Arrogant People Who Got Put In Their Place & Proved There’s Still Justice In The World

Monica August 23, 2022

Just Wait

Bus drivers can be some of the most arrogant people in the world. Not only do they never wait for their customers, but they drive chaotically and quickly. A lot of the time, it feels like you’re trying to hold on for dear life, especially when the bus is full.

This Reddit user shared their experience about a bus driver not waiting for them when they were only ten meters from the stop. The bus pulled away, and then a few seconds later, a DUI car crashed into the bus. That’s some instant karma. He probably wishes he waited now (via Reddit).

Take Him Down A Notch

Actors seem to believe they’re above the rest of us normal folk. Just because they’re famous, doesn’t mean they get to skip the lines at restaurants. Except they do, and it happens often. This hostess took David Copperfield down a notch when she told him to make a table appear.

Even though she didn’t know it was him at first, she still put him in his place. He had to wait 90 minutes just like the rest of us. Also, whether you’re famous or not, you’re still a human being and the same rules apply to you, whether you like it or not (via Constative).

Game Changer

High school is tough enough as it is. When people bully you, it makes it even harder. We hope those bullies end up paying for what they did in high school. These bullies certainly did. This Internet user took back all of her power at her high school reunion when she had a glow-up.

Not only did she come back hot and dressed in a little red dress, but the girl that used to make fun of her let her looks go south. Better yet, she completely surprised her so much so, that she fell backward into someone using the toilet. Those arrogant people deserve every bit of payback they receive (via Constative).

The Match

This daughter never gave her mom the credit she deserves. She worked out for a few weeks and then assumed she’d be stronger than most people around her. That’s not how it works. Building strength and endurance take a lot of time. It doesn’t happen overnight.

She learned this when she arm wrestled her 54-year-old disabled mother and was instantly defeated. How embarrassing! Good for the mother, though, who was able to prove her strength to her daughter. Hopefully, she turned out to be one of those arrogant people who learned her lesson (via Constative).

Turned Red

Arrogant people always seem to take their anger out on others who they deem to be weaker. It’s not fair. But when those “weaker” people get their revenge, it feels so good. More than good. This internet user shared about a time their boss cursed her out when the equipment wasn’t working even though it wasn’t her fault.

Instead of arguing back, she stood up, walked over to the equipment, and plugged it in. That’s all it took. This all happened in front of their clients, too. How embarrassing. Maybe next time he’ll take a deep breath before making sudden assumptions (via Constative).

Answer To Her

This internet user shares an experience with a vicious woman who thought she didn’t have to give her any attention. This woman treated her as if she were below her. No one ever deserves that kind of treatment.

But, the woman got a slap in the face when she realized the person she was supposed to be asking questions to was the woman she was ignoring. When she approached the man, who she gave tons of attention to, he told her to direct her questions to this internet user. Now, she has to lean on her for questions. This woman needs to learn to treat everyone the same way (via Constative).

Soul Crushing Rejection

Hitting on women and bragging about it is forgivable when you’re 16, not as a developed man in his 20s or 30s. This guy needs to relearn manners because he turned into an arrogant person who assumed that every woman wants to go out with him. How wrong he was! At least this woman found a bit of humor in the rejection. He didn’t, though.

He was mortified and surprised that someone dared to reject him. This just goes to show how much he needs a reality check. He’s not a hot shot every woman is pining over. We’re not sure what kind of women he’s been dating, but it’s certainly not the kind that he assumes want him (via Constative).

It Was Unplugged

We’re seeing another example of a time when an arrogant person thought the equipment wasn’t working when it was just not plugged in. These people certainly have short tempers, and they need to do something about their anger issues because they’re taking it all out on their employees. Sometimes, the simplest solution is the actual solution. This guy didn’t even think to check and see if his electronics were plugged in, and even got all riled up that it was suggested that he check it.

At least he was one of those arrogant people that got what he deserved, true and utter embarrassment. Unfortunately, he probably didn’t apologize to his employee, and instead walked away completely embarrassed (via Constative).

Nasty Comment

There are some things we keep to ourselves. Mean comments to other people are one of them. The person driving the car shouted, “why don’t you learn how to ride that bike instead of carrying it,” without knowing why the bike was broken in the first place. It’s a pretty mean move. Luckily, he got what he deserved.

Because he wasn’t paying attention, he ended up rear-ending the car directly in front of him. Next time, he should focus more on the road than on weaker people walking on the sidewalk next to him (via Reddit).

Never Assume

For some reason, it seems like this guy has nothing better to do except go around and try to tell people about how horrible their dog is. It’s a bad way to pick up women, who don’t want to have anything to do with him. Not only that, but it’s obvious he doesn’t know anything about dogs because if he did, he wouldn’t assume this woman’s dog is a horrible pet.

She told him who’s boss by calmly explaining how well trained her dog is, and that he doesn’t chew up any toys. Maybe his tactics worked with someone else, but they certainly didn’t work with her (via Constative).

What A Switch

This Reddit user’s friend thought he was better than his friend after he met a prostitute. He had money, a car, and a woman. That’s better than keeping a good friend around.

He was one of those arrogant people who deserved to learn his lesson the hard way, and that’s exactly what happened. Without fail, the guy eventually lost his job, and his money, and was planning to marry the prostitute. He also fell into a horrible drug trap. None of that sounds pleasant, and it seems like it’s a good thing this guy lost his friend because he doesn’t seem like someone to keep around (via Reddit).

Astronaughties

Those “Astronaughties” are not people you want to mess with. Not only are they extremely intelligent, but they’ll easily beat you at a game of trivia. The point of trivia is to relax and hang out with friends, not get all riled up about losing.

This guy who’s cursing doesn’t even stand a chance. He’s up against some of the smartest people in the world. It looks like he’s one of those arrogant people who’s missing the point about trivia, and instead resorts to anger and frustration to make himself feel better (via Constative).

Kicking The Ball In Rage

At least this Reddit user was one of those arrogant people that admitted to their arrogance. They seem like they recognize they deserved the punishment. In an angry rage, they kicked the basketball a bit too roughly, probably because they were losing. There’s never any reason to kick a basketball with such anger, but it happened.

They quickly learned their lesson, though, like many other people on this list. The basketball came straight back down and onto their head. That’s certainly one way to learn (via Reddit).

All That Privilege

Again, we’re seeing another instance when rich and famous people think they’re entitled. Not only did they “forget” to pay their tab, but they then proceeded to claim that they owned the bar. Luckily, this waitress stood her ground and told them her family owned the bar, they had to pay their tab, and that their tab privileges were revoked.

It’s the best response she could’ve given. It’s a shame they still threw a tantrum, considering it’s a local business they’re supporting, and they already have tons of money. If you’re going to go to a bar and spend that kind of money, you shouldn’t complain about having to pay for it. It’s ridiculous (via Constative).

Power Player Women

One of the greatest lessons from all the stories on this list is to not be one of those arrogant people who get too cocky before they know who they’re talking to. DC is full of arrogant men who patronize gray-haired women. They suddenly realize they’re up against a power player, and then suddenly back down. It’s a shame, though, that they even do it in the first place.

One time is enough and should teach them a lesson. Again, people need to treat each other equally and with the same respect all around. It’s sad these men walk around with their heads held high, treating others as lesser than them (via Constative).

Over-Scheduled American Kid

Some parents want what’s best for their children, which can sometimes be too much. They’re kids, after all, not adults working a 9-5 with a side hustle in between. It’s ridiculous that these children don’t have time to be children. They’re going to grow up already burnt out from years of over-scheduling. It seems like Tim, the parent of the over-scheduled child, is overworked himself.

He’s one of those arrogant people that walk around thinking he’s doing the world well, meanwhile, he’s harming the lives of his child and making himself look like a fool. On a voice conference call, he ended up falling asleep because he was so tired. It looks like he’s the one that needs to stop working so much. There’s nothing wrong with taking time for yourself it’s a sign of strength (via Constative).

Trying Too Hard

Bullies always have something to prove. For some reason, they think they’re bigger, stronger, and smarter than everyone around them. It’s a common pattern we see time and time again. These bullies need to relax and realize that they’re the same as everyone else and that everyone has different skills and hobbies they’re better at. No one deserves to be bullied.

This arrogant person tried to challenge a girl who was smaller than them to a bench pressing competition. He told her she was trying too hard, but meanwhile, he was the one that was trying too hard. She beat him in the competition. Little did he know, she went to the weight room every morning. He messed with the wrong girl (via Constative).

Know When To Back Down

It takes a lot of courage to back down from a fight. At first, it can seem like a good idea, but it’s usually not. Backing down saves a lot of physical and mental damage. This arrogant person learned his lesson when he backed down from a fight. At first, he thought it’d be two guys arguing, but it quickly went south when he realized the guy wanted to physically fight.

Since he wasn’t up for it, he decided to take a deep breath and back down. He prevented a massive fight from happening, and probably even saved himself from getting a black eye or two. He’s one of the smarter arrogant people on this list and didn’t have to learn his lesson the hard way (via Constative).

Abstained From Voting

When this junior ran for VP, she was up against no one, which meant she would automatically win. But because she ran her mouth and put other people down, the students had to act fast. In the end, they collectively made her lose by abstaining from voting.

They’d rather not have a VP than have her. Even though that’s a harsh way to lose, it hopefully made her realize her bad behavior and how it affects other people. It’s quite humiliating to lose to no one too, especially when it’s because no one wanted you to win (via Constative).

Goodbye Pat

Pat was one of those arrogant people who thinks he was better than everyone in the entire school. Just because he’s an all-star athlete, it doesn’t mean he can treat other people as below him. His lessons were coming, whether he wanted them to or not. It’s wonderful that the kid with disabilities was the one who beat Pat to an arm wrestling match. Without fail, this kid showed him who’s boss.

It’s apparent you don’t need to be an all-star athlete to be good at arm wrestling. Better yet, the kid let Pat use the tool anyway. He’s the bigger person at the end of this story, and hopefully Pat learned a lesson or two about treating people with kindness (via Constative).

How Dare He

We can’t believe people like this exist. This guy is one of those arrogant people who think the world owes him something, and that he’s better than everyone else. He’s irritating and extremely rude. It almost seems like a made-up story. Why would one of your friends try and steal your girlfriend in front of your face?

At least he was quickly put in his place when the girlfriend spent five minutes telling him off. You have to be a certain type of person to think you can do this to someone, and we’re not talking about the good kind (via Constative).

Becoming Humble

We tend to think we’re better at something than we are, at least in the beginning. This new father became one of those arrogant people who thought he could run around and brag about how good of a dad he is. Because he thought he was a hot shot, he offered to change the baby’s diaper.

In a matter of seconds, the baby managed to humble him by peeing on his face and pooping all over his hands. That sounds extremely unpleasant and is certainly one way to learn your lesson. At least this dad took this lesson and felt grateful for it. He still has a lot to learn, but at least he’s on the right track (via Constative).

Thanks For The Chuckle

This guy must have a lot more going on than meets the eye. He’s hiding it with his arrogance. Since he seems like a sore loser, it’s probably a good thing he switched shifts and was eventually fired.

Honestly, we probably would’ve chuckled too if the arrogant person we won to was also fired, but it’s always better to take the high road and have compassion no matter what. Karma always does its job (via Constative).

High Ego

It’s sad to hear that people feel guilty when they get something right. It all stems from a lack of self-confidence and limiting beliefs that people that are more popular and faster at math should get the correct answers. We’re all great at some things and horrible at others, and oftentimes, it takes us longer to accomplish something than others.

That’s what makes people so special, their uniqueness. These confidence people could be taken down a notch or two, and should even praise this guy for answering difficult math questions correctly (via Constative).

Space Invading Cow

Some people don’t have any spatial awareness, including this woman. She thinks that just because she’s on the train, she can stick her knees and elbows anywhere she wants. No one wants to touch the stranger next to them, so we can understand how this Reddit user was feeling.

She’s one of those arrogant people that think she deserves all of the extra leg room that’s available. Fortunately, she received instant karma when the ticket guy came around and found out she was trying to ride the train without a ticket. As a space-invading cow, that’s exactly what she deserves (via Reddit).

You Don’t Belong Here

When we start a new job, we sometimes feel like we have to accentuate every move and act the part. There are tons of people to impress, after all, and we need to quickly become one of the most likable people on the job. That’s how promotions work.

When this new guy showed up at the office, he acted like he knew everything and tried to impress everyone around him. It didn’t end up well for him, because when he finished his presentation, one of the people in upper management told him “you’re an actor, you don’t belong here.” Harsh. He deserved it, though, and hopefully, that comment humbled him (via Constative).
