'I ran into him at his own retail job': Worker gets even with customer who works in retail, demands 'good service'

Retail work is one of the most demanding jobs in the customer service industry, and it doesn't take a genius to fathom why. Employees have to deal with daily Karens, a variety of other rude customers that don't quite fit the 'Karen category', lazy managers, and daft coworkers. OP was working a retail job in the paint department when a rude, condescending customer marched in, demanding a color match from a random home depot sign that was bolted into a metal counter. OP explained to the customer that his request wasn't possible, and the customer huffed and puffed a little before going on his way. Before the customer left, another employee overheard a conversation he was having over the phone, saying he was going to place a large order close to the store's closing time and fail to pick it up.

Luckily OP knew what was coming, so he didn't place the order; as promised, the customer never showed up. A few months later, OP walked into another retail store and was surprised to see that same customer wearing a retail uniform. He took the opportunity for payback and began ordering him around the store. Scroll down to read what happened next.

Karen was refused service, so she turned to HR… the tables quickly turned when she was banned from any and all petrol stations under the company's name.

'[Am I wrong] for telling my husband the nanny is in charge?': Husband objects to wife telling him to defer to the nanny's judgement for their children

It's understandable to be upset about being told how to take care of your own children, but if you're not spending the time with them to develop the best processes and are paying someone to do so—you'd better put your ego aside, let them do their job, and listen to them.

That's what this online community agreed on when the topic was shared on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. They decisively voted that this wife was not in the wrong for telling her work-focused husband to defer to the nanny's judgment when it came to getting the kids to bed. He wasn't stocked about the suggestion, saying that the nanny was "just an employee." She's a little more than that when she's acting as a replacement parent for your children.

'The mom went off on me': Parents change baby's diaper at their seats on the plane, passenger asks them to stop, flight crew intervenes

There are a few grey areas when it comes to appropriate behavior on a flight, but this is way too far. This couple was sitting near the bathrooms, where it was confirmed that there was a changing table. Instead, however, they decided it was totally acceptable to change their baby's stink diaper right there at the seats in a row they were sharing with a total stranger.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and you can just imagine how the ruthless judges of the AITA community responded to this one. The Redditor even let it slide during the first diaper change, but by the time the second one came around, that was the last straw. After the Mom threw a fit, the flight attendant got involved and naturally sided with OP. It even escalated to the point that the pilot had to make an announcement.

If you're -once again- willing to sacrifice your career for a few extra moments of sleep, you might have a permanent case of the Mondays.

'I put his on vacation hold': Neighborhood trash battle results in unexpected vacation

Dealing with trashy neighbors is never fun, and dealing with your trashy neighbors' trash is even less so.
