A Lying ‘Karen’ Was Called Out in Owner’s Response to a Poor Review

Oh, “Karen.”

If you’ve ever worked in the service industry you know this customer: entitled, rude, and way more of a pain than they’re worth. They expect special treatment then bully the staff and demand to complain to a manager when they don’t get their way.

This particular Karen decided to leave a negative (and clumsily crafted) review for a pub that her large, obnoxious party visited. The owner’s response is absolutely perfect.

Wow. We already know exactly what kind of customers these are.

The story could have ended here, with this Karen’s nasty review speaking for itself, but of course that’s not what happened.

I doubt this Karen expected the owner of The Cowshed to give her such a thorough and public response.

Clearly the owner is not here to play games.

They’re going to break it down for this Karen and her party.

Lying about what actually happened is a common theme with most Karens. They’re usually looking to receive a discount/free product.

Another tried and true Karen tactic is to threaten the livelihoods of the employees they’re interacting with by claiming to have received “horrible service.”

Jo’s lies don’t hold up against video footage and actual receipts.

As delicious as 77 pizzas sound, I have a hard time believing only three tables worth of people could purchase so much pizza in just one sitting.

In her review, Jo claims her party was mistreated, but the owner refutes this claim.

They describe how this Karen and her party demanded special treatment, even though they showed up late, and proceeded to behave like “belligerent, entitled little toddlers.”

Image Credit: Image Credit: Cheezburger

As someone who used to work in the food service industry, I can attest to how difficult it can be to accommodate large parties if they don’t show up on time.

Half an hour doesn’t sound like much, but if it’s a popular eating establishment with limited seating and you have guests who show up on time and are ready to pay, you don’t turn them away for a large party that could possibly no-show.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

The party didn’t just show up late. They broke glasses, argued loudly, made a general mess, asked to bring in outside food, and their demands pressured the staff into shuffling around other paying customers.

This behavior displays a clear sense of entitlement with little regard for the staff, restaurant property, or their fellow guests.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Mistreating someone who works in the food service industry is shameful anytime, but it’s particularly shameful during a pandemic. Life is stressful enough.

Clearly these servers don’t have the benefit of getting to work from home. They’re spending their day serving other people during a global health crisis. Show some compassion.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Gross. Just…gross.

With behavior like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if the owner barred them from ever coming back, right then and there.

This is what our Karen claims happened, but is that really what went down?

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Nobody is perfect, and plenty of us have done things we regret after a night of drinking or a stressful social event, but it turns out this Karen didn’t even attempt an apology before posting her negative review.

She is once again called out for lying and thoroughly reprimanded, but Team Cowshed doesn’t stop there.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

That’s called karma, Karen.

Hopefully this will be the lesson she and her party need to adjust their behavior going forward.

Or at least, hopefully this will prevent them from causing the same trouble for other restaurants in the area.

Team Cowshed ends their reply with a message for all other potential patrons:

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to visit The Cowshed and buy myself 77 of their most expensive pizzas. I just hope their food is as satisfying as this response.

People Share Their Favorite “Poverty Meals” They Love No Matter How Much Money They Have

Do you have a favorite “poverty meal” that has stuck with you regardless of how much cash you had in your pocket?

Maybe it’s peanut butter and jelly, maybe it’s plain tuna fish out of the can, or maybe it’s good old fashioned SPAM.

Whatever your preference, most of us do indeed have these culinary delights that stick with us through the bad times and the good ones.

AskReddit users shared their favorite poverty meals.

1. Some good ones.

“Lentil stew

Boiled potatoes with salt and a couple of slices of herring

Cabbage soup and crackers

Tea and toast

Steamed rice with furikake.”

2. Do it the old way.

“Pizza in Italy was originally only eaten by poor people who couldn’t afford proper meals, and so they used the basics of flour, tomatoes and other cheap items to come up with pizza.

However, instead of the meat and other things on modern pizza, the basic vegetables make the pizza just as tasty and I always enjoy eating it.”

3. An Indian dish.

“There’s a south indian dish called Kanji, which is pretty much just rice put in water and cooked for a really long time.

Sort of like rice porridge.Then you put different food items and curries inside for flavor.

I still make it all the time, especially when I’m sick.”

4. Give them a shot.

“Lentils! Great cheap protein and can be used so many ways. Lentils with curry and whatever cheap veg is around, usually spinach or cauliflower.

Also a baked plantain for a super cheap and filling snack.”

5. Nice and easy.

“Fried egg with rice and beans.

I was a missionary in Brazil for a few years and when I would eat at peoples homes they would apologize for that being the only thing they could afford.

I could not convince them that it was one of my favorite meals.”

6. Really cheap.

“Yellow pea soup.

500g yellow peas. Soak over night

1 onion. Halve.

Boil together until peas start to fall apart.

Add salt, thyme and marjoram.

Enjoy with mustard.

About 1 buck will give you ten servings. And gas.

But it’s one of my all-time favorite meals.”

7. I love these!

“English muffin pizza.

A jar of pasta sauce, English muffins, mozzarella and toppings of your choice. Fresh produce is dirt cheap.

The pasta sauce is the most expensive part, and if you make it, and the English muffins at home, each mini pizza is like 30 cents.”

8. Sign of the times.

“Velveeta.

Made a huge comeback in my house at the beginning of pandemic when we were scared, unemployed, and feeling sorry for ourselves.”

9. Listen to this person.

“I’m a chef. I own a restaurant.

I’ve eaten some of the finest foods on this planet.

Very few things taste better than box Mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs.”

10. A classic.

“Cuban style rice and black beans.

Sure, I’ll toss in some avocado now I can afford to, but the base dish stays the same.”

11. A delight.

“Peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Containers of both last forever.

Last year, we lost power for 13 days in the rural area I was living in and lost all food. I lived off those sandwiches on rye bread for those two weeks and bottled water. Never got sick of them at all lol.

I lost 12 pounds.”

12. Yum!

“In Ireland (specifically Dublin) we have a dish called coddle. It’s a salty white stew from the days of the poor tenements.

It’s made with leftover sausages, bacon, potatoes and variable other veggies and grain such as barley.

It is an ugly dish to look at but it is so tasty, wholesome and filling.”

13. The good stuff.

“Buttered Noodles!

Any pasta, a scoop of butter, and a dash of salt.”

14. Good idea!

“A gas station slushie mixed with gas station wine.

Poor man’s daiquiri.”

Now we want to hear from you.

What “Cool” Things You Did as a Kid Now Make You Cringe? Here’s What People Had to Say.

We all have those experiences where coming of age can be…awkward…

You think you’re cool when you’re about 16 and then you look back on that time when you’re 25 and you cringe…

And then you look back on 25 when you’re 40 and you cringe even more…

I guess what I’m trying to say is that life is a non-stop cringe-fest.

What are things you did as a kid you thought were cool but now make you cringe?

Let’s see what these folks had to say on AskReddit.

1. What’s wrong with you?

“I thought raising my eyebrow at every little thing made me look cool.

Looking back, it looked like I had problems.”

2. Liar!

“Grade 1 I took one of those chocolate coins in gold foil, put a hole in it and ran a string through, and tied er around my neck

Went to school bragging I won a medal in a hockey tournament…SMH…”

3. A big “UGH.”

“I used to wear padlocks on my belt loops.

For extra stupid, they were padlocks I’d busted off the lockers in PE class with a shoe.

So there I was walking around with four or so padlocks dangling from the belt loops of my JNCOs.

Ugh.”

4. Karate kid.

“I remember signing up for a martial arts class and wearing a black and red gi and a red belt on my first day thinking I would look totally bad *ss.

My instructor made me take off the belt and gi top and told me to never do that again.”

5. Breakin’.

“I would breakdance in front of my large family at every event I could.

Unfortunately my father likes to film things for memory so every so often I am reminded of my god awful dance moves as a 10 year old when we watch old home videos.

I would also do finger guns at the camera afterwards like I was the best dancer ever filmed.”

6. Very stylish.

“Wore a brown suede jacket with a Hawaiian shirt to my senior picture day.

By jacket, I mean blazer, and it was too big with a very 90s cut to it – nothing remotely “cool leather jacket” about it. Also, dug out the old yearbook. It’s worse than I remember: it was not suede, it was microfiber faux suede.

But I very much appreciate the approval of the concept.”

7. That’s impressive.

“I thought I’d look so cool and bad*ss drinking orange juice while eating mints at the same time without flinching or gagging.

I did this at school and at various events.

Thanks to that, I can now handle doing that no problem but it’s bad knowing why it doesn’t bother me.”

8. What’s wrong with you?

“I remember watching some kind of anime where this dude would smack a tree with a stick for hours to train. So that’s what I did.

In my free time I would go in my backyard and whack my tree for hours with a stick.

I thought I was bad*ss, my parents probably thought I was crazy.”

9. Rock star.

“Apparently bandanas looked cool (was into guns and roses as young teen)…

But it wasn’t a proper one, it was my granny’s neck scarf LOL.”

10. It’s okay, you were bored.

“I lived in an apartment growing up. I thought it was hilarious to stand in the entry way of the apartment building as still as possible facing a wall, wearing an oversized t-shirt that covered the pair of shorts I had on, and then wear pants around my ankles…

I was a bored kid…”

11. Getting dark.

“One of my senior photos is actually me in leather with a sword in the middle of a cemetery.

It’s still a cool photo but it’s like “yeah… No”.”

12. Dumb move!

“While Mom was busy at the bank teller’s window, I spotted a long row of light switches in a remote area of the lobby.

As a bad*ss kid, I reached up and turned off the entire row, plunging the bank in darkness.

That, in turn, called the cops because bank staff thought the place was being robbed!”

13. Ouch!

“At around 8-9y/o, I decided I wanted vampire fangs. Best way to accomplish this? Grind my canine teeth with rocks.

Literally cringe as an adult, because they still occasionally sear with pain from a mistake made in a single afternoon.”

14. Major poppin’ going on.

“I used to wear two Hollister shirts with both collars popped up all the time.

I hate looking at those pictures in my moms house.”

Okay, now it’s time to embarrass yourself.

In the comments, tell us about the things you did as a kid that now make you cringe.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Here Are Some of the Best Tweets From Parents We’ve Seen in a While

Parents have some of the best Twitter accounts – at least, that’s what I think now that I’m a parent. We just love to congregate and tell war stories and reassure one another that yes, it’s definitely a phase (because it’s always a phase!).

If that sounds like something you need in your life, then please enjoy these 14 lovely tweets!

14. This is the best joke I’ve read in awhile.

And what an excuse for class!

My 9-month-old ate part of her sister’s math worksheet and now we’re waiting to see if she passes algebra.

— Jessie (@mommajessiec) September 1, 2020

13. Kids are gonna be kids.

Get some tweezers, teachers.

Day 4 of home schooling – My kids are bullying the teacher by body shaming him, just because he has bushy eyebrows

— Vinod Chhaproo (@Chhapiness) August 31, 2020

12. Probably more than once.

And if you’ve got two kids (or more), my heart is with you.

Every time a parent’s sleep is near, a thirsty child must first appear

— Maryfairyboberry (@maryfairybobrry) August 30, 2020

11. I’m not sure he knows what that means.

Bless his heart.

Me: (on toilet) Sweety, mommy needs privacy when she pees

3: ok (closes door and stands next to me with the dog)

Me:

3: we private now

— Kids_kubed (@Kids_kubed) August 27, 2020

10. It’s a beautiful name.

If only it had worked out.

First born: What was I almost named?
Dad: You were going to be Valerie
Middle child: What about me?
D: Victor
Last born: What was I supposed to be?
Mom: Vasectomy

— Melanie Gibson (@ImMelanieGibson) September 1, 2020

9. That’s the perk of being the teacher.

I hear you get gifts on holidays.

I just gave the kids extra credit for helping carry my wine from the car to the house. Shutup, I'm the teacher now and it's fine. Everything's fine.

— Divergent Mama (@divergentmama) August 31, 2020

8. “Oh.”

Run if they begin a sentence this way.

[9 PM, night before 1st day back to school]

Child: Oh. I need to bring in 36 cupcakes tomorrow.

— Rodney Lacroix (@RodLacroix) August 31, 2020

7. Honesty is the best policy.

Also they don’t need a reason.

[kids screaming at each other]

Me: What are you fighting about?

10-year-old: We haven't decided yet.

— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) August 30, 2020

6. Kind of makes you want to cry, doesn’t it?

You’re welcome.

I reread the email from March that school would close for two weeks while we got Covid under control just to feel something.

— Real Life Mommy (@reallifemommy3) August 31, 2020

5. Wasn’t that the goal?

Maybe not in so many words.

*opens door to find my 5YO sprayed an entire bottle of my $80 perfume, painted a dresser in $20 lip gloss, & used my $60 eyeshadow palette on her dolls*

Me: {inaudible SCREAMS}

9: well, this is just GREAT! You BROKE MOM!!!

— MomTransparenting (@momtransparent1) September 2, 2020

4. After having two kids, I think this is scientifically accurate.

Fight me.

Fact: kids have 2 stomachs. One is the meal stomach. It's about the size of a pea. This is why children cannot consume a full breakfast, lunch, dinner.

The second stomach is the snack stomach. This stomach stretches and has infinite amount of space.

— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) August 28, 2020

3. “Walking the dog” is the greatest excuse to escape ever.

May I also recommend listening to audiobooks or a podcast while you do?

If you see me on the corner with a bottle of wine and my dogs, mind your business. It's just mommy recess time.

— Divergent Mama (@divergentmama) September 1, 2020

2. It’s the patience part that’s the hardest.

It will be the test of your life.

I think I missed the chapter in the parenting books where it said that I would one day have to patiently wait for a stuffed monkey to take a pretend pee while I was running late.

— Goldfish and Chicken Nuggets (@gfishandnuggets) August 27, 2020

1. It really is.

But I mean, it’s all exhausting, so.

It's exhausting being the only person in this family who knows how to properly open a bag of chips or box of cereal.
–All moms

— Scary Mommy (@ScaryMommy) September 1, 2020

I want to virtually high-five all of these folks!

Parenting Tweets for the Rest of Us

Some days I enjoy scrolling through all the posts my friends and fellow parents put up, their kids dressed and smiling and everyone getting along.

Other days, I want to know what y’alls lives are really like, and for that, I go to Twitter – and to tweets like these 12, which remind us that no one’s life is perfect (but there’s usually humor to be found).

12. No judgement.

You’ve gotta get your kicks where you can.

They never should have let me have kids.

Take the time to randomly scream a horrible scream at quiet times to scare the shit out of your kids. pic.twitter.com/sdzvW7Jwia

— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) September 1, 2020

11. The prayer of the parents of strong-willed kids everywhere.

Don’t kill their spirit, they said…

My daughters persistence is one of her greatest qualities and it will serve her well in the future, I just hope it doesn’t kill me first.

— Rhyming Mama (@sarabellab123) August 30, 2020

10. Sounds like you’re raising him right.

You reap what you sow and all that.

I kinda fucked up my merge and I'm currently getting roasted by a 3 year old in a car seat how are you

— Village Person (@SvnSxty) August 27, 2020

9. The first lesson in “always and never” aren’t the best words.

They’ll forget it tomorrow, don’t worry.

me: eat this food

baby: never

me: the food is now an airplane

baby: “never” was a strong word

— randy (@randypaint) September 1, 2020

8. They keep you on your toes.

For better or worse.

My kid sneezes and if you aren't quick enough with "bless you" he says, "don't worry I'm okay" in the most condescending tone ever uttered by a 2 year old

— Not Another Pinterest Mom (@snarkymomtobe) August 31, 2020

7. They have a lot of questions.

And they do not care about your vanity.

Today my 4 year-old asked "when you are an adult do you have to buy a car or do they just give you one because you are old?"

Absolutely shredded by a kid who pissed his bed this morning.

— Yukon Guzman (@GrahamKritzer) August 31, 2020

6. Hangry is a real problem.

I feel like doing that myself sometimes.

My two year old is rolling around on the ground kicking and screaming in this parking lot because she's "starving" and we "never feed her." It's the parking lot of the restaurant where we're about to eat.

— Henpecked Hal (@HenpeckedHal) September 1, 2020

5. The milestones just keep coming.

Even if you don’t really want them to.

My kids are at the age now where we can have entire conversations using nothing but eye rolls.

— Pinky (@mack44_d) August 31, 2020

4. That moment comes for all of us.

There’s no avoiding it; might as well celebrate.

Every time my daughter rolls her eyes at me I fantasize about the day she realizes we’re exactly alike. Boom. Genetics are a bitch.

— Rhyming Mama (@sarabellab123) September 1, 2020

3. The horror.

Mom wishes she was alone at lunch, too.

My tween is very upset about her assigned lunch hour. None of her friends are there, the food sucks, and, oh god, her mom sits at her lunch table.

— Jessie (@mommajessiec) August 31, 2020

2. No explanation necessary.

It’s on hand for everyday emergencies. Like your children.

Wife: Why is the vodka out?

Me: [gesturing to kids]

— Rodney Lacroix (@RodLacroix) August 30, 2020

1. You can’t be expected to perform miracles.

Even though you basically do every day.

My son and daughter are arguing over these little bouncy balls and my daughter keeps yelling “DON’T TOUCH MY BALLS STOP TOUCHING MY BALLS” and I’m only human how am I supposed to hold this laughter in what if I damage my spleen

— Arianna Bradford (@TheNYAMProject) September 1, 2020

You gotta laugh to keep from crying some days, right?

People Share Stories About When They Caught Their Significant Others Cheating

Getting cheated on is one of life’s ultimate betrayals.

If that sounds dramatic, it’s because that’s what goes down when this sort of thing happens: it’s full of drama, crying, fighting, etc. DRAMA.

And it’s also very hurtful to the person who is the one that gets left in the dark.

People were asked to open up about how they caught their partners cheating and how it made them feel…

Here are some tales of heartbreak from people on AskReddit.

1. The nanny…and some weed.

“My ex husband and his family smoked a lot of pot, still do.

His sister, kids, and nanny were visiting from out of state for a few weeks. When it was time to fly home they left their stash at my ex MILs house because they didn’t want to take it on the plane. My ex asked if I would pick it up because I was nearby. Stupidly I agree.

I don’t smoke and I was willing to carry it in my car for him. To my surprise I found a note from the nanny to my ex saying she was in love with him and she was so happy for the time they had together. Obviously she thought he would get the weed instead of me.

While it was incredibly painful at the time I am definitely living my best life 15 years later.”

2. She confessed.

“My best friend was friends with my gf and her roommates. Word got to my friend about her bringing some dude home after a party and my friend eventually spilled to me.

She said “I really don’t want to tell you this and I know this will crush you, but I can’t keep this from you.” After she dropped the bomb I was like “Hell no! That would never happen!” and then I confronted by gf about it that night who broke down and confessed everything.

I stayed with that girl for another 7 months and God bless my friend for sticking by my side and supporting the whole way. When I finally ended things, my best friend was still there to support me and care for me.

Also haven’t dated anyone for longer than 6 months since that happened 7 years ago…”

3. A broken heart.

“I walked in the door to her coworker on the couch, obviously uncomfortable and clothes messy and her locked in the bathroom.

I wanted to pummel him then and there, but he was a trained MMA fighter, and I would’ve left the house that night with more than a broken heart. I just left.

They started dating the next day.

Sucks. It took a while for me to get trust back in relationships.”

4. I’m not dumb.

“Wife was acting unusual for a few weeks.

She would want to spend time by herself on the weekends and when she came home at night from work she would often sit in the driveway for 20 minutes on the phone.

I’m not dumb.

I bought a voice activated digital recorder and stuck it in her car. I knew what I needed to know in less than 24 hours.”

5. Round and round it goes.

“She confessed to her mom… Then mother in law called her other daughter and told her…

Sister in law then called me and told me, she let me listen in on a three way call to her mom and tried to convince mom to tell me but she refused which basically confirmed it.”

6. The last to know.

“June 1, 2018. Normal day. A Friday.

My husband had kissed me goodbye and gone to work. I was cleaning the house for company who was coming to stay the weekend. The doorbell rang. There was a man at my door who introduced himself as the husband of a woman who my husband worked with.

He was there to tell me that my husband and his wife were having an affair. He had busted them about six months prior and had told his wife that she had to end the affair. He thinks that she did end it…for about three months, but then they started up again.

When he found out they were at it again, he called my husband (because he knew if he confronted him in person, he’d be in a jail cell for what he’d have done).

On the phone, he told my husband to leave his wife alone or else he would come and tell me everything that was happening. Apparently, my husband thought that he was bluffing.

So I was literally the last to know. My husband never came home again. He got an air b’n’b and a lawyer. The divorce was December 21, 2018.

We had been together for 24 years. Still hurts.”

7. Where could he be?

“I owned a house with my fiancé.

I woke up in the middle of the night and he wasn’t in bed. I went searching. His truck and another vehicle were in the driveway. Then, I went upstairs and found the guest bedroom was locked. After barging my way in… I found him with another woman in bed.

That bed happened to be my childhood bed. He forced me out of the room… literally grabbed me by the neck and pushed me out and closed the door back. I knew I couldn’t do anything at that point, so I called his parents who lived a few blocks away.

His dad showed up and another fight broke out. I ended up leaving and staying at his parents until dawn. I moved out that weekend and let the house foreclose. 9 years later.. it’s finally off my credit report.

I’m happily married to an amazing man and we own a beautiful home together.”

8. What a creep.

“The husband of one of the women he was cheating on me with called me at work.

At first I didn’t believe him and hung up. How could the man i spent the past 8 years with, had 2 beautiful babies with, suffered together the loss of one of those children do something so hurtful?? Still a part of me had doubt. He had affairs in other relationships and we had a rocky patch early in the beginning where I suspected an affair but didn’t have proof.

I told my boss I felt sick and had to leave early and I called this guy back and found out that my ex and his wife along with one of their friends were all sleeping together for about a year. He had confronted my ex and told him that he was going to tell me but my ex convinced him to wait a month since my mother had just died.

I took my time coming home and confronted him and told him to pack and leave. Since I’ve pieced together a lot of what happened and all the lies he told me where if I was in a different headspace I might have caught on to the affairs earlier.

I also found videos hidden on one of our computers and found out he was having booty calls in our apartment while I was at work and he was watching our daughter.

At that point it put the headstone on any possibility of reconciliation.”

9. Unhealthy.

“Very unhealthy relationship. He was emotionally very abusive and I was in a terrible place with my mental health.

I found out at the ultrasound to determine the gender of our child. He was late and I was noodling on Facebook waiting to be called.

He was tagged in some photos in my news feed from a gig he’d been at on the previous weekend. Random lass was in all the photos of him and they were all over each other. Also they were making out in the background of one photo.

He turned up after I was called in. While the technician was printing the images I told him I knew. He went off and on about how I was making it up, he’d never do that, obviously I was lying to compensate for cheating on him and so on. When I pointed out there were photos he stormed out and left me there.

My Dad had turned up during the appointment (anticipating that he’d react badly if we were having a girl, which he did, that was scattered through the cheating denials) and took me home.

I considered us broken up at that point and stopped all contact except texts related to the pregnancy.

Mostly I was relieved. I had concrete evidence that it wasn’t in my head and I finally managed to escape that relationship.”

10. Business trip.

“He went to Hawaii for a business trip without his wife and kids. Like a good wife, I packed his clothes before he left and unpacked his dirty laundry when he returned home.

I found a tiny pair of white cotton panties (no lace) in his suitcase. He had recently dropped a lot of weight (>100 lbs) and played it off that he had bought them for himself …. they had no label and were simple bikinis so theoretically could have been men’s as well.

It did sort of explain the pretty brunette that followed him off the plane at the airport and kept looking at my kids and I at the luggage carousel (what an *ss to make his side piece come face to face with his wife and kids).

I made sure he wore those panties at least once a week for the remaining few months we were together (I set out his clothes everyday and he couldn’t protest).”

11. A sad story.

“I was married.

Out of the blue while at work I get an email that says (husbands name) ‘s wife.

When I open the email it lists off a name and says (husbands name) married to her. Check on Facebook

(English was not the first language, this was overseas)

So I do and what do I see? Tons and tons and tons and tons of pictures of a woman with my husband. The woman and her kids with my husband. The woman and her family with my husband.

I was stunned to say the least. It was October 6th 2017, 7 months after I almost died from an ectopic pregnancy. Yep we were trying at that point to have kids.

After work I went home and started throwing all of his stuff in the dumpster. He was out of town at the time so I had plenty of time to do it. Spent all of Saturday and Sunday throwing EVERYTHING he owned in the dumpster.

A month later I moved to a new apartment and waited until then to tell him I was divorcing him.

He then killed himself a few months later.”

12. An eye-opening experience.

“I was 8 months pregnant with our second child at the time and he wanted to go visit his brother for the weekend. I asked my doctor if it was safe for me to travel and she said it would be fine.

I told my husband I could go but he said he was really hoping to just have some time with his brother, I understood because a new baby really makes it hard to spend quality time but I asked if he could take our older son (3yo at the time) so he could see his grandma and cousins.

He said they were planning on drinking and whatnot and wasn’t sure it would be a good idea. (They’re country boys so think shooting, drinking and whatnot) I agreed and he left for the weekend. After he left I get a call from his best friend telling me that he’ll be in town for the weekend and he wanted to meet up, not weird he called me because my husband was terrible at answering his phone.

I told him unfortunately my husband was visiting back home, bad timing. His best friend then said ok, I’m going to call you back. And hung up very abruptly. Turns out my husband and his wife had been caught by him a few months previously and he gave them a chance to make it right…I don’t know why.

He didn’t tell me but threatened to if they didn’t stop. Well, they didn’t stop and he told me. I think the worst part was that my husband’s family knew and never once thought to tell me. These people were my family for 5 years and nothing.

It’s been almost 10 years now and I’m so much happier but it was definitely an eye opening experience.”

13. A strange look on her face…

“My ex was a big drinker and I wasn’t.

She would frequent this bar close to our place pretty often with friends. I rarely went because I just wasn’t a fan of bars or her drinking friends. One night she went out with a couple that I didn’t mind that much. I was bored at home so I decided to head over for a little bit.

As I walk in I see my ex sitting at the bar with the couple. The bar was packed and as soon as I made eye contact my ex she had this strange look on her face. She turns to this guy sitting next to her, and he immediately gets up and leaves.

I felt something strange right away, but I brushed it off as me being irrational. I stayed for like an hour and headed home. I couldn’t shake the feeling I had though so I checked one of her friend’s Facebook page to see if there was any connection that existed between my ex and this random dude. Sure enough he was friends with one of my ex’s friends.

I knew his name now and that I wasn’t as crazy as I thought. I sat on the information though. The next weekend she goes out drinking again and still had not returned home at 4 am.

I tried contacting her multiple times and I got no response. I woke up to her coming home at 7 am and jumping in the shower immediately. I decided to check her phone while she was in the shower, and she kept all of the messages with this same guy. Some pretty telling information in the text thread.

While she was still showering I grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and headed to my best friends house. 20 minutes later I get a phone call with her going ape sh*t about me leaving and not saying anything. I laughed at the projection, told her that if she wasn’t moved out by Monday the police would be there to force her out.

She wasn’t on the lease and her parents lived 10 minutes away from me. That was that.”

People Share What They Think Screams “I’m Much Wealthier Than I Look”

Rich folks are an odd group. Some of them like to flaunt it, and some of them like to keep it a secret from the world for one reason or another.

It’s like when you read an article about a woman who lived in a run-down shack with 75 cats and no running water and you later find out she was worth $10 million. Weird, right?

But, that’s life!

What screams “I’m way richer than I look?”

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Interesting…

“Unique or somewhat odd collections of things most people don’t collect.

I worked in a high-end whisky store for many years, and the number of shabbily-dressed men from overseas who strode in to spend $5,000 – $10,000 on whisky for their collection was staggering. They were always chatty, knowledgeable, and above all casual.

One man in particular had been collecting for decades, his wife was fully supportive (she had her own collection of rare items, he implied), and he enjoyed traveling the world to pick them up as an excuse to go someplace. Conversations often went like this:

Customer: “I see from your website you have the [rare bottling from 1967]? Do you have any in stock now?”

Me: “We do, yes. It’s downstairs. In fact we have a few of that vintage, as well as the [1953, 1966, and 1972]. Would you like to know the prices?”

Customer: “Oh, great. I think that fills a couple of gaps in my collection. And if not the guys and my wife will enjoy cracking one open. Can you package them up for me please?”

Me: “Would…would you like to know how much they are, sir?”

Customer: “Can you ship them all to my place? In fact, if you have discounts for bulk items, I’d like to know what other vintages you have.”

And so on.”

2. I had no idea!

“I went to dinner with a GF and her parents. After we ate, the owner came out and asked how the meal was and then we left without a bill ever coming to the table.

On the way home I asked GF about it and she said her dad had “tabs” at all the restaurants he liked to eat at.

As we were leaving the valet brought the cars around and I mentioned I liked his Tahoe. I asked what year it was and he kind laughed and said whatever is the newest one.

I didn’t know he owned a car dealership in another city.”

3. Booking the fancy rooms.

“I work at a luxury resort.

People call to book rooms with me all day and they aren’t cheap. I can tell when it’s obvious a young couple who had to scrape together the dough for the cheapest room.

But every once in a while I’ll get a call from someone who casually calls and asks to book the biggest room without asking for the price. They know exactly what they want and the price means nothing to them.

2.5k a night? No biggie. Here is my card number.”

4. The old man.

“I had reason to frequent a small but popular marina at a certain Gulf Coast city.

I encountered one old man often, enough we greeted each other with random chit chat. Lovely gentleman. He wore a crumpled old hat, a grease spotted tee shirt, cut off jeans, and worn deck shoes. He always puttered around the largest yacht in the marina, about 60′ long.

He would polish the chrome, wash the deck, clean the life preservers. I didn’t assume he was the maintenance guy because he had such self confidence. I never saw him actually take it out.

I got up the nerve to ask security who he was; he owned most the commercial real estate in the city.”

5. Don’t talk about it.

“They avoid any discussion of money.

When paying for anything they like to do it privately/quietly/before anyone else is aware, so you end up walking in and out of places feeling like you haven’tpaid, almost as if money doesn’t exist.

They don’t flaunt it.

Source: I was dating a girl and didn’t realize she and her whole family were rich until her dad picked us up for dinner in a brand new Mercedes, proceeded to pay for everything during our trip, and our Christmas presents were first class flights to the US (from Australia) for a ski holiday…

That’s around AUD$10-15k (US$7-11k) per person. He also financially supports his other daughter at Cornell University/living in the US.

I grew up poor (and still am, lol)… But I never realized how poor until I met that family.”

6. Had no idea.

“Oh God. I dated a rich girl in high school but didn’t realize it until it was time to meet her dad.

She had me meet them at a restaurant that there was absolutely no way I could have afforded the tip, let alone my meal. It was awkward (for me, at least) assuming I wasn’t going to pay anything when the check came.”

7. A good friend.

“One of my good friends made a bunch of money in oil and then invested it in tech companies that ended up doing extremely well.

2 years out of college he was a multimillionaire. He’d still go out to drink with us like normal and would pick up the tab for dinner and drinks for a group of 8 to 12 of us without a second thought.

He didn’t flaunt it or anything, just wanted his friends to have a good time without worrying about money while he was around.”

8. Join the party!

“The type that nonchalantly offers you a spot in their luxury box at a game or concert, or covers your course fees at a golf outing even though you barely know them.”

9. This one, right here.

“Wearing a T-shirt and jeans in a room of people wearing suits.

My company CEO does this all the time.”

10. Did you sleep in that?

“Back in high school I used to do rowing, and at the rowing club there was this guy who wasn’t great at socialising, was a little awkward, but he was friendly so I didn’t mind him.

We often went out on the same boats and would talk to each other (as much as was possible while rowing), and at the end his dad would always pick him up afterwards wearing sweatpants, slippers and a hoodie.

You might understand why, then, I didn’t believe my friend when he told me that they were one of the richest families in the world. I looked them up, and sure enough, there they were, worth an estimated 15.5 BILLION DOLLARS.

Now whenever I see someone out in public looking like they’re wearing what they slept in I always assume they’re mega rich and don’t car about a thing anymore.”

11. No idea.

“Not knowing prices for common household items/foodstuffs.

Either they’re getting the super deluxe version and don’t know the standard price or they haven’t done their own food shopping for years.

To clarify, it’s not about knowing the exact price of a product (most don’t), but having no real conception of even a ball park figure.

Being used to buying vastly more expensive things, they guess what they believe to be “cheap”, yes, like Bill Gates’ appearance on Ellen.”

12. No brands.

“Really rich people don’t wear clothes with a big brand on display because they don’t make free publicity for anyone.

For clothes they have specific shops who could tailor them high quality clothes, purses or shoes anytime.”

13. You’d never know.

“My boss drives a $2,000 Mercedes from the 1980’s, usually wears jeans and sh*tty clothes at all times.

No jewlery or watch, owns a $150,000 used house.

He’s worth $2 billion.”

Now we want to hear from you.

What makes you think someone is way richer than they look when you see them?
