ridiculous

Sure, if the hill you're willing to die on costs four cents out of the charity bin, go ahead and die on that hill. Customers sometimes make demands with stupid implications, like this customer who wanted a pound of chicken wings and got less wings or this guy who demanded to ride in a go kart with no engine.

Now that's how you use the system against a maniacal outright toxic manager. Mike didn't know what to do. Beautiful work, really. There's also a tremendous amount of patience at play in this scenario. Sometimes you've got to wait it out to execute the perfect pro revenge. Check out another glorious tale of pro revenge with this scummy collection agency that messed with a guy's credit score.

Translation fails inspire all kinds of hilarious confusion between two perfectly rational human beings. In this case, we have a customer unknowingly repeatedly pleading for nothing at all. If you're the bartender on the other side of that mishap, do you let the oblivious stupidity persist, or do you correct the translation fail as soon as possible? Could be a tough call if you end up wanting to have some fun with it. 

Nothing is more infuriating than dealing with someone who is higher up on the chain of command that makes decisions without having the necessary understanding of the company, to execute successfully. By the sound of it, this CEO took an otherwise functional structure and ruined it with a Karen who had no idea what she was doing. The CEO went so far as to put Karen in charge of the people that actually knew what to do. Oh, no. 

The true wonder is that he thought he'd be able to fix the dang thing in the first place. The Dunning-Kruger was in full effect. Ouch. 

Man, we're not even sure who is worse in this equation: Wendy or the scumbag property management company. They let that place devolve into a complete mess of a housing situation. At least Wendy learned her lesson in the value of playing nice with everyone, and not doing something terrible like trying to scam a tenant out of thousands of dollars. 

Pro Tip: Research something before you ban it. 

It's just plain old messed up that people can be so nonchalant about destroying the reputation of restaurants, with employees that are just trying to make ends meet. This particular customer sounds like quite the two-faced nightmare. She'd lie and say everything was all good right before pulling a 180, and leaving a scathing review that wasn't even honest. 

This quick and entertaining Tumblr post highlights some golden nuggets of wisdom from a Cowboy Tips passage, of all things. Maybe all that any of us need to make it in this crazy game of life, is to just remember some solid cowboy tips. That could be it. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the still-on submarines.

Every day of our lives we makes mistakes, but luckily most of us know better than to hit ourselves with facepalm moments from the dimmest bulbs. If there were ever an opportunity to feel smart about your own life decisions, it would be while reviewing the monumentally dumb facepalm moments some other people manage to find themselves in.

Man, with all the stories about Karens going off on customer service employees and generally depositing large amounts of toxic energy into an otherwise peaceful environment, we hardly ever here from their kids about how difficult it is to have them as parents. This thread peels back the curtain on what it's like to grow up with a Karen as your mom. It's no easy situation.
