'She straight up called a tow company to tow seven cars': Karen tries to tow other hotel guest's cars

What would you do to get your preferred parking space? Some might say that towing seven cars is a little extreme—whether or not those cars are technically supposed to be parked there. This is especially the case when you're just a guest staying at a hotel and in no way have a stake in said hotel.

This Karen took issue with the fact that there were a bunch of non-electric cars parked in the electric car parking spaces, but parking at the location was extremely limited, so it was essential that all spaces operated on a first-come-first-serve basis, with staff members taking up the electric car charging parks so that their cars could be easily moved.

Why not have the employees park elsewhere, you ask? Well, if you've ever worked somewhere where this has been required, you'd know that this can lead to employees (particularly those working closing, opening, or after hours shifts) into unsafe situations, having employees venture away from the premises to remote car parks places them and their vehicles at increased risk of crime. 

To say that Karen wasn't stoked about the parking situation is an understatement. She had an electric vehicle, and by golly, it was going to be charged that instant! Rather than listen to logical reasoning and allow the front desk clerk the time to get employees to move their cars, she set to sorting the situation herself.

'I really believe it made the movie better': Dude watches a film in a hilariously wrong way

It may be a happy accident that this person watched "Dungeons and Dragons" completely wrong. 

Movie lovers will adore this post of a person who watched a movie incorrectly and was completely enamored with it. When u/Rodlylane watched the flick, they had a tough time navigating the settings. They just wanted to watch with subtitles, but they got a little more than they bargained for. Nevertheless, this OP adored the movie, and began researching it after the credits rolled. That ended up being quite the surprise! So they shared the story to r/movies, where the tale received hundreds of comments from people who related to the OP's mistake. 

While reading the comments under the post, it became clear that lots of people have accidentally watched movies slightly incorrectly as well. Who among us hasn't accidentally watched the first few minutes of a film without noticing something was off? It happens — and the movies that the commenters noted included "A Quiet Place," which would actually make a lot of sense to watch sans audio. 

After that, check out some ultra cringy moments from the depths of Facebook and Twitter! 

'You're all going to wait for me': Karen holds up line at 5:30 in the morning, gets in customer's face, he wins out with free coffee

It must have taken a ton of willpower for this guy to maintain his composure. Not only was he stuck in a long line behind an unruly Karen at 5:30 in the morning before a long day at work, but also she fully got up in his face and yelled at him. There's a lot of things people usually aren't able to tolerate in the early hours of the day, and a Karen with that much audacity is certainly one of those things.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/MothWingAngel, who really deserves a medal for not sinking down to her level of rude behavior. This certainly qualifies as a "when they go low, we go high" situation, even if it's oh-so-tempting to get low too.

'She snip[ped] off all but a few leaves': Entitled neighbor harvests woman's entire herb garden after she welcomed them to use it

No good deed goes unpunished—as the Original Poster of this story has noted. At times it feels that any attempts to bring a little goodwill into the world will be taken advantage of. 

When this woman invited her neighbor to partake in the fruits of her herb garden, she wasn't expecting them to harvest the entire dang thing. The woman had been using this same arrangement with another neighbor with great success. The other neighbor frequently repaid her with "beautiful" roses from his own garden whenever he took more than he felt was fair. So, she was shocked when she saw that her herb garden had been raided, leaving "a few leaves" on her poor herbs.

Read on for her story below, which was originally shared on Reddit's rr/EntitledPeople sub. Next, check out this malicious compliance that cost their bad neighbors their fence and a big chunk of their yard.

'My paper isn't long enough? K': College student gets back at rude professor by writing extra long paper and getting it published

Sometimes, revenge can be a healthy motivator! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977, a college student who received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Now, typically, I would not spend a breath of energy defending someone who is mad about an A-; however, the fact that the professor had no better reason for the grade and simply wanted to be difficult just goes to show that this was not a fair situation in the slightest.

 

That's where the malicious compliance came into play. For OP's next paper, he made sure that it was almost double the length of the assigned page minimum and that it would be a burden for the professor to read and grade. On top of this, the student then submitted the essay to a university journal for publication and it was ultimately accepted. So at the end of the day, malicious compliance turned into a rewarding academic achievement.
