Man, anyone who has ever worked a customer service job will appreciate the fact that you never know what kind of craziness you're bound to encounter on a shift. It could be juggling customers' mythologically strong coffee orders, or it could be having to work with someone who is the pure example of chaotic good. Always something new in the life of a barista.

Sparkling water is a decisive topic. Some appreciate a light alternative to juice and soda, and everyone else demands to know where the flavor is. It's hard for many of us to spend money on a product whose selling point is that there's almost nothing in it, and that generates some pretty hilarious complaints. For more twitter stuff, here are funny tweets to give that day a boost.

Sometimes school staff doesn't exactly have a consistent policy, like the time staff made a student patiently wait to report a fire. After some absolute BS rule nitpicking by the staff, this person decided to read up on the rules and dress with extreme panache. Sometimes students get the best of their teachers, like this student who made a mockery of a robotics competition with a dry ice loophole.

Man oh man, these entitled human beings and their unyielding series of demands just keep on coming out of the woodwork. It seems as if it'll never end. We'll always have the next person ready to ruin an otherwise reasonable and peaceful series of negotiations with nothing short of pure delusional entitlement. In this case, we have an influencer who expects free accommodations in exchange for offering the hotel some exposure. Let's just say she was not nearly established enough for that to even be within the realm of consideration.
Check out some more absurd demands of entitled people over here.

Every now and again the wonderful beings of the Tumblr world deliver a quick, impactful, wholesome story that hits us right in the feels-plex. In this case, we hear about a barista who worked in a rough part of town, but ended up being helped out by some kids that went full "chaotic good" mode. Seriously, picking a lock to help take the trash out is about as chaotic good as it comes.

Man, this manager sounds like a slimy, lying piece of work. They totally led their employee on with the whole commission structure, but their employee had the nerve to call them out when it all came down to it. Being able to turn that letter of resignation in right when everything came to a head must've been immensely satisfying.

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.

People often think that it's the kids who are the most frustrating part of a teacher's job. The fact is, true headaches can come from a disengaged or spiteful parent.

When a customer comes in slurring and demanding a chest tattoo of Mario and Luigi using the same toilet, any semi-responsible tattoo artist is going to ask them if they're sure about it. Some people here had an artist take pity on them and just said no, while others insisted. Here are some stories of dumb tattoo translations and some straight up strange and troubling tattoos.

Karen's out for blood after her own kids drew all over her walls. Given a completely reasonable option, she chose to not listen and hound this building supervisor on vacation.

For someone who's sure they're "going to be a big streamer," they don't seem to have a lock on how to pull down any worthwhile business relationships. It's hard to get inside the heads of entitled people with their absurd audacity, but something tells us it's like being in an iron cage filled with spider webs and screaming. Influencers should know that people don't want to be paid in exposure.

Even if this ended up being a collection of drawings made by the same dude, they're still awesome. With that being said, the idea that a couple neighbors beefing were somehow able to put aside their differences, and actually sit down together to watch some baseball, is a bright moment for humanity.

This bank just refused to be considerate and treat a human being going through a profoundly hard time, with a bit of humanity. No, instead it all boiled down to playing everything strictly by the book, even when playing it by the book was devoid of logic altogether. Fortunately, she was able to take her revenge eventually, to the tune of a five figure sum of money. Check out some more juicy pro revenge drama with this story about a scummy collection agency messing with a guy's credit score.
