When you snooze, you lose, HOA.

Does anyone else fear being on an interminable elevator ride with an annoying stranger? Truly, this is like nails on a chalkboard for me, especially if my fellow passenger tries to make conversation or is as aggressively impolite as this male Karen was. This dude had the audacity to scream on speaker phone during a long elevator ride, having no regard for the other person standing a short distance away from him as if he were completely invisible. So, seeing as the male Karen refused to quiet do…

"He seems to be expecting this money from us. We are willing to pay a portion but I personally feel swindled."

This mastermind really committed to his payback. After moving into an HOA community and almost immediately getting violations (albeit unfairly) for not having a “green enough” lawn and for keeping his trash cans too close to his driveway, he decided to embark on some next-level petty revenge that ultimately managed to be the best thing for the community at large.

Keeping a friendly rapport with your landlord is essential if you want to make the most out of your stay. And yet, how would you feel if your landlord threatened to call the authorities if you didn't leave the dryer and washing machine behind? The story below is an account of a bewildered tenant. The original poster (OP) had just moved out of her apartment. After living in the same apartment for a considerable amount of time, OP had decided that it was finally time for a change of scenery. So,…

What era does this Karen think we're living in? Clearly, she is in no position to enforce what people should or should not wear in 2024. However, being the Karen she is, she felt entitled to speak up and speak out. For context, this innocent woman stopped by the grocery store to prepare for a BBQ with her husband when another Karen customer accosted her and immediately gave her a hard time about her dress code. The other lady tried to explain that she was not an employee there, to no avail. In…

being a parent is hard, there is no arguing with that. How parents manage to take care of their kids and give them everything they have to offer while also maintaining their own identity and aspirations in life, is beyond me. Once one starts seeing their parents as actual, real people, one starts to learn that there is no rule book and there aren't any guidelines to being a parent, they just wing it as they go, which unsurprisingly means that parents make many, many , many mistakes.

Who does she think she is, the government?

"Bessie went boom again."

Sometimes you just have to cut people out of your life for good.

The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter. The original poster (OP) moved to the US in order to advance her career. Since leaving her home country, she has been sending money to her parents as a token of appreciation for all of their support throughout the years. Though initially everything was well, t…

"Karen, still mad, admits she is in the wrong restaurant."

Well, that's one way to do it.
