'You don't know if she was a Karen? Seriously?': Woman shares her Karen mother's self-centered restaurant antics


"Don't try to give my mom onions," warned u/OceanPoet13, before sharing a few funny stories of her mother's "Karen-esqe" antics at restaurants. In a post to r/F***YouKaren, the user wondered if her late mother was actually a Karen or not! She relayed a few stories that happened due to the OP's mother trying to guilt people. As the OP shared, her mother decided one day that she didn't just dislike onions, she was allergic to them now. She was certainly not shy about sharing her newfound allergy with restaurant staff, but according to the OP, she'd ask lots of questions about food prep. 

On other occasions that Mama Karen didn't get her way, she acted out to prove her point. As the writer shared, she wasn't sure if her mom was technically a Karen, since she wasn't alway rude exactly, just a bit quirky and demanding. The commenters shared their opinions on that as well. Let's remember — people have layers. Like onions. Buh-dum-tss!

'You totally bombed that social interaction': Employee tells coworker on last day that they are not friends


We all have that one coworker... you know, the one who tries too hard to be your friend. The one who is totally entertaining to chat with during the day, exchange side-eye with during meetings, or vent to occasionally. But are you going to actually befriend this person outside of work hours, especially after leaving the job? Absolutely not!

 

This thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Future_Wrangler_5817, is a great example, however, of what not to do with that coworker. No matter how annoying they are or how ridiculous they may be, it is so much easier to just smile, be nice, and never actually text them after you leave. Telling off your coworker and making them feel awful is just a waste of your time. Chances are the coworker was also just being polite and wasn't actually trying to maintain a friendship.

Funniest Anarchist Memes for Victimized Millennials Who Can't Stand Another Day in the Workforce


The work world has changed quite a bit in the last 30 years. Many millennials believed that if you went to college, you could get a high paying job just like that. Maybe this totally used to be true, but now here you are, wasting away in some cubicle making (barely above) minimum wage, staring at spreadsheets through your blue-blocker glasses, wondering if there is more to life than living and dying at your desk so that your boss strut around the water cooler and your CEO can drive a Maserati. Those anarchist thoughts really start to set in by the end of the work week, especially when you're on day 847 of 'getting this bread'. No amount of coffee can open your eyes at this point and the thought of quitting on the spot and starting a new life on the road in South America is starting to sound pretty good. The only thing that would make your job better would be if the building burned down and everyone still got their quarterly bonus. Salutations.

'You aren't his ATM': Dude refuses to lend money to overspending brother, but their mother disagrees


One guy posted his recent family drama to Reddit, asking if he really needs to be responsible for his brother's complicated financial situation. As he wrote to r/AmItheA******, this guy explained that he and his brother are both adults with families, but the ways they spend their money are quite. For the OP, living with kids and a wife, he tends to be more conservative with his money. 

He decided to use a chunk of his money to add a plush bathroom to his house. If you've ever lived in a house with only one bathroom, you totally know how difficult that can be. Two bathrooms for four people seems about right. But the OP's brother feels entitled to the OP's money, putting them in an awkward family squabble.
