Em Definition of Em at Dictionary.com

Hello everyone. Long time creeper on here. Never thought I’d run into an entitled entitled mom (EM) but. Here we are.
So I’m 20F. I am a dog groomer. Been one for 4 almost 5 years. The big thing is dog grooming is reputation, quality, and time management. Yesterday we were expecting a girl to come in at 10 to try out as a dog groomer. She was promising. 23 or 25 years old. Worked as a dog groomer at other places. She didn’t show till 4:30. No call. No nothing. She apparently had a hair appointment and friends from out of town came in so they got their nails done. She asked if she could groom now. I said no. I don’t think so. When she pressed I said and I might be a jerk for saying this “We don’t want or need you. There’s no need to reschedule your try out.” I went back to get my last two dogs done. Apparently, she cried and I was starting to feel bad.
Now EM time. Her mom came in this morning demanding we give her a second chance. I told her “Your daughter was 6 and a half hours late. That’s not something that works in dog grooming”. EM replied, “She was with friends. I’d think someone your age would understand that.”
Me “not when there’s a job interview. She didn’t call or anything.” At this point, I was ticked and over it. I have five dogs to get done. She said,” well there was no reason to make her cry!” I said I disagree and got back to work. Apparently, she stayed up there and demanded we give her another shot. As head dog groomer I said not gunna happen. She left eventually saying her daughter was too good for us.
Hello everyone well this blew up. Thank you for all the comments. I’m reading through all of them and will try to reply to as many as I can. Have a good day everyone!

My mother (The EM of our tale) grew up in a household that didn’t believe in doctors or going to the hospital, this translated to an irrational fear of hospitals for my EM. At the time of this story I was 14, in high school, and about to have a very bad day. I should start by saying that my EM lives exactly ONE MILE away from the closest emergency room. Also my siblings and father were out of town for a competition that weekend, I didn’t feel like going to another cheerleading competition so I stayed home.
I get home from school on a Friday around 4 pm and call EM to tell her that I don’t feel good and think I need to see a doctor. EM says that she has a 1 hour workout with her personal trainer(PT), who happens to train the whole family for our sports teams. EM tells me that she will come home right after and take me to the pediatrician.
4:40 pm I call EM saying that something is seriously wrong with me and I really think I need to go to the hospital. She tells me that PT just had a cancellation and she is staying for another hour workout then she will take me to the doctor.
5:10 pm I call EM and beg her to come home because I’m in a lot of pain and feel terrible. She gives the phone over to PT who says, I shit you not, “It sounds like a muscle cramp from our workout last week, you’ll be fine buddy.” She says she will call our friendly neighbor (FN) across the street to check on me. 10 minutes later I hear FN walk in through the door and come to my room to check me out. I’m on the floor because I fell after going to the bathroom and couldn’t get up. She helps me into bed and immediately calls EM. Convo goes something like this
FN: Hey EM, I think you need to get here ASAP. Your son is white as a sheet and sweating bullets. Also he is in so much pain he can barely move. EM: Oh I’m sure he is fine, probably just overreacting from a muscle cramp like PT says. FN: This isn’t just a muscle cramp. He needs to see a doctor. I can put him in my car and meet you at [Hospital ER that is only ONE MILE away]. EM: No need for that, I’ll finish up here and head home to take him to the doctor. CLICK
5:45 pm FN calls EM again and EM says she is in changing room then will be home in 10 minutes (gym is pretty close).
6:20 pm EM finally gets home. FN tela her what I’ve been going through and says I need to go to the ER. EM says she is taking me to see our pediatrician.
EM does take me to see our pediatrician, who also runs a pediatric ER, the problem is that doctor’s office is 25 minutes drive away with zero traffic, and we are at the ass end of rush hour.
7:15 ish pm We get to the Pediatric ER and they immediately take me into the back to see what’s wrong. Turns out I have an acute appendicitis and it’s close to bursting so they need to send me over to [Hospital ONE MILE from my house] to get it removed. The entire time my EM is murmuring about needing to get ready for a trail the next day (she’s a divorce lawyer) and how I’ll probably be fine and just need to sleep it off. Then there comes a moment when EM is out of the room but I have a doctor and nurse in the room alone with me. I tell them the whole story about how I’ve been trying to get her to take me to the ER since 4, how we lived only a mile away from the hospital they wanted to send me but my EM decided to go here because she hates big hospitals. The doctor didn’t really believe me until I told him to MapQuest (old school I know) my address relative to the hospital.
I managed to convince them to call for an ambulance to transport me to the hospital to make sure I got there. After my surgery the nurse told me that my appendix burst as they began the surgery so they had to be quick.
To this day I still tease PT every time I see him by grabbing my side and saying I think I have a Muscle Cramp. I’ve never heard him use those words together since.
EDIT: Thanks for all the awards! First time receiving awards! I’ll try to remember a few more to post for you guys.

1.8% of all pick'ems are perfect, which translates to 59,307 players.
Let's see how many are left after group C.
I'm also perfect until tomorrow where unless there is a 3-way tie at 3-3 and TSM wins the bracket, I can kiss winning it all goodbye.

(Happened before Covid)
Cast:Mf-my friend EM-entitled mom me-myself and I
So i decided to stay over at my friends house for the weekend. I had forgotten to put extra tampons in my bag.
I arrive and for the most part everything was alright, i already knew EM was entitled sometimes cause my friend told me but i never saw it.
We were just talking and watching Netflix and the urge to go to the bathroom hit me.i then realised that yup, that was my period. I asked my friend if i could use one of her tampons cause I forgot to bring some.My friend gave me one and I thought everything was okay.
A few minutes go by and MF and me are in the living room when EM comes running from mf’s bedroom(apparently she was going through a ‘daily inspection’ of mf’s bedroom and noticed mf was down one tampon)
My friend already told me about her mother basically a control freak and if anything was out of the ordinary MF would get punished.
So she comes in to the living room.
Em-why is one of your tampons missing?!
Mf- uhhh...(me) borrowed one
Me-uncomfortable
Em-WELL YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE AWAY TAMPONS!!
mf- there is no big deal, its just one...
Em-IF SHE WAS PLANNING ON MENSTRUATING THEN SHE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HER OWN!!
Me-super uncomfortable well, i forgot to keep track... and i just borrowed one...
Mf- MOM, Its just one damn thing, it doesn’t affect ur life in anyway whatsoever!
Em-ugh, but this is coming out of your pocket, I don’t buy u tampons so u can just give them away.
Mf-Why are you always like this?! Its just ONE thing!
Em-looking at me We’ll talk after ur friend leves...
she leaves the room
After Em left the air was super awkward but me and Mf were able to joke it out.
After i left my friend told me that Em demanded that Mf give her 1 pound for the tampon. And its safe to assume that i never went back to her house.

0.42% of all pick'ems are perfect, which translates to 13680 players.
Let's see how many are left after group D.
I also wanted to give a shout out to rogue for killing my pick ems.

Shoutouts to all the Poros out there who managed to get absolutely no picks right, not even teams who advance.
For context over 3,000 people got perfect Pick'Ems, so obviously this feat is far more prestigious.
You truly are in the bottom 0.022%.

Cast: Me (a German), my wife (Can speak German) My nephew(Can only speak German). Em and Nk (Can’t speak German)
Me and my wife went to Germany for three weeks for my dads birthday. We stayed at my brothers place in Berlin. We took my nephew Ben to the zoo and some other places. We see American tourists, you can tell, walking around the zoo. We walk over and say “Hi how are you” She tells us that we said it wrong. She also mutters “Stupid Germans”. We try to say we are from America and that she was rude.
She then talks to my nephew ,who know only German, “How is the zoo” and “Are you from American”. He sputters out some german, and she freaks the fu*k out. “How dare you lie to me, I am an American. Yes she was yelling at people in their own country to speak english. We try to explain to her that me and my wife live in the states and my nephew lives hear. Then her kid just yanked her away and mouthed sorry. We quickly left after.
Update: I told my wife this and she said the lady thought it was FREAK THE FUCK OUT O’CLOCK
Update: I live in the states so you don’t need to say we are not all crazy

A few years ago I was living in Vegas and an EM literally wheeled me away from my family. I have a number of health issues and after a few botched surgeries and neurological damage I was bedridden. I never left my house/bed except for doctor appointments. I hadn’t been out AT ALL for two and a half years. I had worked really hard on my daily physical therapy and my balance had greatly improved. My family came out for a visit (my husband was stationed at Nellis afb) and I was so excited to surprise them with my improvements. I could stand and walk and was actually wearing pants.
To celebrate I wanted to go see the fountains at the Bellagio. For most people this is a nice outing but for me this was years in the making. I was nervous I might get overtired and lost in the fast moving crowds so we had to bring my wheelchair. We knew the schedule for the fountains and arrived super early to secure a spot in front where I could see from my chair. It was such an important moment for all of us. We lined up by the fence and no sooner did the show start I felt this jerking on my wheelchair. I thought maybe someone had tripped on me and I immediately looked up to apologize. I was pretty self-conscious and ashamed of being out in a wheelchair in such a big crowd. When I glanced up to apologize I see this woman with a small child on her hip using one hand to literally PULL ME AWAY from the fence. Because she was only using one hand she spun me completely around to face the street.
I was stunned. I could hear everyone reacting to the fountain show and here I was looking dumb awkwardly facing a bunch of strangers. I yelled for my husband but he couldn’t hear me over the noise. I look behind me and this woman had plopped her child up onto the guard rail. Never made eye contact with me, never said one word to me, and had treated me like a piece of luggage. I tried to stand up but the people around me had crowded me so much I didn’t have room to push my chair back enough. I desperately looked around at the strangers in front of me hoping someone who had seen what happened would help. It then dawned on me that this was a huge family/friend group. They all began nudging me aside, further and further away from my family. It all happened so fast. I found myself pushed into the “walking” area where people who weren’t stopping to watch the fountain show were quickly trying to walk past. People couldn’t see me through the crowd and were stumbling ovepast me. I couldn’t see my family anymore and was trying hard to push myself up out of my chair the way my physical therapist had taught me. I feel someone grabbing my chair again and I panicked. I start yelling “no, please! No!” And then realized it was my husband. He had glanced to check on me and to take a picture of me being out for the first time and I was gone. He had to fight his way through the crowd (the same family group) to find me. I burst into tears. I don’t know why, but it was like all the trauma from the last few years hit me all at once. I told him they had pushed me away. And after putting it together, my husband was PISSED. He turned to this group of people and demanded to know who had pushed me away. By this time the fountain show was pretty much over. The group initially just ignored my husband like they had me, until I pointed out the woman with her child as the culprits. My family confronted her, nicely I might add, and tried to explain why a wheelchair is an extension of a person, etc.
She at first pretended like she didn’t speak English. But I had heard them talking amongst themselves in English while they pushed me into the walking area and I told my husband as much. She then gave up that act and told my family about how I was in their way and “probably couldn’t see anyway,” and the man with her claimed, in a raised voice, that “in their country they don’t take their ‘shameful’ family members out in public.” To which my husband responded, “if that were true, none of you would be here.”
I was maybe even more shocked by his last sentence than being wheeled away. I managed the courage to tell him that what he said was bullshit and that “I’m sure people in your country are actually kind and would be proud if I was their daughter!” I remember the exact words I said because later I was very proud that I stood up to them. The group sort of collectively scoffed, spoke to one another quickly in what I think was Hindi, and slowly walked away as if nothing happened. We didn’t stay for the next show because I just wanted to go home.
I don’t know which is worse, pushing a disabled person in a wheelchair out of your way or wrongly painting your countrymen as prejudice.
Edit: THANK YOU all so much for your supportive and empathetic comments as well as awards. I truly appreciate it!
