'Take up 7 seats?': 40-year-old Karen lets kids take up too much space on crowded train, passenger gives Karen a tough time for the next 20 minutes

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

Entitled neighbor beings parking in homeowner's driveway, still unapologetic after making them late for work: 'My neighbor thinks my driveway is her free parking spot'

Parking disputes are always tricky, and there's a lot of grey area when it comes to who is in the right, especially when it comes to public parking, where it becomes a matter of who pulled up to the spot first and was waiting, which results in a lot of he-said-she-said situations when it comes to who deserves the spot. Similarly, a lot of parking disputes arise in neighborhoods when someone is parking a noisy car or for long periods of time right out in front of your house. Sure, the street is…

'No employee is allowed to work from home': Remote employee forced to come in unexpectedly despite medical issues, boss won't return his phone calls

'No employee is allowed to work from home': Remote employee forced to come in unexpectedly despite medical issues, boss won't return his phone calls

Enforcing new work policies on employees out of nowhere and without notice is bound to lead to some pushback. Contrary to the beliefs of bosses of a certain generation, not every fully remote or hybrid employee enjoys their situation because of laziness. Sometimes, it's about commuting. Sometimes, it's about the nature of their work and daily responsibilities. Other times, it's a medical issue, which is consistent with this Redditor's experience. After working remotely at a small company of und…

'Don't mess with food safety': Entitled bride and groom tried to serve old dried fish to 300+ wedding guests, venue rejects them

One should not be allowed to have a massive wedding ceremony if one wants to serve one's guests of more than 300 friends and family members a bunch of old, dried fish. This entitled bride and groom attempted to allow the caterers and venue to serve fish that had been sitting outside for upwards of five hours. The caterers rejected this and deemed it to be a food safety issue and a violation of the contract the couple had signed. However, once the wedding reception began, the groom doubled down…

'I think my boss is tracking me': Nanny calls the cops on entitled Mommy Boss after discovering boss is tracking her every move

'I think my boss is tracking me': Nanny calls the cops on entitled Mommy Boss after discovering boss is tracking her every move

There is a slight difference between micromanaging and spying on your employee's every move. It doesn't matter what the job is, even if it's being the caretaker of your children. There has to be a boundary, especially outside of work hours. Here, we have an entitled Mommy Boss, who was already tracking her kids by placing devices on their backpacks. At least she was upfront about that with her nanny. However, after a few strange instances, the nanny started to suspect that her employer was not…

'She deserved it': 38-year-old vegan steals Halloween candy from neighbor's kids, neighbor informs her that the candy she has been eating is not vegan

Some people make their own karma, and this entitled parent seems to be one of those people. She decided to do her neighbor a solid and go trick-or-treating with both the neighbor's kids and her own while the neighbor was busy at work. For the purposes of this story, it's important to note that this entitled parent is also a loud-and-proud vegan. Despite the fact that she initially claimed to be taking care of her neighbor's kids out of the goodness of her heart, she decided to impose a “tax' an…

'Nobody knew who I was': New employee gets ghosted on their first day at work, then receives passive-aggressive message from management

'Nobody knew who I was': New employee gets ghosted on their first day at work, then receives passive-aggressive message from management

It's always unfortunate when red flags start to pop up after you've taken the job. Here , we have a brand new hire who showed up to his first day at work only to have absolutely nobody there to supervise him. In fact, no one even knew who he was. Eventually, he simply shadowed someone else for the duration of his first shift and went home completely confused as to what to do next. Then, a passive-aggressive email from management appeared in his inbox. In the email, management pressured him and…

'If I leave, I'll never set foot in this store again': 17-year-old server reprimanded by coworker for helping out per manager's request, refuses to finish final two weeks

It's hard to forget your first disastrous job experience. Here, we have a 17-year-old server who already had enough with this job before things really escalated. He put in his two weeks' notice because he was tired of repeatedly being given closing shifts that required him to stay nearly two hours after he was supposed to be off. On one night in the midst of those final two weeks, the server was asked by one of his managers to help out his coworker behind the bar, who was clearly out of their d…

Remote worker discovers his gossiping coworker is secretly recording their conversations: 'What is her problem?'

Every coworker enjoys a little bit of gossip every now and then. If you're a fully remote employee like the remote call center workers in this story, it makes sense if you get a little bored and lonely during the work day. That's what innocent gossip with coworkers is all about. However, here we have a Karen coworker who may have accidentally revealed that she has had an ulterior motive this entire time. It turns out that despite the fact that she is the person initiating phone conversations wi…

'I got over 100%': Student infuriates teacher by getting a perfect score on the final with just extra credit, leaving most of the actual test blank

There is nothing like proving an unnecessarily strict authority figure wrong. Here, we have a terrible teacher who never failed to remain biased when grading the essays and assessing the arguments of her students. It got to the point where this Redditor knew he was not going to perform well on the essay portion of his final exam due to her biases. However, when he learned that there was potential for extra credit on the final, he started hatching a plan. The extra credit assignment was as follo…

Aunt demands 13-year-old niece's $500 backpack, one of 50 that she owns, starting rift in the family: '[She] thinks I'm being selfish'

There's a whole lot going on in this post that's really difficult to un- pack (hah, get it) and that I really just can't quite wrap my head around. So, let's start here: Why on earth does a 13-year-old need FIFTY backpacks? With a single bag alone costing $500. And why in the heck does a 13-year-old have their own influencer account?.. And where in the heck are they storing all of these backpacks? At the risk of sounding very “old man yelling at clouds here,”… what in the heck is going on with…

‘Pay the fee and I'll drive you home’: Employee demands coworkers for money after months of driving them around for free, they accuse him of being selfish in response

‘Pay the fee and I'll drive you home’: Employee demands coworkers for money after months of driving them around for free, they accuse him of being selfish in response

A person's relationship with the people they work with can be tricky to handle. On the one hand, despite seeing them every day, those people are not really your friends, they are simply… people you see every day. On the other hand, and stay with me on this one, these are people you see every day , so you might want to be on good terms with them, and not create an awkward situation at the office. That is why I understand this employee's initial instinct to be kind to his coworkers by offering th…

'Hey! You can't park there!': Entitled rich dude assumes delivery man is valet, gives him the keys to his car, backlash ensues

We all know what happens when you assume… This entitled rich guy saw a delivery man at a fancy hotel and assumed he was the valet on hand despite the fact that no one gave him that information and the delivery guy was not even wearing a hotel uniform. Still, assumptions were made and the ensuing consequences were laughable. After the entitled male Karen gave the non-valet guy his keys and left without any time to clear up the confusion, the non-valet knew exactly what to do. He gave the fancy P…
