Most folks have had the unfortunate experience of waiting in line behind a Karen customer, but believe it or not, it could be worse. Just ask this dude, who ended up waiting in line behind three Karens.  This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/jarjarmullet, who silently watched as this trio of entitled older ladies kept giving modification upon modification to their order. This, of course, frustrated the sole employee making sandwiches as well as the long line of customers behind the ladies, but they did not seem to care. In fact, by the time they were finally pa ..read more

Staying up to date with technology has become an essential part of working-class life. It can be exhausting, especially with how quickly technology is advancing today. Think about it: not long ago, the internet didn't even exist. Now, we have a whole generation of employees working remotely or in a hybrid capacity. Who would've thought? But no matter your job, whether you work in a corporate office, factory, or restaurant, technology is constantly changing. New software to improve work processes, new robots to move the lines along quicker, or those dang QR codes to see a menu, we are all cons ..read more

There are tons of marketing ploys out there nowadays by big corporations trying to make more money. They may not make sense to us, the consumers, or even the employees, but they are policies set in stone that only upper management can dictate. I get groceries from a small, local grocery store where I live. Say I'm buying vegetables, and there might be a sign that says, "2 for $5!" I think to myself, "Might as well get two if they are on sale since I'm getting a deal." But then I notice in very tiny fine print it says, "Originally $2.50." That's not a deal! It's just a marketing ploy to g ..read more

You don't need to go to college to be a genius. You don't even have to finish high school! Some people are born with brains that think outside the box in ways that can't be taught. These people can do incredible things, as you'll see in this collection of photos below.  When it comes to creating new inventions, you don't need anything fancy. Check out that truck driver whose arm was hurting from resting it on the open window. Instead of letting their arm ache all day, the driver just cut up a pool noodle and put it on the window. That's a brilliant solution that probably costs under a do ..read more

There's something to be learned here about not taking things at face value and using a little common sense to draw a more logical conclusion. Often in life, things are simplified for us in order to cater to the lowest common denominator and, in the process, obfuscate the actual point of the information that was supposed to be communicated in the first place. An extreme example of this is our entire understanding of chemistry; we're taught from our days in middle school chem class—clear through an undergraduate bachelor's in chemistry—that reactions and the quanta of energy exchange happen in ..read more

No one wants to be micromanaged. Whether by a boss, a coworker, a partner, or even a family member, as an adult, we can handle things on our own. There is nothing more insulting than having someone constantly checking in on you to make sure you are getting things done. Well, that's just what happened to this truck driver when he was making a delivery to a client. He had to drive only a few hours and was running way ahead of schedule. As a trucker, sometimes the client has you install a tracking app so they can keep track of where their delivery is. But this entitled client took it even f ..read more

Every new hire deserves time to adjust to their new workflow, but sometimes it becomes instantly obvious that hiring someone was a mistake. There are several ways in which this can happen. For starters, the new hire could be one of those rare unicorns who is actually good at interviewing for positions despite being remarkably unqualified. On the other hand, it's quite possible that it was the company's fault. Perhaps the job requirements and expectations were unclear, and the only people to blame were the recruiters and hiring managers who did not clarify anything. Or perhaps this new employe ..read more

"I'm now not a 'girls girl' because I didn't back her, without being told I should or given any kind of heads up. I responded that if I want to pay for myself (especially because I didn't see myself and the blind date friend having a second date) was happy to put in for my portion. Friendship is effectively over, and I am looking to move out ..read more

On paper, working a couple of 12-hour shifts in a row sounds doable. After 5 minutes in the ICU debating pain levels with a sassy patient who claims they're allergic to cold air, those shifts start to feel more like a prison sentence. That's why nurses are an entirely different breed in the workforce. Although they're nearly as experienced as a doctor, they do twice the work with zero glory, taking out bedpans, flipping patients, and taking vitals like there's no tomorrow. We may look ergonomic in our scrubs and our Crocs, but nurses are suffering from carrying the entire hospital on their ba ..read more

People love giving unsolicited advice to high school students, even if that advice is unfounded, misguided, and totally unproductive.  For instance, the concept that these four years will determine how you end up spending the rest of your life is not only incredibly false but also potentially damaging to a teenager. Most of these nuggets of so-called "advice" likely stem from adults who have complex relationships with their own high school experiences. Perhaps they regret their approach to their school work or social lives. Or perhaps they are burdened with such delusion that they have f ..read more
