‘He wouldn’t let anyone near it': Resident objects to the removal of hazardous tree, hugging it in attempt to prevent machinery from cutting it down

There are a lot of scenarios in movies and TV shows in which a person is opposed to the removal of some kind of landmark, like an old tree or a historical building, and to stop the destruction of it, they do something extreme. Something like tying themselves to said landmark, or organizing a protest with other people in order to stop its removal. Though it might be a funny moment for television, it is intriguing to know whether this types of situation actually happen in real life. Well, I can g…

‘That is a complete violation of my privacy’: Boss spies on employee on sick leave to make sure he is actually sick and not on vacation

It might be hard to come to terms with the concept, but there should be total and complete trust between a manager and their employees. If a manager is unable to trust that their employees are there to do the best they can, then maybe managing is not the best thing for them. Not to say there aren't any employees who take advantage of a job, but if an employee feels like they are not trusted and are being observed with every step they take, they are definitely not going to stay at that job for l…

‘Don’t bother coming in to work tomorrow': Employee asks manager for missing tax documents from her paycheck, manager responds by firing employee

As a child, thinking about becoming an adult and having to deal with things like taxes is genuinely terrifying. As an adult, well, it's actually still pretty terrifying. It will forever be a mystery why we don't have classes at school that teach us how to deal with these sorts of things. But somehow, we learn the ropes, and with each year we grow up we get to learn more and more about adult life. The manager in this Reddit post still has some lessons to learn. The person who wrote the post (OP)…

‘There were dolls staring at us from the window’: Realtors share the most bizarre reasons why potential buyers decided not to buy a house

If you are ever so fortunate to be in a position where you are able to buy a house, the house you buy must be perfect for you, or at least has to have the potential of becoming perfect. You spent so much hard-earned money on this property, you want to look at it with pride, not disappointment. That is why it is unsurprising to learn that many buyers back out of buying a house even for the smallest of reasons. That being said, there are many other times when the reasons are downright ridiculous,…

'Who even designs these?': 20+ Design flops

The difference between good design and poor design is in the eye of the beholder. For example, let's say you want a staircase in your newly built home. How hard could that be to execute? It's probably pretty straightforward, unless you want something fancy. Maybe you're a wealthy multi-millionaire with money to burn and a desire to impress your artsy friends. Then perhaps you give your designers some artistic leeway. It's shocking how many interestingly designed staircases are out there in the…

'Class of 2021 or something': 25+ Misprints that made it to the finished product

Making a custom order can be the perfect gift, but only if the creator actually writes what you want! There are seemingly quite a few sellers out there who have taken some liberties with what they'll write on a shirt or a cake. Getting a custom birthday cake for someone is usually a sweet surprise. The birthday celebrator gets to have a professional-looking cake to take photos with and commemorate the occasion. But as you can see from the numerous examples below, sometimes a simple request for…

'Dipped a Kit Kat in tikka masala': 20 bizarre food combinations people swear are delicious

Some of these may sound gross, but always try it before you judge it! Someone had to have taken a risk in order for us to socially accept some already bizarre food combinations in our culture: pineapple and pizza, fruit and chocolate, milk and cookies. At one point in time, all of those food combinations were considered taboo and weird. In fact, if you ask some people (like me), pineapple and pizza are still pretty disgusting together. That being said, enough people enjoy the mix of these two v…

‘Sell your car and give me the money’: After having an expensive wedding, entitled groom asks friends for a loan, and goes as far as asking them to sell their car for him

Do you think friends should loan each other money? Not small amounts like buying each other coffee or lunch, but pay-your-friend's-this-month's-rent kind of money. On the one hand, friends should be there for each other, and feel comfortable enough to ask for help when they need it. On the other hand, big sums of money can cause a lot of tension between two people, no matter how close they are. The thought alone of having to ask a friend for your money back can make anyone feel extremely uncomf…

'I'm not on duty, back off': Doctor refuses to provide medical care on flight, passenger tries forcing him to do so anyway

What type of passenger are you on a long flight? Are you the type who falls asleep as soon as the plane takes off, only waking up when the meal is being served and when the plane lands? Or are you the type that never falls asleep, so you binge-watch an entire TV show while snacking on the complimentary snacks and drinks, and maybe chat a bit with your neighboring passenger? I think it's great that every person can find what to do on a flight in order to relax and enjoy the experience, but the e…

'My partner and I were in absolute shock': After owning home for 3 years, entitled realtor still lets herself in unannounced

If my roommate and I are both at home and someone started to walk in, I'd immediately think it's a burglar. I mean seriously, who just lets themselves in someone's house nowadays? If it's a family member or a close friend, we typically get a quick text that they're stopping over. Or at least a knock! In this OP's case, it's not even family or friends that are barging in unannounced. It's their realtor. From three years ago.

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.
