There is nothing worse than watching an unruly customer take their unnecessary frustrations out on an innocent server, as if it's part of their job to deal with abhorrent individuals. In short, it shouldn't be, and nine times out of ten, if you're a bystander in this situation, you can do more than stay out of the fray. Here, we have a kind Midwestern family who went out to a nice dinner at a local steakhouse. Their meal was practically ruined as a result of the family of Karens nearby, who mad…

I'm sorry, I didn't know you owned the plane!

Nosy neighbors are known to be envious of lots of items belonging to other folks in the neighborhood, but sand is not typically one of those items. This Redditor and her husband kept an 80 lb bag of sand on their parking strip and had been meaning to move it for quite some time now but hadn't gotten around to it just yet. Still, it shouldn't have been an issue considering the fact that it was still very much on their own property. Cut to one random morning when the Redditor's husband noticed so…

Don't you just love it when someone makes a scene only to discover that they were in the wrong the entire time? This Karen waltzed up to the front desk of a hotel and claimed she did not owe anything because when she booked her reservation, she paid in advance. She even threw out the classic “I've been doing this for a long time” line to the concierge. The reality is that the front desk agent had also been doing this for a long time and could immediately sense that this woman still owed $99. Af…

What in tarnation is “food shaming”????

Be careful what you post on your local town's social media groups! This Karen customer could not wait in line to be helped at a home supply and maintenance store. She and her husband threw a tantrum and, after leaving the store, did not stop there. The Karen decided to review the store on her small town's Facebook group, embellishing her story so as to make it seem that all the employees at the store are unhelpful and lazy. Well, word got around and one of the employees saw the post. Thankfully…

“When you reserve a seat, it is yours. There should never even have to be a discussion about it.”

A little patience can go a long way.

There are some principles that are worth standing one's ground on and others where it's probably best not to engage further. Unfortunately, the ability for the Karens of the world to pick and choose their battles is not really existent, as they seem to be in battle mode 90% of the time. This Karen was asked if she wanted exact change back after ordering an ice cream milkshake at a well-known establishment. There was a shortage of change and the server was instructed by his manager to ask custom…

What are the professional rules on “take-backsies”?

Messing with a Karen is the kind of bold choice that is bound to have unforeseen consequences. These audacious folks are not the kinds of people to give up, admit wrongdoing, or go down without a fight. Here, we have a resident who never really had a problem with his neighbor until the fence surrounding his backyard suddenly collapsed. Following the incident, the resident could now see into his next-door neighbor's backyard and saw the piles and piles of heavy garbage that were at one point lin…

When you have pets or a lot of plants, or just generally want to make sure that there's someone there watching your things, you might call upon a house sitter. Usually this person will gladly take the chance to live in your place, even just to have a “staycation” away from their normal living arrangements. More recently, there have even been people chaining together these types of arrangements in order to live rent free for a period of time.

Kindness can go a long way, but so can pettiness.

Are you planning on hiring a professional for some work around your home? Then you better read up!

The only thing that can ruin a restaurant meal more than bad food is the presence of an unruly customer. Sometimes, they are clearly lonely and enjoy eavesdropping and inserting themselves into your dinner conversations. When this happens, you tend to indulge them with a few polite exchanges, only to realize that you are going to have to endure this for the next 45 minutes (at least) because you are simply too simply polite to ask them to leave you alone. Other times, your meal is interrupted b…

Apparently, this entitled neighbor has never heard of the teachings of Sir Isaac Newton…
