'She says she paid $90 for the cake and she expects me to give her $25': 17-year-old babysitter eats aunt's expensive cake, babysitter's mom refuses to pay for "already stale" cake

If you had a $90 cake sitting in your fridge at home, I imagine you'd eat every last bite of it. You can get a fantastic cake for a fraction of the price. This woman just decided to shell out 70€, or roughly $90, for an expensive cake. Up next, this 22-year-old was thrown a surprise party that they adamantly did not want, and when they fled the shindig, they “ woke up to over 50 texts ” from surprised family members.

'I loooove you': 38-year-old embarrasses mom in public after years of enduring the reverse

Everyone's been embarrassed by their parents at some point growing up. More often than not, we accept these embarrassing moments as a part of the adolescent experience. Rarely do we see children grow up harboring a desire to recreate said embarrassing moments but with the roles reversed. Here, we have a playful and wholesome moment when a now 38-year-old Redditor decided to get even with her mother by telling her how much she loves her in a public setting, something her mother used to do when t…

'She cannot continue her princess treatment': Dad insists 16-year-old daughter spend less time on her appearance because "it's just so frustrating"

This Dad is so tired of his teen daughter's daily makeup routine : it takes hours! People seem to fall into three camps—they either love makeup, feel neutral about it, or can't stand wearing it. Some people who feel neutral about it just wear it to look professional for work or to cover up eye bags. Some really dislike the way makeup feels on their skin or the expectations society has around it. Then there are people who absolutely love makeup, and could spend all day doing it. U/No-Jump-3973 s…

'My coworker has it out for me': 29-year-old bartender on closing shift gets back at work enemy by making her opening shift the next day more difficult

'My coworker has it out for me': 29-year-old bartender on closing shift gets back at work enemy by making her opening shift the next day more difficult

Engaging in a petty back-and-forth with your coworker is, more often than not, a recipe for disaster. However, sometimes you have no choice but to defend yourself. Here, we have a 29-year-old bartender who often was put on the closing shifts at the small but popular bar where she worked. One morning, her coworker who was on the subsequent opening shift tried to get her in trouble with their manager for a mistake she had not made the night before. So, the Redditor decided that the best way to ge…

Mom and stepdad force teen daughter to drive younger siblings around on her own dime, refusing to compensate her for gas or pay her for her time: 'I'm just working on the weekend for money to drive my younger sibling[s]'

Doing favors for people generally would be met with some sort of reciprocation or thanks, and you would generally expect to be compensated for any of your own resources you might spend helping them. Say, something like paying someone for gas when they've given you a ride or picked you up from the airport. It's not an equal transaction because you're not compensating them for their time or for the service they've provided you, but you're at least saving them from bearing the most direct financia…

'Nobody knew him': Job interview candidate gets caught in lie about prior job experience when he interviews with the wrong person

This job interviewer is used to seeing people with padded resumes, but even they were caught off guard by this candidate's blatant lie. It's one thing to lie about small stuff, like maybe you claim to have more experience with Excel than you actually do, or perhaps you fudge your daily responsibilities to make it seem like you were a big shot at your old job. Up next, these people shared the immediate red flags they saw upon walking into someone's house for the first time , like one person who…

Food company sends quality control team cheaper sauce, then ignores their warning about low quality and releases it anyway: ‘The customers won't taste the difference’

'If it ain't broke don't fix it' could not be any more clear, and yet many companies, especially in the food industry, keep trying to change things that don't need changing. Surely, every single one of us can think of a food product that we used to love, but then something about it changed and suddenly tasted disgusting. I'm sure it will not come as a surprise to know that companies do that because they are trying to reduce costs and use cheaper products. And when you use cheaper products, well…

'My boss wanted me to stand every time he entered the room': Employee almost gets fired for "disrespecting" his boss, quits on principle

Imagine getting in trouble during your first week at a new job because you didn't stand up when your boss entered the room. Who does this employer think he is, a king? You would think in this day and age, given all the cultural conversations we have been having regarding employees' rights and backward workplace behavior, that this would not be allowed. And yet, the other employees in this office, from the bottom of the “food chain” to the top, seem to feel that this is the appropriate standard.…

Boss demands employee rewrite their job description with more responsibilities, but refuses to give them raise in return, employee arrives empty-handed instead: ‘I'll stick with that, thanks’

Boss demands employee rewrite their job description with more responsibilities, but refuses to give them raise in return, employee arrives empty-handed instead: ‘I'll stick with that, thanks’

If a workplace can get away with dumping new responsibilities on employees without giving them anything in return, you can bet they will give it a go. There are plenty of employees who won't notice they are being taken advantage of, and will gladly agree to more work with nothing in return. They will probably convince themselves that it is good for the experience, and at least they can put the extra responsibility in their resume, for the next job to come. If you are not interested in gaining '…

Taylor swift concerts dating Relationships Relationship Girlfriend teens teenagers university college aita boyfriend dating fails Dating-Relationships

18-year-old concert ticket "scalper" refuses to give or sell Taylor Swift concert tickets to his 19-year old girlfriend, choosing instead to sell them for double what he paid: 'She ended in tears when I told her I wanted to sell the remaining two tickets'

It remains a fact that if you actually cared for the person you were dating and held in your hand the chance to do something that would make them immeasurably happy—and you'd be a certain kind of evil for not doing it at the chance to pursue an unethical profit, especially when the way you're choosing to make that profit is derided by the masses. Ticket scalping is just one of those things that offer no value, allowing the entitled and uncaring a way to turn a profit and personal gain off a ter…

'I decided to start including the Chairman/CEO... on all emails': 22-year-old employee gets admonished by supervisor for their over-the-top email tactics

This worker has taken a hilariously petty tactic to get employees to reply to them. Rest assured, their boss completely hates this tactic, and the internet has informed them how dumb it is, too. Some people refer to “email jobs” as fake work. It's the type of job where you get paid a nice salary and benefits to work 40ish hours per week. Your boss probably doesn't care if you come in a few minutes late or decide to take a long lunch with your colleagues. That's in contrast with retail work or f…

'If I have to talk to you again, you have to sit in time-out for 10 minutes': 10+ Employees who got fired after getting petty with their most entitled customers

Think back to your first job and try to remember how you dealt with customers. Were you the polite type who tried to solve every situation without an argument, or were you the type to bring in your manager so you wouldn't flip out on that customer? Either type is fine, because let's face it, some customers are just the worst people. They have zero respect for the hard workers in retail positions, fast food jobs, or call center reps. All these customers can think about is themselves and their ow…

40-year-old company man gets passed over for promotion in favor of younger coworker, starts quiet quitting: 'Why should I care about them?'

It's never too late to stand up for yourself in the workplace. This company man was the kind of guy who always went above and beyond and was never properly rewarded for that extra effort. After 11 years at the company, he was once again passed over for a big promotion in favor of a much younger, newer coworker. Finally, it was time for this employee to become disillusioned. Now, he understood what all the younger colleagues and coworkers at the office were talking about when folks were doing th…
