'Go somewhere else!': Karen makes a scene about the prices at the nail salon, refuses to pay, other customers defend the owner

'Go somewhere else!': Karen makes a scene about the prices at the nail salon, refuses to pay, other customers defend the owner

This Karen had absolutely no idea that she was making a scene at the wrong nail salon. Not only was the business owner adamant that the prices are made crystal clear before services are provided, but also the other customers were fiercely loyal and defensive of the business owner and the establishment in general. Clearly, this Karen was not paying attention when she kept asking for additional services while getting a manicure and threw a fit when she learned how much those services cost after t…

'This is MY stall!': Karen tries to kick someone out of a public bathroom stall, starts shaking the stall and making a scene

'This is MY stall!': Karen tries to kick someone out of a public bathroom stall, starts shaking the stall and making a scene

Some Karens may run their homes, and others may run businesses, but no Karen owns the public bathroom of a local mall. Somehow, this entitled lady seemed to think otherwise despite the current occupant of said public bathroom stall. This Redditor was doing her business when the Karen came knocking on the stall door and tapping her heels impatiently. OP told Karen there were plenty of other empty stalls for her to use, and there were. However, this Karen simply could not be bothered and refused…

'He didn't touch my seat for the remainder of the flight': Kevin keeps grabbing passenger's seat on flight, passenger gets petty by grabbing his hand with wet fingers

'He didn't touch my seat for the remainder of the flight': Kevin keeps grabbing passenger's seat, passenger gets petty by grabbing his hand with wet fingers

It takes a special kind of person to disturb others on a flight. If it happens just once, of course, we let it slide. If it happens twice, we exchange glares to let that person know they need to get their act together. If it happens thrice or even more times, it's time to confront them or, at the very least, give them a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/IndependentClub1117 , who was unfortunately seated directly in front of a Kevin. Th…

'My husband is a lawyer': Karen tries to hit-and-run by using husband's job as an excuse despite evidence of collision

'My husband is a lawyer': Karen tries to hit-and-run by using husband's job as an excuse despite evidence of collision

If this Karen's husband is, in fact, a lawyer, she should know that refusing to exchange your information after a collision means it's a hit-and-run. The original video was shared by @edward3jr , who unfortunately had to deal with this Karen after she bumped into their parked car. Like any Karen would, she claimed that their cars never touched despite clear evidence that says otherwise. That evidence includes dashcam footage depicting the impact and photo evidence of the aftermath. At first, th…

'I pulled a Karen': Guy gets cuts off by bad driver, cops almost let him off until guy pulls out the dashcam footage

Every so often, there comes a time when you find yourself pulling a Karen for necessary reasons. This is not to condone Karen behavior, but rather to say that justified rage can sometimes be misinterpreted as Karen behavior, which is by definition unjustified. When you find yourself “pulling a Karen,” you often have the inclination to stop yourself from getting upset even though you have objectively been wronged in this situation. Sometimes, getting upset is not being a Karen. Sometimes, it's s…

'My daughter wants your bracelet': Mother demands to have shopper's bracelet, shopper refuses, cashier calls security

'My daughter wants your bracelet': Mother demands to have shopper's bracelet, shopper refuses, cashier calls security

The only thing more shocking than a stranger asking for your bracelet to give to her wailing child is that stranger's refusal to let it go after you say no. Seriously, this conversation lasted way longer than it needed to go, and in some ways, I applaud the Redditor for having the patience to put up with this entitled mother. If this were to happen to me, I would just put on my headphones and tune the Karen out. That being said, no one would want to have anything from my wardrobe, so I'm probab…

'After those remarks I couldn't take it': Airbnb Karens demand water tank repairman clear entire schedule for them, he refuses, forcing them to leave the house

There will always be people in this world who confuse you providing a contracted service for them with you being their full-time employee. What does this phenomenon boil down to at the end of the day? Well, folks, the answer to that is totally pure entitlement. That's what this vacation family of 18 had, specifically the two grandmother Karens who were communicating with this Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. OP had a side hustle running hot…

'Their parents overwork them to ensure the A+': Teacher forced to assign extra credit to appease helicopter parents, assigns lengthy tasks to get back at them

'Their parents overwork them to ensure the A+': Teacher forced to assign extra credit to appease helicopter parents, assigns lengthy tasks to get back at them

When everyone in the class is getting an A, is extra credit really necessary? We've all heard of these kinds of schools where the parents are always the invisible presence in the room. Once upon a time, I used to work as a tutor for high school students and experienced the full range of entitled behavior from students and parents alike. No matter what the specifics were, the grades were never high enough and the essays were never strong enough. The students I had were often (though not always)…

'I have a right to my opinion!': Top Karens of the Week (September 18, 2023)

'I have a right to my opinion!': Top Karens of the Week (September 18, 2023)

Everyone might be entitled to their opinion, but it takes a special person to want to enforce their opinion on everyone around them. Obviously, there are certain environments in which an authority figure in the room is given that privilege, such as a boss or the manager of a store, etc. However, the Karens and Kevins of the world seem to think that it doesn't matter where they are, who they're with, and what they're doing. They are always right, which means that you are always wrong. This week'…

'I don't even have kids': Guy blamed for unruly behavior of the kids seated next to him while their irresponsible parents were sitting behind them

'I don't even have kids': Guy blamed for unruly behavior of the kids seated next to him while their irresponsible parents were sitting behind them

There are two kinds of flights: decent ones and flightmares. If you're someone who genuinely enjoys getting on a plane, you're probably kidding yourself or perhaps you didn't have to pay for your own ticket. Now, if I seem jaded or pessimistic about all of this, let's be clear about a couple of things: (1) without fail, I am always in the last boarding group; it doesn't matter how much I have paid for these tickets because this always happens to be the case; (2) I am also always seated next to…

'I apologize on behalf of my Dad': Children of Karens and Kevins share 20+ embarrassing stories

It's easy to feel bad for servers and employees who have to deal with Karen customers on a regular basis, but not enough attention is given to the poor children of these unhinged people. They have to deal with that level of entitlement daily and overcome stomaching one embarrassing encounter after another. They probably feel sick every time they have to go anywhere with Mama Karen or Papa Kevin. Meanwhile, these kids are also spending every waking moment worried that one day, they might take on…

'I'm sure she won't be happy to hear about this': Florida family wants landscapers to charge them each the same low rate, landscapers agree to 'hold to [their] word'

'I'm sure she won't be happy to hear about this': Florida family demands landscapers charge them each the same low rate, landscapers agree to 'hold to [their] word'

When these landscapers got a referral from one customer to another, they had to explain some important caveats. Unfortunately for the landscapers, these clients were not happy with the deal they were going to get. Referrals are really important to many companies. In recent years, there's even a big incentive by lots of brands to tell your friends about their product. How many times have you gotten a friend to sign up for a random product just so you can get a discount? Or, if you're crafty, you…

'Neighbors suddenly became silent at nights': Dude's neighbors refuse to quiet down their kids at night, he gets even by playing loud rock music at 2:30am

'Neighbors suddenly became silent at nights': Dude's neighbors refuse to quiet down their kids at night, he gets even by playing loud rock music at 2:30am

Most parents teach their children about having respect for other people, but occasionally, you'll come across one or two who refuse to acknowledge that their kids need to learn a lesson. It's as if they are some untouchable species that could never do anything even remotely annoying or entitled or inappropriate. But we all know that kids can be all of those things. In fact, they are likely to lean into those qualities if no one calls them out, and it's preferable that their parents should be th…

'Manager/owner... won close to $50,000':' Diner insists on showing son the industrial freezer he installed, owner sues him for shoddy work

As a parent, it's only natural to want your kids to be involved in your life. That's why things like “Bring your kid to work” day exist — so you can show your kiddo off to all your coworkers, and let them see what you're doing all day long while they're at school. This dad had a similar idea of sorts… but it majorly backfired on him. U/FlashyCow1 shared a story from their time working at a burger restaurant. This place had a pretty devastating recurring problem: a faulty fridge that was consist…

'He tried to steal my dog': Top 10+ Worst Neighbor Stories

What does being neighborly even mean anymore? Especially when most of your neighbors are just self-absorbed, noisy, and nosy weirdos. It doesn't matter if you live in a relatively quiet suburb or an overly stimulating big city. Chances are you've probably dealt with a difficult neighbor at some point in your life. When I was living in my first New York City apartment as an adult, I once woke up in the middle of the night to someone repeatedly banging on my front door. My roommate and I were, of…
