Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, mister Redder here, welcome back to another episode
of Reddit podcast Stories. Our first story will be reading today.
My girlfriend is trying to make me shower more than
once a week. Not gonna happen. After that, Boss told
me to deep clean the back and to not come
out to the front for any reason, so I did.
And after that, am I the jerk for saying my

(00:20):
wedding will be a no young adult's wedding even though
my family isn't happy about it. Now, for every thumbs up,
this video gits one. Karen has to shower more than
once a week. You can't tell anyone to shower more. Reddit, boy,
you smell like my grandma's cat after the snow thought
out we found her. So please smash that like button
and subscribe and turn on notifications for new stories for

(00:42):
Reddit every single day. My girlfriend is trying to make
me shower more than once a week. Not gonna happen.
H twenty four mail. Know that a lot of people
will just look at the title and just say I'm
in the wrong because of the stigma, but hear me out.
It's winter where I live, so I'm consistently cold and
not really sweating or anything. I usually shower when I

(01:03):
feel gross, and it usually takes me five to six
days before I actually start to feel gross. I'm not crazy.
In this summer, when it's hot and sticky, I shower
every two to three days like normal, but it just
doesn't feel necessary in the winter anyway. The inciding incident
here was on Sunday. I was ordering more shampoo and
commented on how the price had almost doubled since last time.

(01:24):
My girlfriend, who's twenty nine, asked when I last ordered it,
and it was sometime in mid twenty twenty. She was shocked,
How did it take you almost three years to go
through a single bottle of shampoo? I told her that
I don't use a lot, and eventually we got into
how frequently I shower, and she acted like I was crazy.
She didn't even know that I was averaging one shower

(01:44):
a week because I keep good hygiene. I grew myself
regularly and I wear deoderant, so I don't think anyone
can really tell the difference. Then my girlfriend, we'll call
her GRANTEDE just starts going on about how oh that
explains the smell and stuff like that. I totally think
she was just making it up at this point, I've
been dating her for two years and she's never commented

(02:05):
about my smell or anything. There's no way she just
happened to decide that I smell bad now that she
knows my shower schedule. She's just trying to shame me.
We argued for a while about it, and then she
went home. Today I saw my mom, who's fifty six,
for lunch, and I told her about it. She agreed
with me that it's fine and that she's never thought
that I looked greasy or unclean. My mom also said

(02:28):
that I should consider showering at least a couple of
times a week. If granted, has a problem with it,
but if she can't actually tell the difference, why bother.
I'm considering trying to say that I'm showering every other
day but keeping my normal routine. If she can actually
tell the difference, she will know, But if not, then
it will just be a little white lie. Is this
wrong for me to do? Am I a supervillain just

(02:49):
because I'm not following the societal norm? I remember reading
that overshowering can cause head lies, but no one even
talks about that reddit. Has anyone else been in a
similar scenario. Update. Hey, everyone appreciate the comments from people
who are kind and tactful in their replies. I've done
some research after seeing the overwhelming amount of responses, and
I'm going to start showering more to prevent the build

(03:12):
up of harmful bacteria. Also, some people pointed out that
I accidentally said granite for the fake name. I'm dyslexic
and I meant to put garnet. Thanks for coming out everybody.
Hope you all have a good night. You're the jerk. Look.
I only shower every two to three days too. It's
better for your skin and hair moisture. Can't find anything

(03:32):
about headlicce though, and I don't know where you're in
so much contact with lice that it's a concern. But
your girlfriend is much closer to much smellier parts of
you than your mom is. It's entirely possible she's been
playing down your smell so she didn't embarrass you. Now
that she knows it's a stubborn choice at her expense,
she's not going to power through. If you're worried about
your skin, make them cold showers and moisturize after you're

(03:55):
the jerk. Listen. I'm unemployed and I sit on my
butt all day. Do not get warm. I shower every
three days. If I were with someone or hope they
would get near me, you better believe that I'd be
showering every day or every other day. You're the jerk.
IW The fact you're looking for acceptance on this instead
of taking five minutes out of your day to shower

(04:18):
speaks volumes. You're the jerk. A shower takes ten minutes.
Your girlfriend has been tolerating your smell for two years,
afraid to upset you by saying anything. What kind of
voodoo science believes showering could cause parasites? Not the jerk.
Water shortage crisis in America is a real thing. One
thing I will never understand about Americans is how you

(04:39):
all act like you care about preserving water, electricity, and
the environment. Yet here you have a man literally preserving
water by taking a shower once a week, and you
all treat him as if he's scum for it. It
is heartbreaking to see in my country nobody takes a
daily shower, and once a week would be considered a
very fortunate opportunity for the upper middle class. Yes, when

(05:00):
I was younger, I didn't even know what a shower was.
We would just wash ourselves off with wet rags every
so often. It seems to me that the privilege many
of you have has completely gone to your head, and
you look down on others who don't see the need
to take a shower every day, thereby wasting hundreds of
gallons of water. If anything, I applaud op for going
against the norm and not giving in to wasting water

(05:22):
like most Americans. Edit. You can disagree with me all
you want, but calling me hurtful names and scolding me
and insulting my country and its people is not acceptable.
I know there are many Karns in America because I've
read many of the stories. But it's unfortunate that so
many of the younger people as well, who are supposed
to be more open and accepting than the older generations.

(05:43):
Is to be perfectly honest, no different in how judgmental
you all are. Edit too, since some of you brought
it up, Yes, toilet paper is another completely unnecessary waste,
as long as you wash your hands properly afterwards, hand
is a much cleaner and more sanitary way to clean
up after your business. Well. Who do you think is
the jerk opie or his girlfriend? Please let us know, Bruh.

(06:07):
All dudes start to get stinky after about a day
or so. It's just part of being a mion. Just
take a shower, bro. Boss told me to deep clean
the back and to not come out to the front
for any reason. So I did. I'm a twenty year
old male that works at a very popular restaurant in
a very snobby area. My main job is to assist
the servers in any way I can, so they only

(06:29):
have to worry about sweet talking the customers. I do
all the heavy lifting for them, whether it's cleaning their
tables or taking their drinks and food to their tables,
I'm doing it, and all they have to do is
focus on making the customers laugh. They get tips that
range from seventeen to forty dollars per table, while I
make eight dollars an hour and I get treated poorly enough. Backstory,

(06:50):
cue the malicious compliance. My manager came up to me
in a I'm better than you mood and told me
to deep clean the floors, ice makers, wallssh cans, and racks,
and to not come to the front for any reason.
I'm very annoyed at this because none of those things
are my job duties. We have a staff that deals
with all the cleaning of the back, so it didn't

(07:11):
make any sense to have me do it. These tasks
would have taken me an hour and a half max.
But I was feeling a bit cheeky and decided to
really deep clean the back until it was spotless. About
thirty minutes later, the same manager comes up to me
and tells me that there are four tables that need cleaning,
and two other tables just got set and I need
to bring their drinks to them. I looked at this

(07:32):
man with a stare of a twenty year old that
has no bills to pay, and I said, no, I'm
not done cleaning. He looked shocked and responded angrily, you
can finish later. They need help, and I countered with no,
it's filthy here. We don't want a health inspector to
just walk into this filth dewey. He storms off like
a toddler that didn't get their candy. Two hours go

(07:54):
by and I'm on my hands and knees scrubbing as
if I was working for Chef Gordon Ramsay himself. The
same manager comes back again with a smirk and says, Wow,
this looks like it's going to take you all day long.
Maybe you should come to the front and help the
servers since there's a huge Sunday rush. I replied with,
you know, you might just be right, and I go

(08:15):
back to cleaning. He storms off again. Fast forward to
two minutes before my shift ends. My knees, legs, and
fingers are all aching from cleaning. I shuffle my way
to the front, where my manager has been waiting for me,
and he says, you finally decided to come help. Huh.
And I look at him without saying anything and clocked out.
And then I tell him, sorry, I'm not clocked in.

(08:37):
I walked out to my car while he was blowing
my phone off. I didn't care. I had five days
off back to back, and he can't fire me since
I did as he told me to. The moral of
the story is, don't think you're better than someone that
has nothing to lose. Edit. For all the people that
have been commenting that he can fire you, yeah, you're right,
he could, but he won't do that because I'm the

(08:59):
only one that is worth in the position and no
one has applied to come work at the place for
eight dollars an hour. There are more details to the
story than what I told, so instead of trying to
be smart, just ask why do you say that, instead
of assuming I'm just some entitled kid who thinks they
can run the world. Thank you for reading edit too.
Good morning everyone. Sorry I can't read most of y'all's posts,

(09:20):
but i'd like to say thank you and answer a
couple of questions. I don't have any living, food, or
insurance bills. The only things I have to pay for
are my flight school and saving up for a car,
which I don't consider bills since I'm not being hunted
down for those. I'm also having a job interview tomorrow
at a place that pays seventeen dollars an hour, and
I'll be working one third of what I am at

(09:40):
my current restaurant job. Lastly, I do get tip shares
from the servers, but it goes straight to my paycheck,
so that means that the servers can report less of
what they make and give me less. So instead of
making eight dollars an hour, I'm making nine dollars an hour.
I did the math through my paycheck. Thanks for reading,
am I the jerk for saying my wedding will be

(10:01):
a no young adult's wedding, even though my family isn't
happy about it. I fifty five male, have always loved kids,
even though I never wanted to have any of my own.
And July will be twenty years since I married my wife,
who's forty eight. We were talking about having a big
party to celebrate and decided to redo our vows as
well for context. I have come to seriously dislike this

(10:23):
trend of child free weddings. Yes, they make noise and
don't behave perfectly, but that's what makes weddings fun. Most
weddings nowadays are so boring and lifeless. Recently, two young
cousins and a niece, all in their twenties, had child
free weddings. As I said, I don't have kids, but
that bugged me. When the first child free wedding was announced,

(10:44):
I expressed disappointment but didn't push or say anything else.
When my niece also decided to have a child free wedding,
I talked to my sister in private ones and never
mentioned anymore. My sister also thought it wasn't good to
exclude the kids, but that's what my niece wanted the
third wedding was no under eighteens, which I think is
even more absurd, but this time said nothing, so did

(11:07):
the question in hand. Last week I sent a message
in the family group chat telling people to save the
date that we were planning a second wedding and a
big party to celebrate our twentieth anniversary, and just to
be cheeky, I joked that this would be a no
young adult's wedding, so no eighteens to twenty nine. This
was a joke and I never intended on enforcing this.

(11:28):
I was just trying to make a point about the
absurdity of excluding people from weddings based on age. Well,
as you can imagine, that didn't go over very well.
People asked why, and I said, it's because it's going
to be an open bar and young people don't know
how to behave and drink responsibly, similar to one excuse
for the child free weddings, because people will drink. My

(11:48):
niece caught on that I was joking, but sent me
a message privately saying it was hurtful for me to
make fun of her wedding day. I said I wasn't
making fun of it, only pointing out the absurdity of
not allowing kids. Soon I came clean on the chat
that it was just a joke. Most already had seen
it for what it was, but people were still saying
that I was a jerk. I didn't think it was

(12:08):
bad until my wife saw the thread and went berserk
on me. I hadn't even realized she wasn't reading the text.
As the situation unfolded. She apologized in the chat and
told me my idiotic joke could have ruined our anniversary
if I hadn't already. She was embarrassed and hurt. Am
I the jerk for trying to make a point about
child free weddings? Am I the jerk for doing it

(12:30):
without telling my wife? Am I the jerk for thinking
excluding people from weddings based on age is stupid? Am
I the jerk for embarrassing my wife? You're the jerk.
There's nothing absurd about not wanting kids at a wedding.
I don't understand what's so hard to understand about that.
This is the fourth post I've read on this forum
about child free weddings just today. You're the jerk. Child

(12:52):
free weddings are very reasonable, they cry yell, make scenes.
It's more than reasonable to not want them at a wedding.
You're the jerk. Get off your high horse. You sound
ridiculous saying how disappointed you were at your family's child
free weddings. Were you paying for the weddings? Did you
volunteer to babysit all of the kids? If not, shut

(13:12):
up and sit down. As far as your immature, passive
aggressive joke, it backfired because it was dumb way to
take away the focus of an event that should be
romantic and should be about yours and your wife's love
and commitment to each other. I hope for your wife's sake,
you can turn this around. You owe everyone a huge apology,
and you owe your wife and niece an enormous apology

(13:34):
for turning your anniversary into a joke and making it
all about you and your ridiculous judgment. You are the
jerk for going out of your way to stick it
to people. Let's face it, it wasn't a joke. You
were making a point, as you admitted yourself, and it's
none of your business how other people choose to have
their weddings. You could invite kids to your celebration, but

(13:54):
this was just petty. Well, what do you think is
OPI the jerk for the joke he made or not?
Please let us know. Can't give me the business loan
I need. Okay, I'll use your quote to secure a
better one. I own a small business and due to
recent positive exposure, I've been getting inundated with new customers.
Due to the increased flow of people, I've needed to

(14:15):
expand my brick and mortar to accommodate more people, things
like retiling the bathroom, fixing up our patio area, installing
better ventilation, et cetera. However, due to the current economic outlook,
a lot of small business loan lenders are a bit
more skittish about giving out larger loans. I decided to
use a popular site that puts small businesses with lenders

(14:36):
who will give them term loans at decent rates. After
going through several lenders, I found one that had the
amount I wanted for the APR I was looking for.
The rep seemed nice in the beginning. He was very
cordial and explained the process, background check, paperwork, et cetera
that I would need to sign and submit to secure
the loan. At this point in this story, I should

(14:57):
note that the lender connect company has a policy that is,
if I get a better offer from one of the
other connector companies they put you in touch with, if
it's within ten thousand dollars, they'll match it with another
lender if they can get you a better rate. So,
after talking to this guy over the course of a week,
I get an offer for the exact amount and percentage
rate that I want it. I tell him that I
need a day to read through it all and i'll

(15:18):
get back to him. I figure, if I'm going to
take on a large sum of money, I should at
least know the finer details of the contract. An hour later,
he starts saying that this offer is only on the
table for the next two hours, and that if I
wait longer, he will pull it and only be able
to give me a lower amount at a higher rate.
He then proceeds to tell me that only his company
can get me the amount I need and no one

(15:40):
else can, so they are my only option, and that
I need to accept right now or else I'll be
out of options. Que the malicious compliance, I immediately call
the main lender connect rep who put me in contact
with this rep. I explained that I received a great
offer from them, but I wanted to see if another
company could give me a similar loan amount for a
better entry, and quoted them their policy of matching with

(16:02):
another of the lending companies they work with. The rep
said to give them thirty minutes. Thirty five minutes later,
they tell me that they found another company that would
give me a loan that's two percent lower interest rate
and five thousand dollars more than the other company. I say, great,
get on the phone and sign with them. One hour later,
I called the jerk back. He sounded super smug, assuming

(16:25):
that I would have no other options but him, and
asks if I have signed the contract. I say I
did with another company since he's operating by the Linder
Connect's guidelines, I submitted his quote and I was able
to secure a better loan. I get silence on the
phone for five seconds and he mumbles out cool beans.
I then wish him a great day and good luck

(16:45):
with securing clients, and in the call, gotta love company policies.
Anyone who tries to pressure you into signing immediately is
hiding something could be relatively benign, like I need to
get this deal across the line today to hit my bone,
or it could be something catastrophic like unfairly heavy penalties
for late payment. But there is always a reason they

(17:06):
don't want you to look too closely at the document.
You should have seen it. I was talking with a
few coworkers and apparently something I'd gotten super used to
doing in a previous job I did at the hotel
and blew a handful of colleagues away. Backstory. I used
to be in retail in an area bursting with old
money people who have lived their whole lives being catered

(17:27):
to and being told yes I was off in one
of the few people who told them no. There was
a waiting list in my profession, and you couldn't bribe, complain, threaten,
or be nice to get further up that list. People
still tried, and I learned how to stand my ground
against senators, CEOs, lawyers, just old money people not to
mention their wives. With that job, I got amazingly good

(17:50):
at being strict and no nonsense. In life, I stopped
taking anything. It really comes in handy, both in life
and professionally. The story on our wedding block resume sales
gives us the time of the shuttle departure and the ceremony.
On this weekend, a half hour before the shuttle was
going to arrive, guests started coming down in cocktail dress.

(18:10):
I was on midshift, and the PM guy and I
are going about our business and complimenting the occasional outfit.
It starts to feel like it's been a while when
my coworker points out its departure time for the shuttle.
Though it's not here. Okay, weird. Ten after and it
still hasn't arrived twenty minutes later, and the ceremony is
starting soon. Then the front desk gets a phone call

(18:32):
that I pick up. Thank you for calling the hotel.
This is Valai speaking. How may I help you? Hello?
Is this a super full name of the hotel? Yes
it is. How may I assist you? This is Mary
Sue from the shuttle service that's supposed to pick everyone up.
Are there wedding guests in the lobby? I look at
our bursting lobby. Yes, there are changes from professional to

(18:54):
exasperated casual talk. Oh boy, look you see the bride
never paid us, not even a deposit, so we told
her we're not coming, but we never heard back from her.
I noticed the date and time, and decided to check
if she had found a different shuttle. Is the wedding
still at this time? Oh crap, it is. I'm really sorry,

(19:15):
it's fine, thanks for calling. Good luck. I hang up
the phone and ignore my coworker who's looking at me
confused and a bit worried. I take a deep breath,
move from behind the front desk so I'm in front
of it, and loudly clap my hands twice. Can I
please have the attention of Jim and Jane's wedding guests.
We've just received a word from the shuttle that they
will not be arriving, so please use your personal vehicles

(19:37):
to drive to the venue. The front desk will be
happy to provide the venue's name and address. If that
wasn't provided to you, please remember it not to drink
and drive. Our bar will be open for drinks until
two am if you're a designated driver. Enjoy the wedding.
People just looked at each other and walked out. I've
never seen a group leave a lobby so organized. I
stepped back behind the desk and my coworker was looking

(20:00):
at me with bug eyes. I looked at him and
just said I don't do shoot the messenger, he replied,
I see that. I go over to the bar to
update them. Expect patrons tonight. The bride messed up the shuttle,
so hopefully there'll be designated drivers. Yeah, we could hear
that over here. Impressive, Thank you. Hope you get tipped well.

(20:21):
Somehow this became a story in the hotel and bar.
When I talked with that coworker later in a circle
with a couple of other front desk associates, he said,
you should have seen it. She didn't pause for a moment,
just hung up the phone and walked out there without pausing,
and literally nobody got upset at us. Moral of the
story from me to anyone in customer service. Sometimes you

(20:42):
have to leave no room for argument. Just state the
situation and don't accept any pushback. I didn't let anyone
get mad at me, the front desk lady, just telling
them the situation, and they didn't. Don't let guests bully
you for anything. Work on it, and you'll get there
when you inevitably get into a similar such situation. Good luck,

(21:02):
Am I the jerk for giving the dream vacation of
my ex fiance to her sister? And husband. I met
my ex's sister in high school when she started dating
my best friend during our senior year. She got pregnant
and they married soon after. After high school, I joined
the military. I served six years before getting medically discharged.
Ex and I started dating. I got a good job

(21:24):
that would have me leave a couple times a month,
up to ten days at a time. While doing some
last minute wedding planning, a text from her sister popped up,
asking have you told op about what you did with
your ex boyfriend. If you don't tell him tonight, I
will tomorrow. I asked her what was that. She tried
to play it off. I kept pressing her, and she

(21:44):
said that during her bachelorette party she ran into him,
but nothing had happened. It was an obvious lie. I
went through her phone when she fell asleep. There were
texts and pictures with him all the way back from
when we started dating. They would hook up every time
I went on work trips. Sent proof to my phone.
I woke her up and kicked her out and ended
the relationship. She did the cheater script. I told her

(22:08):
Stephanie looked a lot like her ex boyfriend and showed
her one of the screenshots of them together. She started
to cry and I gently got her out the door.
I canceled all wedding plans and needed some help calling
guests to inform them that the wedding was off. My
friend's wife said that during the bachelorette party she caught
them sneaking away together. When she confronted them, she gave

(22:29):
my ex the option of coming clean to me herself
or she would do it. She did not know it
was an ongoing thing. Now on to the honeymoon vacation.
I had planned it so that it would be perfect
for my ex. It was a ten day trip to
another country that she had always said was a once
in a lifetime bucket list place. There were nice hotels,
amazing experiences, and overall her dream vacation. I was already

(22:52):
out about ten thousand dollars for the wedding and more
if I canceled the honeymoon trip. I made the decision
to offer it up to them, since I knew that
they never had a honeymoon or any real vacations since
they got married when they were young and they had
had kids. Also, they just saved me money and time.
They accepted they were able to get the time off
work and made arrangements for the kids for the trip.

(23:15):
My ex found out about it, and she flipped out
and was calling me and texting me about how much
of a jerk I am for doing that to her,
how I knew that it was her dream vacation, How
I ruined her life. I got messages from her friends
and some of her family that she lied to and
blamed me for the breakup. Her ex even texted me
saying that I'm not a real man, and then threatened

(23:35):
me she must have went there last night as he
shouldn't even have my number. I've not responded to them
at all. But am I the jerk for giving my
cheating ex fiance's dream honeymoon to her sister and my
best friend? Take the threat to the police. You owe
your cheating ex literally nothing. Not the jerk. I hope
her sister will have the best time and won't stop

(23:57):
talking about the awesome vacation for years. Not the jerk?
Am I the jerk for selling a used car? And
when the buyer called me a week later complaining reminding
her it's a used car. Eight days ago, I sold
a used car to a woman. I was the second owner,
and I know every nut and bolt that has ever
been touched on this thing. First owner was my mother

(24:18):
in law, and she gave me three folders worth of
paper documenting every little thing from the day she took
the key from the dealer. Also, I just had the
emissions tested six months ago. I've driven it about five
hundred miles since then. I only sold it because I
was handed a crazy deal on a newer car, well
A twenty twelve, and I can't drive too. My phone

(24:38):
rings today. The woman tells me she registered at Monday,
but she took it to a mechanic and he said
the catalytic converter was ruined and was throwing codes. Okay, well,
I immediately suspect that mechanic, as the code that she
mentioned is almost always the O two sensor and rarely
the catalytic converter failing. It's absolutely possible that the cat failed,

(24:58):
But honestly, that's not the thing you jump to. First.
You change the two sensors and clear the code and
see if it comes back. In fact, you should change
front and rear sensors because that will eliminate both from
the problem. As the code covers both sensors and the
cat anyway. She tells me the story. I replied, Okay, well,

(25:19):
what can you do to help me? This is very expensive.
You bought a used car as is. I can't help
you if you think I'm financially responsible for this. The
sweet voice disappears. She got instamat well, I think you
should do something. This feels like a scam. This is
gonna cost me so much money. Lady, I think the

(25:39):
mechanic is lying to you. You should definitely take it
somewhere else. Now she starts actually yelling into the phone.
You sold me a piece of crap that was broken.
You never said the catalytic converter. Oh no, so I yell,
ma'am repeatedly until she stops talking. Let me stop you there.
You bought a used car as is. Do not call

(26:00):
me about this car again. And I hung up and
blocked the number. Now I know there is an exhaust
leak just after the muffler, and I told her that
the emissions test place said that has no bearing on
the results, as the cat was processing the exhaust before
it hit the leak, and the leak is literally two
inches from the exhaust tip at the back end again.
I disclosed the leak and the vibrating heat shield that

(26:23):
needs tightening every year or two. I told her everything,
right down to the fact that I lost a ten
millimeter bolt for the belt shroud and ZIP tied it down.
I tried to be one hundred percent transparent and she
bought it anyway. I feel bad because I think a
shop is trying to scammer for a cat and rear
two centser when it's probably just the O two. But
now I'm blocking her and not telling her that because

(26:45):
she went from zero to nine hundred and eighty seven
miles per hour yelling at me. Am I the jerk,
not the jerk. So I know nothing about cars, But
if you buy a fifteen year old car with some
mileage on it, it will have problems, and then you
either take to the shop before you buy, have someone
you know take a look at it before you buy,
or you just don't buy a used car. Ignore her

(27:07):
and make sure to keep both the AD and the
document of sale. Not the jerk. Seems like you did
everything you could to inform her of the condition of
the car. Once she bought it, everything on it was
her responsibility. Heck, she might even be trying to scam you.
What proof do you have that anything she said was true?
Maybe she's just trying to get money back from you.

Karen demands Disney only gifts for her daughter's birthday party.
My niece just turned five and we got her a
Magic Mixy. It's like a magic cauldron toy. My sister,
Elsa has a strict Disney toy only policy and literally
gives us lists of acceptable Disney only toys. But that's
not what my niece wanted. She's been obsessed with getting

(27:50):
a Magic Mixy since her friend got one. My brother
in law doesn't care and gets her other stuff all
the time. I texted him and he said it was
okay to not stick to the list since the grandparents
got her stuff that wasn't Disney related. He said he
wants niece to branch out more and to ignore the list.
Elsa is a Disney adult. Everything has to be Disney related.

(28:12):
Before my niece was born, Elsa sent out a Facebook
post and a family wide email that anything without a
Disney character on it, toys, clothes, bedding, furniture, anything would
get thrown out, not donated, thrown out We've never actually
sent my niece a gift at all because we know
Elsa would throw it away. Disney is her esthetic, and

(28:33):
she'll throw things away in front of the people who
gift them to her if they're not plastered with cartoon characters.
At her birthday party, my niece opened the magic mixy
and went bananas. Elsa didn't say anything other than a
neutral how cute, and then moved on to something else.
After the party was over, Elsa went crazy and said
it was my fault that she has to throw her

(28:54):
kid's toy away. Apparently her and brother in law got
into a big fight when she tried to throw it
out during the party. She also tried to give it
to several of the parents at the party. The moms
from her mom group called her insensitive that she had
tried to get rid of a toy her kid was
so excited about, and asked if she was going to
do that with their gifts. My mom called me later

(29:15):
and said I was a huge jerk for not sticking
to what Elsa wanted and for making her anxious about
the presence because I guess. After the party, her mom
group of friends got upset with her and they found
out that she throws away gifts, so she and niece
are uninvited from a lot of Spring activities. Am I
the jerk for not giving in to a Disney adult
and getting the kid the toy that they actually wanted?

(29:38):
Not the jerk? Does Disney have a psychiatrist character that
Elsa would be willing to speak with? OPI I wish.
I think the Disney thing has to do a little
bit with maybe cloud or money. We grew up poor,
and I think my sister thinks rich people like Disney.
She really seems to conflate Disney with high quality and
high class, which is super weird. Refuse to pay me

(30:01):
for piano lessons? Okay, I'll count every minute and charge accordingly.
When I was fourteen, I was qualified fully in my
country in a piano playing performance qualification. I had worked
really hard for this and was so proud my parents too.
I was too young to join paid orchestras and they
didn't exist near me, so instead I handed out business

(30:21):
cards to residents nearby in a fairly wealthy area and
thought I could make some money teaching after school. Teachers
in the area were charging twenty euros per half hour.
So I charged seventeen because of my age, and got
very lucky that a few mums caught on and switched
to me instead. I quickly had four to five kids
slash adults to teach every single week night in an

(30:43):
area I could bike around. This was roughly four hundred
euros every single week. An hour's lesson was fifty minimum
with a short water break an explanation of homework at
the end. A half hour lesson was twenty five minutes
with explanation and homework at the end. I made all
of this very clear and learned it was necessary through
time to walk people carefully through homework and exam prep.

(31:06):
These parents paid ten lessons in advance every time, and
I kept a calendar and updated parents weekly on where
they were at. One parent would always ask for a
full summary of all ten weeks for all three of
her kids, and I was happy to provide it. Suddenly,
one week she decided she didn't owe me money for
the next ten lessons until I had made up for
lost time. I was obviously very confused and asked her

(31:30):
what she meant. She cited the reason that I cut
five minutes off every thirty minutes and ten minutes off
every hour, so I should teach that extra time before
getting more money. Here's the real kicker. Her kids were
horribly behaved. They were easily the most spoiled and titled
kids I taught, and often said things like since we
pay you, don't you work for me? They were ages

(31:52):
six through eleven. She had also referred me to a
lot of other parents, so I was concerned about my
jobs because her kids behaved badly and didn't do homework.
I always spend extra time with them, five to ten
minutes per week because they needed it. But okay, sure
you want me to work that time, No problem. So
I decided to tell this mother from now on, I

(32:13):
would set a timer and charge every minute on that
timer and show her when I clicked it on and off,
and gave a huge apology. You can imagine her shock
at the end of the ten weeks when she saw
that the kids combined thirty hours was actually more like
thirty six, the thirty seven that she had to pay for.
She never bothered me about the timing ever again, and
rushed through every homework or exam prep explanation, getting me
