Woman's Ex-Boyfriend Calls the Cops When He Moves Out, She Mocks Him With a Cop Photo Shoot


Nothing like a bottle of wine and two Party City cop costumes to get proper revenge on your ex.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/ExtensionPresent15, who was dating her high school sweetheart for 4 years and even chose to go to the same college as him per his request so they could be together (red flag). 

 

Eventually, he dumped her and slept on the couch for a week before moving out. On the day of his move, however, she was surprised to find two cop cars waiting outside the whole time…as if she was some kind of threat. She thinks maybe he was nervous her father was going to show up. Who knows? Point is, it was an act of hostility so what did she do to get back at him? 

 

Wine, Party City, and a social media photo shoot of her and her friend in cop costumes. Take notes, people. This is how you get back at someone while also just trying to make light of a messy situation.

20+ Memes of the Week for Work Wardens Who Roast Their Coworkers (March 22, 2023)


When in doubt, don't ask your Karen coworker, or so I've been told. In fact, stay as far away from her (or him, we don't discriminate against Karens around here) as you can. Sure, your team may be severely understaffed, but it's the rule of thumb, so no cheating. On top of the fact that you're overworked because of said lack of employees, you also aren't making close enough to what you should be making.

Why? Because companies are greedy, bosses don't like promoting good workers, and all in all, you don't even want to work because the atmosphere is so toxic. Plus, the customers suck. That is if you work in the service industry. And what am I here for, if not to complain? It is my right, my duty, and my responsibility as a meme angel. So without further ado, scroll down and check out the best coworker memes of the week.

'AITA for making an insurance claim': Internet torn over guy's decision to press charges against good samaritan who broke a window on his vehicle


Typically, if someone breaks something of yours, you might expect them to be responsible for replacing it. But what if that thing wasn't exactly new? What if it was already broken in another way already? Should the person have to replace it with a new version of the already broken thing?

That's the question that came to the forefront of discussion sparked by this thread that was shared on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. The posting Redditor, u/Admirable-Cabinet-52, shared their experience to the popular subreddit to see if they were in the wrong for making a good samaritan pay for a new canopy for his pickup after they accidentally broke the window on it trying to help him close it.

Is this guy in the wrong for charging the kid for "breaking" a part of his vehicle? Should the kid not have touched the car—and is he automatically in the wrong for that? Either way, probably a good lesson for this young lad to not touch other people's things under any circumstances; you don't know what kind of a-holes might be out there looking to profit off of your attempt at a good deed. It's this same kind of thing that caused a lot of places to put protections in place to protect first-aid givers against lawsuits resulting from administering CPR.

'AITA for being Karen-ish with retail workers?': Customer flips out on retail workers after they ignore him for a half hour


After being ignored for over a half hour while shopping, this dude had a complete meltdown! 

While sharing his story to r/AmItheA**hole, this dude made sure to preface his story. He wrote that he's been around service workers his whole life, and worked service industry roles before, so he apparently knows what it's like to be in that line of work. However, he clearly forgot that when he went to a store and got ignored. 

The first red flag is that the OP thought he'd get great service inside a dead mall. He and his wife waited around in a  store without seeing a single employee. When they finally found a cashier, they said they'd send an employee over to help them find what they needed. But after another 25 minutes, there were still no employees around to help the OP and his wife.

'You disrespected me by consuming my almond milk': Woman gets on a plane and leaves boyfriend because of milk, leaves dramatic letter


Every so often on the Internet, you come across a crazy story and scroll through the comments, realizing that no one is acknowledging the behavior of the storyteller. That seems to be the case with this story, which was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit. 

 

Here's the deal. We are sympathetic to the fact that the Redditor is lactose intolerant and has to buy different kinds of groceries, separate from her partner. We are also sympathetic to the fact that her partner has been repeatedly disrespecting her by eating these special products that she purchases for health reasons. For me, it was the letter she added in her edit that felt like a red flag. For starters, it was highly dramatic and clearly made it seem like this couple has serious communication issues on both sides. Our take on the whole milk debacle? It's quite possible that everyone sucks here.

 

For more stories like this, here's one about two entitled aunt Karens.

'She demanded my manager fire me on the spot' : Entitled customer Karen has meltdown and calls corporate following barista's savage confession


Karens enjoy being given attention (albeit negative), and unfortunately, it tends to come at other people's expense. Especially those who work in customer service, AKA baristas, servers, retail workers, etc. This Karen picked the wrong day to mess with this barista, as it was the employee's last day. Karen had a constant rude, demeaning attitude, making employees and customers hate her alike. So it couldn't have been that much of a surprise that this employee snapped. But of course, we're talking about a Karen here, and anyone who doesn't worship the ground she stomps on is an immediate enemy in need of quick, skillful termination.

Karen barked at the barista, fed up with the fact that it was 'loud' in the coffee shop, and the barista had had enough. She herself replied with a taunt, admitting that she had ignored every request Karen had ever made to 'remake' her drink. This amounted to about a year. The aftermath of this brave confession was a total meltdown on Karen's part, as she totally lost it. Common Karen phrases such as, 'Get me your manager!', 'Fire her!', and 'I'm calling corporate!' were used. Much to Karen's dismay, nobody really cared all that much, because it was this employee's last day. Scroll down for the full, hilarious story.

‘I couldn't believe she got away with it’ : Unhinged Karen calls police in attempt to avoid paying for services, places false accusations on employee and gets away with it


There are people that are willing to go to great lengths in order to avoid paying, such as this Karen, who took advantage of an employee at a nail salon. He was just doing his job when she made an executive decision to make his life unnecessarily harder. She ignored his instructions and purposefully kept moving her hand out of the UV/LED light, so her fingernails wouldn't dry. He gently put her hand back in a couple of times, as it is his job to do so, and she lost it.

She called the cops, because, well, she is, as the title suggests, a little unhinged. When they arrived, she claimed he 'forced her hand into the light' and announced her desire to press charges. To say she got carried away a little would be putting it lightly. The police questioned the people in the shop, and the result of this whole mess was… nothing. That's the problem. She stirred up trouble and didn't pay for the service the salon provided. Plus she didn't get into any trouble for making up lies and wasting police time, either.

u/davidpham268 was furious and took to Reddit to complain. Commenters chimed in that it was his duty to press charges on her for not paying the bill. For more stories like this, here is a man who took malicious compliance to a whole other level when he 'hired' a goat for yardwork after his HOA forbade him from hiring an actual company.

Trucking Company Takes Clients Own Advice and Fires Them After Calling Their Bluff


"Why don't you just fire us then." is an empty threat that you should never make, somewhere along the lines of "If you don't do this I quit" or "Why don't you just leave if you don't like it." When one makes such threats they're saying it thinking they're in a position of power. 

It's a power move and manipulation tactic to force a subordinate (or someone you otherwise have power over) into reluctantly accepting whatever terms you are proposing. By giving them an "out", the person in power is psychologically manipulating them into resigning and becoming complicit with the power-wielders wishes. 

So, when this trucking company had it suggested to them, by the client themselves, that they should fire the client, it triggered a reflection that caused the trucking company to realize that they'd rather not service this client any longer. 

Keep reading to see screenshots of this story, as posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit this week by Reddit user u/Wildcatb. They've promised to post an update as things unfold, so we'll be keeping an eye out for it.

'LOL, He Blocked Me' : Top Dating App Flops of the Week (March 21, 2023)


There are periods of time when you frequent dating apps more than others, and during your short breaks, you kind of forget what it's like. Reopening Tinder is the catalyst for reinstalling all those memories. The surge is unreal… once the floodgates reopen, you breathe a sigh of distress, and the flashbacks begin. Blocked! Berated! Bot!

The list goes on. But in today's day and age, you don't have a choice. Your bravery has long since gone out the window, forcing you to hide behind a bright screen, swiping for connection. Heaven forbid you actually look someone in the face and tell them you like them. That would be the end of the world as you know it. And who wants the world to end?

As for me, I am currently erasing the app once again, as it has officially tired me out. Scroll down and you'll see why. For more fails, check out this absolute cringe-fest.

10+ Top Tinder Moments of the Week (March 21, 2023)


There doesn't seem to be a lot of consensus as to what love actually is… Is it a battlefield? A stranger? A losing game?.. That aside, is it really all you need? This general confusion and lack of consensus about love translate over into the world of dating—with no one really being able to agree on what they're after or what they even want. 

The problem is… if you don't know what you want, how in the heck can anyone possibly give you what you need? Thus, those looking for love often end up in a perpetual cycle of ghosting, disappointment, and crumbling relationships.

25+ Cake Fails That Ruined Graduations, Birthdays, and Weddings


Who knew that a cake really can make or break a party? Seeing the instructions you made for the order on the final product has got to be infuriating upon delivery. I guess you got exactly what you ordered, though. Then, of course, there's the lazy misspelling (i.e. "congrations" instead of "congratulations"). However, upon further reflection, one has to wonder why we don't just say "congrations" in life. I mean, it sounds better, it's easier to spell, and who has the energy for all those excess syllables anyway? Just a thought. Maybe this cake maker was actually onto something there. 

 

Despite all of these flawed baked goods, there is also the argument that if it tastes good, none of these mistakes should matter. At the end of the day, cake is not about the message. Cake is about the eating. So, in the spirit of Marie Antoinette, let us eat cake.

'Should I accept the job?': Job seeker uses ChatGPT to ace virtual job interview


The fear that ChatGPT, or some other AI, could replace your job in the near future is an absolutely real one—especially when your job mainly consists of writing short, accessible pieces that someone may or may not even read when they visit your webpage.

ChatGPT assures me, when I ask it, that there's no way that it could replace a human writer completely… but what if that's just what it wants me to think so that it can covertly plot to put me out of business? How are we even certain that ChatGPT hasn't written this post? My writing gig certainly wouldn't be the first job to be made obsolete by new technology.

Well, as frightening as the prospect is, there appear to be ways that these technologies can help us too. This Redditor, u/JoJolion_,  claims that they managed to ace a virtual interview by using the AI to answer the interviewer's questions. Is this real? Who can be sure? But it's an interesting prospect and a fun read.

'Check our hours on Google next time': Karen leaves 1-star review when she tries to order food after close, gets roasted by owner's scathing response


There is no greater horror when working in service and retail than having a customer come bursting through the doors moments before closing—sometimes, as you're literally turning the key to lock them. Some people have no chill and not a lick of common sense; they really don't understand that these workers want nothing more than to go home the moment their shift is done—with every right to feel that way.

This post was shared to Reddit's r/quityourbulls**t community by Reddit user u/NarutoCell, who shared screenshots of a 1-star google review in a thread titled "left [one-star] review on super bowl Sunday."

The review in the screenshot appears to have been written by a very salty Karen, who was displeased by the staff's apparent lack of interest in serving them. They then go on to explain that they've never actually tried the food there, detailing another time that they had arrived two minutes before close and had been refused service. 

The owner responded in a scathing message, citing their surveillance footage and claiming that the Karen had not, in fact, come two minutes before close but had arrived a full eight minutes after close when the team was desperately trying to clean up to make it home in time for the Super Bowl.

‘I cut her power’: College student gets fiery revenge on roommate by cutting the cord to her lamp, gets roasted in the comments


Some forms of petty revenge are so savage that even the Internet will call you out on it. In this instance, we have a college student whose roommate clearly is difficult. She stays up all night writing her novel ($20 says it's terrible) while insisting that she keeps a large lamp on the whole time and placing it on our protagonist's side of the room. That situation is notably unbearable. 

 

However, what the student decided to do next was way worse. When her roommate was out, she cut the cord at the bottom of the lamp just enough so that it would stop working before hiding it back under the base of the lamp. After a few days, the roommate conceded that the lamp was broken and allowed the student to put it in the closet. What the roommate failed to realize is that not only was the student responsible for breaking the lamp, but also she was actively endangering their dorm as cutting the cord has potentially made it practically on the verge of burning down.

'I don't tolerate liars': Local Karen and Kevin denied a room at hotel, front desk worker stands ground


There are some people you just don't want to mess with, and front desk workers at hotels are definitely among those people. Making enemies with them can only speak trouble, considering they could make your stay literally terrible. However, in this case, this shady Karen and Kevin won't even have a bad stay… because they won't be having a stay at all. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk subreddit by u/crabdancer64, who explained that given some bad previous experiences, the hotel in which they work no longer rents to locals in the area. As the Redditor says themselves, it's not their decision, and it's not their policy. So when the original poster caught this local Karen and Kevin in a lie and could tell they were trying to circumnavigate this strict rule, the Redditor stood their ground despite their, shall we say, aggressive personalities.

Millennials Want to be Abducted by the 'Gameboy Mom' in Nostalgic '90s Police Video Warning Kids of Stranger Danger


Remember those caution videos our parents and teachers would make us watch telling us not to help a stranger look for their lost dog? They were classic warning videos, usually hosted by a man in uniform, warning kids of "stranger danger." Did the '90s generation come up with that term, "stranger danger??" It feels like it wasn't a thing until the '70s went by with the most serial k¡llers and the '80s with it's drvg epidemic and the '90s finally came and parents finally had and told us things like, "I don't care if it's an old lady who has fallen on the ground and can't get up, you do not talk to them." Well, one of these classic stranger danger videos from the '90s has resurfaced on Instagram and this time it features a woman with a Gameboy asking if you will come to her car with her to help her change the batteries so you guys can play video games on it together. The video tells you to stay away from this suspicious woman, but people on the Internet have a different opinion

Employee Says He's Available Every Day Except Sunday, Gets Fired After Only 6 Days on the Job


Here is yet another story where boundary setting led to wrongful termination!

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/noahgrice, who explained how after less than one week on the job at a grocery store chain, he was fired simply because he mentioned to his manager that he was available every day of the week except for Sundays.

 

Considering that they never mentioned the importance of Sunday availability during the hiring process, this is 100% the fault of the horrible bosses of the world. No matter what it is you do, workers are entitled to say when they're not available without needing to explain anything further or risk penalties as a result of setting boundaries. 

 

You'd think at this point we wouldn't need to say this in 2022, yet here we are. Until the people who are foolishly clinging to exploitative work environments retire and accept that this is not the way we should be doing things anymore, we have to keep calling these people out.

 

We've seen plenty of stories involving horrible bosses and wretched management, like this one where an office supply store employee got revenge on her evil manager.

'I was totally bewildered, she actually expected an inheritance' : Entitled employee costs boss $5,000 in losses, gets fired, still expects ‘inheritance’ after his passing, wife takes petty revenge


When you think of the words 'inheritance' and 'employee', you don't normally find a relation. That's because bosses usually don't leave their workers any inheritance, which… makes sense, right? Not to this employee, it didn't. She had worked for her former boss (who was a remodeler) for many years, and let's just say she wasn't exactly a 'model' employee. She would borrow tools, returning them only after long periods of time, completely broken. She was eventually caught stealing from one of her boss's clients, so he fired her.

Fast forward a bit, and he became ill. After his passing, this employee approached his wife and told her that she expected an 'inheritance'. To say his wife was shocked would be an understatement. But instead of turning her down, she decided to enact a plot for petty revenge. This employee was less than happy with the results of this plot.

Update! 'AITA for taking my niece to court over a coat?': Teen destroys $20k coat and brags about her prank online


This is going to be the most expensive mistake this teen ever made after her aunt considers suing her! 

On a throwaway account, this woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with an important question regarding a family matter. As the OP writes, she married into a wealthy family who shower her with expensive presents. One of those happens to be a coat worth over $20,000! The OP writes that originally, she was hesitant to wear it after finding out how pricey the garment was. Apparently she had a premonition about what was going to happen. 

This woman's niece sounds not just like a dumb teen, but a malicious and dumb teen. She managed to destroy her aunt's expensive coat, and not only that, but she bragged about her deeds online. Her clout seeking is clearly going to cost her, though, as the OP shared in an update to the story. 

 After that, this traveller was psyched to get off an airplane first, but they didn't count on the other passengers getting seriously annoyed about it. 

'Some idiot put this cake's writing in cursive!': Upset parent roasted by employee over dumb birthday cake dispute


A bakery employee shared this tale of a cake mixup that must have been the most embarrassing day this customer ever had. At least this worker never let it leave their memory — it's just too funny!

Birthday parties are definitely one of the most fun parts of childhood, whether you were blowing out your own candles, or visiting someone else's house to give them gifts. But in all the commotion of parties, do kids really care about or notice their birthday cake? I don't think so, but this one woman was really convinced that her toddler was going to absolutely hate his birthday cake

As the OP shared to r/Talesfromretail, they encountered this woman who began complaining about the bakery. She was incensed about this cake; it seems like she was really winding up to a full-scale Karen meltdown. However, the OP managed to stop this perturbed parent in her tracks by shouting commonsense questions at her. She'll never live it down!

'You didn't do anything about it?': Manager underestimates busboy and tries to scapegoat him, other workers quit


It's always best to take advice from and listen to the person who knows best… and just because you're in charge doesn't automatically mean that that's you. Even the most base level of worker will know more than you about niche details and processes regarding their role. That's the reason why, when entering a new leadership position, it's always best to observe and learn before acting and making changes. There will reach a point where you need to step in and make some changes, some of which may not be popular; Still, you'd do well to listen to the feedback you receive from these workers. And when things don't go according to plan, you'd better own your own mistakes.

This worker shared a story from their younger days working as a busboy, in which they were faced with a manager who refused to heed their warnings or take their advice. And when things went wrong, they tried to cover their own ass by scapegoating the busboy.

Mom Installs GPS Tracker in Unlicensed Teen's Car & It backfires!


This Mom thought outlining the tires with chalk and installing a GPS tracker would stop her unlicensed teenage daughter from taking out her car when her parents weren't home. Rookie mistake.

 

This thread, which was posted on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Dry_Tumbleweed_862, basically shows how this mother has no idea how to discipline her daughter at this point. First, they should never have bought her a car before the daughter officially got her license (what rich nonsense is that?). 

 

We understand that the intent was to make her feel comfortable in a vehicle before taking the driving test, but just make her comfortable in your car then. Buying a 15-year-old something and then subsequently restricting its use is way more complicated than just waiting till after the kid has earned her own car. 

 

And while we're on this subject, why restrict its use but not take the keys from her? You might as well give her a bottle of Vodka and say "but don't drink it." She's a teenager. She's going to drink it, Mom.

 

The moral of the story here is that coming up with elaborate ways to "track" your daughter's inability to follow the rules is more challenging than just doing a better job of establishing ground rules and making them feel as high stakes as they are. 

 

We've seen plenty of rebellious teenagers acting out recently. For more, check out this story where a stepdaughter lashed out and threw her phone out the window. Keep scrolling below for the original post and for the best comments!

'Would you save your sick cat or your homeless sister?': Malicious Redditor pays for life-saving surgery for her senior cat instead of bailing her estranged sister out of failed investments


For siblings that become the forgotten member of the family, it's tough to watch the golden child slide through life without worries or cares. Obviously, family drama is pretty inescapable, and can be taxing both emotionally and financially. One Redditor, u/TWoldCat, was the outcast of the family and was alienated from her family since a young age by her toxic mother and golden girl sister. However, after she had started a new life without them, she was dragged back into the drama. 

TWold was forced to make an impossible choice when it came to her dysfunctional family. She could either save her ailing 21-year-old cat, who had been her closest companion growing up, OR she could help bail out her financially irresponsible sister, who she had been estranged from for years.

For context, the cat needed dental surgery but was otherwise in excellent health. Twold's vet assured her that he had several happy years left in the tank if they were able to provide dental surgery for a bad tooth. Also, the sister had blown her off for years and they essentially never spoke until the charging into Twold's home two weeks ago, begging for money to cover her late mortgage payments due to her husband's poor financial investments in NFT's. Because they were behind a few months on payments, the sister was about to be kicked out of her home with nowhere else to go.

To be fair, according to Reddit, Lucy made the right call by ousting her sister, saving her cat, and blocking her angry family members online after they bashed TWold's final call. Frankly, it seems clear that TWold's cat was more familial to her than anyone else was, proving that blood is not thicker than furballs.

20+ Coworker Memes of the Week for Understaffed Teams of Employees (March 16, 2023)


Management doesn't necessarily provide the requisite means for employees to feel excited about work, AKA a non-toxic environment, and a good salary. In fact, the cost of living is making more and more people want to stay plonked down on their couches, and collect unemployment. Can we blame 'em? I mean, partially, I guess. But I understand the unappreciated broke feeling that is running rampant nowadays.

Is it fixable? Well… another good question without a black-and-white answer. Instead of focusing on all that, I'd rather focus on memes. First of all, it's a great way to procrastinate, and second of all, it is a proven method to distribute much-needed serotonin. We can focus on all the bad Karen coworker energy wafting around another time.

This week, I've compiled the best of the best when it comes to coworker memes. To check out last week's memes batch, all you gotta do is click here.

'Go back... and wait like everyone else': Traveller sparks airplane etiquette debate after they cut off passengers in front of them


The internet is debating the unspoken rules of boarding and exiting airplanes after this guy's 'AITA' question. 

Lots of people enjoy flying, but many more people probably would say they actually hate being on airplanes. After getting through hours of security at the airport, you have to rush to your gate and then board in order. Then, you fly in a cramped cabin for hours, stuffed in like sardines with other random people. This traveller has a question about what happens once the airplane touches down again at its destination. As they write, they were sitting at the rear of the aircraft when it landed, and since they only had a backpack, the OP quickly got up and rushed to the front of the plane

This traveller probably thought that was a brilliant idea. What they didn't count on, though, was the reactions of the other passengers around them, who were completely ticked off that this person cut the line. 

After that, scroll through these hilarious and scandalous confessions that are so dramatic they can only be told anonymously. 

'2050 is closer than 1990': Nostalgic memes and fails for aging millennials


For those of us foolishly clinging to the past, we've got you covered. We may live in a world these days where the culture of the present does not match that of our youth, and that feeling can be, well, let's face it, infuriating. But rather than accept a world in which my interests and hobbies are no longer in the zeitgeist, I prefer putting on my rose-colored glasses and pretending I'm still just as relevant to the marketing industry as I once was.

'She has threatened to call corporate': Entitled customer keeps barging into thrift store's backroom as employee tries to stop her


Customers can feel entitled to just about anything, as this sneaky woman proved to a thrift shop employee

The employee wrote that as a 4 year veteran of the thrift shop she works at, she has lots of regulars, including some that have no boundaries whatsoever. "V," as the OP has nicknamed her, is super pushy and feels that she runs the place. She seems to haggle with the employees to get prices lowered (at a thrift shop for goodness sake). But that's not even the worst of her problems. She also cannot fathom why she can't go in the "Employees Only" section of the store. 

As the OP noted, there's lots of reasons you wouldn't want a random customer rooting around through the backroom. Merchandise isn't priced yet, and employees leave their belongings back there, no expecting it to be disturbed. V is way too entitled, and the OP would be totally in the right if she referred her to corporate. Let V banish herself from the store with her own words! 

Next up, this guy was shocked that his HOA wants him to get rid of his airplane — and it's not even parked at his house.

Girlfriend Won't Let Stay-at-Home Dad Work, so He Steals From Their Emergency Fund


What happens when you pair a working lady who financially abuses her partner with a stay-at-home dad who has a spending problem? 

 

The answer is that this relationship has more red flags than a Woody Allen movie. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Ameliaroselia, who shared her story of discovering that her boyfriend, the father of her kid, stole thousands of dollars from her emergency safe over the course of a year. 

 

Now before everyone goes on to blame him entirely for the situation at hand, there's some nuance here. The Redditor admits that her boyfriend had expressed a desire to work more, a desire that she rejected for selfish reasons (wanting to spend more family time together). He also had a history of spending money irresponsibly, but her way of handling that compulsion was to make him run even the smallest of purchases by her before buying anything. We are in no way excusing stealing from your partner; what this guy did was obviously extremely messed up. Still, the financial abuse here cannot be excused either. In short, as many of the comments on Reddit suggest, they both suck.
