'I just lost it laughing': Karenzilla accosts a minimum wage worker and tries to steal another customer's snow tires; gets put in her place and run out of the store

Snow season is upon us in the northern States and like they do every season, some residents seem to have forgotten the importance of appropriate snow-gear. Somehow every year, there are procrastinators (who are apparently incapable of checking the weather forecast) that are neglecting to make appropriate arrangements for the upcoming snow days. Karens everywhere are ready to accost their local minimum wage workers, morphing into their final form as the rudest, most entitled customers in town.

'We wait even longer for a third tow truck to arrive': Service tech tries to reschedule appointment located on steep hill, gets themself and numerous other vehicles stuck

This service tech is used to driving to jobs in different neighborhoods, but they weren't prepared for this weather. In any job, if your boss has your back, it makes your life a lot easier. However, many managers think that their employees are always trying to be sneaky or deceitful. They have no trust in their decision-making abilities…even though they presumably hired them for such qualities. This person, u/EmuExternal6244, shared a story from a snowy day on the job. As a lead service tech, t…

'I hung up and ignored all calls from my boss': Restaurant boss asks employee to walk five miles in below zero temperatures, critiques their 'work ethic'

'I hung up and ignored all calls from my boss': Restaurant boss asks employee to walk five miles in below zero temperatures, critiques their 'work ethic'

Some bosses don't believe in excuses. They have a zero tolerance policy for latenesses or absences, as if they're managing robots, and not human beings. If you've never worked in the food service industry, let me tell you a secret: snow days are often incredibly busy times at restaurants of all kinds. It seems counterintuitive---after all, if the roads are closed and temperatures are in the negatives, who's going to want to go out for a burger? What happens, though, is that people lose power an…

'[The] customer thought we were moving her stuff too slow': Movers refund entitled customer to avoid her negative reviews

This move was a headache from start two finish for one small moving company. One of the movers shared their story to r/MaliciousCompliance---and it is a perfect example of that! The OP, u/CHAINSMOKERMAGIC, writes that they worked at a tiny moving company, usually tackling one job at a time with their boss Mike.

'The very best thing he stopped was clearing away snow': Company director lays off workers, truck driver employee creates massive delays in return

'The very best thing he stopped was clearing away snow': Company director lays off workers, truck driver employee creates massive delays in return

This company laid off a bunch of people , and the remaining employees are not thrilled about the downsizing decision. No employee wants to be part of a company that's a sinking ship. If the business you're in starts downsizing and letting people go, it can create a ripple effect. The remaining employees will be walking on eggshells around their bosses, not knowing if they'll be the next to go. And with their coworkers leaving a gap in production, some people are sure to be burdened with additio…

'Thank you... for paying for a free service': Family bars neighbor from shovelling their walk because he 'sprayed [their] tree with snow'

'Thank you... for paying for a free service': Family bars neighbor from shovelling their walk because he 'sprayed [their] tree with snow'

If you do something badly enough, you might not get asked to do it again. This dude was just trying to be a good neighbor — but he could tell when his good deeds were unwanted. Growing up near the Rocky Mountains , this person and their family had to deal with snow a lot. Luckily for the OP, their dad owned a snow blower. Instead of shovelling, which takes ages, they could just take care of the snow without pulling a muscle. Plus, in a snow storm, shovelling can be futile anyway. All your hard…

'I see Dan coming back in, smiling the biggest grin': Movie theater employee works all night to shovel every snowflake, gains 12 hours of overtime pay

'I see Dan coming back in, smiling the biggest grin': Movie theater employee works all night to shovel every snowflake, gains 12 hours of overtime pay

What the boss says, goes, even if the jobs takes hours. This guy was just doing what the boss said, down to the letter, and his adherence to the rules ended excellently. Lots of entry levels jobs require you to sign off on some rules before you begin the job. And one of those rules usually says something along the lines of, “The employee will complete additional tasks as needed.” With that phrase, bosses have the leeway to get their employees to do almost anything under the guise of “additional…

'City folk come at the farmer': Tractor-driving farmer quits plowing snow from neighbors' yard after neighbor tells him 'do it later, or not at all'

A new guy in town learned to be careful what he asks for from his neighbors . As u/Doriantalus shared, they grew up on a dariy farm, where they have a typical farm lifestyle . That means waking up at the crack of dawn to start farm chores — cows need to be fed and milked at specific times of day, so it's important that the farmers are consistent. The OP's dad sounds like a really nice guy. OP writes that each winter, he would wake up before chore time — around 3 AM — in order to plow every neig…

This woman was incensed that a teenager would dare to snowboard around her, but she didn't know who she was speaking to. Snow sports can be a great source of entertainment during the winter months.

Naturally, many trails for snowboarding or skiing are public areas — you have to share the space. This Karen a…

'They have zero etiquette': Guy serves ice cold revenge to neighbor who steals his freshly shoveled parking space

Snow shoveling is a grueling task, and one that basically no one wants to do. On r/pettyrevenge , this OP shared their own tale of revenge, served cold, to an annoying neighbor . However, the commenters are completely split on who is wrong in this situation. Disputes with neighbors can be messy, especially when it comes to shared spaces like a parking lot or street parking. Plus, as some commenters pointed out, there are different sorts of rules depending on where you're from, and the severity…

The trouble started after the OP and their wife made a trip in the…

This infuriated woman vowed, "I'm going to get you in sooo much trouble !" to a baffled 13-year-old snowboarder . Some entitled folks just don't understand the concept of sharing. It's one of the most basic rules of humanity, yet some people just want everything for themselves. This woman couldn't bear the thought of sharing land with a snowboarder — she should have known how ridiculous that is! As the OP writes, they just wanted to snowboard on their family's property.
