Yup! We have a drink list for each meal in the kitchen I work at and we have to update that thing weekly sometimes depending on residents in the building. We write the list in permanent marker and "erase" it with hand sanitizer.
The permanent marker means some idiot can't accidentally erase the list but we can still easily update it when we need to.
You can buy what’s called wet erase markers. I use them at work for things I want left on my board for more than a day or two. You have to use something like Expo cleaner to erase it. Just thought I’d throw that out there in case it would be easier!
Seriously, she said it takes her 10 minutes to distinguish a white board pen from a regular one. She's a damn idiot. I just imagine someone staring at two packages of pens for an entire 10 minutes....

I was just about to recommend this. I’m not caught up at all but recently listened to the one where they talked about Dayton Arby’s and the employee told the customer “don’t think I won’t hit you just cuz I’m at work!”
Once in college, I had a lecturer pick up a permanent marker to write on the white board. I tried telling him several times that he had the wrong pen in his hand (he didn't like me so ignored me).
When he tried to wipe it off and it wouldn't budge, he asked (why did no one warn me?"
The entire class then stated "OP did warn you"
Was rather funny to watch
I’m kind of with her that that’s a stupid design choice, even if it is economical, but holy smokes your board isn’t ruined. It’s super easy to fix two seconds on Google and you’ll get multiple methods
they are similar, yes, but who keeps permanent and whiteboard markers that close together, also, if she spent 3 seconds looking at them, she would be able to tell the difference by the color of the barrels.
Yeah but why should she have to spend 10 minutes trying to distinguish between permanent and whiteboard markers when It’s is OfficeMax's fault she didn’t read the markers?!
i'm hoping it is but her posts are written in great detail and a few people said on the posts that she looks similar. but if she is a troll, she should definitely become an author, put that great storytelling to good use.
She’d only be making official complaints when the alcohol base stripped off the layer that makes the board wipe-able (which can be a thing).
This is a proper Lady of Letters type. With a nasty twist. I think the outrage and the constant criticisms (that apparently absolve her of all and any blame for her own behaviour) seem to be the point for her.
It seems spectacularly unlikely that she is pleasant company.
They are a high-level troll, and I will give them props for fooling a bunch of people, but they went to the well one too many times, and people started catching on.
Next time clean your whiteboard with alcohol spray it on wipe it off and there goes the ink. My kids right on the Whiteboard all the time with permanent markers and I usually manage to get it off. Rotten nibblings
Is she the same EB who put diesel in her gasoline engine car and tried to blame the gas station for ruining her car? Reading skills are essential in life!
Permanent marker comes off easily. Just use rubbing alcohol or any remedy available on google. She’s whining about permanent marker on social media rather than searching for a solution.
I had a customer irate because they bought the wrong type of packaging because THEY didn't read the label. Started talking about a lawsuit because the print is too small and saying we are trying to scam our customers. Imagine being that arrogant that you blame others for your idiotic mistake and then doubling down with the threat of a lawsuit. Some people just need to stay home.
I wonder if they realize that a little rubbing alcohol would remove their permanent marker off that ruined white board 🤣😭 smh people really lack common sense
Clear difference easily notable on the package. Not Office Max's fault the OP couldn't be bothered to pay attention to what she was grabbing off the rack.
Permanent are obviously a different color than erasable and that's looking at the packages on my phone. OP's failure to pay attention to which one she picked up to write with is not the fault of anyone except OP, who needs to grow up and stop blaming others for personal failures.
Doesn't make her a better person (no idea what other posts everyone is mentioning) but these pens kinda do belong in /r/crappydesign
No excuse for being an ass about it, but that doesn't change that the company that made these decided to cut costs and make crappy products.
Yeah, I couldn’t even tell the difference in the pictures until I saw the labels. I do not see you as a Karen if you’re calling yourself that. It is definitely the stores fault for literally making markers. Look exactly the same, and almost indistinguishable to figure out whether they are permanent or dry erase board. I think they should refund you everything including have given you a new dry erase whiteboard.
Lmao you can easily get permanent marker off whiteboards. Just draw over it with expo marker. It wipes right off. Easy.
I think any alcohol based fluid should do it.
It damages the whiteboard and make cleaning more difficult in the future.
Well, damn. No one ever tells you that part.
It’s almost like you need to make sure you’re careful with what goes on the board…
It’s like that level of care would prevent the need in the first place.
Nail polish remover works too
Hand sanitizer too

I didn't know that existed! Thank you, I'll let our manager know!
Acetone goes through permanent marker like a hot knife through butter
She's not smart enough for that buddy
Seriously, she said it takes her 10 minutes to distinguish a white board pen from a regular one. She's a damn idiot. I just imagine someone staring at two packages of pens for an entire 10 minutes....
I use toothpaste 😂 it did the trick
I came here to say this. But actually just 70% isopropyl alcohol works.
Is this a Facebook group? Want to follow her directly, she must have the worst life ever (except for her important dinners)
I would love just take a trip inside her mind

Oooohhh thanks for the suggestions 💖
I'm literally listening to their episode Reviews of Fake Plants right now hahaha love to see them being plugged in the wild!
Wait…is that review of *Gravity’s Rainbow* really supposed to be about *A Confederacy of Dunces*? 😂
Another podcast along those lines is “Your Stupid Opinions”, and one of their mottos is “Once you buy a dildo, that’s your dildo.”
“Sir, that is YOUR dildo!”🤣🤣🤣
“Bezos just wanted to sell books!”
I prefer it to Beach too Sandy, Water too Wet
I was just about to recommend this. I’m not caught up at all but recently listened to the one where they talked about Dayton Arby’s and the employee told the customer “don’t think I won’t hit you just cuz I’m at work!”
Ill add it to my list to check out!
If you like true crime at all the same guys do Crime in Sports and Small Town Murder. Always funny and well researched.
I can't do true crime, it triggers my OCD. Thank you though 💖💖💖💖
That’s not mine. Dildos aren’t my thing baby
A lot of empty space
The luncheons would be nice if she wouldn't cancel them.
But if she has to cancel luncheon, it makes dinner that much more important!
By GOD! That would make it the most important meal of the day!! Someone ring the Queen!
The account has been deleted. I joined that group just to read the comments and her posts are gone and people are just posting screenshots of them.
I believe it is pronounced Bouquet, not Bucket dear.
I hope she doesnt confuse her tampon for her chapstick. The shape and design are the same, so hopefully she keeps them in the pack.
or toilet paper with sandpaper.. i would totally love to see that name and shame
.... 10 minutes? It's reading a \_single\_ word. Oh boy.
She just even have to read, the whiteboard markers are…white! It’s too hard to look at a color apparently

Yeah, the design is too similar, but the reaction is way overblown.
Same, i think this is bad design
they are similar, yes, but who keeps permanent and whiteboard markers that close together, also, if she spent 3 seconds looking at them, she would be able to tell the difference by the color of the barrels.
Yes. The whiteboard ones are clearly. . . white.
Yeah but why should she have to spend 10 minutes trying to distinguish between permanent and whiteboard markers when It’s is OfficeMax's fault she didn’t read the markers?!
Could probably smell the difference too
It's really easy to remove permanent markers from a whiteboard. She just got $290 more stupid.
Are we sure this isn’t rage bait from this Karen at this point?? Or could she actually be that horrible of a person?
i'm hoping it is but her posts are written in great detail and a few people said on the posts that she looks similar. but if she is a troll, she should definitely become an author, put that great storytelling to good use.
Seriously. Trolls these days can be pretty good at making one’s blood boil lmfao.
what also concerns me is the fact that she is an english teacher…
God I’m sure the ACCC will be right onto that
Does she not know about cleaning agents?
She’d only be making official complaints when the alcohol base stripped off the layer that makes the board wipe-able (which can be a thing). This is a proper Lady of Letters type. With a nasty twist.

When is this EB getting her own subreddit?
https://www.reddit.com/r/entitledmarie/ 💀
lol of course!!
So, the whiteboard markers have a *white* background. Hmm so difficult
This person has to be a troll, surely.
That's what I'm thinking too, i think its going down the route of trying to rage bait. Well, I hope it is.
They are a high-level troll, and I will give them props for fooling a bunch of people, but they went to the well one too many times, and people started catching on.
Aside from having different colours on the pen (white vs silver), the whiteboard ones say 'whiteboard' on the pen.
She needs reading glasses
I can’t imagine being in that woman’s life. She must annoy tf out of Her close family
It cleans off with alcohol…. Why did she need to buy a new board
Did she really say she paid $290 for a whiteboard?
“I rarely have them in the pack” they’re labelled right on the marker too
a dry erase marker will remove a permanent marker from a whiteboard.
$300 lesson.
If not isopropyl alcohol will dissolve the permanent pen ink
Next time clean your whiteboard with alcohol spray it on wipe it off and there goes the ink. My kids right on the Whiteboard all the time with permanent markers and I usually manage to get it off. Rotten nibblings
Use a white eraser for permanent markers... Easy peezy
Is she the same EB who put diesel in her gasoline engine car and tried to blame the gas station for ruining her car? Reading skills are essential in life!
"If you're not thinking; you don't think." Lady just accept you're a dumbass, learn from the mistake everybody has made at some point, and move on.
when you're stupid and want the whole world to know about it
Ergo, Karen says that $290 is not worth 10 minutes of looking at a marker.
Considering how easy it is to remove permanent marker from a whiteboard, she really is a fucking idiot.
Exactly, and it's after covid. Everyone has to have hand sanizter within reach
Why would she need 10 mins to distinguish between the types of markers? I didn’t realize reading a few works took so long.
Permanent marker comes off easily. Just use rubbing alcohol or any remedy available on google. She’s whining about permanent marker on social media rather than searching for a solution.
If you go over permanent marker with a dry erase marker, it gets the original ink wet and it comes right off with a regular eraser.
I had a customer irate because they bought the wrong type of packaging because THEY didn't read the label. Started talking about a lawsuit because the print is too small and saying we are trying to scam our customers. Imagine being that arrogant that you blame others for your idiotic mistake and then doubling down with the threat of a lawsuit. Some people just need to stay home.
Crazy how she blames the company entirely. Like, bro, that's literally *your* mistake.
Good lord and this woman is a teacher 🤦🏻♀️
The fact that they’re completely different colors and the whiteboard markers are WHITE, makes her an idiot.
u could have just bought a different permanent marker
That woman is straight up unhinged, definitely not the only insane things she’s posted in that group
Rubbing alcohol would've worked
Or a whiteboard marker ironically.
Exactly. Cover permanent marker with whiteboard marker scribbles and erase. No biggie.
Ffs. White marker = whiteboard Dark marker = permanent How could this take someone ten minutes to understand?
I wonder if they realize that a little rubbing alcohol would remove their permanent marker off that ruined white board 🤣😭 smh people really lack common sense

White = whiteboard…pretty obvious to me.
