Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

As much as society likes to push people to become homeowners, and keeps emphasizing how important it is to own a property, being a homeowner is also a lot of pain. Especially if you have to rent out the home you own to others. Here at FailBlog, as much as we enjoy judging landlords, we fully understand that being one cannot be easy. That is why sometimes when a dispute arises between a landlord and a tenant, we tend to agree more with the landlord. Take the homeowners in this Reddit story as an…

Neighbor's kids sneak into resident's pool despite him refusing them repeatedly, leading resident to put up a fence to stop them from getting near the property: ‘You got fenced’

Some people grow up in big houses with a front and back yard, and a lot of space. Other people, mostly due to location and not necessarily because of money, grow up in an apartment, with a few rooms, maybe a balcony, and a lot of neighbors. In my family, one of our favorite discussions is which one is better when it comes to having neighbors. For some reason, having neighbors in an apartment building is not as annoying as neighbors who live in a house next to yours. We can't explain it, but the…

Karen customer gets banned from community group for not paying leader back £5: 'No pay, no participation'

As the old saying goes, if you don't pay, you can't play. This Karen was a member of a community group that hosted various activities in the local neighborhood, one of which was run by the Redditor. This activity in particular was only £5 per customer, and yet, this Karen refused to pay the amount. Perhaps it was on principle, but instead, she pretended it was because she was waiting for her next paycheck. Now, of course, we are sympathetic to folks in situations like this, but the facts did no…

Karen tries to claim ownership of the place she has been renting for 20 years: 'I pay rent, so I own this house'

Let's face it: paying rent stinks. It's like setting a pile of money on fire every week just for the privilege of surviving and oddly reminiscent of paying mob dues. You have virtually no rights to the home, along with virtually no guarantees, and in a lot of places, you can basically be asked to leave or pay more arbitrarily at virtually any point. Still, if you're fortunate enough to have a place of your own, you'll come to find that you're basically still just renting from the bank anyway, p…

'I woke up to over 50 texts': 22-year-old walks out of surprise party thrown by their family members after insisting they didn't want a celebration

The internet is totally divided: did this person handle their surprise party the right way, or were they totally out of line? It all depends who you ask, according to the commenters on this story from u/noparty4me88. As you can guess from their username, this person does not like parties for themself. They mention that they didn't ever have parties for their own birthdays, not even the major birthdays that often get large celebrations like their sweet 16 or their 21st. Some people just don't li…

'There are rats in the kitchen': 30 employees and servers share the industry secrets their bosses do not want them to reveal

In every industry, there are things that folks outside of said industry would not necessarily want to know about. For instance, if you're eating at a restaurant and you learn that they don't clean the kitchen nearly enough, you might never want to eat there ever again. If you work at a company and you learn that the truth behind who gets promoted and who doesn't has absolutely nothing to do with merit, you might be discouraged. But like all secrets, the truth is bound to come out, and while it…

‘I stopped coming into the office’: HR never approves employee’s Work From Home requests, he stops coming in anyway

It’s always amusing when employers seem to go out of their way to make it seem like going into the office matters to them… and then as it turns out, they don’t even have the bandwidth to monitor their so-called policies properly. Here, we have a company that kept ramping up their “return to work” policies to more and more mandatory days in the office. Now, this employee had been a hardworking member of the team for several years and had actually seen a boost in productivity with the hybrid and…

‘My union rep will be in touch’: Boss demands employee provide a doctor's note for every sick day but refuses to pay for it, employee gets the demand in writing, then files for grievance 

The beautiful thing about being an employee is that there is a contract for everything. Once you've gotten through a few places of work, you understand that everything you ever agreed on with your employer should be written down in your contract, that both the employee and the employer sign on. Once things are written down and secured, your employers can try as they might, but taking advantage of you should not be possible, and that is one important lesson you can learn from this Reddit story.…
