We have this tendancy as a society to assume that just because someone is notably successful in one area that they must be a paragon of humanity in all other ways when—well, this often couldn't be farther from the actual truth. See, there's this thing that happens to those who have early success—or have success thrust upon them thanks to nepotistic opportunity—where they also think they're better than everyone else. If they found their success through a singular focus on their chosen path, it's…

What kind of mother books a first-class seat for herself, leaving her 9-year-old in coach, and then proceeds to make it seem like this is all someone else's fault? That someone else, in this instance, would be this unfortunate passenger in business class. The Karen approached him and asked if he would be willing to switch seats with her son, and he was willing at first… that is, until he learned that her son was all the way back in coach. Now, most of us cannot relate to the business class pass…

Watch out, folks! The Park Karens have reemerged for the summer season. This park employee worked for a small HOA management company and was tasked with cleaning up the local park so that it meets community standards. During his latest shift, he was collecting trash and leaving it for morning trash pickup, a process he was accustomed to as it followed said community guidelines. Well, this Karen was on her morning walk when she noticed the pile of trash and immediately accused the park worker of…

Running a business is challenging, especially once you expand to the point that you need to hire people to help you manage the workload. Turns out you have to pay people to have them do work for you… Can you believe that??? The irony of wanting someone to do something for you for free that you yourself do as a profession is palpable, requiring leaps and bounds in logic that bottle the mind. These types of “choosing beggar” posts seem to almost always consist of some kind of child-care or pet-si…

Conducting business can be costly. Since there are no guarantees in business, only the daring among us take the chance and embark on the journey into the corporate world. The story below describes a disappointed sibling. The original poster (OP) had recently lost his father. After the father's passing, the children received equal ownership of the assets and money. As a result, upon inheriting the father's run-down home, OP spotted his chance to become wealthy and realized that real estate was h…

Nicole Kidman may come to the movie theater for magic, but sometimes all you get is cranky Karen customers. As someone who still frequents the movie theater and loves doing so, I still cannot deny that filmgoers have become borderline barbaric over the last several years. From bringing in pungent food into the theater to fully answering cell phones during climactic moments, one has to wonder why some of these customers even got off their couches in the first place, especially if they were plann…

Navigating your way through a crowded store is one of those experiences you won't soon forget, squeezing through cramped aisles between situationally unaware strangers who have made it their prerogative to move as erratically as possible. To make matters worse, you always seem to be in a hurry when this happens, and you need to get in and out as fast as possible while everyone else is moving like the walking dead. As whenever queueing—or any basic social order and decorum—is expected there's al…

There is nothing like an entitled Karen who very much can pay for something but chooses to cause a scene instead. This lady refused to pay the local landscaping business that had been doing work for her for over three years. She falsely accused them of not completing jobs and eventually requested an itemized list of jobs they had done for her during this time to stall even further. The worst part of the whole debacle is that this is the same lady who brags to anyone who will listen about how we…

For better or worse, we are frequently left utterly shocked and dumbfounded by other individuals. Even while the immediate reaction to the shock might be one of terror, if you've had some time to collect yourself, consider what took place, and fully comprehend the situation, you should be able to savor the enjoyment of the unexpected. Ultimately, these seemingly trivial occurrences are what keeps us upright and add flavor to our daily lives. ‘What is the ridiculous reason someone got mad at you…

Working for wealthy folks can be endlessly frustrating. People may think The White Lotus and Triangle of Sadness are heightened exaggerations of what it's like, but based on these stories, it's quite clear that those films may be leaning closer to nonfiction territory than anyone wants to believe. Although I have never worked as a full-time nanny , I have worked in education, specifically for wealthy families. I have seen the entitlement, the distorted view of reality, and the unrealistic expec…

This person told their neighbor over and over that they simply could not park on their property. Some people just don't like to take no as an answer. Instead of hearing “no,” they hear “ask again tomorrow!”. Instead of hearing “you can't park your car here," this neighbor heard, “you can park your car here and deal with the consequences.” On the r/entitledparents subreddit, u/Jeleki2020 posted a very, very long tale about their crazy neighbor. It's a long read, but the story and subsequent upda…

There is a specific dynamic that emerges when you spend time at your parents' place as an adult. You start to notice all the crazy house rules, patterns, and habits that make absolutely zero sense. However, no matter how many times you try to explain a more efficient way of doing something, there is nothing you can do to change their minds. Living with my parents during that time back in 2020 resulted in a clash of personalities that thankfully did not lead to complete and total combustion. Sti…

Being a guest in someone else's house means adjusting to new rules, some of which can be, well, ridiculous. Sure, there are the common ones that visitors are used to, such as taking off your shoes at the front door or house rules regarding how pets are treated (how they're fed, where they're allowed to go, etc.). Unfortunately, these folks had to deal with a lot more than the average house guest. For instance, one of these guests had to endure leaving doors open at all times. Yes, that included…

The sun may be coming out this week, but the Karens of the world seem to be shining even brighter. This week, we have a plethora of Karens to dissect, analyze, and fear. The first is the spouse of someone serving in the military, who is demanding free stuff everywhere she goes. Then, we have a Karen who tried to make a customer service representative try on her sweaty earbuds. Next, we have a Danish Karen with the hair and everything who accused innocent tenants hanging around in their own apar…

Indeed, family is precious, and you should make every effort to love and support them during good times and bad. But when will you be able to acknowledge that your family members might be taking advantage of you with their constant barrage of absurd demands? The story that follows is written from the viewpoint of an angry sibling. The original poster (OP) and his brother did not share a close bond. Perhaps they were tight as children, but since OP embarked on his journey to adulthood, they’ve g…

Let's be real: very few audience members know how to behave at live events anymore. Perhaps it's partially our ever-dependence on technological devices, or perhaps it's just that we have set such low standards for ourselves and our attention spans. Here, we have a comedy show that had just started. This Redditor and her husband just got to their seats, and her husband took out his phone for ten seconds to send a quick text to his brother. He made sure to do this swiftly and with low brightness,…
