'This can't be real': Lawn care business owner puts entitled client in her place

One business owner was referred to a potential customer who has an entitled attitude. Mess with a professional and find out what happens, lady! If your business is a big chain, customers might flock to you. But for smaller businesses with just one or two employees, word of mouth can keep your company alive. Especially in a business like lawn care, having a referral from someone who appreciated your work goes a long way. It's a great compliment to know you made someone's front yard look so nice…

'That should be the end of Christmas presents for her': Niece reacts to grandmother's presents that 'aren't what I asked for'

This kiddo is all but guaranteed to wake up with coal in her stocking next Christmas. Every generation eventually finds themselves wondering about the kids these days. They're living out such a different version of childhood than the one you had while growing up. No matter which generation you're from, you probably spent it in entirely different ways than someone who's 20 or 30 years your senior. Older generations grew up in an era where you spent all day outside, and when televisions had three…

'Scams don't work on me': Marketplace scammer gets called out, apologizes, asks the target for money

If, at first, you don't succeed… tell a sob story and beg your target for cash instead. This is the scammer's creed—at the first sign of their scam going sideways, they'll crumple like paper and resort to tearful begging instead. That, or get overwhelmingly aggressive. The begging is really just the continuation of the same initial scam, and just because you were wary and caught them out on the initial attempt doesn't mean you won't be suckered in by the crocodile tears that follow. Commenters…

'I'm going to need you to step up': Manager demands worker comes in despite already having plans with family

People have a habit of deflecting their own problems onto other people. If you own a business and don't schedule or hire enough people for a holiday weekend, that's probably your own fault—and your own problem to resolve. Still, it's pretty common for business owners and managers to turn around and blame workers for not being available at the last minute when they already have plans. This worker shared their experience on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, sharing screenshots of an exchange that oc…

'Thats not fair!!! I already told her she can have them': Entitled mother insists on free products, then she really escalates her demands

'You are ruining a [baby's] life': Entitled person demands acquaintance change their dog's name so they can use the name for their unborn child

People tend to think they have sole rights to any name they choose. Guarding it with the same vigor that Mickey Mouse's lawyers use to protect his trademarked silhouette (don't even think of attaching three circles to each other for your logo.) It's almost as if people don't realize that their “Emily” is one of the millions, owning to the name being one of the most popular for the last 30 years. The same goes for any name. Unless you're naming your child something you really shouldn't (ie X Æ A…

'I accept your termination': Viral texts show immature boss flipping out after demanding unlimited worker availability for an already released schedule

This worker shared a lengthy exchange that occurred between themselves and their boss over availability to cover shifts for an already published roster. Things started off rocky, with the boss sending passive-aggressive and immature responses to the young worker's level-headed reasoning. It wasn't long before the conversation escalated into threats of termination. The fact that the worker appears to be a minor makes the conversation that much worse; the fact that the boss's lack of maturity is…

'I cannot understand a word of that': Weirdo 'choosing beggar' demands seller bring stroller to them for free

Buying and selling items means interacting with random people who want your stuff — and sometimes they're a bit kooky in their demands. One person shared their experience with this. As they wrote on the r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit, their sister had to deal with this strange potential buyer as she was trying to offload a stroller. Right from the beginning, the potential buyer has an odd way of speaking, which probably didn't help their argument. They wanted the seller to hand deliver the package…

Scammer Pretends to be CEO in Failed Phishing Attempt, Gets Trolled

Phishing is a very real threat —so why does it seem so ridiculous every time you see a story about it? Every time it makes news —or happens in your own workplace— the story is always somewhere along the lines of “Bob from accounting bought $100,000 of gift cards for fake CEO” or “Deborah from HR gave all the company's passwords to someone impersonating her boss.” You always walk wondering just what in the heck these people were thinking… How on earth did they fall for that?
