There is a plethora of ways in which a food delivery order can go wrong. Sometimes, it's an honest mistake. Sometimes, it's the customer's fault. And sometimes the person delivering your food is a bit too eager and bizarre. You know, the kind of guy who messages you after the delivery is complete. Perhaps it's about getting an extra tip or maybe it's even a flirtation no one asked for. Regardless, customers and delivery drivers alike are human, which means the capacity for errors and misjudgmen…

Karma can rear its head just about anywhere, even if it's in a long line at the local drive-thru pharmacy. Here, we have a customer who was patiently waiting third in line at a drive-thru in order to pick up a prescription. Because of the structural layout on the street, there had to be a small gap between the third and fourth positions in line so that regular drivers could pass. Well, one SUV line-cutting male Karen thought that gap could be an opportunity to sneak in and completely cut the li…

Imagine reaching out to a former employer for a full-time opportunity, getting flat-out rejected, and then being asked to give money to the organization. You have to admire the audacity of these people. This Redditor shared that after successful contracted work, she sought a salaried position at the same company and put a ton of work into her application. When she was rejected, she wound up receiving what was clearly a copy-and-paste rejection email. She ended up reaching out to her contact at…

This manager may have been irritated, but the rest of us can applaud this customer's success at bending the rules for his own gain. Sure, finding loopholes and using them to one's advantage can sometimes lead to unruly behavior, but this time, the customer achieved something most shoppers can only dream of: a loophole within a store's strict return policy. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/dubilendar , who shared that he had just bought a series of items fr…

It turns out that entitled customers are willing to go far for their extra ketchup! This Karen had the audacity to throw two ridiculous tantrums at the same McDonald's establishment within a short amount of time, as if the people who witnessed the first outburst would have suddenly forgotten. The result? She ended up in the back of a police car and wound up getting into way more trouble than she anticipated. The first temper tantrum involved not having the right amount of change to pay for her…

This is what happens when teachers are not paid fairly. It's no secret that your average teacher is forced to take on a number of tasks and responsibilities that go well beyond their job description and salary. The reality of the matter is that without their extra free labor, students and teachers alike will not have the proper materials for class to run smoothly. Naturally, this lack of fairness can lead to a whole lot of resentment from teachers who are taking way too much time out of their a…

This lady needs to take a hint. When she first discovered her long-lost sister, she somehow missed what seemed like obvious clues that her sister, Esty, was uncomfortable about the whole thing given that she fell out of touch with their father. Then, this lady did not get the message when Esty blocked her on social media after the lady started following Esty and messaging her constantly. Finally, Esty took things way too far when she showed up at Esty's place of work completely unannounced. Tha…

This scenario is ripe for some petty payback. The first time this Redditor received a delivery intended for a different apartment down the hall, they did not think much of the situation. They simply concluded that it must have been a mistake or the delivery person was buzzing any apartment number just to enter the building. However, the next time it happened, they started to put the pieces together. They realized that the entitled Karen down the hall kept listing the Redditor's apartment number…

There is no positive trajectory for a company that caters to a Karen employee. This time, the Karen in question did not even have any real power. She had been shirking her responsibilities at work long after a minor neck injury from which she had fully recovered. Her coworkers had even seen that she was partying on the weekends, but she managed to find a doctor who could get her out of coming to work as much as she wanted. Finally, her boss, who ran the sales operations team, convinced HR to fi…

People have their own personal reasons for quitting jobs. Sometimes it's justified, and sometimes it's not, Sometimes it's planned, and sometimes it's impulsive. And every so often, the reason behind someone's departure at a company is so bonkers and unexpected that it almost feels like you're living in a movie or some heightened version of reality. This time, instead of telling these anecdotes from the perspectives of those who got fired or quit, we're going to see how things went down from th…

If micromanaging bosses would rather do all of the work themselves, perhaps everyone would be happier if they just did. That way, no one would be looking over anyone else's shoulders. No one would feel like they're being watched at all times of the day. Furthermore, no one would feel like their process of getting things done was not respected. Here, we have a micromanaging boss who kept listening in on their employees' calls with customers and correcting them in the middle of the class. Not onl…

If there is anyone in this world who deserves to be called out for their nonsense, it's a greedy real estate agent. This is not to say that all real estate agents are greedy. We are sure there are two or three decent ones out there. All jokes aside though, we can all agree that this particular one had it coming. This thread was shared to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Otherwise_Gift_4123, who recently bought a home and tried to negotiate with their landlord and real estate agent to get…

If recruiters and hiring managers expect everything a job candidate submits to be polished, should they not do the same? Let's break this down further. A job applicant is often expected to submit a resume and cover letter at the very least during the first round. Throughout the application process, depending on the position, there could be interviews, assessments, subsequent essays, etc. The expectation is for applicants to create something new and tailored to the specific position each time, w…

Don't you just love it when your boss is on thin ice and decides to take it out on the entire team? You know, as if it's their fault that she's an incompetent manager? That seems to be a frequent occurrence in the workplace. It's certainly nothing new that people in high-pressure situations act out unfairly, but it can be difficult to stomach when the person acting out is also the one who signs your paychecks. Let's start with one obvious truth that always needs to be restated: your boss's tant…

When you know, you know . This is, of course, what everyone says when they find the partner with whom they may want to share the rest of their lives. However, this sentiment very much applies to couples who are on the verge of falling apart. As a third party, you can often see the signs that two people are not meant to be. Sure, there are the obvious signs: fighting, infidelity, etc, but when it comes to the subtle red flags, that's when side remarks, body language, and social media posting bec…

It's always a risk when you're buying something from Marketplace. Like anything you purchase, you have to do your due diligence and assess the product carefully before going for it and making the purchase. Sometimes, we're overwhelmed and we forget to be careful when we buy products that appear to be perfectly fine. This Redditor certainly acknowledges his own part in that when he bought a broken ottoman. That being said, when he tried to return said item, it became clear that the previous owne…
