'Infinite money glitch': Guy saves $50,000 by calling out a health insurance bill with tons of mistakes

We've all heard nightmarish tales of exorbitant health insurance bills. Usually, patients don't come out on top, but in rare cases, regular folks like you and I can stick it to the big man up in the insurance towers. All it takes is a big lawyer voice, a little patience on the phone, and a pair of hefty stones.

'He stole from the wrong dude': Guy retaliates against a phone thief by signing him (and his friends) up for every spam site he could find

It's 2023, who still steals phones? Back in the era when every iPhone 3 could be resold on the black market for an up-charge and even the flip phone Razr's were valuable, it was a lucrative business, but now there are so many security measures to protect phone owners, it's a wonder that thieves are still motivated to sneak their hands into their fellow citizens's pockets.

'[He] was clearly not the smartest cookie': Dude finds employer of guy who scammed his family member out $73 with fake concert tickets, gets him fired

Usually it's the person getting scammed that tends to be left feeling pretty unintelligent afterwards. Of course that full-blown piano wasn't $40, but you didn't want to miss the chance at a stellar deal, so you bought it online anyways. Now you have to report suspicious activity on your account and still no piano. It happens every now and then to the best of us. However, sometimes, when the stars align, or the scammer is sloppy, satisfying justice gets served. That is the happy story we found…

'So [I guess] I work in this story now?': Lady confuses customer as employee, he tries to show her the light but instead she assures him he 100% works there

when you go out to do your usual grocery shopping, you expect to be able to do it in peace. It's not the most fun activity, but is has to get done. You go about your list, get what you need, and get out. There's nothing usually exciting in between. Well, that's unless you become the victim of a Karen. Yup, it's another Karen story for you guys! This one we found on Reddit was short and sweet and just too funny not to share. OP was simply grocery shopping when a lady approached him and very aggr…

‘I won’t buy you a house... that's ridiculous': Unemployed neighbor asks former resident to buy him a house, because he can't afford one

‘I won’t buy you a house... that's ridiculous': Unemployed neighbor asks former resident to buy him a house, because he can't afford one

One dude took ‘neighborly kindness’ too far when he wrote a bunch of letters asking neighbors to donate him a house and sent them off, obviously unaware (on a core level) how outrageous his request was. One neighbor, u/SirHoneyDip, shared the letter to r/EntitledPeople, and the content of the letter was frankly, hilariously entitled. Some people really don't have much going on up there, do they? Asking people for favors is one thing, but asking people to buy you a WHOLE HOUSE? While being unemp…

'You're the one with the problem': Karen caught on camera refusing to let paralyzed swimmer share a lane in community pool

Some Karens can't even hide their warped perspectives. This woman kept shouting at a paralyzed swimmer, claiming that he hadn't reserved his lane in advance at the front desk. It turns out the swimmer had followed the correct protocol, and this woman merely was unhappy with the fact that his pool chair took up a full lane. Thankfully, her horrid behavior was caught on video and the footage went viral. The swimmer, who goes by Poppa Wheelie on the Internet, frequently posts motivational videos a…

‘Divorce is Wrong’: Top 26 Unpopular Opinions of the Week

Ahem, hi everyone, hello there, heya, greetings… Are you ready for a slightly cringey, perhaps off-putting selection of unpopular opinions? Have you slipped on your judgey glasses , and pushed them up your nose a bit, so you can look extra condescending when you go through them? Good, me too. If you've ever taken a 'mass communication' class in college, chances are you crossed paths with the ‘Spiral of Silence’, proposed by the German political scientist, Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann.

'You guys can't come bothering us for a walkout when we are having a meeting': Server shares how their manager forces them to wait after clocking out

Requiring your workers to complete work-related tasks while off the clock presents a range of moral, ethical, and legal issues. Still, it's incredibly common with different policies, making this intention incredibly overt to more subtle. At the end of the day, the design of these policies is to keep costs down, reducing labor costs by shaving off “unnecessary” time at the end of shifts, which means that workers are completing those “unnecessary” necessary tasks on their own time. A great exampl…

'Get me the manager... I want to watch as they fire you': Incensed cafe customer demands to speak to the manager after attempting to steal from their establishment

This customer woke up and decided everyone else should revolve their lives around his happiness. Some people wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and decide to ruin everyone else's day too. In customer service, this kind of entitlement is all too common. Some folks never seem to realize that they are one of 7.8 billion people on the planet. Instead, they think that everyone should wait on them like they're royalty. They lack the ability to put themselves in other people's shoes . The person in…

'McKaren thinks fast food worker doesn't deserve less than a living wage': Karen loses it online because they forgot to put ketchup in her delivery bag

It takes a special kind of person to throw a fit about the lack of ketchup in their McDonald's delivery order. Look, in fairness to McKaren over here, we all know the disappointment of ordering delivery from McDonald's late at night when you're having a craving and not getting exactly what you ordered. But here's the thing: the food has already been delivered and unless you absolutely cannot eat it, choosing this battle is simply not worth anyone's time, money, or energy. This Karen , however,…

'Ahh canoeing, the true test of love': 20+ People who overheard hilarious snippets of conversations in public

There's nothing like listening in to a good conversation you're not supposed to hear. It's fun to be a little bit of an eavesdropper ! How else will you ever find out everyone's secrets? Overhearing conversations is like having a little treat. You get a taste of what's going on in someone else's life, if only for a second. “Carla's coming to dinner and bringing her new BF"---tell me everything, girl. Oh, or “She ghosted me after our date, I think I'm going to delete her number"---I want to know…

'They found out she interviewed for another job': Boss forces employee to resign just because they took an interview elsewhere

'They found out she interviewed for another job': Boss forces employee to resign just because they took an interview elsewhere

There are several valid reasons for firing an employee, but this is beyond ridiculous. Employers are not within their rights to control whether or not one of their employees can get poached by another employer and recruiter. They cannot control whether or not you let that company or recruiter sit you down for an interview. Clearly, this employer thought otherwise. They forced this Redditor's best friend, who had been at the company for two years, to resign simply because they caught wind that s…

'He then hung up on her:' Hotel GM bans Karen customer after she writes a formal complaint about beloved employee who's worked their for 40+ years

Sometimes you get wonderful general managers to lead you and have your back and sometimes you don't. Too often on Reddit and other sources online you read about upper management being completely incompetent and pushing employees to quitting. But not this time! Finally, we have a story from Reddit that shows just how awesome a manager can actually be. A hotel employee was working the front desk, doing her job like normal. She has worked there for over 40 years, so they're basically an expert at…

They say quitters never win, but when it comes to jobs, sometimes you just need to know when to walk away… After all, we're not going to work the same jobs for our entire working lives. I think it's safe to say that the days of that being a likelihood are long behind us. Sure, our grandparents might have started working straight out of high school and spent their entire careers with one company, retiring at 55 with an excellent pension… But that's just not in the cards for anyone who isn't bord…

'[The housing developer] paid me ten grand to not sue them': Housing developer continually tries to push couple off their land, couple gathers evidence and consults a lawyer

There was a big shift in the housing market a few years ago, and this couple was right there to witness it happening in their own neighborhood. This couple did everything right while buying a home : they purchased a plot of land, built a home on it, and made sure there was no HOA to control them. But then a certain illness made sure to ruin the early 2020s for all of us, and it had people moving around like crazy. Suddenly, the couple found themselves surrounded by new neighbors. And, as happen…
