Everyone has standards, but sometimes you have to be willing to forgo them. If you're in a desperate situation, it's not the time to start making demands, nor is it the time to be difficult. If you're having trouble getting what you need, there is a good chance that the situation boils down to you being the problem (as Taylor Swift would say). Recently, I found myself needing to travel to another state for a wedding but not being able to afford the astronomical flight prices. I found myself des…

Two can play this game.

The internet is totally divided over the case of two neighbors who are loudly feuding over the fence they share . In the age of social media, we often only see one side of the story. This leads to people being called out for their behavior, when there is missing information that adds more to our understanding of the story. This story of two neighbors is a perfect example of this, as the two sides have decided to battle it out both in person and through videos posted to social media . As you can…

There will always be people in this world who confuse you providing a contracted service for them with you being their full-time employee. What does this phenomenon boil down to at the end of the day? Well, folks, the answer to that is totally pure entitlement. That's what this vacation family of 18 had, specifically the two grandmother Karens who were communicating with this Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. OP had a side hustle running hot…

As a grocery store employee , this part-time worker is known for taking on additional work to make the store run smoother. You'd think that would make them the ideal employee! But at this grocery store , that's just not how things work. As the OP explained in their story, they work very hard at their job, doing tasks that honestly sound like managerial work, like adjusting inventory or handling deliveries. Despite that, they still did all these things happily, until a new boss decided to step i…

What do you get when you hire a Karen to pet-sit your cats, dogs, and… piranhas? A whole lot of crazy, that's what. From the very first encounter with this Reddit user and his mom, it was clear that Karen was trouble personified. She had a list of demands and complaints that would make any sane person run away. But against their better judgment, they decided to give her a chance, hoping she would prove them wrong. Spoiler alert: she didn't. Things took a fishy turn when he entrusted Karen with…

Everyone might be entitled to their opinion, but it takes a special person to want to enforce their opinion on everyone around them. Obviously, there are certain environments in which an authority figure in the room is given that privilege, such as a boss or the manager of a store, etc. However, the Karens and Kevins of the world seem to think that it doesn't matter where they are, who they're with, and what they're doing. They are always right, which means that you are always wrong. This week'…

It costs zero dollars to mind your own business. Natural disasters caused by hurricanes, windstorms , and floods are no joke. They will destroy a house with ease, leaving the residents to clean up the mess. Depending on your location, you might have to deal with natural disasters all the time. For example, places like New Orleans or the Florida coastlines are subjected to hurricane conditions and flooding on a yearly basis. For people in these areas, rebuilding can be a consistent effort. This…

Apparently, one hotel suite complete with one king-sized bed and one pull-out couch would not be enough for this entitled Kevin. He threw a fit when the front desk agent informed him that the hotel was entirely booked and that she would not be able to offer him a second room for his two children. Mind you, the suite he did reserve was more than enough space for his family of four, and he must have known this when he made the reservation in the first place. Even a bystander waiting in line tried…

Some customers won't ever be happy with the work your company does, no matter how well you actually do on their project. Take this woman, for example. She decided to take a broken electronic to an electronics repair store. The OP writes that this customer “didn't like the bill. She didn't like the work. She claimed that we'd broken something else.” Nothing they did was good enough for this cantankerous customer.

You do not want to get into business with this Karen. In fact, you do not want your business to be anywhere near her business. Otherwise, she'll be under the impression that she is in charge of you and will therefore start making ridiculous demands as if she's your employer. Of course, this wasn't the case, but in a Karen's warped perspective of the world, facts do not seem to matter. This two-part thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/beverage5997 , who spoke of numerou…

These kids aren't bothering anyone… except for one person. They are bothering one singular person. A jogger was captured in a series of videos where she appears to confront skateboarders and bicyclists. She's accosting them for simply riding their skateboards and bikes out in public. Yes, this is frowned upon in some areas, but there are parks to practice in and plenty of benches and sidewalks to show off your skills. Since NYC is such a bustling place, it's easy enough to skate or bike whereve…

It's easy to feel bad for servers and employees who have to deal with Karen customers on a regular basis, but not enough attention is given to the poor children of these unhinged people. They have to deal with that level of entitlement daily and overcome stomaching one embarrassing encounter after another. They probably feel sick every time they have to go anywhere with Mama Karen or Papa Kevin. Meanwhile, these kids are also spending every waking moment worried that one day, they might take on…

Is Lisa not capable of making her own lunch? Can you imagine being wired in such a way that you genuinely would feel entitled to your coworker's lunch?! Lisa wasn't even slightly senior to OP as far as we know, not that it would be ok if she were but we all know how horrible bosses can be. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/sxrllyya , who became known for making elaborate lunches and bringing them to the office. Now, as someone whose homemade office lunch is often…

One of the least-liked staff members at this college dorm was thrilled to point out when other people broke the rules. Then, when it was her own fault she broke the rules, she backpedaled. Even if you strive to have a gossip-free and peaceful workplace, people like the Karen in this story make it hard to keep the peace. When an employee decides they're better than their colleagues , and decides to police their every move, you'd better believe that every other worker is going to avoid that perso…

Life is full of annoying inconveniences. It could be as minor as stepping outside just as it starts to downpour or as major as having to cancel plans because of a work thing (although, of course, sometimes that can be used to your advantage). Regardless, these mildly infuriating moments can be painful to endure as they're occurring, but they're often fun to recount after the fact. Moreover, when you discuss these mildly infuriating moments with friends and family, you're often met with a simila…
