Complaining about Karens and other «Can I speak to the manager» types is easy. At this point, it has almost become a cliche, with middle-aged women around the world being terrified of the Karen accusations. We all love to hate the Karens, but when they’re gone, we’ll miss them.

The holidays should be a happy time filled with lots of gratitude (and yummy food and presents, obviously). But the company you enjoy them with can change the entire vibe of the season. Sure, you can have the best turkey in town, but it’s hard to get in the holiday spirit if you’re sitting next …

Friends make BBQ dinner for 8 people but invite 12 over, expect 4 of them to consume the scraps after they’ve eaten: ‘It was awkward because we were actually starving’
The thing about making social plans is that they are always subject to change, especially if they involve a lot of people.

Freeloading daughter refuses to host family Thanksgiving despite other siblings taking their turn, while flips out when mom disinvites her: ‘I made it very clear she needed to stay true to her word’
Hosting duties are no easy ride, even when you’re doing them for the people closest to you. Cooking and keeping your loved ones happy seems like a simple enough brief on the face of it, but it is actually a lot to consider. By the same token, if it is a shared duty then it’s …

21-year-old hosts 18+ Halloween party after her cousin’s 6 and 9-year-old kids ruined the party last year, cousin calls her mean for excluding them: ‘It wasn’t fair to punish them for being kids’
Halloween is one of those holidays with events incredibly segregated by age. If you’re over 13, someone will yell at you for trick-or-treating. If you’re younger than 21, you won’t be allowed to enter a local bar’s Halloween costume contest, where the grand prize is a whopping three drink tickets. If you’re 19, you will …

Entitled friend ruins dinner party when she orders pizza instead of waiting for the host to finish cooking, everyone eats the pizza, resulting in a dispute: ‘Are you trying to one-up me?’
If you could choose between homemade and fresh pasta and a slice of ordinary pizza, what would you choose?

‘It’s not a money thing, but it’s the principle of it’: Non-drinker starts beef with host over oddly specific drink request
Hosting a party can be a barrel of fun. It can also be immensely stressful. You’re in charge of everyone else having a good time, which can be a lot of emotional weight to take on.
