‘Let’s round it up, then': Customer demands compensation after accidentally turning mobile data off, tech support laugh and offer him 2 cents

‘Let’s round it up, then': Customer demands compensation after accidentally turning mobile data off, tech support laugh and offer him 2 cents

People are always trying to get discounts. Wait, let me rephrase… Entitled people are always trying to get discounts. People who are bored, miserable, and like to play the underdog. Look, I don't see anything wrong with a discount, but I do see something wrong with the way folk tend to go about it. Instead of asking nicely, or speaking in a polite tone, they'll yell their heads off, be rude and condescending, and generally make the person on the other end feel awful. That's what this customer d…

'She used the extra key': Landlord enters tenant's apartment while they're at work, replaces fridge, then leaves all food outside to spoil

'She used the extra key': Landlord enters tenant's apartment while they're at work, replaces fridge, then leaves all food outside to spoil

Just because you pay someone rent every month doesn't give them the right to enter your apartment whenever they want… This landlady did exactly that, using her extra key to enter her tenant's apartment and replace the fridge. Her tenant wasn't home, and was actually at work when this happened. The tenant took to r/mildlyinfuriating to express how angry they were after they came home and found all their food out on the counter… Left to spoil. Who raised this woman? I'm sure it's not the first ti…

'You can't keep sending things back': Demanding couple keep changing their order in attempt to make servers look incompetent in front of manager

Some customers will try anything to get free stuff, going as far as to make employees working in customer service cry. I mean, if you're working in customer service, chances are you've sobbed your heart out at one point or another, whether from frustration or at the absolutely shocking behavior some people portray because you happen to have a nametag stapled to your shirt. People are the worst. This couple was obviously trying out some elaborate scam in order to get comped for their meal. They…

‘You should have waited’: Server gracefully leaves customer's table a note explaining card was declined, returns only to face a service dispute

One customer was absolutely livid when his server did him a 'graceful favor' when his card was declined. The situation evoked quite a discussion on Reddit, where people either completely agreed with the original poster (OP), or totally disagreed and thought that they were in the wrong. So what happened? Well, a very rude customer showed up to eat at OP's workplace, and after serving them, OP came to give them the check. Unfortunately, their card was declined. OP didn't want to embarrass the cus…

'Either pay with credit card or leave': Hotel clerk refuses to accept guest's cash payment, demanding he pay only with card

'Either pay with credit card or leave': Hotel clerk refuses to accept guest's cash payment, demanding he pay only with card

Many people find themselves rarely in need of using their credit cards anymore. With a digital wallet or a smartwatch, you can tap to pay pretty much anywhere you go. The need for a physical wallet with actual credit cards is basically non-existent. But still, some places will not accept payment without a physical credit card, and you do not want to get stuck being unable to pay them. Like hotels, apparently. This Reddit story can teach you a lesson or two about always taking a credit card with…

'I told him I wanted $5,000': Guy catches a lawyer practicing without a license

'I told him I wanted $5,000': Guy catches a lawyer practicing without a license

Lawyers have a certain reputation for being a little shady. This reputation isn't representative of all lawyers, but there are always a handful of them who prey on people. When people come to lawyers , they're at a point of desperation—maybe they've been in a car crash, or they're going through a messy divorce, or they're squabbling with their landlord. Most folks out there just don't know much about the law, and they rely heavily on their lawyers to sort it out for them. Not only are legal iss…

‘She refused to pay me back': Woman demands roommate pay entire rent after losing her job, then proceeds to eat all of their frozen dinners

‘She refused to pay me back': Woman demands roommate pay entire rent after losing her job, then proceeds to eat all of their frozen dinners

What would you do if your roommate was a leech, sucking you dry of money and food? I think a lot of people might run of the rails, but some people are less comfortable with conflict. Myself included. I shudder when I think back to my ‘roommate’ days… Thankfully I have since grown a spine. You need some nerve to force someone to pay your half of the rent, and even more nerve to eat all of their dinner, and refuse to pay them back. But this woman was a bold freeloader, and her parents obviously d…

'I forced them to cancel my subscription': Customer returns albums filled with cement to get back at record store that locked them into 36 month rolling contract

'I forced them to cancel my subscription': Customer returns albums filled with cement to get back at record store that locked them into 36 month rolling contract

One record store was no match for a clever young customer who refused to accept that the store tried forcing him into a 36-month contract. This story took place back in the 1980s when OP was 16. OP signed up to a record club where he received free albums upon signing up, followed by three albums each month that had to be paid for within 30 days. Otherwise, he would have to pay interest. At first, OP was happy, but slowly the quality of the albums he was receiving began to decline. Soon, OP was…

'Gone in 60 Seconds': 35 Working-class people find the perfect movie title to describe their bi-weekly paycheck

To give us a semblance of control over our own lives, it pays to have a sense of humor. In fact, laughing in the face of your misfortune is sometimes the only way out of it. For those of us working-class folks who like to have a good chuckle, the surest way to do so is to giggle at our own paychecks (because this just HAS to be a joke, right?)

'I'm not paying you, it's your car': Young man demands roommates pay $500 for his car maintenance, they refuse

You roll the dice when moving in with new people, and I don't say that lightly. Even if you guys are besties from the second grade, nobody is safe from a good old roommate horror story. I had my fair share of entitled roommates, and I can honestly say that paying double for my own tiny studio apartment is worth it, because after everything I went through, I'm over it. Wait till you hear what happened in this story… 'I gave you a ride, a couple of times' was OP's roommate's excuse for demanding…

‘They lost everything’: Store owner goes bankrupt after being audited for refusing to pay employee's wages

One store owner played with fire until they got burned… Resulting in them losing their entire business. But hey, let's start at the beginning, shall we? OP relayed the infuriating tale on Reddit, the place where employees worldwide come to complain about their entitled bosses. OP was working at a mall and was supposed to work a shift, but got told to 'go home' when they arrived. Weird, OP thought. The next day, OP came back to get their check for work they had done in the past couple of weeks,…

Tenant Makes Their Money-grubbing Landlord Lose $9,000 When They Raise Rent by $150 After Bragging About Their Excessive Wealth

Being a renter feels like you're perpetually stuck under the foot of the 1%. As you watch your paycheck drain from your bank account into your landlord's every month, it's tough not to feel a certain resentment and resistance to their wealth, since it's you who's paying their restaurant bills, buying their cars, and giving them the means to install indoor pools in their second home in Tahoe. But what if there was a way to get back at your greasy, slime-ball of a landlord?

‘She felt entitled to an extra discount, so I gave it to her’: Retail supervisor who already quit handles a demanding customer by giving her a ‘senior discount’

‘She felt entitled to an extra discount, so I gave it to her’: Retail supervisor who already quit handles a demanding customer by giving her a ‘senior discount’

You get a discount, you get a discount, everybody gets a discount! I'm kidding, that's not how retail stores work. If everyone got a discount for no reason, the store would be out of business. It's the retail worker's job to ensure that people don't show up with expired coupons, and this particular worker who had landed themselves the role of supervisor was very good at their job. OP had actually quit, giving in their two weeks' notice, and we all know that the moment you quit is the moment you…

'You could have called': Customer travels to seller's house by transit, despite not having determined a time to meet up

One person was giving away some cat shelves for free, when they encountered the weirdest customer they had ever come across. When you buy something online you determine a time to meet up, right? I feel like that's the universally acceptable thing to do. Otherwise, you risk just standing outside in the rain or something, without having a concrete plan in place for when you will have the product in your hands. And if you did end up driving out to a seller's house without having set a time to meet…

‘You need to pay before I give you the room’: Hotel guest's card gets declined, front desk clerk refuses to check him in

You pay, you get a room, simple as that, right? Sometimes, people go to elaborate lengths to get a room for free, and it seems as though this was one of those times. OP was working as a front desk clerk at a hotel when they were approached by a young man who came to check in for the night. He showed OP his ID, but it turns out, the room he had booked was not yet paid for. So OP told him that they had to pay up, leading to a very suspicious turn of events that led OP to believe that they might j…
