Going out with a large group of friends is great fun until the bill comes along and you all have to decide how to pay in a way that will please everyone. There is always one person who can't be bothered with doing the math and just wants to split the bill evenly between everyone, and another who didn't even eat anything and thinks it's unfair that they have to pay the same amount as everyone else. That is why I recommend electing a designated calculating friend who is fine with doing all the ma…

This tenant and her husband had lived peacefully in their apartment for over two years, never causing trouble, paying rent on time, and dealing with their landlords' agonizingly slow repair schedule without complaint. But one early morning, the tenant was woken by a call from her 75-year-old "Mom-Landlord," screaming at her for parking on the grass. But just a few days earlier, the "Son-Landlord" had told them they could park on the grass while the parking lot was being repaved. But logic didn'…

"He's also a landlord for another property and knows that you need to keep heat on at least 60 to be legal and up to code."

Accidentally accepting a fake bill is one of the most annoying things that can happen to someone who handles money as part of their job. No one wants to deal with the aftermath of finding out there are fake bills in the register, where the best case scenario is that the money will be deducted from your pay, and the worst case is immediate termination. The latter has happened to the employee in this Reddit story, and we can definitely understand their frustration in this situation. OP (original…

Most people would not be helping out their neighbors if they came to ask for something. We've all found ourselves in need of something that we didn't have and had no way of getting and ended up having to knock on someone's door and ask for their help. So whether it's asking for a glass of milk, an egg, or even a ladder, we've all landed a helping hand at some point or another. However, some requests are going a bit too far, which might lead us to say ‘no’ to people when they come knocking at ou…

You know how some people will pay off big fines with massive bags of pennies? This is in a similar vein… except 10x crazier. When people get involved in court battles , it can quickly become petty and contentious. The two parties are in court because they're trying to litigate an issue, and it's going to cost one of them a lot of money in the end. What the court rules is what you have to do, whether you like it or not, and even if you appeal the verdict, you may still have to pay that big fine…

Revenge is a dish best served at full price.

Sometimes the only response to a person's pettiness is to match their energy.

Don't order food at the restaurant that you don't intend to pay for…

When you're left high and dry, locked out of your car, you might not want to make demands on an overworked technician. One person stormed into a technician's shop, demanding they help him unlock the car that he had managed to lock himself out of. The technician was more than just a little annoyed because A. the customer had a demanding tone about him and B. it was almost closing time, so why should he help? Plus, the dude was with his girlfriend, who had a car, so it wasn't the end of the world…

Imagine you're waiting tables, scurrying around with hot plates, forcing a smile every time someone asks for some extra sauce. ‘Of course’, you say, and run to go get some… for the fifth time that night, for that table. Finally, a glimmer of relief, table 12 wants to pay. They'd been relatively great, smiled politely, said ‘please’, and hadn't bothered you. You'd even had good banter with them, so you expect they'll tip well. No luck, they don't even leave a tip… and their bill is just about $2…

As someone who has worked a lot in customer service, I can assure you that I have never seen a coworker react badly to a customer yelling, ‘You just lost a customer!’. Because the honest truth is, we just didn't care. I can promise you it's quite universal, as anyone working a minimum wage job just isn't getting paid enough to care. One man entered a restaurant to have a nice meal with his wife. At first, all was going well. They got their food, ate it up, talked, whatever. Then he asked for th…

To make matters even worse, the woman already pays $500 more in rent and fully covers the cost of Wi-Fi for the two. However, her entitled roommate still asked for more money, saying that the original poster (OP) deserves to pay more because the OP makes more money than her.

If you're having trouble with your roommate, you are not alone. I can count on one hand the number of roommates I ever got along with… And I've lived with quite a lot. Some of them were great friends who turned into enemies after we moved in together, and others were strangers who became best friends. Weird, but that's life. This person (OP) was furious when their roommate demanded they pay an extra $50 in utilities after using the microwave 3 times and ‘leaving the kitchen light on’. OP refuse…

Surviving a terrible landlord at one point in your adult life feels like securing a badge of honor. Sure, everyone has to deal with the usual landlord issues, whether that's an inexplicable rent increase or a refusal to fix an appliance, but there comes a time when your landlord goes too far and you need to stand up for yourself. These landlord horror stories were compiled from the following r/AskReddit thread, and it just goes to show that even if you're a good landlord, stories like this are…

Financial parasites can hunt for prey in a lot of ways, but the easiest targets are always the ones with generous spirits and a bleeding heart. While not everyone is wary of their romantic suitors in this department (especially if you're not particularly wealthy), disillusion doesn't mean that you're safe from a parasitic girlfriend or boyfriend.
