‘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. For instance, when a huge multi-billion company finagles hundreds of extra dollars out of your hardworking hands, but then due to them being entitled and impolite, you end up getting thousands of dollars in return. 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…

‘College-Educated Tightwad’ Neighbor Tries to Outsmart His Way for Paying His Half of Shared Fence, Hoodwinks Himself Into a Higher Cost of Living

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. Karma does not taste so sweet when you're on the receiving end. Take, for instance, this know-it-all neighbor trying to finagle his way out of responsibilities. Apparently, this guy was renting a house that shared a fence with its neighboring house. Unbeknownst to the landlord, this guy was notoriously n…

'Take that unaware guy': Internet applauds customer of a local coffee shop who sneakily gets entitled customer on his phone to tip 25%

It is 2024, if you are an American and don't know how to properly tip, then shame on you. 20% is the minimum. Period.

This entitled customer got a beautiful act of petty revenge thrust upon him, and he probably never even realized it. You see, this guy was not only not going to tip, but he was also holdin…

Then she went back to that store and told them they made a big “HUGE" mistake. Well, that is what happened here but in real life and with an entitled realtor instead of retail workers.

Remember interning? Remember working as an inexperienced and insecure employee for $0 pay? You would think that you more senior/ actually-paid coworkers would maybe take you under their wing and give you a break and some pointers. That's the internship dream! And then you have a nice little connection and mentor into the workforce you're trying to break into. Unfortunately, that is not always the experience. Sometimes a more entitled older co-worker will takes this un-paid “employee” and use th…

A peak working environment is one where you can comfortably and confidently tell a coworker to knock it off when they are going past their boundaries. Those places definitely exist, but, unfortunately, they are rare. One Redditor has about had it with their unbearably busybody coworker—the worst part is, this person is a brand new employee too.

'[She] would roll over in her grave': Wicked stepmother who forces husband to cut ties with his children gets a taste of karma beyond the grave

It's a horrible thing when you find out someone who got divorced also emotionally divorces their children. Once you have committed to being a parent, you are committed for life, there is no backing out. And yet, there are still parents who think they can just leave their kids in the dust and “start over.” That's not how life works, buddy. However, as humans we strive for peace and forgiveness is a start. For example , this child who was cast aside due to her wicked stepmother learned to forgive…

'I made sure he wasted his time': Guy gets payback against an impatient line-cutter at a restaurant by neglecting to inform him that he's waiting in the wrong line

Entitled people often don't realize when they're disrespecting someone. Lost in their own world and wrapped up in their own tiny lives, self-important folks don't realize how their actions are affecting the people around them– especially those of us too polite to clap back. However, once in a blue moon, entitled naivety can punish someone without conflict.

Big, packed parking lots are my nightmare. Trying to maneuver my small car in between angry drivers who I believe are out to get me is one of my least favorite things to do in the world.

You shouldn't ever park your car in front of a fire hydrant—and that's a known fact. It's one of those things, like parking in a disabled parking space, that immediately labels you as someone who has no regard for other members of society. Should your car be towed or smashed to smithereens, the rest of us would sit back, shrug, and agree that you had it coming… Sure, there's the possibility here that you yourself were in a rush, stressed, or just having a bad day and made a genuine mistake, but…

'Oops, I've overpaid my bills': Programmer uses skills to program a system to mess with his former apartment manager

I should be able to repeat a few well-known sayings in my sleep by now. My favorite phrase, and the one I have to swear by—are you ready for it? ‘live within your means’. In case you haven't noticed already, the theme of this delightfully intriguing tale will be money—perhaps the most despicable topic in history. However, I guess it gets less painful, and possibly even funny, when we talk about other people's money. The story below is an account of a cynical tenant who has come up with a very c…
