‘You can't sit down’: Owner throws out all chairs in store so employees can't sit down during break time, owner keeps one chair for himself, refuses to let employees sit on it

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the owner of this store decided that his situation was deserving of frantic action.

OP found one available chair at the back of the store with a sign stuck on it, ‘not for employee use’. OP was astounded, as th…

'Scams don't work on me': Marketplace scammer gets called out, apologizes, asks the target for money

If, at first, you don't succeed… tell a sob story and beg your target for cash instead. This is the scammer's creed—at the first sign of their scam going sideways, they'll crumple like paper and resort to tearful begging instead. That, or get overwhelmingly aggressive. The begging is really just the continuation of the same initial scam, and just because you were wary and caught them out on the initial attempt doesn't mean you won't be suckered in by the crocodile tears that follow.

'[Am I the jerk] for getting a dog': Family orders adult woman to get rid of her pet dog because her brother is allergic

Growing up, it's important to listen to your parents. Generally, they have a lot of insight and experience that you lack at this point in your life—plus a healthy dose of resulting cynicism. Once you've graduated from their care and have your own place, you get to live your life on your own terms, free to make your own mistakes and live your own life—which often ends with you constantly asking them for advice anyways. We value our parents and their advice, but some parents have trouble letting…

Working in the hospitality industry is painfully awkward at times, and oftentimes leaves you with a bitter aftertaste, pining for a vacation that would preferably last over a year.

In this case, a Karen approached OP when they were working Night Audit at a busy hotel, demanding to be checked in immediately, rolling her eyes at OP in the process. OP knew right away that something was off, and asked for Karen's full name a…

'I couldn't allow this poor kid to be punished for her actions, so I spoke up': Pokémon retailer rescues kid getting unjustly reprimanded by boomer mom

If you have ever been a kid in love with something then you know how it feels like the end of the world when someone yells at you about it.

'She straight up called a tow company to tow seven cars': Karen tries to tow other hotel guest's cars

What would you do to get your preferred parking space? Some might say that towing seven cars is a little extreme—whether or not those cars are technically supposed to be parked there. This is especially the case when you're just a guest staying at a hotel and in no way have a stake in said hotel. This Karen took issue with the fact that there were a bunch of non-electric cars parked in the electric car parking spaces, but parking at the location was extremely limited, so it was essential that a…
