'Rules are rules, sweetie': Beachgoers tell lifeguard to enforce the rules, lifeguard finds petty rules to enforce on them

This beach is full of old money folks who are used to getting their way. As u/fumples explained in their story to r/MaliciousCompliance, they had to deal with some rather irritating women who made it their goal to police everybody at the beach . Going to the shore for a summer vacation is the highlight of the summer for those who live along the coast. It's common for families to plan a few days of relaxation at the beach, where the kids can build sandcastles and play in the waves, while the adu…

New car buyer won't pay for pinstriped vehicle, dealership repaints his car overnight

'I went full Karen mode': New car haggler refuses to pay for pinstriped vehicle, dealership repaints his car overnight

Looking back on their new purchase in the 1990s, this person realized the car dealership got away with something intriguing. This is a story of a person buying a car in the 1990s, and one of the first things they claim is that these days, the “era of haggling” is over. Though I've never bought a car, I find that hard to believe. When purchasing a car, it's well known that people like to haggle with the salespeople to try and get a great deal for themselves. Meanwhile, the salespeople often have…

'I lived the dream': Dude gets revenge on raging Karen demanding his assistance

It's easy to get lost in a fantasy about putting an entitled person in their place—though the perfect response usually doesn't come to you in the moment, but rather when you're in the shower sometime later. There, in a dream daze fueled by hot-running water, your wits are sharpened to a knife's edge, and the resulting clarity brings forth the cutting remark you wish you'd thought of earlier. Seldom do you get the chance to live this fantasy out and take your adversary to task—but this guy claim…

bartender calling-in-sick sick mother mom mommy boss voice calling-out sick-day work bar pub uk customers karen

'You shouldn't be here': Bartender calls in sick, but boss forces him to come to work anyways; gets saved by boss's mother who pulls the 'mom' card to send him home

Being sick as a little kid isn't so bad because you have Mom around to feed you soup, press her hand on your forehead, and tuck you in for a nap. If she says you're too sick to go out, you're too sick to go out. As an adult, you're forced to gauge your own illness, which, as mother always said, means you're going to be sick for weeks. In this case, OP tried to do the right thing by calling in sick to work, but his unyielding boss wouldn't allow it.

Some people just wake up entitled, convinced they're better than everyone else. And these people love to bug retail workers until they lose their minds, as u/amaranthinenightmare shared in their story to r/MaliciousCompliance. The woman in this story is every retail worker's nightmare . She's the kind of person who shows up at 7:45am to bang on the windows of the store until it opens at 8am. She's the type who will unfold all the clothes the employees just folded, only to then demand you find h…

'You're a terrible manager!': Karen accosts random dude after incorrectly assuming he is the restaurant's manager, gets served

'You're a terrible manager!': Karen accosts random dude after incorrectly assuming he is the restaurant's manager, gets served

It turns out we might not be very good at doing a job that isn't actually ours, and that shouldn't come as much of a surprise, except to people like this Karen who refuse to listen to you when you tell them that you don't actually work there. Sure, we've all probably mistaken a complete stranger for an employee of the establishment we're patronizing, but continuing to insist that they must work there and are doing their job poorly after being corrected is downright insane. This college student…

‘Don’t mess with my laundry': Resident bleaches neighbor's clothes after they mess with her laundry, neighbor moves out

Doing laundry in your own building is super convenient unless you have a pesky neighbor trying to save a few bucks. In this case, OP was living in an apartment building with too few laundry rooms. There was only one single washer/dryer set per floor with about 12 units in a 3-story building. OP went about doing their laundry, until one day they found their soapy load on the floor of the laundry room with the final minutes of their cycle counting down. To say that they were livid would be an und…

'I was almost FIRED for doing my job!': Employee refuses to sign unfair write-up, his act of justified rebellion catches the eye of another department and gets promoted

What do you do when your toxic workplace calls you out for something you didn't do? You happen to be surrounded by incompetent upper management and they try to blame all of their mistakes on you. They get away with it so much, that one day they even try to get you to sign an official document that says everything was 100% your fault and not the fault of their horribleness. Do you sign it? We really hope you said, “heck no!” That is behavior that should not be tolerated in any place, especially…

'That is so selfish of you!': Karen neighbor gets mad at farmer for harvesting their crop that she wanted to steal

In kindergarten, you learn that you can't have something just because you want it. Like when you wanted Stewart's red ball, but he refused to share, after taking it anyways and subsequently refusing to apologize, you probably found yourself in timeout in a tiny chair in the corner as negative reinforcement of the fact that you shouldn't take things that aren't yours… Wherever you are now, we hope you're doing well, and we hope that Stewart is no longer having to fend off bullies who want to tak…
