There are people in this world who have found a way to be simultaneously desperate and demanding. Whether it's negotiating a purchase or severely underpaying someone, the choosing beggars of the world still always manage to find ways to surprise us here at FAIL Blog. You always think you've seen it all until someone offers to pay a babysitter less than $3 an hour. It can be difficult to call choosing beggars out on their nonsense. Firstly, you have to be stern and confident. You have to know th…

In case you haven't learned this already, it's your landlord's world and you are unfortunately living in it. Yes, in this day and age, it seems like landlords are becoming even more unnecessarily powerful than they should be and are capitalizing on that power as much as they can. This collection of top landlord stories from Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit only brings back haunting memories of my first New York apartment, the unstoppable ceiling leakage, and the unsolvable roach infestation. B…

When these landscapers got a referral from one customer to another, they had to explain some important caveats. Unfortunately for the landscapers, these clients were not happy with the deal they were going to get. Referrals are really important to many companies. In recent years, there's even a big incentive by lots of brands to tell your friends about their product. How many times have you gotten a friend to sign up for a random product just so you can get a discount? Or, if you're crafty, you…

Most parents teach their children about having respect for other people, but occasionally, you'll come across one or two who refuse to acknowledge that their kids need to learn a lesson. It's as if they are some untouchable species that could never do anything even remotely annoying or entitled or inappropriate. But we all know that kids can be all of those things. In fact, they are likely to lean into those qualities if no one calls them out, and it's preferable that their parents should be th…

It's not new knowledge that AirBNB has been on the steady decline. It's more than just shoddy hosts trying to pull some sketchy things. It's also AirBNB host coming in and jacking up living prices and buying up houses that could have been a lovely home. Long gone are the days where AirBNB is romanticized. Now, we harken back the days of hotel, motel, Holiday Inn (cue Bogus Trizzy song). Here is another example (out of many floating around the internet) of an unsatisfied AirBNB customer. This wo…

Mudslinging isn't very neighborly, but neighborhood feuds are more common than affordable housing. In buildings with close quarters, paper-thin walls, and rickety floorboards, it's easy to get swept up in the downright fury of a noisy, irritating neighbor– especially when you have opposite sleep rhythms. For this tenant, it was more than just the tight living conditions that sent her over the edge...

Workplaces love to advertise their great benefits, especially if they offer generous vacation allowances.

Ready to get woke, sheeple? America has been kind of going in the gutter for several decades now, to say the least. There is a housing crisis like no other and the price gouging because of “inflation” is simply out of control. Don't even get us started on how little the government “helps” the families in this country. The conversation around minimum wage in the U.S. as exploded on Reddit and Redditors are providing a “woke” commentary. A small town/small factory worker took to Reddit simply to…

If you have ever worked as a phone salesperson, then you know how horrible it is. If you enjoy it, then you work at a company that is unique and cares about their employees and customers or you are a sadist. Because most of the time, these companies hired to sell products for even larger companies pay minimum wage, make employees upsell unnecessary items to work off of commission, and most don't even offer benefits. Imagine it, you're talking to someone who has to be pretty old because they sti…

We know all too well at this point that HOA sagas can be drawn out for what seems like an eternity. Recently, a friend and her partner were unjustly fined for using an incorrectly installed air conditioner that was built by the prior tenant, who of course had not been fined. However, it did not matter who installed the air conditioner. The fact that someone discovered the installation went against the rules not long after they moved in and started using it was enough to hand out an intense fine…

Some people just want to watch the world burn. But when you're the one guy who's only job is to prevent destruction from consuming the job site, that's exactly what you're trying to avoid. For some supervisors, especially the arrogant kind with a ‘i-can-do-no-wrong' attitude, being the safety guy at a construction site doesn't actually mean anything. They just want to trot around, puff their chest, and tell everyone what to do– even if it's the wrong call.

Every so often, a neighborhood feud turns out to be mutually beneficial for both parties. Here, we've got a petty back-and-forth between this married couple and their Karen neighbor over the placement of a snow fence. Karen, who is new to the neighborhood, zip-tied said snow fence right along to the couple's gutters. After the husband cut it off and moved it back to her own yard, a feud officially started between the two households. What followed was a series of revenge moves that included Kare…

Now that we're officially back in session, it's time for some amusing high school and college anecdotes for any folks who have confused feelings about the school year. Even if you're no longer in school and all your loved ones are out of school too, there is something about the dawn of autumn that brings back those funny, wild, and cringeworthy school memories. Of course, I have many but the one I will reflect upon today took place during orientation week from my freshman year of college. I was…

These students had an absolutely hilarious idea for their senior prank — and it was so effective that their school ended up on the news.

Here is a cautionary tale for the demanding entitled Kevins out there who don't even realize that they're actively making enemies out of the people who are working for them. You know that there are more of these guys out there than just Pat. Pat was a friend of a friend to this Redditor , who therefore felt obligated to continue working for him. The Redditor would perform household duties as a side hustle outside of his full-time job. Pat is the kind of guy who would make demands out of nowhere…

In a thread that went viral, users were asked, "What would you name a newborn child if you really, really wanted to ruin their life, but wanted to maintain plausible deniability about having done it on purpose?" Oddly specific, but we're here for it. The responses were as entertaining as they were bizarre. People shared names that ranged from whimsical and fantastical to downright hilarious. On this side of the internet, traditional naming conventions are thrown out the window...
