There's so goddamn many people that sometimes it feels impossible to stand out.

Entitled Customer Outraged When Retail Staff Won't Help Him After Close


Anyone who has worked retail knows how this story goes. You're weary after a long day of interacting with hordes of people and glad for the respite that closing the doors offers.

As soon as you've turned the key, a wild Karen appears... peering in through the glass door or a nearby window desperately trying to lock eyes with a wayward employee in order to ensnare them and pull them into their clutches.

Woman Sinks Every Shot, Wins New Car


I can't imagine what must've been going through her mind as she steadily sank every shot she needed to make for the brand new shiny car. It must've been nothing short of an out-of-body experience. Seriously. And the half-court shot there at the end? Get out of here. Enough. Seriously, kudos to her. To pull a feat like this off while under all of that pressure is something else, man.
