Karens infiltrate slowly into virtuous neighborhoods with a heavy sense of entitlement, ignoring HOA bylaws, under the assumption that they are divinely above it all. In this case, OP had a couple of parking spots that were legally his, that were occasionally empty. Whether they were occupied or not, OP's new neighbors took advantage of the Australian law which was lacking in the car parking department, and decidedly parked their own cars in those spots. They also began inviting family, friends…

Pokemon cards are something that, at this point, are loved by kids and adults everywhere. As the original Pokemon has aged into adulthood, we've continued to share that joy with the youngsters. Of course, there are always going to be people who, thinking they're clever, seek to turn a profit off of the altruism of others, disguising their wants as needs and playing the victim card whenever possible to try and guilt trip people into giving them things beyond their better judgment. This must work…

These people had jokes and great advice of what to do and not do while you're young. If you are young, take notes! Being in your 20s is a wild ride. You're a teenager for a long time, then suddenly, you're out in the real world, getting a job, getting married, having kids… or just watching as your friends and colleagues do those things. While you might be the same age as your friend group, suddenly you all have different responsibilities in life. There's also just a lot of freedom in your 20s.…

Genius managers are a dime a dozen, and those in head office have a particular knack for annihilating systems that work, attempting to 'better the work environment' for ego's sake. Brilliant ideas range from inefficient procedures, changing working hours, or introducing a new, uncomfortable uniform that doesn't suit the 'work environment' they're trying so hard to fix. In this case, OP was working in an industry that they claim is logically equivalent to the warehouse industry. OP mainly did ad…

You can't have your cake and eat it too—and the people who work for you are people, not cake. I don't really know exactly how to unpack that statement further… but let's just say that you shouldn't be surprised when your workers want greater compensation in exchange for the increased responsibility you've been giving them. If they're doing the job of a manager already, make them a bloody manager. The amount of hoops that retailers want their employees to jump through in order to achieve a promo…

There are some bosses in this world who decide when things are personal and when it's “just business” whenever the situation is convenient for them. That seems to be the case with this toxic supervisor, who did not take his employee's resignation well at all. In fact, he claimed to have found out about her accepting a competitive offer a few weeks ago. and threw shade at how she waited to inform him of her resignation until after she collected her bonus. Dude, that's what anyone would have done…

One mom did not hold back while demanding swimming lessons for her son - for free.

Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got ‘till it’s gone? All too often, we see stories like this where employers

There are glorious times in customer service when doing what the customer has asked necessitates doing technically nothing. It's a rare occurrence but oh-so-good when it happens to chance upon you. When this worker promised to give an angry Karen a refund, they did so by promising to refund the amount that it would cost them to park on the street: Nothing. This left the Karen happy to go merrily on their way, and with the problem now out of sight and out of mind, she was never the wiser. It's g…

Well smack my grits and call me gravy—these memes are the yeehaw-est!

The honking of one's horn is a divisive subject; either you're someone who uses their horn frequently and liberally, or your car might as well not have had one installed in the first place. In my view, the horn is there for a reason: to make sure others are aware of your presence if you're concerned they're not already or to make them aware that the traffic light turned green ten seconds ago. Don't get me wrong; there is a multitude of ways that people abuse and misuse it—protecting your fragil…

A disagreement over cupcakes is tearing these two friends apart. Baking cupcakes and cakes for a living is one of those dream jobs that sounds super fun, and is actually a very lot of work. Unless you see behind the scenes, as a customer, you just can't understand what goes into creating professional baked goods . Many bakers do post behind the scenes videos on their social media pages, and it's incredible the amount of skill and technique necessary for these desserts . Some bakers use premium…

Ah, the homes we come across on Zillow...

The days of office spaces decked out with personal photos, tchotchkes, books, and scattered papers are gone. In today's modern officeplace , lots of people just use their laptops. There's no need to have stacks of papers to go through when you do all your work digitally. And most office workers communicate through instant messaging or email, so you can ditch that cup of pens and paper clips. For this employee, however, their boss actually had an issue with the books they brought to read while o…

There's nothing worse than being stuck next to a crying baby on a plane. Obviously, being an adult, you're supposed to apparently just turn your ears off for however long your flight is, enduring the screeching screams of the wailing infant next to you– they're the one that's uncomfortable, okay? Of course, they can't help it, they're just a baby and without a doubt, their sleep-deprived parent is counting down the seconds until the end of the flight just as much as you are.

Some people just want to make a scene.
