Sometimes having a thorough knowledge of the law can work in your favor. Actually, come to think about it, I can't imagine a time where it wouldn't be handy to be well educated on the laws are you… (I will be Googling some things after this.) You never know when someone might be trying to pull a fast one over you and make you think something is the law, when, in fact, it is not and they are just using “the law” as a tactic to do whatever they want. A retired detective recently shared a story of…

One of these days, it'd be nice to step into the shoes of a real-life choosing beggar. Before you judge me, hear me out. As someone with very little audacity, it would be a fulfilling experience just to walk in someone else's shoes for a day and feel entitled to everything I wanted. I'm not saying I'd like to live like this for the rest of my life. If I did, I'd probably end up alone, embittered, and with no friends. However, just for a day, I want to know what it's like to walk into a room and…

There's a certain kind of satisfaction that comes with giving demanding customers a hard time, but there's also the satisfaction that comes with giving them exactly what they asked for. It takes a specific kind of person to order food at a restaurant and immediately threaten the server before they've done anything wrong yet. It's as if they're asking to be messed with in some way, which is exactly what happened with this demanding customer who we will refer to, unsurprisingly, as Karen. Karen i…

People will go to any length and make every attempt to turn even the most petty situations to their advantage. Just a single trip to any busy parking lot will show you this, with desperate drivers doing anything in their power to secure a spot, even getting their passengers to jump out of the vehicle to stand in front of it and (hopefully) prevent anyone from getting there first, whilst engaging in outrageous displays of behavior from within the safety of their oversized vehicles. Of course, on…

Neighbors are only good for three things: occasional company, dog sitting, and gossip.

Living next to neighbors offers a great sense of community along with lessons in mutual respect and reciprocation, but—depending on whom you're residing next to—it can also be a living nightmare. Getting stuck next to the wrong individual can be all it takes to turn a peaceful life upside down and send it on a one-way fast pass to Suffertown. It doesn't matter how peaceable of an individual you are: days, weeks, months, even years of living next to inconsiderate neighbors is enough to send anyo…

Some people never seem to understand that rules apply to them. It's as if they were never told “no” as a child and have since created some sort of warped alternative reality where their own rules are law and nothing else matters. In some ways, one might seem envious of this way of life. However, it's all fine and good until an authority figure reminds you that this is not La La Land. This is the real world, and in the real world, you need to have a driver's license in order to drive a car. We k…

Hair stylists do an amazing job at making you look your best, but they aren't miracle workers. Not every hairstyle can be accomplished in one day, as this customer found out. Apparently, one recent hair trend has been women who want to have Kim Kardashian's long silvery-gray hair. What they don't know is that it's most likely a wig…and their own hair will take a lot of processing to achieve the same color as Kim. At least these women know what style they want for their hair! It's always good to…

This person learned an interesting tip from about getting what you want as a guest. As u/badgermann writes, their wife worked at the “central switchboard for a group of resort hotels in a tourist area." While you're vacationing, you want everything to run smoothly. Instead of dealing with the humdrum of daily life, all you really want is to be sprawled out on the beach with a good book and no responsibilities whatsoever. However, if you have traveled on vacation even a single time, you know tha…

Job applicants often forget that they have more power than people think they do. In this case, we have a candidate who was lucky enough to be in a more choosy position with their job search. For instance, if a potential employer refused to disclose important information like salary from the get-go, this Redditor would withdraw their application immediately. Power to you, sir! Here's where things got messy. This one hiring manager had been messaging the applicant and requesting more information…

Summer may have some people out and about, but that also means that the Karens of the world are ready to make a scene. As we all know, they tend to love a public setting to throw their tantrums. They often request to speak to the manager, and they always seek out preferential treatment. They also love causing grief for their neighbors or making assumptions about strangers or matters they couldn't possibly understand. After all, the world does revolve around the Karens of the universe. How can w…

Good afternoon passengers, this is the pre-boarding announcement for all travelers heading to GetWrecked City. Please fasten your seatbelts for this in-flight entertainment.

It's remarkable how people can be demanding and desperate at the same time. One has to wonder what possesses these choosing beggars to be so audacious. Not that I am envious of this complete lack of self-awareness, but I do have to consider what life would be like if I had that level of confidence to just demand things with literally no leverage whatsoever. Perhaps there's a “nothing left to lose” mentality that comes with being a choosing beggar. Perhaps

We love when local Karens make up rules for the whole community to follow that simply do not exist. It's as if they live in their own tiny little universe where every thought that comes into their brain is not only factual but law . We've seen this situation transpire before with Karens involved in HOAs or neighbors who have ridiculous standards and procedures for everyone else to follow. In this scenario, which was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit, we have a Karen whose daughter was…

There's always that coworker who throws shade at everyone else for having boundaries at work.

There's nothing like a table full of Karens to make your first shift as a waiter the worst shift ever.
