Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, mister Rehdder here, welcome back to another episode
of Rereddit podcast Stories. Our first story we'll be reading today,
Karen gets busted stealing from our store, ends up leaving
in handcuffs. After that, my future in laws are buying
my fiance a house, but they won't include my name
on it. And after that, am I the jerk for
deliberately embarrassing my father in law in front of his family. Now,

(00:22):
for every thumbs up, this video gets one, Karen does
not get to steal any shoes, but I've been needing
a new pair for about the past two years. So
please smash that light button and subscribe and turn on
notifications for new stories from Reddit. Every single day, Karen
gets busted stealing from our store, ends up leaving in handcuffs.
Hi twenty two female. We'k at a department store in

(00:45):
a popular mall, and one of our regular shoppers is
a woman who, for the sake of this story, will
call Karen. Until this all went down, she would come
in almost every day and we all know her by name.
Unfortunately for us, she's far from being the nicest. In fact,
she's quite rude and always complained about everything. She's the
typical type of Karen who thinks expired coupons should be

(01:08):
honored and will always ask us to check the back
for something she wants but can't find on the shelves,
even though we're never able to find it in the back.
We're really good about keeping all this stock we have
on the floor, as opposed to leaving it in the
back like some places do. One day, Karen came in
looking for a specific brand of shampoo that we had
run out of. She asked me if we had any

(01:28):
in the back, and I checked our inventory system to
see if we had any on order. When I told
her that we didn't have any in stock, she got
upset and literally started yelling at me about how we
always run out of things she wants. She even went
as far as to suggest that we should order some
just for her. I politely told her that we couldn't
do that, and I apologized for the inconvenience, but she

(01:49):
just stormed off without another word. Another time, Karen came
in with a bunch of expired coupons and demanded that
we honor them. I tried to explain to her that
we couldn't accept them, but she kept insisting in causing
a scene. Eventually, my manager had to step in and
tell her that we couldn't accept the coupons. Karen was
not happy about it and left in a huff, muttering

(02:10):
under her breath. With the background out of the way,
now on to the main story. One day, when something
truly shocking happened, our opinion of this woman went from
typical Karen to full on criminal. We saw all of
what I'm about to tell you on our camera footage.
So one weekday afternoon, when Karen came in wearing her
usual sour expression, she made a bee line for the

(02:31):
shoe department and started browsing through them as she usually did.
A few minutes later, she grabbed a pair of sneakers
from the shelf and walked over to the nearest bench.
She sat down and began to take off her old shoes,
which she placed neatly in the box and placed it
back on the shelf. She then just went about her
business and checked out as usual, but wearing the new
shoes instead of her old ones. Once we found the

(02:53):
box of old shoes on the shelf, Lost Prevention went
to work reviewing footage to find out who had done
this them a few days, but eventually they found the
exact moment that Karen had done the deed. Because she
was a regular who honestly spent a fortune with us,
Mangelman did not want to press charges at first. They
were thinking it could have been a mistake and wanted
to forget about it. But unfortunately for Karen, she was

(03:16):
now on the watch list of our Lost Prevention officers,
who stayed watching her on the cameras any time they
saw her in the store. It was only a matter
of time until she tried the same thing again, but
this time it didn't work out as well for her.
Our Lost Prevention guy sat there watching her on the
live footage as she did the exact same thing again.
This time, the officer quickly called for back up and

(03:38):
they kept a close eye on Karen's location in the store.
Sure Enough, a few minutes later, Karen headed for the
exit with her old shoes still in the box that
she had put back on the shelf and the new
shoes on her feet. Our Lost Prevention team quickly approached
her and asked her about the shoes she had just
attempted to steal. They showed her the footage of her
taking the shoes and informed her that she had been

(03:59):
caught on cameras stealing. Karen tried to deny it at first,
but when they showed her the footage, she finally admitted
to the theft, along with some very colorful choices of words.
Among her excuses were, I spend more than ninety nine
percent of your customers. You can't let me just have
a simple pair of shoes as a thank you. Of course,
the police were called and Karen was held at the

(04:20):
store until they arrived. She was arrested and charged with theft,
which was a big shock to all of us who
knew her as a regular shopper, considering how management loved
her so much. After that day, Karen was banned from
the store and we never saw her again once she
was no longer visiting the store. Of course, we all
made jokes about her and almost felt bad for her

(04:40):
for her to come to our store about every day
and then just stop. We all wondered what she had
spent her days doing once she got out of jail.
Hopefully she isn't just moving her shoe operations to another
unsuspecting store. My future and laws are buying my fiance
a house, but won't include my name on it. My fiance,
twenty seven female, and I, twenty nine male, grew up

(05:02):
very differently. I was an immigrant who moved here when
I was six, and we were definitely struggling a lot.
My parents worked extremely hard to provide for me and
my siblings, and they always prioritized our education over everything.
My dad always told me it was his dream to
live in a house that he owned, since we had
always rented, but he couldn't save up enough since we
were renting in expensive areas with good schools. Unfortunately, both

(05:26):
of my parents passed before being able to realize that dream.
My dad passed when I was seventeen, and my mom
passed almost three years ago. My fiance grew up fairly wealthy,
like private schools, designer clothes, three to four international vacations
per year, flying first or business class the whole way.
I was able to attend college thanks to student loans, scholarships,

(05:48):
and part time jobs, which delayed my graduation a bit,
while her parents were able to fairly easily cover all
of her expenses themselves. However, I'm the last person to
say that my fiance hasn't earned everything she's gotten. She's
an extremely intelligent person, and besides funding her education, her
parents are in no way responsible for her accomplishments. My

(06:09):
fiance and I met six years ago when we started
working at the same company in the same position at
the same time after graduating from college. We hit it
off almost immediately and it didn't take long for us
to start dating. Both of us still work at the company. However,
I've progressed through the career ladder a bit more quickly
than she has, and now I make just over twice

(06:29):
what she does. I'll be the first to admit that
this is completely undeserved, and I've benefited from a lot
of luck and it definitely wasn't fair to her since
we work in a male dominated field. Still, that has
allowed me to aggressively attack my student loans, and once
they were paid off, I put that into saving up
for a down payment on a house as a way
to fulfill my parents' dreams. I proposed about six months

(06:51):
ago and things have been going great so far. However,
this past weekend we were at her family's house when
her parents told us that for a wedding present, they
were going to give us a house. My fiance was overjoyed,
and although I was also happy, I wanted to know
the details as well. Pretty quickly, her parents told us
that the house would be in her name only and

(07:12):
that they expected us to sign a prenup to protect
any and only pre marriage assets just in case. I
was insulted that they thought I was after their money
at all, since I make more than she does anyway,
and I ended up telling them that they can't call
it a wedding present if they only give it to
one person. I then told my fiance I refuse to
live in a house that I don't own, and she

(07:33):
knows exactly why. All three of them got very upset
with me. So am I the jerk? Edit? So I
was requested to add some information that I included in
the comments into my post, and I also just had
a long conversation with my fiance and my in laws,
so I have a small update to share as well.
Here's the infro from the comments. The hilarious part of
the whole prenup conversation was that they basically said that

(07:56):
they expected the prenup to only cover pre marital and
inherited asas they said they would absolutely refuse to accept
any clauses that include future assets. So if I want
to own a home where only my name is on
the title, I have to purchase it before the marriage
and also make sure to never use any of my
wife's money to pay the mortgage or anything. Apparently they

(08:16):
already had their lawyer write the whole thing up, but
wanted to give me a heads up so I can
retain my own lawyer to review it. I have a
suspicion that any lawyer is going to think it's massively unfair,
just based on how they're describing it, and I'm assuming
that they'll think I'll just get a cheap lawyer because
of my upbringing. Admittedly, I don't know any better, so
this is kind of difficult for me to determine what's

(08:37):
fair and what isn't. But it doesn't seem fair to me.
Besides that, though, it's also just a personal thing. I
want to live in a house that I own, not them,
not my wife alone. I'm happy to live in a
home that both my wife and I own, but not
one that she owns on her own. I don't want
someone else living in the house that I own. I
want to live in it myself. I also should mention

(08:58):
that currently my fiance and I share our finances. She
makes about one hundred and twenty K and I make
about two hundred and fifty K. We split things according
to income, so I pay around two thirds and she
pays around one third. Based on our conversations, my fiance
and I both expected this arrangement to continue after marriage.
As for the update, well, I'll start with the fiance's

(09:19):
older sister, who's twenty nine, calling me out of the
blue a few hours ago, telling me that her parents
did not ask her husband to sign a prenup before
they got married. Both of my fiance's sisters and my
fiance's brother in laws were at the dinner where her
parents talked about the house, so they both heard the
whole conversation. My fiance's sister thought, I deserved to know
my fiance's brother in law comes from a well off

(09:41):
family as well, but I don't know how well off,
or whether they're on the same level as my fiance's
family or just upper middle class. Their wedding was pretty extravagant.
My fiance's family is white and American, as is the
brother in law. I am Pakistani. I don't believe her
parents think less of me for this, but it seemed
like this information was important according to the comments. Anyway,

(10:02):
about three hours ago, my fiance finally came home. She
had stated at her parents' house because we had gotten
into quite the argument. I was expecting her to continue
the argument, but she actually came and apologized straight away.
Apparently her younger sister, who's twenty two, went off on
her after I left her parents' house. She really laid
into my fiance on how she was being inconsiderate because

(10:24):
everyone knew how important owning my home was to me.
She also said that her parents weren't treating me right
or equally. That made my fiance see my side, as
she said, but she was too embarrassed, which is why
she didn't come home last night. If you can't tell,
I'm a huge fan of my fiance's sister right now.
She's never been one for nonsense, while my fiance is
a bit of a people pleaser and definitely a daddy's girl,

(10:46):
and she's kind of always hoping for her father's approval.
My fiance has even said she knows that she needs
to work through that before we get married. I'm going
to buy her sister a cupcake. Then showed her the post,
and she got pretty uncomfortable reading a lot of the comments,
especially the one saying that she doesn't care about me.
She also got really uncomfortable when she read the comments
about her parents. I explained to her how I was

(11:08):
feeling like I was going into this as an unequal partner,
and she absolutely agreed that it wasn't fair. She even
said she was going to tell her parents that she
was going to refuse to sign the prenup. I told
her to slow down because she was going between extremes.
I told her that we still needed to get the
prenup because her family was already having difficulty accepting me,
and this was going to make it worse. However, I

(11:30):
told her that under no circumstances was I signing anything
her parents had a part in drafting, and that we
would each retain our own lawyers outside of her parents'
influence and get something that is fair and equitable. She agreed.
We then talked about the house and she said she
was going to tell her parents that she wasn't going
to accept unless both of our names were on it.
I told her to slow down again, and I got

(11:51):
her to agree to me paying for a quarter of it.
My initial proposal was to pay half, but she said
that what I said about it being a wedding present
so it should be for both of us was true.
So we came to the agreement that we would each
get half ownership of the house, with her parents paying
for seventy five percent of it and me using the
money I've saved plus a small mortgage for the other
twenty five percent. Both of our names will be on

(12:13):
the title. We then called her parents together and told
them our plan. They grumbled about it a bit initially,
especially because her dad was still upset that I had
been so ungrateful, but eventually we were able to talk
it through and they agreed to the plan. I doubt
this is the last I hear about this, but at
least for now, it seems like the situation is mostly resolved,

(12:33):
not the jerk. Honestly, I don't think they're terrible for
wanting to give a nice gift but also ensure their
investment goes to her in the event of a divorce.
In addition, I'm sure prenups are much more common and
less offensive in their world. That said, you've been dating
for six years, they know you, they presumably know your background,
home ownership goals, et cetera. Also a potential solution or

(12:54):
suggestion between the two of you own two homes plus
get some sweet Airbnb and come on one of them.
You will have a much easier time saving up for
the second while living in the first. ETA just make
sure your home is covered in the prenup two not
the jerk. I wouldn't live in a house that was
just owned by my wife, and vice versa and I
one hundred percent have a real world example. My wife

(13:17):
is a stay at home mom, and when we bought
our house, she had no income and the bank wanted
to leave her off the mortgage. I one hundred percent
refused and even paid a smaller interest rate increase to
make sure she knew it was both of ours home
and not just mine. She was pretty quiet about it,
my wife is a quiet person, but later broke down
crying about how much it made her feel like an

(13:37):
equal in our marriage and that I did so without
her saying a word. Stick to your guns. Either it's
a gift for both of you under both your names
or just by your own house, and fulfill that lifelong dream.
No jerks here leaning towards your the jerk. You're being shortsighted, dumb,
and prideful. You know what can happen when you don't
have rent or a mortgage. Your savings shoot up ridiculously fast.

(14:00):
They very quickly become a down payment for when you
want to buy property. People with money know how to
protect financial assets. If you love your fiance, nothing changes
when you sign the prenup. You're standing in your own
way of being insulted. They're giving you a house to
live in. Get your head out of your backside and
see how much of a leg up that gives you
as well. Your parents wanted a better life for you

(14:20):
and worked extremely hard, probably took low paying jobs to
provide for your family because they did not let their
pride come first. You're the jerk. Her parents are gifting
her a house for her wedding. If you have no
desire to take what is hers premaritally, you should have
no issue signing a prenup. You should want her to
be protected if you love her as much as you
say you do. Refusing to live in the house unless

(14:42):
they put your name on it shows what you're really about.
Not sorry, you're the jerk. When I pass, I'll leave
my house to my kid, not my kid and his spouse.
I don't plan on him ending up homeless if he
picks the wrong partner. Slight, you're the jerk. Don't let
the idea of a prenup get you all, man. If
you two don't get divorced, it won't even matter. And

(15:03):
if you do get divorced, then why should you get
to keep fifty percent of this house's financial value? Anyway?
Get your own lawyer. You can afford that now right,
Make sure the prenup is fair and limited in scope.
Then sign it and move on. This is a gift
with very few strings attached. Take advantage of it and
save your money for other things for your new family.
The house will be yours together in spirit. Well, who

(15:26):
do you think is the jerk? Op? Or is in laws?
Please let us know? Oh how I can't stand rich
people using things like prenups to protect their investments in
case of a divorce. People don't even get divorced these days,
and on the rare occasion that they do, it's not
like they fight over money or anything like that. She's
being facetious In case anyone can't tell am I the

(15:47):
jerk for deliberately embarrassing my father in law in front
of his family, I Mail thirty six, AM absolutely not
what you would call a handy kind of guy. I
can build an Ikea flat pack, and I can follow
a YouTube to tour on how to declog my washing machine,
but I don't have any what my father in law
Mail sixty would call worthwhile skills. I have to give

(16:08):
him the credit that he's due and say he's very
knowledgeable about plumbing, joinery, and electrics. He has often helped
me and my wife with matters in our home leaky pie,
some plastering work, et cetera, and we've always been grateful
and appreciative of his efforts. My skills are more it based.
I work in this field for a living, which means
I often get saddled with the old chestnuts, such as

(16:30):
can you fix the printer? Or the internet isn't working?
To me? These are simple issues to fix, but he's
very it illiterate. I never make a big deal about
this because it's the least I can do to repay
for his help. However, he spares no opportunity whatsoever to
take shots at my lack of worthwhile skills. He'll say,
often in front of family and friends, that I'm not

(16:51):
a real man, or that I'd be useless in an emergency,
that sort of thing. Because he does a lot of
stuff that I generally suck at, I bite my tongue
and I don't say anything to him. This week changed that.
We bought my daughter this massive climbing frame and swing
set for her birthday. My wife and I were able
to assemble most of it, but the last few bits,
as well as anchoring it into the ground, were giving

(17:14):
us issues. My brother happened to stop by to visit,
so he helped, but my wife also called father in
law to come and help. We got the job done,
but again the commentary continued, which was especially insulting considering
my brother was here yesterday we were out visiting him.
I was there, as was my wife, his wife, and
my wife's brother and his wife. He asked me if

(17:35):
I could take a look at his laptop as he'd
had some sort of a virus. When I fired it up,
it was one of those ransomware programs. Camera was showing
the webcam feed on a fake police website. I was
able to get his computer somewhat back to normal after
a while, which took longer than he would have liked,
according to his comments. While I was bringing it back,
he kept badgering me about what had caused the virus.

(17:57):
Looking through his Internet history revealed that he had been
looking at a lot of stuff that he wouldn't want
anyone to know about. It was out of my mouth
before I had even finished processing the thought. Loads of
these websites that you've been looking at have given you
viruses and dodgy stuff. I'll get you a membership from
my norton account. You could have cut the tension with
a knife. His wife looked super angry and sister in

(18:20):
law stifle to laugh. We left shortly after that, but
on the way out we heard the two of them arguing.
My wife gave me both barrels in the car, but
I said, he's always giving me hassle, and I keep
my mouth shut. Things have been frosty ever since, and
I wonder if I went too far. Am I the jerk?
Not the jerk, but your wife and her dad are.

(18:41):
If someone in my family was speaking to my husband
like that, I would have shut that crap down immediately.
They can treat you with respect or they can buzz off.
You and your wife need to have a talk then
established boundaries with her parents. I seriously can't stop laughing. Well, dad,
what did we learn today? He asked? Badgered you to
tell them what caused the problem? You did, so, could

(19:04):
you have done it better? Yeah? You could have offered
to teach him how to clean his browser history. But
do you do anything wrong? Not a bit? Play stupid games,
win stupid prizes. Am I the jerk for asking for
a tip back at a restaurant? This one's been keeping
me up all night. I twenty four female, and my boyfriend,
twenty four male. Like most people, appreciate a good bubble tea.

(19:26):
A week ago, we went out and grabbed lunch and
tea at a bubble tea place in our town. The
restaurant is not a full service restaurant, but it is
one of those places where you order at the front
and they yell out your number when it's ready. I
always thought the rule was that you tip and sit
down restaurants where you're being served, but not in places
where you grab something at the counter, unless you leave
a little change for a tip, jar and sit down restaurants.

(19:49):
I'm a stickler for always tipping at least twenty percent,
so we ordered, and the woman behind the register told
us the total about thirty five dollars for two meals
and drinks, a bit of a special split for as
student loan ease. I put my credit card into the
card reader and then took my hands off and waited
for the usual directions to pop up again without touching
the screen. They all came up as usual fifteen percent,

(20:12):
twenty percent, twenty two or twenty five. But then before
I could click skip or touch the machine at all,
the button for twenty percent lit up orange and automatically
charged me a seven dollars service tip. The woman at
the registry immediately printed and handed me the receipt for
forty two dollars. Flustered and in the heat of the moment,
I awkwardly explained that the price was wrong, that I

(20:33):
hadn't selected the tip, and that the machine had randomly
added it on. The woman behind the register looked at
me with a blank stare and said, so, do you
want me to take off the tip? I said yes, please.
The woman had to call over a manager, who also
gave me a blank stare and confirmed that I wanted
a refund for my tip. As they were printing off
a special receipt in silence, I wanted to milt into

(20:56):
a puddle on the floor. The manager handed me the
tip refund receipt without saying anything, and I said an
awkward thanks before scurrying off to the side to wait
for the food. As we waited, my boyfriend made a
joke about hoping the staff didn't do anything gross to
our food after what had just happened. I asked him
if what I had done was horribly awkward, and he said, well, yeah,

(21:18):
I wouldn't have asked for the tit back. I told
my family about what I did, and my dad disagreed.
He said the card reader was clearly broken or rigged,
and wondered if the rigging could have been intentional. My
mom thinks that's unlikely. My sister said that next time,
you should just pay the seven dollars. It's not worth it. Honestly,
I agree with my sister at this point. I'd absolutely

(21:40):
pay the extra seven dollars just to avoid that incredibly
awkward situation. But I have to ask reddit, Am I
the jerk not the jerk for asking for the tit
back because that sounds like some shady stuff. However, you
should really be planning to tip at least fifteen percent
on takeout orders at any establishment. Why because the owner
is offsetting their labor costs with your tips. The only

(22:02):
reason your order isn't more expensive is because they're expecting
you to subsidize their employees' wages. And for any of
those I reject tipping culture people, Yeah, it's awful, but
you're not changing the culture by not tipping. You're just
passing the hit onto the person making two dollars and
thirteen cents an hour. You're the jerk. In case you're wondering,
they totally did stuff to your food. I've worked in

(22:25):
the restaurant industry for almost ten years, and everywhere I've
ever worked, if we had someone pull some crap like this,
you don't even want to know what we would have
done to their food. If you can afford to go
out to eat, you can afford to tip take out
or not. If you seriously can't afford a seven dollars tip,
just stick to Dollar General hot dogs. You're the jerk.
Something tells me you've never worked in the food industry before.

(22:47):
It's always the people who have never worked in the
industry that feel entitled to great service but refuse to
leave a tip. Takeout still requires so much to go
on behind the scenes in order for you to get
your food. The least you could do is he've a
small tip for the people who work there. I guarantee
you that everyone working there that day talked about you
for the rest of their shift. I know I would have. Well,

(23:09):
what do you think, as Opie a jerk for asking
for the tip refunded or not? Please let us know.
After reading so many stories similar to this one, I
kind of just avoid restaurants like the Plague business class
upgrade if there is room. I used to work at
a regional airline. The jet we used for our flight
to the big city had six business class seats. The

(23:30):
business class service was really good for a two hour flight.
It included a full bar service, a hot meal warmed
bread basket, followed by a trolley with dessert and signature coffee.
The good old days. One of our regular travels was
a local business owner who was just a slimy businessman.
He had a reputation for making a lot of money
from some pretty shady deals. Over the years, we would

(23:52):
roll our eyes when we saw him coming to the
check encounter because he would always name drop and ask
for special treatment. He always used the business class check
in line, even though he was usually an economy. He
didn't have frequent flyer status, but he was buddies with
one of the airline executives and always let us know
this fact when he checked in by making sure to
tell us that he was good friends with Vice President Karen.

(24:14):
He would always ask for free upgrades, extra baggage, not
charging a change fee, last minute discounts, et cetera. If
he didn't get what he wanted, he immediately called VP Karen,
who would usually then call us and approve whatever it
was that he wanted. So one day, Jerk checks in
for his flight to the big City and of course
name drops and asks for a free upgrade to business

(24:35):
class because I'm friends with VP Karen and they said
it would be okay. He was traveling on a discounted
ticket that was not eligible for upgrade even if he
did have an upgrade coupon, which he didn't. I informed
him that he was not eligible for any upgrades on
this ticket and gave him his boarding pass and sent
him on his way. Of course, he flips open his

(24:55):
cell phone and immediately calls VP Karen. Within two minutes,
the phone at the check in desk rings and it's
VP Karen authorizing me to override the policy to upgrade
Jerk to business class with no upgrade coupon required if
there's room. The flight that day wasn't that busy, and
only one person booked in business class, leaving five open seats.

(25:17):
I was really irritated, but I begrudgingly put Jerk on
the upgrade list. Anyways, he returned to the check in
counter and picked up his stand by boarding card and
gave me that smug told you so look. But then
what VP Karen said clicked with me, if there's room.
The next passenger i'd checked in was a super nice lady,
big smile, friendly, please and thank you, oh, thank you

(25:40):
so much for checking my bags to my connecting flight.
That's so nice of you. I was taking my time
and we were chatting a bit since it wasn't that busy.
She was a teacher going on a trip they see
her family and it was her first visit with them
in over a year and was going to meet her
new nephew for the first time. She was over joy
just to have the time off the travel. I typed
in a few things into the computer to make it

(26:01):
look like I was checking something about her connecting flights,
and then said, oh, you've been selected today to receive
a free upgrade to business class. She was shocked. I've
never flown business class in my life. This is so amazing.
At that time, we were rarely questioned if we upgraded
someone without a certificate. Over the next twenty minutes, I
found excuses to upgrade four other passengers, one who worked

(26:24):
for one of our top corporate accounts, one who was
legitimately a frequent flyer. Can't remember the other reasons, but
by the time I went aboard the flight, I had
to tell Jerk that I was sorry, but business class
was full and I couldn't offer him an upgrade. Today,
the teacher I upgraded profusely thanked me again when she
boarded with the rest of the business class passengers. Little
did she know that it really made my day. Also,

(26:47):
my fiance let my snake loose outside, so I kicked
her out. I twenty seven mail have always been an
animal lover. I love snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, lizards, geckos, dogs
and cats. When I moved out of my parents' house
and into my town home, I decided to adopt a
ball python. She is very docile and loves to be held.

(27:07):
I set her tank up in one of the rooms downstairs.
When my fiance, twenty eight female, and I decided that
we were ready to move in together, I slowly introduced
her to the snake. She thought the snake was really
cool and even held her a few times. A few
months ago, her friends came over, and ever since she's
been asking me to find a new home for the snake.

(27:27):
I had to travel to another state for work and
trusted her to take care of the snake. I was
gone for a week, and when I came back, I
saw the tank completely gone. I searched all over the
house and it was nowhere to be found. I went
outside and checked the wooded area behind the town home
and found the tank. The tank was open and no
sign of the snake. When my fiance got home, I

(27:49):
showed her the tank and told her to go pack
a suitcase and to find another place to stay. Her
defense was that I was giving the snake too much attention.
Fiance is currently staying with her parents, and they think
that I'm overreacting over an animal. Fiance is upset that
I won't talk to her or accept her apology. Am
I the jerk for kicking my fiance out of the

(28:10):
house for letting my snake loose outside? It's illegal to
turn animals loose like that in the wild. Not the jerk.
Your fiance is messed off, agreed. The snake very well
might not live due to the fact that it's used
to being a pet and not used to being outside.
This would be like letting a dog run free. Ohp
should break off the engagement. I almost always consider this

(28:33):
subs recommendations to end marriages, break off engagements, go no contact,
et cetera to be heavy handed. But this one is
messed up on so many levels. The casual animal mistreatment,
the fact that she did this to something she knew
you love, the jealousy towards a pet, the secret betrayal,
and not to mention her family backing her up that
all of this is no big deal. OPI, your life

(28:55):
will be horrible if you marry this messed up person
and her messed up family. Not the jerk. I think
a lot of the breakup recommendations are good, to be honest.
My perspective is if it comes to the point where
they are asking anonymous strangers for their opinions about relationships,
then there's probably a lot more issues going on too,
meaning the relationship probably won't last. Am I the jerk

(29:17):
for serving my brother in law's dinner using toy utensils?
I mail seventeen. Moved in with my sister after my
parents kicked me out another story. They said I'll have
to temporarily stay here until I get back to normal,
which I don't think I will. But anyways, so I
moved in with my sister and her husband about a
month ago. FYI, she does everything around the house. I

(29:40):
started helping here and there, as well as looking after
a two year old niece, and now she's six months pregnant.
Brother in law does nothing because he's the bread winner,
as he claims, but in my opinion, he's taking it
a bit too far. Example, he'd tell her to start
his laundry once he takes it off, put dinner on
the table once he's home, get the shower ready, and
so on. They fight a lot because my sister is

(30:03):
exhausted and burnt out. I usually put my headphones on
and mind my own business, but two nights ago, there
was a lot of commotion once he came home, so
I went to see what the issue was. Turns out
brother in law was complaining about dinner and my sister
was too exhausted to get up. I mean, the dinner
was already cooked, but he wanted her toup put it
on a plate for him on the table. I told

(30:24):
my sister I'd do it, but instead of using their
kitchen utensils, I used my niece's toy utensils like a
toy cup, toy plate, toy fork, and a tiny napkin.
And I put the food on the toy plate and
the drink in the cup while brother in law was
in the shower. He then came into the kitchen and
sat down and stared at the plate for a few seconds.
He then looked at me and asked what the heck

(30:46):
this was and whether I was joking. I told him
if he wanted to act like a helpless child, then
he might as well get treated like one. He began
yelling and my sister came inside. He then threw the
napkin and stormed off upon saying that I disrespected him
and that he'll let my parents know about what I did.
My sister saw what I had done and started laughing.

(31:07):
I went into my room, but the argument didn't stop.
Now he's expecting an apology from me from meddling in
his marriage and pulling this crappy stunt on him. I
could be the jerk for this, but I was just
so mad for my sister and also sick and tired
of being sick and tired of the nightly fighting over dinner. Okay,
so this is really funny and he totally had it coming.

(31:28):
But we all know you should have stayed way out
of this. I get that you were trying to stick
up for your sister, who deserves that. Please accept my
softest everyone sucks here. You might have actually made them
fight more. People like your brother in law often take
these things out on people like your sister. Yeah. I mean,
I agree that while it was definitely well deserved, it

(31:49):
probably wasn't the smartest thing to do fur Op, since
he needs to make sure he still has a place
to live and for the sister for the reasons you said.
Although from the post it does sound like the sister
also found it funny and wasn't mad at him for
doing that. Who knows, maybe sister is also reconsidering staying
married to this jerk. So yeah, agreed with the very

(32:09):
very soft everyone sucks here, not the jerk, but honestly, OPI.
In this situation, it might be better to keep your
head low and stop antagonizing him. It sounds like you're
surrounded by a really bad situation, but antagonizing this monster
is going to affect your sister more than it affects you.
You're a guest in their home. If she needs help,
you help her. Ignore him. At best, you don't have

(32:31):
to be a peacekeeper, but don't do the opposite. Everyone
sucks here, but what you did was hilarious. Andy had
it coming. Support our channel by joining as a member

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customersโ€”who have become friendsโ€”to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. โ€œFoods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,โ€ says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarรณn, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafeโ€™s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
