‘I was surprised by his review’: Airbnb guests get their trip refunded after home owner shows up to property unannounced and gives them a bad review

‘I was surprised by his review’: Airbnb guests get their trip refunded after home owner shows up to property unannounced and gives them a bad review

Airbnb used to be way cheaper, but thanks to inflation (among other things), it's almost better to check into a hotel. Also, hosts can be frustrating to deal with. I'm not saying guests are angels, but let's just say it's a double-edged sword. This poster (OP) was attending a friend's wedding and opted to stay in an Airbnb. They had to make sure that pets were welcome, because they were bringing along their dog. Luckily they found just the place but upon arrival, the Airbnb owner showed up unan…

'My friend has a hedgehog named Quilliam Shakespeare': 40+ Hilarious pet names

You can literally just name your pet anything, no one will stop you. You can't go naming your human baby “ Cool Ranch Dorito, ” but there are plenty of kittens out there who would love that name. That's part of the beauty of naming your pet: they have no idea what their name means. They probably respond to the inflection of your voice when you talk to them more so than responding to their actual name. Giving your pet a quirky name is a great conversation starter, especially for all the times yo…

These pets have been on their baddest behavior, and they have no regrets about it! Some pets are just blatantly naughty, and they don't care who knows it.

Update: Dog owner reports mailman who finds numerous reasons to avoid their house: 'He didn't deliver for a WEEK'

If you don't like when dogs come to greet you, being a mailman isn't the job for you. Historically, mailmen and dogs have always been nemesis. It's a dog's job to protect their humans from all number of potential threats, like delivery trucks , pizza delivery people, neighbors, children, and people taking walks. To a dog, if you walk by their home, you're automatically going to get barked at for a while. That pup's got to alert everyone in the home that someone's out there! Look! Then, their hu…

'Thicken Nugget, senior chihuahua': 30+ Animals who were given hilarious names while they wait for their forever homes

If you have a pet , chances are you renamed them once you brought them home to you. Since there are hundreds of animals at shelters at any given time, they often just get random generic pet names like Buddy or Max. Then, once you've adopted your little fuzzy bundle of joy, you might want to let your kids name the new family pet, or give them the name you've always wanted your fur baby to have. Well, these animal shelters got a little more creative with their pet names. Whether they let children…

Pets make for great company and comfort, but nothing about them is cheap—especially when they get into and eat something they weren't supposed which prompts an emergency trip to the vet. Similarly, it's important to remember that your pet has a different biology than you and often really shouldn't be eating the things that you and I are eating. Even some things you might think are okay, you'll be surprised to find they shouldn't be eating—or might even be toxic. A quick search is always the eas…

What do you get when you hire a Karen to pet-sit your cats, dogs, and… piranhas? A whole lot of crazy, that's what. From the very first encounter with this Reddit user and his mom, it was clear that Karen was trouble personified. She had a list of demands and complaints that would make any sane person run away.

'We don't want a dog': Aunt buys nieces puppy as a surprise present without asking their parents, dad loses it

In my completely unbiased opinion, dogs might be one of the greatest creatures on this earth. Though, it remains a fact that they're a lot of work—work that is worth it if you have the patience, time, and money… and are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to ensure that they have a good quality of life and that you're being a responsible owner. If you think bringing a dog into your life doesn't require a huge change in lifestyle and responsibility—then I really worry about your poor dog an…

'Built for feed, not speed': 20+ Colossal chonkers who are living large

Seeing utterly large animals is one of life's simple pleasures. These animals, they're so big, and yet they're just living their lives as normal. I'm such a fan of the large grizzly bears , who seem to grow quite round from either too much hibernation or eating too much human food. They make the funniest faces and just seem so out of place. Hefty cats are also funny; their size doesn't stop them from doing all the regular cat activities, just while being super fluffy at the same time. Speaking…

Beggars shouldn't be choosers—and when you find yourself down on your luck or in a desperate situation, you probably shouldn't be making demands about how those who are willing to offer you support provide that support. There is nothing in this world more wholesome than receiving support from friends, family–even complete strangers—in a desperate time of need. A selfless act of support, willingly given, says more than words ever could and is often essential for making sure that you come out the…

'I admit I was a touch rude': Dude lashes out at dog owners after a simple inquisitive sniff

The proper etiquette and managing of your pooch in a public place is a tricky subject. Far too many dog owners let their dogs roam—recklessly leaving their dogs free to approach strange humans and unknown dogs without a second thought. Now, I know your dog is probably lovely, your prized little nugget of fluffy joy—but the chances of it lashing out at a stranger are not zero. To make matters worse, every dog owner in existence will give you the “He/she is friendly!” line—whether it's true or no…

Growing up, it's important to listen to your parents. Generally, they have a lot of insight and experience that you lack at this point in your life—plus a healthy dose of resulting cynicism. Once you've graduated from their care and have your own place, you get to live your life on your own terms, free to make your own mistakes and live your own life—which often ends with you constantly asking them for advice anyways. We value our parents and their advice, but some parents have trouble letting…

'Garlic is toxic to cats!': Internet condemns friend for feeding woman's cat toxic food and refusing to stop when asked

It's adorable how some folks treat their animals as humans—personifying them and giving them a voice and thoughts as if they can understand every word we say. I don't mean to sound cynical here. It's beautiful to see people treat their animals like family—they are—and where would mankind be without the companionship of pets? But, the personification should stop here; unfortunately, too many pet owners take personification a step too far and begin treating their pets in a way that doesn't suit t…
