“My husband told her if she wants to play Nancy Drew she’s welcome to but he has better things to do…”

Whether it's replacing furniture and appliances or planning graduation parties and gender reveals, the choosing beggars of the world have been out to play this week. For many folks, summer is the time for rest and relaxation. For others, it's a time of desperation. A family friend of mine organizes a yard sale every summer, and it always seems like the people who ruin the whole experience year after year are the choosing beggars that pop up out of nowhere demanding the quality of luxury brands…

Sometimes it seems like folks are content to listen to themselves talk. For them, having their opinions heard is more essential than having any knowledge of the topic at hand. This is the story of a Caltech student who was left speechless. A man approached the original poster (OP) while he was wandering about the campus and said something absurd about a dog. OP initially thought the man was talking to the person behind him, but he soon realized that was not the case. The man seemed to be reques…

There is nothing like an entitled Karen who very much can pay for something but chooses to cause a scene instead. This lady refused to pay the local landscaping business that had been doing work for her for over three years. She falsely accused them of not completing jobs and eventually requested an itemized list of jobs they had done for her during this time to stall even further. The worst part of the whole debacle is that this is the same lady who brags to anyone who will listen about how we…

One customer has a trick for getting free movie theater treats, and you're not going to like it one bit. I wish I'd never heard of such a foul life hack. But here we are. There are plenty of ways to sneak food into movie theaters . In fact, as some older generations have pointed out in discussions of the topic, theaters used to actually police what you brought in. They used to make you throw out the candy stuffed into your mom's purse. These days, the employees mainly check bags for safety purp…

It's always baffling when a house guest decides they can boss their host around. It takes a specific kind of entitled Karen-level audacity to suddenly act like you make the rules in a space that is clearly not yours. Well, this lady would come to regret trying to assert her authority in her friend's space. She started to criticize practically every choice her friend's partner made when it came time to serve their spaghetti dinner, a meal she did not make by the way. She insisted on using a “pro…

“It’s very fun and I’m not gonna stop lol.”

This worker got a little taste of power and went completely overboard. While some workplaces have clearly defined roles for every employee , a lot of places ask employees to wear many different hats. So, much like u/Jenny8765309, there's no way to politely say, “That's not my job,” when someone asks you to do something that's most definitely not your responsibility. It's even harder when the person who's constantly asking for favors is in a position of power over you. This worker shared the sto…

For better or worse, we are frequently left utterly shocked and dumbfounded by other individuals. Even while the immediate reaction to the shock might be one of terror, if you've had some time to collect yourself, consider what took place, and fully comprehend the situation, you should be able to savor the enjoyment of the unexpected. Ultimately, these seemingly trivial occurrences are what keeps us upright and add flavor to our daily lives. ‘What is the ridiculous reason someone got mad at you…

It never hurts to be kind. Having manners helps a lot in life, too. It's like that saying goes: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. You'll get far in life by treating people the way you'd like to be treated… but you'll also learn pretty quickly that not everyone is raised right. Some people just cannot fathom that people besides themselves have feelings, too. One of the best tips for knowing if someone was raised right or not is to dine with them at a restaurant , like u/SassNA**319 d…

It seems like Gary really needed to make a scene at his corporate retreat! This guy approached the front desk of a hotel, which was almost entirely rented out by his company for the week, when he found himself confronted with a bit of a problem: he was asked to show his ID before he could receive his room key. Normally, any sane person would understand that this is a customary part of the hotel check-in process, yet somehow Gary took issue with this ask. To make matters worse, he had a copy of…

Have you ever experienced the awkward situation of accidentally mistaking a random customer for an employee? Maybe they were wearing a similar color to the actual employees, or maybe they just looked like they could work there. It's an awkward experience for everyone, but typically, you would politely apologize for the mistake, and then both of you would return to whatever it was you were doing. But not in this case. An entitled Boomer mistook a woman in Staples for an employee (scroll down bel…

Workers often leave their companies for better opportunities not because of the company itself, but because of bad management . The management structure of a business has a lot to do with an employee's day-to-day life. Some people have bosses who are micromanagers who want to hold their employees accountable for every minute of the day. With your boss breathing down your neck 40 hours each week while you're trying to write your emails and do your tasks, it's easy to get sick of the scrutiny. Ot…

Some people consider their high school years to be some of the best they have ever experienced, while others detest the memory of those years and everyone who contributed to making them so challenging to endure. The story down below is an account of a frustrated lawyer. The original poster (OP), who is a lawyer, recently took on an estate matter that piqued his interest. The case was going well at first, and the OP was largely happy with the direction it was going. But as soon as OP discovered…

One of the first things a young person should learn and become proficient at before embarking on the road to adulthood is plane etiquette. There are three main guidelines that one should always abide by. Window etiquette comes first, followed by aisle etiquette, and finally—possibly the most crucial—baby/parent etiquette. The original poster (OP) is traveling with her 19-month-old son on a three-hour flight. As instructed by the airline, she only purchased one seat, hoping the baby would drift…

Working for wealthy folks can be endlessly frustrating. People may think The White Lotus and Triangle of Sadness are heightened exaggerations of what it's like, but based on these stories, it's quite clear that those films may be leaning closer to nonfiction territory than anyone wants to believe. Although I have never worked as a full-time nanny , I have worked in education, specifically for wealthy families. I have seen the entitlement, the distorted view of reality, and the unrealistic expec…
