The account that follows is the story of an extremely entitled mother who finally learned valuable life lessons such as never accepting candy from strangers, setting boundaries, and being cautious around strangers. The story starts when OP invites her kids to the water park. Unfortunately, OP's severe motion sickness prevents her from enjoying the rides with her children. However, because being a mom requires sacrifice, OP arrived on site prepared, clutching a bag full of ginger candies that wo…

Keeping a cordial relationship with your neighbors is vital. It's the kind of connection where I scratch your back and you scratch mine. You don't have to be best buddies who hang out 24/7, but at the very least, you should be considerate of them. The story below is an account of a frustrated and petty neighbor. This man is one of the nicest people I've ever heard of, so don't let his current status fool you. I would stop at nothing to have him as a neighbor. It was a wintry, stormy night when…

Every time we dine at a fine restaurant, we mentally prepare ourselves for the horrible moment when we get handed the check. No matter how prepared we think we are, our hearts skip a beat as soon as the bill lands on the table. The story below is of a young and daring teenager who thinks he can get away with anything. I guess it has to do with the naivety of children that lingers in our teens. To get back to the point, this young boy opted to invite all of his closest buddies to a fancy restaur…

Consider this: You have been working for what seems like forever. Just as you are about to clock out, a couple enters the restaurant and asks to be seated. You obviously attend to the unwelcomed couple, and then just like that you realize that you're not going home anytime soon. As if that weren't awful enough, the couple now treats you like they own the restaurant, giving you the run-around, yelling at you, and expecting you to treat them like royalty. Well, that's exactly what happened to our…

In hard times, our worth and value become evident. The way a person handles others in trying circumstances speaks volumes. So, while I don't want to jump the gun, I'm quite sure that I'm a terrible person. There is no patience in me when I'm nervous or angry. The story below is of a front desk worker who unfortunately meets the Karen of the century. The Karen in question enters the room totally oblivious of what is going on. OP, however, doesn't let her insults get to him; instead, he keeps cal…

For the rest of our lives, we can work ourselves to the bone every day and never receive credit for our commitment and hard work. Nobody can argue, though, that there is nothing better in the world than that moment of triumph when we are finally acknowledged and validated. The story below is of a hardworking and underappreciated CNC mechanic. OP, also known as Bobby, is the highest-producing mechanic in the company. However, it is important to note that his outstanding performance is a product…

My mom always told me that the best revenge in life is becoming successful. If a bully is putting you down or if you're feeling like you're in the dumps, perseverance and downright refusal to fail can sometimes be the fuel you need to hurl yourself towards your hopeful accomplishments. In this story, a high school student who was laughed at by their guidance counsellor got the ultimate humble revenge by using doing exactly what they were told was impossible: College.

Ok hear me out: sometimes people (or animals) fail so hard that it's almost a win. Sometimes you just have to accept your circumstances and make the best of a bad situation. Some days, you just get soaking wet in the rain to the point that you're utterly drenched and you start laughing because, like, how could this get any worse? And then (if you're this one little girl) you just lay down in the middle of the street and accept your soggy fate. She's not the only one who's leaning into the strug…
