A Karen neighbor got into a feud with her neighbor who owned a motorcycle. According to the Original Poster (OP), who is a fellow neighbor and an observer of this feud, the whole neighborhood is fed up with Karen's behavior. Karen is well-known in the neighborhood for always complaining, as Karen's do, but this time she went too far. She was so upset over her neighbor's motorcycle, who, according to the OP, is pretty respectful with it, that she tried to run him down in the neighborhood. Now, t…

Typically, parents want to give their kids everything they could possibly want—or, more precisely, everything they need to be successful and happy. But what if your parents kept a record of every single expense they ever incurred on your behalf? Do you have to pay them back, or are they supposed to shoulder the cost of your upbringing? The account that follows is the story of an astonished girl. On her eighteenth birthday, the Original Poster (OP) received a lengthy and detailed document detail…

Living in an HOA neighborhood means you should not be surprised to find a nosy Karen or three. So what can you do when one decides that you are going to be the target of their explosive wrath and rage? If she's got the HOA laws on her side, fighting this would be an expensive mess. If you give in, sure, the Karen is going to win, but it's better to take the target off your back than submit to months of war. In short, it's just not worth it. Now, there are a few ways that you can give in while s…

Life is a roller coaster; there will always be good times and bad times. What matters most is knowing how to take care of yourself to the best of your ability, with the knowledge and resources you need at your fingertips. In the story that follows, a daughter is fighting her mother for money that is rightfully hers. For the most part of her life, the Original Poster (OP) has had difficulty getting along with her mother. However, following an unfortunate incident, OP went to court and was succes…

You think you're good at handling high-intensity situations until you encounter a Karen…

Every penny counts , according to this customer. A debate stirs up every few years over the abolishment of the penny. The humble one-cent coin is rather useless in today's day and age. Gone are the days of penny candy---even dollar stores are quickly becoming $3-$5 stores. There's very little you can purchase for a dollar, and with the current rate of inflation, there's little hope that it'll improve any time soon. Back to the penny debate: every so often, people will petition to get rid of the…

Funny stories about people who have entitlement complexes are common, and they keep us constantly reminded that reality never quite measures up to our expectations. That being said, the story that follows is that of a bewildered traveler. An attempt is made by the Original Poster (OP) to travel from Toronto to Vancouver in business class when a woman approaches OP as she is going about her own business and begs to trade seats with her so that she and her spouse can sit together. OP initially co…

This woman was really grasping at straws here! She refused to be ignored despite the fact that both parties knew she was in the wrong. First, her neighbor asked her to quiet down during a Halloween party when she and her guests were also crossing their property line. This was a decent and fair request. Then, she got defensive and accused the neighbor of trying to get back at her by messing with her packages. She even went so far as to call this guy's boss to try to get him in trouble. Of course…

Being stuck with a bad neighbor can make your living situation more like a hostage situation. Cornered by the prying eyes and rampant lies of a nosy neighbor, our next hero showcases the best way to deal with a resident Karen: Video evidence.

When will the Karens of the world understand that not every event is about them? It's wishful thinking at this point to imagine that sudden self-awareness is even possible, but we live to hope for another day. Thankfully, this performer/educator had enough confidence to confront Karen with facts and receipts after Karen tried to accuse her of being unfair. The Redditor who shared this story visited schools and gave performative lectures about the importance of saving water, using volunteers fro…

Now, it's fair to say that Oreos TM are a fantastic snack. I really think that Oreos TM are one of the most essential pillars of Americana. Without Oreos TM where would we be? It's hard to say. Oreos TM are great, but, as satisfying as licking the middle out of each Oreo TM before putting the cookie part back in the Oreo TM packaging for your significant other to discover later, I can't go as far as saying that I'd accost a random stranger outside a grocery store in order to claim their Oreos T…

It seems like Karens only comprehend service animals when it's them buying a vest online and using it for their untrained dog.

Of all the reasons to get kicked out of a country , this might be the most embarrassing. No vacation goes 100% perfectly—there are always a few hiccups. There are the tiny things, like planning to visit a popular spot, only to find out when you arrive that it's closed for the day. Then there are bigger issues, like that one family member who forgets their passport at home, and remembers once they're at the airport. It's not every day you encounter problems like this, though. A traveler got depo…

Be careful what you wish for, Karen! If you're the type of person who sends a drink back at a drive thru, let's clarify a few things first, starting with what are you asking for. If it's a major modification to the menu or an innocent mistake, perhaps reconsider, especially if the line behind you lasts an eternity. This is not a Michelin star restaurant; it's a drive thru. Second of all, remember the old “you get what you get and you don't get upset” saying? That doesn't just apply to your kid,…

This Karen literally did all of this to herself. First, she marched into a popular Mexican restaurant with approximately 15 teenagers behind her, threw down her credit card, and let all these kids order whatever they wanted. Her abrasive behavior had already ticked off the manager and the other employees at the restaurant, so they were happy to see these teens order more than their fair share. By the time the manager gave the Karen a $250 bill, things started to get way more heated. For one, sh…

This call center worker has a really great idea for dealing with their most irritating customers . When you work in a call center, you deal with people from every walk of life, from youngsters to oldsters, from people who have worked customer service jobs before, to those who want their every whim catered to. People aren't calling for a friendly chat, either: they're usually having difficulties and want their issues fixed as quickly as humanly possible. These people are already at their whits'…
