Though weddings might be magical for select brides, grooms, and guests, some wedding receptions are not all kittens and rainbows.

As a server/caterer at wedding venues, in particular, you witness many different kinds of people. These events are breeding grounds for the sick, the twisted, and the locked-away feelings that individuals might possess. This story isn't necessarily sick or twisted, but it is definitely one that might make you feel a bit hot-headed. Service industry workers have to deal with disturbing levels of entitlement, but this individual is more bizarre than anything else.

The employee in this story has an encounter with an entitled aunt at a wedding they're catering. First, she takes it upon herself to eat half of her meal before sending it back and demanding serving staff to bring her a different plate. Then, she does that again.

When entitlement takes the front seat, you end up doing something exceptionally rash, like eating off of the Maid of Honor's dinner plate despite not having been permitted to do so. Then, the entitlement might take a sharp left turn, leading you to take communal sauces and stick your fingers in them, which naturally contaminates them.

    When it came to serve dinner, we were all confused on where to go and who to serve. Tables were getting half served and mixed meals. Not a huge problem and fixable, but that was just a precursor to what was to come.

    It was one of, if not the, worst experience I had with a guest at a wedding and my first experience with a Karen and honestly, it kind of lived up to the hype lol.

    Responsible-Pain-4... . 8h ago Lol what a night. Good that the couple were on your side. The first wedding I ran, the entire reception, and I mean every single one of the 40 people there, got into a full on brawl within half an hour of arrival.

    Took a while for the bride and groom to calm down, but when they did they basically cut the whole thing short and told everyone to leave. Weddings are wild times, man. I've done some really wonderful ones that made me really enjoy serving, but the ones that go wrong go real wrong!
