One of the common threads that unite the horrible bosses, entitled parents, and over-the-top Karens of the world is the wildly out-of-touch remark they are wont to make on a daily basis. Nine times out of ten, these comments have something to do with privilege and/or money because of course they do. It's remarkable how people with all the opportunities at their fingertips can forget what it's like to not have those opportunities. Surely, not all of these individuals have had that level of wealt…

Communication is the secret to success. Communication is the key to finding solutions for many issues. The story that follows shows how effective communication can, in certain situations, result in an early issue diagnosis. Below is the account of a pleased youth soccer team coach. OP recalls participating in the municipal recreation league a few years back. There were two fields accessible at the time: one was a large, well-kept, very distant field with enough seating for parents watching thei…

Public transport is a great way to get around in cities that have properly invested in it. If you live in one of these cities, chances are you just take for granted how seamless an effective public transport system can be for getting around the city easily. For those of us who live in cities where public transport is mismanaged or underfunded risking being late for work because the bus was 20 minutes late or just didn't show up makes it not worth it. When we visit those cities with working publ…

Is it ever acceptable for a customer to exhibit entitled behavior, also known as "Karen" behavior? You can argue different ways on this one, but in this story, the customer's behavior was unwarranted. When you pay for a service, such as electricity, Wi-Fi, dry cleaning, or any other service for that matter, you are obligated to pay in return. If you stop paying the company, you cannot expect them to continue catering to your needs, which is what the entitled customer in this story believes.

Working in customer service already puts a beacon on you to attract all kinds of Karen and Kyle customers ready to through a tantrum. If you think working in hotels and restaurants provides the most Karen encounters, then you don't know about people who work in customer service for government programs…

For some reason, the Karens of the world feel a sense of self-fulfillment when they bully everyone around them, stomping on the necks of every minimum wage worker that they can get their claws into. The unlucky few that get caught in the destructive path of a rampaging Karen often find themselves finding every desire to knock them down a few pegs, which is exactly what the gas station patron in our next story managed to pull off.

There is nothing like watching a line-cutter get some much-deserved karma. As much as we'd like this kind of circumstance to be a regular occurrence, the reality is that these moments of justified comeuppance are few and far between. So when these rare but special moments do arise, we have to embrace them wholeheartedly and remember the feeling of warmth that we feel when entitled people feel the wrath of karma rearing its head. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit…

These diners bet against Mother Nature and lost badly. That's what happens when you think you know better than everyone around you! The weather is not something any of us can control. If we could, we'd happily stop hurricanes and tornados in their tracks. But of course, human beings can't stop hundreds of thousands of raindrops or snowflakes from falling to Earth. It's halfway through the 2020s, if we could have this technology, someone would've invented it by now. No, all we have for now is um…

At certain times in your life—particularly when things have gone sideways—it's important to take ownership of the fact that your own actions and decisions are the things that got you there. Unfortunately, most of us struggle with this and, as a matter of self-preservation, will seek to displace blame towards anyone or anything that we can point a finger at. Sometimes, this displacement is plausible, reasonable even, but at other times, it can get unreasonably ridiculous… Tell me again, Carl, ab…

When someone uses the phrase “So sue me,” they're really saying, “I know you're not going to sue me, so you might as well just deal with my terrible behavior.” What they often don't realize is that you might actually want to sue them

While all customer service is tough due to the challenging task of dealing with the unpredictable members of the public, delivery drivers have it particularly rough, owing to the fact that they have to consistently interact with these same people whose absurd entitlement is amplified by the proximity of their homes. If you thought that Karen was a doozy to deal with at the customer service desk at Home Depot, just wait until you see how she treats the poor bloke who has to deliver something rig…

Who hasn’t come across an entitled Karen who seems to blame everyone else for their mistakes? Sure, this flower company should have delivered Karen’s order much sooner, but perhaps all of that could have been prevented if Karen had inputted the correct address on the order in the first place. No matter how hard she tries, and you will see that she did try, Karen has no one to blame for that egregious error but herself. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/F***YouKaren subreddit and includes the…

Some people weren't ever taught that they can't always have things their way—and it shows… These days, being a preferred platinum, premium, premier, or bumbercrum-level customer really doesn't mean much of anything. Companies don't even really go through much to disguise this, either. Back in the day, if you did enough business with a company to achieve bundersnoot-level status, they'd give you actual upgrades and treatment that meant something. These days, you'll be lucky to get a pen, but it'…

You can't be picky and complain about prices. That's too much Karen energy for one body.

We all want to keep things and not pay for them, but you can’t have it both ways. Here, we have a lady who literally tried to argue her way out of having to pay for a recently deceased family member’s grave. Her excuse was that she didn’t receive an official bill despite signing a collection letter over a month ago declaring when she would send payment. This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/According-Sugar-520 , who we’re sure has had to deal with delicate emotional…

Mama Bears are the fiercest competitor at the store, collecting goods and gifts for their offspring. However, as they're vying for front-of-the-line positions, fighting for special deals, and demanding that retail employees jump through hoops for the purchases, mothers can quickly transform into Karens.
