Working to pay your way through college is exhausting and extremely difficult. Not only are you just learning how to live on your own– buying groceries, doing laundry, balancing life/work/everything else –but you're a hormonal basket-case that's hellbent on accidentally ruining your own life with drunken mistakes, failing to pay your utilities on time, and taking that required gender studies course. Now when finances are an added concern, things get ever trickier because you're attempting to pl…

It's no secret that some employers think they own your soul just because they pay you for your work. Somewhere between now and the 15th century, they got lost in time and mistakenly thought they were feudal lords. Unfortunately, there are more comparisons between peasant working conditions in medieval Europe and today than we would care to admit. This viral thread was shared to Reddit's r/antiwork community by the worker, u/InfiniteMaf. With a bewildering level of forwardness, the company's HR…

Seasons may change, but mildly infuriating moments will always be there!

Other people speak Spanish y'know, the world doesn't revolve around you

The healthcare system in the U.S. has been a topic of controversy for decades. We pay out the wazoo in taxes for it, yet many of us don't even receive it. And then the ones who do, are either super rich and get top quality care, or not super rich and get subpar or horrible care. We don't blame the health workers! It is the system. But because of this horrible system, we've all, unfortunately, experienced a horrible doctor's visit situation. You know, that time you had an appointment made for 9a…

When you decide to take the leap and share your life with another person… actually share it with them. Don't do what this jerk boyfriend did and kick them out of the house, baring them from their own home so that your friends can sit in their favorite chair and hang out with you while they're on the outside looking in. Instead, be inclusive and seek to share time, love, and desires with them. This dude got roasted for forcing his recently-jobless girlfriend out of their shared home so that he c…

After buying a house , this guy met his new neighbors, but these people just couldn't let go of an old neighborhood agreement. Relationships between neighbors can be delicate. The family in this guy's story clearly missed house's previous owner, and that didn't stop them from using his property. As u/rodeopete3281 wrote, he recently purchased a new house, and was fixing it up before move in. He realized that some of his new neighbors were parking at his house every day, which wouldn't be a prob…

Talk about main character syndrome!

Living with your pals is a risky move, even if you're life-long friends. This guy shared the story of his two awful roommates , Lisa and Jay, who decided to share a living space. As the OP wrote, “Every bone in my body is saying this is a bad idea, but I give it a go." Despite their hesitation, the first few months went fine for the OP and their two roommates. But then, things started to shift. The two began acting oddly, like the GF, who suddenly shows up with a $500 phone and TV bill, claimin…

There are many red flags to watch out for in relationships, but your coworkers' opinions should not be at the top of the list.

It's almost alarming how many customers assume it's their right that an employee drops everything to help them, whether the employee is on break, off the clock, or busy helping another customer. This was Karen's assumption as well, as she scoured the store for someone wearing what resembled a uniform. This same Karen expected a retail worker to help her, even though the worker was on break. She took offense when told that, and went straight to the manager, as any good old Karen would do. There…

This underpaid IT professional waited years for fair treatment from his bosses. The work doubled and then tripled, but the pay never reflected his efforts. He wouldn't prove how essential he was to the company until he left… and cost them $40 Million. Redditor u/slw_motion_trainwrck shared this story on the r/antiwork subreddit. u/slw_motion_trainwrck's story centers on their experience working for a factory in the Southern United States. The factory was based in "a very small farming town of a…

Nosy neighbors always have too much time on their hands to start pointless feuds. In this case, Karen not only ignited a neighborhood fight , she also wasted valuable resources. This person shared their wild tale from a few years ago, when they first moved into a duplex. The trouble stared the day they moved in, when Karen began interrogating her new neighbor . Acting like she was the HOA, she told the OP that all fire pits and bonfires are banned from the street, then asked lots more invasive…

Roommate situations can get muddled and messy real fast, especially when matters concerning money are involved. You'd think you could trust a friend in that regard, but don't be so quick to assume… people can unpleasantly surprise you, as made obvious in this tale of petty revenge. One man told his ‘roommate horror story’ to r/pettyrevenge, which took place many years ago. While in college, he rented out a room in the summer at a friend's apartment in Colorado. He wasn't aware that this ‘friend…

This worker shared a lengthy exchange that occurred between themselves and their boss over availability to cover shifts for an already published roster. Things started off rocky, with the boss sending passive-aggressive and immature responses to the young worker's level-headed reasoning. It wasn't long before the conversation escalated into threats of termination. The fact that the worker appears to be a minor makes the conversation that much worse; the fact that the boss's lack of maturity is…

Literally, why would you ever mess with the people making your food?
