The facility manager here knows that their job is to keep things running smoothly—not to bow to the wishes of every single tenant and employee. As a facility manager, u/ImTheWh0 knows that they're responsible for the entire building , and they take that role seriously. It's the kind of job that means that everything happening in that building is the manager's responsibility, including maintaining the key cards for their tenants. In my experience, building managers also tend to build relationshi…

Look, none of us wants to be at the airport , but if we have to be there, we may as well try to relax. You already know you might be delayed for four hours, so bring a book. If you don't want to be bored in the long TSA line snaking around the building, best to bring a podcast or some good music. U/traveler-veil did just that when they were traveling , and it helped them a little bit. It would've been a more effective distraction if someone could manage to shut their yapper for more than five s…

Families are supposed to be your pillar of support, your safe haven, your anchor. But in actuality, not every family is the idealized, Hallmark-movie type of family.

The list is endless and includes the hotel, the vehicle to collect you from the airport, the various activities, and the restaurants. But despite their evident importance, the flights are an important component that is occasionally overlooked.

“They're the type of people who took a super long honeymoon and have never had to worry about money so they just don't treat people like me (not rich) like we're even people.”

Writing a bad review for a restaurant won't help much unless you just want to vent. If you want the whole world to know that you had a bad experience, you're certainly entitled to do that. In a world where many establishments specifically ask customers to review their business, it's never been easier to lodge a complaint. However, as u/Fatastic_Captain highlighted in their post to an anti-Karen subreddit, a lot of shoppers are foiled by their own mistakes. For example, one person left a one-sta…

You think you're good at handling high-intensity situations until you encounter a Karen…

Every penny counts , according to this customer. A debate stirs up every few years over the abolishment of the penny. The humble one-cent coin is rather useless in today's day and age. Gone are the days of penny candy---even dollar stores are quickly becoming $3-$5 stores. There's very little you can purchase for a dollar, and with the current rate of inflation, there's little hope that it'll improve any time soon. Back to the penny debate: every so often, people will petition to get rid of the…

It seems like Karens only comprehend service animals when it's them buying a vest online and using it for their untrained dog.

Of all the reasons to get kicked out of a country , this might be the most embarrassing. No vacation goes 100% perfectly—there are always a few hiccups. There are the tiny things, like planning to visit a popular spot, only to find out when you arrive that it's closed for the day. Then there are bigger issues, like that one family member who forgets their passport at home, and remembers once they're at the airport. It's not every day you encounter problems like this, though. A traveler got depo…

It's our duty to keep the Karen inside of us all in check, though, sometimes you might need a little help from your partner to do so.

We should have the expectation as a society that it's ok to deny someone service for being impolite to staff. This might actually teach people to be respectful and treat other people with common decency rather than with abject entitlement. Of course, as with anything else, there are grey areas and blurred lines and you might just end up talking to some egotistical service manager who is having a bad day. Still, professional courtesy should prevail even if they're not giving you the same. This c…
