How are we supposed to work in our PJs with this Karen manager eyeballing us the whole time?
Every company is, and rightfully should be, afraid of the alliance of software publishers, otherwise known as the 'BSA'. Their job is to properly enforce licensing, and they do so with pure vigor. This boss did not take a fed-up 'employee' into account when he refused to pay him his wages. The employee in question ran a small IT consulting company of his own and was convinced into doing a job for a software company his friend worked for. This is where the 'boss' came into play. OP did the work, but the boss flat out refused to pay him, saying, 'Sue me'.
So OP did. But it was a long, tiring process and ended up costing a lot more than he had anticipated. At first, he let it go, but eventually, he learned that his friend had quit, and also hadn't received money that was rightfully his. So OP took action… and that action involved talking to the BSA, as he was aware that they would be interested in this particular company.
It led, quite literally, to the company's demise. The huge settlement ruined the company, and the owner had to shut down the firm. The moral of the story: Don't mess with people's paychecks.
For more stories like this, here is an executive that refused to own up to the fact she hit another employee's car… but got in the end, what she deserved.
It's a wild world out there… and when you open the magical wardrobe of online dating, there's no telling what might spill forth. Sure, you're probably going to encounter some mischievous fauns—who have more experience sending unsolicited photos of their anatomical features than participating in actual conversation. You'll probably also run into that ice queen who cares for naught but how she's perceived on social media—but is seeking a partner to finance her photo-centric misadventures. You might even encounter an actual lion—whose alarming ability to engage in alluring conversation is nothing but a facade designed to mask its ego-fueled lust for human flesh.
I'm running out of suitable Chronicles of Narnia references here, and it's admittedly been a very long time since I opened one of those books, so somebody—please… help me out here.
Regardless, the point still stands: When you open the box of dating chocolates, there's no telling what you'll get. (The references are all over the place—just roll with it.) Keep reading for this week's selection of "Top Tinder Moments."

A long-time housekeeper was used to putting up with her harsh boss, until her boss decided to entirely ignore her wedding day.
As a housekeeper for 8 years, this OP was quite experienced putting up with Karens of all kinds. She dealt with Karen clients, as well as her boss, who could be "super rude and snotty." Despite this, the OP didn't mind her boss much of the time – she was just doing what she needed to do to get by. The entire time, she was watching a revolving door of employees, but she thought she would be okay. She'd already told her boss about her upcoming wedding, and her boss seemed to support the OP needing time off.
The OP found out the unfortunate truth about her boss during the run-up to her wedding, when things really hit the fan. Scroll through this satisfying petty revenge tale. Then, check out this story of a mom who sided with her daughter in law over her son — and then gave her son a piece of her mind, right in front of all his friends.
There are certainly "do's" and "don'ts" when it comes to meeting your significant other's parents for the first time! When it comes to what not to do, there's of course bringing up any contentious subject matter, there's using any bad language, and then there's violating the dress code. Now, should there have been communication on the girlfriend's part in this specific instance (i.e. if this is a guy who often wears Iron Maiden T-Shirts, should she have specified what to wear?) The answer to that question is a resounding yes. However, at the end of the day, this guy is an adult and clearly has terrible judgment. When it comes to impressing your potential future in-laws, it's always better to err on the side of caution and dress more formally than you need to. Better to be overdressed than underdressed!

These brave souls told us all about their cringiest teen phases, from bleaching the tips of their hair to unironically rocking fedoras.
Going through phases in life is only natural. After all, as you grow from a child to a teen to an adult, you need to learn about who you are and who you want to be. There's a lot of trial and error as you make new friends or enter new classes. Suddenly, something you loved last week is now unbearably cringe. That's the gift of hindsight!
Looking back on their youth, these folks shared the funny and sweet phases they went through. Most are based around fashion trends of the time, like shopping at the 'edgy' stores in the mall, or rocking fedoras or fingerless gloves. But other people expounded upon their interesting personality changes through the years, and those are some wild tales.
Next up, this person really wanted to hide her three dogs from her HOA, but it seems like a nosy neighbor might rat them out…
There are ways to inspire people, but this is not it! After realizing that none of his coworkers received a raise in years (in one case, over six years!), this employee found himself on a company-wide call in which his VP decided to make the kind of rousing speech that should boost morale.
Well, if that was the goal, it would be an understatement to say it was less than successful. The VP decided to demand that all employees should be prepared to work way more than 40 hours a week. Clearly, any current cultural conversations of work-life balance were not on this dude's mind. And if they were, he decided to go in the exact opposite direction. Not the wisest choice in this day and age, and yet, that's what he went with.
Keep scrolling below to see what the employee did next. For more stories like this, here's one about an entitled Karen and a parking space.
Revelations tend to happen most often in the shower, although it's not quite clear why. Perhaps because it's that time of day that you can just chill, so your thoughts begin to settle into a nice, neat pile, making space for new ones. Allegedly, one good idea that was conceived by the famous Isaac Newton apparently occurred to him while he was chilling under an apple tree. He's that dude that came up with the law of universal gravitation, but evidently, an apple had to plop onto his head (ouch) for that to happen.
In case you missed it, we're talking about shower thoughts here. When you're standing under the trickling stream of water, your thoughts wander through the different (weird) valleys in the atoms of your brain, coming to some strangely accurate conclusions. Perhaps you're a Wim Hof fan and you've been attempting to distract yourself as you sit miserably in the freezing cold water, OR you're normal, having a normal shower. Either way, showers are blessed with a certain… magic that allows you to capture those thoughts and figure out you're secretly a genius.

Lots of high-end cars in the world are stunningly souped-up… anyway, here are 25+ vehicles that are the exact opposite of that.
People take such pride in their cars. After all, lots of us spend hours every week driving to work, stores, friends' houses, and more. Since it's such a source of pride, folks will spend thousands to make their rides as cool as possible. But clearly, as these people below can attest to, it doesn't always go quite right.
Check out these bizarre cars. Then, this woman stared daggers at her birthday guests, making them feel uncomfortable, because she never actually wanted a house party in the first place.
It's about time we give you a freshly updated ranking of the top 5 Karens this week. As we know, Karens are widespread these days and the more we share the stories of how regular folks were able to deal with them, the more prepared we all will be when we come across Karens in our own lives. Here at FAIL Blog, it's the least we can do.

This woman's been living with her mother for her whole life, yet her mom still managed to get under her skin with this birthday party.
U/LowHold1634 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole about an incident between her and her mother. The issue is that while living with her mother, she feel indebted to her, and goes along with her mother's "incredibly controlling" plans. It came to a head on the OP's birthday, when the OP planned a party with friends. She requested that her mom not invite guests over to the house, however, and her mom just ignored her.
The OP then proceeded to take her anger out on her guests and her mom, and one can only imagine the kind of awkwardness that must have resulted. The OP describes glaring daggers at her guests… why would she think that was okay to do to her guests?

There's nothing more cringey than that sinking feeling in your gut when you hear restaurant waitstaff emerging from the kitchen with a sparkling dessert in hand and a birthday song on their lips. For some, even when it's not even their birthday, this public hooplah sends them into a fight-or-flight response. As a server, singing for your guests is either going to make or break the job. For notorious extroverts (and unnaturally confident folks who are working on an amateur singing career), entertaining the customer is the best part of the job. For regular people and MOST servers, this is their biggest nightmare.
One woman named Katelyn, a waitress at an upscale Italian restaurant, recently almost lost her job because she refused to sing happy birthday (as a solo performer, by the way) in front of a restaurant full of people. Her managers approached their "request" for her to sing in a demeaning way and it was more of an order than it was an option. Yikes. Katelyn had feeble attempts to avoid singing to strangely eager customers by simply wishing them happy days and good celebrations, which is a much classier approach to a birthday celebration.
Finally, after several successful weeks of avoiding public humiliation, a table asked if she could sing the birthday song in Italian instead. Katelyn did not speak Italian, so she declined. Once management found out, they t old her to Google the lyrics in a foreign language and simply memorize it in 2 minutes before singing to their table for dessert.
As if singing in your own native language was embarrassing enough, Katelyn pushed through and did her performance, only to have the Karen complain to management that she wasn't singing loudly or robustly enough. As if the shame wasn't enough, her boss sent a text the next morning saying how disappointed he was with her.
When someone is caught in a lie, it's always surprising to see how far they will take it. You might expect the liar to give it up, admit defeat, and admit to their deceit, but liars have been lying for so long that they don't know how to turn it off and will continue building up the fabrication even after their lie has been substantially disproven.
Reddit user u/Top-Studio8028 posted this thread to Reddit's r/entitledparents, sharing a story that he and his brother experienced after their family moved into their new home in a new development. After a stranger parked in the driveway of their home, they bizarrely claimed that they were the owner of the home in an attempt to keep their car parked there for a local event.

Sometimes, giving someone a taste of their own medicine is the only way to deliver your message. In this instance, we're dealing with a restless job applicant who is clearly at his wit's end. After applying to countless positions and coming across red flag after red flag during the interview process, he decided to flip the script, so to speak, by drafting a mass email used to reject these subpar offers.
Now, is this enjoyable from an objective perspective? Yes. However, as some folks in the comments have pointed out, it's not exactly the wisest decision. I mean, it's certainly not the most professional choice either. But for those of us who have no stake whatsoever in this guy's job application process, it's an enjoyable treat, and here's hoping that one of these recruiters actually responds to this email. Keep scrolling below for the full email draft and comments. For more stories like this, here's one about some gardening revenge!
There's nothing like an all-out brawl with a Karen at the movie theater to make the moviegoing experience all the more memorable. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/NoStateGreenery, who shared an anecdote about an upper-class Karen, her balding boyfriend, and an impulsive choice to dump a water bottle on them to defend his mother.
The Redditor's mother was trying to avoid the large crowd exiting the theater at the end of the film because she has a bad knee. When she came across Karen and her beau, they wouldn't let her pass because they wanted to watch the credits. They harassed the original poster's mom to the point that she was crying, and that's when her son stepped in to defend her. Did he have to dump the contents of his water bottle on them? No. Is it a satisfying reading experience to hear about that choice and the subsequent fight that followed? Yes! Yes! A thousand times, Yes!

We're all pretending to be someone we're not. Whether it's putting on our "business persona" during office hours to conform to corporate life or trying to fit in with a new friend group—we all do some level of managing how we want to be perceived by others.
Catfishes take this to another level, building an entirely new identity online to experience the thrill of being someone they're not or escape from their own reality—sometimes getting so deeply lost in it that there's no turning back. Usually, a catfish's intentions aren't nefarious (at least initially), but sometimes the catfish creates the persona from the get-go with the scam in mind.
In this story of petty revenge, shared to Reddit's classic subreddit community of the same name, Redditor u/dickwithshortlegs97 shared their story of how he intervened to save his brother from a catfish who was blackmailing his brother will illicit photos he had sent them.
Have you heard about the aspiring chef who made cheese out a mint milkshake? This ambitious cheese maker presumably bought a green St. Patty's day shake and committed to the entire cheese making process. Would you try it, though? Perhaps the cheese would pair well with the toast that was actually a kitchen sponge. For those with a refined palette, we recommend the nightmare fuel of the "bologna cake," topped with mayo and mustard. There are all kinds of concoctions and meals gone wrong, and luckily for us, their creators decided to share their fails with the internet.
Check out this wild array of food fails. Then, these actors and movie crew members spilled what it's actually like behind the scenes of a movie that everyone already knows isn't going to be very good.
It is surprisingly unsurprising that water parks attract the Karens of this world. Here is a tale of generational Karens, in which an entitled teenager taunted a lifeguard after numerous warnings. Matters were, of course, made worse when the teenager's grandmother got involved, proving just where this young girl inherited this unacceptable behavior.
The grandmother threw a tantrum of her own that you'll just have to read to believe. Thankfully, the lifeguard's superior sided with him rather than with Karen and Karen-in-the-making. At the end of the day, the two were actually kicked out of the whole park. It's continually shocking that Karens believe they can exhibit this behavior to employees, but even more shocking that they think they can get away with actions that are not only verbal but physical too. What world are we living in these days?
For more stories like this, here's one about a Karen and Kevin at a local motel.
Are you already on your fifth cup of coffee and it's only 10am? After what always feels like a short weekend, that sweet bean juice is all that can boost your spirits. Although there are some days, despite coffee's best efforts, that you're still dragging. It's probably because your work is futile and even though they promised you a "fast paced environment", time comes to a standstill the moment you clock in. At least you know one thing is for certain, the coffee pot in the break room will be burning that weak cup of Joe all day, begging you to come snag another mug-full. Now go write some passive aggressive emails and send some memes to your work bestie!
If you have to claim that you are or aren't something, it's incredibly likely that you aren't or are that thing. It's like having that one friend who tells you that they hate drama, yet whenever drama happens, they're right there in the thick of it. So, when your boss tells you that they aren't demanding while they're in the middle of being demanding, it's likely their ego is just deflecting.
This discussion came to the forefront when an employee received a text from their boss asking them to come in to cover a shift for their coworker. When they responded that they could not come in because they were studying for an exam, the boss said they were "expected to be available for tonight's shift." Things escalated to the boss saying they were "disappointed," and the employee decided it was time to walk away from the job. We're starting to see so many posts like this it makes you wonder… just how prevalent is this in shift work?
This post was posted to the r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor u/Hoodtho after the incident. They shared screenshots of the exchange between them and their boss titled "Happened on Tuesday but [middle finger emoji] this idiot." The thread has hit the top of the subreddit with 21k upvotes.

As someone offering your services to a customer, you give a price, and the customer tries to bargain said price… that's just how it goes. It's a frustrating, but necessary, part of the job. However, when a customer attempts bargaining AFTER you've completed the work… well, that's a whole different story. After settling on a price, you shouldn't have to deal with someone who refuses to pay that cost. That is what happened to a contractor who collected rubbish for a customer who decided after the fact that it was 'too expensive.'
After a few choice words, the contractor decided to drive off, upset that he had wasted half a day. He wasn't exactly drowning in money. As he was heading off, he was hit — with a brilliant idea. He made a quick u-turn and dumped all the rubbish right back onto the shocked customer's driveway (who, mind you, was freaking out by this time). Scroll down to see what happened next.
Moral of the story: don't mess with your contractor. For more stories like this, here is a woman who thought she could get away with not pitching in for her sick boss's gift, yet expected credit.
Expecting your workers to attend hour-long meetings on their day off without receiving any compensation, let alone acknowledgment, is effectively a theft of wages. So to turn around and accuse those same workers of theft for claiming that time is quite outrageous.
This guy managed to find a way to get paid during an unpaid lunch break. Here's what happened. His new manager, Dave, decided to step in and enforce a ridiculous new policy in which he assigned everyone lunch times. Unfortunately, the Redditor learned that their assigned time would be during their most productive time of day when they usually schedule meetings and calls.
So rather than reschedule all those meetings and calls, the employee decided to keep them because there's a policy in their contract that any work during an unpaid lunch break must be paid in overtime. After submitting a detailed report to Dave by the end of the week to ensure that they were compensated for that "extra" work, Dave realized just how nonsensical the lunch break policy really was. At the end of the day, Dave reversed the policy, much to literally no one's chagrin. Keep scrolling below for the full story!
Being an introvert is a constant negotiation between your desire for "me time" and literally everything else in the universe. That means your folks, friends, significant others, work colleagues, and all other responsibilities. Really all these things do at the end of the day is get in the way of you having your Me Time. Sure, if you want to be a responsible, well-adjusted adult, you have to find balance for all those things.
However, if you're like me and you have no interest in being a responsible, well-adjusted adult, all you really want to do is cancel any and all plans with any and all people. So, if this mentality resonated with you at all, keep scrolling below for this collection of memes and fails for introverts everywhere. If you are one of those so-called extroverts and you're curious how the other half lives, these certainly are for you as well. For more content like this, check out these disastrous dating fails!
You can learn a lot about someone just by watching the way they treat other people. On this r/askreddit thread, people shared that, along with other ways to determine if someone's trustworthy as you get to know them. The answers are interesting and eye opening — and you can tell some people only know their answers from personal experiences.
Some folks advised that you should keep an eye out for how people treat waiters or other service workers. If they're rude or dismissive towards them, that's a major sign that they don't treat people with basic respect. Another person suggested a very bright red flag, which is calling their exes or roommates crazy. If everyone around that person is "crazy," maybe the problem is actually them.

We all know that employers can be ruthless during the hiring process, but this hiring manager made it clear just how ruthless they can be. It goes without saying that insisting that the only candidates you interview are ones who are not currently employed full-time is a major red flag. First of all, it's quite clearly a tactic to exploit the desperation of unemployed candidates. Secondly, it's wildly limiting; don't you want candidates who are seeking you out as a potentially better place to work? I guess that doesn't really matter to hiring managers like these ones.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit, and the comments provide a glimpse into just how common this ridiculous hiring policy actually is. Imagine if this Redditor quit their job just so they could be considered for this one. In this economy? No way! Keep scrolling below for the best comments!

Farmers who have had barn cats all their lives say the cats are expert hunters and snakes don't stand a chance, but cat lovers say that it's irresponsible to let your pet feline near a venomous snake. (P.S. The cat in the video is perfectly fine.)
Did she handle this right or nah?
