Private events at restaurants are often riddled with miscommunications, false impressions, and rude guests/customers. One server took to Reddit, complaining about an entitled, elitist customer she'd come across at a sports event the restaurant she worked at, hosted. Organizers of such events generally relay important information to guests, but it usually lands on deaf ears. This was such a case. She was working with colored lanyards, so she knew which guests were to receive free refills on spir…

When “Get off my lawn!” evolves into “Get off the area adjacent to my lawn!” Maybe you shouldn't live next door to a school if you're this sensitive to the presence of children.

Customers are easily the worst part of any customer service job, followed closely by arrogant unqualified managers. The two make a dynamic duo when you're unfortunate enough to endure them simultaneously. The Karen, an unstoppable force of rage and fury, and the manager, an unmovable brick wall of utter density. Like Batman and the Joker, they are eternally locked in an endless struggle—and you're stuck in the middle. (It's no wonder that, in these industries, you spend most of your time off ju…

This woman decided to visit an expensive department store and spy on the other customers while they shopped. If only she had decided to mind her business, the internet wouldn't be roasting her ! After a shopping incident, Karen felt justified to post to r/AmItheA**hole – she was so sure she was in the right, but she just wanted to be sure. As she explains the story, she went for a shopping trip in Bloomingdales, and noticed two teen girls who found a pair of super expensive boots , and decided…

This department head is unbelievably out of touch with her employees . It seems like the more money people make in their jobs, the more they forget how hard it is to live on a low salary. This Head of Department Karen really hit a nerve with the employees working under her guidance. As she gave an employee update, she managed to say some truly baffling things to the call center team. U/peacesalaamz took to the r/talesfromcallcenters subreddit to share this story of their Head of Department , wh…

The number one rule in any work environment: be kind to the receptionist!

It's a race to the bottom in this latest story of petty revenge… We're all the heroes of our own story, and the mind has an impressive way of spinning a narrative so that it isn't at fault—especially when that narrative is going to be posted online for fake internet points. But, hey, it's my job to farm other people's fake-internet-point stories and give my own snazzy take on it for my own fake internet points—so I shouldn't be one to judge.

A woman purchased herself an extra seat on her flight for her own comfort and security. She explains in her story that she is a fairly large gal and prefers using this method when she travels so that she can have a comfortable distance from other people. Unfortunately, not everyone is so careful and considerate, and it wasn't long before an entitled couple showed up and decided to help themselves to the extra seat. The girlfriend was seated next to Large Gal's second seat, and the boyfriend dec…

If you have any experience working in the service industry then you already know it is a beacon for absolutely bonkers customers. You can't be a server, or bartender, or whatever without having several encounters with some of the most unbelievably rude people you have ever met. It's like, because you are serving them, you are now their jester. They don't understand that no, no it is absolutely not. In fact, all of us here at Failblog have our own horror stories from when we used to work in the…

Can I help you find anything? The exit perhaps?

Wherever there are parking spaces or driveways… there are bound to be neighbors feuding over them. It's just one of those territorial behaviors that have been ingrained in us since the monkey times… Monkey get big cube of metal. Monkey need place to keep big cube of metal. Other monkey move their cube of metal. Monkey take other monkey's metal cube keeping place. Other monkey mad. This story plays out time and time again, with an irrational neighbor insisting on parking in another (slightly les…

Faced with hangry Karens one too many times, this cashier has had enough. As they wrote to r/MaliciousCompliance, u/iceariina often rings up customers who don't quite know what they want. Lots of customers will come in to the burger joint they work at and order a cheeseburger, no cheese . But actually, you can save a quarter if you just order a hamburger. Does a Karen want to hear that? No, they never do! They just want a cheese-less cheeseburger. Since these Karens at the OP's workplace decide…

This job seems to check all the boxes of a toxic work environment.

It turns out nepo babies even have it easier when it comes to getting that first crappy job that we all have to have, but that doesn't mean you're actually going to be successful in the role. These “first jobs” usually consist of a workplace environment where "doing what you're told" is pretty much your only required skill. So not doing what you're told—because you're an entitled little turd of a human being—generally won't get you very far. That is unless your family has enough money and enoug…

This “proud owner of ‘Peanut’” should spend some time looking in the mirror to reflect on why she thinks herself to be above the rules. What stands out to me the most in the original poster's writing is the line, “I apologized and said the most convenient thing for me was to come here with Peanut.” The most convenient thing for her acknowledges

I'm all for adaptive experiences for people with disabilities… but when your only disability is that you're an absolute moron, it's kind of hard to accommodate you. Enter: This guy. The guy who didn't know that he'd need to know how to swim in order to partake in a snorkeling tour. The most hilarious part of this entire thing is that he specifically addresses the fact that he was annoyed the guide wouldn't “aid” him—what did he think the guide was going to do? Operate his arms and legs for him?…
