'You are not gonna scam me!': Male Karen accuses fast food worker of stealing $0.05, throws change at her

'You are not gonna scam me!': Male Karen accuses fast food worker of stealing $0.05, throws change at her

There are many instances in which it's worth confronting someone if you have been wronged. This story is not one of them. Here , we have a fast food worker who was nearing the end of a night shift and didn't have many bills left in her register. She explained this to a customer who was insistent on getting the exact change. No problem, but that meant that the worker had to give a considerable amount of that change in coins and not bills. This in and of itself infuriated the customer, who was at…

‘Get off your high horse’: Condescending teen claims to be better than the hardworking door-to-door salespeople, employee teaches young teen a lesson in humility

While not all occupations are ideal, they enable you to pay your bills and make ends meet, therefore we should never criticize someone based solely on their line of work. Most likely, every diligent person strives to support both themselves and their family. So, how would you respond if a young, entitled employee willingly showed up for work and declared that the job was not worth his time and effort? The story that follows is the tale of a grumpy yet diligent worker. An arrogant adolescent who…

Yoga Karen stalls woman so she's late, then steals her class reservation: 'Sorry, she just took the last spot'

This yoga Karen knew exactly what she was doing. Namaste to that! First, she recognized another frequent attendee of her favorite class in the elevator, who was running late as the class began in under ten minutes. Then, the yoga Karen intentionally made the other lady late by pressing the wrong buttons on the elevator so that it kept stopping on the wrong floor. Why would she do this?

HOA Karen tries to get neighbor to take down "cheap" and "sloppy" lights: 'Please don't take this personally'

Having an HOA board member as your next-door neighbor can definitely make you feel like you're constantly being watched.

This Reddit thread was posted by a homeowner who received an aggressive email from their HOA Karen neigh…

'Karen tells me to stop the ride so I did': Amusement park worker spooks Karen on a ride after she makes fun of other kids

Karma and Karens seem to go hand in hand these days. It's especially satisfying when the entitled humans of the world put negative energy out there in a public space and are shocked and appalled when they receive poor treatment in return. Sometimes, it's the universe coming back to bite these folks on the behind, or sometimes it's just an onlooker who refuses to allow further wrongdoing to occur. Here , we have an amusement park worker who witnessed a Karen customer making fun of a young 7-year…

'This store needs serious help': Entitled shoppers leave bad reviews for stores for petty reasons

'This store needs serious help': Entitled shoppers leave bad reviews for stores for petty reasons

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…

Not only did she overhear him discussing the heater, but she also followed him all the way back to his camper and tried to barge inside and take the heater from him. Eventually, the guy's family saw the commotion and gathered to defend…

'[I made] his plane ride as unpleasant as possible': Passenger gets back at the Kevin in front of him for yelling at a crying baby

People can get easily annoyed on flights, but some things are simply out of everyone's control. If you're stuck in the middle seat, people are going to have to use the bathroom and you will inevitably have to move. It's no one's fault; it's literally human nature. Similarly, if there is a baby on a plane, the baby is bound to get upset and cry. That's what babies do and it's not necessarily the parents' fault. You would be just like them in their situation, so keep that in mind before you start…
