Customers demand an unholy amount of attention, clearly under the impression that they are the center of the universe and their every need must be doted on. Unfortunately for these Karens, they aren't the boss of everyone else. This Karen customer sent a feisty email to OP, who was the manager of an employee who made a simple mistake in delivering the wrong internet item to said Karen. OP offered his apologies and told the customer he would return the item at the company's expense, plus ship th…

This Karen thought that she could use the shoulder to skip a queue of traffic on the motorway, but when a semi-driver decided that he was going to have none of that and intervened, he caused her to crash into a conveniently placed police cruiser. The story was witnessed and shared to r/MaliciousCompliance by a truck driver, Redditor u/fmintar1. They shared this story to the popular subreddit to share how they got one up on this queue-dodging cretin. The types of people that do things like this…

We've all been on flights where families try to negotiate with other passengers so they can sit together.

The guy even ended up making a song and music video about the experience.

Pokemon cards are something that, at this point, are loved by kids and adults everywhere. As the original Pokemon has aged into adulthood, we've continued to share that joy with the youngsters. Of course, there are always going to be people who, thinking they're clever, seek to turn a profit off of the altruism of others, disguising their wants as needs and playing the victim card whenever possible to try and guilt trip people into giving them things beyond their better judgment. This must work…

There are glorious times in customer service when doing what the customer has asked necessitates doing technically nothing. It's a rare occurrence but oh-so-good when it happens to chance upon you. When this worker promised to give an angry Karen a refund, they did so by promising to refund the amount that it would cost them to park on the street: Nothing. This left the Karen happy to go merrily on their way, and with the problem now out of sight and out of mind, she was never the wiser. It's g…

Some people just want to make a scene.

There are a lot of challenging things about working retail, but by far, the most challenging is dealing with entitled customers. It never ceases to amaze, the types of people you encounter when working these jobs. The very idea of receiving the most base levels of “service” gets some people foaming at the mouth as they rabidly seek to wield the most assuredly strained semblance of power. This lust is blinding, and soon they turn to

Dealing with people is the worst part of any job. Even those who have somehow escaped a 9 to 5 existence and have managed to make a living or side hustle — doing gig or contract work — still have to deal with this.

Kids love Pokemon. The idea of training a powerful imaginary creature that equal parts lethal as they are adorable is intoxicating. As we grow up, the nostalgic element of the Poke-franchise evolves into a monetized machine. One Pokemon lover and volunteer childcare worker recently discovered exactly how tainted Pokemon trade can become when folks lose sight of the original pleasures of the game (ie: when Karens get involved).

Customer service has perhaps never been more wild, and customers are getting creative with how rude they are to employees - who are trying their best to keep their patience.

Spring is upon us, which means more fun and enjoyable outdoor activities. However, what comes with more time outdoors? Well, that would be more opportunities to run into some Karens in the wild.

Screw the trolley problem… How about the airline seat reclining problem as a thought experiment for ethical determination of one's actions? You're flying on an airline and have two choices: To recline your seat or not. Reclining your seat makes your experience more enjoyable but makes the experience of the person behind you twice as terrible as a result... Do you recline? Let's take this to more of extreme. Say, those “push the button” memes where you can get a million dollars for pressing a bi…

People love to complain about nothing!

“I know the law better than you,” insisted the American tourist who was visiting another country.
