neighbors trees neighborhood-drama solar panels entitled people Neighbors - 45696261

Homeowner feels pressure to take down trees so their neighbor can put up solar panels on their house and save money: 'They shouldn't have bought a house that was around a bunch of trees!'

In the midst of this AI revolution, a few things started to seem normal, like a lot of industries being almost entirely run by robots, or the fact that there is no way to talk to a human being when calling your local shipping company, but what I never expected was that AIs were going to make mistakes, and we were going to have to pay for them. Maybe that was the first thing to expect, instead of a happily-ever-after where robots would work and we got to have fun and lie in the sun.

Entitled boss fires employee to replace him with AI but then demands he come back to blame him for the AI’s mistakes: 'There is a TV monitor showing an interactive AI man who was the “analyst” that the clients can talk to'

Is one supposed to endure hunger so as not to become an ungrateful guest? Table manners are not an exact science. One might consider leaving a house party early a perfectly fine attitude, while another can find the same to be a crime against humanity. Let’s embark on seeing what we conclude after reading this Reddit post.

Diner leaves a dinner party early because the vegan lasagna didn’t fill him up: ‘There were no noodles, no cheese, and no sauce. It was basically layers of vegetables stacked together’

31-year-old-woman buys her first home after years of saving, then discovers her sister, husband, and four kids already expect to move in: '[Which bedrooms will my kids be using?]'

I wish someone or something could protect us from the ridiculous fights we pick and the mistakes we make in our first relationships, but we are at the mercy of stronger forces and find ourselves pushed to go through that character arc alone. Everything feels so dramatic when we're in our early twenties; you couldn't pay me enough to go back, but no one can take the pleasure of watching and analyzing someone who's still in the trenches away from me.

22-year-old college student got dumped by his 21-year-old girlfriend simply for talking to a female friend: ‘From my girlfriend's perspective, she believes: I hid important information.’

I wonder if this loophole is, in fact, a loophole or if she will eventually be kicked out because of this. It should be allowed to be a little mischievous, but also, if it were allowed, it would probably lose its whole point. Let’s walk through this story first and later derive our own conclusions from it.

Call-center employee finds a loophole that starts making her job a lot easier: ‘I had just had a customer before this one who got a call and had to go... which gave me the bright idea'

Very few things are more pathetic than someone trying to command an authority they don’t have, or pretending to have everything under control when they clearly don’t, but when it comes to our ridiculous bosses, we love to see it unfold. That’s the case for this Redditor, who shared a story about a very “interesting” manager, who’s also his boss’s wife.

Employee plans to leave his job without notice and refuses to train his designated successor: 'If anything remotely related to "what she does" is brought up by the employees, I tell them that they'll have to reach out to her, and I can't help them'

This story could be the plot for a Jordan Peele kind of thriller, about the stuff you gradually start letting slide coming from your neighbours, until you end up becoming absolutely trapped by the situation.

Entitled next-door neighbour constantly pushes neighbours' generosity by using his lawn and properties, when confronted about it: ‘He laughed it off, said "we're neighbours, what's mine is yours" smiled and kept sitting there’'
