The sun may be coming out this week, but the Karens of the world seem to be shining even brighter. This week, we have a plethora of Karens to dissect, analyze, and fear. The first is the spouse of someone serving in the military, who is demanding free stuff everywhere she goes. Then, we have a Karen who tried to make a customer service representative try on her sweaty earbuds. Next, we have a Danish Karen with the hair and everything who accused innocent tenants hanging around in their own apar…

There are great ways to quit and then there are iconic ways to quit. This former employee should be inducted into the Hall of Fame for workers who have had it with their horrible bosses. Before we get into the petty revenge itself, let's start with some backstory. This office was already a tense environment on a daily basis, with employees regularly crying at their desks and getting publicly ridiculed by the CMO and director for innocent and minor mistakes. One day, this Redditor's former cowor…

Excel may be boring as heck, but it comes in clutch sometimes in the workplace and whether we like it or not, it's a necessary evil at the office-- just like incompetent bosses. Strangely, every work scenario is plagued with a useless boss who parades around their department as if they know anything that goes on under the hood and it's rare that we see their arrogant ineptitude called out.

Sometimes, writing a measured review is the only way to frustrate the people who did you wrong. It's funny how we often associate these kinds of critical reviews with entitled Karen on the internet when it has to do with customer service encounters. However, when it comes to reviews of companies, we tend to immediately side with the people writing the review. What does this say about our culture and inherent biases? Well, it has a lot to do with authority complexes and power dynamics, as do mos…

This is what happens to companies that put a cap on the amount of raises they will give to their employees. This loyal employee had been working at his company for ten years, at which point he received his final raise. Naturally, a lack of mobility or incentive does not do much to maintain a sense of loyalty from even your most loyal employees and coworkers. This boss came to understand that the hard way, as this employee only waited to receive his final raise so that he could then leverage tha…

Your neighbors might make you very happy or quite uncomfortable. In light of this, how would you respond if you had just moved into a new home and your primary goal was to keep everyone in your surrounding area happy? Would you cave into their obnoxious demands, or would you stand your ground no matter what? The story that follows tells the tale of a newlywed couple who are disappointed with their newly purchased home. The original poster (OP) recently moved to a stunning house with a sizable g…

If you're an upcycler, a trinket-lover, or an antique aficionado, you've probably perused a garage sale or two. The thrill of a real-life treasure hunt is a visceral experience and the satisfaction you feel when you find just the perfect item is priceless. However, there are rules in the scavenging business–and when garage sale etiquette is breached, there could be some expensive consequences.

Indeed, family is precious, and you should make every effort to love and support them during good times and bad. But when will you be able to acknowledge that your family members might be taking advantage of you with their constant barrage of absurd demands? The story that follows is written from the viewpoint of an angry sibling. The original poster (OP) and his brother did not share a close bond. Perhaps they were tight as children, but since OP embarked on his journey to adulthood, they’ve g…

Standing up to your landlord is not an easy task. Most of us give in because we have no other option. However, every so often in a landlord-tenant dispute, the tenant comes out on top, and it's usually because of two reasons. The first is that the tenant was admirably relentless in their pursuit of at least some semblance of justice. The second is that the landlord was clumsy and incompetent. This tenant was kicked out of their apartment wrongfully because the landlord's wife wanted to use that…

It's not easy dealing with a Monster-in-law. Just ask Jennifer Lopez! Dealing with particular in-laws means always having to walk a fine line between pleasing them and standing up for yourself. This becomes all too real on family gatherings and vacations. Suddenly, you're forced to be with them all the time and to cater to their needs, wishes, and fluctuating moods. This Redditor has been preparing for an upcoming trip after learning that their mother-in-law was made aware of private informatio…

If there's one person you don't want to mess with, it's someone who is great at technology. Of course, most hackers do not know how competent their targets are, which is why this kid got his much-deserved comeuppance after his failed attempt at taking over this other guy's video game account. This story is also a reminder to keep your technologically talented friends in your corner, as this guy did. He and his friend were big RuneScape people in the early 2000s, so much so that their successful…

“We laughed about it but it really was the craziest encounter with entitled people…”

There is an extremely thin line between being a valued employee with a balanced workload and being an overworked employee who has way too much depended on them. Many employees, in an understandable attempt to be an asset to their company, cross that line and create an unhealthy relationship with their work when they suddenly realize they have taken on too much. Much like the employee in this Reddit story, who had been stuck in a company for 3 years, overflowing with workload by their boss, and…

Ah, nepo babies! They never fail to lean into their entitlement when it suits them. Here, we have a college-aged dude whose father essentially founded a company to give his son experience. This Redditor , one of the only full-time employees at said company, had been collaborating closely with their employer on an eLearning course, which was a time-consuming hands-on project for the both of them. However, when it came time for the boss's son to apply for summer jobs, he called the Original Poste…

Living in an area prone to storms surely teaches you a lot of life hacks and survival skills that other people don't know. If you don't want to lose half of your possessions and unreal amounts of money, you need to educate yourself and learn how to keep everything safe even when something like a hurricane or a thunderstorm hits your area. Some people, simply would not listen to advice about these matters, and when the consequences happen, they also refuse to admit they were wrong, but no one fe…

This lady was asking for trouble. She was picking up her kid from school and decided to park on a neighbor's driveway. Now according to the neighbor, who shared this thread on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it is quite common for parents to back into his driveway during pickup as it can get especially crowded at that time. He is normally ok with this, as it seems to come with the territory of living across the street from a school. However, this time, the Original Poster was on his way home when…
