Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their biggest HR nightmare cases. These people are generally off their rocker! Sometimes an employee throws an HR employee such a curveball, that they really don't know what to do with it. 

If you've ever worked retail or any customer-facing job, you will have met a customer who was disrespectful, entitled, treated you like an object and made some demand that store policy doesn't actually honor. With their sticky-fingered kids, boorish husbands and shrill battle cry of "the customer is always right" a Karen is a customer service person's personal nightmare. That's why we take extra joy in stories of entitled Karens who park in disabled spots and get tricked by parody customer service accounts. Oh and also when they demand their children get to taste painful hot sauce. There's a lot of fun times to be had.

A woman working HR asked Redditors in a recent AITA thread, whether or not she was a jerk for wanting to reject a qualified candidate on the grounds that this person hooked up with her cheating ex-fiancé. Sounds like a solid case of conflict of interest, and that everyone would be best served moving forward down separate paths. Can't imagine this hiring would make for a healthy workplace environment. 

If HR is doing their job, then they're keeping the moral compass of a company intact and on track. You hope that they're able to shut down all the BS and toxic behavior that crosses the line when it comes to what's acceptable in the workplace environment. This AskReddit thread has people that worked HR or took their complaint to HR, sharing what kind of circumstances inspired the decision. Buckle up. 

If you're looking for a little more workplace drama, we recommend checking out the story of this guy taking revenge on his coworker after they played dirty to ruin his promotion. Wonder what HR would have to say about that! 

These people need H.R. like yesterday. As for bosses...they're the LAST people that should've been put in positions of power.
