Employee of the year goes to…

You've got to be cautious about trusting random people online.

Customers who whip out a rewards card at every grocery store live every moment thinking about 10 cents of savings and they are very serious about their discounts. Typically those 'rewards members’ tend to also be the Karen or Kevin types and they can be a huge pain, thinking that every grocery store employee and patron is their personal servant.

Prepare to witness to one cafe manager's incredible story of the worst employee ever, a man incapable of working safely and efficiently for even an hour. As the OP told to r/StoriesAboutKevin, they had just hired a 26-year-old man to work at this small cafe. Things already weren't off to the best start – Kevin showed up 90 minutes late to his very first day of work! Somehow, this manager let his brand new employee work his first shift. Slowly but surely, Kevin managed to screw up literally ever…

This roommate is one of those people who need to be supervised because they've just never learned basic life skills. You may take for granted that someone taught you how to cook — it seems no one informed this “ Kevin” roommate of the dangers that can bring. This person shared three hilarious stories of rules they implemented due to Kevin's really specific habits. Roommates like this can be lots of fun to hang out with (it seems that Kevin was a nice guy overall) but they just seem to need extr…

I thought I'd heard every travel hack , until I read this one, that is. I can truly say I've never thought about treating my luggage the way this woman plans to. Airports are quite strict with their luggage requirements. If you don't look it up before you go, you'll be stuck with a suitcase that's too big or too heavy, meaning you'll have to cough up some cash to fly your precious belongings along with you. And heaven forbid you have liquids that are more than 3.4 ounces, or have a carry on tha…

Some people just want to make a scene.

We all have that one colleague who's a total show off. They like to claim that they were heading up a project , when actually they barely did any work on it. Or they try to schmooze with clients and C-suite employees, only to come off as arrogant and irritating. People like this exist everywhere, but not everyone is quite as confident in their abilities as this crazy Kevin ! At least this guy didn't get away unscathed. The OP, u/UnlikelyAlternative, writes that after Kevin's big goof with some…

We've all had less than stellar encounters with customers, but coming across a one-star review about said encounter online isn't exactly a great feeling.

Reddit user Dragon_Crystal had an amazing story to tell about this one confused dude who didn't quite understand why he couldn't buy tickets to a movie he really wanted to see. In this funny tale , this befuddled employee worked at a chain theater that was going to be closing in just a few months. One day, in comes a Kevin, and he has a strange request - tickets for a movie that's playing a few months in the future. Ordinarily, that's no problem, because theaters sell advanced tickets all the t…

We can totally see why this woman broke up with her ungrateful ex . I have a love/hate relationship with cooking, as I imagine many people do. It can be fun to whip up a hearty meal if you have time and energy to do so, and it's even better if you have friends or family to serve it to. Other times, the daily drudgery of making meals creeps in, and makes you want to turn to takeout food instead. But the caveat there is that takeout adds up fast — it can cost $20 a day or more, which is why the c…

Who is responsible when writing a paycheck goes wrong ? This person, u/Fair_Blueberry_4706, told a story of a woman she knows. They met through an online community, and the OP was surprised to see “Kevina” asking for donations. Why? She was apparently paid several paychecks that weren't hers . Instead of returning it to her employer, this Kevina decided to take advantage of the situation. Apparently, she also didn't consider what would happen if her newfound paychecks got taken from her. So now…

A long-time housekeeper was used to putting up with her harsh boss, until her boss decided to entirely ignore her wedding day. As a housekeeper for 8 years, this OP was quite experienced putting up with Karens of all kinds. She dealt with Karen clients, as well as her boss, who could be “super rude and snotty." Despite this, the OP didn't mind her boss much of the time – she was just doing what she needed to do to get by. The entire time, she was watching a revolving door of employees, but she…

This package courier got stuck in a loop of stupidity while he tried to figure out where he was. It can't be easy to be a delivery driver of any kind — dealing with bad customers , traffic, and confusion caused by orders makes this quite the demanding job. But this goofy Kevin in particular is not really cut out for the role! As u/wsele shared to r/StoriesAboutKevin, she had a truly odd encounter with a befuddled delivery dude . She wrote that she placed an order through a courier service , add…

“After 12 hard years of constant fundraising, our band finally bought new uniforms to replace our old ones from the 90s,” one student wrote, as they revealed how one goofy Kevin made a mess of it.

If there's one thing to learn in life, it's to always be kind to your mechanic.
