'Where's my cheesecake?': Three nightmare Karens accuse delivery driver of being too slow, he claps back

'Where's my cheesecake?': Three nightmare Karens accuse delivery driver of being too slow, he claps back

This poor delivery driver had to deal with not one, not two, but three back-to-back entitled Karen customers who seemed determined to make his shift a living nightmare. We already have plenty of sympathy for having to deal with the average customer on a busy night of food deliveries, but this dude really dealt with the worst of the worst. Karen #1 kept complaining about her order being delayed. Karen #2 accused the delivery driver of stealing her cheesecake from IHOP, as if that were a desirabl…

Karen demands baker go to the butcher's shop next door to sell her some meat: 'I don't see why you can't just go and get it for me'

It's particularly perplexing how some people manage to survive in this world when they're living in such a peculiar version of it. Of course, you seem to encounter people like this all the time when you're working in retail or the service industry. I suppose it's a “monkeys with typewriters” type of situation; by sheer chance, if you meet enough people in a day, you're bound to bump into a few with unique understandings and perspectives of the world. Still, you'll continually be surprised by so…

'That lady needs a talking to': Grocery store Karen throws tantrum over woman's dress code thinking she works there, manager intervenes

'That lady needs a talking to': Grocery store Karen throws tantrum over woman's dress code thinking she works there, manager intervenes

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…

‘We're closed, bye now’: Server kicks out Karen from restaurant after she demands service despite being told their system is down, bystanders applaud the server

We all want to have the best experience while being out and about, eating at restaurants, and enjoying life. That is why we can all probably recall times when those experiences don't go as planned, and we end up annoyed in certain situations. When going out to eat, for example, you expect the dining experience to provide you with a pleasant service, in which you are greeted a certain way, you get your food in an acceptable amount of time, and overall leave the place feeling content. When one of…

'You didn't wait two hours. Our wait never hit more than 35 minutes': 15+ restaurant reviews from entitled Karens, plus rebuttals from the restaurant owners

'You didn't wait two hours. Our wait never hit more than 35 minutes': 15+ restaurant reviews from entitled Karens, plus rebuttals from the restaurant owners

The only thing more satisfying than reading a funny restaurant review online is reading a savage response from the owner. Here, we have several entitled Karen customers, who clearly left out plenty of important details regarding their dining experiences. It's the power of narrative, folks, as well as the power of main character syndrome. These Karen customers seemed to all genuinely believe that they were the innocent victims of their stories. That self-belief extended to the ways in which they…

'Male Karen [is] trying to steal my stepson's inheritance': Top Karens of the Week (August 19, 2024)

This week's crop of Karen stories ranges from the classic expected behavior of the entitled people of the world to unexpected levels of entitlement. First, we have a parking saga involving a crazy-eyed Karen who couldn't be patient to wait to get out of the same parking lot as everyone else who was stuck there waiting. Then, we have a one-star review from a Karen customer who was caught exaggerating about her so-called horrendous experience. Finally, we've got a scheming male Karen in the famil…

18-year-old employee tells boss to approve their leave or accept their resignation: 'How do I tell my boss that she either has to approve my 4 months' notice or accept my 2 weeks' resignation?'

Requesting time off from work is kind of a weird ritual. While you're technically “asking” for time off, that time is, is usually less of a “want” and more of a “need”—even though your employer will treat it like the former. It's not as if you can ask your cousin to reschedule their wedding just for you or your entire family to reschedule their family reunion. Still, lots of businesses have periods of high trade where they're exceedingly strict about granting any time off—or there during holida…

'Karen goes red': Entitled hotel guest throws tantrum about delayed breakfast start time, worker maliciously complies and turns other guests against her

No one should expect much from a standard continental breakfast at a run-down hotel. Unfortunately, this Karen did not manage her expectations and decided to stir up a fuss, leaving an overworked hotel worker no choice but to enact some much-needed malicious compliance. This worker was often held responsible for preparing breakfast first thing in the morning so it was ready by 6:00 am when a group of construction workers and local hunters were typically among the first wave of diners. These gro…

Good luck to this guy who's trying to buy a bike . He's clearly not ready to purchase one, as u/BreWanKenobi explained in her malicious compliance story ! Biking is the best: it's a fun, fast, and efficient way to get around. Instead of getting into your car, you can get to your destination while feeling the wind in your hair. Plus, it's much faster than walking, which also just takes longer. It's one of the most universally beloved activities in the world, and basically every country has bikes…

‘She stamped her foot and left’: Karen throws a tantrum at grocery store after she is $10 short of her purchase, her husband calls her out in front of entire store

Whenever one hears about a story that features a Karen, it often makes you wonder how these people go about their day, and who are the unfortunate souls that have to deal with them on a daily basis. Most Karens usually have husbands and kids, and they surely are aware of how she behaves in public. So how do they deal with her? Are they just as crazy, or do they know how to calm her down and make her see reason? This Reddit story answers these questions for at least one Karen, and boy were the a…

Entitled Karen customer takes money out of tip jar to pay for ice cream: 'He still owes you money'

No, sir, that is not what the tipping jar is for… This entitled male Karen insisted on paying in cash despite not having enough change to pay for his $5.05 ice cream order. So instead of switching to a larger bill, a credit card, or a cancellation of the order, he decided to reach into the tip jar and pull out a nickel. Sure, it was just a nickel and it happened so fast for the store employee that there wasn't much use in stirring up a fuss. Still, it's the principle of the matter. Shoutout to…

Karen demands to be let out of packed parking lot ahead of everyone else: 'Can you guys just move! We're trying to get out of here!'

There's nothing more infuriating than being stuck in traffic or otherwise stuck in some other horde of slow-moving masses of people. It's claustrophobia inducing and defies your internal logic: you could and should be able to get where you're going faster than this so why can't everyone just get out of your way? Why is everyone else going to the same place at the same time you are? This, of course, is a selfish way to think and act, and most of us know this even when we find ourselves getting f…

'Good riddance. Or so I thought': Guy struggles to cancel cable subscription, company won't stop calling after he disconnects service

Canceling a subscription can feel like one of the great Sisyphean tasks of our time. It can also transform you into the kind of irate customer you always thought you could never become. I distinctly remember trying (and failing) to cancel my internet after moving in with my partner. However, because the account was established in my former roommate's name, I was unable to cancel it myself. Now, my former roommate was unreachable due to traveling abroad and I was about to get charged yet again f…

Restaurant serves entitled Karen after she writes scathing 1-star-review over $2 dispute, provides hard evidence and turns public discourse against her: 'Below is the truth along with supporting evidence...'

This restaurant brought receipts—literally, when serving this freshly-baked smackdown of a belligerent local Karen who left them a scathing review on a community group. The post got “around 300 comments,” prompting the restaurant to reply. They gathered timestamped screenshots of the encounter along with the actual receipts of the Karen's transaction in order to refute her claims and turn the tide of public discourse against her. When you seek to publicly humiliate another person or organizatio…
