"AITA for asking a bakery if the pastries they were selling me were made that day? I went to a bakery when they opened (7 AM) asking about pastries; she told me that* the ones I wanted were not ready yet."

'She was extremely offended.' Rude dude demands fresh pastries despite already being told they were fresh

The unspoken meaning of words can say more than the words themselves. For this reason, it's always best to guard one's words carefully to ensure that you don't accidentally give the wrong impression or make the wrong implication. That's what this guy failed to consider when he basically accused a bakery owner of lying to him when he insisted on receiving only fresh pastries. He had already been into the bakery earlier in the day and been told that the pastry he was after was not ready yet. When…

"At this point, the man loudly scoffs and smirks at me while reaching for his wallet.  He asks, 'This mean anything to you?' while flashing me his badge.  [Did] this guy really just try to extort me for a beer for his underage daughter??  'No, that doesn’t mean anything to me,' I replied.  'Really? Nothing? Pull down that mask and let me see your face.'

'This mean anything to you?': Cop tries to flash his badge and use intimidation to get drinks for underaged daughter

The problem with misusing your authority and making a scene is that it makes all those you are associated with look bad — this includes any organizations or groups who you might be affiliated with. This is why it's so important to conduct oneself in a manner that suits your station -whether you're on duty or off. Just take this off-duty hotel manager who was fired for being rude to the staff of another hotel as a prime example. This server took to Reddit's r/talesfromyourserver community to sha…

"Someone else took their food out, but I go to do the check-back and ask if everything's OK with their meal after a few minutes.  He then goes, "No, my meal didn't come with any sauce", to which I reply "I'm sorry, what sauce would you like Sir?" [...] He goes "Mustard, Dijon Mustard" like he's James Bond."

'I am not paying!': Rude dude demands dijon mustard under duress of displeasure

It's okay to feel a little bit sentimental about your favorite type of sauce. I, for one, am a ketchup guy through and through, you won't catch me far away from a little red bottle that's packed with that sweet tomato-y goodness. Sure, the actual contents of ketchup are probably like 80% sugar, 19% vinegar, and 1% ketchup but that's not something that bothers me in the slightest. I'll eat ketchup on anything and am happy for the disgusted reactions that my creations sometimes evoke. So, in this…

Entitled Cafe Owner Tangles With POS Vendor and Loses, Lives to Regret Their Choice of Words

When you're largely dependent on a specific ‘something’ to keep your business running smoothly, it's never a good idea to upset the people running that thing or treat them poorly. Unfortunately, entitled business owners have yet to learn that they shouldn't mess with these people, or their business could go under. On the other hand, it's fortunate for us because it makes for some great stories. This particular story was just posted to Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by user u/nobjangle…

Frustrated Karen Gets Customer Fired From a Store Where He Didn't Even Work

This guy was fired from a store he didn't even work at after an enraged Karen insisted on his termination. He posted to Reddit's popular r/IDontWorkHereLady in order to share his story. Thanks to retrogressive policies like “The customer is always right" we have conditioned all of these entitled people in the world to think that they can get everything their way. The sad thing is that they are often completely right and they have this worldview reinforced time and time again by constant arse ki…

Couple Gets Served Instant Karma After 'Dine and Dash' Attempt

This couple thought that they could get away with pulling a good ol' fashioned “dine and dash” but luckily the staff were able to pull their plates as they drove off. The police managed to locate the vehicle and let the The ‘dine and dash’ is perhaps the greatest indicator of the decline of our society.

Who has a better story than Bran the Broken? Well, anyone with a first-hand story of watching a Karen getting arrested for starters. This Reddit user, u/SimMinnie, shared a tale more epic (and better written) than the last season of Game of Thrones to the r/EntitledPeople subreddit. It's no secret that we love a good story about an entitled person getting their comeuppance and this one certainly ticks all the boxes. u/SimMinnie explains that the story took place when they were working as a supe…

Woman Brings Dishes From Home to Trick Others Into Washing Them at Work, Coworker Introduces Dishes to the Bin

Sometimes an inappropriate action deserves the appropriate response; it's the simple laws of cause and effect acting out their parts. This is how it was when u/elena247 's coworker decided to execute the clever ploy of bringing their dirty dishes into work to have others wash them. When u/elena247 discovered what their coworker was up to, they decided the appropriate response was to introduce the dirty dishes to the trash can. Sounds like a reasonable plan to us.

The thing about working in the service industry is that customers seem to think they simply know better than you. It doesn't matter if the sky is getting dark or everyone else leaves the patio like rats scuttling from a sinking ship. There's a type of person who just can't be bothered by someone who they think is “below them.” And just such a thing happened here, to the satisfaction of this employee.
