This employee saw right through this so-called “influencer's” prank. The young man has posted several videos on social media in which he tries to prank unsuspecting employees at various stores, but this time, he met his match. The teenager tried to pass off a ridiculous-looking homemade device as a “virtual reality” gadget. The employee was not having any of this guy's pitch and knew that he was trying to sell him some nonsense. At first, the employee remained calm and politely asked the teenag…

I don't know about you, but when I invite a friend or family member over, I don't sit down and tally up every dime they owe me when they leave. I mean, sure, if they go off on their own adventures or we split the dinner bill, that's all cool. But splitting the gas expenses for driving them around town? Is that even a thing? Well, that's exactly why this OP took to Reddit for some advice.

We know that the dating scene these days can feel like an endless pattern of failed first dates, but you have to make the slightest bit of effort at the very least. Otherwise, you are simply in no position to complain about your life as a single person. This Redditor tried his best on a first date with a woman who would not stop texting during their meal. It was just constant. Every time the phone buzzed, she just had to pick it up and text (probably with her sound on) instead of answering simp…

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…

If you enjoy reading stories about entitled people who think the world revolves around them, then you're going to want to stick around for this story. So, a woman goes to pick up her Starbucks coffee after ordering through the app, only to be forcefully confronted by a Karen who gets infuriated when she sees that people who ordered online get their drinks before her.

Having your things go missing from a shared storage space is, understandably, infuriating, especially when that space is only accessible by your adult colleagues who ought to understand full well that the taking of others' things is wrong—and not some preschoolers who have yet to learn that lesson. Still, repeatedly throughout your life, you'll be disappointed to discover that some adults just don't care about doing the right thing and will shamelessly do whatever is in their own best interest—…

It's always astonishing to me why the Karens of the world decide to pick battles with the people who could make their lives difficult. When I check into a hotel, I try to make a point to be almost overly polite because I know from experience that front desk agents can make your stay easier, better, or more challenging. This Redditor shared that they discovered the best way to get even with Karen customers at the hotel in which they work: simply deactivate their room keys after they leave the fr…

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…

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,…

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…

The full range of human decency (and lack thereof) is on display at the airport security line. When you are stuck in a seemingly endless and motionless security line, it's increasingly hard to remember that patience is a virtue. It's far easier to roll your eyes and complain that you have the worst luck of anyone you know, which of course is not true considering that hundreds of other people are stuck in the same exact line. In short, it's easy to forget that other people are dealing with the s…

There is nothing like the vicarious satisfaction that comes with hearing about someone getting well-deserved payback. It doesn't matter if you don't know any of the people in the story. In fact, we all love drama in which we have zero involvement because then, the stakes are low for us and the enjoyment has no personal consequences. These stories, which were compiled from the top posts on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit this past week, range in settings and environments from schools to office…

Unfriendly neighbors should not be surprised when karma comes knocking at their door. Here, we have a family in a small neighborhood who managed to make enemies with just about everyone. Matters were made worse when this Redditor discovered that they were letting their dog go to the bathroom on his lawn. Now, if that kind of thing happens once or twice, it's excusable, but if it continues to happen… Houston, we've got a problem. This neighborhood happens to have strict rules with regard to garb…

Welcome to server life, where you get paid next to nothing to deal with entitled customers and power-tripping managers while working on your feet for seemingly endless shifts. You can just imagine the cast of characters that everyday servers are forced to encounter, confront, work with, and work for day in and day out. So let the following stories, which were compiled from Reddit's r/TalesFromYourServer subreddit, ~serve~ as yet another reminder to be kind and generous with your servers. Tip th…

Is there no greater social experiment to observe how people change and/or how people don't than a high school reunion? Even just attending your reunion requires some degree of posturing. You want to present the best version of yourself to the people who used to make fun of you, the people you used to have a crush on, and the people you had a crush on who also used to make fun of you. Sure, the purpose of attending your high school reunion is to show people just how well you're doing and to pote…

Some crafty folks enjoy selling their creations, but their customers seem to feel entitled to every step of the process. In the social media era, it's never been easier to feel closer to your favorite artist. The common adage is that people are attracted to the process of creating art, and lots of social media savvy creators are now showing their processes publically. This especially draws attention if your artwork involves dripping lots of paint down a canvas or frosting a cake at 5x speed. Th…
