business

Man oh man, nothing can bring a hard working employee's blood to a boil like having to deal with an incompetent boss who insists with bullish ignorance that they know how to run things, as they ruin everything. Jeff sounds like a waking nightmare to work with, and a generally toxic person to be around. Fortunately, this guy was able to use his talent and skillset to start up his own business, and successfully poach some of Jeff's clients. And honestly, it sounds like that was for the best. Businesses weren't long for this world under Jeff's "guidance." 

This company tried to turn their lame offer into a competition, but they asked precisely the wrong person to comply. This business owner in particular has had some memorable interactions with folks like this private school that wanted upgrades before their own charity, this treasurer of who couldn't comprehend a payment plan, or this client who refused to understand what having a broken arm means.

Leaving a review isn't always as simple as saying whatever you want about what happened. Case in point, this lying Karen getting decimated by an owner's response. Some business owners watch their reviews like a hawk, and they make time go into serious detail about what actually went down.

It's stories like this that can make people feel like the only people they can trust are themselves. This guy was borrowing money from tons of people, with what would seem to be no genuine intention of actually paying them back. Unfortunately, this guy's tactics didn't get the guy to reconsider his approach to life and finances. Oh well. 

Every industry has something they don't tell customers and clients. It could be something about the amount of quality control that doesn't happen, the arbitrary nature of pricing, or people getting away with doing the bare minimum. Lies and open secrets in various industries are like the duct tape holding your walls together. Just about any business has some weird tales, like these all-you-can-eat-buffet horror stories.

Printing counterfeit books is a low blow, indeed. You see the firsthand implications of such a practice, here, with this student who got screwed over by a book that simply wasn't as it presented itself. Not cool. Not cool at all. 

This is a classic example of a business owner fighting the good fight, and handling one of way too many lying reviewers that are out there, trying to ruin perfectly great establishments' reputations. This clap back from the owner really couldn't have gone any better. 

Check out more examples of liars getting called out online, over here.

The landlord expected this business to just leave their stuff so he could sell the whole space to their competitors, but they were having none of it. For more landlord drama, here's a guy who went full Karen when threatened with eviction and revenge that ensued when a landlord who broke the law. Here's another where a landlord refused to give back a deposit so court revenge followed.

What a fine example of a cheap business, making their lives more complicated by not just doing the right thing up front. After refusing to refund a buyer $40, they ended up being told by the court that they'd have to pay $230. In all fairness, that dog tag is kind of horrifying too. 

Maureen Johnson shared an awesome Twitter thread about a small business going above and beyond, after her mother ordered some flowers. Some people are actually amazing human beings. What a truly awesome gesture of kindness. 

People can get in some major disputes with their landlords, like this landlord who admitted to breaking the law, or this guy who went full Karen after being threatened with eviction. The business of having a safe place to live can get pretty brutal, and it leads people to do some crazy things like this person who defeated their terrible neighbor by buying their house.

Sure, people like getting stuff for cheap and free, but when it's an entitled person who demands something for free and is also a huge ass about it, things get dicey. It can be a landlord, a potential employer, customer or just a stranger. There's entitled individuals with unreasonable demands all over the place.

Whether it comes from a legal dispute, or part of being hired to work at a company, sometimes people are sworn to secrecy via non-disclosure agreements. Those can expire, and now people have old secrets burning holes in their mind pockets. Every industry has it's dirty secrets.

The fact that "Chad" couldn't stop himself from ruining his cars, says a lot about his relationship with the rest of life. The dude went full scumbag mode. Apparently he screwed over his construction business partner, and said partner decided to fight back. The revenge was years in the making, and oh boy, did it play out beautifully. Tough luck, Chad. 

People absolutely love leaving extremely critical, sometimes untruthful reviews of stores and restaurants. Sometimes it's even a lie made up by their competition. Business owners will go to bat online to defend their honor, like this guy who leveled with a customer who complained over buying a single dollar taco. Sometimes customers are lying to save face and the business brings in some critical details, like this tattoo parlor that had an epic response for an entitled customer.
