Slacker people like to hide behind their perceived shortcomings in order to validate their lack of work ethic. The biggest problem with that is that they are immediately discrediting other hard working folks in the same situation, while making themselves a pity case for everyone around them. In this story, one slacker employee found refuge in her workplace by playing the ‘single mother' card, using the same excuse for every one of her deficiencies as an employee and a coworker.

The best part of the whole story is that the teenage daughter has absolutely nothing to do with this.

On this week's Top Karens list, we're covering a lot of ground: stage moms, posh customers, and even vegan Karens.

This dude has what he believes is an excellent money-making scheme, but his mom is going to be so mad at him. U/NicoDeeMaus had a query for the r/AmItheA**hole community. As a budding landlord, he's renting out several rooms in the house he's staying at, and living in the basement . He needs to earn some quick cash, and this is how he's decided to do so. But the OP should have known that commenters would call him TA, which they unanimously did, instead of taking his side of the argument. This i…

Shoutout to this customer service representative for telling off Karen so beautifully.

Birthday obsessives are the bane of everyone's existence and we all have that one friend who can't stand it when people don't worship them once a year. Some random childhood trauma created the birthday-obsessed adults that we see today and, even though it's just a regular day marked on the regular calendar, folks get a little crazy about the anniversary of their birth. Like Disney adults, birthday obsessives tend to be emotionally immature...

This mom is taking family participation a bit too far. This woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to share her story and ask for people's opinions , but she's definitely not going to like the answers she's receiving in the comments. As the OP, u/Thick-Studio-4277, shared in her post, her daughter Penelope is 12 years old, and she has a spring show that she was performing in. The OP didn't really take this show seriously, which is a big mistake on her part! Preteens take things like that very seriously…

Everyone knows a good ol' fashioned scam when they see one. "Take the money and run", is a scumbag's catch phrase, right? Usually scams involve some grifter making a quick buck on empty promises, weaponizing human emotions and taking advantage of every weakness before dipping out– just like your crummy manager at work!

When you’re a kid, you tend to think you can be anything you want to be, even a dog.

Don't mess with this mom, who's on the warpath after her daughter didn't celebrate Mother's Day in the right way. Mother's Day is important to many people — it's the day you show your appreciation for everything Mom did for you. Moms raise us and nurture us, so it's lovely to have at least one day a year to show how much she means to you. Lots of people either spend the day with Mom or give her a phone call. However, this Mom wasn't happy with any of the Mother's Day presents she received. Then…

First love is a tough virus to shake. When teenagers ‘fall in love’ (or think they have), it's tough to separate the raging hormones from real, genuine connection. Although some people find their forever person in their local public school system, most people aren't so lucky and don't really realize that they've hitched their horse to a toxic wagon– until it's too late.

Don't forget to call your Mother this weekend!

Being estranged from a family member can be tough, but if they're the toxic, narcissist type, for some folks, being away from their family is actually a huge relief. Distancing yourself from that sort of dynamic is the best thing to do, but when rotten family members come out of the woodwork in order to get something from you, it smells like trouble from a mile away. In this case, one man who was alienated from his family gets roped back into the drama

We've all been on flights where families try to negotiate with other passengers so they can sit together.

He is the primary caretaker of their daughter, and she spends less than two hours a day with her child…

Some folks are plagued by their childhood trauma for the rest of their lives, while others seek a different approach to the healing process: Revenge. One man on Reddit did what we all wish we had the strength to do and faced his childhood demons head on; in his case, that meant having a long, dragged out conversation with his narcissistic mother.
