The only thing more shocking than a stranger asking for your bracelet to give to her wailing child is that stranger's refusal to let it go after you say no. Seriously, this conversation lasted way longer than it needed to go, and in some ways, I applaud the Redditor for having the patience to put up with this entitled mother. If this were to happen to me, I would just put on my headphones and tune the Karen out. That being said, no one would want to have anything from my wardrobe, so I'm probab…

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.

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…

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'…

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…

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…

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…

There are people in this world who have found a way to be simultaneously desperate and demanding. Whether it's negotiating a purchase or severely underpaying someone, the choosing beggars of the world still always manage to find ways to surprise us here at FAIL Blog. You always think you've seen it all until someone offers to pay a babysitter less than $3 an hour. It can be difficult to call choosing beggars out on their nonsense. Firstly, you have to be stern and confident. You have to know th…

Every so often, a neighborhood feud turns out to be mutually beneficial for both parties. Here, we've got a petty back-and-forth between this married couple and their Karen neighbor over the placement of a snow fence. Karen, who is new to the neighborhood, zip-tied said snow fence right along to the couple's gutters. After the husband cut it off and moved it back to her own yard, a feud officially started between the two households. What followed was a series of revenge moves that included Kare…

No amount of wealth should excuse any customer from the rules. Unfortunately, there are plenty of entitled rich folks out there with “influence” who seem to think otherwise.

On the most monotonous days as a server, sometimes a wholesome act of kindness can make one's entire shift infinitely better. People don't tend to extend those kindnesses enough in the cutthroat world of customer service. Instead, servers and bartenders often have to deal with a slew of Karen customers, loud children, and entitled parents. Some of these more wholesome moments were compiled from the top posts this week on Reddit's r/TalesFromYourServer subreddit. These anecdotes included an anno…
