed to move 791 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: out or aiming you to stop coming over because I 792 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: wasn't going to deal with another year of her not 793 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: respecting the space or listening to my requests. So am 794 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: I they hold for asking her to move out? Or 795 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: should I have kept trying to bring it up in 796 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: the new least period? I know she just let me 797 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: move in, and my sister just put up with it, 798 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: But this just feels disrespectful as a housemate, girl, this 799 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: is this is this is disrespectful to anybody, not as 800 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: a housemate.

It's grown. 850 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: This is what broke the camel's back. 851 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, spine fully formed. I mean, I feel like going 852 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 2: with op being there, it's in her head more. It's 853 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 2: being brought up to her more. Yeah, she's getting more frustrated. 854 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 2: Her concerns are being validated. 855 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that you're like, this is not a 856 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: good place to live, and she's like, I know, but 857 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: I just don't want to deal with it. 858 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 2: Right. 859 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 1: Good for sister finally happened. My sister says a lot 860 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: of their friend group is supporting her with the decision 861 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: because they had also noticed Kate's habits, and it was 862 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: actually the reason they had stopped coming to the apartment 863 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: for hangouts. They were so uncomfortable with Kate and Amy's 864 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: behavior and their mess Kate has already started packing her 865 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: stuff and it's going to move into Amy's place. Oh, 866 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: that's to be fun for Amy. 867 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 2: Amy agreed, that's gonna be a make or break it situation. 868 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: I think they'll be just fine. And you know what, 869 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: not my circus, not my monkey, yeah, she said. And 870 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 1: I was a little shocked by this. If we want 871 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: to live in a spotless house, we're going to live 872 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: a rough life. Real housemates clean up each other's messes 873 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: and put up with the smells. 874 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 2: Then why didn't you ever clean our messes? 875 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: Whyever you wash your plates? Why do you ever wa 876 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: wash my plates? Your mom can't do that. 877 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 2: I've never had to put up with a roommate smells. 878 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: And she proceeded to call us prudes for warning the 879 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: door closed while she and her girlfriend showered or got 880 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: up to do other things. Anyway, it seems to be 881 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: resolved now, and thank you for all your insight. And 882 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: that is the end of that story. 883 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 2: Nice problem solved. 884 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you did it, I wouldn't fine.

So I'm giving you a little leeway 888 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 1: that she'd have been done if either of this or 889 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: me would have done it immediately. 890 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 2: Well, sounds like op did it pretty quick. 891 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: Sister was Yeah, exactly, So good on you.

You're worried 895 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 2: about the repercussions. 896 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that my friends aren't coming over because 897 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: of how my roommate is insane. And that's the end 898 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: of this story. We're gonna go onto the next one. 899 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 2: Hey, it's Carly, your favorite Axelottel host. 900 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: Here. 901 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 2: We're going to get back to the stories. But here's 902 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 2: three minutes of ads from our sponsors. I demanded to 903 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 2: have a seat in our family, and now they pay 904 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: with respect. Well they should be paying with money, Okay, 905 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 2: hear me out. For as long as I can remember, 906 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 2: in my family, almost any time I got up from 907 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 2: my seat, someone would take it to either be funny 908 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 2: or to claim it as if no one was using it, 909 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 2: and as a teenager, it literally got to the point 910 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 2: that I brought my own folding chair so I could 911 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 2: pick it up and carry it with me. By the way, 912 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 2: this comes from Sit Sit, Sit throw Away.

We only know what we 917 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 2: would do. Let us know you would do in the comments, 918 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,839 Speaker 2: and op says if I left it where it was, 919 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 2: someone would take it then get mad when I wanted 920 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 2: it back. As an example, on holiday last year, I 921 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 2: got up from my chair for a moment to help 922 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 2: with something and came back to find a kid in it, 923 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 2: and then the family berating me for wanting them to move. 924 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 2: That's also crazy, though, because I feel like the older 925 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 2: people usually do get claim on the chair over Like 926 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 2: if I was like the youngest cousin, I would be 927 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 2: the one getting up to be like, yeah, here's your chair. 928 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 4: But yeah, that's just how it is like in my 929 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 4: I guess like my family dynamic like older people just 930 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 4: automatically get. 931 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gone to get there a chair. 932 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 4: Like if if it's between like a seat on the 933 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 4: couch or like a seat on the floor, the younger 934 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 4: kids are going to sit on the floor and the 935 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 4: older people will sit on the couch. 936 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: That's cool. Mine was the opposite as the oldest one. 937 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: They said, m give that to the younger ones, and 938 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: I went, that's not fair, okay. 939 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 2: And then the family berating me for wanting them to move. 940 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 2: But I tell them that when a man owns and 941 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 2: brings his own chair, they expect to be able to 942 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 2: use it. I own a very nice folding chair that's 943 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 2: comfortable and easily portable, and I pretty much bring it 944 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 2: to any family events because people are always scrambling for chairs. Well, 945 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 2: the other day I went to a birthday party for 946 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,959 Speaker 2: my nephew, and like always, I brought my own chair. 947 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 2: When I came back, my chair was gone, and everyone 948 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 2: acted like they didn't know where it was. I said 949 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 2: they had one minute to return it or I was leaving. 950 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 2: They laughed at first, but then realized I was serious 951 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 2: as I started going for the door. It's just a 952 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 2: joke that opia has not found funny for a long time, 953 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 2: but everyone else does. 954 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 3: It's so sad because it's such a good joke. 955 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 2: Everybody told me to just calm down, and it was 956 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 2: just a joke. I said, I don't care if they 957 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 2: think I'm a stick in the mud. I wouldn't be 958 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 2: bringing my own chair all the time if other people 959 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,840 Speaker 2: weren't always taking my seat when I get up. I 960 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 2: don't think it's funny, and I never did. My brother 961 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 2: in law then pulled the chair out of where he'd 962 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 2: hidden it, and when I got it back, one of 963 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 2: the legs was bent. I said, it was not like 964 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 2: this before. How could he have possibly done this to 965 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 2: a metal chair. He said he could fix it and 966 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 2: tried to unbend it, but he only made it worse. 967 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 2: The chair is pretty much unusable now because the leg 968 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 2: is warped and I don't want to risk putting weight 969 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 2: on it. I told my brother in law he owes 970 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 2: me fifty dollars for the chair folding chair dollar folding chair. 971 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,240 Speaker 2: A metal folding chair costs fifty dollars. 972 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 3: There's no way. 973 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 2: He got mad and kept saying it was just a 974 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 2: stupid chair. I said, it was my stupid chair, and 975 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 2: this wouldn't have happened if he wasn't so immature that 976 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 2: he and everyone else had to mess with me for 977 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 2: years about where I sit. Then I took my now 978 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 2: messed up chair and walked out.

I was listening 1015 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,320 Speaker 2: to Reddit videos on YouTube a couple weeks ago shout out. 1016 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 2: Then I suddenly heard my old am I the a 1017 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 2: hole post, so I thought i'd give an update. Well, 1018 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 2: things escalated a lot after I made that post, because 1019 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 2: I linked it to my parents and other family members. 1020 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,720 Speaker 2: After a little while they were furious with me at first, 1021 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 2: some even mocked me, saying things like, oh, watch what 1022 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 2: you say, or do a round opee. He might just 1023 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,959 Speaker 2: post about it on Reddit. But when they actually read 1024 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 2: the comments on my post when I made them, they 1025 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 2: became mortified. My brother in law did agree to pay 1026 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 2: for a new chair and gave me the money I 1027 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 2: asked for. I bought a better folding chair than my 1028 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 2: last one and resumed going to family functions. But whenever 1029 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 2: I was there, there was this air about some of 1030 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 2: the family members. They looked at me like I'd sucked 1031 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 2: all the fun out of the room. My parents had 1032 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 2: stopped thinking the chair thing was funny, and even scolded 1033 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 2: a kid for taking my seat when I got up 1034 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 2: to use the bathroom. The only problem is that this 1035 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 2: kid was my nephew, and he started crying when they 1036 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 2: made him get up. Okay, people take your seat sometimes 1037 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 2: they're gonna stop doing it all the time, and everyone 1038 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 2: needs to get over themselves. 1039 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 3: I only used to just shut up and stop taking. 1040 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 2: My chair, Like, yeah, they should stop taking your seat. 1041 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 2: You didn't think it was funny. You expressed that, sure, 1042 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 2: let's move on, But we don't need to know yell 1043 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 2: at this nephew too, I'm like, Oh. My brother in 1044 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 2: law came to the boy's rescue, and my nephew ended 1045 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: up blurting out that his daddy told him he could 1046 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 2: do it. Oh, so is this the dad's still egging 1047 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 2: a mom? When I was out of the bathroom, there 1048 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 2: was a big fight about it going on. Several family members, 1049 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 2: including my sister and brother in law, were all yelling 1050 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 2: that it was just a dang chair and I shouldn't 1051 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 2: be so butt hurt about it. My parents demanded to 1052 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 2: know why they were so butt hurt about not being 1053 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 2: allowed to screw with me anymore, Like what was their 1054 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 2: motivation after doing it for so long? It made no sense. 1055 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't funny anymore. And that's when I intervened. I 1056 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 2: told them none of this crap would have ever happened 1057 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 2: if they hadn't been so intent un messing with me 1058 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 2: when there really was no point to it. And I 1059 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 2: only started bringing my own chair because I could never 1060 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 2: find a stable place to sit. And if they still 1061 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 2: thought they were in the right about the situation, then 1062 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 2: they were just bullies, plain and simple. And what kind 1063 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 2: of example is that to be setting for their son, 1064 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 2: my brother in law raged, grabbed my new chair and 1065 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,720 Speaker 2: hurled it through the living room bay window. 1066 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: He went, all right, so they won't be an issue, 1067 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: But I just. 1068 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 2: Here so weirdow. Brother in law got pissy about being 1069 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,439 Speaker 2: called out for being a butt after an unfunny joke 1070 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 2: went too far, trained his kid to be the one 1071 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 2: to take the seat so that no one could yell 1072 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,359 Speaker 2: at a kid. And then when they still yelled at, 1073 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 2: the kid, picked up a chair and flung it through 1074 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,280 Speaker 2: their window. 1075 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say again, you're gonna have to buy 1076 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: me another new chair. 1077 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 2: And I'll fix the dang window. 1078 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 1: Also, is anyone out there just gotta. 1079 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 2: Get hit by or a car or something? Could you 1080 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 2: imagine it's right on the. 1081 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: Chair throughout the window. I beg oh no. 1082 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 2: There was a bit of a pause before he realized 1083 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,799 Speaker 2: what he'd just done. Then he took off in his 1084 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 2: car and left my sister and nephew there what My 1085 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 2: parents got my sister to call him, and over the 1086 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 2: phone they threatened to go to the police if he 1087 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 2: didn't pay for the damages. Brother in law yelled a 1088 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 2: few f bombs until my sister took the phone back 1089 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 2: and she said that he can either make things right 1090 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 2: or she'll divorce him. Oh my, okay, this is going 1091 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 2: way past a chair now. 1092 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 1: It started out with the chair. How did it. 1093 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,320 Speaker 2: Was only a seat? 1094 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: It was only a seat. 1095 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 2: Well, that did the trick, because he came back looking 1096 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 2: like he punted a puppy with his head hanging low. 1097 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,720 Speaker 2: He apologized to me and my parents without even looking 1098 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 2: at us, said he'd pay for the new bay window, 1099 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 2: and left again. My sister said he'd drank himself to 1100 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 2: sleep that night. My new chair was just fine. It 1101 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 2: took being hurled through a bay window like a champ. 1102 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 2: There was hardly a scratch on it. It took. It 1103 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,320 Speaker 2: took like a chance beating hurled through that chair. 1104 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:51,760 Speaker 3: That chair took a champ. 1105 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 2: My last one mm hm, last one couldn't even get hidden. 1106 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 2: It bent right up. 1107 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, last song was hidden, completely bent. This one went 1108 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 4: through a freaking window. 1109 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 3: Not even better. 1110 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 2: Write that review on their website right now. Yeah, my 1111 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 2: brother in lawed threw it through a bay window and 1112 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 2: it survived. 1113 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 4: Highly recommend this chair, very sturdy, very comfortable, can survive 1114 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 4: a bay window. 1115 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 2: Yes, my brother hired a window company to come and 1116 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 2: replace the window and they had to measure and order 1117 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 2: a new one before it could be installed, and until 1118 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 2: then the window had to be covered with plywood. It 1119 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,320 Speaker 2: took some time, but they got the new bay window, 1120 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,239 Speaker 2: and it's better than the old one, though I imagine that 1121 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 2: it was extra expensive because it's a bay window. The 1122 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 2: family was still divided about the situation for a while, 1123 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 2: mainly brother in law's parents, my uncle, and a couple cousins. 1124 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 2: They blamed me and called me obnoxious over insisting on 1125 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 2: bringing my own chair and refusing to let anyone else 1126 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 2: use it. So I compromised. I said, if I had 1127 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 2: a good designated seat that no one will try to 1128 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 2: take away, I'll leave my chair in my car. It 1129 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 2: took two more family barbecues before they finally agreed to this. 1130 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 2: I think you just gotta bring your chair. Then if 1131 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 2: you constantly need a place to sit, I will say, like, sure, 1132 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 2: maybe your parents just need to buy more chairs. But 1133 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 2: sometimes you just don't always have a seat at family gatherings. 1134 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 2: Sometimes you stand. If you get up, you'll lose your 1135 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,399 Speaker 2: you move your feet, lose your seat. 1136 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 4: Honestly, this is so funny, and I would have I 1137 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 4: was there. 1138 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 2: Because I'm like at this point, if they're not doing 1139 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 2: it intentionally to mess with Op and they're not purposely 1140 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,280 Speaker 2: like grabbing his chair every time he stands up. Sometimes 1141 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 2: there's just not enough chairs. Buy them chairs for Christmas. 1142 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 2: I don't know what else to tell. You buy one 1143 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,879 Speaker 2: chair a year, like you have. 1144 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: To play plastic ones that you can spitterly. 1145 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,240 Speaker 2: They're like five bucks at Lows for those plastic classic 1146 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 2: long chair ones. If even since then, I've left the 1147 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 2: chair in my car unless there really wasn't enough seating, 1148 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 2: and that's only happened once since the problem is though, 1149 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 2: that even though they stopped screwing with me, they were 1150 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 2: still screwn with each other and thing until things went 1151 00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 2: too far. They still like to take each other's seat. 1152 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,359 Speaker 2: But I guess others were following my example because they 1153 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 2: put their feet down and demanded it stop. If Op 1154 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 2: was fully like I cannot stand for long periods of time, 1155 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,920 Speaker 2: or like I have a medical condition, like I need 1156 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 2: a chair, I have this reason that I need a chair, 1157 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 2: then yeah, everyone else is for sure the ahole give 1158 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 2: the poor Opie a chair. Yeah, but that was not mentioned, 1159 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 2: so they're not allowed to have I don't know, maybe 1160 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 2: they just left it out. It's been going on for 1161 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 2: decades and they've had enough. Brother in law stayed out 1162 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,320 Speaker 2: of the fight entirely and hasn't caused any more trouble. 1163 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 2: But for several family functions, a number of people didn't 1164 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 2: bother to show up. My mother was broken up about 1165 00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 2: it because she loves hosting parties. It took months, but 1166 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,919 Speaker 2: everything more or less normalized again, but without the chair 1167 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,760 Speaker 2: thing going on, some have resorted to other stupid pranks, 1168 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 2: like a little device you hooked to a chair that 1169 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 2: makes farts. You can't get mad at fart jokes. They're funny. 1170 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 4: Ope, true, they're funny. It's one thing to not have 1171 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 4: a seat, another thing to not laugh at fart. 1172 00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 3: You choose a side when you're on. 1173 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a chair. Be happy you have a chair. 1174 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 2: It just farts when you sit. 1175 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,720 Speaker 3: How freaking hilarious. I would love that they. 1176 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 2: Didn't do this to my seat, but did it to 1177 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 2: a cousin. Hand said. Cousin got really petty at the 1178 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,280 Speaker 2: next party and let out real farts. 1179 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 3: Ah. 1180 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 2: He said, he ate a whole pack of fiber bars 1181 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 2: and had eggs for breakfast. Funny, opie, funny, and it 1182 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 2: was dang nasty, And we've got looks like a list 1183 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 2: of some more pranks, so I'll read those and then 1184 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,240 Speaker 2: we'll get a we'll get your thoughts. Other pranks included 1185 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 2: hiding eating utensils, a stink bomb, hiding some sort of 1186 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 2: monster thing in the toilet, cell a fane in a doorway, 1187 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 2: ripping paper when someone bends over, messing with drinks, hiding shoes, 1188 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 2: copying outfits, a container of foam packing peanuts above a doorway, 1189 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 2: and finally, the one that really infuriated my aunt and 1190 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 2: uncle when a party was held at their house, a 1191 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 2: glitter bomb. 1192 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: Oh, we know all about that. 1193 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:55,240 Speaker 3: That's crazy. 1194 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 2: That one might be too far. We've seen the effects 1195 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,880 Speaker 2: of glitter. It's hard to clean. They got the carpet 1196 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 2: professionally clean and built the person who made the glitter 1197 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,239 Speaker 2: bomb for it. So now pranks are just over. They 1198 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 2: don't want anymore, and I'm fine with that. But the 1199 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 2: last few family functions have been a bit dull. I 1200 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 2: think they were so used to how things were that 1201 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 2: now they're trying to find other ways to amuse themselves 1202 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 2: that don't involve cell phones. And that's the end of 1203 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:21,919 Speaker 2: that story. Hmm. 1204 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: It seems like your family just likes to pull pranks, 1205 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: and unfortunately you were the one getting the prank or 1206 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,280 Speaker 1: getting pulled the prank on all the time. 1207 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I can totally see how that's annoying, But 1208 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 2: the fart thing is funny. 1209 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 3: I drew a nice little chair. 1210 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,360 Speaker 2: Somehow I return again. He's back, and he's backed me 1211 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 2: with a vengeance and with some crazy info on stuff 1212 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,560 Speaker 2: that went down this past year. I never could have 1213 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 2: imagined how things could have spiraled into what happened. If 1214 00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 2: you guys thought my brother in law throwing a chair 1215 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,440 Speaker 2: through the bay window after his son wasn't allowed to 1216 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 2: sit on it was crazy. Just read about all of this, 1217 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,279 Speaker 2: you're not gonna want to believe it. Firstly, my good 1218 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 2: padded folding chair I paid over eighty dollars for was stolen. 1219 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 2: Don't don't who stole it. I have no idea by who, 1220 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,319 Speaker 2: as it didn't happen at the family event, but rather 1221 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,479 Speaker 2: hanging out at a friend's house. Somebody just walked into 1222 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,360 Speaker 2: his yard and took it. No. I learned my lesson 1223 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 2: and decided never to buy an expensive folding chair again. No, 1224 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 2: I just keep a cheap folding chair I got for 1225 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,800 Speaker 2: three dollars at a second hand store in my trunk. 1226 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 4: Ah, he still his eighty dollar chare that's been through 1227 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:45,799 Speaker 4: I would feel a connection to that. 1228 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 3: It went through the bay windows. 1229 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 2: Survived the bay window, but not the backyard. Not not 1230 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 2: the backyard. So I was like, oh, that's pretty nice mine. 1231 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,800 Speaker 2: Moving on to other stuff. The family pranks I described 1232 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 2: in my last post seemingly stopped, but some of them 1233 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 2: slow resumed. However, they were only harmless little things that 1234 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 2: just give chuckles. The only person that they refused to 1235 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,320 Speaker 2: prank at all was me due to the events of 1236 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:14,200 Speaker 2: my previous post, but that didn't stop entitlement. The seven 1237 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 2: year old son of one of my cousins stole my 1238 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 2: phone during a family's birthday party at my parents' house 1239 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 2: and intentionally broke it rather than return it. 1240 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 3: Wow. 1241 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 2: His parents were already going through a rough patch. My cousin, 1242 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 2: the father was constantly clashing with his wife over how 1243 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,840 Speaker 2: to parent their child. His now ex wife was a 1244 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 2: bad enabler of their son. She's also terrible with money 1245 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,920 Speaker 2: and has a very her way or the highway attitude, 1246 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 2: and she does not like to back down when wrong. 1247 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 3: She was one of the more. 1248 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 2: Outspoken people that hated me bringing my own chair and 1249 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:55,359 Speaker 2: never sharing it, but she never got physical about it. 1250 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,359 Speaker 4: Okay, but the whole point of bringing one is that 1251 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 4: you have one, not that you'd give it to someone. 1252 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: So we found out one of the people who didn't 1253 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,280 Speaker 1: have a chair, Yeah, it was her. 1254 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 2: She once confronted me and said that if I was 1255 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,560 Speaker 2: going to bring my own chair, it should be something 1256 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 2: nice and made of wood that doesn't fold. If you 1257 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 2: don't have a chair, you can't judge my chair. I 1258 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,240 Speaker 2: told her I was not gonna lug around a dining 1259 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,439 Speaker 2: room chair wherever I go when a folding chair takes 1260 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 2: up only a little space in my trunk. She argued 1261 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 2: with me about it more and got nowhere. None of 1262 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 2: the family events were at her house, and she does 1263 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 2: not dictate my life. She gave me crazy glares for months, 1264 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 2: but otherwise left me alone. The night her son stole 1265 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 2: my phone, he'd already been grounded from electronics by his father. 1266 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,319 Speaker 2: The kid took my phone when I set it down 1267 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 2: on a table to eat some cake, and then ran 1268 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 2: off with it when I wasn't looking. He holed himself 1269 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,560 Speaker 2: up in the master bedroom closet and was trying to 1270 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 2: install new gaming apps on my phone. That closet had 1271 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 2: a lock on the door and the key was lost 1272 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,760 Speaker 2: years ago. The brat refused to come out or return 1273 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 2: the phone. His mother kept telling us all mainly me, 1274 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 2: to just leave him alone and let him game on it. 1275 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,280 Speaker 2: But I refused and said my phone was not his toy. 1276 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 2: Do what that's crazy. The brat was told several times 1277 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 2: to open the door, and he refused, all the while 1278 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 2: his mother kept contradicting everything said. My cousin got fed 1279 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 2: up and started forcing the old door open. It's an 1280 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 2: old manufactured home and that door was pretty flimsy. Just 1281 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 2: as he was making headway, we heard loud banging sounds 1282 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 2: from the closet. The brat had started banging my phone 1283 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 2: against the nearest hard object he could find. The brat 1284 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 2: let out some loud screams as the dad pulled him 1285 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 2: out of the closet. The screen on my phone was 1286 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 2: nearly destroyed. Thankfully, the rest of it was protected by 1287 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 2: the case. My cousin's wife tried to blame it on 1288 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 2: me and said it was my fault her baby broke 1289 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 2: the phone because I wouldn't let him game on it. 1290 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 2: Everyone in the room turned on her and she shut 1291 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 2: up out of cowardice. It cost around three hundred dollars 1292 00:57:58,520 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 2: to repair my phone. 1293 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 3: I would be like, what is wrong with you? 1294 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 4: Just be like, oh, yeah, you can just take people's 1295 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 4: stuff and play on it and go walk yourself in 1296 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 4: a closet, you little freak. 1297 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,800 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I would be so pissed. I'd be like. 1298 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 2: What And I had to use a temporary one till 1299 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 2: mine was fixed? And yes, my cousin paid for the repairs. 1300 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:18,080 Speaker 1: Good well. 1301 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,400 Speaker 2: The rest of the family knew about the cousin's wife 1302 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 2: disdain for folding chairs like the one I keep in 1303 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,200 Speaker 2: my car, and they decided to pull a prank on 1304 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 2: her because of her attitude after the incident with her 1305 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,479 Speaker 2: sons stealing my phone. I would like to be clear 1306 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 2: I was not involved in this in any way, nor 1307 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 2: did I really condone doing it. But the entire thing 1308 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 2: was out of my hands. My cousins got together and 1309 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,960 Speaker 2: decided to prank that witch of a wife and got 1310 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 2: their hands on a whole bunch of folding chairs. You're 1311 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 2: telling me they had more chairs this entire time. 1312 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 5: No way did they learn they had chairs this all 1313 00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 5: the time. 1314 00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 2: They could have gotten their hands on. 1315 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 4: Uh yeah, no, I'm I'm now throwing myself through the 1316 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 4: bay window. 1317 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 2: Then they removed every chair and seat in his house 1318 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 2: and replace them with the folding chairs, folding chairs at 1319 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 2: the dining table, folding chairs at the counter, folding chairs 1320 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,960 Speaker 2: in place of the living room furniture, and more were 1321 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 2: strategically placed around the house. Even the chairs on the 1322 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 2: porch were replaced with them. 1323 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: Dang, shout out to committee. 1324 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 5: To the bit they could have had chairs this all, yeah, 1325 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 5: this could have been like that's all I'm hearing. 1326 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they care. As long as it's 1327 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 1: a prank and they find it funny, they'll do it. 1328 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,440 Speaker 3: These people would annoy the crap out of me. 1329 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 2: When my cousin's wife came home, her reaction went far 1330 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,600 Speaker 2: beyond what anyone thought. It's almost like we should have 1331 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 2: learned this family can't handle pranks. Their plan was to 1332 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 2: just record her having a tantrum and get a laugh, 1333 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,680 Speaker 2: but she ended up going insane on the spot and 1334 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 2: tried to get a knife from the kitchen to go 1335 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 2: after her husband with. When she couldn't get the knife, 1336 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 2: she pulled out pepper spray for her purse. And used 1337 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 2: it on everybody whoah, my god. Ow. Then she went 1338 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 2: for her husband with her long. 1339 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Fake Now she went full Wolverine. 1340 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,040 Speaker 2: She probably would have tried to go for his eyes 1341 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 2: or something, but thankfully one of the other guys there 1342 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 2: punted her off of him. I couldn't freaking believe this 1343 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 2: crap happened all because of folding chairs. And I feel 1344 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,480 Speaker 2: like the root cause, since I'm the one who was 1345 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,920 Speaker 2: always bringing my own chair to family events, since there 1346 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,920 Speaker 2: was never enough seating and people kept taking the places 1347 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 2: I was sitting. Never feel bad again. They had chairs 1348 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 2: this whole time. This is so funny how it's like 1349 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,320 Speaker 2: transpired into like this whole ordeal now and people are 1350 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:44,600 Speaker 2: literally getting divorced and like breaking things like it's wanting 1351 01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 2: to like end someone's life over this. This is crazy, 1352 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 2: and it escalated far beyond me. Police were obviously called. 1353 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 2: The wife got arrested. All the guys there had to 1354 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 2: go to the hospital because of pepper spray in their eyes, 1355 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,400 Speaker 2: and my cousin had to get all the scratches on 1356 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,400 Speaker 2: his face treated. He looked like a bobcat attacked him. 1357 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 2: He filed for an immediate order of protection against his wife, 1358 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 2: they'd recorded everything, like her trying to get the knife 1359 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 2: and screaming she'd go after somebody. She had to go 1360 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 2: stay with her sister after spending some time in jail, 1361 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 2: and her sister I hear is as narcissistic as she is. 1362 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 2: My cousin obviously filed for divorce and his wife later 1363 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,919 Speaker 2: spent some more time in jail after pleading guilty for 1364 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 2: the assault. She wasn't allowed near her son for a 1365 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 2: while and tried to take it out on my cousin 1366 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 2: in court during the divorce. That did not go in 1367 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 2: her favor because he was easily able to prove how 1368 01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 2: ut hint she is. My cousin got primary custody of 1369 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,919 Speaker 2: his son and his ex got only supervised visitation. Since 1370 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,440 Speaker 2: she was so mentally unstable, She's pretty much abandoned her 1371 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 2: son and has tracked up with some fat older man, 1372 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 2: got a serious tan and bleached her hair. I guess 1373 01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 2: she'd rather live the life of a sugar baby. Cait 1374 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 2: didn't make up. My cousin's son has shown great improvement 1375 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 2: since being separated from his mother. He was put through 1376 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 2: counseling and listens to his father more. Now the kid 1377 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 2: has to be babysat a lot since my cousin has 1378 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 2: to work. But at the very least things got better. 1379 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 2: I still feel like the root cause of this is 1380 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 2: because of the chair thing, though. Edit just a bit 1381 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 2: of added info I didn't think to include before, But 1382 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,400 Speaker 2: my cousin's ex wife had a love for fancy, expensive 1383 01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 2: things she couldn't really afford. She filled my cousin's house 1384 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 2: with imitation Victorian style furniture that she was extremely anal about, 1385 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 2: which I suppose was one of the reasons she lost 1386 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 2: her mind so hard when it was all replaced with 1387 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 2: folding chairs. My cousin threw all that furniture out when 1388 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 2: he divorced her. He said it was all uncomfortable and 1389 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 2: looked better than it felt. Second edit, my dumb self 1390 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 2: didn't bother to set a password on that phone when 1391 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 2: I got it, so the kid was able to use 1392 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 2: it just fine when he took it. I set a 1393 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 2: password after getting the phone fixed, and the kid was 1394 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 2: grounded from electronic device is by his father for a 1395 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 2: month and that is the end of that story. Wow, 1396 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 2: that's crazy. I made a chair tree. How lovely? 1397 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 1: Uh Op, your family's got some serious problems. 1398 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 4: Serious problem literally the story was insane and all over 1399 01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 4: a chair. 1400 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,439 Speaker 1: I mean it started out with a chair. I don't 1401 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 1: think this is very fair. Started out with a chair, 1402 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 1: and that's the end of this story.
