This (former) coffee shop worker has had a confusing week as they switch jobs. It really shouldn't have been that difficult for them, but as they described it, their new bosses suddenly decided they “don't need you anymore.”

One business owner was referred to a potential customer who has an entitled attitude. Mess with a professional and find out what happens, lady! If your business is a big chain, customers might flock to you. But for smaller businesses with just one or two employees, word of mouth can keep your company alive. Especially in a business like lawn care, having a referral from someone who appreciated your work goes a long way. It's a great compliment to know you made someone's front yard look so nice…

This kiddo is all but guaranteed to wake up with coal in her stocking next Christmas. Every generation eventually finds themselves wondering about the kids these days. They're living out such a different version of childhood than the one you had while growing up. No matter which generation you're from, you probably spent it in entirely different ways than someone who's 20 or 30 years your senior. Older generations grew up in an era where you spent all day outside, and when televisions had three…

If, at first, you don't succeed… tell a sob story and beg your target for cash instead. This is the scammer's creed—at the first sign of their scam going sideways, they'll crumple like paper and resort to tearful begging instead. That, or get overwhelmingly aggressive. The begging is really just the continuation of the same initial scam, and just because you were wary and caught them out on the initial attempt doesn't mean you won't be suckered in by the crocodile tears that follow. Commenters…

People have a habit of deflecting their own problems onto other people. If you own a business and don't schedule or hire enough people for a holiday weekend, that's probably your own fault—and your own problem to resolve. Still, it's pretty common for business owners and managers to turn around and blame workers for not being available at the last minute when they already have plans. This worker shared their experience on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, sharing screenshots of an exchange that oc…

Don't make promises to your kid that you can't keep! An entitled mom apparently had to figure that out as she navigated a text exchange with a stranger that quickly devolved into hilarity. As the OP explained, their dog had outgrown a couple of harnesses . They decided to just give them away to a good home, and soon they were texting with at least two people who wanted the dog products. However, as the OP shared, it wasn't all smooth sailing due to this entitled mom's demanding behavior . She c…

Having a bad boss is never easy, so gain some vicarious joy from these brave quitters.

Dealing with people is the worst part of any job. Even those who have somehow escaped a 9 to 5 existence and have managed to make a living or side hustle — doing gig or contract work — still have to deal with this.

People tend to think they have sole rights to any name they choose. Guarding it with the same vigor that Mickey Mouse's lawyers use to protect his trademarked silhouette (don't even think of attaching three circles to each other for your logo.) It's almost as if people don't realize that their “Emily” is one of the millions, owning to the name being one of the most popular for the last 30 years. The same goes for any name. Unless you're naming your child something you really shouldn't (ie X Æ A…

This groomzilla had a mouthful to say to one of his wedding vendors. But luckily, this vendor is not new to the scene — or to cranky clients being totally demanding and insane.

This worker shared a lengthy exchange that occurred between themselves and their boss over availability to cover shifts for an already published roster. Things started off rocky, with the boss sending passive-aggressive and immature responses to the young worker's level-headed reasoning. It wasn't long before the conversation escalated into threats of termination. The fact that the worker appears to be a minor makes the conversation that much worse; the fact that the boss's lack of maturity is…

Texting is a way of life for most people, an activity they do dozens of times per day, so it only makes sense that some insane messages will leak out to the internet. Whatever you write is set in stone, even if you delete the message. So you have to be careful what you're saying — you never know when it will be posted on the internet for the LOLz. Because let's face it, people are super weird , and they just say the strangest, most unexpected things sometimes! Some of the funniest texting fails…

Buying and selling items means interacting with random people who want your stuff — and sometimes they're a bit kooky in their demands. One person shared their experience with this. As they wrote on the r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit, their sister had to deal with this strange potential buyer as she was trying to offload a stroller. Right from the beginning, the potential buyer has an odd way of speaking, which probably didn't help their argument. They wanted the seller to hand deliver the package…

Phishing is a very real threat —so why does it seem so ridiculous every time you see a story about it? Every time it makes news —or happens in your own workplace— the story is always somewhere along the lines of “Bob from accounting bought $100,000 of gift cards for fake CEO” or “Deborah from HR gave all the company's passwords to someone impersonating her boss.” You always walk wondering just what in the heck these people were thinking… How on earth did they fall for that? Usually, phishing at…

An insane Karen sent this woman a message asking to buy her service dog and after receiving multiple “Nos”, she launched into Super Saiyan Karen mode. Screenshots of the exchange were posted to Reddit, where they have been making rounds in relevant subreddits. This thread was shared to Reddit's r/entitledb*tch subreddit, which deals with a predictable subject matter. Often users will post exchanges, such as this one, or text-based stories to the sub in order to out entitled Karens or vent a lit…

This mother returned the family dog to the animal shelter, an act that has infuriated the internet after screenshots of a text message exchange were posted in this viral thread . The very thought of this happening to the poor teen and their dog breaks out heart. It's astounding how cold and callous some people can be. The screenshots were shared on Reddit 's r/ MildlyInfuriating subreddit by Redditor u/Bucket0fMilk, who is reportedly the son of the mother in the text message exchange. Despite d…
