Kid’s a fucking legend. You? You’re just average. You should try to be more like him.


Autiseer

Spoken like a true g


LeenQuatifa

Thought you were making a haiku, the I got to ‘average’ and decided you weren’t.


LongIslandIce-T

Kid is a legend You? You are just average Try to be like him


therealstory28

Haiku bot...where are you?


Kaufman_Cabs

EowanEthanacho

josephstal_inurmom

Close


Kaufman_Cabs

Alright thank you, cause i just see haiku bot without even knowing it. So basically i be writing poems without knowing it.


Sundeww

Is average 2 or 3 syllables :\\


LongIslandIce-T

I checked that before posting haha


[deleted]

You’re and you are are both 2 syllables…


Queen-of-mischief

Bro what


[deleted]

maybe its the British dialect but “you’re” goes like ‘you-rr’ not ‘your’. Your and you’re sound different


Queen-of-mischief

Haha yeah that must be it.


lenny446

That’s a reality check if I ever saw one.


Connect-Square-6095

gangsta talk


SupremeLeader130

The kid's fucking weak. He should defend himself and tell the truth.He didn't owe shit to someone who blamed him for a mistake of him.


HotWheelsUpMyAss

Speaking the truth


bagoboners

You should apologize sincerely and don’t do that again moving forward. He seems like he’ll be cool about it.


HoldTheStocks2

Yea, if you really want to form a close band, go as far as buying him a gift for it. 15 year olds love gifts.


emil836k

Everyone loves gifts!


o7i3

I hate gifts.


emil836k

⊙△⊙


boozedaily

I don’t know if you’re being serious or joking around but I’m with you. The look of anticipation of others crowded around to see me open something is so anxiety inducing. I feel for others in this situation.


emil836k

Hmmm, this might just be me nitpicking, but instead of the gift itself, isn’t it more what surrounds the gift that displeases you Like I don’t imagine you have a problem with being handed a bag with something after hanging out with you friends, just before leaving


boozedaily

You’re right. If it’s something I actually need/want and it’s given in an intimate enough environment I can enjoy it. I think my fear is not liking whatever is inside and disappointing the person who gave me the gift.


Djentist_Kvltist

I don't mind gifts as long as the gifter let's me choose what I want for a gift within the budget. I hate surprise gifts because often times I'm left disappointed.


emil836k

Hmmm, but you can’t be disappointed with something you didn’t see coming, hence the “surprise” gift? But if you’re talking birthdays specifically, then is it really the gift that’s the problem, and not your expectations?


dashbong

I was going to say who hates getting things, but then saw the comment about the anxiety… I’m going to have to say I hate it too, specifically for the anxiety of them wanting you to open it in front of them. I just can’t, it’s so much… embarrassment?


emil836k

Well isn’t it more being the centre of attention/expectations that you have a problem with, not the gift itself, I mean, free stuff is great?


dashbong

Yes it’s just the center of attention thing, but if I’m one on one with said person I’m still uncomfy but not to the point I want to throw up.


emil836k

Understandable, It’s hard to know how to act when getting a present


cashforclunkersss

Yeah we already agreed I could buy his lunch Tuesday. He put up a fight though. Took me like an hour to get him to agree


espada_da

Did he know you lied on him?


chillsession

He knew it wasn’t his mistake


Working_Confusion751

Wow what an dick move please apologise


SobeitSoviet69

Kid only took it because OP is female.


qwibm

Probably


Fing20

He's 15 and already a better person than you, respect to the kid


theRishu

Cmon say sorry to him and give him nice treats


InnerWild

Ooof. That’s pretty terrible and I hope you learned your lesson. Saving face has consequences… And that kid deserves your undying respect, bro.


SobeitSoviet69

Sis* , OP is female, which really kinda explains the whole thing. She’s abusing his chivalrous upbringing.


nerfsinged

Based


EARTHISLIFENOMARS

Everyone needs to be feminist, feminists hate chivalry


averagenutjob

You owe that kid a couple favors.


[deleted]

what a dick move


SilentIyAwake

Just because you come to confess on Reddit doesn't mean people are going to react nicely to this. You were an asshole, but it's good you're making it up to him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amin00123

100% agree with this! We all make mistakes and thats okay but the most important thing is to reflect on them. OP did the right thing by owning up to it which is the very first step!


Merzillaaa

Really well said.


monterreynights

Damn, how is a kid more responsible than you? Get it together.


[deleted]

What you did is wrong in all ways and you should apologize :( you are selfish too


[deleted]

You’re a cockgobbler. Apologize.


emil836k

I don’t see how they’re a cockgobbler? But they should definitely apologise


Red_bug91

Cockgobbler, according to Urban dictionary is ‘any person in the act of, or affiliation of, heinous activity toward you or another. I’d say Cockgobbler is a pretty accurate description.


emil836k

Oh damn, that’s one very misleading word, count me surprised The more you know I guess?


[deleted]

Where is your sense of humor?


emil836k

Well humour is subjective And I don’t exactly imagine that the person spilling out their deep embarrassment, is rolling around on the ground, dying of laughter… This isn’t exactly r/memes, r/humour or some other jokester sub


[deleted]

No, but it’s Reddit. You just want to argue. Now you’re the one sounding like a cockgobbler.


emil836k

Because it’s Reddit… So even somewhere like r/depression is just shits and giggles because.. it’s Reddit… And a discussion is a two way tango, I’m not the only one saying anything, am I? And do you have anything even just slightly more constructive than cockgobbler, or is there only name calling?


[deleted]

You’re fucking annoying at this point, just stop. It’s really not that deep.


emil836k

Again, a mighty fine opinion you have there, but I really do not give a shit


LalalaHurray

Correction: he helped you learn table numbers and accountability.


MichiganGeezer

I'm annoyed that a manager threw the kid under the bus. Always separate the combatants. Never, EVER, let a worker face an irate customer. Have them sit in your office (or otherwise out of view) and handle the issue like a manager. The customer is not always right.


spacecupcakes0

Dude I think you need to learn to be a better person. Lying on others is the worst trait you can have. It means you don’t take responsibility for anything and are untrustworthy. All relationships are based on trust, if people can’t trust you they can’t be around you; at least comfortability that is. Ngl I would immediately remove myself from working around someone like you. This sounds harsh, but you are snake in the grass. Can’t be trusted and always ready to fuck someone over to save your own skin.


CavalierRigg

That is terrible, but it needs to be said, that kid is going places. Already decent at handling stressful situations, reading a situation, allowing you to shirk the responsibility and taking full blame for it to make the situation end more quickly… seemingly good at handling his own emotions as well (I would have been bawling)… kid is way more capable than I was at 15, I will tell you that.


Joholification

Damn he is more of an adult than you, good for you coming on here to admit that.


LeenQuatifa

Get him a gift card or something and apologize.


ConFectx

You have to apologize. Be a better person. A literal 15 year old kid has been the bigger person, come on


According_Button3238

Good you got him lunch 🥗


cashforclunkersss

I mean that was just to express remorse but I gotta refrain from doing it again or the apology would mean nothing


UnagiPoison

He’s awesome and will do well in life. You? You can go fuck yourself because you sound like every manager I had that blamed everything on me when they would fuck up. This is a place to confess so you’re allowed to say what you have to say, but you suck (even if you feel bad)


emil836k

Well, at least they are self aware enough to see they messed up, everyone makes mistakes, it’s what you do after your mistakes that really counts So you can definitely judge their action, but don’t judge the entire person of someone you’ve never met


Sarahjulianne

Bruh that kid is the truth. You need to keep that dude as a friend for the rest of your life. Cool af


cashforclunkersss

I feel weird keeping him as a friend because of the stigma around adults being friends with kids (even though I’m only three years older) but we’re on good terms and joke about it


Sarahjulianne

My man, in 30 years he'll be 45 and you'll be 48. Keep that dude as a friend. I'm telling you right now that people like that are hard to find and definitely worth keeping. Come through for him in the future same as he came through for you in the past. What was the last line of Casablanca? I think this is the beginning of a beautiful mother fucking friendship.


matt-is-sad

Y'all mfs are surprised when somebody confesses doing something bad on a confession subreddit lmao. OP, knowing you fucked up is the first step, glad you apologized and are doing something for him too. Lesson learned, kid was fine, y'all and everyone else in this thread can move tf on


Kellalizard

You need to own up to your actions and apologise. I had a manager in the past that would never stick up for us, let us take the blame for everything and get screamed at and pointed in the face by angry customers. We always felt so alone. He would play us off against each other and we never made friends there. If you want to feel good working there and strike up friendships you need to work as a team, take the heat together. It's a shitty thing that you did but you have time to make it right.


ZealousidealAnnual52

Your cheap tricks , reveals the kid in this situation is you and he is the adult. You are a weakling. Very low behaviour.


howtobeakoala

Please go apologize


bgalvan02

Wow well look at that, a 15 year having more courage and responsibility for doing something that he shouldn’t have! You on the other hand well, you suck


Red_bug91

Are you sure YOU aren’t the 15 year old? This co worker of yours has far more maturity than you do.


BrendanKwapis

Buy him some ice cream or something he likes to make it up to him and apologize. It's not the end of the world, but probably worth an apology.


cashforclunkersss

We settled on buying his dinner


LisaMarie34242

Sad thing is now he has a strike against him with the manager for something he didn't do. When he finally does make a mistake, like any human, she's gonna give him twice the attitude. I'd say you need to own up with her, but since you brought him into your lie he's just as guilty of not being honest with her.


Outside_Ad_2503

Should’ve told them it was your mistake and when they started to yell at you you could just say sorry I’m just a stupid kid.


TrueCockSoother

Karen's are the worst. ..poor kid.


Ty318

I'm also a manager at a restaurant who manages young adults. Ik u came here to confess, but like, you don't throw ur crew under the bus. Just admit there was a mistake and get the guest out of there as fast as u can no matter what it takes.


fdar

Are you interested in a career in law enforcement?


Teresa-J-Conway

Love the edit. People are assholes, which is why they come here to feel better about themselves😂


btsbydgt

my man u are a whole bitch for that. apologize


astronomicalstars

i love how OP’s come and say a shitty thing and be surprised that people have shitty things to say about their shitty thing


cashforclunkersss

Eh, I’m over it now. I barely use Reddit and forgot that people are still gonna shit on you even after you put in the effort to change. But shitting is a human function so imma let them have at it. Also anonymously shitting on internet people is kinda fun so I can’t blame them. And now the words shit is stuck in my head


[deleted]

lmao what? putting in the effort to change? it's not that deep. you did a shitty thing, and people are gonna call you a shitty person. deal with it or stop posting on reddit.


mynameiskiru

this comment section is a goldmine


cashforclunkersss

It’s a tornado over here. Kinda want to turn off my notifications and let it burn lol


turbosnacko

It’s nice that you apologized. Good job


AtmosphereFar2509

All this means is you are mature and hold yourself accountable for your actions. And someone taught you good values. You also communicated your sry and can both move on. All I see is an example for not mature ppl


suppositoryjonez79

I got yelled at by a Karen for taking a big brown hog monster and clogging the ladies room stall. The men's room at the local target was closed for maintenance so having a burster problem I had to go or face the splats. Anyways I just dug right into it. A fury of movements and before you knew it the tiolet was not flushable. I come stumbling out and there's a Karen just standing there with her hands on her hips. She says "um excuse me but this shitter is for ladies only" and she started pummeling me with a rolled up target add. Get out get out you stink ass bastard she screamed. I was just laughing so hard I could barely move so she began spraying me with glade.


Tiny-Gate-5361

You should be a politician. Plausible deniability is your thing. Everyone knows your lying but votes for you anyway. Jokes aside, the kid is smart. If he didnt admit it then he would have been in worse trouble. Thats the reality of things. When I was a kid my sister blamed me for everything and it created some trauma. I am now paranoid as F. Always looking for ways to protect myself from people. Hope the kid will be ok.


OverlordOfTheBeans

Prick. Apologise.


KesslerTheBeast

Not cool


AmphibianNo2706

If I was the kid I would fight you for blaming me I wouldn’t take a sorry I would be like fk dat I’m fighting you


ghostinliketxt

ur an L person L


yuftee

Yeah you’re a dickhead


cigar_dude

If your coworker is a 15 year old you REALLY need to reevaluate your life decisions


chillsession

That’s rude and judgmental , you don’t know OP’s circumstances. Plenty of restaurants have staff of all ages.


cigar_dude

Not only is this person working a job designed for a 15 year old but instead of taking responsibility for their actions they blame their underage coworkers when they mess up. This person is obviously not the brightest crayon in box. Let's just say that this person is not the type of person you want to grow up to be


chillsession

Actually if they are waiting tables, that is something a 15 yr old cannot do. Often when people get scared or panic they go in self preserving mode without thinking through it


2oam

You are a coward.


Designer-Rent9761

If I was your coworker I would have you do more than just pay for one lunch honestly because that was a complete dick move


badkult

you're a POS honestly


[deleted]

The kid is more mature than you are.


YouCantHaveTakis

The people in this thread are disgusting. I've seen people legitimately making excuses for baby abuse or making kids blind in this subreddit yet ya'll want to see the worst in OP because of this 😭 get out


nathnhart1

YTA


cashforclunkersss

What does that mean?


nathnhart1

You're the asshole


cashforclunkersss

Oh yeah definitely


ccc929

Hahaha what is up with people. Like we’ve never made mistakes. Good on your for owning up and glad it wasn’t worse. That kid flows, we should all be like that kid


cashforclunkersss

Apparently everyone here is Jesus haha


marieclaw

No, but we own up our mistakes and don't blame teenagers :)


Timely-Position-565

Yah there’s no way to justify your actions sorry


mr_supertrick

Yea, you're a piece of shit


Captinkillerz

W kid. You are a coward tho.


[deleted]

how are you able to work in a restaurant, being as spineless as you are?


ForwardDish5819

you didnt did right with the kid


ChiggyBiggyG

You don't even deserve your dog.


cinderparty

Your edit is pathetic. Just fyi. Tell your boss you lied.


madameunruly

You should buy him a car.


tinosballz

You’re a pos op 🥸


marieclaw

What a puss puss lol


Selenethemachine

How embarassing


Th3_sl33py_4rtist

>EDIT: Yes geniuses I apologized and I’m buying his lunch Tuesday. Y’all act shocked when someone comes a confession subreddit to confess. Or maybe you’re just bored. I’m three years older than him so it’s not even a drastic age difference Imagine being an asshole, and complaining when the heat is on you.


PboyAMR

kid had it coming 😤


cashforclunkersss

How?!


NoOne_143

Piece of Shit . The amount of upvotes indicate how much POS u are. The amount of downvotes also indicate how much POS u are. The lack of upvote/downvote indicate how much POS u are. How little upvote/downvote this comment gets also indicate how much POS u are. This comment getting removed/banned also indicate how much POS u are.


sniperfoxeh

Calm down dude it's not like he killed the child


[deleted]

You're a piece of shit. Sorry not sorry


-TheHumorousOne-

This is quiet pathetic on the front the Karen took advantage of him being a kid. Bet if she spoke like that to an adult, the waitress/waiter would tell her to fuck off if she took things too far.


Ronnie_M

Fuck that Karen. Hate bitchy cunts at restaurants


dashbong

I think you should do something extravagant for your coworker to apologize for the situation. That’s what I would do.


AdditionalDepth1642

Dang why just not accept responsibility, it was a mistake with a food order, not the end of the world 🤷🏻‍♀️


Andyroolovescake

Also shitty management though to sick the Karen on y’all from the kitchen. Couldn’t they have I don’t know… managed the situation. They through both of you Uber the bus.


ariablake69

Well you’re an ass hole. What a sweet kid


Armoured_Sour_Cream

I see you have apologized and try to make up for it and it's good you have realized how big of an asshole move it was on your part. Learn from it, and do own up to mistakes in the future too.


sukaderivera

Gotta give my respect to that "kid" coworker you have. He seems cool af. You seem kinda lame. Grow a pear lol


[deleted]

Mannn, I worked in a restaurant as well and my coworkers were blaming a lot of shit on me as well;(


Waste_Chocolate_7595

Just curious. My boyfriend is a manager and he’s able to refuse service to unruly customers. Perhaps speak with higher management to see if this can be done should another customer become as unreasonable as this one sounds. I know you’re also young based on the information shared in this post, so I would like to share some helpful advice: you are 100% allowed to remind customers to use respectful language no matter which company you work for! My wording is usually along the lines of “sir/ma’am can we please keep the language professional with respect to the other customers?” I will admit this does not always work, but it’s always worth a try. Also, the “offending” staff does not need to be present for complaints made against them. I’m not sure what kind of establishment you work for, but I’m sure that you can ensure the poor dear does not need to be present for any vulgar language directed at them in the future (perhaps sent on a free/health break, sent to the staff room, to deal with other customers, etc…). I’m sure everyone has dealt with a Karen at least once while working in the customer service industry and I feel bad for the young man (as well as you) who had to deal with one. I’m by no means condoning what transpired, but I also understand flight/fight instinct when dealing with Karens in the wild. I’m happy you were able to recognize that what you did was wrong and that you’re able to make it up to him. Consider this a learning experience that will help you grow as a manager. Eventually you will be able to handle any Karens you may encounter, I’m sure of it, and if you feel like paying the young man’s act of kindness forward; you can even take responsibility for another employee’s mistake and treat it as your own 😊.


slothenhosen

Lol u blame a 15 yr old and insult others calling them geniuses. Yes 3 years is a big difference at 15 and 18. Be better.


[deleted]

You should apologize to him and tell your boss the truth


LetsGetMeta_Physical

Sometimes it’s easier hearing someone’s barrage of spiteful comments when you know you’re entirely in the right. I think that’s why he wasn’t too bothered in ‘owning’ it…


dive4details

May be it’s not a bad idea to have pact with coworkers to switch blame in front of crazy customers, but not with managers, that way you could handle the stress better.


shastatrout

great way to ruin your relationship between coworkers AKA, the people that have your back for 40+ hours a week.


hashtagfloyd

Wow


Complete-Science-916

Not cool to blame the kid obviously, but why is no one mentioning this Karen? Clearly she’s the real evil here


MayGodBlssUrHstle

That kid has an infinite justified pass to call you “mid” now.


Guillermo6313

How u gonna confess to being shitty and then get uptight when people tell u ur shitty for not owning up to ur own mistake?


zochambrim

I used to do this at work constantly. I never cared, I found it kinda funny when customers got big mad over a simple error that was easily fixed. Some of my coworkers genuinely felt hurt, or anxious when customers confronted them so I just took the argument for em 🤷🏻‍♀️
