How dare this contractor go and break their arm before checking with the testy client to see how they felt about it. So inconsiderate!

This young employee asked whether it was wrong to toy with the emotions of overly dick-ish customers by getting fake fired in front of them. It seems like a pretty harmless practice and gets bad customers to rethink their roles. We wonder what would happen if a customer just said "good!" People have ways of dealing with bad customers like this flight attendant who handled a problem flyer or this donut shop owner responding to a bad review with humility.
We've all had really rough jobs, and while ruminating on your annoying job can suck, some well placed work memes can be cathartic. Whether it's some customer service role where we have to deal with Karens having freak-outs, incompetent bosses or straight up boring jobs where you have nothing to do. The grind can lead to a sort of existential dread and a cycle that never seems to end. But don't worry, there are other jobs out there, and more often then not, the total BS you have to deal with will lead you to bigger and better things. Anyway, here's some work memes for the grind.
This guy tells the story of how he managed to keep a cool temper (thanks to his wife), and go on to outsmart what was arguably his worst customer of all time. Fair to say that this choosing beggar got so destroyed by this pro revenge that there's no way he'll think about trying his scam on someone else anytime soon!

Pizza delivery guy pulling through in the clutch! This guy definitely deserves a big tip.
People overlook the day-to-day frustration of working in retail, service, and anywhere else where you might come into contact with a wild Karen. Anyone who has worked a physically demanding job for very little pay has a special type of appreciation for less demanding work, and a special type of disdain for a life-long office type who's never had to get their hands dirty. This Tumblr user got to see their coworker have a learning moment.
Everyone has their breaking point, and some people lack the kind of common decency that's necessary to be able to see when you've pushed things too far. This customer just sounds like an awful person. Fortunately, things end up working out for the employee who was originally fired for not putting up with someone just being a terrible person.
This guy detailed his first week of work at Target, and it reads like an exhausting customer service nightmare. Working any kind of customer service job is willingly putting yourself on the front line of dealing with all kinds of toxic entitlement, and customers just making everyone else's life a little bit more complicated. Sounds like working at Target is no small feat.
This waitress managed to get back at her mean boss lady in quite the satisfying way. The saying "kill em with kindness" has never rang more true. In this case, the mean boss lady won't give the waitress her birthday off from work. So, after doing something totally normal like working on trading shifts around she managed to piss off the boss so much that she gets called out for being rude.
From there, she decides to quit at the end of the season, but commits herself to being nice as possible to everyone around her. She ends up winning over the hearts of all her co-workers, so much that they quit with her!
If you half-ass some oversized luggage into an overhead bin, bully a flight attendant and then remain totally noncompliant while they try to solve your issue, don't be surprised if they pull a power move on you. Most customers have a some decent idea of how not to be a bad person, but horrible customers will lie to scam companies out of washing machines, and even mistake bystanders for employees. For those having to deal with the customer service life, here are some too-relatable customer service memes.
This subway employee sounds like they just wanted to get fired. They were absolutely convinced that this customer just trying to get a sandwich, was indeed some sort of "secret shopper" that was trying to judge her work performance. Thing about that is that it doesn't sound like she could've cared any less.
In what world does someone think that if they complain about their new washer being broken that they'll get a second one and just get to have two washers? Seriously. Customers can be a handful but sometimes people get through to them with an honest approach. For when you can't, here are some customer service memes to help laugh away the pain.
