There's no shortage of people who strut around like the whole universe revolves around them, and those people are mad annoying (especially if you work in the service industry). But it can be pretty hilarious when someone is entitled to their own detriment, or when choosing beggars get taxed extra for their rudeness. For example, when I used to bartend back in the day, I enjoyed being generous to customers for no reason. It felt good to improve some random stranger's day with a free drink or sma…

My house, my rules

Mean girls never grow up

Homeowner associations ( HOAs ) get a pretty bad rap, especially on Reddit. There's even a whole subreddit called r/fuckHOA dedicated to seething stories about the various ways in which HOAs piss people off. One redditor recently shared their own tale of petty revenge on their HOA to r/MaliciousCompliance . When one of u/FirstContribution236 's neighbors (who happened to be on the HOA board) threatened to take action against OP for refusing to take down their security camera, OP opted for playi…

Most decent able-bodied human beings out there don't even have to think before offering their seat on the bus to an elderly person or someone with a disability. It's one of those basic unspoken rules in society that everyone ought to understand. Of course, there are always people who won't get up for one reason or another, whether out of sheer absentmindedness or maybe just not giving a shit, but it's pretty rare to experience someone so entitled that they actually have the audacity to ask a pe…

It's hard to let the baby bird leave the nest. Many parents struggle to balance being involved in their kids' lives and being overly involved. I understand the struggle! At one point, you had to work day in and day out to ensure this young human survived. Flash forward a few years, and they seem like they don't need you anymore. This transition can be challenging for parents, but it's of the utmost importance that parents give kids, especially their adult kids, space to function without them. T…

You know that scene in Toy Story 3 when all of Andy's toys accept their deaths in the fiery pits of landfill hell before getting saved by those claw-obsessed little alien boys? Well, I sure do. That was my first exposure to the horror that is The Dump. The dump feels like a hypothetical location that you couldn't go to until you're swimming in the viscera of children's media. Who could forget Spongebob and Patrick dressed up as choice cuts while hanging out at The Dump, or Cartman convincing Bu…

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Spongebob? The first three seasons of this show defined my childhood, and I lowkey feel bad for all of the kids whose parents didn't allow them to watch it. Whenever a fellow third grader looked me in the eyes and told me they did not know the Ripped Pants song , it broke my heart. When I was a kid, I assumed some parents banned the show because the voices were grating. That was the reason my mom hated The Fairly Odd Parents. Now I realize that…

The hallmark trait of a Karen is entitlement. Most Karens want to control every person around them, even while they are making the most demanding and absurd requests. Not only do they believe the world revolves around them, but they will ensure that everyone around them knows the world revolves around them and make it the public's problem. One of the worst breeds of Karens are those who accuse you of things you didn't do. Whether you're serving them in a restaurant or walking down the street ne…

This tattoo and piercing studio isn't going to put up with Karen's nonsense.

She deserved it

Subtle as a brick

This entitled Karen insisted on ordering a salad. However, the salad she was ordering was, in fact, not a salad. Despite the waiter's attempts to explain this to her, she refused to listen and then proceeded to have a meltdown once her "salad" arrived.

Dealing with Karens while waiting tables has to be one of the worst parts of the job. That's what this server had to endure when a group of Karens came into their restaurant at closing and demanded eggs Benedict without the hollandaise sauce.

If someone is going out of their way to do your job for you, it would probably pay to be kind and appreciative towards that person. Alas, the types of managers who are putting their subordinates in this position probably also lack the basic people skills necessary to make this realization. The thing is, there are all kinds of clever ways that you can “delegate” your own tasks to subordinate workers; as a manager, I've worked for certain organizations in the past that would dangle the carrot of…

Oh boy did that manager learn their lesson.
