'Let me remind you of the advice you gave me': Top-selling employee gets even with boss

'Let me remind you of the advice you gave me': Top-selling employee throws boss's cold-hearted advice back in his face

I bet this boss really regrets how he treated his employees now that they have some power over him. It doesn't take much to lose someone's faith in you, which this guy realized way too late. During the dark times of 2020, there was possibly no field worse to be in than the travel field. If you're a travel agent , planning and booking vacations for people is your whole career, so when travel suddenly came to a screeching halt, the industry was sunk. If you were in the travel industry at that poi…

'Karen thinks that she is more important than the other 400 people': Woman reports train attendant who wouldn't give her coffee fast enough

They say you should choose your battles in life, but some people love to fight every single battle that comes their way. Maybe it's just the way they were raised, being taught that confrontation will always get you your way. But in reality, treating every minor issue like a huge deal just makes everyone around you roll their eyes.

Update: 'I told her she is not going anywhere': Uncooperative traveler refuses to end trip early, then demands to be taken to Hawaii

These vacations to Italy and Hawaii sound incredible, so it's a shame it didn't work out as the vacationers planned. Traveling with your friends always seems like a good idea until it's actually time to go. You really find out who people are when they're under stress, and if you've ever traveled at all, you know that things never go completely as planned. Vacationing, as relaxing as it is, involves a lot of moving parts and planning things in advance. Depending on what you do, the planner has t…

'We got here first, so we got dibs': Woman kicks entitled friend out of Airbnb for demanding nice bedroom

'We got here first, so we got dibs': Woman kicks entitled friend out of Airbnb for demanding nice bedroom

This friend really believes in calling dibs, also known as the rule of the land in most situations. If you run to the car faster than anyone else, you get dibs on where you sit, or if you call dibs first on movie night, you get to pick the film. But this friend is calling dibs on something else entirely — the room she's choosing to sleep in during a vacation with her friends . U/yayabanana17 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to settle an argument. As she explained, the group was planning to travel with…

'Demanding rent in a fight made me the villain': Daughter cuts up credit card after mother continually reminds her of rent payments

A mom is sure she's teaching her daughter the right way to budget money, but her husband and daughter disagree. You have plenty of duties as a parent, and teaching your kids financial literacy is certainly really important to a parent of a young adult, like this OP, whose account has since been deleted. The mom who wrote in to r/AmItheA**hole says that her 24-year-old daughter now needs to pay rent after leaving college . Even though she's only been in a job for a few months, her mom is quite i…

What do you miss most from the days before the internet's glowing screens took up all our time? It turns out that lots of people have things they're nostalgic for!

A pair of travelers are certainly not going to be friends anymore after this disastrous ending to their trip . Some posts on r/AmItheA**hole require a lot of nuance, but in this story shared by u/Spare-Possibility750, commenters nearly unanimously said the OP was a huge jerk.

'The look on her face was priceless': Entitled mom faces off with teenager in dispute over metro seat

Traveling exposes you to all sorts of people, whether you want to be in their presence or not. The teen in this story is clearly used to dealing with entitled people, and the way he put this Karen in her place will surely resonate with that woman for a long time to come. “I saw this today and I can't stop laughing,” shared u/WhatTheH*ll431 to r/entitledparents.

Woman wasn't expecting she would be having a riding buddy

'Can you believe this woman?': Couple confronts Karen bus passenger who cuts them in line

No bus trip would be complete without someone have a conversation extra loudly on their cell phone. Bonus points if it's on speaker, which is the way the woman in this story chose to chat with her grandson. Bus journeys can be really great — you can gaze out the window at the scenery, listen to music, or take a nap while you travel to your destination. That's if all goes well, and let's face it, usually there's at least a few passengers who can't get along . On the r/MaliciousCompliance subredd…

'This makes zero sense': Woman's plane travel luggage hack baffles her family

I thought I'd heard every travel hack , until I read this one, that is. I can truly say I've never thought about treating my luggage the way this woman plans to. Airports are quite strict with their luggage requirements. If you don't look it up before you go, you'll be stuck with a suitcase that's too big or too heavy, meaning you'll have to cough up some cash to fly your precious belongings along with you. And heaven forbid you have liquids that are more than 3.4 ounces, or have a carry on tha…
