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.

Sensible employees are burdened by sensible choices. It's the compulsory reaction of the working class to choose an affordable option versus an expensive one, so when a traveling salesman is faced with a frugal travel choice and a lavish one, they're most likely to pick the cheaper option. However, because company policy isn't always so practical, sometimes the rule-following beancounters come after you for the most reasonable of choices.

Invisible disabilities, entitled people, and public transportation DO NOT MIX. Unless a disabled person is visibly crippled or maimed in some way, some folks simply don't believe that they're actually in need of special treatment. And nobody knows how to cause a scene over special treatment quite like a gaggle of Karens.

While planning a vacation for two , this woman had no idea her friend would suddenly expect her to foot the bill. That's not how travelling with friends works — everyone has to pay their own share, unless you plan on a different way to split the costs that everyone can agree on. Even many couples will divide the cost of travel among the two of them to ensure both people pitch in. After all, travel isn't cheap, once the costs of hotels, flights, car rentals, food, and more, are all added togethe…

While online shopping , you can't believe everything you see. Sometimes you have to read between the lines a little bit, and know when a deal is too good to be true.

People you work with will have certain expectations of you, and when given the opportunity, can cause a few inconveniences if and when you don't meet said expectations… in other words, people like to be petty. In this case, OP got as petty as petty can get, when she got a shot at making a former coworker's life a little harder than it needed to be. Back in the day, OP was working as a supervisor at a company, and her job included a lot of travel. There was a conference she needed to get to, so…

There are plenty of pros and cons to being a flight attendant. Let's begin with the pros, shall we? No management on the job, routes are pretty chill, and you have the freedom to explore new places on someone else's dime. Your schedule is pretty flexible. The travel benefits are pretty great, plus you get to meet a lot of new people. Now for the cons… you also meet a lot of demanding travelers who think they deserve to be worshipped. You work with new people, often. Days are long, layovers are…

To a seasoned traveler, flight comforts are sacred and everyone has their little rituals that help dull their mind enough to endure 8 hours of sitting in the same confined seat. Usually those rituals include a little bit of peace and quiet to reach a meditative state, but when you're sitting next to a drunken human toddler on a long flight, tensions are poised to fly high.

When employees attempt to navigate company budgets, usually they have to cut through an outrageous amount of red tape in order to get anything adjusted. Obviously, in the real world, budgeting is simplified with a little leeway, but when it comes to businessmen traveling on the company dime, if you're just a penny over budget, there will be heckity heckin' heck to pay.

Bureaucratic bean-counting threatens every employee's work-life balance, for none more than the traveling salesmen of the world. To be totally frank, there's always a disconnect between the bean-counters of a company and the footmen because financial decisions are made in an office whereas the salespeople are out there in the trenches. The man in the field can see a bit more clearly than the man on the sidelines...

It would take a lot for you to block your boss's phone number , but this woman had to do exactly that. Her boss just wouldn't leave her be as he tried his hardest to interrupt her vacation time . U/Pinkyrye shared her story to r/AmItheA**hole, and she provided several updates on her situation as well. Despite working at her security guard job for six years, her boss still gave her a hard time about taking five days of vacation time. Some places really are stingy with time off, paid or unpaid. I…

This employee was trying to arrange a trip as quickly as possible, only to be slowed down by another department. As if travel planning wasn't difficult enough, this person had to deal with their funding department trying to make everything cheaper. Some coworkers think they know better than everyone — to the point that they think they can do your job better than you. It's especially infuriating when the coworker has a different job than yours, but still thinks they know your specialty better th…

Family vacations are supposed to be fun for the whole family, not just a few members. But this mother wasn't too concerned about the feelings of the rest of her family, so long as she got a break for herself. Vacations are so great when you're a kid. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the trip! Your parents will take care of all the planning, booking, transportation, and meals, and you just get to run around the beach or an amusement park to your heart's content. This 23-year-old is reali…

Some people can't take anything seriously . We call these folks the kind you “can't take anywhere” — and honestly, they are usually really fun to be around. The folks below certainly had a blast playing around with statues. Most statues are there for a serious reason, highlighting a person who made great strides in their career field or added great value to the world through humanitarian efforts. They aren't just at museums. You can find statues all over the place , from parks to malls to libra…

Some companies seem to thrive on making their employee's work lives as petty as possible. This person can certainly attest to that with their place of work, which tried to make employees' lives harder, only for it to backfire spectacularly. Many companies demand loyalty without ever proving that they're worth being loyal to. Some places want you to recall the past, when folks could work for a company for their entire career and earn a pension. But they seem to forget that people were loyal beca…
