It's human nature to judge a book by its cover. Of course, we don't want to always assume things about people, but when you see a middle aged woman starting to get into a snark tiff with a flight attendant, what's your first thought? I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but my gut jumps to conclusions that we've got a Karen on our hands. But sometimes the gut can be wrong…

The holiday season can be earmarked by chaos, mayhem, and grouchy shoppers. Although every Hallmark movie boasts about cheerful worldly interactions and whimsical holiday shopping, any home-grown American can tell you that all decorum and merriment is thrown out the window the moment you set foot in the department store parking lot.

This person came by to “forgive” some employees who made him mad, but then he started yelling at them instead. In an odd video posted by u/galaxystars1, a bystander is filming inside of a AAA as a (former) customer flips out. There are two sides to every story, and we only see a small segment of what happened here. But as the upset customer says, he had a 26-year-long membership with AAA, and the company cancelled it. Though they don't say why, someone mentions that this dude shows up often to…

Kudos to these workers who didn't burst out laughing after hearing these customers' questions. I'm sure it wasn't easy to hold in laughter when customers get things so unbelievably wrong. When you work at a retail store , you quickly learn that customers don't ask a wide range of questions. Even though you spend 40 hours per week at the job, it's potentially a customer's first time there. You end up answering questions like, “Is everything included in this store-wide sale?” or “What aisle is to…

This woman decided to confront another driver , but she did it in the most awkward way imaginable. As with every story on the internet, there are at least two sides. But whoever holds the video camera has an advantage to tell their side of the story. This person just happened to catch one mom's odd behavior on camera, and shared the video with the world. The woman's claims are serious: she states that the driver of the car nearly hit her children. The woman asks for an apology from the driver,…

This woman is losing her mind over some teeny tiny flag decorations . Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. And if you're this woman, you then proceed to take a stroll down the block, no shoes necessary, to yell at your neighbors. This woman was very worked up over her neighbors' property , and she spent several minutes screaming at the poor young folks who live there. To their credit, the young people who live in this place handled the woman's yelling with grace (and some mi…

This person learned an interesting tip from about getting what you want as a guest. As u/badgermann writes, their wife worked at the “central switchboard for a group of resort hotels in a tourist area." While you're vacationing, you want everything to run smoothly. Instead of dealing with the humdrum of daily life, all you really want is to be sprawled out on the beach with a good book and no responsibilities whatsoever. However, if you have traveled on vacation even a single time, you know tha…

When you take public transit, you are agreeing to the possibility of seeing some very strange people. It's almost like an unofficial social contract you sign the minute you step on the train, bus, ferry, etc. And when you do find yourself in these shocking, confusing, and cringeworthy moments, you may stop to ask yourself if there's some sort of special event going on that you don't know about. Perhaps you forgot that it's Halloween or perhaps there's some sort of popular musician's concert in…

When you're planning an extended vacation, any mindful adult considers what they'll do with their pet and what they need to do to prepare their animal for their absence. One Karen recently proved to be the most unprepared pet owner in the vet clinic when she tried to skip the 20 person waiting list after procrastinating too long to make an appointment.

Employee of the year goes to…

Road ragers are acting like they're not blind with rage at the slightest inconvenience and swerving wildly at the drop of a hat just because they watched Fast and Furious once. Newsflash buddy, you're driving like an absolute donkey and you're a danger to society. In this case, a road rager actually got a bit of karma after messing with a couple of sisters in a parking lot.

Growing up with divorced parents sucks. Obviously when mom and dad split up, it was because of some unresolved conflict– or ‘beef’ as they say– that forced their hand on ending their marriage. When you have kiddos thrown into the mix, things can get messy.

I thought this was a free country

Let's go places

Everyone gets fired up over March Madness. In a world where sports outcomes can be fairly predictable, college basketball championships combine high pressure gameplay and decision-making skills, with the hotheaded nature of 20-year-old giants who are flooded with testosterone. What could possibly go wrong?

How do you recover from this?
