Caught trying to return a Halloween costume AFTER Halloween... SMH

Another Karen tantrum bites the dust!

As the old saying goes, if you don't pay, you can't play. This Karen was a member of a community group that hosted various activities in the local neighborhood, one of which was run by the Redditor. This activity in particular was only £5 per customer, and yet, this Karen refused to pay the amount. Perhaps it was on principle, but instead, she pretended it was because she was waiting for her next paycheck. Now, of course, we are sympathetic to folks in situations like this, but the facts did no…

Let's face it: paying rent stinks. It's like setting a pile of money on fire every week just for the privilege of surviving and oddly reminiscent of paying mob dues. You have virtually no rights to the home, along with virtually no guarantees, and in a lot of places, you can basically be asked to leave or pay more arbitrarily at virtually any point. Still, if you're fortunate enough to have a place of your own, you'll come to find that you're basically still just renting from the bank anyway, p…

Future in-laws seeking advice!

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

You can't just learn how to drive and not how to park...

Incessant honking never helps. That's one rule everyone should learn when they start driving. Traffic is infuriating, but unless someone else is actively endangering other drivers or being reckless, there is no need to add fuel to the frustration. Your busy schedule is no more important than those of the other drivers on the road. In this scenario, however, we weren't even dealing with an insane traffic jam. It was a quiet evening in a suburban neighborhood, and because it was dark and there ha…

Hotel guests say the darnedest things!

This snowboarder isn't going to let anything stop her from enjoying her time on the snowy hills! But one of her neighbors was determined to stop this kid from having a fun time in the snow, as u/Secret_Life_Shh told in her excellent story of petty revenge. Next, these employees got fired for some hilarious reasons , like one guy who “told me he couldn't really move fast (line cook) because his motorcycle boots were too heavy to walk in.”

Boarding a flight can feel like an interminable process, especially if you have found yourself in the final boarding group. Sometimes, you try to position yourself at the gate so that you'll be the first person in line when your group is finally called, but people end up thinking you're already in line and you have to step aside because you are not, in fact, worthy enough of being in Groups 1 through 4. Here, we have an entitled Karen passenger who insisted on being bumped up to an earlier boar…

You better be a good hotel guest, or else all the hotels in the neighborhood will gossip about you.

I'm a dog lover and owner, but the first thing that I'll recognize about dog ownership is that a lot of people are wildly irresponsible with and about their pets. Still, it seems almost impossible to get things exactly right in the modern world of dog training and ownership; everywhere you look, there is conflicting advice and strategies that the people pushing them swear you must follow. Some are based on research and empirical evidence, while others are theoretical and hokey. And, yet, even t…

"They fired me over email, while I was on vacation. I just can’t understand how people can treat someone like that."

Living in a co-op certainly has its advantages, but it also means that you may or may not be at the mercy of a building Karen. Here , we have a new tenant who just moved into her co-op in noisy midtown Manhattan two weeks prior. She threw a small housewarming get-together with ten people on a Friday night. These are all folks in their late twenties or early thirties who knew that this was a quiet, low-key event rather than some kind of rager. Unfortunately for the Redditor who hosted the event,…

What is the etiquette these days when it comes to public transport? Not to sound like an "old man shouting at clouds," but it really does seem like etiquette—along with mutual unspoken respect and other social decorum—has gone completely out the window. Still, along with that, and theoretically causal of the previous issue is that people just seem generally more entitled and individualistic, it's all about “me me me” and “what can be done that benefits me” rather than partaking in the upholding…
