'I do not want to give my bike to your spoiled child': Entitled Karen demands a teen to give his bike to her kid; teen holds his ground even when Karen tries to steal it

'I do not want to give my bike to your spoiled child': Entitled Karen demands teen give his bike to her kid; teen holds his ground when Karen tries stealing it

In a busy apartment complex, a 14-year-old boy who loved riding his bike found himself in a weird situation. As he was cruising through the buildings, another kid spotted his bike and immediately wanted it. The other kid started with an innocent compliment, but things got worse when his entitled mom, who we'll call Karen (of course), showed up and demanded the teen give up his bike because her kid was younger.

'Never threaten to take away my cats': Rich trust fund baby forced to dish over $87k after treating ex like trash and attempting to take everything during the breakup

This one's a doozy, but well worth the read! In short, it is an epic story of justice being brought upon an affluent villainous ex. Couples thinking they'll be at least civil with each other forever no matter, but then it turning toxic at the end is a tale as old as time. When you're in the thralls of love and romance, you never think that one day you two will end up hating each other. It's heartbreaking, but that's why it's called… Well, heartbreak. In this case, this couple bought a house tog…

'Every time he called... the call was recorded': Contractor loses thousands of dollars to construction company, then takes a different job with them and plays the long game

'Every time he called... the call was recorded': Contractor loses thousands of dollars to construction company, then takes a different job with them and plays the long game

Taking a peek into the life of a contractor as he works to build a restaurant is so interesting. If you don't work as a contractor, you'd have no idea what goes on while people are building a restaurant. By reading this story, you get a good insight into the process: for example, it's not just one group of people who are in charge. Instead, there is a general contractor who is responsible for managing subcontractors who work under the GC's supervision. There might be one person who's in charge…

'[Boss] started screaming like a petulant child': Tech worker poached by rival dealer, worker gives boss the opportunity to match the offer, boss loses it

Here's a friendly reminder that giving two weeks' notice is a courtesy, not a requirement. And if you are met with anger or resistance or any unwanted tension from your employer during those final two weeks, you have absolutely no obligation to stay. This tech worker at a dealer learned that the hard way after being poached by a rival dealer. He was fully transparent to his boss that if the other owner accepted his asking wage, he would consider it but would give his current boss the opportunit…

'Just run the ad exactly as I wrote it': Local newspaper agrees to run man's advertisement as-is, costs the customer a job

One newspaper editor shared a very funny story that occurred at their workplace. It's one of those times where someone wanted to procure a service… but then he declared that he knew how to be a better copyeditor than the literal editors at the paper. This kind of schadenfreude is so satisfying to witness, especially in a career like writing, which is often underappreciated. Lots of people think that writing is easy or fast, and that makes them think anyone can do it. Not everyone can write well…

Update: 'Clearly this woman is full of Christmas spirit': Karen demands a particular Christmas carol every year, choir director refuses

It comes as no surprise that the entitled Karens of the world even find a way to take issue with the Christmas carol choices that a local choir plans to sing. There always has to be something, right? This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/wa_geng , who pointed out that the same woman threw the same exact tantrum last Christmas. So OP and her friends got a kick out of the fact that this Karen had been stewing for over a year because she didn't get what she wanted. And…

'You won't mess with my team': IT manager skillfully meets the vice president's demands for his team to come in on their day off

Vice presidents are hard pills to swallow. They assume that the sun rises and sets at their demand. However, sometimes you find a rose in a thornbush... such as this legend of a manager who wouldn't let his team be bossed around by the VP's silly demands. I feel obligated to share this inspirational story of an IT manager who bravely resisted the awful vice president's effort to pilfer the Fourth of July. The VP is determined that her time is more important than the IT team's combined total. Bu…

'You reap what you sow': Basketball players go on a massive winning streak after one player quits team on a whim, claiming team was 'holding him back'

Well, well, look what the cat dragged in… A person who got instant karma and regretted leaving a basketball team that he was so adamant about putting down when he was a part of it. No, you will not be rejoining a winning team that has been doing much better since you left, thanks. Basketball was my favorite game during my teenage years. I was only playing for fun at the time because I was way too short to make it onto a team anyway. But I remember how satisfying the feeling was when the ball ac…

'We will never return': Waiter gets the chance to reply to Karen's one-star review about them

Some people want to be food critics with their reviews, but this person took it further by writing a very long message directly to a restaurant. When I worked retail, I always found it so delightful when customers would vow to never return to our restaurant. It was often that they'd come in during a rush, and then were shocked, stunned, and horrified, that they'd have to wait a whole 15 minutes for their meal. Bigger problems are going on in the world. But not to these people. Sometimes they'd…

'I won't leave this store until I get my refund': Customer faced with strict returns policy, finds a way to get full refund

Anyone who ever worked in retail knows how frustrating it is to have to explain to a customer the policy of the store and what they can or cannot do if they want to return an item. I once had a 30-minute conversation with a guy who wanted to return an item that was bought in a completely different store, and he simply did not accept ‘no’ for an answer. Being on the other side of the counter is no fun either. I can't tell you how much accumulated random stuff I have in my house simply because a…

'[I] was immediately laid off when the app was complete': Development team gets gutted by new owner as soon as they deliver new app

What do you do when your company, nay—industry—regards employment not as an ongoing arrangement but as a mere rental of skilled labor? Sending you packing as soon as your position has served its most immediate purpose. In truth, it seems short-sighted since, when it comes to programming and development, there will always be a need for ongoing troubleshooting, updates, and improvements—who better to do that than the person who wrote the original program?

''Some professors really shouldn't teach': Student gets bad grade on midterm because teacher made him rush, cue malicious compliance for the final

Students are not always the primary reason for getting poor grades. Sometimes, it can be stifling extracurricular commitments, overbearing parents, absent parents, a lack of access to proper resources and technology, etc. But sometimes the reason is even simpler. Sometimes, it's just the teacher. This could be the result of a professor doing a subpar job giving lessons or failing to give students a proper understanding of the course material prior to assessing them. In this case, the professor'…

Fresh-faced college kids are willing to put up with a lot in the workplace. Desperate to find that shiny job they were promised would pay off their student loans within the year, they'll usually start with a scrutinous eye for the golden entry-level job of their dreams. Quickly, they realize it's harder than it seems to find a half-decent job.

We've all heard horrifying tales of CEO's hiding from the workforce in their ivory tower, hailing gratitude from above as if money grows on trees. Out-of-touch 1%ers have a knack for rubbing the working class the wrong way and as history would prove, when people get desperate enough in the gutters, they'll have nothing to lose when it comes to an uprising.
