This tenant and her husband had lived peacefully in their apartment for over two years, never causing trouble, paying rent on time, and dealing with their landlords' agonizingly slow repair schedule without complaint. But one early morning, the tenant was woken by a call from her 75-year-old "Mom-Landlord," screaming at her for parking on the grass. But just a few days earlier, the "Son-Landlord" had told them they could park on the grass while the parking lot was being repaved. But logic didn'…

Those of us who had the misfortune of working a minimum wage job in retail or at a restaurant know how much those places of work try to take advantage of their employees. Usually, it comes in the form of attempting to get employees to work more for less money, which 90% of the time is not even legal. That is why anyone who even considers working in a place like that should be really careful and look after themselves. Luckily, the employee in this Reddit story managed to recognize the red flags…

Has anyone else had the sneaking suspicion that their professor was doing the bare minimum when it came to grading essays? Of course, if students are encouraged to try hard, shouldn't their teachers lead by example? In an ideal world, yes… but this is far from an ideal world. Here, we have a college student who was assigned short weekly papers that ultimately amounted to just 10% of the grade (each paper was 1% and was graded out of 10). After the first six weeks of the course, the student was…

Going toe-to-tow with the local Karen

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things—even when the relationships are fairly “traditional” and straightforward. Let's be honest, though: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the ones that pretend

It's the spooky season once again, and the internet is ready to celebrate with some of their funniest and shortest horror stories. Could you tell a scary story in just six words? It's harder than it seems! We all know the classic short sad story, “For sale: baby shoes , never worn," written by Ernest Hemingway. The sentence has become a meme online, with plenty of people changing up the template to make their own jokey version of the story ("For sale: baby shoes, quite haunted," is just one exa…

Spooky Season can bring out the best and worst in people. On the one hand, Halloween is the one time of year when people of all ages can be pretty much as ridiculous and as extra as they want to be and get away with it. However, on the other hand, that also means people can be the most annoying versions of themselves, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop them. To commemorate this strange time of year, we have compiled a list of the top 20 mildly infuriating Halloween-related debac…

"I'm being encouraged by management to 'reflect on my life to figure out where it all went wrong'..."

Every so often, you come across a story where a resident managed to successfully pull a fast one on their HOA. Obviously, this is a rare occurrence. The vast majority of our HOA stories involve residents getting into failed legal battles with entitled Karens who have nothing better to do than enforce unnecessary rules and regulations. However, here, we have a Redditor who discovered a loophole in his HOA policy and worked to exploit said loophole from the inside. As a board member himself, the…

Far worse than a cash bar

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things. Even when the relationships are fairly "traditional" and straightforward, let's be honest: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the families that try and act like things are straightforward are the most likely to be hiding something. When families are more complex, mixed, or “blended” things get even further from simple. And who is…

When asked to choose between a single work-sponsored lunch or a permanent raise , why would you ever choose the lunch? It's a long-running joke that companies love to provide pizza Fridays instead of doling out much-needed raises (which could, in turn, let employees buy their own pizza, or you know, more important things in life than that). The company only has to shell out a few hundred dollars for a pizza party, and it does raise employee's spirits for a few hours while their stomachs are ful…

As you get older and watch your parents morph into full-blown Boomers, you start to realize just how wild their logic can get. Take this guy’s dad, for example, who believes that senior citizen discounts aren’t just a business tactic—they’re an honor bestowed upon Boomers for everything they’ve done for this country.

While doing nothing at work and still getting paid sounds like the best thing ever, many people will tell you that it is actually a curse in disguise. It might be nice for a day or two every once in a while, but spending months at a job where you have nothing to contribute can seriously cause you to slowly lose your ambitions, skills, and mind. This story is the perfect cautionary tale when it comes to finding yourself in a workplace. It tells the tale of an employee who found themselves with n…

Boarding a flight can feel like an interminable process, especially if you have found yourself in the final boarding group. Sometimes, you try to position yourself at the gate so that you'll be the first person in line when your group is finally called, but people end up thinking you're already in line and you have to step aside because you are not, in fact, worthy enough of being in Groups 1 through 4. Here, we have an entitled Karen passenger who insisted on being bumped up to an earlier boar…

You better be a good hotel guest, or else all the hotels in the neighborhood will gossip about you.
