Gen X is built different.

There is nothing like an entitled Karen who very much can pay for something but chooses to cause a scene instead. This lady refused to pay the local landscaping business that had been doing work for her for over three years. She falsely accused them of not completing jobs and eventually requested an itemized list of jobs they had done for her during this time to stall even further. The worst part of the whole debacle is that this is the same lady who brags to anyone who will listen about how we…

Every parent needs a trusty babysitter they can leave their kids with from time to time. Whether you need them to watch your kids while you're at work, going out with friends, or simply in case of unexpected emergencies, it is always important to have someone you can count on. For many parents, that trusty babysitter is often a teenager who is looking for a way to make some money, and watching kids while they usually sleep seems like an easy way to do so. But it is crucial to remember that thos…

There are a lot of mixed opinions on which passenger is in the wrong here. You know that amazing feeling when you find out the seat next to you on a plane is empty, giving you more space? That's what happened to this man when he was flying with his wife. He was happy to learn that the aisle seat of their row was open, so he moved from the middle seat so they could have more room. They were sitting like this for five hours of their eight-hour flight when a woman from a few rows back demanded the…

Imagine what would happen if you just showed up to the airport without reading the rules . In current year, there are an absurd amount of really specific airport rules that every passenger has to follow. Your carry-on luggage and checked luggage each have weight limits and have to be under a certain dimension. For carry-on luggage, it's got to fit under the seat in front of you. Then there's the issue of liquids, which all have to get smushed into one quart-sized bag. There are things you can a…

Trying to mess with an employee's time off is a risky game. These bosses claimed that they understood when their employee requested to have Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off because of extreme burnout. Not only did these two supervisors deny the request, but also they tried to get this guy to cover an extra shift. It was as if the entire burnout conversation went in one ear and out the other, as if it did not matter. When the Redditor tried to reason with his supervisors, he had mentioned his…

One customer has a trick for getting free movie theater treats, and you're not going to like it one bit. I wish I'd never heard of such a foul life hack. But here we are. There are plenty of ways to sneak food into movie theaters . In fact, as some older generations have pointed out in discussions of the topic, theaters used to actually police what you brought in. They used to make you throw out the candy stuffed into your mom's purse. These days, the employees mainly check bags for safety purp…

It's always baffling when a house guest decides they can boss their host around. It takes a specific kind of entitled Karen-level audacity to suddenly act like you make the rules in a space that is clearly not yours. Well, this lady would come to regret trying to assert her authority in her friend's space. She started to criticize practically every choice her friend's partner made when it came time to serve their spaghetti dinner, a meal she did not make by the way. She insisted on using a “pro…

Just because you have a degree doesn't make you smart, and that is pretty obvious when you take a close look at people who have graduated from college. Let's talk about school. A student's quick thinking saved the day when his school's computers encountered a recurring shutdown issue. The school relied on a program that reset changes after logout, requiring students to save work on the server. But a licensing issue caused the PCs to shut down after 20 minutes, deleting unsaved work and frustrat…

“It’s very fun and I’m not gonna stop lol.”

This worker got a little taste of power and went completely overboard. While some workplaces have clearly defined roles for every employee , a lot of places ask employees to wear many different hats. So, much like u/Jenny8765309, there's no way to politely say, “That's not my job,” when someone asks you to do something that's most definitely not your responsibility. It's even harder when the person who's constantly asking for favors is in a position of power over you. This worker shared the sto…

You know those little trail mix types of snacks that they hand out on airlines? Those ones that come in an impossibly small bag, and are only good for a couple of bites and by no means are a substitute for the meal you're probably missing during the flight. They usually hand these things out just after takeoff while you're still trying to calm your nerves that are (rightfully) frayed having your body propelled unnaturally at 500+ MPH into the sky. Strangely enough, that ridiculously small porti…

Would the world be a better place if we all simply said what is on our minds without worrying about the repercussions? The truthful answer is that probably not, but we all sure would love to have the opportunity to speak up on matters that we usually stay silent about. For instance, how we truly feel about our employers and the way they treat their employees. When an employee decides to quit their job, however, they get the rare opportunity to tell their managers how they really feel about them…

Sometimes, teenagers don't even need to disobey their parents in order to show them just how ridiculous they are acting. In this case, we have a ridiculous stepmother who decided to chastise the Redditor for driving to his friend's place briefly to show off his brand new driver's license. It's the kind of accomplishment you want to relay to your friends. This isn't just another “teenagers being silly" story; this is a case of “give the kid a break.” Unfortunately, the stepmom from down below de…

Never underestimate the impact of a diligent but disgruntled worker. Having said that, what would you do if, after working hard for a few hours, the person tasked with paying your bills came back and made a crude comment about how bad your job was and how you didn't even deserve the minimum wage? The following story tells the tale of a resentful painter. The original poster (OP) claims that he exacted revenge on a client in the 1990s who didn't appreciate his commitment to excellence or the ext…

When you actually like the place you work and can tolerate the people you work with, it's easy to reason that going into an office once in a while might present some benefit. But if you're being forced to go into an office where no one talks to each other (except under duress) just to do all of your work alone in an isolated room and all your meetings over Zoom anyway… It's easy to scratch your head and wonder what the point of all this really is. This worker shared how their employer made the…
