Every business has a different hierarchical structure that is exclusive to it. The account provided in the story below comes from a former student. The original poster (OP) was a university student majoring in English. During her time as a student, she launched the department newsletter and helped with the editing and publication of the annual literary journal. She significantly improved the newsletter and the magazine, but since she was still viewed as a junior editor, she was expected to perf…

Rural landownership can cost a pretty penny when unnatural water features fall into disrepair

This employee is living the dream: they got out of work, and they also got to be a little sarcastic towards their boss. What a delightful combination! This person shared a story that happened when they were working at a grocery store, and the assured people that it was “by far the worst job I've ever had.” They write that there were a few rules that always had to be abided by, and if not, it would result in a writeup. No matter how silly the rules might seem, they're there for a reason, and man…

Having a guest in your house can easily feel like a boundary has been crossed, but these house guests really overstayed their welcome. Some of them violated clearly defined rules and regulations, while others made the kinds of unfathomable choices that no host could have predicted. These stories range from entitled mothers-in-law (yes, there were multiple anecdotes about in-laws) who rearranged the kitchen cabinet without permission to visitors who used the laundry machines far too many times u…

This guy kept trying to help his neighbor out , but the neighbor just couldn't accept it. When there's a bad storm coming to your area, you already know the drill. You make sure the windows are shut, bring in your flags or delicate decorations, and maybe check the gutter to make sure it's not too clogged with leaves. Even so, some people still experience terrible flooding on the regular, no matter what they do to try and stop it. When those gallons of water start rushing in, it's hard to stop,…

Imagine your boss having this amount of entitlement and audacity to claim that they deserve your first class upgrade. This employee , unfortunately, found themselves on the same flight as their boss after a business trip. The two were originally meant to be seated together, until the employee received a first class upgrade because, although the company booked the original ticket, the employee often flies with this airline and uses their credit card. However, that was not enough of an explanatio…

Everyone wants to know what tricks they can use to try and rig the system, especially if it means they can save money. It doesn't matter who is on the other side of that exchange, as long as you come out better on the other side, right? Well, no. As fun as it can be to find little ways to “save” money, there is a clear line between using acceptable little tricks to spend less money or get better deals, and actually lying and cheating others. The hotel guest in this Reddit story tried to rig the…

Patience is a virtue.

Customer service workers , you're doing the world a favor every time you politely answer the silliest question you've ever heard. They won't train you for this in most customer-facing roles. You think that customers will more or less know what's going on… but that's not the case. In fact, it seems like many jobs just require the worker to answer the same customer questions over and over and over. Some customers are special, though. They're so confused that their questions make the workers pause…

When it comes to working from home or working in the office, a lot of employers insist that their staff work from the office—even when they could easily do their tasks from home. Especially when their work involves handling sensitive information which means the devices need to be kept safe and secure. Still, what constitutes “sensitive” is a grey area and when you're a middle manager of a retail operation there's probably a good chance that the information you're handling really isn't all that…

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could pa…

On February 1st, 2015, for just over 12 and a half minutes, more than 114 million viewers tuned in to what became the second-most-watched television program in the history of the United States at that time. The program had nothing to do with an election, nor was it a national emergency or historic breakthrough—unless you, like us, consider ‘Left Shark’ to be of national cultural significance. Wherever you stand on 'Left Shark' (probably to the left), it remains a fact that 114.4 million America…

Are you available 25 hours every day?

Who doesn't love a good instant karma story? Especially when it's a couple of entitled people who have no concern for others around them. A pair of Karen's, if you will. This entitled couple was waiting in line for airport security. According to the Original Poster (OP), the line wasn't too long, but there was only one employee checking every single person, causing the line to go dreadfully slow. Unfortunately for the OP, he was standing in front of the entitled couple. Every time the line mo...

Every food worker has that one Karen story that they love to tell. While working in fast food service, employees are bound to encounter crabby customers daily. Customers show up at their hungriest, ready to eat ASAP. They often won't bother being polite to the employees, and if their food takes more than a minute or two, they'll start loudly complaining to everyone in earshot about it. Other people will get their food, but insist it just “isn't quite right.” Maybe they insist their fries are co…

Who doesn't love a painfully accurate starter pack meme? Sometimes, there is simply no better way to describe a common trope among human beings. You could be describing that kid in high school who asks a question when there are two minutes left of class. You could be describing the entitled parent in your neighborhood who seems to think their kid is the greatest gift to the universe. The key to a quality starter pack meme is a level of perceptiveness regarding the commonalities, the details, an…
