Karen customer gets a taste of her own medicine at the burger drive thru: 'Hold on a second PLEASE!'

Karen customer gets a taste of her own medicine at the burger drive thru: 'Hold on a second PLEASE!'

Many entitled people walk through life thinking they're the main character of the universe without a single person calling them out on their nonsense. Sure, dealing with entitled people is a difficult endeavor. Why would you want to put yourself through that? Well, the truth of the matter is that it's better for humanity at large to knock these folks down a peg and remind them that they are in no way better than the rest of us. So with that in mind, it comes as no surprise to us that the local…

‘If you think you can find a loophole, think again’: Software developer maliciously complies with new boss’s strict 9-5 hours, team productivity tanks

‘If you think you can find a loophole, think again’: Software developer maliciously complies with new boss’s strict 9-5 hours, team productivity tanks

Who doesn't love when a manager's strict and unnecessary rules get called out in front of senior management in the most humiliating way possible? We guess that the manager didn't love it, but clearly, everyone else on this software developer's team enjoyed this comeuppance. This manager, Dave, came waltzing in and insisted that all software developers adhere to a strict 9-5 work schedule with minimal breaks. The Redditor explained how this was not ideal for the team's productivity, given that c…

‘I haven’t got a raise in years': Employee discovers inexperienced new hire is offered the same salary as him, gets told to stop comparing himself to others

‘I haven’t gotten a raise in years': Employee discovers inexperienced new hire is offered the same salary as him, gets told to stop comparing himself to others

One of the biggest differences in the work ethics between the generation of today's young adults, and the generation of their parents, is the so-called 'commitment' to keep working in the same workplace for years upon years. Younger people, don't feel obligated to stay in the same place if it does not benefit them, and are ready to job hop as soon as a better offer comes along, creating a resume that is assembled by a collection of jobs that usually do not last more than two years. Their parent…

'As I handed her the coffee I told her I quit': Manager demands that employee makes her coffee at the end of every shift, employee finally snaps

'As I handed her the coffee I told her I quit': Manager demands that employee makes her coffee at the end of every shift, employee finally snaps

Some managers make such ridiculous demands that one has to wonder if they are trying to make their employees quit. Sometimes, that is the case, and other times, it's just that these managers have egos and enjoy engaging in power dynamics. If this description fits your manager, our advice would be to get out while you still can. Here, we have a barista whose manager would insist on having a coffee made for her at the end of every shift after everything in the store had been cleaned up and finish…

'Bride kicked out of her own wedding': Bride falls off boat, groom ditches her, she's left wandering the hotel lobby

'Bride kicked out of her own wedding': Bride falls off boat, groom ditches her, she's left wandering the hotel lobby

Imagine how ridiculous one must be as a human to get kicked out of one's own wedding ceremony. To be honest, it's kind of an impressive feat. When it comes to wedding debacles, we're typically used to audacious family members and occasionally difficult brides and grooms, but this story goes far beyond “difficult.” Here, we have a couple that already was getting noise complaints from other guests at the hotel before the wedding day officially began. By the time the festivities started, which wer…

Boss makes employee cancel vacation, employee's girlfriend confronts boss: 'I then demanded my boyfriend's boss refunds me every penny'

Boss makes employee cancel vacation, employee's girlfriend confronts boss: 'I then demanded my boyfriend's boss [refund] me every penny'

Friendly reminder to get your PTO confirmed before getting non-refundable flights! This employee's girlfriend learned that the hard way. People in the comments section were a bit tough on her for putting pressure on her boyfriend to make his boss refund every penny of their planned vacation after the boss denied the employee's PTO request. Still, we have reserved at least some sympathy for her. It's not like this employee wasn't entitled to that time, and while he wants to advance his career, h…

'You break it, you buy it': Staff member demands parents pay for damaged items at local pet shop after son ruins store

'You break it, you buy it': Staff member demands parents pay for damaged items at local pet shop after son ruins store

You are accountable for your child. Stated simply, you will be liable for the cost of replacing any products that your child breaks while you are shopping. Given this perspective, what would you do, therefore, if two well-to-do parents allowed their child to run wild and then declined to pay for the hundreds of dollars in damages? The story below is an account of a frustrated pet store employee. The original poster (OP) worked at the pet store for an extended period of time. Everything went wel…

'I said no and ended the call': School principal demands mom work for free to help with school play, she refuses, principal blames her for production failure

'I said no and ended the call': School principal demands mom work for free to help with school play, she refuses, principal blames her for production failure

It comes to no one's surprise that schools care much more about the sports programs than the arts. For some reason, it is assumed that the arts are not as important for kids' education as doing sports, and so the art programs get much less budget and attention in an unfortunate amount of schools. The situation is no different in the school from this Reddit story, and the main problem might be with the school's principal. OP (original poster) is a mom who got a call from a school principal askin…

'Boss wouldn't pay [for] two months after she fired me': Former employee calls out disorganized ex-boss for never getting her final paycheck

'Boss wouldn't pay [for] two months after she fired me': Former employee calls out disorganized ex-boss for never getting her final paycheck

It's always important to stand your ground when your employer has not honored their end of your contract. It can be easy in work dynamics to forget the fact that your contract is a two-way negotiation and you have rights no matter who is in charge. This former worker had the “audacity” to ask for her final paycheck two months after her toxic, disorganized boss fired her. After a period of radio silence, this Redditor finally decided to go off email and send a direct text message to her ex-boss…

‘Customers like you pay extra’: Hair salon owner chargers demanding woman double after she arrived four hours late to her appointment and complained about the service

‘Customers like you pay extra’: Hair salon owner chargers demanding woman double after she arrived four hours late to her appointment and complained about the service

Some people think and act like the world revolves around them, and something must be done to get them off the pedestal they have put themselves on. Just because you act like you are better than everyone else, does not mean you actually are. The Karen in this Reddit story has a main character syndrome that should seriously be addressed, because how she acted in a hair salon was simply unacceptable. OP (original poster) was getting her hair done when a woman walked into the salon, 4 hours late to…

Entitled driver blocks accessible ramp, guy gets petty payback and blocks his BMW: '90% of BMW owners give the rest a bad name'

Entitled driver blocks accessible ramp, guy gets petty payback and blocks his BMW: '90% of BMW owners give the rest a bad name'

Sometimes, being a good samaritan and getting petty revenge go hand in hand. Yes, one would think that this would be a strange juxtaposition. However, when an entitled person takes advantage of a vulnerable one, the hero of the story is the guy who gives that entitled dude a taste of his own medicine. Here, we have a BMW driver who parked right in front of the accessible ramp that a frequent churchgoer named Kyle uses to get inside the building. The good samaritan of this story noticed the BMW…

Employee gets suspended for no reason, stinks up work truck before quitting: 'Before I returned the truck, I release 6 stinky air fresher tags in it'

Employee gets suspended for no reason, stinks up work truck before quitting: 'Before I returned the truck, I release 6 stinky air fresher tags in it'

If an employee quits after poor treatment and is then tasked with returning something, do not expect that item to be returned in pristine condition. This worker had gone through a whole ordeal with her employer after multiple coworkers were let go due to a shortage of hours (yet somehow, they were still always hiring new employees… talk about messy and disorganized!). One week, this employee was taken off multiple shifts and given forced days off with absolutely no advanced warning. She wound u…

'I decided to head over to Big Bill's condo and talk to him man to man': Top HOA Stories of the Week (May 13, 2024)

'I decided to head over to Big Bill's condo and talk to him man to man': Top HOA Stories of the Week (May 13, 2024)

It's time for a weekly venting session about everyone's favorite topic: their local homeowner's association. A friend of mine recently recounted a story to me about how the previous owner of her modest condominium had his air conditioner incorrectly installed in a way that violated HOA bylaws. The problem is that no one ever noticed the issue while he was living there. When my friend moved in, she was relieved that she didn't have to install her own AC for once. Well, she would end up wishing t…

‘You should’ve read the terms and conditions': Hotel clerk refuses to give guest their money back after they try to cancel a non-refundable room, guest demands compensation

‘You should’ve read the terms and conditions': Hotel clerk refuses to give guest their money back after they try to cancel a non-refundable room, guest demands compensation

The patience that front desk employees possess is truly admirable and is definitely not talked about enough. They have to deal with an unbelievable amount of people who simply cannot understand the smallest of things, and overlook everything for their own benefit, and they do that on a daily basis. I tried being a front desk employee in a local hotel in my town, and I managed to do it for about a month. I just couldn't handle the guests' endless complaints and demands, and after a month of non-…

20+ guests share the most bizarre house rules they have encountered: 'No closed doors. Bedroom, bathroom, closet, whatever'

Being a guest in someone else's house means adjusting to new rules, some of which can be, well, ridiculous. Sure, there are the common ones that visitors are used to, such as taking off your shoes at the front door or house rules regarding how pets are treated (how they're fed, where they're allowed to go, etc.). Unfortunately, these folks had to deal with a lot more than the average house guest. For instance, one of these guests had to endure leaving doors open at all times. Yes, that included…
