‘I saw red’: Reckless truck driver nearly collides with a family's car, pushing them off the highway, bystander follows driver home and reports him

Unfortunately, we've all encountered an extremely reckless driver at least once. While there is a lot wrong with people like that, the worst of it is that they never seem to comprehend that when they refuse to pay attention to the road around them, they are endangering not only themselves, but everyone around them. If you don't care about your own safety, that is on you, but once you involve other people, you have a responsibility you simply cannot ignore. When I am on the road, it feels me wit…

‘Get your story straight’: Man backs into stranger's car while texting and driving, claims to the insurance company that he wasn't even in the car, leading to a pursuit of evidence

We might not like to acknowledge this, but as grownups, we sometimes have to own up to our own mistakes. Being an adult means that we can't just ignore our mistakes, hoping that they will go away on their own, and we definitely cannot lie and try to drop them on other people. Unfortunately, a lot of adults try to back out of their mistakes when it comes to everything that happens on the road – breaking the rules, road rage, and even hitting other cars, all of these make the road feel like a gia…

‘Our agreement doesn’t apply': Employee quits and gets reimbursed for $21,000 after boss insists they commute 200 miles a day for 2 years without compensation

‘Our agreement doesn’t apply': Employee quits and gets reimbursed for $21,000 after boss insists they commute 200 miles a day for 2 years without compensation

Too many bosses don't know or care to go through company policy. But a handful of them know exactly which rules will benefit them… and not their employees. You would think that a boss who purposely makes their employee drive 200 miles a day without being compensated should be fired. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one rooting for this dude's professional demise… So what happened? This boss lied to his employee and worse, manipulated them into commuting 200 miles a day for 2 entire years…

'You want a free ride? Fine, I'll take you to Mexico': Ride-share driver gets back at passenger who canceled the ride mid-trip

This ride-share passenger is going to be telling this wild story for the rest of her life. You would too, if your ride-share driver took you out of the country without your knowledge! Ride-sharing apps are popular all over the place, from cities to rural areas to tourist traps.

'Enjoy your ticket': Irresponsible driver yells at cautious driver for slowing down to let an ambulance pass, then gets a hefty speeding ticket as payback

People with road rage should not be allowed to be behind the wheel. There is no reason that a person who cannot control their anger should be in a position where they could endanger so many people's lives. Unfortunately, unless they are caught violating some kind of rule, they get to continue in their rageful ways. One thing we do get out of road rage is funny petty revenge stories. This story was shared by a guy on Reddit who had to deal with a very irresponsible driver. The poster (OP) was mi…

'Only go out and plow if I tell you to': County road supervisor makes a snowy mistake during morning rush hour

This new boss was surprised that some older employees knew better than he did. That was hardly a surprising outcome to the employees, but new managers often feel like they have to make a good impression by bossing everyone around. After all, if they're hired to lead, they think that the most visible way to demonstrate that is to make changes to their workplace immediately. In reality, if they just spent a few minutes talking to their most dedicated employees, they'd probably find out which chan…

‘I’m listening to the map, I'm not listening to you': Brother turns car ride into 3.5 hour journey after being told by his sister to ‘stop giving her directions’

Spending time in a long car ride with your sibling tests your rage levels like nothing else. Back in the day, before digital maps were a thing, I would be in charge of telling my father where to go, which turn to take, etc, and the car ride always ended with him shouting and me in tears. Now, if I'm driving with a family member somewhere, I tell them to argue with the app, not with me. This brother found a clever way to get back at his sister when they were headed to meet their dad at a car dea…

Some people are just so unagreeable that it makes you wonder who taught them manners. The answer is probably nobody, so that explains why they act like they deserve to have everything handed to them on a golden platter. This neighborhood Karen drove up to one of her neighbors, who we will call OP, and told them off for not setting up Christmas decorations around their house. When OP explained why they weren't decorating that year (a very legitimate reason, by the way, and not that generally it…

'He has no idea what's next': Resident meddles with neighbor's plans to construct a roof for elderly father, so neighbor builds 80-foot wall

One grumpy, 'neighborly' man took things too far when he blocked the road, not allowing construction workers to drive through to his fellow neighbor's property, to build a roof for their elderly, 93-year-old father. This neighbor, who we will call OP, told the story on u/pettyrevenge, and at the end of it, asked people which color would be the most unattractive color to paint a fence. Obviously, not his own side. But let's start at the beginning. What happened goes as follows… OP's neighbor blo…
