Want to have a good laugh about a shady company getting its comeuppance? Then, boy, did we find the story for you! There's no laugh quite as hearty as one you have reading about a nefarious upper management getting what they deserve. This upper management team started going downhill when a new president was hired . A members-funded woodwork shop in Australia had a very expensive piece of machinery that nobody knew how to use. A couple of employees took it upon themselves to learn and fix up thi…

Money is never an easy subject to bring up within a family. No matter how close you are to your parents or siblings, talking about salaries, inheritances, or wills will always be awkward. That is why I think as parents, you have to be sensible and honest if you end up in a spot where you have to bring these subjects up. Do not try to sugarcoat anything, but talk to your kids like the adults they probably are. That is the advice I would personally give this person who turned to Reddit for advice…

This one goes out to people who are trying to put themselves out there this year! It's not easy to get on the apps and start swiping, especially when the other singletons on said apps are ridiculous humans who need to be called out on their nonsensical behavior. From people who are strangely into the fact that their potential date has other single roommates to folks who boldly acknowledge that their love language is “manipulation in all its forms,” the wild world of Tinder has continued to main…

Stores with ridiculous policies are practically begging for drama. The only thing worse in a retail conflict than an entitled customer is a manager on a power trip. Most of the time when you find yourself in a situation like this, you roll your eyes and accept the bogus policy, but every once in a while, you just cannot bring yourself to go along with such nonsense. That's when these managers need to be careful because this is perhaps the only time when irate customers are justified in trying t…

Have you ever seen the classic Julia Roberts film Pretty Woman ? Remember the scene where she walks into a fancy retail shop and the women refuse to serve her because they thought she looked too poor, but then got hooked up by Richard Gere's character? Then she went back to that store and told them they made a big “HUGE" mistake. Well, that is what happened here but in real life and with an entitled realtor instead of retail workers.

Renting a house from a third party has benefits and drawbacks. Of course, maintenance is one of the apparent benefits, but no matter how lovely or cozy the apartment is, the drawbacks, depending on how severe they are, can make or break a transaction. In the story below, OP is working at the job of his dreams. His employer has ensured that he would be as comfortable as possible in his new role by arranging for the necessary accommodations beforehand. Theoretically, everything could not have gon…

As every retail employee knows, shoppers change their persona when they walk into a store. Nobody knows how or why, but even the most benevolent people can transform into feral Karens as soon as they walk in front of a store cashier, pillaging the aisles like there's no tomorrow.

After being a part of a close-knit social circle for some time, one of the friends within the group began showing some problematic behavior. Over time, this so-called friend's behavior continued to deteriorate and spiral out of control. What started innocently enough with him 'borrowing' money from some friends and failing to pay them back evolved into outright stealing. Even though he repeatedly denied it, the friends knew that this guy who called himself a businessman actually...

Imagine getting a job offer and going to sign the paperwork to make it official, only to learn that your new bosses changed their minds. Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. It's not exactly that they changed their minds, but it's more that they didn't exactly review the availability you put down on your initial application carefully enough. Clearly, they wanted someone with full-time availability for a part-time position, a classic move from employers who have no moral code. This threa…

Perhaps everyone should have made their resolutions this year to be kinder to their servers and bartenders. If you're not part of the problem but you are witnessing a Karen customer throwing a tantrum for no good reason, perhaps you should consider stepping in and defending the people who have been on their feet for multiple hours and are just trying to get you your food and drinks the way you ordered them. No one is trying to mess up, and so much of what goes on in a bar or restaurant is outsi…

It's no secret that teachers are underpaid, so why should they be expected to contribute to their principal's retirement gift? That certainly sounds like something the school board, parents, or alumni associations should be involved in, not the instructors who are already pressured to shell out extra money for the adequate resources their schools do not properly provide to their students. Thankfully, this Redditor had enough sense to reject the completely arbitrary notion that she needed to con…

Working the phones in any job is not usually a very good time, but working the phones for insurance claims seems to be notorious for getting the worst of the Karen and male-Karen customers…

It doesn't matter what your work environment is… there will always be some of the same personalities when it comes to one's coworkers. There's the person who is so optimistic it's annoying. There's the person who is always cold. There's the person who is always hot. There's the office flirt. There's the one who never gets anything done. There's the one who pretends they are your boss when they're your equal. I could go on… These top coworker stories address some of the common coworker caricatur…

This form of revenge was not only petty, but it was also knotty. Sometimes, when you're in a public performance setting like a movie theater or a play, people are unintentionally disruptive and annoying in a way that can ruin the whole experience for others. We know this phenomenon all too well, from the folks who text after they have been told to silence their cell phones to the people who have absolutely no concept of personal space. Like it or not, there are unspoken rules of how to behave i…

One would think that doing a little research would be necessary before threatening to change companies for an important service, but the Karens of the world are not always inclined to think before they speak. This kind of behavior takes me back to my early days in the workforce when I was working in a freelance, client-based position and would have to deal with the occasional difficult client who enjoyed picking fights and threatening to work with someone else. The truth is it did not take long…

You apply to college, are accepted, graduate, and then you apply and land your ideal job. You have worked your entire life for this moment, and everything appears to be going smoothly, but everything changes when you meet your manager. Everybody has had a horrible management experience once or twice in their life, and if we are being really honest with ourselves, the reason we quit our jobs was because we could not bear to be under such incompetent managers' control any longer. The following st…
