He gave her exactly what she asked for.

There's a certain etiquette involved when it comes to enjoying public entertainment… even if you'd paid to view it, and no matter how much you have paid to view it, you should not do anything that detracts from others' enjoyment of the event. Not only has it become commonplace for concertgoers to eclipse the view of those behind them with cell phones and signs, but it has also become far more commonplace for concertgoers to shriek lyrics passionately at the top of their lungs, drowning out the…

It doesn't hurt to be nice or at least kind to people who are just doing their job. Oftentimes, your complaint with their service will have more to do with the organization and its cost-saving policies rather than with the individual themself. And this is important to remember because a lot of people—well, they don't think about it at all. Customer service agents are no strangers to verbal mistreatment from customers. Don't get it wrong; customer service agents can be prone to being just as mis…

It takes a whole lot of audacity to complain about not having something you're not properly paying for… This entitled customer recently downgraded his internet speed from 500 mpbs to 100 because he wanted a cheaper plan. Well, as a result, this had consequences on the quality of his Wi-Fi connection. Of course, when you're a Karen, you don't necessarily have the capacity to put two and two together and realize that this is what you get for downgrading to a cheaper plan. He wound up complaining…

There's a whole lot you can get yourselves worked up about in this world… and salads aren't generally one of them. It's really not all that big of a deal to pay for food that you've taken, especially when it's a couple of leaves of lettuce. The vibes you usually get from salad lovers are chill and wholesome, though there is absolutely room for overlap in that group for people who seem to give off those vibes when they're really just masking how woefully entitled they are. It's hard to believe t…

Being a server means that you have to deal with a ton of unnecessary behavior from coworkers, managers, and especially customers. However, having to pay the price (in this case, quite literally) for a dining and dashing incident is about as bad as it can get. Here, we have a server who got lectured, belittled, and reprimanded by his manager after a table of 11+ customers managed to get away with ditching the restaurant without paying. First of all, we cannot help but empathize with this server…

It's always baffling when customers don't check the price of the items in their shopping cart before arriving at checkout. Or better yet, why wouldn't this customer check how much money she had on hand before leaving her home and picking up $800 worth of merchandise at the store? In addition to what ultimately transpired when this entitled customer showed up at checkout, she also managed to spend over seven hours in the store picking up items to add to her cart. This is not only strange and que…

Then she tried again a few minutes later.

This is something that comes up now and again that anyone offering specialized services to clients will certainly resonate with. It's amazing how often a person or an organization will pay for services, products, and the expertise that comes along with them, only to refuse to accept the advice that they're paying for. And with ego-fueled hubris, they suddenly decide that they know what's best. The old adages might tell us that “The customer knows best” and that "The customer is always right in…

"Draw pictures and illustrations and have her count out the number of apples and bananas."

It's always important to be weary when money is involved, and the fact that everyone has heard a tale or two about a scamming or dishonest mechanic adds to their apprehension when facing a service bill. The problem with thinking everyone is trying to get one over on you all the time is that you'll blame everyone for everything and find yourself constantly at odds. Typically, these types of demands from customers are a way of avoiding footing the bill or in the hopes that you might knock somethi…

This customer decided to throw a huge fit at the exact the wrong time. Not that there's a right time for a customer to throw a fit… Unless you're a literal toddler or baby, no one is going to care about your hissy fit. You've got to “use your words,” as they say to children. When you're an adult, you're expected to act like one, yet so many adults just have total meltdowns when they're faced with issues that require them to talk to customer service reps. Customer service reps should get a lot o…

Customers aren't always right, but they're happy to be confidently wrong. This person worked at an ice cream parlor as a teenager, which is a typical first job for many kids. U/chsser writes that they generally enjoyed the role, but they had a few regulars who had zero patience. At any restaurant, there are bound to be delays, and you might even get the wrong order from time to time. If you're a regular, it'll probably happen to you eventually. The person antagonizing this teen was a regular to…

It's important to remember in any circumstances where you want to circumvent security and gain entrance to somewhere that you're going to need to get out as well… and the same thing applies when you're trying to get back into somewhere you've gotten out of. Anyone who ever snuck out as a teenager knows exactly how this goes: getting out is pretty easy, but getting back into your room in the wee hours of the morning without waking anyone is exceedingly more difficult. Mom, if you're reading this…

It's particularly perplexing how some people manage to survive in this world when they're living in such a peculiar version of it. Of course, you seem to encounter people like this all the time when you're working in retail or the service industry. I suppose it's a “monkeys with typewriters” type of situation; by sheer chance, if you meet enough people in a day, you're bound to bump into a few with unique understandings and perspectives of the world. Still, you'll continually be surprised by so…

Some people just don't respond well to rejection, even when that rejection comes in the perceived form of an employee handing in their notice even if they've never treated the employee well or cared much for them in the first place. Anyone who has been around the block a couple of times in their career will know how this goes. They'll say it's about betrayal and the fact that you're leaving your ream high and dry with a touch of “How could you do this to us,” this might be followed by silent tr…
