‘She made it sound like we destroyed the place’: Airbnb host charges guests a $70 cleaning fee, then leaves them a bad review for not cleaning up, guests seek payback

‘She made it sound like we destroyed the place’: Airbnb host charges guests a $70 cleaning fee, then leaves them a bad review for not cleaning up, guests seek payback

As much as people love to talk about how great Airbnb is, there is also a lot wrong with that concept, starting with the people who become hosts. Everywhere you go, you'll hear at least one horror story of an Airbnb host who overcharged, gave terrible reviews, or even put up a hidden camera in the bathroom (if you know you know).

'Traumatizing her the way she did my coworkers and I still makes me smile years later': Entitled customer who always makes a scene gets a taste of her own medicine from retail employee at her workplace

If you've ever worked in retail , you know the struggle of dealing with that one customer.

She'd yell, she'd argue, and she'd make everyone's day a whole lot worse. Just because she could. But fate h…

Entitled family takes already claimed theatre seats and refuses to give them up, gets karmic reward for their actions: 'They're not giving the seats up.'

There's a certain etiquette involved when it comes to enjoying public entertainment… even if you'd paid to view it, and no matter how much you have paid to view it, you should not do anything that detracts from others' enjoyment of the event. Not only has it become commonplace for concertgoers to eclipse the view of those behind them with cell phones and signs, but it has also become far more commonplace for concertgoers to shriek lyrics passionately at the top of their lungs, drowning out the…

'Be careful what you complain about': Entitled customer throws tantrum over internet speed, demanding higher quality than what he's paying, employee maliciously complies and readjusts speed

It takes a whole lot of audacity to complain about not having something you're not properly paying for… This entitled customer recently downgraded his internet speed from 500 mpbs to 100 because he wanted a cheaper plan. Well, as a result, this had consequences on the quality of his Wi-Fi connection. Of course, when you're a Karen, you don't necessarily have the capacity to put two and two together and realize that this is what you get for downgrading to a cheaper plan. He wound up complaining…
