"His first words to me are 'weak handshake bro'": 35+ People who absolutely hated someone from the moment they opened their mouth


First impressions really do matter! These people told r/askreddit about the people who they knew they wouldn't get along with from the first minute of conversation, and it was quite eye opening. 

People tend to tell you who they are — you just have to listen. A few teachers took to the comments to express their frustration with parents who love to tell these teachers how much their kids hate reading. In some cases, they bragged that their kid is illiterate! The teachers certainly didn't like that, as they wrote that these parents tend to avoid making their kids do homework. 

Other folks wrote in about the ways they first met their neighbors. One literally described himself as an a****** from the very first meeting! Not all jerks will just tell you that they suck, but when they do, it's time to run for the hills.

Next, peer into the lives of this one entitled family. This guy just doesn't understand why his BIL won't travel with him, but there's a 5-figure reason the BIL is irate.

‘Gen Z Sucks’ : Baby Boomers Spark Debate on Reddit Thread Regarding the New Tech-Savvy Generation


Are you 'with the times', or are you a Boomer? It's kind of a given that generational differences are going to spark heated debates. Boomers hate Gen X who hate Millennials. But who do these three generations hate the most? Gen Z, of course. We live in an era where generations don't really mix all that frequently. Youngsters seek out the freedom that independent living offers as soon as possible. 

The internet is rampant (Ahem, Reddit) with generational debates, and as Gen Z yap on about the privilege older people had regarding the economy back in the day ('We'll never own a house!'), baby boomers bemoan what they discern as fragility in the younger generation, as well as 'their lack of work ethic'. As usual, everybody has something to say, and the best place to say it is obviously on the internet.

Better yet, on r/askmen, where this debate surprisingly took place. I'd expect it on r/askreddit, but the subreddit for men seemed like an interesting place to pose this question: What's something you're a total "Boomer" about, even if you're "with the times" for most everything else?

In my personal opinion, everything always sucks, for different reasons. The rationale is ever-changing, and we're never gonna stop complaining. I can just imagine the criticism that Gen Z is going to have for Generation Alpha (Yep, already a new generation nearly in their mid-teens y'all. I feel old…). Maybe something along the lines of 'You're so lucky to have been born after the economy balanced out, 'cuz in MY day we could NEVER have bought a house'.

There are actually various analysts that have stated that this Alpha generation is gonna be the best educated, most technologically immersed, and wealthiest generation yet. Excuse me while I cry Millennial tears y'all. You can scroll down to check out the debate. Also, feel free to check out these hilarious coworker memes if you're the kind of employee with one foot out the door.

'If you continue to speak to me in such a manner, I will terminate this call': Karen goes off on customer service rep, gets her comeuppance


Never forget those calls are being recorded... We have all had a difficult experience dealing with silly bureaucratic rules with internet service, credit card companies, and the like. But here's the thing: as frustrating as these rules are, it's never a result of the decision-making of the customer service representative on the other line. In fact, most customer service reps don't want to make things inconvenient. If they could solve your problems in an instant without having to hear you babble and complain, they most certainly would. 

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/ithinkitmightbe, shows what happens when a testy Karen gets exactly what she deserves. In this case, she was warned by the Redditor that they will terminate the call if she continues to be, well, her Karen self. However, she wouldn't relent and even said "well terminate it then!" You can just guess what happened next. Keep scrolling for the full story and for more anecdotes in the comments section. When you're finished, here's another story about a boomer Karen's revenge!
