"So we're shitting on her. Not literally, but figuratively..." Thanks for clearing that up. Lol

[@christianokamura9419]

I'm a blunt person I would of drove her to get her stupid carrots and just left her at the store

[@joeycoots9940]

That's hilarious

[@mapletree736]

[@Hatingbutyoubroketho]

"Dude you know what I woulda done!"

[@BullRonin]

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw yesterday, "Gas or Ass. No free rides".

[@sergeantbigmac]

BullRonin Haha thats a really old one... Havent heard that in a while, thanks for the chuckle ;)

[@mattdoty9616]

better. grass gas or ass

[@TofranBohk]

I've heard similar stories before. A person will start out nice and grateful, but then turn into a demanding person later on when they know they can count on you. You need to watch out for this.

[@HclPudding]

A shit brickhouse! I am so going to use that in conversation now!

[@sleepisnotnecessary2161]

"My dad was just shitting on her, not literally". Thanks for clarifying, Jeff. xD

[@Erdie5]

A shining example of why public assistance does not work. Once people are on the dole, they get addicted, they feel entitled, they make demands. Completely forgetting that the assistance they're receiving is out of charity, and that we don't "owe them" a penny. Not everyone on assistance does this, but far too many do. Just gross.

[@MidwayShooter]

Love the story time stuff Jeff , thanks for sharing.

[@buttholeChecker]

Dude, you just described my landlord! Lol, i rent a room from an old lady that is literally a millionaire, at first i was just renting a room from her because it was a good deal, room and full house and pool privileges and paid electricity for $500 a month as long as i mowed the front and back lawn twice a month, half acre of property. But then she started having me drive her places as a favor, first once a week then twice a week and so on... Now im literally using a tank of gas a week driving her all over. I'm torn at what to do because i live under her roof and have a very good deal but i can't afford the gas anymore. Im afraid if i ask for gas money she will use the fact she charges me very low rent against me, because that's what old rich people do.....

[@DAS-Videos]

Use subtle hints. While driving her say something like, you wish you had a smaller car because it would get better gas mileage. That you hope the price of gas goes down so you can save money. That you hope to get a promotion at your job so you can save more money. She might get the hint with by just saying one of those things. If she doesn't say or change then she still go the hint but it is what it is.

[@BLdontM]

shite4brains That SUCKS start looking for other places to rent. Even if they are more expensive and the property is a downgrade from where you stay now. Do what the other guy said - drop little hints like that and if it doesn't work then straight up ask for gas money. I doubt she'd kick you out, chances are the worst she'd do is mention her low rent and have that be her reasoning for not giving gas money. My dad is the same way. He will act like he is doing something very nice (even to his own kids) but really, he's not. He will act like you owe him later down the line. Can't just do something nice just to be nice. That is EXACTLY what old rich people do

[@buttholeChecker]

Rusty Shackleford And the most screwed up thing of all is that she has a 2008 toyota prius in her garage with only 3000 miles on it and she makes me use my own car! I mentioned to her once that we should drive her car since it does not use much fuel in town and that if she does not drive it much the lithium ion battery will go bad and she still wont use it, only wants me to use my car, my gas!

[@buttholeChecker]

Jef Jewell I agree, I have always been the type to keep it in, hard for me to speak up.... :(

[@seekpeace2438]

shite4brains take a springy metal ruler and screw a golf ball to one end, now take a small c clamp and attach the ruler to the bottom of the exhaust pipe, the weight of the golf ball will make the other end of the ruler bounce and when you hit bumps it will smack against the exhaust making a strange noise. Now take her out for one of those errands and when that noise starts happening look confused and say you have no idea what it is but last time you heard it you were stranded for a few hours. when you get home, tell her you need to borrow her car for a while till you get this figured out

[@workingclassless84]

Great story. I know this will resonate with alot of people including me. Thanks...

[@HclPudding]

30 or 40 bucks filled his tank? Either this was over ten or fifteen years ago or your dad drove a moped...

[@Dankcatvacs]

ford escort

[@pac6010]

Nah I can still fill my tank for around $40. Gas it $2.60 per gallon here atm and our prices are closer to the higher end of the nations gas prices.

[@martinaee]

Wulfle Depends on the car. Right now with gas prices being fairly low again my girlfriend's Toyota Corolla fills pretty much fully on a little more than 20 bucks. It pays not to have a huge car.

[@buttholeChecker]

Wulfle my honda only takes $30 to fill.

[@OrangePHX]

Wulfle $30-$40 would fill an SUV back when gas was under $2..

[@FISHYFILMPRODUCTIONS]

This really hit me hard. I need rides sometimes. I used to ride my bike to work and school but it was stolen. I had to ask my boss for rides home a couple times. I know it is a different situation but I feel horrible. I don't like being a burden

[@cutlerylover]

Jaden Bass in the end all that is needed is a thank you, if I was appreciated I wouldn't ever have had a problem what made this situation bad was her rides were demanded and she felt like I owed them to her somehow, she was no longer thankful, if she had been I would probably still be driving her around...

[@bbgdaddy5198]

cutlerylover you are exactly right. Regardless of what/who people are, you do those things because you really fell it is good and right. Money is usually not the goal at those times, it's just being appreciated for helping out. The value of having a person appreciate something goes way beyond money.

[@Xellos14]

The phone not hung up part got me, loved it. Really made my day, and I try to put that lesson to heart, the whole not letting people take advantage of you like that. It's something I've had to learn the hard way too, it sucks. But good on ya to share, hope it'll help someone else.

[@josiahdburk]

Dude, way to be a damn good Joe, honesty and integrity. Honestly, I would be too much chickenshit to actually man up and apologize like that. Thank you for stories like this, good role modeling! I appreciate it.

[@JackedLobster]

She should have just flown to the store on a broom! Heh heh.

[@tedcruz8549]

How is a shit-brick house built?

[@shredrik]

I like how genuine and raw you are in these storytime vids man why don't you just be yourself like this in all your vids?

[@AlonSmil]

Cool story man ! You definitely did the right thing and I think your kindness was extraordinary!

[@drivesthecar3247]

"No good deed goes unpunished!", comes to mind.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

For what ever reason her heart had shrunk and she made it a practice to be stingy and not respect others. I have a feeling that an honest conversation with her prior to the phone incident would not have been fruitful... she needs a heart overhaul.

[@cutlerylover]

cyclist01222 you are probably right about that...I hated how it ended but it was meant to be, my life changed so much right after that anyway I wouldn't have been able to continue even if I wanted to, life has a strange way of working out sometimes even when you dont understand it

[@Elricck]

cyclist01222 Really? and no other hypotheses would work? I say this bitch was born that way, learned how to treat the lower classes like crap at an early age, probably doing this in her job as well. Just my opinion.

[@troublingsailor6040]

cutlerylover I love listing to your stories

[@playeryhm]

please make longer in depth story time, really love getting lost in your 30min+ stories

[@arachnid83]

I learned to say 'NO' when I was a wee kid. You won't believe the number of times I have said "no". I have lost a bunch of people over it but hey, true friends don't try to take advantage of you. Just learn to say "no". It makes you a better person than gossiping or taking shit behind backs.

[@RcFlyer49]

These stories are awesome. Keep them coming! There's a lot to learn from them.

[@duweydang]

That's funny. While I enjoy the story, you shouldn't feel so bad. The only shitty thing you did was talk about her behind her back. Never ever talk about someone you're not willing to tell to their face. What a dirt bag lesbian. Good thing you got rid of that headache.

[@duroisgawd]

lol

[@misterdaz1018]

The more I watch of your Storytime videos the more I see of myself in you Jeff.

[@ForTheWin114]

Jeff, I love this! keep it up man. I've been in similar situations and I just can't say no. Mean old ladies like that take advantage of nice people willing to help.

[@TylerLL2112]

I know the feeling Jeff. You're a great guy and that's why I've been subbed so long. Guys like us often get taken advantage of and I don't know how to say no. But I like helping peoples so I keep helping. Take care my friend.

[@albertov.488]

I really like these story time videos, thanks for sharing, man.

[@averybeck5296]

I hate to say this, but no matter what a child says, to any adult, they will take it as disrespect if they simply dont agree with you or like the statement even if it was completely honest and true

[@Akbaker96]

"Verbally not physically." I just died laughing!

[@drummingmethods1249]

Man that's rough. The first second I feel someone is taking me for-granted or trying to pull an angle I start planning an exit strategy. Your a good guy Jeff. When you start getting that feeling there's a reason.

[@taigaboi]

Mrs. B? Like Mrs. Bitch? haha! Awesome story! I like the part where you said you were too blunt to speak your mind, since you're reviewing knives and all. i guess this is some of those situations we learn from and help us know life a little better =)

[@robosnitz]

Jeff,....you're a good guy.You got a good heart,and your parents brought you up right.Don't sweat this,bro.

[@IslandPipers]

Funny story. You went above and beyond what a good neighbor should be expected to do.

[@thejp2269]

Sometimes I wish you were telling these stories by my bedside , firmly holding my hand with both of yours . Great story

[@recurvedranger1326]

Started dying at the 'shitting on her verbally, not physically' lol.

[@ComedicScents]

I think it's funny that she heard everything lol. It's her fault for not treating y'all right properly. Awesome video Jeff

[@samsquanch1996]

i'm a nice guy as well, and the worst consequence about being nice is having people take advantage of your kindness

[@danofiremano]

One of the rules I live by that was ingrained into me when I was young is this: If I wouldn't say it to the persons face, don't say it at all. Even in a situation like yours my parents would have made me go talk to her as soon as they knew how I felt about it. I'm not saying you are bad people for what happened (she's the jerk here), but I'm saying for me it's the right thing to do (most of the time). I've been known to do this when I really shouldn't have and have had to climb out of a few shit holes that I dug myself. But as they say, with age comes wisdom and that's what I think this story is about. Thanks again Jeff!

[@Eurotrash4367]

The same thing happened to me. An old guy lived 3 doors down. He's in his 80's and never had kids and no relatives so I offered to cut his lawn for $15 which is half what I normally charge. I was 16 at the time and felt sorry for him because he was alone. Eventually he started asking me to take him to the food store every other week and I did it for free. Then he started asking for favors every weekend, the bank, Thrift Store, doctors office etc. Never did he ever offer gas money but to be fair I never asked for any. He had an old Pontiac Bonneville that he kept tagged and insured but never drove and I thought he would give it to me or sell it at a low price for helping him since I was using my parents spare car. One day the car was gone and I asked what happened to it and he told me that he sold it to the guy at the bottom of our street for $500. The next time he asked me for a ride I told him to ask the guy down the street. He actually went down and asked him and the guy flat out said no and resold the car for $1500 the next week. He asked me for a ride again and I told him my parents didn't want me to use their car anymore and that I need to save up and find a used car to buy. I also mentioned that I only had $500 and couldn't find anything in that price range. He never thanked me and stopped talking to me after that.

[@livmadeleine]

I think that you and your father are great people with big hearts for helping that lady out. I personally still really struggle with standing up for myself, I find it really hard to tell people NO. Hopefully karma came around and bit that old bag in the ass :)

[@ScottsUtubeWorld]

livmadeleine You'll learn to tactfully stand up for yourself in time. I try to help people whenever possible. But when I sense that someone wants to take advantage, I usually say: "I'd love to help you, but it would actually be illegal for me to do so because slavery has been abolished."

[@karthimechify]

livmadeleine karma is real

[@miguelangelmontoya7853]

these story times are amazing, jeff. keep them going!

[@Aticus24]

I've been in the same boat. Moved to Long Island and moved to an apartment complex with an older lady next door. I did tons of stuff for her. The week I was moving out she was demanding me to remove the apartment complex's air conditioner unit from the wall. I told her I can't do that, if something happened I'd be liable (living on the 2nd floor and possibly dropping the wall unit out of the wall.) The day I left she acted so pissed at me I couldn't believe it. That's why I never take any money when I help people. They make it seem like they are actually helping you out, not the other way around.

[@ckkabramz]

Great Story !!! I was real timid when I was in my 20s to early 30s.. Now I have no problem confronting people in certain situations ..I think it comes as we all mature !! I think it was kind of a blessing she heard you two talking. She got so mad because what you said about her was true and she knew it !!!

[@ChrisC30]

Something to take away: You didn't talk sh*t. You thought you were having a private talk with your father. You were taken advantage of by an abusive person, and finally had enough, and needed to vent. She almost certainly didn't care that you said it. She'd have likely heard it before, since she went on using others. You and your father were not the first. Sometimes, feeling bad is a weakness that lets predatory people get to you.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Thanks for telling this story. Love your honesty.

[@hamkir6336]

You have a red whiskey glow in this video haha. Funny story 👍 keep it up

[@anderwmarcell9503]

People have the power over you that you give them. Also there are thankless people out there, do not let them sour you on helping others. Never let someone bring you low enough to hate them.

[@tamaguy721]

Users never change...they just find a new victim. Good story Col.

[@alexcesare8097]

Can you make a video on how to send a zippo in for repair? Do we need to include a note with the broken zippo? Any advice?

[@davidspin581]

Alex Cesare That so funny!

[@capitalismmorelikecrapital6723]

plymouth state Cesare put a note in the package and just send it to the zippo factory thingy

[@qpalmer25]

Hey Jeff, Great story and with a lot of impact to me personally. I started helping a young man to work (just a little older than me evan) hoping I could help out... Long story short, I was taken advantage of. I did what I could, but for several months I received no compensation as agreed upon for a few bucks a day. Eventually I learned how difficult this situation can be and decided to cut off my new found "friend" and advised I could no longer help. You've made it easier to understand my frustration and hold me to my true fealings, thanks!

[@Jakub.K0]

When are the "Mrs B" T-shirts coming out? this story is fucking hilarious!

[@snoopu7169]

man people do take peoples kindness for a fool, but don't let that one person stop you from being helpful to your nieghbor.

[@jtyearsley]

A lesson in assertiveness, that's for sure. We all gotta learn somehow, man.

[@niwtonnac]

I remember you talking about some old lady you had to drive around before in a old video. Interesting, story time is the best.

[@slinginghotlead]

I always dig the story time vids. Thanks for sharing!

[@PatrisDev]

Great story, and don't feel bad! You should be sort of relieved that you had the opportunity to tell what you actually feel, even if it wasn't direct.

[@gunsNmoses]

10:34 "and I'm like ah fuck!" great vid Jeff. Ms. B sounds a lot like a manager I used to have at an auto dealership. She was the detailing manager and I was a detailer, I worked for minimum wage and busted my ass there. When I first started she was nice and seemed like a level headed person, but as the months went by I realized she was not who she seemed to be. My real problems started when she began to take advantage of my kindness (do not mistake my kindness for weakness). I was too scared of the consequences if I spoke up and said something that I would later regret, but I wish I had because she was a bitter little witch. I got out of that place quick and never looked back, and it was one of the best moves I ever made. No more stress.

[@helmutdiggy6874]

Such a great story ! I didn't know my wife was listening to me watch this video and I hear her say " he didn't hang up the phone" just before you said it.

[@BigZapfer]

Dude, been there, done that, learned my lesson. Good to share, starting to skip payments is a lack of respect and as you said, taking advantage of people worse of. These days, I would have dropped her 2nd payment missed, she knew exactly what shes doing. Lol I wouldn't be embarrassed, its was the truth. She should have been embarrassed for just taking and never giving back.

[@aaronharris181]

thanks +cutlerylover for telling this story. standing up for my self is something I've had trouble with in the past. but as of late, i have become more outgoing and less of a "chickencrap". this story will go in my memory bank for when someone tries to use me.

[@guncotton1950]

great line --rotten people age too - so true rotten people also come in all shapes sizes and variations but fortunately so do good people - enjoyed your story cheers

[@ryacus]

That's how a lot of people get to be so wealthy taking every short cut and free thing they can get, taking advantage of peoples good will so they don't have to spend their own money or as little of it as possible.

[@alfonsomural4792]

Jeff, you're one of my favorite person and I don't even know you. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@cutlerylover]

:) thank for your comment as well Im glad you enjoy my videos

[@DannoCrutch]

Some people just can't bear having their punching bag taken away.

[@jessewalby21]

Great story, had pretty much the same thing happen to me when I got into horses. Deal was he needed some work done around his farm and I'd help out and could keep my horse out there free. Long story short pretty much the same thing, very demanding and eventually got to the point where I didn't have time to spend training my horse because I was doing shit for him. Then the last straw was hearing about him chasing my horse around with a stick and bucket for fun so found another place. It cost a bit for boarding but moved her out the next weekend haven't talked to him since.

[@jsmith4997]

havent started the video but the title and the thumbnail just look so hilarious

[@jordanteague3186]

Wow, just went through a very similar situation. This helped me not feel like so much of a bad guy. Sometimes you have to learn how to draw a line between you and someone who only has their own interests in mind.

[@cadenarant1529]

Hey man I'm a kid who loves knives and stories so your channel is awesome and I really like the message of this keep up the good work with your videos they are all great

[@ark9800]

Thanks is for sharing Jeff! Knives are my biggest passion and I love hearing you talk about them for hours but still story times will always be my favorite. I can't help but laugh at the classic rude lesbian from New York. Lol. Sorry you had to go through all that man.

[@siloettee]

It sounds like she went from grateful to ungrateful. Much like any relationship it always starts off good, and then one person who was originally humble becomes expectant. And you knew that from you feelings, when you went from feeling good because you were helping her to feeling like its no longer a good deed, its an obligation and a chore. I think you have the right to feel resentment. You have the right to vent and feel your feelings. And yes, as bad as it is to get caught talking crap about someone, if the things you were saying about her were true, then there is very little to apologize about. If you have anything to apologize about its not being true to yourself. Its the manner in which she found out your feelings. But not the feelings themselve.

[@jaylenabsalom8211]

I had a job for a neighbour of weeding (which the weeds kept on growing back), mowing lawn and raking up leaves and sticks I spent 2 days there pulling shit loads of prickles out and we made a deal of $50 and I did an excellent job and the weeds never came back and I even swept up all the back yard. It was all because she had to leave her rental house and needed to clean up the backyard. In the end when it came to paying me at the end she only gave me $30 and at the age of 13 I was really disappointed and didn't have the guts to speak up.

[@hookdup1927]

No good deed goes unpunished. A wise proverb i have learned long ago. beneficial actions often go unappreciated or are met with hostility. If they are appreciated, they often lead to additional requests.

[@aaronpeople101]

lmao this is one of your best stories

[@jdlvtrn1]

too many men fall for the manipulative skill of women - young or old. Conversely, too many men are inattentive and dismissive of more competent, independent women. Is it hormones? This was a good reminder.

[@Dtyler171]

I fist pumped when I heard that your dad didn't hang up the phone. hahahaha

[@adamvaughan123]

I thought the title meant you're wife's neighbor did a certain thing with you, my brain. Lol, have a great day man!

[@byronbailey500]

When I was in middle school my dad would drive me to school everyday. One year in particular the winter was colder and there was a lot of snow for the area. After a few days we noticed another kid who went to my school and walked there everyday. I barely knew the kid and he was probably a sophomore or junior in high school (my school was 6th to 12th grade). Since the weather was so bad my dad just pulled over and offered him a ride. My dad's truck was a two door pickup and since I was the younger one, I offered to sit in the back even though it was uncomfortable, and I was fine with that. This went on for about week until this kid started telling me to sit in the backseat instead. He wasn't overly rude or anything like that but he told me what to do when it was my property and I didn't have to do anything. My dad took him to school that day but drove past him everyday after. It's a similar situation and it actually kinda shows just how childish the woman is in the story.

[@4randosutube]

You crack me up in a big way. I have had similar experiences however. You are right about speaking up. A whole lot of ill will came to you by not being straight with the person. Unfortunately, many times I have seen the truth in the saying "No good deed goes unpunished". With church, volunteering, in the work place, etc. You just have to be able to speak up the very first time it starts to slip into that bad place. If not ,it will never end or even get worse. And the longer it goes the harder it is to say something. I too have talked badly about someone after speaking to them on the phone. Especially on a cell phone. I've cursed and name called, or said to myself or someone with me what I wanted to say to the person but did not have the balls to say directly. Afterwards I discover the cell phone did not hang up. And the person heard what I said. Oops.

[@RealBushMonkey]

ive dealt with this a few times regarding rides to work. after a week they stop chipping in for gas,they make me 5 mins late....and in week 2 the walk to work. "AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FO DAT"!!!

[@LiveFreeAndBushcraft]

LOL... I fricken love the stories. Thanks for sharing. The older we get the less shit we take from others. I ain't got time for that. Bashing on her just pissed her off cause she heard the truth.

[@oldguy]

Good story Jeff. No good deed goes unpunished!

[@unkGUAM]

9:40 I was like oooohh shiiiiit!! You got this dude.

[@dougjohnsonbushcraftandbjj5561]

That brand new truck that is sitting in the garage is sitting there because it's a Ford. Its already broke down.

[@9999plato]

I get it. My mom had a stroke, not debilitating to the body but her mind is half shot. Despite driving up and down the east coast 4x and moving her in she became paranoid demanding, insulting and mean. She is now in assisted living. The rest of the family grew tired of her games. I still am her taxi, druggist, ferry to doctors, shopping but its better than living with that shell. It sounds mean, you have to experience it.

[@scottgrossman9080]

dude I just found ya on the tube I'm now a sub. I give ya credit for this story I've been there (taken advantage of, sucks!!!) u were cool to admit the chicken shit aspect I've been there!!!! keep up the great vids

[@EzraLLF]

Gotta love them story time videos!

[@davidsquall351]

Love these vids,I wonder how long this would have gone on without that phone call.

[@flashMXdesigner]

Actually a good story, I relate very much to being taken advantage of by being nice... You're a decent guy and it's a good learning experience - regards

[@Kickinit2kirb43]

Jeff, ...first part your dad found her, helped her, second part she helped your dad a lilttle with gas, an added benefit, third part, your dad got tired of helping her, even with added gas, and handed it to You. fourth part, you got tired of taking her all the time. inbetween , third and fourth part, (handing it to you) your dad should have told that women, No!! We cant help you anymore. You cant be so reliant on somthing. but ya you did help that women and thats what counts.

[@calebwhittington3749]

"and I wasn't doing jack sh*t" Haha sometimes I feel the same way, just to many good videos on youtube.

[@audiofella5066]

Dude this could be a Seinfeld skit, or curb your enthusiasm LOL

[@robmccabe6993]

dude ur storys are so great

[@PinchOfLuck]

Love to watch your vids man. You are a genuinely nice person. Can't wait for the next life story. :)

[@Stang413]

Don't blame yourself Jeff, after 6 months I would have stopped. And the phone call was an accident, you didn't purposely insult her to her face. I enjoy the story time videos.

[@mike-883]

What a terrible person, if you feel bad, don't. Though I know how you feel. If that happened to me I wouldn't have been so kind to apologize to a peice of shit like that. I probably would have ripped into her the next day. You did a good thing, I wouldn't have been able to do any better.

[@d0j0w0]

Great story Jeff, Pissface, that's funny!

[@honestdave]

I had the neighbor a lot like this my friend I feel your pain

[@openmypackage]

I used to have a lawn service and the little old ladies were always taking advantage of my kindness. I do not mind helping out but these ladies were being dishonest. It was always something can you do a little extra and or they would just not pay the bill and swear they did and they had more money than me. Then when I stood up for myself I was the bum and they character assassinated me.

[@1ktm586]

Love the stories, keep them coming!
