'As you wish Mr. Principal': Principal Shuts Down Student’s Booth Due to ‘High Profits’, Leading To Student’s Clever Compliance With School Policy

Karen Refuses to Tip Servers Despite Restaurant Continuously Complying With Her Demands

As a former server, I can attest to the fact that ninety-nine percent of customers are Karens. However, it's our positive outlook that keeps us sane.

The story below is an account of a frustrated waiter who has to deal with a table of Karens who won't pay the well-deserving servers. It's one thing when the tab…

Funny Times Nextdoor Brought the Petty to the Neighborhood

Thanks to the Internet, we know that this is not the case in th…
