The Not Always Right 2024 Mid-Year Retrospective: 24 Of Our Favorite Stories!

Roundups | Right | July 8, 2024

Dear readers

Once again we close out our review of the first half of 2024 by letting the editors have a go at picking their favorite stories of the year so far. Our editors have whittled down the list to the following twenty-four stories that we hope will remind you what a whirlwind year for NAR it’s already been!

This Story Is About Nothing At All – This kid misunderstood correctly!

A Story That Will Make You Ask “Why?” – We really wish this conversation could have continued… forever…

Don’t Dine And Dash And Leave A Calling Card – Ethically dubious? Yes. Satisfying? Absolutely yes.

Begging For More Managers Like This – We could watch customer entitlement bounce off of amazing managers all day.

Tipped To Be An A**hole, Part 3 – This story tips into a perfect karmic finish!

Wow, Misogynists And Homophobes Really DO Go Together! – To be fair, both require hateful little brains that can’t mind their own business.

You Know What They Say About Assuming; It Gets You Kicked Out! – Yes, one racist assumption does make you a racist!

Never Pick A Fight With An Old Scottish Woman, Part 4 – Would it be any kind of awesome story roundup without a fight with an old Scottish lady?

We’re Totally In Line With This Petty Revenge – The hero of this story must have read the previous one!

If Management Doesn’t Like This Solution, They Can “Lump” It – Warning! Dark humor. Hilariously effective dark humor…

But They Always Find The Signs That Give Them A Discount… – For every sign the customer claims doesn’t exist, increase your sass by a point!

Sweet “Tender” Karma – If you won’t be the change you won’t get the change.

Can They Haggle? No Or No?, Part 6 – A note to potential hagglers: if the other person isn’t haggling, it’s not haggling.

Those Blades From The Helicopter Parents Sure Do Blow Away Smoke! – Gee, we wonder what childhood trauma that guy must have got from his mother to make him cope with cigarettes?

Someone Is Getting Schooled – Seriously, by this point just click on the Managers With A Spine tag and just have a satisfying field day:

From The Bottom Of The Bottle To The Top Of The Heap – Sounds like typical corporate material to me!

Making Their Whining Shift Down A Register – This is how you give entitled customers absolutely nothing!

We’ll Add That To The List Of Things Black People Aren’t Allowed To Do – This shows that critical thinking, or any form of thinking, is beyond racists.

When You’re “Black” Listed – It’s sad that in 2024 people still talk like this.

Why We Need Biology Lessons At School – And men like this make laws about women’s bodies…

Her Reasoning Isn’t Very “Solid” – So… this woman just doesn’t eat?

We’re Sure She Will Grow Out Of It… – People who live in imaginary glass houses should not throw imaginary rocks.

An Express Apology – When the write-up was absolutely worth it.

Your Mansplaining Is Full Of Holes – We’d love to know the kind of music this could make!
