'I'm more important than an employee': Entitled airline passenger demands first class seat she never paid for

This airline worker bought the very last first class ticket , and settled in for a plane ride to Texas, until an entitled passenger disturbed him. The best part of going to the airport is the relief you feel once you're through customs and security and you find your gate. You breathe the biggest sigh of relief that you made it to your flight on time. Then, in your spare time while you wait to board, you get to shop at the airport stores, which are similar to a mall. If I ran things, I would let…

'My new employer [laughed it] off': Boss calls worker's new employer to accuse them of "poaching" when the worker leaves for better pay

It's nice to feel valued for your work and know that your employer understands that you're important to their business, though you might hope it wouldn't take handing in your notice to find that out. You might also prefer that this was communicated to you in a way other than through your old boss calling your would-be new employer to accuse them of “poaching." Alas, some people just don't know how to communicate properly. Maybe they never learned, maybe they just don't care… maybe they aren't e…

Willie made a comment about the uncomfortable layout of the office that rubbed the other managers the wrong way. So, essentially, they attempted to blacklist Willie and find a way to keep him from getting other opportunities in other departments. The…

With more experience comes more opportunities and better pay… Unless you're a contractor, who was ghosted by a client at the start of the pandemic that has suddenly rematerialized and requested your services once again. You might expect that you'd be receiving at least the rate that you were on previously—although it might be foolish to make this assumption without getting it in writing—and return to working at that rate. That's what happened when this healthcare contractor, u/Kind-Designer-576…

AITA for not inviting a friend to my wedding due to her behaviour at the last wedding she went to?

'No one had anything to eat for most of the [wedding] reception': Blundering baker's stunt leaves wedding guests stunned and hungry

Some friend groups last forever, others dissolve over time, and some, like this one, break up in a dramatic fashion . You make friends in high school or college, and over time, you might find that you have less and less in common. The classes you bonded over in college aren't there to tie your friendship together after you graduate, and life circumstances mean that someone you were once close with might have entirely different priorities now. It's one of those awkward parts of life that have to…

'I prepared an entrée, main course, and dessert': Retail employee serves customer 3 portions of petty revenge on a plate following customer's petty promise

Working in retail makes you develop a thick skin, as you have no choice but to deal with people who have obviously never heard the word ‘no’ in their entire lives, let alone been taught basic manners. Anyone who has worked in customer service of any kind will be sure to tell you that the number of times they've been told, ‘I’ll never shop here again!' would surmount the times it was actually true. In other words, people like to talk, but they don't put their money where their mouth is. One cust…
