'She asked me to transfer her to the governor...': Phone operators for banks, pharmacies, and other white collar jobs share the most laughable requests they've gotten from customers

If you have ever worked the phones at any job , then you know just how nutso people can get on the other side. It's almost as chaotic as trolls on the internet. That essence of anonymity that talking through a phone creates a “no-shame" mentality and now you have people asking you questions they would be way to embarrassed to do face-to-face. Just because you're talking to someone at the Walgreens pharmacy doesn't mean you are talking to your doctor, so why are you telling them about the weird…

'Is this enough to compensate?': Woman gets free parking and a $150 steak dinner after getting stuck in a 5-star hotel bathroom for an hour, hospitality professionals say she should've gotten more

What do you expect in terms of hospitality when you book an expensive 5-star hotel? You're usually paying upwards of $500 a night, so you would think they would provide the best of services. Especially if you get stuck in a bathroom! Things happen and precarious situations arise, we all know that's unavoidable in this place we call life. But it is how you handle these situations that gives you a top notch rating. When this woman got stuck in a 5-star hotel bathroom while vacationing with her bo…

'My mom has sticky fingers': Mother steals $1,200 vase from hotel, gets caught and makes it her son's responsibility to get her out of the charges

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequence of your mother's actions. Why is it that the older generation thinks it's fine to just steal from hospitality businesses? Like, yes, you're paying to spend a night or two there, but you're not paying to take home that wall art or tea kettle they put in there for your convenience. This Redditor's mom took it upon herself to leave the hotel with the a robe and crystal vase. She thought she'd get away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling hotel…

'I went home feeling pretty good about myself': Teen takes petty revenge on adult co-worker who constantly belittles her for being 16 years old

Remember interning? Remember working as an inexperienced and insecure employee for $0 pay? You would think that you more senior/ actually-paid coworkers would maybe take you under their wing and give you a break and some pointers. That's the internship dream! And then you have a nice little connection and mentor into the workforce you're trying to break into. Unfortunately, that is not always the experience. Sometimes a more entitled older co-worker will takes this un-paid “employee” and use th…

'Tell her to "KNOCK IT OFF," but use the right words': New employee becomes unbearable busybody to coworkers, 100+ Redditors advise how to professionally say 'mind your own business'

A peak working environment is one where you can comfortably and confidently tell a coworker to knock it off when they are going past their boundaries. Those places definitely exist, but, unfortunately, they are rare. One Redditor has about had it with their unbearably busybody coworker—the worst part is, this person is a brand new employee too. This nosy coworker is basically tracking OP's breaks, lunches, and chats with coworkers for literally no reason. She's not even tracking OP because she…

'After 24 years I win': Woman finally gets satisfaction after landing petty roast on her real-life longterm frenemy

Do you have a frenemy? A frenemy is someone who acts like your friend in front of everyone, but is really your enemy—hence “frenemy.” This person can be the bane of your existence. Because in front of everyone, they seem like a friend of yours, so no one would believe you when you'd say they actually treat you like hot garbage. But when it's just you two talking, the backhanded comments and toxic interaction begins. So what do you do? This Redditor had 24 years to think or something and she was…

'I kind of snapped': 26-year-old health employee has had it and gives management a piece of her mind, is wondering if maybe she went too far

Is it a fireable offense to snap at your boss? Or is it a normal human slip-up that happens from time to time? I would go with the latter, but some managers take it as an insult to their authority. The insecure managers. The manager that would throw you under the bus the second you get just a little on their nerves. Unfortunately, there are many managers like this out there running things. So what do you do? One young Redditor asked this exact question. She works in the health industry and is q…

'The situation is ridiculous': Hotel bartender learns why everyone hates a certain nepo-baby coworker after a shift with them ends up in the HR office

Nepo-babies are the privileged kind of delusional, not the fun kind of delulu. Like, there's the employee that pushes the boundaries and might get you in trouble for doing something fun kind of delulu, and then there is the nepo-baby delusional co-worker who thinks he's entitled to everyone treating him like the boss even though he was given a bartending position because his mommy is the boss. See what I mean? The latter is, unfortunately, where our story begins . This hotel bartender was the k…

'[A] good lesson for him:' Entire team calls out ‘sick’ after one coworker is forced to come in unwell, now the boss is covering the entire senior staff the week before Christmas

Did you ever think that maybe something that is not a big deal to you is a big deal to someone else? Maybe that's something you should respect. That's kind of an obvious train of thought to most people. However, to most upper management, it must seem like gibberish because, apparently, they are the masters of the universe and whatever they say must be the end-all-say-all… Why are so many managers and bosses like this? An instance of upper management gaslighting something that is a big deal to o…

'I almost lost my job over an entitled Karen': Theme park photographer encounters insensitive mother who yells at a Make-A-Wish kid's family, sees red

Nobody is safe from a Karen. If you are unaware of what a Karen is, lucky you. This is the kind of person who is so entitled that they would rather throw a 2-year-old-style tantrum to the police and any upper management that will listen than actually act like an adult and show some empathy. In fact, a Karen doesn't have an empathetic bone in their body. And a Karen can be any gender, age, whatever! It's about what they demand and how. This time a Karen reared her ugly head to a suffering family…

'Never threaten to take away my cats': Rich trust fund baby forced to dish over $87k after treating ex like trash and attempting to take everything during the breakup

This one's a doozy, but well worth the read! In short, it is an epic story of justice being brought upon an affluent villainous ex. Couples thinking they'll be at least civil with each other forever no matter, but then it turning toxic at the end is a tale as old as time. When you're in the thralls of love and romance, you never think that one day you two will end up hating each other. It's heartbreaking, but that's why it's called… Well, heartbreak. In this case, this couple bought a house tog…

‘Sorry, you told me to leave you alone’: Kid makes a quick $147 in cash by teaching entitled adult a lesson in instant karma after trying to do the right thing and getting met with unkindness

We should really listen to our youth, because sometimes adults learn helpful life lessons from children. For example, an entitled adult who thinks it's okay to treat kids with zero kindness because they're older and “more mature” has a very harsh lesson to learn. You can't be a grown person and act like it's okay to treat everyone around you like you're better than them. Come on, we live in a society, man. Grow up. This story comes from a '90s kid. This millennial was doing what young kids did…

'My coworker has A LOT of nerve': Employee mentions she can't afford to contribute to boss' holiday gift until next pay-period, coworkers get snarky

It's the holiday season, and that means it's going to be an extra expensive month. You would think that this would be a good time in the office for the boss to show appreciation to their employees with a gift or two. I mean, the boss is making more money, so it's the least they could do, right? It's not very common for the employees, who make way less than the boss, to get an expensive gift for the person they work for. That being said, sometimes you have a very generous and sincerely friendly…

'Am I the [office Grinch] who stole Xmas?': New hire of only 4 months wants senior IT employee to cover his holiday shift since he doesn't celebrate Christmas, gets a big ‘NO’

Who hasn't had to work a holiday shift? It just comes with the territory . If you're a new hire, you have to put your time in and work some of the hard shifts. That's just how the cookie crumbles. You think you will get the holidays off before the more senior employees who had to give their holidays up years before you? I don't think so, babes. So the audacity of this new hire in this Reddit story is palpable. A senior IT employee usually works the Christmas break and never minded it since he d…

'Dude, you just loiter': Older couple waltz around bookstore like they own the place never spending a dime, owner pulls a fast one on them by removing all chairs

Sometimes big problems require simple solutions. This seemed to be the case in the entitled couple vs small bookstore story we came across on Reddit. The bookstore employee recalls an older couple who oozed entitlement so much in the establishment that it ruined the comfort of big comfy chairs for everyone. This couple would come in, never by anything, but would sit in the only two big comfy chairs all day long, cut the line to demand free hot water, and even kick their feet up on the table SHO…
