When Karens put negative energy out into the universe, they are bound to get that same energy in return. Here, we have a Karen who purposely disregarded her son-in-law's dietary issues and served a Christmas dinner with nothing for him to eat. He never forgot that feeling and it wasn't until a decade later when he finally got some payback. Sure, it's polite for a guest to eat what is served to them, but in this instance, these were known health issues that the Redditor made sure his monster-in-…

There's always a surprise that comes when learning about the contents of someone's will. It's honestly a way to stay entertaining and iconic beyond the grave, so if you've started thinking about it, it's definitely worth getting creative. These lawyers shared the craziest wills they came across throughout their careers and posted them on this r/AskReddit thread.

Buckle up because this is a long one. This entire family, no doubt, has gone through some hard times. And the OP gives us the full background in the story he posted to Reddit below. So fast-forwarding to the present day, our OP finally saved up enough money to buy a house so he didn't have to live in a camper anymore. He couldn't be more ecstatic. He jumped on over to Facebook to share the good news with his friends. This is where the story takes a turn.

Dealing with your parents' technological challenges is one of the unfortunate realities of being a young person in 2023. Despite having typed and printed out a profoundly specific step-by-step list of how to use the television and various streaming services (including passwords for everything), I still receive calls from my parents at all hours of the evening with incessant questions. Of course, I answer because they're my parents and it's the least I can do. That being said, you would think th…

Anytime a wedding includes a blending of cultures, there are bound to be feathers that get rustled the wrong way. We all would hope that our family members could be cool enough to just back off and not over-step in the wedding planning, but we all know how family matters go– someone's going to take things too far.

If your partner doesn't like your parents, they might not tell you at first, but there will be signs. When you start dating your boyfriend or girlfriend , you're usually so head over heels in love with them that you can't wait to meet their friends and family. After months of getting to know this new special person in your life, you're ready to go to Thanksgiving dinner or a Sunday brunch to get to know their family. Of course, this doesn't always go so smoothly. Sometimes you just don't end up…

Lazy college professors should not be allowed to be strict. Like any social contract, everything should be a two-way street: if you're expected to deliver quality, they need to do the same. Otherwise, as far as we're concerned, the social contract is null and void. I remember when my high school teacher tried to solicit her students to contribute paragraphs that she would then compile into a research essay she was required to submit. We made sure that nonsense was shut down as soon as we could.

Everyone knows not to mess with a mom in fear of the mama bear coming out. But what about the kids who were raised by a mama bear? Those kids grow up feeling secure by their mom, so now they will do anything to return the favor. That's the example these kids show for their mom. The two brothers and sister in this family are all grown up now, in their late 20s-early 30s. One of the brothers shared a story about how they showed up for their mom and got the revenge she deserved . Their mom was dat…

A lot of times in life, whether or not you should do something has nothing to do with whether or not you can get away with it legally. Unfortunately, this is something the selfish and self-entitled narcissists of the world fail to understand. It's surprising that you'd have to tell anyone this, to be honest. But, when someone leaves you to inherit a treasured family heirloom because they think that you're the most likely person to enjoy it, treasure it, and respect it, the general expectation o…

Talk about an American Hoarder Story! This grandkid is a saint for finding just the right way to clean his grandmother's refrigerator, which was filled with expired food, without getting her frustrated. By planting one food item she despised in the fridge, she texted him to clean the fridge. She meant to just clean out the one item, but this Redditor took it upon himself to clean out the whole fridge and then some. He shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit.…

Family norms in the last 50+ years have been shaken up quite a bit. The classic ‘nuclear family'– with a stay at home mom that cooks and cleans, while dad goes off to his 9-5 job– used to be a norm, but nowadays, family structures look a little different. Most people would agree that the only thing that's remained the same in family relationships is that each parent is expected to contribute SOMETHING, whether it's financial or otherwise. But some people still cling to the old ways...

You would think most of us would know at this point that being the primary “breadwinner” in a family does not mean you are entitled to make a fuss when dinner is not on the table upon your return home from work. It's 2023, people! We should have more realistic expectations of all parties in a family dynamic, and therefore, we should have equal respect for the financial and emotional contributions that all parties make. Unfortunately, these kinds of expectations do not gradually fizzle from one…

Potlucks are a gamble because, let's be honest, you are subjected to other people's food. Sure, that means it's likely free food, but at what cost? These folks shared the worst dishes that people brought to a potluck via this r/AskReddit thread, and let's just say that now I have zero desire to attend a potluck ever again. From brownies with ground meat in them to casseroles with a side of roaches, these Redditors were subjected to the absolute lowest of humanity when really, everyone could hav…

Alright, so here's the deal. Our OP (aka the dad) did in fact change their family vacation plans the night before departure, leaving his daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids hanging. But tbh, he might be valid in this case. Our OP and his wife have been dreaming about a romantic getaway to celebrate their love for the 40th anniversary for a while. It might be the only trip they can manage for a while due to the costs. But when their daughter caught wind of it...

For whatever reason, there's something about wedding culture that gives engaged folks the false notion that they can get away with insane demands. First, there's the complete lack of care for how much money people have to spend just to attend from flights to hotels to wedding gifts. Then, if you're family or if you're in the wedding party, there's money for bachelor/bachelorette parties, dresses/suits, and more flights/hotels. Sure, being involved is an honor, but it's also quite the ask. This…

Sometimes, we say things we absolutely shouldn't but we are human, and we just can't help ourselves. In a few of these instances, you may be able to argue your way out of trouble, but if you've hurt someone's feelings (especially those of a close family member), good luck trying to talk yourself out of it. In this story , we have a teenager whose older sister has six children. Now, six is a lot, especially if you have to frequently rely on the help of your mother and sister because of all that…
