'This is the first time I have ever asked to have some time off': 22-year-old babysitter gets denied vacation time for her sister's wedding, boss tries to guilt trip babysitter into skipping it

This kind of boss is just the worst, as this flustered nanny can tell you. Up next, this non-HOA homeowner is refusing to take down their holiday lights, and told the HOA member to “just get off my property… I've just had enough.”

'She needs to nama-stay on her side': Karen hosts yoga classes in neighbor’s backyard, calls him ‘territorial’ when he asks her to stop

A few months back, a woman’s next-door neighbor, Karen, decided to start teaching yoga classes in her backyard. At first, it seemed harmless enough—just a few mats by the fence. But soon, the “backyard” yoga sessions started creeping over into her neighbor’s lawn. Before long, Karen’s entire group of yogis was taking over half of her neighbor’s yard every Saturday morning. When the neighbor politely asked Karen to keep her classes to her own side, Karen just laughed, saying, “It’s all one big...

'Do you mean to tell me you've sat idle for 60 hours?!': Dispatchers tell trucker to wait for tire repair, dispatcher gets fired

'Do you mean to tell me you've sat idle for 60 hours?!': Dispatchers tell trucker to wait for tire repair, dispatcher gets fired

One trucker managed to waste an entire weekend… all because they couldn't get the help they needed. U/thedavecorp had an intriguing malicious compliance story to share with the internet. It all went down when they were at work, which for a trucker, can be almost anywhere. The original poster (OP) notes that this was before the days of GPS tracking, so they were really on their own when they got stuck with a flat tire. For many people, getting a flat tire can ruin their day. But it won't take mo…

'Go home, mom': Family bands together to get even with grandma who used her spare key to enter their home without permission

Another day, another family drama. One person, who we'll call OP, shared an entertaining story about their upstairs neighbors who got even with a family member of theirs who took it one step too far. OP lived in an apartment complex with two-story buildings and shared outdoor stairwells. Their upstairs neighbors were seemingly calm, chill people to whom they said hello once in a while. One day, OP's peaceful reading session was shattered by a commotion - shouts, running, pure family hysteria. E…

Wife locks husband out of bedroom over petty mistake, gets upset when he golfs all weekend: 'She should not be doing this'

Wife locks husband out of bedroom over petty mistake, gets upset when he golfs all weekend: 'She should not be doing this'

In this marriage, only one person gets to sleep in the bedroom when the couple argues. I always thought that was a silly sitcom trope, or perhaps just a luxury for people who live in houses and not small apartments. In any case, it's that classic bit where a husband and wife argue, and the husband is forced to sleep on the couch to atone for his behavior. Only in this dude's case, he wasn't even in the wrong! This dude and his wife have a really strange relationship dynamic, which commenters we…

'Did no one tell you this itinerary was way too much?': Bride-to-be dismayed over bachelorette party of "25 of my closest girlfriends" gone wrong

'Did no one tell you this itinerary was way too much?': Bride-to-be dismayed over bachelorette party of "25 of my closest girlfriends" gone wrong

Most of us can count our closest friends on one hand… meanwhile, this extroverted bride has 25 close friends ! If you have 25 friends or more, that's probably normal. If you're the extroverted type who befriends everyone you come across, you might have dozens of people you call your friends. When it comes to wedding planning, it's hard to narrow down that list of friends to include the ones you want to attend your big day. One bride who wrote in to r/AmItheA****** is going to have a lot of deci…

Update: 'Biggest payday of my life for 2 minutes of work': Contractor spends entire weekend at work after being told to "stay as long as it takes"

Update: 'Biggest payday of my life for 2 minutes of work': Contractor spends entire weekend at work after being told to "stay as long as it takes"

This bank worker had one of the strangest weekends of their life. Three-day weekends are a beautiful thing to look forward to. After that Friday's over, you have a full Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to travel or relax or sleep a lot. When you spend so much time at work, having a little bonus day off is a great feeling. This person was probably looking forward to their own three-day weekend , but their boss didn't let them enjoy it at all. As a contract worker, it seems like the OP, u/erikestrada…

‘I need you here now’: Client demands technicians come in without extra pay on weekend

When a client makes an oversight, the service provider usually swoops in and saves the day, but this time, being the hero meant coming in on a Saturday… And nobody wants to come in on a Saturday! Unless they're getting paid a million bucks, and that definitely wasn't the case here. The client worked at a medical center, and had had some builders come in and do some work. OP, the person providing service for the client (who we'll call CB) was setting up some equipment for them. CB forgot to call…

'I was told it's highly unprofessional to be drunk when I am off on the weekend': Boss calls employee at 9 p.m. on a Saturday, scolds him for drinking with friends

'I was told it's highly unprofessional': Boss calls employee at 9 p.m. on a Saturday, scolds him for drinking with friends

I'm fortunate not to have a job where I have to be on call during the weekends, so when Friday evening hits, my laptop is closed and stowed away until Monday morning. That should've been the case for this OP too, but unfortunately, it wasn't. He was out on a Saturday night celebrating his friend's engagement when he got a call at 9 p.m. from his boss. Considering she was calling his personal phone, not his work phone, he assumed it was an emergency, so he answered...

'I poured the shot in his shoes': Creeper gets what he deserves after pestering a woman on a date all night; ends up wearing the drink he insisted on buying her

Creepy dudes at a bar rarely catch a hint. You could literally tell them to their face that you're uninterested and the persistent vultures just think you're being coy. If only there were some audaciously insulting way that the victims of creepy bar flies could get payback against their leering peers? In this story, there definitely is.

'This is the first time I have ever asked to have some time off': Boss tells nanny to miss sister's wedding to watch her two kids instead

'This is the first time I have ever asked to have some time off': Boss tells nanny to miss sister's wedding to watch her two kids instead

You give your boss ample time to find someone to cover your shift when you need time off , but chances are they'll still forget and bug you to do the shift anyway. This person, u/Nannyneedabreak, definitely gets that. In their post to r/AmItheA**hole, this nanny wanted to know if she was wrong for the way her boss was treating her. As she noted, she wanted to go to her sister's wedding, and like a good employee, she gave her boss a ton of notice — seven months notice, in fact! That's plenty gen…

'[He] doesn't understand the consequences': Boss wants IT worker to shut down company emails all weekend, quickly realizes he locked himself out

'[He] doesn't understand the consequences': Boss demands IT worker shut down company emails all weekend, quickly regrets locking himself out

Every worker at this company had a peaceful weekend after their boss cut off everyone's email access . This boss reminds me of cats who really want to go outside when it's raining, so you don't let them out. When they finally get you to let them out, they immediately get drenched and want to come back inside. They'll look at you with this squint of anger, but of course, it's the cat's fault. Basically, some lessons are learnt the hard way because you can't anticipate the consequences of your ac…
