There are the ‘givers’ of the world and the ‘takers’. Givers are generous and caring, trying to do their best to return a piece of karma to the world. Takers are a different story– If you give an inch, they'll take an entire yard.

Snow season is upon us in the northern States and like they do every season, some residents seem to have forgotten the importance of appropriate snow-gear. Somehow every year, there are procrastinators (who are apparently incapable of checking the weather forecast) that are neglecting to make appropriate arrangements for the upcoming snow days. Karens everywhere are ready to accost their local minimum wage workers, morphing into their final form as the rudest, most entitled customers in town.

'Don't take advantage of a nice thing or it may go away', said u/tKLogicTA, who revoked his employees' privileges after they managed to finish 400 bags of chips in 3 weeks. Let's start at the beginning. OP opened a shop about 10 years ago, where he was working as a full-time mechanic. As time went on, he allowed himself to lay back a bit and relax. Taking on a more entrepreneurial role, he began broadening his horizons, acquiring more properties and businesses. He still made sure to visit the s…

This car had some major issues — for one, the steering wheel was about to break off. There's a stereotype about mechanics. Some people think mechanics are only interested in trying to get money out of them. They believe that instead of a quick fix that costs a few dollars, that their mechanic is actually trying to get them to spend thousands of dollars to perform unnecessary work . To be fair, some mechanics do operate this way, and it's hard to figure out who's right – you, the person who driv…

It's usually best not to make assumptions about people based on appearance. Generally, this is considered a bad move… while also being unethical. Plus, when your designs are dishonest, making assumptions about people's ability to recognize your deceit could backfire spectacularly. In this story, this scammer mechanic completely underestimated his customer because he deemed her to be an easy target, expecting a small blonde woman not to know all that much about cars. The thing is, both her broth…

Talk about a toxic work environment!

Life is already hard being an introvert. Humans are pack animals, but when you're an introvert you just want to be left alone. You have your few core people that respect your boundaries and those are the only people you want to hang out with. Why do you have to go and be socials with a bunch of strangers all the time? Or for that matter, why do you even have to go and hang with your coworkers? Shouldn't there be a divide between work and play anyways? This is the argument one introvert employee…

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

For me, it's the plastic chair

Don't judge a book by its cover. Or, how about, don't judge anyone or stereotype at all. We're all unique individuals with unique experiences to bring to the table, someone's appearance doesn't tell you much about what those experiences are. In this story this scammer mechanic completely underestimated his customer because he deemed her to be an easy target, expecting a small blonde woman not to know all that much about cars. The thing is, both her brother and father are mechanics and she knows…

Don't assume people don't know anything about cars.

Spoiler Alert: He 's not actually the Pope's son… She left her car unlocked for one night after they had frozen over, three days later she hears a “hey” coming from the trunk.

When u/maddaneccles1 and his wife needed to get work done on their old car, u/maddaneccles1 had a good look at the car and noticed a crack in the exhaust manifold. He made it a pretty good way into dismantling the exhaust before encountering some extremely troublesome seized bolts. That's when they decided to take it in to the mechanic. When u/maddaneccles1's wife got to the mechanic, the mechanic was extremely cocky. He quoted the wife for a long list of parts and repairs that u/maddaneccles1…

That's a whoopsie.

Now that's a grandpa.
