Hi. This is a story all about how an entitled family managed to nearly set off the fire alarms in a busy motorway services. I'm on mobile and I'm British.
Em: you should know by now. Ed: same. Me: 😉 Aaaand there are 3 Eks as well.
Background:
I work for a big roadside services in the UK as a maintenance, landscaper, cleaner and all round odd job guy. My job requires me to be trained in first aid and as a Fire Marshall. A Fire Marshall has to make sure all fire safety rules are being kept, check to see if when a fire alarm sounding it is a fire or false alarm and help evacuate the building in the event of a fire.
So the story: I was walking around the food court just checking up on things, when someone lights a birthday cake covered in candles on the table I happen to have been passing. It was designed like half a football, (soccer for Americans) and was a standard supermarket bought thing. Candles were placed on it surrounding a big birthday fountain, about the size of a small roman candle, giving off a surprising amount of smoke. Obviously I was concerned about safety of the other customers and the potential fire risk so I approached the entitled family. The following conversation ensued.
Me: excuse me but you need to put that out. It could set off the fire alarms.
Em: it will be out in a minute, it's my boy's birthday.
Me: I'm sorry but you really need to put it out now. It's a fire hazard.
Em: no! Go away. It's fine!
Me: seriously. You can't have something like that in here. If the alarms go off we may have to evacuate the building until the fire service gives us the all clear.
Em: go away you little worm! You are ruining my boys birthday.
Ek1: yeah you nerd. Loser. Ek2: useless. Ek3: moron.
Me, trying to remain professional: I've asked you nicely. If the fire alarms go off then you will be held responsible.
Ed: piss off. Who are you to tell us what to do.
Me: It's my job as a fire Marshall to ensure the safety of other customers in our building.
The Em then put the birthday fountain out and threw it across the table at me.
Em: whatever. Here, it's out now. You can do your job and dispose of this now.
Me: fine. But as is our policy I will be taking down your vehicle registration and will be talking to my boss about your disregard for others safety and your attitude towards a stadd member.
At this point I walked away as I had other duties that needed my attention there was no need to stick around any longer now the birthday fountain had been put out.
10 - 15 minutes later, I saw the entitled family get up and go outside to the carpark. I followed them in order to note down their registration, but on the other side of the road from them, walking between cars to make it look as though I was heading to my own car parked at the top of the car park. (They were driving a big expensive Land rover, private number plates and without a single speck of dirt on it. No surprises there as they are very popular among entitled people in the UK.) Unfortunately, the Em happened to look behind and across from her at this point and suddenly began to march towards me.
Em: right! I've had just about enough of you! You stalking us now?! I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER NOW!
Me: He won't be in until tommorow.
Em: I'lll have your job! What's your name?!
Me: it's Smash_my_pumpkin.
Em: you are a jobs worth! Usless jumped up little man. You're a worm. A Loser.
During this, Ek 1, 2 and 3 had also spotted me and decided to throw insults at me, as if I needed more abuse thrown my way.
This is where I screwed up, as I totally lost my temper. Anyone in the puplic sector will tell you this is a Big no no. You don't have to take abuse, but you have to deal with it in a professional manner. I didn't.
Me: right! I've had enough! I've tried to be polite through all your abuse but I don't £&#@ care anymore. You are a massive entitled cow.
Em: REEEEE! What did you call me?!
Me: A #£&£ cow. You are the biggest entitled parent I have ever met here. Make a complaint. I don't care. But you can go piss off. Have a wonderful day.
I made a quick exit back to the services building, went into the staff area and proceeded to have an anxiety attack. (full tears etc.) It took me 40 minutes to regain my composure before I could return to work.
Edited a few days later after I calmed down.
To Mr reddit Redditor
You have my full permission to use this story. I hope you do. I watch your videos when I go to bed and I listen to 's podcasts at work too. I wish Mr reddit and redditor also had podcasts.
Thanks.
Ps. I know this was originally badly written. I have ADHD (a learning disability) and grammar is not my strong point. Also this was written straight after the incident and I was in a hurry to write it all down.
Edit: So I had an investigation interview where I got to read her complaint and it reminded me of something I missed out.
In her email I apparently instigated it all, shouted at her in the car park first and, in typical ep fashion, said I traumatised her poor kid and his friends.
Surprisingly she did mention what I had forgotten. She asked me at the time where the signs were that stated about her not lighting candles. At which point I said that:
It's common sense. We don't have signs up saying, for example, don't light a bonfire in the food court and make a human sacrifice to an ancient evil. Or don't ride a motorbike through the front doors and up to mcdonalds in an attempt at getting a literal drive in meal. If we put signs up for everything you couldn't do that requires common sense it would run the length of the entire building.
Some people.
The result:
Unfortunately I will get a final written warning for my loss of temper, which I probably deserve. The ep obviously gets away with no repercussions whatsoever.
Also thanks for the support in the comments.
Oh and if this story is ever featured please link me. Thanks.

Hi. This is a story all about how an entitled family managed to nearly set off the fire alarms in a busy motorway services. I'm on mobile and I'm British.

If on medication Seek medical advice before driving.
If feeling drowsy when driving, stop and rest as soon as it is safe and legal. Make sure you have a good supply of fresh air.😴😴😴
Stay off the phone when driving. Pull up in a safe,legal and convenient location.📱
Plan for regular stops during your journey.
Plan routes using the internet, a map or by contacting a motoring organisation. Planning your journey at busy times can ease congestion.⏰

️⃣2️⃣〰️Road Safety〰️

MSM - Mirror, Signal, Move.
Stay Calm, patient, considerate, courteous and safe.

Warning triangle , 147 feet. Snooker fans will see the connection here.
Parking on the right hand side at night is allowed on a one way street.
If the speed limit of a road is over 30 miles per hour, parked cars must use parking/side lights.
Do not reverse for longer than necessary. If in doubt, get out and look. You may not see a child behind the car.
Anti Dazzle is to guard against dazzle from lights in the rear view mirror. It protects against lights from vhicles driving behind you.
The external mirrors, are curved / convex, and give a wider field of vision.
Closed junctions give limited visibility when emerging. Edge forward slowly ( Peep and creep). Look for reflections in bus stops and house windows.
Do not wave road users to cross the road, its not up to you to tell them what to do, let them make their own decisions. Look them in the eye, keep your hands on the wheel, slow down, even stop if needed.
Pedestrians should approach on YOUR side of a country road. Walking towards you.
Three risks regarding parked cars are , doors opening, cars pulling away, and pedestrians stepping out.
Do NOT stop on the hard shoulder unless in an Emergency.🛑
Keep back from large vehicles.
Turning Right, be aware of Motorcyclists. Turning Left, be aware of Cyclists.

3️⃣〰️Vehicle Control〰️

Following distances.

☀️☀️2 second rule in good conditions. ☀️☀️ 🌧🌧4 seconds wet roads. Beware of spray.🌧 ❄️❄️10 seconds on icy roads. ❄️❄️

Snow / Icy conditions, drive at a slow speed in as high a gear as possible.
On black ice, steering may feel light and tyres can sound quieter on the road.
Tailgating is a term used for following too close to other vehicles. Remember Tyres & Tarmac and the 2 second rule.
If a car is following too closely, increase the space in front of you, by slowing down to allow more time to stop.
Help control your speed, with use of the engine braking in lower gears.
Coasting gives less steering and braking control.
In an Emergency apply the footbrake Rapidly & Firmly.
The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is unlikely to help on loose surfaces and surface water. It kicks in just as the wheels are about to lock. Brake rapidly and firmly do not releasing the pedal. This will also allow you to steer while braking.
If a car does not have Anti-Lock Brakes and begins to skid Release the Brake and Reapply.
Skidding is Mainly caused by THE DRIVER
When skidding you should steer INTO it.
Skid Right Turn Right,
Skid Left – Turn Left
A FORD ( water ) may be worse during Winter, Low gear and drive slowly. Test your brakes afterwards, they will be wet, look for a depth gauge.☔
If a trailer starts snaking, Ease off the Gas, and gently slow down.
Stopping distance can be affected by: Weather, Tyre/Brake condition, Speed, Your health, ability and alertness.

Hazard warning lights are primarily used to warn other vehicles that there is a problem either with your own car, or there is a hazard in front of them causing them to reduce speed quickly. Hazard lights are also referred to as 4-way flashers as all the indicators on a car flash simultaneously. When you see a car with its hazard warning lights on you should slow down and be aware of your surroundings as you may need to move away from the car leaving a wide berth or slow down to the speed the car is travelling. All modern cars and some motorcycles are fitted with hazards warning lights and should be used at the appropriate times as taught on your driving lessons. Hazard warning lights are mostly used by drivers when they have a problem with their car whether this be that it has broke down and is obstructing the road or is in the process of doing so. When on the road you should keep your hazard warning lights on to make other drivers aware that you have a problem, this even applies when you have moved over onto the hard shoulder of a motorway. Hazard lights can also be used on motorways to warn other drivers of hazards ahead. When going at such fast speeds obstructions on the road can creep up on you at the last minute, however drivers in front can see further up the road and warn drivers behind of the hazards they're approaching to cause less harsh braking and maybe even pile ups on motorways. There are a few situations where some drivers think that it's acceptable to use your hazard warning lights when in actual fact it isn't. For example when you're lost and travelling slowly on a road, night or day. Your hazard warning lights should never be used whilst you are moving with an exception of when slowing down quickly on a motorway as mentioned above. Some drivers also think that hazard warning lights can be used to excuse drivers from illegal parking such as parking on double yellow lines or in disabled parking pays. The use of hazard warning lights in these situations won't excuse you from illegal parking and it should never be done. When on your driving lessons you will be shown how to identify whether somewhere is safe, legal and convenient to park and when to use your hazard warning lights. Your driving theory test is also likely to include a question on when to use your hazard warning lights to test your knowledge of the Highway Code. Make sure you know how to turn your hazard lights on and the appropriate times to use them. If you're unsure how to turn your hazard lights on and off in the car you take your driving lessons in just ask your instructor!
