'Aunt shows up at my house with all her stuff': Karen drives across country, trespasses on nephew's property, nephew calls the cops

If you see a crazy Karen flailing about in the woods, definitely don't contact her nephew. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/entitledpeople subreddit by u/Outside_The_Walls, who shared a wild story with his aunt after she drove all the way from New Jersey to West Virginia and showed up completely unannounced.

 

There are numerous shocking reveals to this saga, but the one we're particularly obsessed with is that this woman randomly keeps bolt cutters in her car. We call that a trespassing queen! Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that if you think everyone in your family is crazy, you're probably the one that's insane. Unfortunately, crazy aunt Karen learned this the hard way.

‘Karen got decaf for six weeks’: Barista serves Karen customer decaf for six weeks after Karen messes with staff

Staff working in the service industry are often greeted by unruly Karen customers who march in like they own the place, demanding discounts and ordering them around. Often because of poor management, the staff are forced to deal with the impolite attitude quietly inside their heads, as opposed to talking back and standing up for themselves. In this case, OP was working as a barista at a coffee shop where they served such a Karen customer, who happened to be a regular. Karen was manageable up until a certain point when she unleashed all her inner emotional baggage onto a poor new employee who was simply doing their job.

The new employee in question had asked Karen for her ID, since the credit card said that on the back, in the signature panel. Karen reacted by flinging her credit card at the employee, which crossed more than a few boundaries. OP began a campaign that last six weeks, where Karen was continuously served decaf, as opposed to her regular coffee. The rest of the staff joined in, and soon enough, Karen was beginning to feel the effects, or rather the lack thereof, of the decaf coffee she was given.

This petty revenge didn't end there, though. Scroll down to read the full, detailed account of events. For more like this, here is an employee who flipped the script on a fellow coworker who had attempted to get them fired by filing a complaint with HR. The employee got promoted, and the coworker got, well… let's just say it wasn't pretty.

'He delivered': Dudes request ultra-spicy wings, chef gives them their wish

Taunting a chef to make your food as hot as humanly possible is always going to end the same way… and at the end of the day, you literally asked for it. Sure, you might have underestimated just how spicy it could be, but the limits of your imagination are not the chef's responsibility.

But that's part of the draw for people who desire diabolically hot dishes. Mopping your brow constantly with a napkin while trying to smother the flames bursting from inside your mouth is some people's idea of a good time—after all, at least it makes you feel something. Even better is that you get to re-experience the same anguish the following day when the spicy food revisits you.

'I never lived it down': 35 Weird and wild secret confessions

These folks have secrets — and you can only know them anonymously! 

Twitter's popular secret confession page, @fesshole, is a prime spot for your average person to confess their darkest secrets. Luckily for the rest of us, we get to take a peek into other people's lives and realize that everyone is hiding some things that we'll never know about otherwise. 

In this week's selection, one person confessed to being devastated to learn that a colleague was actually just a really polite robot, while another admitted the sneaky way they procured a pet kitten, despite their husband saying no to pets. From office hijinks to family drama, the latest batch of confessions are truly wild. I'm thinking about the person who admitted to messing with all of their office's chairs constantly… you really never know what people are up to.

'New manager, new rules': Boss enforces unnecessary dress code, employee wears same ugly shirt in defiance

It's time to discuss unnecessary dress codes in the workplace. Of course, we understand rules surrounding inappropriate attire, but other than that, can't we all admit at this point that wearing a button-down shirt and nice pants in 80-degree weather is not going to make you more competent at your job? It certainly is not going to make the quality of your work any better. However, there are some folks in the workplace who simply cannot fathom the idea that a person in a T-shirt can possibly be a professional.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Philosopher_1234, who explained that after working in community mental health for approximately five years, a new boss came in and changed several policies, including the dress code. Keep scrolling below to see how people reacted in the comments section. For more stories like this, check out this post about an employee who discovered a camera in the office. 

'My turn': Mom rearranges daughter's home, daughter repays the favor

The beauty about finally getting your own place is that you're a master of your own destiny, free to choose and do whatever you'd like… until your mother comes to visit. 

What is it with mothers rearranging their adult children's homes? It turns out (based on the sheer number of responses to this thread) this is a common occurrence. Many readers responded to the original story with stories of their own about their mothers doing the same (or similar) thing.

Maybe this shouldn't be too surprising—parents love telling you what you're doing wrong; after all, it was their job for most of your life, and sometimes they have trouble letting go. It's also easy for them to see all the ways you're living your life wrong and reflect on the fact that they might have made some mistakes in raising you. They're only human, so rather than reflect on that fact, they'll just rearrange the drawers in the kitchen of your new home instead—how dare you store your silverware in such a bizarrely illogical and inconvenient place.

'When I say I'm not available, I mean it': Employee berated by boss after last minute schedule outside his available hours

This manager has some audacity for placing blame on their employee! It should not be the employee's responsibility to ensure that their hours of availability are honored, especially when these were agreed-upon hours when the employee was first hired. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit by u/jeffyjeffs, who shared a text exchange with his manager after they left a rude voicemail asking why the employee didn't show up for work. 

 

It turns out there was a last-minute scheduling change that wasn't cleared with the employee. That would be problematic even if the change occurred during the employee's available hours. But this is even worse. The fact that his hours of availability weren't even considered at all when this change was made says everything about how much this manager values the employee's time.

'I was fired after this': Worker fired for missing work due to injury sustained from shoplifter

You might think that being injured while trying to defend your company's property would get you a warm thanks and a pat on the back, at the very least… and definitely not a swift kick out the door. But chasing down someone who has nothing to lose is dangerous and not a risk worth taking—and (hopefully) not a risk your employer wants to take liability for. For that reason, most businesses often have rules about not engaging with shoplifters, thieves, and other criminals—even for security guards, who often serve as little more than a deterrent. 

So, if you choose to intervene and get injured in the process, you may very well find yourself out of a job for breaking policy as the company seeks to distance itself from liability. 

Bizarrely enough, this worker reports that they were fired for being unable to perform their work duties due to the injury they sustained while intervening with a shoplifter—no mention of policy against intervention. This feels like it has to be a major misstep on the part of the district manager or GM, who was probably reactively trying to get rid of the person tied to multiple problems.

Read on for the exchange between the district manager and worker, followed by some context regarding the situation from the worker and readers' comments.

Next, check out this worker who found out they were getting fired when they were accidentally cc'd into an email requesting removal of their access.

'I just rage quit my waitressing job': Server finds out her boss was stealing her tips, quits on the spot and seeks legal action

Most people start a career as a waiter or waitress because of the money. It's no secret that servers make bank, but it's definitely not because of their minimum wage hourly rate, it's because the tipping culture in America says it's acceptable (if not encouraged) to tip 25%+ to the server on top of a restaurant receipt. So for servers who aren't making tips, why would you suffer the long hours, picky customers, and weekend enslavement? Exactly. You wouldn't. 

One woman just recently quit her job in a furious rage because of a debacle with her tips. Not only was she not earning tips (after being told they'd go straight to her paycheck), but her boss was straight up stealing her tips for themselves. She basically caught him with a hand in the tip jar! After that incident, the Internet is up in arms. Keep scrolling for the full first account of this tantalizing tale of thievery, managerial fall out, and just bad business.

'She might bring team morale down': Braggart employee denied job position after colleague opposes her nomination

A college student really didn't want to recommend her colleague for a job. As the co-lead of a software research lab, this college student enjoys her job, all except for one specific colleague. 

It's an unfortunate truth that you won't always get along with 100% of your colleagues, but just because you don't care for someone personally, doesn't mean they're not great at their work. However, the OP of this story, u/UsualAd1535, shared that her colleague constantly tries to one-up everyone around her. She's not content to let other people have a moment to shine. Instead, the OP shared examples of this woman bragging so much that it brought her classmates to tears. She writes that a classmate pitched a business idea, only for the colleague to immediately "overshadow his accomplishment" by bragging about her own personal start-up.

'I felt extremely embarrassed': Toddler cracks expensive artwork during open house, parents flee the scene

When something happens in a small town, everyone is going to hear about it. So when this couple chose to let their toddler roam unsupervised around an open house, they'd be crazy to think the whole town wouldn't know what happened by the next day. 

The OP, u/open852, wrote to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit with their rather intriguing etiquette question. In the post, they describe how they and their husband brought their 4 year old kid to an open house. While the parents were strolling the property, their kid got into some trouble. Instead of owning up to the mistake, the couple fled the scene! 

OP then chose to share the story to Reddit, where they got absolutely roasted by commenters calling them TA. Who knows, maybe they'll take the advice to heart and pay for what they owe!

'I just found out my coworker is my cousin': Employee uncovers family secret, debates whether or not she should tell the whole family

Talk about office drama! Not everyone necessarily admits it, but we all enjoy a little workplace gossip. This revelation, however, has got to be an all-timer. This Redditor discovered that her coworker Ruby, who thankfully is someone she actually likes, is her cousin. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit by u/Bannanna_La, who learned that her aunt had an affair when she was living in another state for work. That affair resulted in a child (Ruby). Ironically, OP later reveals in the comments section below that her uncle also had an affair, and the two ended up divorcing but to her knowledge, no one in the family knows about Ruby. Ruby is aware that her mother was married and, in fact, hadn't seen her since she was five years old. Now, OP is debating whether or not to spill the beans. 

 

Keep scrolling below to see what many folks in the comments suggested OP should do. For more stories like this, here is one about a welder who destroyed her fiancé's engagement ring.

'I was excited... to get some video game satisfaction': Fired employee gets back at money-grubbing CEO in the most epic gamer fashion

Even if you had the nicest boss in the world, getting laid-off is never easy. It doesn't matter how much you pour your heart into your work or how many hours you put in, money-grubbing CEOs will always choose profits over people. Welcome to capitalism, buddy. You and your boss could become the best of friends, get drinks after work, share a funny duet during karaoke, but when it comes to cutbacks, employees are always the first to suffer. What can you do? Nothing, usually. 

Unless you and your CEO are both gamers. Ooooh how sweet revenge can be when it can be conducted in a pretend scenario, like a video game. This OP on Reddit shared how he got back at being laid off and it was in the most epic gamer fashion. The company he worked for is unnamed, but the gist is that he was a very hardworking employee, but the investors wanted more money, so they laid-off hardworking people to give the greedy ones what they wanted. It was obvious the company chose profits over people. He was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. 

Until his now ex-CEO joined the team shooter game they were playing online. At first, he saw that his old CEO was on the other team, and he was excited to get out some frustrations by hunting him down in the game. However, his boss switched to his team all of a sudden. The old CEO tried to say hi and act like everything was ok, but he was too upset with him to let that slide. So instead, he worked friendly fire for the win. He ended the old CEO even though he was on his own team, and, honestly, it sounds like that made his point of loathing him forever even more clear. Read the entire gamer revenge story below! 

'You were rude to me': Karen gets unreasonably angry over a kid's meal

If you work in retail, customer service, or the service industry, sooner or later, you're going to run into a confoundingly indignant and angry individual who is going to ruin your day—leaving you thinking about this interaction for years to come. It's just a matter of sheer statistics; talk to enough people in a day, and sooner or later, at some point, you're going to have a grown adult having a full tantrum in the center of your store like it's some kind of performative art piece. 

This Karen took offense to the fact that her order wasn't explicitly as she had intended it to be but failed to see how her continued ineffective manner of communication (which caused the problem in the first place) was exacerbating the problem. But the customer is always right, so she became increasingly frustrated at her inability to manifest the meal of her dreams growing increasingly angry at the situation.

'I removed everything from my bag': Employee gets even with screening officer at company security checkpoint after being told twice to ‘empty’ his bag, rest of employees follow his lead

Oftentimes, in transportation facilities, there will be a legal requirement to go through a security checkpoint that inspects bags; employees will need to go through a metal detector. In order to do that, they will need to remove any electronics/wires from their bags. OP was a technician working for a company that required him to pass through such a checkpoint on a daily basis. He carried a laptop, hand tools, and network cables in his bag, and was told he could leave hand tools and such in his bag, but would need to remove the wires and electronics.

One day when going through his usual ritual, the employees working at the security checkpoint weren't paying attention when he was removing said items from his bag, leading to some confusion on their part. One employee, who we will call Karen, remembered she was actually on duty, and told OP that everything he had just put back in his bag had to come out again for inspection. He explained that he had already done what they'd asked of him, but Karen was adamant that he 'take everything out of the bag'.

OP told her that if she'd been paying attention, she'd know there was no need. Again, she demanded he empty the bag… so he did. Other employees in line saw what was happening and decided to follow suit. Soon enough, everyone was taking everything out of their bags, and Karen was bombarded with much more work than usual. Scroll down to read how the story played out.

Update: 'I'm not her butler, babysitter, or handyman. I'm her freaking brother': Family saga unravels on Reddit, brother stands strong on his position

Family trauma is a very real thing. You could have the most loving family in the world where you're all besties and STILL have family trauma. That's basically what the entire plot of Disney's Encanto is about. We all have our own inner demons and that just happen to surface around the people you feel most comfortable around—often times that is your family. However, it's 2023 and we are all open about working on our mental health and taking therapy seriously, but that also includes working on the mental health between you and your family—maybe even doing family therapy together. 

Recently, a family saga has been unraveling on Reddit. It started with this post of a brother asking if he was in the wrong for booking a separate room during the family vacation, because last time he was forced to be the babysitter for his older sister's triplets. Now, he may be the youngest sibling, but he is a grown adult man, so being forced to be his sister's butler for no pay is beyond insulting and hurtful. Plus, that is his vacation too and he'd like to actually do vacation stuff for it rather than be the family butler. 

The original post became a hit on Reddit and he was deemed "Not the A-Hole." In fact, many Redditors shine light on how awful his sister is treating him and how unsupportive his parents are. His family knows about his Reddit account and saw the post and the comments it gathered. Luckily, it made them see the light, for the most part. He followed up the post with another one saying his parents apologized, but his sister did not, "at least not at first." You can see that post here. "My sister dug her heels in, blamed me, and then doubled down on her belief my life should circle around hers," he writes. "I told her that was the most narcissistic and entitled thing she's ever said about me." Eventually, his brother-in-law aka his sister's husband, got involved and talked to her and found out that she was pocketing the babysitting money he was giving her to give to her brother. So then that became another drama bomb in the family saga. Eventually, his sister, BIL, and parents all sat down and showered him in apologies and promised to do better. 

Cue the most recent addition to the saga, his family is now begging him to take down the Reddit posts since they have all talked it through and the hurtful comments are really putting a dark shadow over the family. However, the OP has kept everything completely anonymous and feels he has the right to vent to strangers on the internet to get some unbiased opinions—plus, it's proven to have been a helpful key in solving this family drama and he wants to make sure they don't fall into being mistreated by his family ever again. See how it's lately been unfolding below!

'You got cute feet?': 20 worst things people have said on first dates

You would think people would be on their best behavior on a first date. Well, if that were the case, you would be thinking incorrectly. Based on these responses, which were compiled from this r/AskReddit thread, it seems that there are a growing number of instances in which people (let's be honest, it's often dudes… not always, but most of the time) cross several lines on their first dates.

 

These crossed boundaries include inquiring about salary, oversharing about your most recent ex, expressing outrageous future plans, etc. While it's important to give the other person a glimpse into who you are and what you want, there's definitely a point when the oversharing begins and people start unknowingly waving glaring red flags. Keep scrolling below for a closer look at the twenty or so worst things people have said on their first dates. For more compilations like this, here are some top petty revenge stories!

'My boss put candles in his dishwasher': 30+ Goofy bosses who make their workplace feel like 'The Office'

Having a funny boss is amazing, but having a wanna-be funny boss is much less ideal. 

You'll have many types of bosses throughout your life, and one specific type is the "Michael Scott" from The Office type of dude. This person is a manager who loves attention, thinks they're the ultimate people person, and most importantly, think they know everything about running their business. When u/Multicalibrador asked r/AskReddit, "What's the most Michael Scott-ish thing your boss ever did?" people had some excellent answers to the question. 

The bosses below do have their similarities to The Office main character, but some took things way too far. We're cringing hard at the boss who wanted to brag about bringing the largest amount of flowers to a funeral — what was he thinking with that weird brag? Someone also had a long list of hilarious things their boss got up to, such as doing pushups on the floor to impress potential new hires (presumably they never ever returned to that company!).

'The poor soul unwittingly brewed a cup of lava': Colleague triumphs over the office coffee thief, bamboozling him with a spicy elixir of brewed habanero, wasabi, and jalapeño

Pranks in the workplace are often frowned upon, but when it comes to petty revenge, perhaps there's an exception. We all loved the high school pranks where the seniors would streak, saran wrap the school staircases, or fill the entire art room with cups of jell-o, but when you're an adult, things start to get a little spicier in the prank department. One man, a coffee lover with with a caffeine addiction and a hard-pressed nerve for revenge, recalls the time that he got back at the office coffee thief in a very flavorful way. 

Using habanero peppers as a weapon, OP created the most dastardly brew to catch the thief red handed as they stole his favorite magic beans. Scroll for the full story on how this office prankster got even with the one coworker that was hijacking their morning fuel. After this, they'll be needing an extra disc of Tums in their back pocket to combat the hellish punishment of thievery.

'He didn't believe me': Older coworkers stunned to find out how much man is paying in rent, sparks vigorous discussion about housing

Things certainly aren't how they used to be… While that common cliché has been repeated for generations now, possibly since the beginning of human existence, when it comes to the housing market, it's pretty clear that things aren't how they used to be. Gone are the days when a young couple could afford a four-bedroom home on one income while starting a family—raising and somehow funding an entire brood of children. 

The thing is, your older family, friends, and coworkers might not even realize how precarious things have become; in fact, they probably wouldn't even be able to fathom it without actually living it. Even those who got into the market before the pandemic are in better shape than those who seek to follow in their footsteps. 

I've never been one to think much about this. Still, eventually, you reach an age where you're tired of forcibly pouring gasoline and striking a match on a sizable amount of your income every month and finally are approaching a position where you can do something about it. Who wouldn't rather be paying off something that they may one day wholly own? (After you're done paying double in interest to the bank.) But, it's an uphill battle; housing prices continue to increase while wages stagnate, meaning you haven't a hope in heck of getting that sweet four-bedroom home your older coworker—which has also tripled in capital value over the last 20 years.

This worker shared their experience of having this conversation with their older coworkers, who were completely out of touch with the reality that those looking to enter the market now face. Read on to see screenshots of the thread that emerged around this conversation below. What are your thoughts on this? Jump in and get engaged in the comments.

'I had to kick out my cousin during my ceremony for crying': Bride cuts off cousin after she causes wedding pandemonium

An entitled parent just cannot believe the world doesn't revolve around her and her kids. As u/FlounderEffective819 shared in a shocking story, she was excited for her wedding, but was insistent that the big day should be child free. All the OP wanted was a special moment with her husband as she walked down the aisle. That's a pretty normal thing to want at a wedding reception, but one of the OP's family members, who has three young children, didn't take the "no kids" rule very well. It seems like these two cousins just do not get along, judging by their screaming match over the kids' behavior. Everyone else in the OP's family took the news well, but not the cousin… her "revenge" was so over-the-top petty that some people in the comments told the OP to simply never speak to her ever again. 

After that, this person's landlord has a pretty push request — can the tenant babysit their kids, indefinitely? 

'Demanding rent in a fight made me the villain': Daughter cuts up credit card after mother continually reminds her of rent payments

A mom is sure she's teaching her daughter the right way to budget money, but her husband and daughter disagree. You have plenty of duties as a parent, and teaching your kids financial literacy is certainly really important to a parent of a young adult, like this OP, whose account has since been deleted. 

The mom who wrote in to r/AmItheA**hole says that her 24-year-old daughter now needs to pay rent after leaving college. Even though she's only been in a job for a few months, her mom is quite insistent that she needs to pay rent ASAP. The daughter hasn't even gotten paid yet, but that hasn't stopped mom from bugging her constantly about it, and even getting into an argument where the OP admitted to calling her daughter a bad person. Commenters roasted the OP pretty hard — regardless of the lesson she thought she was teaching her daughter about money, it backfired on her.

'She made $20,000 on her wedding': Vigilante bridesmaid exposes bride who used a fake cash bar to hoodwink their entire wedding into paying for their honeymoon

Weddings are expensive, so planning a nuptial on a budget can make a person lose sight of appropriate ethics when it comes to money matters. Although everyone wants to make their wedding the event of their dreams, sometimes we're just not rich enough for that. One woman, a 40 something who was finally ready to walk down the aisle, recently planned an enormous wedding on a skimpy budget; then, she did the unthinkable. After putting together a 200 person event that could only float because of the generosity of her family and friends, she turned on the people closest to her in the grizzliest way. 

Her DJ was paid for by a friend, the venue was gifted, catering was from a friend's restaurant, and they opted to have a cash bar. No shade on budgeting, but it was uncovered month's later that this bride was also gifted the booze that supplied the bar service, so where did all those $10 bill for well drinks and bottled beers go? 

Scroll to uncover the treacherous tale of wedding thievery of a bride who was determined to get her dream honeymoon at the expense of all of her closest friends and family.

'I told them to kick rocks': Couple leaves scathing one-star reviews after being charged extra $200 for breaking bogus 'occupancy' rules

Ah, the power of the one-star review! Normally on this site, we do not support any Karen-esque behavior in which customers write scathing reviews of local companies for enforcing their policies, but this story is an exception to that rule. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/RushxInfinite, who was staying at a cabin on vacation with his then girlfriend.

 

There was a long-standing rule that any additional occupants will result in a $200 extra charge. However, the Redditor and his girlfriend only had visitor hang out for a few hours rather than stay overnight. The rule clearly does not apply here based on, I don't know, the definition of occupancy. But the Karen working for the rental company enforced the extra charge anyway, so what did OP, his girlfriend, and their extended group of friends do? They all wrote one-star reviews that collectively brought the online rating for the local rental company significantly down. When they came back to OP to apologize, OP was able to get some nice extra perks.

'Two weeks worth of dirty kitty litter': Woman gets revenge by leaving bait package for a "porch pirate"

There's nothing more violating than having your things taken from your own home, even if it's just on your front doorstep. For this reason, "porch pirates" are derided and often the topic of fearful conversation in neighborhood chats—and for a good reason. Those that betray the functions of society that operate on goodwill do nothing but bring the entire system down, making it worse for everyone.

This homeowner had had enough of her local porch pirate and set out a bait box as a trap to make them think twice about stealing other people's packages. The package wasn't anything valuable. Rather, it was weeks worth of used kitty litter with a stench so diabolical it was sure to teach the pirate a lesson they wouldn't soon forget.

They shared their story on Reddit's r/pettyrevenge sub, earning varied reactions from commenters who mostly applauded the move.

'He quit immediately on the spot': Construction worker quits job after discovering hidden coins planted by coworker

Here's a cautionary tale for you: be careful how you quit your job. This guy surely regrets the way he bowed out of a construction job! 

The OP of this story, u/lrze403, shared the tale of what happened between them and their least-favorite coworker. The whole reason the OP and this coworker had bad blood is because the coworker couldn't keep his mouth closed. The OP had posted photos of them doing an unsavory activity, and the coworker showed the pics to the boss. OP probably shouldn't known better than to post the photos — after all, any coworker could have snitched. But even so, the OP decided to get back at this guy with a prank that the coworker took too far.

'I no longer work here, remember?': Employee's two-week notice rejected, asked to leave immediately but still help with transition, she claps back

Bad bosses can't have their cake and eat it too! This is a classic example of employers making someone's transition infinitely harder than it needed to be. This thread was posted to Reddit by u/AZNM1912, the father of a young employee who had prepared a letter of resignation for her boss with two weeks' notice. 

 

First, her boss rejected her notice and she was told to leave immediately. Then, they had the audacity to ask if she would still answer questions about her workload to help better facilitate her transition. Thankfully, the employee had the backbone to call them out on such a ridiculous request. We all know that employees giving their notice is quite frankly an act of generosity. They are in no way responsible or obligated to stay. Now, her bosses will have no one to properly train her eventual replacement.
