rude

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most effective, polite ways to shut down conversations with persistent chatterboxes. We've all been there, busy just trying to muddle through a day, maybe in a rush to get somewhere, and then you cross paths with the immovable, breathless, object that is a passionate chatterbox. It's as if they are so involved in venting to you or whatever ears are around, that they're incapable of seeing the clear sign that nobody wants to hear what they have to say. Consider trying out these polite conversation enders the next time you fall prey to a chatterbox in the wild. 

Definition of a power move. Sounds like this table was filled to the brim with toxic BS, and making a mess of an otherwise peaceful environment. When the owner of the restaurant found out the table was hassling his employee, he up and kicked them out. Basically, this sounds like the coolest boss ever. A true fairytale experience for anyone working in the industry, dealing with entitled customers who think they're right just cause they're customers. 

Man, this seller really tried to be reasonable with the choosing beggar at hand, but there's no reasoning with blind entitlement. The dude also manages to be rude, and then walks his attitude back, and then does it again. Good luck to that person getting anything, with that kind of approach. 

Check out more wild entitlement with these entitled people and their unreasonable demands.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various toxic behaviors that are not so slyly passed off as "virtues." Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like someone who is out there putting on the act like they're all high and mighty, while in fact they're just stinking everyone else's existence up with toxic nonsense. So, if any of these ring a bell, they might bring back to mind that time you found yourself in the presence of someone who was just too clueless to recognize they were bringing everyone else around them down. 

Sometimes people just do away with all social decency, and rude entitlement takes the reins. These particular cases are channeling the power of Karen like none other. Proceed with caution, they very well might bring your blood to a boil. 

Sometimes though, Karen gets served up the reality check. Check out the time that a customer turned the tables on Karen over here.

This is why everyone should just be nice to each other, and not go around trash talking people. What's the point of trash talk anyways? What does it do? The look on these rude customers' faces must've been nothing short of pure terror, indeed. 

Like they say, "you can get a job done well, fast or cheap. Pick two." This person wants all of her pet sitting problems solved now, completely and cheaply and from someone who isn't even really available. Plus, she's being a real jerk about it. For another shot of entitled people with unreasonable demands, check out this delusional buyer in need of a cheap car who rejected a $3K Civic.

Sometimes someone asks something so rude, disrespectful or misguided that it hits in a certain way that you can't help but stay salty about it for years. For more cathartic stories of maddening behavior, here are rude and annoying things houseguests did and times people were seriously misjudged.

Having a rude Karen mistake you for a customer service person can be a huge inconvenience, but some people see it as an opportunity. This Karen got way up in a mom's face and ended up playing herself. For another one, here's a shopper who got some petty revenge on a Karen hoarding toilet paper.

Experiencing your loved ones deal with aging is emotional and difficult, to put it lightly. But the moments of clarity when your grandma can sling a hardcore diss at a rude Karen are the kind of stuff you remember for a long time. For another wild Karen encounter, here's a story of a Karen who demanded fresh donuts and got them.

Whether it's an insane boss, a demanding sibling, or a complete stranger who wants a 500 dollar lawnmower delivered to their house for free, demanding entitled people need to leave and take their attitudes with them. No family gathering, community board, review section or online marketplace is safe from entitled individuals with their absurd demands.

Doing any kind of formal or informal business is stressful enough, but these kinds of folks really push it over the edge by being inconsolably rude while making totally irrational demands. These entitled fools are a wast of everyone's time, and they don't seem to understand that. For example, this absurd lying stranger won't pay for a rug and thinks that they've won.

Rudeness and a complete lack of self reflection go hand in hand. This gullible dude really wanted some free art, but like all the other demanding people who want artists to work for free, got trolled. There's some freakish entitlement going around, like this mom who lashed out at her babysitter for getting a better job. 

There's nothing quite like the desperation of someone who hasn't prepared for an assignment. In this case they wanted to have a near stranger's project, like just given to them. Entitlement can really be something else. Something similar happened when this entitled college slacker demanded a classmate's notes and got denied.

This rude tailgater got what was coming to him. Sounds like he was being a bit of a jerk on the road, and the driver decided to take matters into their own hands. They played it beautifully. By purposefully slowing down, they ignited a rage in the tailgater, which led to the tailgater driving right into a speed trap.
