money

Whether it broke immediately, was completely useless to begin with, cost too much or was literally stupid, most people have spent too much money on a dumb thing. It just seems like its in our nature to get tricked or trick ourselves into buying useless junk. It's probably better to give it some extra thought when pulling out the credit card to buy a collector's edition set of Robocop themed silverware or a do-it-yourself liposuction kit, but what's the fun in that?

People keep thinking they can demand free stuff, unpaid labor and steep discounts out of other people for no other reason that their own misguided sense of superiority. Whether it's a manipulative family member, an abusive stranger or a delusional potential employer, entitled people will take their unrealistic demands as far as they can go. Here's an entitled customer who chose the wrong free glasses and still got ridiculous about it.

We can't believe this scamming tactic ever works. How many people believe that a complete stranger claiming to be a CEO or government official or whatever would need you to pay them with gift cards? Either way, when it happens to savvy people, they try to have fun with a text message scammer. The person on the other end is apparently so desperate for those gift cards that scammers can get trolled for a ridiculously long time.

Usually if you hear a retail story it's gonna be about how horribly entitled a customer is. However, this time it's about a customer who seriously needed help and found exactly the right person in a mechanic on a slow day. For more wholesome stories, here's one about a senior who mistook a guy's car for a taxi or this lazy genius school project story.

The devil is in the details here. Just accurate enough to be absolutely terrifying. 

Whether it's because they think haggling is just an excuse to abuse people, or have irrational expectations about the world around them, entitled people will continue to fill the world with their unreasonable demands. Sometimes it's a boss who expects you to work on the weekends for free, other times it could be a total stranger who thinks that it's a reasonable request for you to ship your dog to them so they can pet it. Entitled people just keep making laughable demands. Sometimes entitled people even go full Karen.

When this guy looked into the legality of this company's policy, he stuck to his principles and got everyone money they were owed. For some other satisfying work revenge stories, here's a boss's "take prank callers seriously" policy backfiring as well as a boss that got locked out of his own home.

You shouldn't be so suspicious of every human interaction that it ruins your life, but there are definitely a lot of scams out there. That said, when one correctly identifies a scammer, they can mess with them with awesome results, like this scammer that got trolled and taken on a wild ride or this scammer that got trolled with photoshop skills. Here's a story of an unlucky scammer who called an electronics store.

One one hand, that's an insane rate for data, and it shouldn't cost that much. On the other hand, when you get 50 warning messages and your data turned off, but still push through and turn it back on so you can scroll through Facebook, you've made a mistake. Many people have experienced a frustrating time someone went full Karen, like this Karen who tailgated a driver right into a speed trap.

It's all too common to see an unhinged boss push their employees to their limits. This guy thought he'd save himself some money, but what he didn't know came around and ended up costing more than he expected. It's not uncommon that employees can enrage their bad bosses by following the actual rules.

When most people find themselves with garbage, they throw it away. But a select charismatic few of us will look at a broken hammer and say to themselves "someone will pay top dollar for this vintage, fixer-upper hammer." They will go on to try to sell dumb junk online. Does any of this unusual stuff ever sell? Who knows. At least someone tried.

Absurd entitled people proliferate through all aspects of life. It could be a boss that wants you to work for free on the weekends, a stranger who wants you to give them your phone for free, or a neighbor who's mad that the cake you baked them wasn't their favorite flavor. Wherever there are people, there are entitled people with ridiculous demands.

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the strangest stuff people ever did for money. Money drives people to do some truly bizarre stuff. 

Whether it's someone who wants a discount for a reason they just invented, or a wannabe influencer who wants their family and friends to fund their vacation, the world has a goofy array of entitled folks and their unyielding demands. It doesn't seem like people could be this way until you see some entitled folks trying to get a 70 year old man to carry a giant birdhouse to their place. The ridiculous demands of entitled people seem to have no limits.

This dude wouldn't stop parking on their property and making things a problem, so they turned it into an expensive place to park. This sounds like the kind of thing you can only do if you have a lot of patience and an extremely bored sheriff. When neighbors get into disputes, things can get ugly, like this neighbor who hammered nails into a fence and got their yard redecorated, or this guy who towed in pro revenge on his petty neighbor.
