'The original offer was starting at $4000 and up to $5000 per month': Candidate advances to final round of interviews when HR makes a "slight change" to the salary

You're comfortable with the offer from the job posting and you seem to like all of the people at the company with whom you have spoken thus far. Then, all of a sudden, they pull a bait-and-switch on you. Just before your final interview, you receive an…

'She will straight up ignore you': New sister in law gets called out for avoiding everyone in group setting

This person is baffled by her SIL's decision to attend family events— and then refuse to say a word to anyone. Maybe there's at least one person like this in every family. Sometimes there are underlying reasons why people aren't talkative at the function. If you go to a party and one person just won't chat with anyone, they tend to get ignored. If that's what they want, that's what they'll get. This person wasn't about to ignore the non-speaker at this family party, though. It seems like this w…

'Now they’re asking me to pay even more': Seller insists a customer "support" them with extra shipping money

One shopper is confused and suspicious after an odd encounter with the person who sold them a gift. It seems like ordering online has become such a gamble.

Some people will order a blanket or some clothing from another country , only to find that it get stuck at a border somewhere for months. This is especially irritating if you're…

HOA Karen tries to get neighbor to take down "cheap" and "sloppy" lights: 'Please don't take this personally'

Having an HOA board member as your next-door neighbor can definitely make you feel like you're constantly being watched.

'Sorry, you can't just park your RV here': Demanding landlord informs tenant he's going to park RV in his backyard, doesn't take ‘no’ for an answer

'Sorry, you can't just park your RV here': Demanding landlord informs tenant he's going to park RV in his backyard, doesn't take ‘no’ for an answer

Property owners, also known as landlords, can be quite annoying to deal with if they ignore basic lease rules and go with the flow of whatever their heart desires. For example, this dude explained how his demanding landlord texted him, promptly informing him that 'next week, we'll come to park the RV on your property'. Um, come again? So the dude quickly wrote back, 'No', which led to a conversation that made no sense. Why do landlords think they can just do whatever they want? The tenant pays…

Update: 'I do 5 times the work she does': Sales worker frustrated with job after their incapable coworker gets the same bonus

This person was in a frustrating work environment , and they decided to take the internet's advice on how to handle it. Working at a small business has its perks and drawbacks.

That doesn't necessarily mean you'll enjoy working with them, though, as this person, u/AssignmentFit461, found out first-hand. Since starting their new remote wo…

‘He wanted me to make him a sandwich 3 hours after closing time’: Servers Share Most Entertaining Celebrity Customer Stories

Servers wait on people from all walks of life, and that includes celebrities. In this thread, they shared the good, the bad, and the ugly. Back when I was a waitress, I didn't meet a single famous person. I guess the diner I worked at wasn't exactly in high demand, and it was also in a pretty rural area, so I doubt most people have heard of it. There was this one time when I thought I had waited on Paul Rudd, but nope, it turned out it was just a look-alike. To be honest, I wish I had him as a…

'Take notes the old fashioned way': Teacher refuses to let student bring loud laptop to class, so he brings a typewriter instead

Teachers should use careful wording when instructing their students. This is especially true when it comes to enforcing rules and regulations because simply put, kids don't like restrictions and sometimes, they're right. Sometimes, they can be ridiculous. No texting during class? Fine. Limited bathroom breaks? Come on! You're just asking for people to dislike you. This student was told that their laptop was too noisy and that he would have to take notes the “old fashioned way.” Obviously, in hi…
