Life is full of annoying inconveniences. It could be as minor as stepping outside just as it starts to downpour or as major as having to cancel plans because of a work thing (although, of course, sometimes that can be used to your advantage). Regardless, these mildly infuriating moments can be painful to endure as they're occurring, but they're often fun to recount after the fact. Moreover, when you discuss these mildly infuriating moments with friends and family, you're often met with a simila…

There are people in this world who have found a way to be simultaneously desperate and demanding. Whether it's negotiating a purchase or severely underpaying someone, the choosing beggars of the world still always manage to find ways to surprise us here at FAIL Blog. You always think you've seen it all until someone offers to pay a babysitter less than $3 an hour. It can be difficult to call choosing beggars out on their nonsense. Firstly, you have to be stern and confident. You have to know th…

Every so often, a neighborhood feud turns out to be mutually beneficial for both parties. Here, we've got a petty back-and-forth between this married couple and their Karen neighbor over the placement of a snow fence. Karen, who is new to the neighborhood, zip-tied said snow fence right along to the couple's gutters. After the husband cut it off and moved it back to her own yard, a feud officially started between the two households. What followed was a series of revenge moves that included Kare…

No amount of wealth should excuse any customer from the rules. Unfortunately, there are plenty of entitled rich folks out there with “influence” who seem to think otherwise.

Picking a fight with your neighbors can be tricky business. You run the risk of starting an all-out war with people you can never avoid and there's rarely ever any reward– except of course, when you can use the power of nature (and plausible deniability) to get the sweetest revenge on a Karen next door.

This Karen went on the offensive over a damaged fence, forcing her neighbor to take more drastic measures. A strong windstorm caused damage to a fence between two neighbors , this guy and his Karen neighbor. The insurance company wanted to wait until spring to repair it, but Karen didn't want to wait, so, she reported the damaged fence to the authorities to speed up the process. However, Karen had a hidden motive. She thought she could force the repairs to happen quickly, but she didn't know th…

On the most monotonous days as a server, sometimes a wholesome act of kindness can make one's entire shift infinitely better. People don't tend to extend those kindnesses enough in the cutthroat world of customer service. Instead, servers and bartenders often have to deal with a slew of Karen customers, loud children, and entitled parents. Some of these more wholesome moments were compiled from the top posts this week on Reddit's r/TalesFromYourServer subreddit. These anecdotes included an anno…

What does being neighborly even mean anymore? Especially when most of your neighbors are just self-absorbed, noisy, and nosy weirdos. It doesn't matter if you live in a relatively quiet suburb or an overly stimulating big city. Chances are you've probably dealt with a difficult neighbor at some point in your life. When I was living in my first New York City apartment as an adult, I once woke up in the middle of the night to someone repeatedly banging on my front door. My roommate and I were, of…

This woman made one key misstep while talking to a customer service representative . Calling customer service is not a task anyone looks forward to. Usually, you're contacting them because of a broken electronic or a warranty issue. Or perhaps, like this woman, you're calling about your broadband service. While customer service via phone has improved vastly over recent years, it's still a slog to wait around on hold for hours, especially if they're playing hold music. Worse still is when they p…

This Karen could not bother to wait a minute until this grocery store customer was done loading her food into her truck. Of course, Karen wanted something: the other woman's precious parking spot. Did she make it known to the woman that she was waiting? You betcha! Did she need to honk after just a few seconds of waiting? Of course not, but she wouldn't be a Karen then, now would she? Thankfully, this lady was not having any of Karen's nonsense. She shared her side of the story via this thread…

Pregnancy is intense. You gain 50lbs, your feet swell, your back hurts, and strangers are always trying to touch your belly– but what a lot of people forget is particularly exhausting, is that you have to carry on with regular life anyways! So even though you're a walking, talking baby factory, life goes on.

The story that follows is a poetic, almost mythological, series of events that highlights the importance of not being impulsive and controlling one's temper—and of the folly to which pursuing a path of vengeance can lead… We've all probably been here at some point, wearily wandering out of the supermarket towards our vehicle, groceries in hand, laboriously making our way toward our vehicle, keys ready in our one free hand. Approaching the car, you press the button on the doohickey to unlock the…

This woman decided to confront another driver , but she did it in the most awkward way imaginable. As with every story on the internet, there are at least two sides. But whoever holds the video camera has an advantage to tell their side of the story. This person just happened to catch one mom's odd behavior on camera, and shared the video with the world. The woman's claims are serious: she states that the driver of the car nearly hit her children. The woman asks for an apology from the driver,…

Just imagine the amount of embarrassment this lady could have avoided if she just minded her own business. When I'm at the grocery store, I have one purpose: to get what I need as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible, yet some people have way too much time on their hands. So much time, in fact, that they can confront other shoppers and insult the way they dress. This Karen felt entitled to do so because she was convinced that the other woman was an employee at the store. The woman, of…

What kind of neighbor complains about a problem that they fully started? Unfortunately, this seems to be an all-too-common occurrence. This Redditor and her husband had been living in a family-owned cottage for over ten years that included a private outside shower that they would occasionally use after a swim or an especially hard day of work. This was never a problem with anyone else in the neighborhood, as they probably didn't even know about it. However, when a Karen moved in next door, she…

Nothing will stop a Karen who's in need of her caffeine! The concept of a line? Not on her radar. How about being polite to the barista who's taking her order? Nope. What about patience? Forget about it. We don't expect patience from the Karens of the world. How foolish are we at this point? This is 2023, after all! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/HotSeaworthiness8479 , who was working at an understaffed coffee shop at the time that was also the most popular o…
