Karen attempts to get free desserts from local bakers by constantly complaining about their quality, they ban her from their bakery in response: ‘Sorry, our business is now closed to you’

How are there people who still think that acting selfishly and entitled will get them further than acting kind and patient? All it takes is a minimum understanding of human interaction to realize that people would react much better to others being nice to them instead of being mean. When it comes to interaction with someone who is supposed to provide you with a service of some kind, these statements go a long way.

Pretentious new hire publicly accuses coworker of excluding her after he declines to ride with her to work dinner, causing her to skip it: 'I told her she excluded herself'

Office drama really hits differently when it's the new hire stirring the pot. In this story, we've got a pretentious new hire who thinks the world revolves around her . And when it doesn't, she makes sure everyone hears about it. She asked a coworker to ride with her to a celebratory work dinner because, apparently, driving alone is just too much for her. (It makes you wonder how she manages to commute every day, doesn't it?) The coworker, who already had plans to ride with someone else, polite…

'It finally happened': Outraged woman calls out doctor's office for asking her to leave a tip

Tipping culture these days has gotten... a little out of hand, hasn't it? It feels like someone's asking for a tip everywhere you turn—whether it's your barista, the takeout app, or even the self-checkout machine at the grocery store. And it's not just about the ask. It's the guilt. That little screen that pops up after you pay, staring at you, daring you to pick anything less than 20%, even if you just ordered a single donut. Sure, tipping for good service is a no-brainer. We want to support...

'She's one of those super aggressive types that wants to be CEO before she is 45': Gen X employee gets revenge on overbearing boss by scheduling emails to send all throughout the night

To be fair, this boss had it coming. The concept of 'work-life balance' is becoming increasingly normalized throughout the workforce, as it should. No one wants to spend their entire lives planning around their jobs. And although that used to be the case in generations past, nowadays, employees don't stand for mistreatment; instead, they just leave. Well, this Gen X employee can't really leave the company. He's been there for years and is nearing his retirement. So, instead of up and quitting,…

Entire Department Attends Employee's Wedding Except One, Bride Claims She Couldn’t Make It, Coworker Reveals at Meeting That She Wasn't Invited: 'I could see the brides face visibly change'

When you are planning a wedding, finalizing the guest list can seem like an impossible task. As much as you'd like to invite everyone you can, financially, your bank account might not allow that. And then there are all of the plus ones, too. You can't deny every guest a plus one, even if you don't really know their date. It's customary, even though no one wants to spend their big day with people whom they don't know or want to be there. But what this entitled bride did was next level.

'How could you not foresee this?': Manager forbids security guard from letting visitors enter office without his approval, guard complies, causing manager to miss important meeting when he fails to answer his phone

Some people simply don't have common sense, or even the smallest ability to predict the consequences of their absurd decisions and actions. Unfortunately, a lot of those people end up in high management positions. That means that anyone who has to answer to those managers, sometimes has to comply with unreasonable demands they know would end in disaster, but there is not much they can do about it.
