'She was trying to steal': Scammy Karen tries to use a fake '99% off' coupon to swindle the cashier, gets pinched by the cops instead

It seems like we're always getting email promos for 10% off or 20% discounts to our favorite retail stores. Very rarely, you see a 40-50% sale and only when a store is going out of business do you catch anything higher than 75% off. That's why when one cashier spotted a Karen waltzing into their store with a 99% off coupon, they smelled something fishy.

'[I told] my boss I won't be staying overtime... [Not even] 5 minutes': Employee lets boss have it after he gets reprimanded for not staying past work hours for unpaid overtime

Is it really that difficult of a concept to grasp that you should pay your employees for their work? The whole “get this bread” mentality that has you working over time for no extra pay is completely whack and millennials and Gen Z are starting to shine light on that. However, there are still employers out there telling you to “show initiative” by staying late and giving up more hours of your life for free. How do these types of employers not see how soul sucking and entitled that is? A guy who…

'He's lucky I didn't quit on the spot': Hardworking employee gets a second job to make ends meet; get chastised by his first boss when he's no longer available 24/7

Bosses don't always appreciate the hard work we do. In this case, one employee was painfully reminded of that truth after they got burned by the strict scheduling. As one of the unlucky part-time employees, OP was doomed to be scheduled for only 10 hours per week at the gas station. Originally, that seemed fine because they were also going to school, but as the money dwindled and the bills piled up, OP had no choice but to seek out more hours.

'Faces dropped... She starts back pedaling': Teachers hold student back from graduation, student complies by leaving school early

There are a surprising amount of people who fail gym class . I know what you're thinking — how can someone possibly fail gym class? I completely understand how. If you don't want to get sweaty and smell gross all day long, you can't run, and therefore, you might fail. It's a sacrifice many are willing to make, to the fury of our gym teachers. It's just not possible to run several miles and not get sweaty, and I recall classmates of mine who did run their laps. They were basically sweaty all day…

‘You say the vehicle works, so take it back’: Customer attempts to return vehicle due to malfunction, car dealership refuses to buy it back

A car is the 2nd largest purchase you will make, aside from a house. Back in the 90s, car dealerships looked somewhat like a circus; all the balloons, streamers, inflatable wiggly men, the big price stickers on cars… but nowadays, car dealerships are supposedly more 'honest', more direct, and frankly, more concise in terms of financing. In this case, OP's car dealership was incompetent. OP's SUV was throwing error codes, so they took it to the dealership for them to take a look. After taking a…

'I proceed to lay my arm perfectly on top of his': Dude takes over woman's entire armrest, becomes the armrest

It is often said that you become that which you desire most—at least, I think so… I may be making this one up as, if it were true, I'd have turned into a chicken nugget by now. Regardless of whether this is actually an expression, this guy manifested it into existence when he felt entitled to take over the entire armrest between himself and a stranger while attending a theater performance. Normally this is a bad move. Sure, you might think that the space is there, so someone should use it—and w…
