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…

“We laughed about it but it really was the craziest encounter with entitled people…”

This lady was asking for trouble. She was picking up her kid from school and decided to park on a neighbor's driveway. Now according to the neighbor, who shared this thread on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it is quite common for parents to back into his driveway during pickup as it can get especially crowded at that time. He is normally ok with this, as it seems to come with the territory of living across the street from a school. However, this time, the Original Poster was on his way home when…

If you're going to be a Karen, you better be able to face the consequences of your actions.

Cutting in line is always a dangerous game. Not only are you showing that you lack any sort of moral code, but also you are likely making enemies out of the other people in line, and their retaliation may be far more intense than just an eye roll. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/turtlesh0es , who was waiting to refill his tires at his local Wawa when an entitled Karen asked if she could go before him. The Redditor had already been waiting for some time and polit…

It can't be simple to work in the hospitality sector. There's something about the entitled vacationers that never fails to stun the dedicated crew. Having said that, how would you respond if a haughty client barged into your establishment expecting to be taken advantage of and let down? Would you face the hard truth that this isn't a conflict worth waging, or would you try to prove him wrong and give him the trip of a lifetime? The story that follows is the story of a confused hotel worker. The…

When you marry someone, you also marry their family. However, because you are now, in effect, friends with them as well, no one warns you about the lengthy list of unwelcome acquaintances you make along the way. The story that follows describes the frustrations of a spouse dealing with his wife's ‘friends’. The original poster (OP) finds himself in an extremely challenging predicament. His wife's friends are now just as much of a concern to him as his own, so he must entertain them in addition…

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,…

Sometimes you need to seek out karma, sometimes karma is thurst upon you.

For better or for worse, parks attract a wide range of outsized personalities. There are the folks who want to keep to themselves, the ones who are actively trying to draw attention, and the ones who whether they know it or not are making everyone else's experience at the park miserable. Most of the time, we do not have the courage to confront these individuals, but every so often, the opportunity for some much-needed petty revenge arises. With this particular scenario, which was shared by u/No…

Common courtesy is not exactly something that strangers on airplanes seem to exhibit anymore. These days, people are taking their shoes off and parading around in their bare feet. They're hogging the shared arm rests. They're extending their legs beyond their own personal space. Whatever happened to even the slightest sliver of respect people used to show for one another on flights? This passenger had it with one particular phenomenon, and it was at the end of the travel experience. Yes, we're…

You're never too young to stand up for yourself.

Karma can rear its head just about anywhere, even if it's in a long line at the local drive-thru pharmacy. Here, we have a customer who was patiently waiting third in line at a drive-thru in order to pick up a prescription. Because of the structural layout on the street, there had to be a small gap between the third and fourth positions in line so that regular drivers could pass. Well, one SUV line-cutting male Karen thought that gap could be an opportunity to sneak in and completely cut the li…

“My lease clearly states that all water-related issues are management’s problem. I don’t pay for water or gas utility, it’s included in my rent... I’m perfectly capable of fixing the issue, but out of spite, I refuse to. I had a small leak at my house once, and it drove my bill almost $100 for the month over normal. I figure at least $1000 in water has literally gone down the drain, not to mention, the water is also being heated by the gas water heater.”

This family has to have one of the worst neighbors out there. After over ten months of their ongoing feud, the family's Karen-neighbor finally got what she deserved. Evicted. It all started when this family got a new neighbor to share their duplex with. They knew nothing about the person who moved in, but her true character quickly came out in their first meeting. She was a middle-aged woman with lots of cats, whom the Original Poster (OP) nicknamed Karen, for good reason. When they first met,…

It's always a risk when you're buying something from Marketplace. Like anything you purchase, you have to do your due diligence and assess the product carefully before going for it and making the purchase. Sometimes, we're overwhelmed and we forget to be careful when we buy products that appear to be perfectly fine. This Redditor certainly acknowledges his own part in that when he bought a broken ottoman. That being said, when he tried to return said item, it became clear that the previous owne…
