Some passengers think they can pull a fast one on flight attendants, but oh, how wrong can they be? This male Karen in economy insisted on having the higher quality vegetarian meal after hearing that the economy option was sold out. Now, the flight attendant remembered that he was eating bacon chips just 30 minutes prior, which clearly, the male Karen had not considered before trying to get away with his silly plan. However, instead of flat-out denying him service, the flight attendant maliciou…

"Draw pictures and illustrations and have her count out the number of apples and bananas."

Nobody likes an HOA–except, of course, the overinflated, pompous, self-elected members. So when independent homeowners finally claw themselves out of an HOA dictatorship of a neighborhood, the quasiHOA vibes of an unruly neighborhood Karen can certainly rub them the wrong way.

"An intern “failing” at ANY task is not a failure of the intern, it’s a failure of the leadership of the organization."

Defining an employee's core responsibilities is a key and careful task that can backfire or protect you depending on the situation. Here , we have an employee who occasionally covered for two of his coworkers if they were off at the same time and had brought up to their boss that he was the only person at work who was capable of doing so simultaneously. This helped the employee when he was negotiating a raise, but after the raise, his boss told him that he should focus on his core responsibilit…

Apparently, some workplaces are so out of touch with their employees that they sometimes fail to notice when employees leave for a vacation and never return to work. How do these workplaces deal with this situation, you ask? They ‘freeze’ every employee's pay once they go on vacation, until said employee returns and declares to HR they are back to work. This means that if you came back to work after a vacation, and weren't aware that you had to call HR and tell them personally that you were bac…

It's surprising and disappointing sometimes the disrespect and disregard people have for their spouses when relationships are supposed to be built on respect and support. We're talking about someone who is supposed to be your other half, so it makes sense that responsibilities be split and handled as if that were the case—where capable and able. We're all only human, and our lives and their requirements are changing all the time, so we're not going to get it right all the time, but that's where…

Sometimes just quitting isn't enough. If you have been working in an unfair, unjust, and just all around unprofessional work environment for a long time, merely saying “Sayonara” isn't going to give you the satisfactory exit you deserve.

It's commonly believed that it's improper to mix business and pleasure. However, what would you say if, after all of your effort, your sibling refused to compensate you for your labor and time? The story below is an account of a frustrated brother. For a living, the original poster (OP) remodels houses. So when his brother asked whether he would be willing to refurbish his house, he immediately said yes. OP even gave his brother a discount in exchange for his devotion and good name. However, th…

When doing something that is considered good for other people, it is often not just about the act itself, but about the intentions behind it. If all you care about is what you gain out of your good deed, then is it really a good deed at all? Yet, does it have to be pure of any selfish intention for it to have a positive effect on someone else? When someone decides to donate some of their clothes to charity, their intentions are usually a mix of selfish and selfless. They seek a way to get rid o…

Why is the interview process so unnecessarily drawn out these days? If you get to the point of an interview, it should not take long for a recruiter to understand if your resume, cover letter, and initial application match well with the actual person interviewing. It should also not take long to see if it's a “personality fit.” In other words, cards should be on the table from the get-go and that goes both ways. This means that salary expectations and benefits should be clearly explained before…

Every person who grew up with siblings knows that parents always have favorites. They can deny it as much as they want, and try to hide it so the kids would not be able to tell, but unfortunately, kids are always able to tell. However, there is a big difference between parents having a favorite child and parents playing favorites between the children. It is somewhat understandable that parents care for one kid more than the other, but it is absolutely not understandable when they act on it clea…

This bad-mouthing Betty might think twice before disrespecting anyone in the workplace

Since the separation, the Original Poster (OP) had been attending a different church and started dating someone new. Still, many of his close friends were still members of his previous church, where his wife was still very m…

Getting caught in between the demands of different authority figures within the same company is not always easy to navigate. Not only are you catering to the needs and requests of your direct supervisor, but now you have found yourself having to cater to the whims of the person who signs your paycheck and your micromanager's paycheck. That is the conundrum that this Redditor found himself in and it triggered a lot of insecurity from his direct manager, who insisted on getting an extensive updat…

"What happens now is that for the last 3 months I’ve been doing her dirty laundry, and she had the audacity to ask me to wash her clothes in the sink with a natural soap because my machine is giving her allergies according to her."
