Don't you just love it when someone makes a scene only to discover that they were in the wrong the entire time? This Karen waltzed up to the front desk of a hotel and claimed she did not owe anything because when she booked her reservation, she paid in advance. She even threw out the classic “I've been doing this for a long time” line to the concierge. The reality is that the front desk agent had also been doing this for a long time and could immediately sense that this woman still owed $99. Af…

What in tarnation is “food shaming”????

Be careful what you post on your local town's social media groups! This Karen customer could not wait in line to be helped at a home supply and maintenance store. She and her husband threw a tantrum and, after leaving the store, did not stop there. The Karen decided to review the store on her small town's Facebook group, embellishing her story so as to make it seem that all the employees at the store are unhelpful and lazy. Well, word got around and one of the employees saw the post. Thankfully…

“When you reserve a seat, it is yours. There should never even have to be a discussion about it.”

A little patience can go a long way.

There are some principles that are worth standing one's ground on and others where it's probably best not to engage further. Unfortunately, the ability for the Karens of the world to pick and choose their battles is not really existent, as they seem to be in battle mode 90% of the time. This Karen was asked if she wanted exact change back after ordering an ice cream milkshake at a well-known establishment. There was a shortage of change and the server was instructed by his manager to ask custom…

“He yelled at me through the phone and said that he has the right to HIS presidential suite...”

Service workers have the power to help you save (or lose) money.

This is not the first time a customer has refused to listen to reason, and it certainly won't be the last. We understand that people can be particular at restaurants due to dietary restrictions, but if your limitations permit you from the majority of the ingredients in a dish or on a restaurant's menu, it's probably easier for everyone involved if you simply order something more appropriate or to just go somewhere else. It's like that scene in the cinematic classic A Cinderella Story when a cus…

What are the professional rules on “take-backsies”?

Messing with a Karen is the kind of bold choice that is bound to have unforeseen consequences. These audacious folks are not the kinds of people to give up, admit wrongdoing, or go down without a fight. Here, we have a resident who never really had a problem with his neighbor until the fence surrounding his backyard suddenly collapsed. Following the incident, the resident could now see into his next-door neighbor's backyard and saw the piles and piles of heavy garbage that were at one point lin…

Incompetency is a disease. Get well soon, Karen.

When you have pets or a lot of plants, or just generally want to make sure that there's someone there watching your things, you might call upon a house sitter. Usually this person will gladly take the chance to live in your place, even just to have a “staycation” away from their normal living arrangements. More recently, there have even been people chaining together these types of arrangements in order to live rent free for a period of time.

Kindness can go a long way, but so can pettiness.

Exhausted from work and hunting for the perfect meal to satisfy your munchies, you might not bother looking over the bill to ensure you were not billed more than is needed. However, there are times when you do notice, and what do you do then? Do you give up and brush it off as simply another example of something that ‘is not worth your aggravation’ or do you fight for a refund? The story below is an account of a clever consumer. The original poster (OP) relates how he managed to outwit the near…
