It's not that serious

Don't judge a book by its cover.

This ain't the time or the place

Intergenerational crime

Grab your suitcase, let's go.

Karens have been around long before we labeled them as Karens. A lot of boomers don't like the Karen label (usually because they display some Karen tendencies themselves), but boomers can't deny that the term Karen serves a specific and useful linguistic function. There didn't use to be a concise word to describe an entitled, impatient, cruel, boomer white woman who drives everyone up the wall. The absolute worst thing about Karens is the self-centeredness they seem to all possess. They perceiv…

What you do outside of work hours is your business. No customer, parent, or boss should have any say in what you do when you're off the clock. I feel bad for people with highly scrutinized professions, like teachers, who need to drive an hour away to feel comfortable going to a bar. So many parents expect teachers to be more moral than them, even when the teachers are nowhere near their kids. It's a highly unrealistic expectation that shouldn't be projected onto anybody. Teachers aren't the onl…

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…

Totally broke the illusion

For shame.

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…

There are very few places where adults are punished for acting a fool . You can't scream and yell at work or the airport. That's it. Technically, you can, but it can have incredibly dire consequences for your life. Everywhere else, yelling at people because you're mildly irritated is not only common but often condoned. When somebody yells about their food at a restaurant, said restaurant is likely to comp their order, thereby validating the bad behavior. Constant adult temper tantrums can ruin…

Flying with kids is so nerve-wracking. The most stressful part is gauging whether your kids will cry or have tantrums inside an enclosed metal tube for three hours. The second biggest challenge is keeping them occupied, which is much easier nowadays with tablets and iPads. A tertiary concern might be that your kids could make a mess on the plane. Luckily, if they don't throw up or have an accident, most messes are easy to pick up! At least, so we think. Semi-famous people are obsessed with twee…

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…
