What is the etiquette these days when it comes to public transport? Not to sound like an "old man shouting at clouds," but it really does seem like etiquette—along with mutual unspoken respect and other social decorum—has gone completely out the window. Still, along with that, and theoretically causal of the previous issue is that people just seem generally more entitled and individualistic, it's all about “me me me” and “what can be done that benefits me” rather than partaking in the upholding…

Karens seem to go out of their way to make themselves known on public transportation. Whether it's starting an argument over an invasion of their personal space (they're usually in the wrong here) or talking loudly on the phone, these are people who feel compelled to make a scene wherever they go. Here , we have a parent who has clearly raised her perfectly healthy but endlessly annoying 8-year-old son to be just as entitled as she is. A passenger, the person who shared this Reddit thread, saw…

"He wasn't using headphones btw, even though the FA offered - I think he thought the wires would make him look stupid."

You never know what kind of neighbors you're going to get. You might get the ones who feed all the stray cats, turning your street into a constant feline frenzy . Or you might get the Boomers who yell at the neighborhood kids for daring to ride their bikes near their precious sidewalks. But worst of all, you might get the Karens —like this one—who think they're entitled to chop down your tree because it blocks their view of the sunset. This Karen is a new neighbor who just moved across the stre…

When a young couple moved into their grandparents' home after it had been vacant for a year, they were immediately greeted with drama from their entitled Boomer neighbors. Apparently, the neighbors had gotten a little too comfortable using the vacant yard and weren't happy to lose that extra space. The moment the new owners moved in, the neighbors started harassing them, claiming they were invading their property and even threatening legal action. But the best part of the story is, after gettin…

Just because he makes a 6-figure salary, doesn't mean your FRIENDS get a free dinner...

Sometimes, you have no choice but to treat people how they deserve to be treated. Reason and kindness can work with sensible strangers, but this insensitive dude was anything but sensible. If anything, he was just insensitive. Not only did he leave the door to his driver's seat open in such a way that blocked the Redditor's vehicle from leaving the parking garage, but also when the Redditor tried to signal to this guy to close his door, the guy refused to listen as he was on a so-called “import…

Karens exist in all industries, so it makes sense that they might not pop up in an army reserve unit. These male Karens insisted that the folks who managed processing logistics requests were taking too long with a specific order they made. They even tried to embarrass the reserve unit team at a big meeting with several higher-ranked individuals present. Well, that plan backfired as one of the members of this team, who shared this Reddit thread , looked up their processing request during the mee…

They say you should never mix family and business, and this story might just be the perfect example of why. After his son struggled to find work due to a legal incident 15 years ago, a retired father stepped in to help. He hired his son at the family business, hoping to set him up for success. The father, now 74 and mostly retired, still enjoys working occasionally and earns a commission for his efforts. But things have taken a turn. The son, now running the business, has started withholding hi…

Don't mess with the employee checking you in a hotel. They hold the power!

Just because your birthday is super important to you, doesn't mean everyone else has to celebrate it with you. Birthday celebrations are a lot of fun for kids. They grow so quickly that each year feels like a big change. They can invite their friends over to play, eat delicious treats, and open presents (hopefully the new toys they've been wanting). As adults, it seems like some people just don't care about birthdays as much. You aren't growing or changing that much from year to year, and it's…

"Too lazy to take a trip to the bank to throw them into a machine but willing to carry around an entire backpack full of pennies..."

This hotel front desk worker is testing out their limits as an employee. It appears that a lot of hotel workers are allowed to turn away guests at their own discretion. For example, if a guest wants to check in, and they're clearly rowdy and disruptive after partying all night, the hotel worker is allowed to turn them away if they think that guest will be a disruption to others at the hotel. There are other times when guests treat the hotel staffers really poorly, shouting at them or berating t…

"Even if he really is correct about it being a minute amount of money, that means that it shouldn't be any problem for *them* to pay it."

Breakfast is for paying guests ONLY...

There's nothing worse than being forced to clean up someone else's mess. These new homeowners assumed everything was good to go regarding compliance with HOA rules and regulations. However, just three months after buying the home, they were suddenly slapped with a ton of HOA fees for violating the bylaws. They tried to communicate that they had not made any adjustments to the house since they purchased it and therefore should not be held accountable for violations that the previous owner must h…
