'If I have to talk to you again, you have to sit in time-out for 10 minutes': 10+ Employees who got fired after getting petty with their most entitled customers

Think back to your first job and try to remember how you dealt with customers. Were you the polite type who tried to solve every situation without an argument, or were you the type to bring in your manager so you wouldn't flip out on that customer? Either type is fine, because let's face it, some customers are just the worst people. They have zero respect for the hard workers in retail positions, fast food jobs, or call center reps. All these customers can think about is themselves and their ow…

Karen customer gets banned from community group for not paying leader back £5: 'No pay, no participation'

As the old saying goes, if you don't pay, you can't play. This Karen was a member of a community group that hosted various activities in the local neighborhood, one of which was run by the Redditor. This activity in particular was only £5 per customer, and yet, this Karen refused to pay the amount. Perhaps it was on principle, but instead, she pretended it was because she was waiting for her next paycheck. Now, of course, we are sympathetic to folks in situations like this, but the facts did no…

Karen tries to claim ownership of the place she has been renting for 20 years: 'I pay rent, so I own this house'

Let's face it: paying rent stinks. It's like setting a pile of money on fire every week just for the privilege of surviving and oddly reminiscent of paying mob dues. You have virtually no rights to the home, along with virtually no guarantees, and in a lot of places, you can basically be asked to leave or pay more arbitrarily at virtually any point. Still, if you're fortunate enough to have a place of your own, you'll come to find that you're basically still just renting from the bank anyway, p…

'Take up 7 seats': 40-year-old Karen lets kids take up too much space on crowded train, passenger gives Karen a tough time for the next 20 minutes

'Take up 7 seats?': 40-year-old Karen lets kids take up too much space on crowded train, passenger gives Karen a tough time for the next 20 minutes

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

'Can you make her stop honking at me?': Entitled Karen refuses to wait for a green light, driver in front of her enlists help from neighbors to stop her

Incessant honking never helps. That's one rule everyone should learn when they start driving. Traffic is infuriating, but unless someone else is actively endangering other drivers or being reckless, there is no need to add fuel to the frustration. Your busy schedule is no more important than those of the other drivers on the road. In this scenario, however, we weren't even dealing with an insane traffic jam. It was a quiet evening in a suburban neighborhood, and because it was dark and there ha…

'Fine. Cancel the trip. The whole thing': Entitled Karen denied early boarding on flight, threatens to cancel the trip, gate agent maliciously complies

Boarding a flight can feel like an interminable process, especially if you have found yourself in the final boarding group. Sometimes, you try to position yourself at the gate so that you'll be the first person in line when your group is finally called, but people end up thinking you're already in line and you have to step aside because you are not, in fact, worthy enough of being in Groups 1 through 4. Here, we have an entitled Karen passenger who insisted on being bumped up to an earlier boar…

Karen gets upset about other dogs and their owners during official park "dog party": 'I have a right to be here'

I'm a dog lover and owner, but the first thing that I'll recognize about dog ownership is that a lot of people are wildly irresponsible with and about their pets. Still, it seems almost impossible to get things exactly right in the modern world of dog training and ownership; everywhere you look, there is conflicting advice and strategies that the people pushing them swear you must follow. Some are based on research and empirical evidence, while others are theoretical and hokey. And, yet, even t…
