'After those remarks I couldn't take it': Airbnb Karens demand water tank repairman clear entire schedule for them, he refuses, forcing them to leave the house

There will always be people in this world who confuse you providing a contracted service for them with you being their full-time employee. What does this phenomenon boil down to at the end of the day? Well, folks, the answer to that is totally pure entitlement. That's what this vacation family of 18 had, specifically the two grandmother Karens who were communicating with this Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. OP had a side hustle running hot…

'I don't have to do half of my job anymore': Part-time grocery worker asks for raise after halting extra work

As a grocery store employee , this part-time worker is known for taking on additional work to make the store run smoother. You'd think that would make them the ideal employee! But at this grocery store , that's just not how things work. As the OP explained in their story, they work very hard at their job, doing tasks that honestly sound like managerial work, like adjusting inventory or handling deliveries. Despite that, they still did all these things happily, until a new boss decided to step i…

'I have a right to my opinion!': Top Karens of the Week (September 18, 2023)

Everyone might be entitled to their opinion, but it takes a special person to want to enforce their opinion on everyone around them. Obviously, there are certain environments in which an authority figure in the room is given that privilege, such as a boss or the manager of a store, etc. However, the Karens and Kevins of the world seem to think that it doesn't matter where they are, who they're with, and what they're doing. They are always right, which means that you are always wrong. This week'…

'Neighbor wanted the fence fix[ed], we just removed the fence': Neighbors insist couple next door fix their fence, couple contacts city inspector instead

It costs zero dollars to mind your own business. Natural disasters caused by hurricanes, windstorms , and floods are no joke. They will destroy a house with ease, leaving the residents to clean up the mess. Depending on your location, you might have to deal with natural disasters all the time. For example, places like New Orleans or the Florida coastlines are subjected to hurricane conditions and flooding on a yearly basis. For people in these areas, rebuilding can be a consistent effort.

'Who hasn't checked in yet?': Kevin tries to steal another hotel room for his kids, front desk agent holds her own

'Who hasn't checked in yet?': Kevin tries to steal another hotel room for his kids, front desk agent holds her own

Apparently, one hotel suite complete with one king-sized bed and one pull-out couch would not be enough for this entitled Kevin. He threw a fit when the front desk agent informed him that the hotel was entirely booked and that she would not be able to offer him a second room for his two children. Mind you, the suite he did reserve was more than enough space for his family of four, and he must have known this when he made the reservation in the first place. Even a bystander waiting in line tried…

'YOU are the one with the problem, girl': Business Karen tries to sabotage neighboring coffee shop barista by accusing her of theft

'YOU are the one with the problem, girl': Business Karen tries to sabotage neighboring coffee shop barista by accusing her of theft

You do not want to get into business with this Karen. In fact, you do not want your business to be anywhere near her business. Otherwise, she'll be under the impression that she is in charge of you and will therefore start making ridiculous demands as if she's your employer. Of course, this wasn't the case, but in a Karen's warped perspective of the world, facts do not seem to matter. This two-part thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/beverage5997 , who spoke of numerou…

'So you have nothing else to do with your day?': Woman repeatedly confronts skaters and bikers who are minding their own business

These kids aren't bothering anyone… except for one person. They are bothering one singular person. A jogger was captured in a series of videos where she appears to confront skateboarders and bicyclists. She's accosting them for simply riding their skateboards and bikes out in public. Yes, this is frowned upon in some areas, but there are parks to practice in and plenty of benches and sidewalks to show off your skills. Since NYC is such a bustling place, it's easy enough to skate or bike whereve…

'I apologize on behalf of my Dad': Children of Karens and Kevins share 20+ embarrassing stories

It's easy to feel bad for servers and employees who have to deal with Karen customers on a regular basis, but not enough attention is given to the poor children of these unhinged people. They have to deal with that level of entitlement daily and overcome stomaching one embarrassing encounter after another. They probably feel sick every time they have to go anywhere with Mama Karen or Papa Kevin. Meanwhile, these kids are also spending every waking moment worried that one day, they might take on…

'Karen has left her car overnight on... 585 separate occasions': College dorm employee who thinks they're 'above the rules' forced to issue themself a $70 fine, gets expensive pay back on colleague

One of the least-liked staff members at this college dorm was thrilled to point out when other people broke the rules. Then, when it was her own fault she broke the rules, she backpedaled. Even if you strive to have a gossip-free and peaceful workplace, people like the Karen in this story make it hard to keep the peace. When an employee decides they're better than their colleagues , and decides to police their every move, you'd better believe that every other worker is going to avoid that perso…
