Karen chases customer out of store, employees lock her out with her stuff still inside: 'They just closed and locked the doors'

If there's one person you don't want to mess with, it's an EMT who has just finished their shift… EMTs are some of the hardest working individuals with a job that necessitates sleep deprivation, self-sacrifice, and trauma that reaches far, far above their pay grade. Even a shift for them that is “not bad” would be enough to send the rest of us looking for another line of work. While they're some of the nicest people, every EMT I've ever known personally gets through their job by being partially…

'Good luck parking now': Driver's targeted parking move backfires when one person restricts access to their parking space

'Good luck parking now': Driver's targeted parking move backfires when one person restricts access to their parking space

Big, packed parking lots are my nightmare. Trying to maneuver my small car in between angry drivers who I believe are out to get me is one of my least favorite things to do in the world. If you own a car, you don't really have a choice… You just have to accept your fate. This person was going Christmas shopping in Philly when they encountered a parking lot Karen who had carefully surveilled the situation before her. OP had their blinker on, and was waiting patiently for another driver to vacate…

'She tried to push me out of my chair and take it': Elderly woman tries ejecting young man from wheelchair in supermarket after he refuses to give it to her

'She tried to push me out of my chair and take it': Elderly woman tries ejecting young man from wheelchair in supermarket after he refuses to give it to her

Public spaces always give me the ick. There are too many people strutting about, scanning the busy streets for strangers to tell their woes to. This would not bother me so much if I didn't always end up the target of a long, drawn-out conversation about how much someone hates their boss, how their kids are acting up in school, or how their cat ran away (again). Maybe I have a wholesome, 'Please approach me and tell me your life story' face, or maybe these people just take a random pick from the…

'A woman came in to return a bag of soil because "the bag was dirty"': 25+ Retail workers who were utterly baffled by their customers' requests

While working retail, these people have seen it all. Cashiers get to see people from all walks of life, of all ages, and of all levels of sanity. These retail workers shared some stories of the wildest interactions they've had with customers. That's one of the strange things about working retail---you always have to take the customer seriously, even if you're pretty sure they're messing with you. Some customers love to mess with retail staff , even though no one seems to find it funny except th…

'I walked past the entitled women, snagged one of the carts full of groceries and took off': Customer teaches entitled Karens a lesson for being inconsiderate to a employee

'[I] snagged one of the carts full of groceries and took off': Customer teaches entitled Karens a lesson for dissing an employee

This awesome Redditor's petty revenge happened one day in a Walmart. Yes, that is important context. In the chaotic aisles of the store, a young female employee was trying to navigate her cart through a jam created by two entitled women in their 40s. Their snobby expressions were like they were royalty encountering a mere commoner. Imagine some dramatic music and a mischievous chuckle in the background. Our OP was not about to have it.

'Don't use price labels': Manager's extreme cost cutting measures cost them big time

'Don't use price labels': Manager's extreme cost cutting measures cost them big time

Extreme couponing is an interesting hobby that serves as a great past-time for house spouses who need a break from the tiring work of pitching the latest MLM fad to old acquaintances. It also makes for some pretty mediocre television that makes for a passable watch when you're drifting in a fever dream and too sick to change the channel. It does not, however, make for a good means of operating a business. And, yet, many managers and business owners out there employ it as a strategy, paying no h…

'We were now operating on a shoe-string budget so the manager got as much money as they could': Extreme cost saving measure causes costly pricing error

At a certain point, cutting costs to extreme measures will just cost you more in the long run or cause your entire business to fold under its own weight—or both… simultaneously. The short-sighted pursuit of profit is a trap that businesses often fall into—and why not? It's an easy methodology to follow that makes sense and follows logical reasoning: Spend less, earn more. The issue is that you have to spend money to earn money, and not investing in proper resources can cost you more when you ne…

Guy takes advantage of prime rib pricing blunder, manager tells him he has cost someone their job

'The manager was livid': Guy takes advantage of prime rib pricing blunder, manager tells him he has cost someone their job

Look. If you had one shot—or one opportunity—to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? This guy certainly did not miss his chance to blow when he stumbled on the succulent opportunity of a lifetime: a goldmine of prime rib priced down to absurdly low figures. If it weren't for the fact that he intended to (supposedly) cook this meat for a Veterans' charity, I'd probably have to say that he is the AH here. Having worked retail in a previous lif…

'He scanned his card at my till': Insanely entitled dude tries to steal guy's supermarket fuel rewards points in daring heist

It's no secret that entitled people consider themself to be immune to the social courtesies and rules that the rest of us follow. They think that an action is just fine as long as it gets them ahead. There are your bulk-standard entitled acts, and then there are extremely petty acts like this. There's such a minor benefit to be had in a “grocery store fuel rewards heist” that it's especially insane to undertake that behavior. Like, bro, you're really going to steal my $0.05/gallon fuel discount…

'The woman laughed and made a whiney noise, mimicking me. She had no idea who she was messing with.' : Entitled Karen teases woman and steals her parking space, leading to wild revenge

Parking at wholefoods can suck the happiness out of anyone. Even if you won the lottery ten minutes prior, sliding into the wholefoods parking lot will take your high and throw it in the trash. The number of Karens running, driving, strutting and squawking is implausible, unless you've seen it firsthand. This lady was waiting patiently for her turn in said parking lot, her blinkers turned on, the wind blowing in her hair, just chilling, as an elderly woman was taking her time leaving her parkin…

‘Does It Look Like I Care if My Car Gets Hit?’ : Entitled Lady Double Parks Cart in Handicapped Spaces, Bystander Plays Vigilante, Ultimately Blocking Her as Revenge

We all believe that if we witnessed something terrible taking place, we'd certainly take some sort of action to help the person in trouble. Then why are there so many videos rampant online showing what psychologists like to call ‘The Bystander Effect’? For those of you who don't know, this term, otherwise known as ‘Bystander Apathy’, is when something happens right in front of you and a bunch of other people's eyes, yet none of you step in or do anything. Why? For some weird reason, the presenc…
