It should come as no surprise that the comments teachers make can haunt you forever. Sure, there are the words of encouragement that can empower you to pursue a particular path, but there are also the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle insults that can damage someone’s self-esteem. The only positive outcome that can arise from dealing with these unfortunate comments is if they become a motivator for you as you continue to do what you want and be who you are despite what a silly authority figure…

If the airline industry needed a poster child for what “bad airplane edict” looked like, they found one. Sometimes it is simply mindblowing how impolite and utterly repulsive someone can be. Like, can you not see what you are doing? You are very obviously acting like a child, but you are a grown adult. Do you not know that you are a grown adult and are expected to act as thus? What a world…

If you work in a customer-facing role, you have probably collected a treasure trove of experiences with Karens. Perhaps you have had far more upsetting encounters with these infuriating individuals than you would have liked. Or perhaps you find the whole thing entertaining and are able to handle these kinds of entitled humans without very much emotional damage along the way. If that's the case, then you are a far more well-adjusted adult than I could ever be. That's because when I encounter Kar…

When you purchase a property, do you intend to follow all the unwritten rules that other neighbors feel “grandfathered” into? What if those rules get your car dinged up or your dog loose? The entitlement to your own private property can be intimidating. And if your good old-fashioned neighborly intimidation tactics don't work, then some extremely entitled neighbors might take it too far. Perhaps even going against the law.

She had it coming! People who seek the assistance of customer service representatives should take a moment to check their egos at the door before getting on the phone. No one needs to know how important you are to help sign you up for the right insurance plan. What you do need to do, however, is be patient and listen because these folks have the ability to make things a lot easier or difficult for you depending on how you choose to behave. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousComplianc…

This service provider tried a lot of different ways, but they couldn't convince one customer that she was wrong . As case worker at an internet service provider, this person had to work with all types of customers. If you've worked in a customer service role for even a day, you'll know that people are not always kind to the person on the other end of the phone. In fact, some people are under the impression that the louder they talk, the better their results will be. This person, u/JimmyRecard,…

If there is one thing sure in life, it's that Karens are gonna Karen. There's no stopping it. If they have their eyes on the tantrum-prize, nothing can simmer down that entitlement bubbling up inside. One theory is that Karens have zero empathy; they are simply unable to see anything from anyone else's point of view. Makes sense, really, once you see them in the wild.

Sometimes you can repeat yourself a thousand times and be as crystal clear as possible, and someone will still misunderstand you. Like, how much more do you need to spell it out? You literally spelled it out with written words multiple times. You would think this only happens from time to time, but nope. It happens all the time! It seemed to happen recently when these veteran homeowners sold their house to some first-time homebuyers. Now, they're not trying to play the blame game here, where th…

This woman was very upset at the state of her lawn . She did not hold back while scolding the people who caused it… but they were a little confused about why she was so upset in the first place. The OP of this story, u/Emergency_Reason_242, has an important job as a disaster relief volunteer . These are the people who show up after a town has been demolished by a hurricane, a devastating flood, or a tornado. For residents of these towns, life transforms overnight. Instead of living their lives…

Isn't it just a kick in the teeth when you really go out of your way to help someone and they aren't even grateful? Or worse, they totally take advantage of your kindness? That knife in your back feels even worse when it's from your own family. But, family drama is no mystery to the world and happens often. Take this woman, for example, who recently cut her own sister out of her life. Her sister was a struggling mother of three, so she went out of her way to help her as best as she could. She d…

Always be careful who you're sending your messages to, especially at work! One would think this is a self-explanatory warning and not something that needs to be stated, but it turns out some coworkers out there really are that reckless. Here, we have a Karen coworker who liked to boss others around, especially this Redditor who was fully on her level within the hierarchy of their company. Karen told her to take lunch at 11 am, but something came up and OP switched lunch times with another emplo…

When a fight between two customers breaks out in a place like a restaurant or a bar, there are a few ways in which that scenario could end. Either both customers get kicked out, one of them gets kicked out, or none of them. In my time as a waitress, I had to ask a few customers to leave the restaurant, and it was never a pleasant experience. Most people just won't accept that they are in the wrong, no matter how much you try to calmly explain to them what is the problem. This Reddit story is ac…

Sometimes you need to quit because you're not getting paid enough for the work you do. Sometimes you are getting paid well for the work you do, maybe even over the usual market value for your position, but if the work environment is making you miserable, you still need to quit. Obviously, it's up to you, do whatever you want, but are you seriously okay with having to endure such a volatile place for such a a huge chunk of your life? One banker said enough is enough. She had been working at this…

Whatever happened to decent customers with acceptable behavior? Everyone understands that people have their bad days or perhaps they're in a hurry and need something quickly. Still, no single person's busy schedule should allow for unacceptable comments and nasty rhetoric. This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Outrageous-Gene-607 , a teenager who now has a full understanding of the dark truth about the Karens of the world. OP's mother created hand-made gymnastics suits for a living, and one day…

At a certain point, ordering a specific dish without the vital components that make it that specific dish in the first place becomes pretty pointless. For example, if you order a cheeseburger without cheese, it's just a hamburger; and if you order eggs benedict without hollandaise sauce , that's just poached eggs on a bun; and if you order a Ceasar salad without anchovies, you're just going to get a few lettuce leaves and croutons on a plate.

Just like Peter Pan, some folks will never grow up. Sure, the idea of what it means to be a grown-up is mainly shaped by societal expectations. For instance, what do you mean I can’t have Pop-Tarts for breakfast or Pop-Tarts for dinner or Pop-Tarts at all times? Since I am technically an adult somehow, shouldn’t I be allowed to do whatever I want at this point? Clearly, many of us suffer from some form of arrested development. However, when these folks did not get what they wanted, they really…
