'Our neighbor has taken our fence down': "Fence Lady" chops down neighbors' fence because it is blocking her air conditioner

The internet is totally divided over the case of two neighbors who are loudly feuding over the fence they share . In the age of social media, we often only see one side of the story. This leads to people being called out for their behavior, when there is missing information that adds more to our understanding of the story. This story of two neighbors is a perfect example of this, as the two sides have decided to battle it out both in person and through videos posted to social media . As you can…

'I'm suddenly feeling feverish': EMT gives his 2-week notice then learns he will be shorted PTO, uses all of his sick days in his final two weeks

According to the Feds, employees are only allowed to get sick 3 days out of the year. At least, PTO and sick leave is intentionally convoluted and in America, some people actually feel guilty taking sick days (even when they ARE sick) because they have that vacation to Bermuda later in the year that they're saving those days for. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of a sick day? We should just call it what it really is: Floater days where you're paid to not work.

Yes, you read that right. No—it's not a typo that has been carelessly struck by an overworked and stressed-out writer who is frantically throwing these galleries together for your eyes to absorb. There are actually 150+ memes in this collection that are begging for your observance.

'[House] flippers were... unhappy with my mother's "unsightly" driveway': HOA tells family to clear their driveway, mother installs a sign to get back at them

What HOA wants, HOA will get. When they pick a fight with this family, they're going to get much more of a hassle than they ever anticipated. Parents can sense something in the air as summer is coming to a close, and they instinctually realize: It's time to make the kids clean out the garage with me. Why do parents have this instinct? Science has not given us the answer yet. Maybe they realize that school is about to be back in session, and their kids have had a lot of fun already this summer.…

Update: 'All three of them ran straight into the pool': Uncle gets even with nieces and nephews, their parents charge him for broken phones, revealing financial woes

Who knew that a simple prank gone wrong would ignite a long-lasting family feud? Let's be real: the most annoying kind of child is the kid who likes to pull pranks. The original poster of this epic Reddit saga, which was initially shared on the r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, knew that his nieces and nephews all fell into that category. Perhaps because he didn't have children himself, he could see these kids for who they really are. In this scenario, at a family gathering, the kids banded together a…

'I stopped doing everything extra': Grocery employee lets store fall into chaos after bosses remind them they're 'just a cashier'

This grocery store is going through changes, and its employees are not happy about it. A working environment is really defined by your bosses. You can have the best workplace in the world, but if management is poor, people won't stick around. This grocery store is going through something like that right now, as one employee, u/bugme143, explained. This employee had been working at the same store for quite some time, and it seems like their managers saw potential in them. They allowed the OP to…

'After those remarks I couldn't take it': Airbnb Karens demand water tank repairman clear entire schedule for them, he refuses, forcing them to leave the house

There will always be people in this world who confuse you providing a contracted service for them with you being their full-time employee. What does this phenomenon boil down to at the end of the day? Well, folks, the answer to that is totally pure entitlement. That's what this vacation family of 18 had, specifically the two grandmother Karens who were communicating with this Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit.

'Three cop cars pulled in and surrounded them': Cheap couple gets cops called on them for refusing to pay for a $9 salad bar

How much trouble is it worth going through to avoid paying for a couple of leaves of lettuce? Is it worth a run-in with the police that could possibly see you arrested and sent to prison, all because you didn't want to pay $9 for your salad after complaining about the toughness of your steak? From there, you'll be forced to plan a daring means of escape. By day, you'll see yourself unwittingly participating in and then dismantling the operations of the corrupt warden running the prison while sp…

'I don't have to do half of my job anymore': Part-time grocery worker asks for raise after halting extra work

As a grocery store employee , this part-time worker is known for taking on additional work to make the store run smoother. You'd think that would make them the ideal employee! But at this grocery store , that's just not how things work. As the OP explained in their story, they work very hard at their job, doing tasks that honestly sound like managerial work, like adjusting inventory or handling deliveries. Despite that, they still did all these things happily, until a new boss decided to step i…

‘I can hear the dripping sarcasm from the worker and I’m loving it’: 20-something-year-old Walmart employees give well-deserved sass to whiny Karen customer

‘I can hear the dripping sarcasm from the worker and I’m loving it’: 20-something-year-old Walmart employees give well-deserved sass to whiny Karen customer

It there is one place int he world that tends to be an accidental beacon to Karens, it's Walmart. Who knows what part of that mega store screams “entitlement welcome," but somehow it does. You'd think since most of their employees are either young kids/ adults or retired senior citizens forced back into the workforce that the patrons there would be a little more empathetic, but nope. Karens thrive in this establishment. However, the younger generation is starting to not give any Fs and standing…

'I was leaving the company... effective immediately': Buyer told by their boss to "deal with it or leave" chooses the latter option

The trouble with setting ultimatums is that you never know when someone is going to take you up on them. It's hard to know just how tired that person is of being under your thumb and whether they're just one strike away from reaching their limit. If you try and throw your weight around with an authoritative ultimatum, you just might find that it gets thrown back in your face and that your wish is granted. After suffering the insufferable for long enough, with long days being overworked and micr…

'You know what? Keep the schedule. I quit': Pizzeria manager cuts employee's hours because he took one break, employee stands up to him and quits

Most managers with an authority complex end up flexing their muscles when they absolutely have other tasks they should be prioritizing. Perhaps they understand that truth deep down, and as their coping mechanism, it's far easier for them to assert dominance over their employees rather than focus on what they're doing wrong as bosses and why things aren't running smoothly. That is certainly the case with this manager, who decided to cut an employee's hours significantly as a semi-punishment for…

'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…

‘The students were on their feet, cheering': High school teacher's assignment backfires when one student uses it to break the rules

High school memories arise from time to time, evoking mixed feelings, and causing me to wonder, why does anyone ever say that they are the best years of your life? The teachers never liked me all that much, being the hyper kid I was, who despised homework and could not focus for one minute in class, and the other students kind of bored me. Maybe it was the school itself, who knows? Perhaps others have had better luck. In any case, I can remember that when students broke the rules, the rest of t…
