'I've never felt greater satisfaction': Guy gets back at a bad driver by tricking him into going 50mph over the speed limit directly in front of a police speed trap

Road rage is a pretty common emotion to feel when you're driving on the freeway. Contrarily, ‘road vindication’ is something seldom seen and for frequent road ragers, but it certainly would be nice to see some of the bad drivers and muppets you see behind the wheel get a little justice handed to them every now and then. Imagine if every tailgater, swerving, Fast & Furious wannabe got exactly what they deserved right in front of you eyes?

'I do not have to have a driver's license to drive a vehicle': Karen gets stopped by officer in Florida, refuses to show her license

'I do not have to have a driver's license to drive a vehicle': Karen gets stopped by officer in Florida, refuses to show her license

Some people never seem to understand that rules apply to them. It's as if they were never told “no” as a child and have since created some sort of warped alternative reality where their own rules are law and nothing else matters. In some ways, one might seem envious of this way of life. However, it's all fine and good until an authority figure reminds you that this is not La La Land. This is the real world, and in the real world, you need to have a driver's license in order to drive a car. We k…

Cops stop driver for traffic violation, he tears up his own cash

'You're gonna...make this even worse for yourself?': Cops stop driver for traffic violation, driver tears up his own cash

This guy had an interesting reaction to being pulled over by police . As police officers approached this dude's vehicle, they informed him that he was about to get a ticket. The price of the ticket is a mere $10, which is probably the cheapest ticket I've ever heard of. But nevertheless, this guy began to freak out, all while the passenger next to him stares ahead in silence. There's no amount of cash that's worth tearing up for this reason. However, the driver justifies the decision by insisti…

stealing thief karen karens coupon fake scam fraud cops police retail arrested retail-worker employee manager new-hire training trainee reddit entitled-people entitled

'She was trying to steal': Scammy Karen tries to use a fake '99% off' coupon to swindle the cashier, gets pinched by the cops instead

It seems like we're always getting email promos for 10% off or 20% discounts to our favorite retail stores. Very rarely, you see a 40-50% sale and only when a store is going out of business do you catch anything higher than 75% off. That's why when one cashier spotted a Karen waltzing into their store with a 99% off coupon, they smelled something fishy.

'She left with the most... smug grin on her face': Customer flips out on mechanic who warns that her steering wheel is about to break

This car had some major issues — for one, the steering wheel was about to break off. There's a stereotype about mechanics. Some people think mechanics are only interested in trying to get money out of them. They believe that instead of a quick fix that costs a few dollars, that their mechanic is actually trying to get them to spend thousands of dollars to perform unnecessary work . To be fair, some mechanics do operate this way, and it's hard to figure out who's right – you, the person who driv…

'You are lying': Karen gets vanquished after trying to catch a free ride on the bus; she gets busted, refuses to leave, then gets arrested

When you're a kid, it's always fun to try to get away with stuff. Sneaking into movies, pocketing a candy bar at checkout, and watching scandalous late night TV with your buddies combines the thrill of being caught with the reward of saving money– three kids piled up in a trench coat can all agree that sneaking into a movie theater for a free flick and a dash of debauchery is the best. As adults though, when you don't pay for tickets to things, then it's no longer charming or cute...

AITA for not picking up an extra shift. Even after my boss sent her husband (cop) to give me a lifted?

Update: 'I called the labor department': CNA reports her job after boss randomly sends police to her house to pick her up for an unscheduled shift

This certified nursing assistant got put in an awkward situation when she declined to work a shift, and her boss just couldn't accept it. Doctors and nurses are chronically overworked, and are terribly under appreciated. The very people who take care of us when we're at our most vulnerable state are often exhausted from their own long shifts. This woman is feeling that right now. As she wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, she worked eight days of 16-hour shifts in a row! Instead of treating her like a su…

The reason this dude refuses to take his personal website down is actually pretty reasonable — but not to the officials in his touristy town. This guy has been through an insane amount of stuff in his life, as he shared to r/AmItheA**hole. It all started when he got arrested in front of all his coworkers , which he calls the most embarressing moment of his life, for a crime he didn't commit. Still, the OP spent nearly two months in prison, and lost his entire life because of it. His son was tak…

One Karen ruined her life in a spectacularly fast fashion after getting into a squabble with a construction crew who was just trying to keep a parking spot open. Lots of Karens mess around and find out, but this entitled mom was especially punished for her deeds! As the OP u/BBQLunch, wrote in a classic r/ProRevenge post, they work as a foreman on construction projects , and were working on a rather difficult project on the day of the incident.
