But if you just follow that contract to the letter, following all the rules, there's nothing the company can do to stop you. One poster shared this experience to r/MaliciousCompliance, one car rental company tried to screw him over after renting a car for five weeks. They need…

'She just thought she could scream her way out of this': Ignorant vacationing Karen runs up 5-figure roaming charges, ignores the only person who can help her

Call center employees have to deal with one bazillion Karens, but this one in particular left the call operator with a huge grin. In the r/talesfromcallcenters subreddit, one brave phone operator shared this tale of stunning ignorance . Maybe if Karen reads this story now, she'll finally understand how badly she botched the math in this equation.
