"Karen, still mad, admits she is in the wrong restaurant."

The best part of this story is that his wife tries to act like she didn't sign a new contract.

What is it about arts and crafts stores that attract the most feral and angry human beings? It's the type of hobby that's supposed to be chill and relaxing… like isn't that the entire point? Why else would you spend your free time knitting scarves and crocheting hats? It's not as if the hobby gives the thrill of high-octane adrenaline-fueled excitement—although, when you think of it, adrenaline sports and hobbies usually are populated by the most chilled people, so maybe there's something to th…

This server thought that he could get the best of a clever dad and his family when they came in for breakfast, but he was wrong

"That was two months ago and he never replied to that email. Today, he called back."

Every business owner had to deal at least once in their career with clients who disappeared without paying for the service they got. Some cases end with a happy ending, with the owner managing to find the client and get them to pay, but other cases remain unsolved, which means the owner never receives the money they were owed. This leads some business owners to find other ways to get back their money's worth, even if it means unleashing their most petty selves. Much like the owner in this Reddi…

Requesting time off from work is kind of a weird ritual. While you're technically “asking” for time off, that time is, is usually less of a “want” and more of a “need”—even though your employer will treat it like the former. It's not as if you can ask your cousin to reschedule their wedding just for you or your entire family to reschedule their family reunion. Still, lots of businesses have periods of high trade where they're exceedingly strict about granting any time off—or there during holida…

“That'd be difficult because there isn't a Justin here.”

No, sir, that is not what the tipping jar is for… This entitled male Karen insisted on paying in cash despite not having enough change to pay for his $5.05 ice cream order. So instead of switching to a larger bill, a credit card, or a cancellation of the order, he decided to reach into the tip jar and pull out a nickel. Sure, it was just a nickel and it happened so fast for the store employee that there wasn't much use in stirring up a fuss. Still, it's the principle of the matter. Shoutout to…

There's nothing more infuriating than being stuck in traffic or otherwise stuck in some other horde of slow-moving masses of people. It's claustrophobia inducing and defies your internal logic: you could and should be able to get where you're going faster than this so why can't everyone just get out of your way? Why is everyone else going to the same place at the same time you are? This, of course, is a selfish way to think and act, and most of us know this even when we find ourselves getting f…

Dealing with an endless stream of customer complaints is no way to live your life... Repeatedly pushing that boulder of someone else's problems up to the tip of the hill only for it to roll down again every time the ungrateful person on the other end of the line hangs up. The futility and thanklessness of your efforts is only rewarded by statistics on a screen that you hope are high enough to keep your micromanaging supervisor off your back. Of course, the beauricratic inertia that customers fa…

Some organization's customer service departments are appalling for information to call into. Every time you call in, you're starting from scratch, telling the same story and documenting the same requests until you have the entire thing rehearsed down to a science. I've personally encountered this a few times in the last couple of years and it feels like it's only increasing in frequency with the rise of reliance on automated “AI” customer service systems.. After getting stranded in Houston last…

This person has to do that dreaded annual task: getting his car inspected . If you have a good car, it only takes a few minutes out of your day to get it passed. But if you have a clunker or you've been hearing some suspicious noises as you drive, you may be in for an annoying time. Some people wait last-minute to get their car inspected or do other annual tasks because let's face it, we all have a million things going on in our lives. It seems like some people are better at planning ahead than…

Canceling a subscription can feel like one of the great Sisyphean tasks of our time. It can also transform you into the kind of irate customer you always thought you could never become. I distinctly remember trying (and failing) to cancel my internet after moving in with my partner. However, because the account was established in my former roommate's name, I was unable to cancel it myself. Now, my former roommate was unreachable due to traveling abroad and I was about to get charged yet again f…

This restaurant brought receipts—literally, when serving this freshly-baked smackdown of a belligerent local Karen who left them a scathing review on a community group. The post got “around 300 comments,” prompting the restaurant to reply. They gathered timestamped screenshots of the encounter along with the actual receipts of the Karen's transaction in order to refute her claims and turn the tide of public discourse against her. When you seek to publicly humiliate another person or organizatio…
