"Our across-the-street neighbors also have approximately 6 cars: 3 in their driveway, 2 inside the garage, 1 they park in front of the curb by my house."

Overbearing parents can make school a miserable existence for teachers and students alike. Thankfully for these overworked kids, their helicopter parents have met their match with their history teacher. This teacher was pressured by the parents to assign more extra credit so their kids could have a greater chance at getting A+ final grades. After receiving enough pressure from the board and the administration, the teacher acquiesced but devised a plan to maliciously comply. She decided to give…

"It took him a solid week to figure out why his car wasn’t moving."

Let this job candidate's story serve as a reminder to stand your ground in an interview. If you come across a passing comment from a hiring manager that directly contradicts what was expressly written in the job posting, that's a red flag certainly worthy of questioning. Here , we have a candidate who was honest about needing to go to a doctor's appointment for valid medical reasons once every three months and that these appointments would be a full-day commitment. Based on the job posting, he…

You never really know what kind of neighbor you're going to get until it's too late. For some, it's a friendly wave and a chat over the fence, but for others, it's dealing with an entitled Boomer who thinks he's owed your plants. That's right—one woman found herself in the middle of peak neighbor drama when her Boomer neighbor demanded she dig up her own garden and hand over the plants just so he could spruce up his yard. You've got to hand it to him for the sheer audacity. Not only did he ask…

Sometimes, the sweetest revenge is accidental. Sure, perhaps you've been fantasizing about the different ways in which you can get even with your unapologetically noisy next-door neighbor, but the conflict-avoidant part of you has kept you from acting upon those fantasies. All you can do in these situations is to hope for karma to rear its ugly head, and in this case, it didn't even have to. This tenant tried numerous times to keep both his adjacent and upstairs neighbors quiet. These were a gr…

Rules in the workplace can be hard to follow, but in some instances, it's best to resist the temptation to question protocol. Sure, in theory, we all want to have the autonomy to follow our own rules, but when it comes to making unauthorized purchases in large quantities on the company's dime, perhaps think twice and get your supervisor's approval before doing so. Here , we have an employee who tried to make it seem like the new hire was at fault for questioning these purchase requests in the f…

Someone call the EPA!

Sometimes, telling your roommate to stop doing something inconsiderate is not enough. You have to show them the consequences of their actions. This tenant's roommate had a habit of eating whatever he wanted in the communal refrigerator, especially when it wasn't his own food. He always had an excuse. He either didn't have enough time to do his own grocery shopping or he promised to pay the tenant back next tine. Well, after numerous instances, it became clear that this was an empty promise. The…

It takes a whole lot of audacity to complain about not having something you're not properly paying for… This entitled customer recently downgraded his internet speed from 500 mpbs to 100 because he wanted a cheaper plan. Well, as a result, this had consequences on the quality of his Wi-Fi connection. Of course, when you're a Karen, you don't necessarily have the capacity to put two and two together and realize that this is what you get for downgrading to a cheaper plan. He wound up complaining…

"I remind him, that I agreed to a three cut minimum and no where in any of the conversations did the company specific a restriction on when."

Being a team player means supporting your coworkers when it's appropriate. It does not mean doing their job for them. Here, we have a fully remote Karen coworker who had the audacity to ask an employee, who had to work in-person every day, to print multiple PDFs and scan them as one document for her. Now, the purpose of this was to combine these PDF documents into one, a task the employee pointed out could be via Adobe. He even wrote out clear instructions for how to do this from home, but the…

Airport security can bring out the worst in people. Unfortunately for this passenger, he had to endure a packed security line where every flight was getting delayed and people were gracious enough to let folks with less time before their flights to get to the front of the line. Unfortunately, not everyone was gracious, and this passenger, who was already dealing with time constraints, was pushed and shoved by two impatient Karens, who just so happened to be on the same flight. After the Karens…

Imagine working from home but having your boss look at you the entire time. It kind of beats the purpose of remote work, doesn't it? Those days offer employees some freedom to fulfill their responsibilities at their own pace and under their own preferred conditions. Having your manager on Zoom monitoring your progress during your entire work day is no different than having them breathe down your neck in the office. This employee worked for a startup and helped build it from the ground up. Thing…

In a quiet residential neighborhood, one frustrated homeowner had finally reached his breaking point. Despite submitting countless complaints to the HOA about his entitled neighbors throwing loud parties 3-4 nights a week, the noise just wouldn’t stop. He called the cops, filed multiple violations, and even endured a kids' party with a loud MC that went on well into the early morning hours. Finally, after years of sleepless nights and growing frustration, his efforts finally paid off and the pa…

If the horrible bosses of the world cannot respect their employees' vacation policies, then they should not be entitled to any vacation either. Here, we have a seasoned HVAC technician who had been with the company since its early days and who always spent a considerable amount of his already limited PTO on the week after Labor Day. This was a time where he and his wife could send their kids off to school and plan for the fall. Unfortunately, when the company was sold to a larger monopoly, many…
