Entitled neighbor demands family to extend the wall between their homes or she'll report them to the city, despite the family already having replaced the rotted wall

"We live on a street with no sidewalks, so everyone has ditches for drainage. She never cleans her despite having huge trees dropping sticks and leaves into it, so her yard floods when it rains. She's blaming us for that."

'Don't sing Happy Birthday to me: Steamrolling employee intentionally embarrasses her coworker, gets put in her place and publicly shamed by HR

We all have that ONE coworker… you know, the one who likes to push everyone's buttons, gets on everyone's nerves and seems like they intentionally dance on a razor's edge over HR technicalities. They're entitled as heckin' heck and it's as if their agenda and opinions are the only ones that matter in the workplace. I like to call this type of person an ‘extroverted steamroller’.

'[She] returns it again, less polite, visibly irritated': Teen coffee shop worker sets smoke alarms off trying to make customer's bagel the right way

I'm convinced that some customers return to the same fast-food restaurants over and over just to mess with the employees. When a customer comes into the store announcing how bad the service was last time, and how the employees were so impolite, and the food was just awful… It makes you wonder, why are they even here? Do they know that there are a million options for fast food , including the same exact food from the same chain a mile or two away? Do they know that they have free will, and no on…

'You are a real pain on Fridays!': 20+ messy teacher moments for the back-to-school season

Back-to-school season is among us, which means that we are officially dealing with the best and worst teachers among us. Look, as the child of a teacher, I have an immense amount of sympathy for most educators. However, in every industry, there are people who are straight-up trash at their jobs. You can find these individuals in business meetings, behind the front desk of a doctor's office, and in our classrooms. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for stopping some people from being bad at t…

‘Empty everything? You got it!’: Employee cleverly complies with security guard's demands to empty everything in their bag, resulting in line holdup when more employees follow suit

‘Empty everything? You got it!’: Employee cleverly complies with security guard's demands to empty everything in their bag, resulting in line holdup when more employees follow suit

No matter where you work, security checks are always important, and should not be taken lightly. We should be grateful that we are taken care of in that regard, and that we feel safe when we go to work every day. That being said, security checkpoints can get a little bit annoying, especially if the guards there are not nice people. For example, the employee in this Reddit story found a clever and funny way to get back at a demanding X-ray guard at their place of work. OP (original poster) works…

'[I] watched him storm out the door': Teenager makes entitled customer's milkshake exactly how he wants it

Customers aren't always right, but they're happy to be confidently wrong. This person worked at an ice cream parlor as a teenager, which is a typical first job for many kids. U/chsser writes that they generally enjoyed the role, but they had a few regulars who had zero patience. At any restaurant, there are bound to be delays, and you might even get the wrong order from time to time. If you're a regular, it'll probably happen to you eventually.

'I clock in every day [and] play video games or whatever': Employee automates all their work being able to complete their 8-hour work day in 10 minutes from home

You've probably heard that old adage about the new hire who goes in for their first day of training ready to do everything by the book but is instead surprised and maybe even disappointed when they're instead taught all of the shortcuts that the experienced grizzled employee has developed over the years, cutting out the parts of the process that are superfluous and unnecessary. The problem is that by learning and only using the shortcuts in the first instance, they're never going to understand…

‘They got all huffy and left’: Server goes off on boomer guests after they sit themselves at a table and demand service, despite being told repeatedly to wait

When you go out to eat at a restaurant, do you wait at the entrance for someone to seat you, or do you go inside on your own and just sit at an available table?

The server in this Reddit story had to deal with some entitled guests who refused to wait to be seated. Despite clearly noticing t…

Talk about a savage way to go! This Redditor was offered a job on a military base that required him to relocate to Japan. However, after just one week, he was let go with barely any explanation. He hadn't even gotten a chance to execute his central responsibilities in the position since that first week was largely about getting settled and doing minimal training. Instead, he was dismissed with next to no explanation. His boss told him there would be other jobs on the base so it's not like he wo…

‘Respectfully, no’: Employee hands boss their two weeks notice, only for boss to demand they stay for two months, leading to a schedule conflict with new job

Why is it that when employees quit, they usually have to stay at their job for at least another two weeks, but when they get fired, they leave the same day without any additional work? Those two weeks since you hand in your notice and until your actual last day are always extremely awkward. Everyone at the office knows you quit, and basically have no interest in working with them anymore, the actual work you do feels pointless, and your manager is probably trash-talking you behind your back. Is…

These teenagers thought they'd figured out a perfect way to get their whole group home for a cheap price.
