The fact that this manager ended up quitting after unsuccessfully trying to humiliate an employee, is the real icing on the cake. It's a true mystery how some of these incompetent managers end up being in the positions of power that they are. At least this particular manager was ultimately defeated. 

It's people like Fran that give the assistant managers of the world a bad rap. In this case, we see Fran express no level of sympathy and understanding for her absolutely exhausted employee who was fresh off an overnight shift. But alas, as will happen, the employee hit their breaking point, and decided to put into play some delightful malicious compliance. Fortunately, that malicious compliance ends up serving as the catalyst for getting Fran out of the business. 

Check out some more juicy malicious compliance content with this lying Karen who used her old employer as a reference, and then it backfired terribly.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various downsides of being an adult that teenagers don't realize. It's funny, when we're younger we can give ourselves over to this notion that when we grow up everything's going to be a whole lot better; but then you get there, and it's just a new world of unforeseen responsibilities. Suddenly, you find yourself craving the days of your youth when all you had to worry about was getting to bed at a reasonable time for school the next morning. If that. 

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

Oh man, the look on that choosing beggar of a coworker's face must've been more delicious than any kind of Thanksgiving dinner. This guy addressed an unappreciative, office bully in just the kind of way that makes it deserving of a petty revenge medal. 

Sometimes the manager needs to receive a harsh lesson on proper management. In this case, Karen was way out of line when it came to the reasoning behind writing an employee up. Literally, the employee did exactly what any helpful human being would do when faced with a scenario where the office runs out of paper--they got more paper! But no, Karen insisted on staging a whole meltdown. Fortunately, someone else was around and ready to give Karen the management education she sorely needed. 

Replies this clever are pretty hard to come by; you've kinda just just gotta be in the right place at the right time, and brands like Wendy's - the absolute champions of the roast - know this all too well. Some of these people seriously deserve an award for their witty replies!

Spooky season inspires all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. With that being said, we can't say that we've ever encountered this kind of situation, involving one person wanting to put a birthday hat on their neighbor's pumpkin. It is a pretty dang petty move that could go on to inspire a full-fledged war between the neighbors. 

We love us some clever comebacks from the online world's spicy silver tongues. As long as there's a comments section or people insist on clogging up social media feeds with mindless tweets and statuses that could've used a second set of eyes, and a dash of logic, we'll have other folks waiting eagerly nearby, ready to light them up in the comments section. We've also got that gem from the legend, Stephen Hawking. Check out some more confidence-shattering comebacks and insults over here.

Man, what compels a person to go through all the trouble to win a dang auction and then refuse to pay up? Just not cool, man. Well, this auction winner ended up learning their lesson the hard way. Well played on the part of the person who went ahead and won all those other auctions. A nice mix of petty and pro revenge if we do say so ourselves!

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the times that egotistical people got reminded that they "have no power here." Well, the thread isn't all egomaniacs. Sometimes, it's a case of someone literally not having power. Like the homie that couldn't pay his electricity bill because he couldn't access the internet he needed to get the job done. It can be a deeply satisfying experience to watch someone who was power tripping all over the place get put in necessary check. 

Leave it to the Canadian Giant to put the entitled Karen of the hour in her place. Love nothing more than seeing an entitled Karen that was otherwise on an uninterrupted tear, get put in her place. Beautiful stuff, really. For more Karen gold check out the time that Karen claimed she was sold a faulty computer, and ended up learning otherwise.

We're not sure what Karen was thinking on this one. She took what was otherwise a low key coupon designed to help anyone in need, and turned it into a whole situation where she was paying even more money in legal fees than she ever could've imagined in the first place. A definite loss. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about Karen threatening an employee with a write-up and getting a lesson in management.

Turns out that you can consume clever witticisms all over the internet. You just have to know where to look. Fortunately, the subreddit r/brandnewsentence makes that mission a little easier.

Go crazy. We're here for a good time, not a boring time.

Some people refuse to keep their tempers in check when they get on the road. This only ever breeds more chaos and stress for everyone else that's just trying to get around. In this case, we have a crazy, angry driver who seemed like he was poised to have a meltdown over something, from the moment he got behind the wheel. Well, he certainly met his match in this motorcycle driver. The motorcyclist cut the road rager zero slack, and proceeded to stall him right into a hopeless puddle of rage.
