'I calmly explained that that was not possible or legal': Entitled rich guy forced to slum it with the 'peasants' after being caught completely unprepared in the tropics

Rich people think they can buy the whole world– and sometimes they can afford it –but society doesn't always work like that. Although many 1%ers have gotten used to flexing their wealth in order to take leaps and bounds, while getting exactly what they want at warp speed, occasionally they get burned by the harsh reality of the word ‘no’. To the delight of us regular folks out there, a rich person's fall from graces can be extremely entertaining.

'I'm here to party, not sleep': Traveller ends friendship after a girls trip gone wrong

Realizing you and a friend are growing apart can be difficult to process. That's why u/IndependentLady22 took some time to write down her concerns about her BFF, who she's realizing she may have to leave in her past. Six years is a long time to be friends with someone. You get to know everything about each other's lives, friends, relationships, family, and even work drama. You probably have tons of memories together as you grow over time. Some friendships last forever… but others are only meant…

'I followed the travel policy': Worker exploits company's travel policy loophole to book more expensive tickets and fly first class

Restrictive policies are often written with a singular use case in mind, with the authoring manager's short-sighted and horse-blinded perspective generally resulting in the policy not being as cost-saving as intended in the first place and leaving ample opportunity for loopholes and malicious compliance.

Sometimes humans can be bros. It's not very often that we meet genuinely amazing strangers out in public, but sometimes, in the most wholesome moments, our faith in humanity is restored. Usually we don't expect those moments when we're anywhere near our local airport, but apparently people can surprise us.

'This just became a very cramped situation': Airline passenger steals guy's plane seat, guy sits on top of him

Simple problems require simple solutions, and sometimes, that solution need not be any more complex than sitting on top of (or just beside) the problem. Some background knowledge for those unacquainted: the airline mentioned in the story does not have predetermined seats, and seats are determined like a massive game of musical chairs and are based on who can get to the seats first. Honestly, we have no idea who thought these free-for-alls were a good idea. It's crazy to think that something as…

'I just want what I was promised': Airline offers a passenger $700 to give up his seat then tries to dupe him into accepting 20,000 sky miles instead

Waiting around in the airport is a lot like getting stuck in purgatory. Time comes to a standstill, nobody makes eye contact with you, your body aches for no reason, and even if it's 7AM, someone's at the bar drinking a beer. And when you're waiting at your gate in your terminal, nothing matters except getting on your plane and heading to your destination– anything to get you out of this grey, timeless dump.

I don't know about you, but when I invite a friend or family member over, I don't sit down and tally up every dime they owe me when they leave. I mean, sure, if they go off on their own adventures or we split the dinner bill, that's all cool. But splitting the gas expenses for driving them around town? Is that even a thing? Well, that's exactly why this OP took to Reddit for some advice.

'You didn't want to reimburse my ticket': Travelling employee spends hundreds of euros on taxi rides after company refuses to pay him back for one train ticket

This company was so confused about why their employee started racking up big bills . They should've known… it was their own policies that made him do it. Travelling in taxis has become a tad outdated in these times of ride-hail services that utilize apps. There's a reason, though, that we've switched over. If you use an app to call a car, you pay before the ride starts, and then tip your driver at the end. Even if the driver takes a different route or sits in traffic, your cost still stays the…

Coworker Gloats About His Luxurious Airport Lounge Access, So His Colleagues Humble Him by Sharing the Wrong Gate Number; He Misses the Flight

Even the most experienced traveler gets stressed out about a lot of things at the airport: boarding times, your luggage's weight, TSA scanners, and the classic worry of going to the wrong gate for your flight. These are all things that most people check (and re-check) diligently, that is, of course, unless you're a little too loosey-goosey at the luxury airport lounge.

Throughout the course of the working week, you spend roughly 40 hours in the presence of your coworkers . This can be an incredible way to form tight bonds with other like-minded individuals. Throughout your adult life, it's more likely you'll make friends at work than from any other place, unsurprising given you're often spending more time with them than with your own family. But while you'll make some friends, it's more than likely that you'll be spending a lot of time with people who grind y…

'All four kids… agreed to not invite us to the baby shower': Stepparents cancel vacation plans for stepkids after paying for baby shower they weren't invited to

This family drama came to a boiling point after this stepmom finally said “no.” It's hard for parents to say no to what their kids want. After all, you want to give your precious children the world! Parents work so hard to put food on the table, keep their kids wearing nice clothes, drive them to sports practices, and more. Children have no idea how much effort their parents put into raising them, so they don't always say thank you. For most of us, though, we grow up and realize all the sacrifi…

They say that by the age of 40, you should have a vendetta against at least one vacation rental company. For some reason, travel always make people turn extra greedy and with all this cash floating around, sometimes hosts of vacation homes lose a sense of genuine hospitality. In this case, one vacationer had to take justice into his own hands when his vacation stay went down the drain– literally.
