Nothing melts our icy hearts like reading a story about a driver having to deal with some road rager that couldn't keep their stuff together, for like a minute (if that), and ends up being the butt end of a petty revenge. It's a beautiful thing, really. A lost art form. 

Man, oh man they delivered with the grade A banter. There's just no coming back from those responses. 

All we're missing in this story about a Karen racking up a disgusting $16K cell phone bill while on vacation in some remote island, is a picture of what Karen's face looked like when she learned she was only being given $25 in credit toward the bill. Mind you, this is $25 in credit compared to the thousands ($14K) she was previously offered by a tremendously helpful call center employee. But no, Karen got unbelievably greedy (if not fraudulent), and rejected the kindness being shown to her. Suffice to say, she certainly paid the price. 

Some people are blinded by their own entitlement to such an extent that it's generally impossible to reason with them. This conversation was clearly destined to go nowhere from the start. The choosing beggar came out waving all the red flags. Also, the whole delivery demand situation was truly mind boggling. 

Wow, it's not every day you come across a bridezilla case involving a request right out of left field to have turtles with lit candles on their backs at the wedding reception. I can appreciate the creativity, but that's about it. The turtles definitely wouldn't be stoked about having to lug around lit candles on their backs. 

You never know what you're going to find behind the next "right swipe" in the wild world of Tinder. Some people that use the app are actually able to strike up a reasonable conversation that gives way to a legitimate relationship on down the road. Other folks use the app to try out the best and worst of their pickup lines that they have on hand. The following collection of moments from Tinder have some wins, fails, and just generally shameless one-liners. 

Sometimes you're having a conversation with a human being that you otherwise thought was perfectly rational, and not prone to fits of blind and entirely irrational rage, and then they pull a fast one on you. This particular customer opted for being a waking nightmare. Fortunately, the tech support employee who fielded the situation kept their cool, and it all worked out in the end. 

Well played by the plumber. This choosing beggar is giving every impression that they'd never have actually paid up. The sheer audacity of this person and their pompous entitlement is beyond comprehension. Check out some more delusional choosing beggars in action over here.

Let this man's story of fail be a lesson in not leaping toward assumptions. Even with that being said, it does seem like he was caught up in quite the unsettling and genuinely physically uncomfortable predicament. Those laundry detergent pods will get you, man. It's definitely a good thing that he learned what was going on when it was all said and done. Couldn't have been good for his health! 

Let the following collection of clever comebacks and rare insults serve as a solid reminder to never underestimate the power of the written word. As long as people are online spewing out random, nonsensical sentiments that never should've been shared in the first place they'll run the risk of getting utterly wrecked. These spicy silvertongues certainly brought the heat.

Talk about some pathological lying. This Karen sounds like just a bit of a nightmare to end up working with. And after she gets herself fired from her old job she has the audacity to list her old employer (that she screwed over) as a reference? Someone's got to give Karen the reality check moment that not showing up to work has consequences, and her ridiculous storytelling is completely transparent. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about how a bridezilla Karen ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

It's not that hard to be a decent houseguest. All you have to do is sit there and not punch holes in the wall. And even if you do punch a hole in the wall, there are ways to apologize and repay your host. Apparently that's too hard for some houseguests who do unforgivably disrespectful things. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most ridiculous cases of wealthy being out of touch that they've ever seen. Some people's wallets are so dang dense with the funds that they just seem to move through life operating by a different set of rules. Or they don't even bother considering the rules that the rest of society plays by. 

Man, in terms of all the kinds of choosing beggar cases that we encounter, some of the worst must be the ones involving choosing beggars offering exposure instead of actual payment. In this case, that was only made worse by the fact that the choosing beggar proceeded to dish out the threats when they were rightfully rejected. Check out another wild choosing beggar scenario, with this choosing beggar who wanted a free VCR, but only if it was new.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most mindless things that people have ever witnessed out in the world. The thread was inspired by the late George Carlin's infamous quote about how when you meet someone seemingly stupid, there's also another person out there that's going to be twice as dumb as they are. Just considering that, it's no wonder that the kinds of occurrences in this thread are taking place in the world.
