Whenever one hears about a story that features a Karen, it often makes you wonder how these people go about their day, and who are the unfortunate souls that have to deal with them on a daily basis. Most Karens usually have husbands and kids, and they surely are aware of how she behaves in public. So how do they deal with her? Are they just as crazy, or do they know how to calm her down and make her see reason? This Reddit story answers these questions for at least one Karen, and boy were the a…

No, sir, that is not what the tipping jar is for… This entitled male Karen insisted on paying in cash despite not having enough change to pay for his $5.05 ice cream order. So instead of switching to a larger bill, a credit card, or a cancellation of the order, he decided to reach into the tip jar and pull out a nickel. Sure, it was just a nickel and it happened so fast for the store employee that there wasn't much use in stirring up a fuss. Still, it's the principle of the matter. Shoutout to…

Although there should definitely be a law against it, in some countries, an unpaid ‘trial shift’ is an accepted way for employers to examine their candidates' abilities. While it is understandable that this is a good way to test if a candidate has the required skills for the job, it is still unlawful to then not pay those who don't get the job. Besides, knowing that this type of action is legal, must mean that many workplaces take advantage of that and bring people in to work for free when they…

Millennial manager with Gen Z staff >>>>>>

There's nothing more infuriating than being stuck in traffic or otherwise stuck in some other horde of slow-moving masses of people. It's claustrophobia inducing and defies your internal logic: you could and should be able to get where you're going faster than this so why can't everyone just get out of your way? Why is everyone else going to the same place at the same time you are? This, of course, is a selfish way to think and act, and most of us know this even when we find ourselves getting f…

Make sure to read those online reviews before you book a hotel . It might save you some time and money! Or, like these people below, it might spare you the myriad issues that can occur in a hotel, from bedbugs to awful breakfast menus. I feel for the staffers at the “pool room” hotel (see #2). As you can see in the photo, there's a pool table on top of what looks like a covered-up swimming pool. The staffers must constantly have angry guests yelling about the pool room not having a pool. They c…

Using an ex's discount for two entire years without their knowledge is perhaps the best kind of revenge. Firstly, it's quiet. Secondly, no one is getting hurt. Finally, not only are you getting the emotional fulfillment and satisfaction of achieving payback, but you're also spending less money in the process. If that's not a two-for-one situation, I don't know what is. Here , we have a lady who frequently drives her step-kids to and from her husband's ex-wife's town to take them to school. The…

This boss is quite literally not the brightest bulb. He seems like the kind of person who cuts costs at every possible moment, which as you can imagine, is not making the employees very happy. A lot of workplaces operate on a tight budget, but some managers take this way too seriously. They'll either say there's no money to fix workplace issues , or they'll wait until the issue can no longer be ignored before they finally decide it's worth looking into. This person, u/MillyHughes, shared that t…

Never mess with an engineer! Having an engineer for a neighbor can be very useful in the right circumstances, but if you manage to frustrate them, things can backfire in unexpected ways. Here, we have a retired father who confessed to his kid about all the acts of petty revenge he has enacted on his difficult, noisy neighbors next door after they started hosting loud pool parties on weeknights regularly. Some of this pettiness ranges from launching debris over the property line to planting tree…

We're all going to make mistakes in the course of our lives, but it's pretty safe to say that we'd all hope that our mistakes not be immediately able to be quantified by a dollar value on a price tag directly attached to our error—and certainly not one equating to many (many) thousands of dollars. Still, usually when your superiors are the ones making a mistake like this, it's not often it works out in your favor, the typical response is for them to bury their heads further in the sand and cont…

“It looks like retaliation for whistleblowing.”

This person made a bold choice while on the job , and it's shocking that they weren't fired over it. If you've ever been at a job that's strung you along as you wait for a raise or a promotion, you know what an awkward situation it can become. Instead of just focusing on your job, you have to spend time trying to get HR or your boss to give you updates about your salary. You don't want to push so hard that you seem impolite or get fired, but you can't just let them push you around forever! This…

Unless you work directly under the company's actual CEO, it is always helpful to remember that even your boss has someone to answer to. It is quite comforting to know that if something unlawful or even unfair happens with your boss, there is always someone you can turn to. The person who wrote this Reddit story definitely remembered this piece of information, and used it, when they felt like their boss was doing something they should not be doing. OP (original poster), got this performance revi…

“I'm angry with myself for going against my gut and what I originally wanted to do because now we are priced out of that area…”

What a silly idea for this dude to damage his neighbor's car and then have the audacity to ask for favors! That's right. After refusing to take the blame for clearly causing damage to this Redditor's car, the dude next door went on an extended outdoorsy vacation and asked for the Redditor to watch his home because he was the only person to be trusted. Well, as it turns out, that was a major lapse in judgment. While the neighbor was gone, there was a huge storm and the neighbor was impossible to…

“Be an utterly unethical thorn in [the HOA's] side which can never be removed or retaliated against. I'm not locked in with them; they're locked in with me.”
