Welcome back to another episode of R/Intitled People Stories. Our first story we'll be reading today. Karen X demands I adopt her purebred dog.

But Spike needs a good home! Rugrats for the win! So please tap that like button and subscribe and turn on notifications for new stories from Reddit every single day. Karen X demands I adopt her purebred dog. In the final two months of our three-year but quickly dissolving relationship, my ex bought a two-month-old purebred Labrador Retriever, a puppy to the tune of $1,200. For the sake of clarity, we both knew our relationship was in the end stages, but neither of us were ready to deal the final break. We talked about the dog and I was fine with it, but she would pay for it and everything associated with it was in her name. We also had three cats that I adopted from the local APL. They were all in my name and I paid for their care and so on. The cats were absolutely terrified of the dog, which hastened the end of our relationship. The cats came with me and moved out. Overall amicable separation, but we did not keep in contact. I never asked about the dog nor did she ask about my cats. Two years later, she gets in touch with me and asks me to take in our dog for some time. She was moving in with her boyfriend, who I had since learned she had been seen before we broke up and his apartment didn't allow pets. She asked that I take care of our dog until they bought a house together. I said no. She asked why. I said I didn't want to. She tried to talk about how I cared for the dog and that he was part of my family too, etc. Look, I liked the dog well enough and was more than happy to take care of him while I lived with her, but I don't want a dog for any amount of time. I have four cats now, my own house, an unpredictable work schedule, and no desire for a dog and the increased responsibility that comes with one. I told her to look for long-term boarding kennels, she said she would never. Eventually, she straight up begged me, saying they were going to buy a home ASAP, but how long I was to look after him could be anywhere from a week to a few months. I said no, final answer. She blocked me and I went about my life. A few days ago, she unblocked me and unleashed a text barrage to the effect that I had gotten her dog taken away from her and I owed her the price she paid for him. Apparently, she surrendered him to the local APL, believing they would just hold him for her. Anyway, the dog was adopted out very quickly and unsurprisingly. A well-mannered, purebred dog at the local APL, few and far between. Why she didn't, you know, board him somewhere is a great question. Like I said, I suggested it, but I'm also the devil, so she disregarded it immediately. Some of my family who knew her while we were together think I'm the jerk, am I? Not the jerk, it's a shelter, not a pawn shop. You don't get your dog back from a shelter, that's common sense. My dogs are my kids, but they are pets, and pets are not subject to any kind of joint custody agreement where an ex is obligated to take them. If she couldn't afford to live in a place that allowed a pet until she could buy a house, that certainly sucks, but it's not your problem. Not the jerk, your ex is in the wrong completely for blaming you for her choices after your breakup, and no way are you responsible. You gave her ideas to help her, which she then refused to consider. She's lashing out at you because that's far easier to do than to take responsibility for her actions. This is a problem of her own creation. Well, what would you have done in this situation? Would you have looked after the dog or not? Please let us know. He sounds like an incompetent pet owner. I hope Doggo has a better family now. Am I the jerk for not accepting my new neighbor? I, 38, female, am part of a group of friends in my neighborhood. We take turns hosting dinner parties between our households, five houses out of fifteen in our neighborhood. One of our group recently moved out because our husband was cheating with his secretary. In the last month, he moved her in and is acting as if everything is normal. I'm hosting dinner this month, we're hosting Thanksgiving as none of us are able to see family this year. The husband of my friend, who's back home with her parents, otherwise she'd be invited, asked my husband, as their friends, about the plan and assumed he and his mistress would be invited. My husband said no, and that due to circumstances, none of the wives wanted them, both him who betrayed our friend and his girlfriend who was very aware of his wife and kids at home. Well, the girlfriend came by to talk to me today. She approached me right as I was getting home from work so I'm assuming she was waiting for me. She wants to try to mend fences and build friendships with the wives of her boyfriend's friends and neighbors as she's now part of the community. I'll admit, I was exhausted after working a 48 hour on call shift and I am very protective of my friends normally. I don't care to be this woman's friend. I simply said to her, I don't want to be friends with a woman that messes around with married men and your boyfriend stopped being my friend when he destroyed his family and broke my friend's heart and just walked into my home. My husband got a call from her boyfriend and he was furious with me for making his girlfriend upset. My husband really doesn't like what his friend did either and told him that he doesn't support cheating either and understands that I don't want to continue friendship with him or his girlfriend. My friends are split. All my friends that are friends with his soon to be ex-wife are 100% with me and most think I should have been harsher with my words. But other friends keep telling me that she's not the problem. The husband cheated. And while I agree with that, I also believe that this girl was aware he had a wife and young kids at home and knew the damage this would do. No, she didn't take a vow. But personally, I think it's very immoral and it's like backstabbing another person to get involved with someone that's in a committed relationship. I don't see why I should be friends. It's not like I'm friends with the whole neighborhood to start with anyways. Not the jerk. You're not required to play nice with anyone and the soon to be ex and mistress assuming that you would be okay with the replacement of your friend is naive at best and downright entitled and oblivious most likely. You probably could have said it more nicely but most normal people would have expected that response, long shift or not. You heard her feelings? Did he ever stop to see that he hurt more than his wife by cheating? Probably not. Actions have consequences and he must accept that as part of his new life. Not the jerk. This guy cheated on your friend. He doesn't get invited anymore. The end. A mistress who knows she is a mistress is also totally to blame. If you were still inviting him and not the mistress, that would be messed up. But you are treating them the same, both the cheating man and his mistress are not invited. Your friend is saying he is the cheater is right but it's not like you are only punishing her. You are cutting them both out. I don't blame you. Keep them both away from you. You're the jerk. I've been in a similar position as his new girlfriend and let me tell you something. It's judgmental people like you that drive people to dark places. You have the opportunity to welcome this woman into your community and instead you shun her? You have no idea what she's been through. I'm sorry your friend got her feelings hurt but that gives you no right to treat the new girlfriend this way. You are so the jerk and I hope they cut contact with you and your judgmental husband and live a happy life free of people like you. Yowza! Well, what do you think? Is OP the jerk for the way she treated the new girlfriend or not? Please let us know. Home wreckers get no love from me but neither do cheating jerks. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to.

Welcome to the chance to savor every moment. Every time you're here. To old friends, new experiences, and great times. Welcome to where life moves at the speed of you. This is your time. This is your place. Welcome to Void Casino's. Welcome to where you want to be. No shoveling drama. I'm reminded of a story that happened while I was living at home. You may enjoy it. On mobile and names have been forgotten so I'm just going to make them up. This happened in the late nineties early 2000s for reference. My dad owned a snow blower. During the wicked weather this side of the Rockies he would use his blower to take care of the sidewalks in front of everyone on both sides of our block. Most of the families on my block were either seniors, those with small families, or younger couples that inherited their relatives homes. Everyone knew everyone and they understood that my dad was doing this as a courtesy. He was in his fifties and just trying to be a good neighbor. So my neighbors two doors down divorced and sell their house to a family from out of state. Fake name time. Pickards sounds good. I know they were from a snowy state but I don't remember where. They moved in during the late summer close to the start of the school year. A couple months later our state has a massive snowstorm. It would snow for nearly 24 hours for almost the entire winter. You would shovel and clear snow just to get another dump and you'd have to keep going and going. We had something like 350% of average snowfall that month alone. So my dad is out there during the first big dump with his snow blower, just taking care of business as he's nice and the third house down had an occupant that walked on arm crutches. He just made a path from our house to theirs. No big deal. Been taking care of this for a while now. He gets done and heads to work. He gets home late most nights so he's not expecting anyone to be at the door as he walks in. Lo and behold, the big cards must have been watching out the window for him as they walk up to him and he opens the door. Hey, did you shovel our walk? Huh? Our walk. The one that runs in front of our house. Oh yeah, I did your sidewalk. Well, we're not paying you for this shoddy work you did. You sprayed our tree with snow. My dad is out of it after a 10+ hour day. Commute not included, so he's not getting what's happening. I'm sorry? You should be. That tree is too small to handle that much snow blown on it. You need to blow it somewhere else. As my dad was one that religiously red city bylaws, he knew the time frame for removing snow and where you could put shoveled snow. The city doesn't allow you to blow snow into the street because it messes with the plow's ability to take care of the streets. But Mr. Picard insisted that he had to blow the snow elsewhere. Knowing what he knew, my dad directed the snow into the only other spot available. His driveway. A driveway that is almost 45 degrees down from the carport too. Or so it seemed. Wicked steep either way. So the next day, the neighbor comes by to complain again. He didn't know that a small snowfall can get cars stuck in that driveway. Let alone what we had, plus a snowblower. His car got stuck halfway in the street and he had to get it towed out. If my dad were home, he could have saved them the toffee. But Picard didn't know that. So Picard is fuming and saying he's going to do his own walk from now on. My dad tries to tell him he's just assisting the neighbor on the other side and he doesn't charge for being a good neighbor, etc. It's cold and my dad wants the door shut. Picard doesn't want to step in and my dad doesn't have his shoes or coat. So Picard just says, "I know what I'm doing. I'm a grown man. I can deal with a little fluff." The next day, my dad knocks on the neighbor's door and tries to tell Picard about how strict the city is about snow removal and how he has 24 hours from the start of snowfall to get things removed, etc. He wrote down a website where he can go to read the rules, but Picard didn't take it. The city was constantly driving down our block for reasons I won't go into here. The Picards were doing a semi-sufficient job, manually shoveling snow away properly. But then, October in my state has a big teacher's conference and most families go out of town for a late camping or early hunting trip. So did the Picards. They are gone for four days during the worst storm of the season. They hadn't arranged to have the walk shoveled and the snow was piling so high, city inspectors came out. Parents and neighbors complained to the city that they couldn't walk down our street. It was so obvious that the walks were being taken care of, so why not theirs. The city posted a 48-hour compliance notice, but it would be 72 before the Picards got back to town. The city charged them with hazardous conditions and failure to maintain property accessible to the public. On top of the labor fee to shovel a walk, it was like $350 easily. The city kept a watchful eye on the property for the rest of the winter for any issues from then on. Once the city has you on their radar, it's hard to be done with them. The cherry on top of the entire situation. There's a knock on the door in early November, same year. One of the Picard kids handed my sister an envelope and just walked away. We gave it to my mom and inside there's a note saying something like, "This is for the shoveling you did already." There was a $100 bill inside. My family tried to return it, but they never answered the door. So we used it to take our large family out to our favorite buffet later that week. Thank you, Picards, for paying for a free service. We spent it well. You want me to push the pallet all the way in? Okay. Background. This happened earlier today at the grocery store that I work at. I work in the produce area, and when we are done with our boxes, we take them to the box crusher. And when that is full, it has to be tied up and put out on a pallet to be sent back on one of the trucks we get. We call this a bail for future reference. When I went down there to crush my boxes, the machine was full, so I had to empty it. Me and a couple other co-workers finish tying up the bail, and I grab the electric powered pallet jack since it's easier to use for something as heavy as a bail. And pick up the bail to put it on the truck. Now since this is the weekend before Thanksgiving, the store is busy as heck. And because of this, there were some grocery pallets on the truck still. Most were on the right side, but there was still one pallet on the left, the side I was putting the bail on. One of the people who helped me tie the bail, we'll call him Tim, says to put it in front of the pallet on the left, and he'll deal with it later. I say okay and put it there. Now another guy, we'll call him Derek, comes up to me after I put this bail on the truck and says that I can't put it there since it's blocking the one pallet of stuff, and that I need to take the bail back off, move the grocery stuff out, and then put the bail back on again. I tell him that Tim said to do it like that, and he basically says that he doesn't care and that I need to redo it. A little annoying, but whatever. I start to rearrange things to his liking while using the electric power jack. He asks if I've been certified to operate the power jack, do you need to be certified to be allowed to use it? And I say, in a very passive aggressive manner, yes I have been, thank you. Now I move the things around and I'm putting the bail back in the truck on the left. I try to go the whole way down, but I can't. Some product on a pallet on the right is leaning over a bit, which wouldn't be an issue by itself normally, but there were pallets against the left wall of the trailer, so there was barely not enough room to go all the way back. If I try to force it, then something will fall over and be more annoying to deal with, and I know this. I think to myself, well it's only like two pallet spaces to go. It should be fine where it is now, but apparently Derek didn't think that way. Him. You just gonna leave it there? Me. Yeah? Him. Don't just leave it there. Push it all the way back. Me. You want me to push it all the way back? Him aggressively. Yes. Push it back. Me. Okay. I lift the bail up, and without any regard for what will happen, I push it the rest of the way in with the power jack. The pallets on the wall get knocked down and pushed back. So now they can't get them if needed. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to.

Derek comes up to me and says, "Now see, that's what I didn't want to happen." I look at him and say, "I just did what you asked me to. You wanted me to push it in, I pushed it in." He gets visibly angry and says something that I didn't listen to because I just walked away to finish crushing my boxes. As I finish my boxes and I see him taking the bail out and stacking the pallets on top of it, he looks at me and says, "Would that have been so hard?" I say back to him, "You told me to push it in, not take it out and stack pallets on it." I did exactly what you asked me to, "I don't know why you're so angry." After that, he just walks away in a clearly angry mood and I walk back to my area grinning. Edit. Forgot to mention that I was about to tell Derek why I didn't put the bail all the way back until he told me aggressively to push it back. If he had just stayed calm, the whole thing could have been avoided. Edit two to add a little more context. Derek is technically above me, but in a different department, so he's kind of my boss, but not really. That's why I listen to him over Tim. Also, Tim isn't equal to me in that department, but I work with him way more often than I do with Derek, which is why I trusted his judgement to just throw the bail on the truck to begin with. Tim left the back room after he told me to put the bail on the truck so he wasn't there to tell Derek that he'll get it, though I don't think that would have made a huge difference. Am I the jerk for kicking my husband out of my parents' house after how he reacted to my sister's pregnancy announcement? First thing I'm going to say is my sister is my best friend and supporter, and I have so much love and respect for her. My husband, 33, developed a compulsive urge to tell jokes in funny stories. He literally laughs in people's face whenever he gets the chance to act funny, though he never finds other jokes funny and gets offended by any attempt to get him to laugh. He, more importantly, has blind since he was 11. You do not want to hear how it happened, all I'll say is that he had a rough childhood and it's impacted his adulthood. We were at my parents' house where the family gathered as my sister requested to make an announcement. We were sitting when my sister announced she's expecting. Everyone congratulated her, except my husband who sat there and out of the blue said, "So, who's the daddy?" The room went all quiet, except for my cousin's husband who laughed. My parents and sister were in shock. He continued, "I mean, I could go ahead and start making guesses, but I'm not going to say names now, am I? Things will then get really awkward in here," followed by an awkward laugh. Everyone was flabbergasted and I was very upset. My sister excused herself out and family watched as I started yelling at my husband that he was out of his mind to make such an awful comment towards my sister and humiliating like that. He then said, "Relax, he was just messing with her, but I told him to get up and get out." He picked an argument, saying, "Come on, it was no big deal, and my sister can't take a joke, and I obviously overreacted, but I loudly told him to leave immediately." He tried to get my parents involved, but I told him to leave right then. He slowly made his way out, while still arguing, but I refused to let him speak. My sister had already left, and I tried to call her as my husband waited outside for someone to come pick him up. I felt horrible as my parents asked me to let him back in since it was cold outside, but he ended up leaving anyway. He tried to call, then his brother called to berate me for treating his brother like that and kicking him out like a dog, completely disrespecting him and acting so surprised because he told a silly joke. He demanded I make up for it, but I said no. My younger sister looked at me and said, "My husband might not have been actually joking and told me to think about what he said, then it went upstairs." I didn't think much of it because I was so ashamed hiding from my parents and sister and her husband who's out of town. My husband's family are livid. ETA, a few things. My husband has always been on bad terms with my sister and lately has been focusing his jokes on her. Note, my sister is happily married to her husband of five years. Not the jerk, not the slightest. I feel like I spend all my time on Reddit wondering, "Why the heck is she with this man?" Your husband is well aware of how his jokes make people feel. That's exactly why he makes them. He took a really special moment for your sister, made himself the center of attention, and then got people to feel sorry for him. These are the actions of a cruel, bitter, insecure person. I would proceed accordingly. Look, I don't care who is the jerk or not. All I care is, what did your sister mean by her comment? Who is the father of your sister's baby? Well, who do you think is the jerk, OP or her husband? Please let us know. If Mr. Comedian asked me who the father of my baby was, I'd say, unfortunately, it's probably right her boy. Take away my overtime? Okay. I was offered a crap salary and promotion to a job I was already doing through increased responsibility by being a good employee with great job performance. I turned it down. I wasn't allowed to negotiate either, which I still did. Forget that rule. The counteroffer was still far less than median, which was the lowest I would go, as I did a good job. It doesn't look good when employees refuse promotions and nearly every manager in the company knows me. I'm the supply guy after all. So they tried taking my overtime away. They had to be gunning after my pride and performance and not wanting to be fired. To note, I live a simple life and don't care for the money, but my friends in the company are in similar positions and have families and need the money. I can get another job easy enough that pays enough for me to live off of. I turned it down because it's not a lot of money to a big company and don't want to fuel mistreatment of its employees, my friends. I complied with no more overtime, but I told them I needed the overtime to do a good job. As a supply guy for a large company, I order millions of dollars of supplies throughout the year. I didn't have time to negotiate big orders anymore. HR didn't care and my director boss didn't think I'd let my job performance drop. I started doing bare minimum with my HR provided copy and paste job description and only eight hour days. I sucked. I did the role above my job title to begin with, but they would never acknowledge this or they'd have to pay me for it. So now I was spending over $20,000 more a month than I used to. Boss knew, but what could he do? He messed up. I'm the only person in the company with knowledge that can only be gained through experience to do the job. I'm also critical to many operations. This is small figures to a large company, and it's not like my boss and HR would tell people they messed up in my handling. He also spent the personal budget on hiring his friend to be a director, so I heard later. So I stuck around until I had trained to replacement since I don't want to leave on a bad note since my great friends I made in the company are the managers I worked with daily for years, so then I left. It would be a bad story if this was all. When I left, a lot of people were curious why. My friends and nearly every manager weren't afraid to talk as my boss wasn't their boss. Without going into detail, I'm popular in my company for lower level workers. I've saved the day a few times and do all I can to make their jobs easier. Two to other complaints with HR and poor pay, me leaving fueled their discontent further to a noticeable performance level. This prompted an unofficial investigation by other directors. Our COO was the likely core of the problem. He hired my boss, his friend, and had his say in the HR directors hiring. Other directors soon drove them out as it's hard to like a job when your employees and co-workers hate you. The HR director still works there and causes problems, but she no longer has a say in pay levels. A few managers and good employees got raises. They're still a lack of base pay though if you ask me.

Uncover opportunity and move upward at MossAtoms.com Overall, I like to think I had a key role to play as I knew a few directors on a personal level. I'm back at college after dropping out the first time for medical reasons and still talk to my friends at the company regularly. For belief this isn't made up since I'm not entirely detached from society, this isn't your regular big company. It grew rapidly in the last five years and many directors were promoted up and still busy fighting the "corporate" mindset takeover from what I hear. Reply It's so difficult to work for places like that. At my previous job, we had quarterly meetings where the VP would drag all of the employees and managers into one of the big unused areas and talk about record profits, enormous growth, all of the new clients we were bringing on, etc. Sounds great, but whenever someone would ask for a raise, it wasn't in their budget. They pulled the "no overtime" card on us as well and some employees actually worked off the clock. The company ended up having to settle a class action lawsuit which was brought forth by an employee surrounding the unpaid overtime and lack of breaks. When I gave my notice, my boss was so surprised that I told her "no one was happy there". Reply Can relate so much to living a simple life and not needing a lot of money? I don't have a family and I'm not really saving to buy a car or anything like that. I just need food and a roof, I guess. I'm from a developing country and I was being offered basically the lowest possible for a recently graduated dude. I said no thanks because I'd rather not have a job than work my butt off for pennies. After not even two months, I found freelance work online for an American company and I'm doing very well. I guess people see my CV online and often call me offering the same crappy salary thinking I'm desperate or something. I don't want to sound rude to recruiters but how do I explain that I'm making 5 times more money for working half the hours and from home? I just say I appreciate the offer but I'm not looking for new opportunities at the moment. After typing all of this, I realize it doesn't have much to do with the original post but I guess it's too late now. Maybe I just wanted to complain about recruiters belittling me. Am I the jerk for admitting I don't like my brother's girlfriend? My brother, Steve, has been in a relationship with his current girlfriend Daisy for around one year and this time I've only met her a handful of times. My brother was previously married to a woman, Luis, for 10 years and they have 3 kids together. I met Daisy for the first time in April this year. She seemed friendly at first and we chatted getting to know each other. Second time we went out for a meal and she was unnecessarily rude to the waitress demanding things and not saying please or thank you. I pulled her up on it and told her to apologize, which she did, then we moved on. Cut to June, I was sending out my wedding invites and invited Steve and Daisy but I also invited Steve's ex-wife Luis. I asked Steve if he had any issues with me inviting Luis and he said none at all because they co-parent very well and very much are still friends. I've known Luis for 15 years and just because she's now divorced my brother, I still very much see her as part of the family. A couple of weeks went by and I get a message from Daisy. I've only met her twice at this point, asking me to uninvite Luis or she wouldn't come to the wedding. So I just replied, "Okay, no problem, it's your choice not to come to the wedding but I won't be uninviting anyone." Daisy didn't like this and declined to come. Skip to the day before the wedding, Luis didn't come due to lockdown. So Steve told Daisy and Daisy eventually came. I didn't care if she was there or not, I didn't really spend much time with her. A few weeks after the wedding, my mom organized a girl's get together and Daisy was invited to. This is my fourth time meeting with her at this point. There were around 10 of us and we were having fun and having a few drinks. Daisy just started shouting at me for being inconsiderate, for inviting Luis to the wedding and not considering her feelings. I was just honest, instead I only met her twice before the wedding and I didn't really know her, Daisy, and I only invited her because she's my brother's girlfriend. It also doesn't matter if Luis was invited because it was my wedding and I could choose who to invite. If I had to choose to invite Luis or her, Daisy, then I would have chosen Luis because she has been a part of my family for a long time. I didn't really speak to her since this incident and I saw her yesterday at a family meal. Daisy asked me if I liked her and I said, based on my interactions with her, that I didn't like her and didn't think we could get on, but happy to be civil. I just don't want to friendship with her. A few hours after the meal, I got a message from Steve asking why I didn't like her. I sent him all the messages she sent me, told him about the incident at my mom's get together and he said that I should give her a chance because I don't really know her. Am I the jerk for admitting to her that I don't like her? Not the jerk. Daisy shouldn't ask questions she doesn't want honest dancers to. $127 Dine in Dash So I'm a server and one of my tables walked out. It can be long, but please read, I need advice. Background The servers are supposed to pay for walkouts when they happen where I work. I've had to pay for things in the past because I messed up and I admit they were my fault. I've worked there for two years now so I'm well aware of the rule. Story time It's getting close to the end of the night and I had to use the bathroom, had to go number two, which means I was going to be gone for a little. I say to two of my fellow servers, I have to use the bathroom, can you guys please watch table F1 and they say okay. So I go to the bathroom and come back a little bit later. The assistant manager let me know I had a table. Another server got the table's drink order for me so I'm just waiting as the assistant manager makes the drinks and my general manager comes up to me and says F1 haven't been paid for. I noticed the two people from the table are gone. Before I went to the bathroom, the table asked for their check so I go to see if they left the money but it was empty, me there's no money GM well you have to pay for it me. I don't think I should have to pay for this because I asked two other servers to watch my table GM you signed the paper so you have to pay you know the rules me I'm sorry but I'm not paying for it this wasn't my fault I walk away so I can continue to take care of my other table then maybe 15 minutes later I pull my assistant manager to the side me look I follow the rules you guys my managers have always said if you step out let someone know so they can watch your table and that's exactly what I did so I'm not paying for it assistant manager well that's not fair to everyone else and you signed the paper me GM said that too and I don't know what paper you're talking about assistant manager the paper that says you have to pay for walkouts regardless of the reason it was passed out a while ago me I never signed that because I was never given one well it has to be paid for it was your table at the end of the day it's your responsibility me I was having a human bodily function how can I be held responsible when I let others know well you didn't tell me but we can't put you on the schedule until it's paid for me well this might be the last time we work together because I'm not paying for it in the end my GM gave me a speech about how I've been working there for two years and that I'm a good employee and I should get more trustworthy people to watch my tables secretly he took some of the money off the order and told me not to tell the other servers but I still have to pay one hundred dollars overtime like a payment plan I just want to know if I was in the wrong for not wanting to pay it obviously the other two servers could have been held accountable as well but I didn't want to have my coworkers hate me at this point I'm just going to pay it off and work until I find a new job because this place is far from perfect but this whole thing has completely upset me support our channel by joining as a member today and we'll give you a shout out in our next video or come watch this video next you won't believe what Karen does in that one. it's a great thing.
