‘Give me a break…’: Hotel employees driven to breaking point by demanding guest who treats them like her personal nannies

It may be said that working as a customer support agent is really challenging. If you stop to think about it, your bosses' opinion of you, or at least their general impression of you, is entirely dependent on your capacity to manage challenging clients in a cool, collected manner. In other words, performance evaluation only takes into account a customer service representative's ability to maintain composure, regardless of his or her level of talent. The story that follows proceeds to be told fr…

'No, I'm sitting here currently, mate': Steadfast bus-goer foils the plan of cheapskate passengers who failed to plan ahead

A lot of hype influencers and motivational speakers are always babbling about ‘taking what’s yours' and ‘seizing opportunities’, but rarely do those book-hocking insecurity-mongerers actually know how to behave in the real world. Perhaps if your pockets are lined with daddy's millions and you've never known real consequences, ‘taking what’s yours' can pay off, but for us regular folks with blue-collar jobs riding the bus to the next city over, we know that the world doesn't work like that.

Update: 'It's a happy ending': L.A. landlord sneakily overcharges rent by 45%-50%, gets caught by a renter and has to dish out $4,300 to all of her tenants

Update: 'It's a happy ending': L.A. landlord sneakily overcharges rent by 45%-50%, gets caught by a renter and has to dish out $4,300 to all of her tenants

When it comes to the housing market and the renting world, life seems unjust. It seems like the landlords are always coming up, while the people just trying to live their lives with a roof over their heads are always on the down. It's simply unfair. However, sometimes things work out for the underdogs, like for these renters recently in L.A.

It's 100% normal to date the wrong person many times in your life. That's how dating works. You start to see someone you like, until you realize you actually don't click at all. Eventually, you find someone you click with and all the ups and downs of the relationship are worth it. That's when you are able to look back at past heartbreaks and wonder, “What in tarnation was I thinking??” Hindsight is 20/20, after all.

'I still giggle about it years later': Entitled boss makes his kid's photo the centerpiece of the office, employee hilariously photoshops it and never gets caught

Revenge is a dish best served petty. To pull a silly harmless little prank that makes everyone laugh AND serves as a cute little karma kick to an entitled target is a double whammy in our books. This person really hit a homerun with this petty revenge prank—and never got caught! This employee had an incompetent and entitled nepo-baby boss. It's unfortunate but it happens often in our capitalistic society. There's little you can do aside from quit and try and find a decent place of employment. B…

'That's what you get for bragging': 15+ Tales of instant karma

Karmic intervention is coming for those who need to be humbled. Just ask the people who shared their favorite stories of the times it's happened to them. It happens to every driver at some point: you're minding your business, enjoying a relaxing drive on the highway, when some dude decides to tailgate you. Some folks just have road rage, and all they want to do is compete with everyone else on the road. It seems like there are a few different types of these drivers. Some are trying to go fast,…

‘We got a 2nd refund’: Third-party booking service and hotel screw guy out of $600 and makes his party sleep in the basement, ends up getting double the refund

Sometimes something very very annoying has to happen to you so you can get rewarded with something very very awesome.

It's called karma and it tastes so so sweet. Take for instance, this commenter on a Reddit post about a guy trying to get a Priceline refund. The post was about a guy…

‘A breath of fresh air’: Heartless Karen throws tantrum about homeless man who ‘stinks,’ kind hotel employee pretends he's a guest and gives him free room with a hot shower

What a world we live in where kindness is something we have to “sneak” into our place of employment. It takes a truly caring person to risk their job in order to do the kind thing—especially when it comes to the U.S. and its homeless population. Most of the rules and regulations go against helping a houseless person. You constantly see employees “shooing” away homeless people from their property as if they were nothing less than a rodent who wandered in. It's heartbreaking. But what are you sup…

If you're going to poke the bear, expect the claws—or whatever that saying is. Basically, if you are going to try and pull something shady off, you should always be prepared for it to backfire.

'My friend here took half [of your money]': Realtor snubs interested buyer, loses 50% of her commission
