Poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on my end, as a wise person once said. That won't stop some people from doing that anyway, as this bakery worker was surprised to discover. While event planning, there's a lot to consider. Who should be invited? Where will the venue be? What kinds of decorations will we need? And of course, what will everyone be eating? That last one is pretty important. Having quality food can make or break an event. I'm sure we all remember a wedding…

“We laughed about it but it really was the craziest encounter with entitled people…”

Friendship is one of the most valuable relationships in life because you give everything to a friend and they want nothing in return.

The story that follows is about a disappointed female friend. For a long time, Mathew and the original poster (OP) have been close friends. Together, they faced the difficulties of…

This lady was asking for trouble. She was picking up her kid from school and decided to park on a neighbor's driveway. Now according to the neighbor, who shared this thread on the r/pettyrevenge subreddit, it is quite common for parents to back into his driveway during pickup as it can get especially crowded at that time. He is normally ok with this, as it seems to come with the territory of living across the street from a school. However, this time, the Original Poster was on his way home when…

It's hard not to be affected by the many inconveniences life can throw in your general direction. It's not easy to go with the flow and to move on from something that totally thwarted your plans. Whether it's learning the subway has been delayed a fully 20 minutes or finding out that the gift you ordered for your Mom's birthday arrived with imperfections, these mildly infuriating moments can only be overcome with humor and commiseration. Otherwise, your head might explode from frustration alone…

Despite the fact that family is what matters most in life, how would you react if your parents started assigning you random relatives to take care of? Would you gracefully stand your ground or would you quietly cave in to familial pressure? The step-sister who is frustrated is described in the story below. The original poster (OP) tells her tale in the touching post below. OP's parents divorced a few years ago, and her father remarried a new woman approximately a year later. Following a stern r…

It's not easy for the Karens of the world to follow rules. They tend to operate according to their own flawed and delusional sense of reality and ethics. So when this Karen employee was told to follow a specific set of rules when setting up her new work email and she didn't like the fact that she couldn't name her password after her generic dog's name, she decided to do away with the rules entirely and do what she wanted instead. Unfortunately for her, she would learn the consequences of those…

A man was housesitting at his partner's parent's house when he got the late night munchiess. At 1 a.m., he decided to browse through his food delivery apps to see what could satisfy his craving. His choice was a Slurpee and candy from a nearby 7/11. While waiting for his food, he fell asleep. The next morning, he went to check on his food only to find it missing and the police at his door. Apparently, the food was delivered to some unsuspecting neighbors who thought the police needed to be invo…

If you're going to be a Karen, you better be able to face the consequences of your actions.

We love our dogs. For some people, their dog is more important than any friendship and the dog's position in the household has been firmly secured as a bone-a-fide family member. Contrarily, the Karen in our next story never imagined that a dog would ever surpass her own self-imposed importance...

Anyone who ever took a class in Communication and talked about the concept of reality TV shows knows how much the need to know what is going on in other people's lives is set in human nature. In social studies, they call it ‘Peep Culture’, and the name is pretty self-explanatory. But even after sitting through those classes, the amount of energy and time people waste in being unnecessarily invested in other people's businesses can still boggle my mind, and even more so when they feel the need t…

At some jobs, there is no winning solution to the boss's problems . It's often an issue that management has, then insists on passing down to their workers. This malicious compliance story is a great example of that dynamic. This person shared that as a college student, they needed a new gig, and found one with a manager who was “ one of the biggest Karens you have ever met .” Off to a great start! As a new employee, this person was swamped. While Karen was changing the procedures, it meant that…

Cutting in line is always a dangerous game. Not only are you showing that you lack any sort of moral code, but also you are likely making enemies out of the other people in line, and their retaliation may be far more intense than just an eye roll. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/turtlesh0es , who was waiting to refill his tires at his local Wawa when an entitled Karen asked if she could go before him. The Redditor had already been waiting for some time and polit…
