Life just loves to throw curveballs our way. If it seems like things are kicking along smoothly, you probably get that uncomfortable ache in the pit of your stomach that everything's about to get shaken up in one way or another. It just seems to be the natural course of life. We can always count on it being consistently inconsistent. These people's real life plot twists certainly contribute toward that outlook. 

Wherever there are people minding their own business, trying to go about their stressful day, there's always a Karen lurking somewhere nearby, ready to make everyone's lives just a little bit harder. The retail world and service industry are no strangers to the obnoxious Karen who seemingly exists to abuse shift workers, and it seems like the plague has produced a new breed of Super Karens who complain to managers about anything and everything all while refusing to wear a face mask in the midst of a global pandemic. 

For the essential workers out there who have had to continue dealing with crazy ass Karens, these memes and posts are for you. Thanks to the internet, the evil-doings of Karens are now very well-documented, and so we can roast Karen from the safety of our own homes.

You would've thought that with the air conditioning malfunctioning in the AT&T Center last night that the Miami Heat would've had an advantage. Nope. LeBron's leg muscles saw to that, cramping up something fierce during Game 1. This isn't the first time LeBron has had to leave a game because of cramps, prompting the Twitterverse to run wild.

Everyone's got 20/20 hindsight, but many are blind when it comes to predicting outcomes and sharing takes that stand the test of time.

For us passive observers on the other hand, this stuff is mad entertaining.

We're proud to say that it's not often our card gets declined. Usually it's because our bank has mistakenly flagged a purchase as suspicious due to travel or (gulp) overspending. The few times there's been an issue, baristas kindle wave away apologies and we walk away with a free coffee. But what if they weren't so kind? What if the people who provide us with paid services actually decided to get...revenge? 

The "Imagine Your Card Declines" Twitter meme explored this theme back in early September, but Redditors have been expanding on it by adding amusing images. Most of the "Credit Card Declines" memes imagine folks such as tattoo artists or therapists "undoing" their work as a consequence of nonpayment. They're obviously ridiculous, but seem to be pretty damn appealing to the internet. We've put together some of our favorite examples of the format, but you can read more about its origins over at Know Your Meme. 

Thanksgiving doesn't always go well. In fact, sometimes the only thing that's good about Thanksgiving is the food, and even that isn't a guarantee. And no one knows that better than these people...
