'Most hours are in exchange for accommodation and meals': Wild post from off grid couple seeking unpaid child care draws criticism online

It's perplexing how many people think that they've come up with something clever when all they've done is reinvent something that humans have known about for centuries and made illegal for a reason. You can't just go around asking to do unpaid work for free as if being in your mere presence should be enough to excuse the fact that you're not being fairly compensated. Yes, sometimes this is called an “unpaid internship” but there's another word that comes to mind for pretty much any other time t…

'We were late and the movie theater wouldn't move [the] time': Top Spooky Karens of the Week (October 31, 2023)

'We were late and the movie theater wouldn't move [the] time': Top Spooky Karens of the Week (October 31, 2023)

In the spirit of Halloween, it's about time we shed light on some of the spookiest phenomena known to humankind: Karens. This week, we have Karens making scenes at a variety of locations, including movie theaters and on the road. Additionally, we even have thieving Karens, YouTube Karens, and mothering Karens. These days, it seems that Karens are everywhere and there is nothing scarier than that reality. Most recently, I had an unfortunate run-in with a Karen at the airport, who couldn't stand…

'All she does is pitch fits': Karen Mom calls the cops on her 5-year-old daughter for crying, cops arrest Karen

'All she does is pitch fits': Karen Mom calls the cops on her 5-year-old daughter for crying, officer arrests Karen

Just because you don't know how to parent doesn't mean you can just dial 9-1-1 on your five-year-old! Seriously, what was this impatient Karen thinking when she thought the best way to discipline her child for stomping around the room was to call the police five times and have them deal with it? News flash: all five-year-olds have the occasional behavioral fit, and if you really need a second pair of hands, consider working with her teachers or a professional. Otherwise, you're wasting time and…

'Foolish, FOOLISH man': Husband complains his wife should have dinner ready because she does nothing all day, she maliciously complies and refuses to clean anything

'Foolish, FOOLISH man': Husband complains his wife should have dinner ready because she does nothing all day, she maliciously complies and refuses to clean anything

You would think most of us would know at this point that being the primary “breadwinner” in a family does not mean you are entitled to make a fuss when dinner is not on the table upon your return home from work. It's 2023, people! We should have more realistic expectations of all parties in a family dynamic, and therefore, we should have equal respect for the financial and emotional contributions that all parties make. Unfortunately, these kinds of expectations do not gradually fizzle from one…

'Oh, okay. So you own the street?': Entitled Karen says woman's dog isn't allowed to bark on the street, woman films Karen

'Oh, okay. So you own the street?': Entitled Karen says woman's dog isn't allowed to bark on the street

A lot of things can set off Karens in the neighborhood, but a fellow neighbor's brief barking should not be one of them. We know the barking wasn't incessant, as the encounter was captured on video. We also believe that the dog's barking was just a means to an end for Karen, who clearly felt that the woman filming the video did not live in the neighborhood. Karen also did not approve of the fact that the woman parked her car where she did, claiming that if she really lived in the neighborhood s…

'It was my personal bag and it wasn't for sale': Shoplifting Karen claims employee's handbag is hers after employee tells her she cannot purchase it

'It was my personal bag and it wasn't for sale': Shoplifting Karen claims employee's handbag is hers after employee tells her she cannot purchase it

There are some people in this world who have been raised and reinforced with such entitlement that when they want something, no amount of reason will convince them that they can't have it. One has to wonder how one's mind can be so brainwashed to be able to think that you can have just about anything. Unfortunately, enough people out there seem to be mentally engineered this way and there's not much we can do to stop them. It's only a matter of time before you just have to get the cops involved…

'I get a knock on the door. It's the neighbor's mom...holding a receipt': Parent asks neighbor to pay for half of a bake sale, neighbor agrees and brings receipts

'I get a knock on the door. It's the neighbor's mom...holding a receipt': Entitled parent insists neighbor pay for bake sale, neighbor agrees and brings receipts

Sometimes on a warm afternoon, the local kids will hold a bake sale . Maybe in your neighborhood they sell lemonade and chocolate chip cookies, and in others, kids sell baked goods , like breads or slices of bundt cakes. Of course, lemonade is a bit easier to make than baked goods. So parents might volunteer help out with that part. It's really sweet to see kids get excited about being little businesspeople for a day as they sit outside and play store keeper. Plus, if you live in a bustling are…

'You can't count to five': Grocery store Karen gets shut down whilst going through express checkout with too many items

Express checkouts exist purely to improve the flow of checkout by allowing a greater number of persons with a minimal amount of items to move quickly through the checkout process, freeing them from having to wait behind those with full carts… It's a pretty simple concept, really.

'We quickly picked up the car end by end': High school kids prank selfish guy for stealing old lady's parking space

'We quickly picked up the car end by end': High school kids prank selfish guy for stealing old lady's parking space

People seem to be split about the ethics of this prank. On the one hand, these high school kids were defending the little old ladies who apparently everyone knows unofficially have these parking spots so that they can be close to the accessible ramps. However, on the other hand, you can't exactly move someone else's car without their permission. Even if he's not a stand-up guy for taking this one lady's spot. Technically, they don't own the parking spot, as great as it is that the community res…

'She's now known as the Kangaroo Karen': Top Karens of the Week (October 10, 2023)

This week, it seems like the Male Karens (or Kevins and Kyles, as they've been called) came out to play. Once again, this just further proves our point that anyone can be an entitled Karen, just like anyone can aspire to achieve anything in this world. So no matter who you are, you too can fulfill your dream of being a Karen. This week's list incorporates various settings, from a Wendy's to a pet store. And, of course, we have another classic customer service phone call story. Look, we've all b…

'You're the one with the problem': Karen caught on camera refusing to let paralyzed swimmer share a lane in community pool

'You're the one with the problem': Karen caught on camera refusing to let paralyzed swimmer share a lane in community pool

Some Karens can't even hide their warped perspectives. This woman kept shouting at a paralyzed swimmer, claiming that he hadn't reserved his lane in advance at the front desk. It turns out the swimmer had followed the correct protocol, and this woman merely was unhappy with the fact that his pool chair took up a full lane. Thankfully, her horrid behavior was caught on video and the footage went viral. The swimmer, who goes by Poppa Wheelie on the Internet, frequently posts motivational videos a…

'McKaren thinks fast food worker doesn't deserve less than a living wage': Karen loses it online because they forgot to put ketchup in her delivery bag

It takes a special kind of person to throw a fit about the lack of ketchup in their McDonald's delivery order. Look, in fairness to McKaren over here, we all know the disappointment of ordering delivery from McDonald's late at night when you're having a craving and not getting exactly what you ordered. But here's the thing: the food has already been delivered and unless you absolutely cannot eat it, choosing this battle is simply not worth anyone's time, money, or energy. This Karen , however,…

'Feel free to get into the regular line': Entitled Disney family gets owned by the same rules they're trying to circumvent

The most important lesson I learned in customer service was that you should never give an entitled person exceptions to rules or allow them to get away with gaming the system. The thing is, it's hard to stand your ground and face a possible complaint, but if you're firm and fair with them once, that's the only time they'll be a problem . But, as soon as you let them have their way, they're going to keep coming back and be a repeat problem for you because now they know that you and your organiza…

'I am turning into my mother and it terrifies me': 20+ signs that you've become your parents

There's a moment in everyone's adult lives when you realize that you have started to take on your parents' mannerisms for better or for worse. These mannerisms could range from the way in which you like to organize your kitchen cabinet to the phrases you use when you're frustrated at your partner (or even worse, your own kids). Of course, it's inevitable that we are going to take on the attributes of the people that surround us especially when we're young, no matter how hard we try to avoid it.…

'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…
