Don't push for a return-to-office mandate if you can't follow it yourself.

Every business has a different hierarchical structure that is exclusive to it. The account provided in the story below comes from a former student. The original poster (OP) was a university student majoring in English. During her time as a student, she launched the department newsletter and helped with the editing and publication of the annual literary journal. She significantly improved the newsletter and the magazine, but since she was still viewed as a junior editor, she was expected to perf…

Having a guest in your house can easily feel like a boundary has been crossed, but these house guests really overstayed their welcome. Some of them violated clearly defined rules and regulations, while others made the kinds of unfathomable choices that no host could have predicted. These stories range from entitled mothers-in-law (yes, there were multiple anecdotes about in-laws) who rearranged the kitchen cabinet without permission to visitors who used the laundry machines far too many times u…

Imagine your boss having this amount of entitlement and audacity to claim that they deserve your first class upgrade. This employee , unfortunately, found themselves on the same flight as their boss after a business trip. The two were originally meant to be seated together, until the employee received a first class upgrade because, although the company booked the original ticket, the employee often flies with this airline and uses their credit card. However, that was not enough of an explanatio…

Everyone wants to know what tricks they can use to try and rig the system, especially if it means they can save money. It doesn't matter who is on the other side of that exchange, as long as you come out better on the other side, right? Well, no. As fun as it can be to find little ways to “save” money, there is a clear line between using acceptable little tricks to spend less money or get better deals, and actually lying and cheating others. The hotel guest in this Reddit story tried to rig the…

Patience is a virtue.

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could pa…

Are you available 25 hours every day?

Who doesn't love a good instant karma story? Especially when it's a couple of entitled people who have no concern for others around them. A pair of Karen's, if you will. This entitled couple was waiting in line for airport security. According to the Original Poster (OP), the line wasn't too long, but there was only one employee checking every single person, causing the line to go dreadfully slow. Unfortunately for the OP, he was standing in front of the entitled couple. Every time the line mo...

Every food worker has that one Karen story that they love to tell. While working in fast food service, employees are bound to encounter crabby customers daily. Customers show up at their hungriest, ready to eat ASAP. They often won't bother being polite to the employees, and if their food takes more than a minute or two, they'll start loudly complaining to everyone in earshot about it. Other people will get their food, but insist it just “isn't quite right.” Maybe they insist their fries are co…

Homeowner's associations are where infuriating neighbors go to bang together and be infuriating as a collective. That seems to be their one purpose in life: to make everyone else's lives more difficult and more limited. And on top of it all, they just seem to be collective fines and fees as a result of their so-called “enforcement.”

This is definitely crossing the line… and probably illegal, too. This poor employee works for a school district that was gearing up for summer break. Before they leave, all the teachers have the responsibility of submitting important paperwork before they take their annual leave. Well, when one coworker left the team high and dry, their entitled boss tried to get the Original Poster (OP) to finish the coworker's work. After refusing , saying that there simply wasn't enough time in the workday t…

If one wants to hold onto their job and advance in the company, they should treat it seriously. Having said that, do you still owe your manager an explanation of what you are doing and with whom when you are not in the office? The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) receives hourly pay for his part-time job at the local gym. At first, everything was going smoothly, and OP was enjoying working with the fitness enthusiasts. However, things took a terrible…

Everyone has at least one person in their lives who demands way too much and offers next to nothing in return. What remains a mystery when it comes to these unicorn individuals is where on earth their audacity lies. Seriously, if there is one thing we can learn from these folks, it's the shocking confidence to ask for (nay, demand) services they simply do not deserve. For instance, one of these folks had no shame posting on Facebook for a live-in nanny who would ostensibly cook, clean, take car…

All is fair until customers start throwing stuff at you.

Sometimes people can have a Karen moment, but that doesn't mean they are certified Karens. Sometimes they can redeem themselves.
