Customer service has perhaps never been more wild, and customers are getting creative with how rude they are to employees - who are trying their best to keep their patience.

We've all had less than stellar encounters with customers, but coming across a one-star review about said encounter online isn't exactly a great feeling.

Screw the trolley problem… How about the airline seat reclining problem as a thought experiment for ethical determination of one's actions? You're flying on an airline and have two choices: To recline your seat or not. Reclining your seat makes your experience more enjoyable but makes the experience of the person behind you twice as terrible as a result... Do you recline? Let's take this to more of extreme. Say, those “push the button” memes where you can get a million dollars for pressing a bi…

Though the days we fretted about exams are far behind us, we can still remember the bitter taste in our mouths as we bit our nails, staring gloomily out into the distance through our dorm windows, the background noise upping our stress levels. Being a student sucks, we get it. But that's no excuse to disregard someone else's time, much less a mentor who isn't actually receiving any money for doing their job. In this case, an IT mentor volunteered to teach students code, IT, and MVP. The team of…

People love to complain about nothing!

This woman is giving major White Lotus energy.

The audacity of this woman!

The audacity of some people just feels absolutely insane. How can you be THAT delusional, running around town like you own the place? How come delusional and entitled tend to go hand in hand? A story we came across recently on Reddit really had us pondering this. On the subreddit r/EntitledPeople a person posted a story about a friend of theirs. This friend owned a farm with some rescue horses. She did not give out riding lessons because these horses have gone through trauma and are not for rid…

One entitled couple got a rude awakening as they tried to help plan a hen and stag party. As the OP details in this fascinating story from r/weddingshaming , there's one couple in his friend group who are a bit pushy and just show up at every single friend event…even when their presence is not wanted. When some of the group's friends began planning their upcoming nuptials, the nightmare couple continue to show up to the events . But then they finally take things a step too far when they demande…

Does a random blogger's influence really hold enough power to warrant a free meal? Unless you're a major celebrity, or blogging is a full-time job you make money from, I'm guessing the answer is no. But that didn't stop this woman from insisting on eating for free! At this point, the trend of influencers in restaurants has become pretty predictable — and silly. Have you ever seen the food arrive at the table, only for an aspiring influencer to start snapping 100 photos of everyone's food? This…

People tend to think they have sole rights to any name they choose. Guarding it with the same vigor that Mickey Mouse's lawyers use to protect his trademarked silhouette (don't even think of attaching three circles to each other for your logo.) It's almost as if people don't realize that their “Emily” is one of the millions, owning to the name being one of the most popular for the last 30 years. The same goes for any name. Unless you're naming your child something you really shouldn't (ie X Æ A…

Dealing with rude customers has maybe never been worse for retail workers. Luckily, with social media, workers can vent their frustration, and roast some annoying Karens while they're at it! That's what one video creator, anniefizzle, did in a viral video, which garnered more than 4.1 million views.

This artist has a friend who may become an ex-friend following a heated childcare squabble. There are some “fun” careers that people tend to dismiss as not being “real work.” Even if your job seems fun to the people watching from the outside, that doesn't mean it lacks concentration, skill, and time management. This artist is dealing with that right now! Her friend seems to be under the impression that as an artist, the OP can just goof off and play with art supplies while watching the friend's…

If you read the original poster's title as ‘Hitachi Fun’ instead of ‘Hibachi Fun,’ like me, you were expecting a very different thread.

Taking everything and leaving nothing—that's generally a good sign that you're in the wrong. Operating at extreme ends of social behavior and acting in ways that speak to these extremes is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way—regardless of your belief or justification. As has been said a hundred times: We're all the heroes of our own stories. Everyone has a justification for their actions in their mind for why they've done or said something, even if everyone else is telling them that they…

Decorum in a situation you've seldom encountered can be difficult to discern. You suddenly find yourself overthinking every movement, act, and word that comes out of your mouth to try and seem like you know what's going on and belong in that situation. So, then, what should you do when you have a contractor in your home? I'm sure we've all shared in the awkwardness of this experience at some point. Are you meant to try and help them or offer assistance? It would be polite to offer them a glass…
