Some crafty folks enjoy selling their creations, but their customers seem to feel entitled to every step of the process. In the social media era, it's never been easier to feel closer to your favorite artist. The common adage is that people are attracted to the process of creating art, and lots of social media savvy creators are now showing their processes publically. This especially draws attention if your artwork involves dripping lots of paint down a canvas or frosting a cake at 5x speed. Th…

When you work is customer service, sometimes it's easier to hook it up for a customer just to get rid of them. We all know that there's a certain leeway that managers are privy to extend to clients, but that of course is at their discretion. If all of the sudden a snarky Karen starts insulting the manager personally, things might not go as planned for their 'oh-so-important' refund.

Overprotective parents are known to go the extra mile in the name of keeping an eye on their children, but tracking the nanny outside of work hours is way too far. You would think that any employer would know that this would be a clear invasion of privacy, yet apparently, some folks need to be reminded of decent human behavior. Just because we live in an age where it's easy to stalk someone doesn't mean you should. Again, this should be self-explanatory, but as it turns out, this basic sense of…

This Karen had absolutely no idea that she was making a scene at the wrong nail salon. Not only was the business owner adamant that the prices are made crystal clear before services are provided, but also the other customers were fiercely loyal and defensive of the business owner and the establishment in general. Clearly, this Karen was not paying attention when she kept asking for additional services while getting a manicure and threw a fit when she learned how much those services cost after t…

Everybody who has done their own DIY paint job knows that the paint you choose is going to look different once it's dry. That's just how paint works. You get a dark purple, it will probably dry lighter. You get a pale yellow, it will probably dry brighter, etc. Plus, the paint looks different in the sunlight, so if you have a sunny room, that's important to know. So always keep that in mind when you're picking your paint. Of course, there are DIYers who go into their projects not doing any rese…

People on power trips are just asking to make enemies in the workplace. Nine times out of ten, it is almost always easier to just be kind. To those of you who have previously fallen privy to the psychological effects of being in a position of power within the workplace hierarchy, do not doubt that everyone around you knows that you're in charge. There is no need to assert your authority any further when everyone already knows. It's not only redundant, but it's a waste of time, energy, and often…

Employees should always be allowed to stand up for themselves. In many workplaces, employees are expected to let customers do whatever they want. “The customer is always right,” is the motto. But as you know if you've worked in retail lately, customers aren't always right---instead, certain customers are riled up and ready to take their frustrations out on the next employee they see. This woman took her anger way too far in this video recorded by @davenewworld_2. While the video leaves out a lo…

Selling things online is a fickle business. It starts off fairly simple, you post an ad along with your contact info. You get a couple of replies, maybe get ghosted once or twice, perhaps a prank phone call or two. But the world of online business is a strange one, and it is bound to bring some pretty strange people to your doorstep if you are not careful. Here, in this case, OP posted an ad for a computer, stating the price of 900. Not one minute later, OP got a phone call. At first, everythin…

Some Karens may run their homes, and others may run businesses, but no Karen owns the public bathroom of a local mall. Somehow, this entitled lady seemed to think otherwise despite the current occupant of said public bathroom stall. This Redditor was doing her business when the Karen came knocking on the stall door and tapping her heels impatiently. OP told Karen there were plenty of other empty stalls for her to use, and there were. However, this Karen simply could not be bothered and refused…

Things can get serious when it comes to shrubberies, especially when you're going head-to-head against the local HOA's mode meddling member… or on a quest for the Holy Grail. Whether it's a Knight of Ni or an HOA Karen, you'd best have your wits about you when they come around making demands about shrubberies and their appearances. When you decide to go meddling with things that you ought not to be meddling with you, you need to be careful. And that's because you might send someone on the warpa…

It takes a special kind of person to disturb others on a flight. If it happens just once, of course, we let it slide. If it happens twice, we exchange glares to let that person know they need to get their act together. If it happens thrice or even more times, it's time to confront them or, at the very least, give them a taste of their own medicine. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/IndependentClub1117 , who was unfortunately seated directly in front of a Kevin. Th…

If this Karen's husband is, in fact, a lawyer, she should know that refusing to exchange your information after a collision means it's a hit-and-run. The original video was shared by @edward3jr , who unfortunately had to deal with this Karen after she bumped into their parked car. Like any Karen would, she claimed that their cars never touched despite clear evidence that says otherwise. That evidence includes dashcam footage depicting the impact and photo evidence of the aftermath. At first, th…

Every so often, there comes a time when you find yourself pulling a Karen for necessary reasons. This is not to condone Karen behavior, but rather to say that justified rage can sometimes be misinterpreted as Karen behavior, which is by definition unjustified. When you find yourself “pulling a Karen,” you often have the inclination to stop yourself from getting upset even though you have objectively been wronged in this situation. Sometimes, getting upset is not being a Karen. Sometimes, it's s…

Once you work in retail, there is no seeing the world as you once saw it, and it instead becomes a cold, bitter place, where people carry a sense of entitlement you cannot internally fathom is real. Customer service of any kind is at times, insufferable, but there are phases in life where you go through these frustrating jobs, only to find out that other jobs have those same people, except instead of customers, they are coworkers. OP told the all too familiar story of an entitled and snobby Kar…

The only thing more shocking than a stranger asking for your bracelet to give to her wailing child is that stranger's refusal to let it go after you say no. Seriously, this conversation lasted way longer than it needed to go, and in some ways, I applaud the Redditor for having the patience to put up with this entitled mother. If this were to happen to me, I would just put on my headphones and tune the Karen out. That being said, no one would want to have anything from my wardrobe, so I'm probab…

These employees were totally baffled by their CEO's recent decision. At least according to their update, they got some amazing results from a bad situation. U/ACFF has an amazing story to tell the r/ MaliciousCompliance community. It involves their bosses making a major change to their jobs, without realizing what they were actually doing. This happens so often with CEOs who barely do their job. Even though they make millions of dollars per year, some c-suite execs barely ever make it into the…
