'Do not interrupt me! I am the customer and the customer is always right': Customer service rep lets enraged customer waste her own time while she berates them

This customer decided to throw a huge fit at the exact the wrong time. Not that there's a right time for a customer to throw a fit… Unless you're a literal toddler or baby, no one is going to care about your hissy fit. You've got to “use your words,” as they say to children. When you're an adult, you're expected to act like one, yet so many adults just have total meltdowns when they're faced with issues that require them to talk to customer service reps. Customer service reps should get a lot o…

'I'm pretty sure she's complained about everyone with a dog': Entitled neighbor insists HOA control neighbor's grass growth

Just how much should you care about your neighbor's yard ? It all depends how well you can mind your business, which this woman has yet to do. Instead, she's content to stick her nose into everyone else's business, and she's trying to involve the local HOA, too. Most of us have a hundred things on our plate at any given time, between work, school, childcare or caring for parents, hobbies, and having a social life. We're often juggling so many things that it can be completely exhausting. But not…

'Enjoy the 80 foot double spite wall': Guy builds ugly fence to get even with neighbor's attempts to sabotage his construction work

'Enjoy the 80 foot double spite wall': Guy builds ugly fence to get even with neighbor's attempts to sabotage his construction work

Neighborhood feuds are never fun to be a part of but they are endlessly entertaining when you yourself are an objective third party. Here, it's obvious who was in the wrong, but at least the resident didn't allow his neighbor to walk all over him. For context, the resident in question hired construction workers to help with his roof project for his elderly father, who lived on his property. He had notified his neighbor well in advance about the construction work, and his neighbor agreed to allo…

'[He threw] his burger at the wall': Top ridiculous outbursts from entitled Karens and Kevins

'[He threw] his burger at the wall': Top ridiculous outbursts from entitled Karens and Kevins

The reality is that everyone has a short fuse once in a while and is therefore bound to have an unnecessary and potentially unprompted outburst. We suppose that it's human nature to snap… within reason, of course. For instance, who hasn't had a friend get snippy with you when clearly you intentionally or unintentionally struck a nerve? Usually, when this happens, you can take a step back and both parties can assess what led to this momentary meltdown. However, sometimes these moments do not hap…

'Where's my cheesecake?': Three nightmare Karens accuse delivery driver of being too slow, he claps back

'Where's my cheesecake?': Three nightmare Karens accuse delivery driver of being too slow, he claps back

This poor delivery driver had to deal with not one, not two, but three back-to-back entitled Karen customers who seemed determined to make his shift a living nightmare. We already have plenty of sympathy for having to deal with the average customer on a busy night of food deliveries, but this dude really dealt with the worst of the worst. Karen #1 kept complaining about her order being delayed. Karen #2 accused the delivery driver of stealing her cheesecake from IHOP, as if that were a desirabl…

Karen demands baker go to the butcher's shop next door to sell her some meat: 'I don't see why you can't just go and get it for me'

It's particularly perplexing how some people manage to survive in this world when they're living in such a peculiar version of it.

Still, you'll continually be surprised by so…

'Karen is speaking as though she is my supervisor...the board members [are] giving strange looks': Company troubleshooter agrees to let new hire take over, business soon begs them to return

Don't you hate when everything's going perfectly at work, and then the new hire has to ruin your workflow? No one knows that feeling better than u/ACFF, who got a new coworker and was presented with some genuinely shocking orders from the boss. After that, check out these TVs that are just hung up way too high, like one person who “couldn't keep a straight face when the client told me where he wanted the TV. ”

'That lady needs a talking to': Grocery store Karen throws tantrum over woman's dress code thinking she works there, manager intervenes

What era does this Karen think we're living in? Clearly, she is in no position to enforce what people should or should not wear in 2024.
