‘I Only Went Out to Lunch!’ : Karen Takes Car From Leasing Company for 2 Hour Test Ride Adding 60 Miles to Odometer, Ignores All Attempts at Means of Communication, Leading to Police Getting Involved

‘You Get What You Pay for’ : Company Dodges Corporate Client’s Gaslighting/Manipulation via Malicious Compliance, Leading To Project’s Ultimate Demise

Clients who try to gaslight you might want to think twice about leaving a paper trail, as that ultimately defeats the purpose of gaslighting. This particular client in question has a long list of faults, such as unreasonable expectations, refusal to listen to logic (they don't adhere to the universal laws of physics apparently), and pulling the classic shocked Pikachu face when presented with proof of their own incompetence. You can't just expect to be a top-priority client without paying for w…

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

‘What Are You, a Snowflake?’ : 20 Blunt Signs That Don’t Beat Around the Bush

Whoever created these signs get an A+ for creativity. Some of them are dumb, some of them are clever, and some are plain offensive. Still, they leave little to the imagination.
