being petty each day keeps the doctor away - REACTION

[@CanyonALynn]

S1: The reason why the ex had an issue with her being around her own male family members was not because he thought she might sleep with them, but because the ex wanted to take the people who would most likely defend her/stand up to him (which the cousin eventually did) and have her leave him.

[@phaedrapage4217]

When he told her she'd disrespected "the man" in their relationship, she should've asked him, if he's the man why is he whining like a little bitch? He is definitely the kind of dickweed who would be deeply offended by something like that. 😂

[@sarahcaitlyn88]

That's what I thought also. Part of it is likely also jealousy but I feel he would be that way with her and women also. (So not necessarily the sleeping together type of jealousy) More of an ego thing .. So glad she was strong and smart enough to see the red flag and say yep no bye.

[@CanyonALynn]

@sarahcaitlyn88 Agree as well. Jealous of not having all the attention on him at all times.

[@_sugar_plum]

I think it's both, someone as insecure as him would want that. plus he might really have his brain in the DIRTIEST gutter caz wtf, it's inappropriate to have dinner with your dad..?!

Nobody deserves to be yelled and screamed at, in front of children or not. So good she got out.

[@erikarussell1142]

My husband and I have been together 6 years. Not once have we ever yelled at each other, screamed at each other, or even spoke out cheek to one another. We talk, listen, and compromise. And we do it in front of the kids so they know what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like, vs what they grew up in. His kids especially. Mine never heard me fight growing up. I would always do the silent treatment until after bed and then go at it. Away from them and out in the car. We must dictate how people treat us. Do not accept anything less than what you deserve. And no one deserves abus!ve behavior from anyone.

[@TC-ku4vv]

It's weird that she drew the line there and not at him hitting her. But she hints that she grew up around abuse so I know it's complicated.

[@MizMorgue1]

Agreed. My 2nd XH insulted me in front of his child exactly 2 times. The 1st time I asked him, with his child present, if he was sure he wanted to talk to me like that with my stepson present. He looked at his son, and gave a mumbled non-apology. The 2nd time, I stood up and calmly apologized to my stepson, asked him to please pay attention to this day. I told my stepson to always treat people the way you want to be treated. Then I looked at my XH, and told him I was moving out, we were over. My voice was shaky, and I was sweating, but I got out what I needed to say, and I left. That was 5 years ago, and I still think of my SS, and truly hope he has developed in to a happy, healthy man. When a kid doesn't have a single responsible, healthy adult in their life, the odds are really stacked against them that they will break that generational cycle of being abusive ppl.😢

My ex was like this and would pout like this as well. He just saved the yelling and other @buse til we were behind closed doors. I also left because the thought of future children seeing, hearing, or experiencing any of it themselves made me brave enough to stand up to him. Not for myself (that took time as he’d turned me into a shell of the person I’d been/am now) but for children we didn’t even have. I honestly feel bad for his current ex and the child they have. Glad it’s not me but I can still empathize from a distance.

I too had WOO! neighbors for a while! Every time they were in their kitchen they would Woo! all over the place. It cracked me UP! But what pushed me over the edge was the neighbor who spit every time he went into his bathroom, we shared a ventilation shaft and the windows opened opposite of each other. It was not just a normal spit sound but the super loud hawk a loogie kind. And I could hear him in every corner of my apartment, and for some reason, it was especially loud when I was lying in bed, so disgusting .But surprisingly it was my mom who solved this conflict. She was spending the weekend with me and was in the bathroom when he came in his own bathroom and we both had our windows open a little bit. He did his “thing” and she, despite being the most genteel person I’ve ever met, involuntarily said loudly, Ewwww!! Well he heard that, and thus ended the spitting sessions! She was embarrassed by her outburst, but it had a fantastic effect. Thanks mOm, I miss you always.

[@merry.minimalism]

In college I rented a small apartment that shared walls with another small and narrow apartment above the leasing office. My neighbor sneezed in his bedroom and I instinctively said “bless you” at a normal volume and he said “thanks.” Then there was this pause as we both realized how easily we heard each other.

One person called every single night around 7pm complaining about the upstairs neighbors, he was required to go knock and ask them to keep it down, this person was complaining about a cat rolling around on the floor playing with a hanging toy and a 4 year old sitting on the floor watching Bluey kicking their feet.

For me I have a family above me during the weekends they would have other family visit and they have one kid who runs like he is an elephant with concrete shoes on, it is very loud banging. It isn't the normal noise you would expect - occasional banging is to be expected - but hours of it is not good. When it happened a 2nd time I reminded them it's disturbing our weekend hearing it for hours, at first they didn't understand, so I asked the wife to come down and listen for a bit. Within a couple of minutes she understood and apologised and it never happened again, maybe once in a blue moon if there was a birthday or something and when they banging started it was quickly stopped by the parents. There is kids playing and there is kids being as loud as a Boeing 747 engine.

I live in an apartment complex in Korea and our downstairs neighbors have complained so much, it was really stressful. And it felt really targeted to me and our kids. I got a complaint for talking on the phone QUIETLY at 1am. My kids were asleep, didn't wake them up. My husband talks loud AF all hours of the night in Korean, not one complaint. I was talking in English. They specified the language in their complaint. We're not informed of any recent complaints during the day, I think the office told them too bad, nothing you can do before 9pm. They did call the police and report they thought I was abusing my children because my TODDLER was having a tantrum while I was making dinner one day. She wanted to eat bread, I was making pasta so said no. Cops were confused bc they were responding to a child abuse accusation. My toddler was just poking her head around the corner, waving at the police calmly We get announcements every couple of months to remind people to not play the piano in the mornings. A friend of mine's apartment complex did a survey for acceptable piano playing time. It was like 2-4pm 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will never understand people like this.

Lead with respect first; don’t escalate immediately. People will usually respond in kind. True story: My grandmother lived above another family. One day, her downstairs neighbor, who was a stranger, appeared at her door with a freshly-baked cake. My grandmother invited her in and they ate some cake, had some coffee, and chatted. At some point the neighbor mentioned hearing a noise coming from my grand’s apartment and both women realized it was the bounce baby thing that was the culprit making the knocking noises. My grand apologized, they came up with a solution that worked for them both, and became lifelong friends. Proverb: A soft answer turns away wrath.

When her neighbours upstairs woke her up all the time by walking, she brought them some snacks, had a friendly chat, got them soft, warm shoes for inside and they united their efforts to make the landlord isolate the floor better.

I live in Japan and I’m not Japanese. We were living in the same building (3floors) where my husband’s office was as a courtesy of the company owner. First two floors were the office and then we were on the 3rd floor. Everyone one was so nice and we also was careful enough not to disturb anyone as some people had to work even after office hours. Once my son was born they assured us not to get panicked over the infant crying or running the washer and dryer as they understand and are completely ok with it. We never misused their kindness and I always finished the laundry before 8 am. But once my son turned 2.5 we decided to move. All in good terms. And the boss was like are they disturbing us? And he was so worried 😂 sweetest and the kindest company owner indeed. And he helped us finding a new place by sending his sister with me to go and look at the places. We found a gem of an apartment. Garden in the middle and two buildings on either sides, with a total of 8 apartments (each had 4 apartments) and the agent was like your upstairs neighbor has a daughter who is as the same age as my son,do you mind it? Because toddlers. We are very lucky that all the houses got kids ranging from 2 to 6 years and we all got along very well and our kids play together every single day. Our kids almost do everything together and we dine together as well. In japan it’s really hard to find people who are open minded to foreigners but we hit the lottery on that. But we too are very mindful about Japanese culture and they too are happy that they get to share our ways of lives. Communication was never a problem because both me and my husband speak fluent Japanese and have been living in Japan for over a decade. So we know the sentiments of Japanese people too. I’m very lucky to have my neighbors and love them to bits

100% I'm raising young kids in Korea and had amazing neighbors before we moved. Our downstairs neighbors had kids just getting out of the toddler age when we had our first. So sweet and understanding. After we moved to bigger buildings, our current downstairs neighbors are so whiney. They complain about basically every noise kids can make, even crying for a minute from a nightmare. They complained so often, I thought for sure it had to be some super old person or someone who hated kids. We ran into them on the elevator, their teenaged daughter gave us a dirty look. They have 2 teenagers, have obviously experienced the early kid years! My husband regrets he vetoed the first floor apartment option (really second floor). He thought it would be too unsafe and someone with a ladder could easily break in regardless of all the CCTV cameras. When you find a nice place with nice neighbors, stay!! Neighbors can really make or break your experience ❤

I live in one of those houses that's divided into 2 units, and the unit we share a yard with has 2 young kids who are HYPER. Literally you can hear them bouncing off the walls, shaking the house, craziness. I have never, not once complained about it. Why? Cause when they moved in their dad told me to let him know if things ever got too loud and all I said was "So long as it's not after midnight or before 8 am, I literally will never care. Cause I know you're probably gonna be hearing us too, it is what it is." And we've never had that problem short of some dog noise (which I know he can't really help) once. I'm just saying, living in some cheap af middle of nowhere house, working from home is more of an option these days than it ever has been before. If folks expect to live in a silent world, they can make that a reality if they really want to. If they instead want to control everyone around them? Well then they need to learn to get tf over that.

To the woman who said the neighbor complained about a ball hitting the floor: that is the sound of the pipes releasing the bubbles of air. There’s nothing you can do.

[@xqueenx83x]

That’s exactly what it is.. forced air heating system. My apartment right now has it and it took me a couple days to figure out what it was. And the reason it happens at night and early morning is when it’s cold and heat is kicking on.

[@EdibleStars369]

That video is the first of many in the series going back and forth with the neighbour.

I'm not so sure that it is just pipes or "nothing you can do." The building has cracks in it and it's not even that old?

6 years ago my husband and I moved into our first apartment (it was a renovated two-story house that had four units in it. This house was probably a hundred years old you could see the apartments underneath you it was terrible🤷🏻‍♀️ this lady that lived next door to us would blast all kinds of music until 3:00 a.m. every night of the week.... my husband is oilfield so naturally he had to wake up at 4:30 / 5:30 every morning. I had finally had enough when he fell asleep at the wheel going to work one morning.... I connected my Bluetooth speaker to my phone and I blasted classical music from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in my bathroom with towels shoved in the crack of the door and earplugs in so I didn't have to hear it. Based on her BS I knew when she'd be asleep. after that we didn't have any more problems with her blasting music till 3:00 a.m.😂😂😂😂😂

[@TJCretin]

Concrete is good at blocking ambient noise but it will transfer the heck out of impact noises. And the noise transfer doesn’t always go in a straight line so theoretically the noise could be coming from a different apartment from yours even if they think they hear it above their apartment. Or there could be a tiny gambling hall for mice hidden away in the walls.

[@Eemarjar]

Hubby and I lived in a condo beside a group of very young party animals. We tolerated a lot until the day I got home from work and couldn’t hear my husband talk, dishes in the cupboard were falling out, pictures on the walls were tilting all due to their loud music and I LOST IT. They learned that day we had a very BIG stereo compared to theirs (but being mature adults we had never cranked it BEFORE). I took every speaker including flipping the sub box up against our shared wall (as my husband took the cats downstairs to hide) and I played a little Ozzy Osborne. After two songs, I turned it off and yelled at the top of my lungs, WE WIN!! We NEVER had a problem with them ever again!! 😂

When I first moved in to my current apartment building, I discovered that I had a noisy upstairs neighbor. Yes, the loud music was annoying, and there were a couple of New Year’s Eve parties that lasted till 4am, but some of the sounds were funny! One sound that recurred often was of someone running down the hallway, and a few minutes later the sound of a toilet flushing! Soon I knew that any time I heard running any where in my apartment it would be soon followed by the sound of rushing water 🚽 😂 She moved out about a couple of years after I moved in, but I still think of her sometimes and hope she got to a good G.I.

He again claims that he didn't receive any packages and that's not his signature. I tell him that I have a lot of cop friends and they'll be looking into my missing package for me (it was an expensive kit I had ordered). I stayed up late that night with my lights off, and my Webcam in the window (it was long before Ring). I catch him placing my package by my door at like 2 am.

OMG, I remember living in a apartment me and my family and I were on the second floor. So one night, some of our friends came over, and we had a movie night. We were minding our business and the neighbors down stairs weren't having it, and they kept on hitting the roof, and we kept on stomping the ground. I guess the neighbors had enough and called the police. The joke was on them. Because the cops waited at the door for a while. Before knocking to see how loud we were. The cop apologized to us and was very mad at the neighbors for even calling them. Lesson learned on their end. 😂😂😂

[@torixkh7687]

I so relate to the stupid noise complaints. We live over an older lady who has given us the cold shoulder since she moved here. Every time we try to speak or say good morning when we see her, she will look us in the eyes and say nothing. However, recently, our landlord reached out to us letting us know that he's received various noise complaints from her saying that we are loud during the late hours of the night and she needed sound sleep for her health. The most recent call she made was when we had just gotten back home from a week vacation. She heard us laughing about something at around 7 PM and called. This is particularly hilarious because she keeps her TV volume on like 60, which is so loud we can almost hear every word being said. This typically happens between 9 AM and 11 PM so calling saying that we're disturbing her sleep whilst her TV is blaring says a lot about her intentions. Fastforward to yesterday, we got home around 10 after attending a late Halloween party. My husband went to rinse out a cup and a pipe under the kitchen sink bursted causing the kitchen to flood. She calls the landlord and tells him that we DRILLED A HOLE IN THE FLOOR that caused her living room to leak. We sent pictures and they came to take a look and we all had a laugh at her ludicrous claims. I was still pretty annoyed and really just want to move because she is seeming like a malicious old lady more and more each day. She's been a pain to live around.

So this burger story reminded me of something from my childhood, my parents got divorced when I was 8, it was a very messy divorce. The night my dad left the house for the last time we had went through the taco bell drive through. My mom ordered the food and pulled up to the window, as we drove home my parents got in a huge fight about it. My dad was mad because she didn't ask him what he wanted and just ordered his usual. (Stupid fight I know) But I didn't eat taco bell again for years because my kid brain was convinced that Taco Bell was why they got a divorce lol. As an adult and in hindsight I understand that that was just the last straw for both of them. They didn't belong together honestly, so thank you bean burrito with extra onions that remained my dad's go to order until the day he died for causing my parents to realize they just hated each other 🤣

My 7yo and I have to get up early for school everyday so it's pretty annoying to say the least since the noise keeps me up. This lady had the AUDACITY to text me asking me to have my child stop jumping around at 5pm the other day...Like, excuse me you are loud af every night and you want my child to be quiet in the middle of the day so you can take a nap since you were up late being loud? I would gladly respect it if she respected me. I can't wait until her kids are old enough to start school or maybe she'll eventually get a job so she will finally understand the need for quiet on school nights.

My husband and I lived in a very cheap two story apartment complex when we were 19 & 20 with one other roommate. We all worked in the restaurant field so usually gone nights, home during the day. Our downstairs neighbors lived with one of their mother's in the apartment and their baby. This place was so cheaply built that I could lay on the floor with my ear on the ground and hear their conversations. Needless to say us walking around above drove the mother crazy. She would hit the broom on her ceiling all the time (sometimes we'd stomp back 😆). One night @ 11pm we get a knock at the door (which was worrisome due to not living in the safest area to begin with). Myself, husband & roommate were sitting around chit chatting, heard the knock, look out the window see its a cop and answer. He introduces himself, he's been called out on a noise complaint which he then says "I've been standing outside your door for 10 mins wondering if anyone was home". We told the cop we know who called, she complains about us walking, nothing we can do. He says he will close it out as a false report & go inform the complaintant (who provided their info). The craziest part about this is the two young adults living there were drug dealers. Which was 1 why we were concerned about a knock at 11pm / 2nd why would they want the cops near their place. Only thing we could think was the mother didn't know they were selling drugs. And no we did not rat them out we still had a decent amount of time on our lease and wanted no issues (at least ones we could control).

Everyone on our floor was so kind saying they didn’t even hear our dog but they knew EXACTLY who had complained (they had done it previously to multiple people and had even pushed the previous tenants of our unit out as they also had a dog) and that anytime we needed someone to watch her, they would be happy to do it!

Similar to the first story, Myhusband was a giant red flag from the first day of marriage. Thank goodness the first woman had no children. I’m so happy for you! Quick story, as soon as we set our vows, we got on a plane and went to our honeymoon. That night, we were supposed to go out and grab food because we slept on the plane. The plane ride was about three hours so we had a good nap. He said absolutely not. He was not hungry. He didn’t want food so I went and got food on my own, which was a risky decision because we were in Vegas and I was young and beautiful by myself. But I made it upstairs and went to bed after I ate. Of course, I brought him some food too. He never ate it and then later blamed me for not eating. This is my first red flag. The next day came and went and it was nighttime and we went to a show and while we were there, I felt like it was inappropriate and wanted to leave. We were down in Vegas and he literally left me. He left me because I asked him to hold my shoes because they hurt. I was a little tipsy and had to walk all the way down by myself. I was terrified because I was in a short skirt for Myhusband myself young attractive woman. I was young and dumb and already married. But at this very moment, I considered an anollment. We stayed there for one week and when I got home, I was already pregnant. I could feel it and I knew it. Four weeks later I tested a very faint line and on the sixth week I was definitely pregnant. Since I just gotten married, I was excited to have a baby then all kinds of things happened after. He has never changed his behavior or silent treatment. When things are good, they’re great but second I need something it’s awful. I have been married to him 11 years and I’m trying to get out. he has managed to isolate me and leave me to do everything and it is terrifying. I have had one heckuva decade so wish me luck on leaving. It is very hard with kids.

Then we all knew exactly how far along he was into building each song because all hours of the day were him running through the tracks over and over and over again. It was worse when he worked a late night event because he would play the music at a low enough decibel where he could hear with his fresh from a loud event ears. Meaning he could barely hear it, but it blared through all the walls of the house. We took turns begging him to turn it down and he would while tweaking it, but would turn it up to hear the songs all the way through then turn it back down to tweak them. We were all broke so he couldn’t afford the headphones he wanted, so we all suffered for months. When Christmas came, the family pooled money to get him his headphones and if I remember right, he only got like two other gifts. Considering we all usually got one gift per person, some from various friends, and one from their parents, I know that everyone considered this his gift and punishment. 😂

You were lucky to escape Ted. I had my own "Ted". Never ever stay...run.

[@dinasilva9263]

The first guy is such a red flag🙄 I had an ex boyfriend like that, omg this story made me go back to those bad memories. I only regret that i didn't see what type of person he was before things got really bad. It's better to be alone than with someone that doesn't respects you.

[@jessicawilson2772]

I gain so much more respect for this channel upon every video. A 3 sec intro and immediately jumping into the content is worth all the subs in the world.

[@itsmejt9283]

13:42 that’s the sound of building creaking. It happens everywhere in the world.

[@gailryder9493]

When the 1st woman said there were 3 adults at the table, my first thought was no, there were only 2.

[@titian-red]

Ladies and gents, if your partner makes excuses to isolate you from your family and friends, GET OUT! Men can be abused, too. It doesn't mean you're weak to leave an abusive woman; it means you're strong enough to set boundaries.

[@Gabexyz3]

I’m too petty I was here in 40 seconds. Saw the video post while watching another episode.🤣 ♥️ you 🥔 👑 Charlotte!!!

[@StrangeFacinations]

Me too!

[@rebeccariehle2764]

You mean *re-watching because there are no other unwatched videos 😊

[@rebeccaerazo825]

Right?! Yesterday, while doing all my household work, I had charlotte in my ear all day and night. I get a lot done listening to her videos when I’m not laughing hysterically

[@HellBelleAustin]

CLASSIC Narcissistic abuser behavior. Glad you left him.

[@JordanSinclair-q5m]

Typical signs of an abusive relationship. First is isolation from friends and family. Second is always putting him first. Third is verbal abuse. Fourth is physical abuse. I am so thankful you left.

[@PrincessCareALot]

I’m finally catching you at a decent hour instead of days later!! Love me some “petty potato” stories!!! First girl SO BRAVE to get the hell away from that husband!!! Talk about a passive aggressive narcissist. I was married to someone like that. Good on ya.

[@RebeccaGallin]

Good thing that burger issue happened in public! 😮😢

[@TrishaElric7]

Being petty in a professional way got me a promotion at work and keeps me young. 10000/10 recommend. Also, that first story is wild. It starts with her being married into a cult and then built up to Disney world

[@bellamajor6671]

Oh noooo not flashing up a pic of Ted Bundyyyy 😂 but totes apropos doh!

[@StrangeFacinations]

Her editors are amazing!

[@bellamajor6671]

@lotstodo I know riiiight?!! LOVING their work! 👏🏽👏🏽😆

[@Steve_V1066]

The ex is acting like his wife pre-chewed the burger and fed him like a baby bird! What a nutcase.

[@kc510fog]

Charlotte, I just found you and have been binging for hours! From a sister to a sister, you are so beautiful and so funny and I’m so thankful to find another queen to enjoy when I want to get away from life for a while.

[@diggymodesti6139]

The dice sounds it's actually the pipes, it's a universal sound for apartments or marbles too. I mean my upstairs neighbor is 65yo doctor he doesn't play with either

[@macgirl1234]

Oh my gosh, this is good to know! I've always wondered why every apartment I lived in seemed to have someone playing with a marble who lived above me.

[@andreabradley5837]

Are you sure?

[@Fran_Glass]

I saw one story where this guy had insanely loud neighbors. They slammed the door in his face when he tried to be civil and talk about it. They kept going and he was just about going crazy from lack of sleep. So he came up with a plan. He turned on his guitar amp and turned it as far up as he could. Then he plugged in his guitar, set it on top of the amp and left for work. 10 hours of the loudest feedback you've ever heard. It worked.

[@ThoughtsonThoughtsandFeelings]

1:05 jealous of FAMILY MEMBERS - uh yeah that was my first red flag. And like it did escalate. Yeah. // Ya didn’t get divorced because of a burger. You got divorced because it was abusive.

[@teycha88]

My ex was the same. I was so afraid of him I stayed too long.

[@MizDBMe]

I would venture to say that she knows she didn’t actually get divorced over a burger, you can tell that it’s said in a joking manner. Kind of like when I was 7 months pregnant and running a 102.6 fever and asked my husband to take me to the hospital. I was so sick. ( It was his car and he would never let me use it by myself ) He said “not right now” because his football game was on and some friend that he went to school with was on the team and he wanted to watch him play. He literally made me wait until the game was over. Pregnant and all. That was it for me. It was one thing to abuse me, but a whole nother to neglect our child. I always joked that if it wasn’t for that football game, I’d have never left/got a divorce. 😂

[@kasm_nME]

​@MizDBMe thank goodness you saved yourself and your baby🥰 It's scary and hard but necessary!

[@sharim]

The burger tie-in was a joke. Duh. What’s wrong with the world-no one understands humor any longer.

[@wizardglick7762]

That burger didn’t just change her life, it SAVED her life!

[@beauregarden]

As someone who grew up on an isolated farm in the middle of nowhere, moving into student accommodation and learning what thin walls were really like was definitely a rude awakening... repeatedly... throughout the night...🤣🤣

[@Alex_hamilton_]

PERFECT TIMING THE DEPRESSION WAS JUST KICKING IN

[@jennifercobb8570]

Felt this 💯💯💯💯

[@19tams67]

Wishing you both a blessed, beautiful and sunshine filled day. ❤😊❤ I do pray that things get better for you. REMEMBER, YOU ARE AWESOME 💯😎❤

[@notevenlistening6072]

Me too. I've been binging Angelina Jordan videos waiting for Charlotte 😅

[@juliannama1757]

HIGH FIVE FELLOW PETTY DEPRESSED POTATOES 🥔 ❤

[@minillaz]

Literally tho 😭

[@akherousia]

The sound of balls rolling at night might not be the neighbors... It's the house itself that could be making these sounds.

[@boogermaiden]

Maybe that building is haunted. That happens in our apartment complex and we talked about it to them, and they said they all went to work in the morning and they were all petite girls. The footsteps are that of a 300 lbs ban with steel boots! We all freaked out!

[@lucasmoore8801]

14:50 The girl talking about the poor unfortune soul below her👀😶... I would totally start being petty af by doing jumping jacks in the morning and the night. Have to stay fit! Sorry not sorry! 😂😂😂

[@melissavelasco2896]

Every time my professional upstairs neighbors start knocking on the floor while I’m watching something at 15:00 I just put on one of your videos and crank it on high. That usually sends the message 😊. Thank you for helping me be petty.
