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…

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…

Anyone who has worked as a waiter knows that people who don't tip are the worst. In the United States, many waiters only get paid $2 hourly and, therefore, only survive on tips. Some restaurants don't even pay their servers an hourly wage. This is basically common knowledge at this point, so for most people, not tipping is simply out of the question. But there are always those people who get angry for the insistence that they tip. I find that these come from two camps. The first camp is Boomers…

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

Subtle as a brick

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 you told us a few years ago that insane Karens would still be a hot topic, we might not believe you, and we would definitely not want to believe you. Rage filled, entitled people are a plague upon the world, and it seems like that's especially true here in the United State s as well as across the pond in the United Kingdom. During the darkest days of the Covid-19 pandemic, it seemed like mentions of Karens and their insane meltdowns were popping up every hour, so obviously the same is true f…

Mean girls never grow up

Christmas is right around the corner, and you know what that means: there are 10 million things you need to do at any given moment, and you don't have time for any of them! If you have kids, it's even worse. I don't even know how parents today can deal with the Elf on the Shelf nonsense, putting up Christmas decorations, buying and wrapping presents, and ensuring their families have a good Christmas. Naturally, if you have that much responsibility, some of your obligations will fall through the…

Most of the joy of owning or residing in your own place is that, while you're in that space, the rest of the world can be damned and leave you the hell alone. This is a privilege that is a huge motivator for a lot of folks who seek to enter themselves into immeasurable debt just to have a place that they can call their own. A place away from all the travelers, Karens, and other nuisances that are the entitled people of the world. Imagine this user's shock and horror when he was confronted by a…

We really should all just stay home.

I have a confession to make: I wore a white dress to the first and only wedding I've ever been to. Granted, I was 8-years old, and the flower girl, and the bride helped pick out my dress. Although I got away with it then, I'll never be able to again. If there's one thing that Reddit has taught me is that wearing white at a wedding is a crime that will not be forgiven. I'm going to my first wedding since my flower girl debut this weekend, and I'm kind of nervous that the pink dress I picked out…

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…

For shame.

Sex Education is one of those topics that some people have a challenging time breaching with their kids. My parents were never the kind of people to try to tell me some hogwash about a stork and a baby; They were not in the business of baloney. I don't remember the exact moment when I realized what sex was because it was more of a gradual conversation throughout many years and, therefore, not so shocking to me. The one thing I do remember about our most memorable birds and the bees talk is that…
