'Enjoy the car now': Farmer brings rental car back covered in mud after driving it around the countryside following rental company's unfair demands he pay 1 day extra

'Enjoy the car now': Farmer brings rental car back covered in mud after driving it around the countryside following rental company's unfair demands he pay 1 day extra

One farmer was fed up with a car rental company after being charged $91 extra for no good reason. But wait, let's start from the beginning. The farmer's car was being repaired after being involved in a small crash, which forced him to rent a car for $91 a day. To the company's credit, they had some pretty great policies, such as 'no cleaning fee' no matter how dirty the car got, and unlimited miles, which was useful, as the farmer lived in the countryside. Finally, his car was almost fixed, so…

‘Dude, I’m already here, are you kidding me': Customer wastes 3 hours of time and gas after arriving at car seller's home only to be told van is already sold

One seller wasted 3 hours of his customer's time and gas money… Why? Who knows, people are awful, especially those selling on Marketplace. The customer, who we'll call OP, took to Reddit to complain about his terrible experience. Basically, OP had seen a small van for a reasonable price online, and wanted to buy it in order to convert it. They reached out to the seller, telling them they were interested in buying the van and would like to come see it. All seemed to be going well, as the seller…

'Sorry, you can't just park your RV here': Demanding landlord informs tenant he's going to park RV in his backyard, doesn't take ‘no’ for an answer

'Sorry, you can't just park your RV here': Demanding landlord informs tenant he's going to park RV in his backyard, doesn't take ‘no’ for an answer

Property owners, also known as landlords, can be quite annoying to deal with if they ignore basic lease rules and go with the flow of whatever their heart desires. For example, this dude explained how his demanding landlord texted him, promptly informing him that 'next week, we'll come to park the RV on your property'. Um, come again? So the dude quickly wrote back, 'No', which led to a conversation that made no sense. Why do landlords think they can just do whatever they want? The tenant pays…

‘You should pay because I don’t have a job': Unemployed housemate demands roommate pay $50 more in utilities after using the microwave 3 times, then moves out when roommate refuses

If you're having trouble with your roommate, you are not alone. I can count on one hand the number of roommates I ever got along with… And I've lived with quite a lot. Some of them were great friends who turned into enemies after we moved in together, and others were strangers who became best friends. Weird, but that's life. This person (OP) was furious when their roommate demanded they pay an extra $50 in utilities after using the microwave 3 times and ‘leaving the kitchen light on’. OP refuse…

‘I was surprised by his review’: Airbnb guests get their trip refunded after home owner shows up to property unannounced and gives them a bad review

‘I was surprised by his review’: Airbnb guests get their trip refunded after home owner shows up to property unannounced and gives them a bad review

Airbnb used to be way cheaper, but thanks to inflation (among other things), it's almost better to check into a hotel. Also, hosts can be frustrating to deal with. I'm not saying guests are angels, but let's just say it's a double-edged sword. This poster (OP) was attending a friend's wedding and opted to stay in an Airbnb. They had to make sure that pets were welcome, because they were bringing along their dog. Luckily they found just the place but upon arrival, the Airbnb owner showed up unan…

'She used the extra key': Landlord enters tenant's apartment while they're at work, replaces fridge, then leaves all food outside to spoil

'She used the extra key': Landlord enters tenant's apartment while they're at work, replaces fridge, then leaves all food outside to spoil

Just because you pay someone rent every month doesn't give them the right to enter your apartment whenever they want… This landlady did exactly that, using her extra key to enter her tenant's apartment and replace the fridge. Her tenant wasn't home, and was actually at work when this happened. The tenant took to r/mildlyinfuriating to express how angry they were after they came home and found all their food out on the counter… Left to spoil. Who raised this woman? I'm sure it's not the first ti…

'You owe me': Woman's friends go through her financial documents, find out she's mega-rich and demand she pay down their $50k student loans

It's always awkward when one of your friends is super rich. Not just 'financially stable'… but rich, rich. So well off that they could buy an island or something. So this person was mega-rich, and her friends found out about it. How? Well, you know, the usual way. By her telling them. Kidding, they found out by snooping through her private documents that revealed her private financial status. They found her trust fund, and wow, was it a great trust fund… They immediately went off on her, asking…

'She invited all of her previous husbands because she enjoys drama': 15+ Wedding guests tell the funniest and most awkward wedding-day dramas they've ever witnessed

You can't expect everything to go 100% perfectly at a wedding. It seems like every couple has at least one funny story from their special day . They may not find it funny in the moment, but their guests will never forget it. Some moments are funny because it's not appropriate to giggle during the wedding ceremony. Everyone is trying really hard to be serious and solemn, so when anything remotely silly happens, the audience just bursts out laughing. Later at the reception, people imbibe a little…

'None of your candidates enjoy it': Candidate declines one way interview as part of job screening process, leading to dispute with HR

One fed-up candidate who had the privilege of job searching while they still had a job snapped back at an HR representative over text after discovering that a ‘one-way interview’ was part of the screening process. What exactly is a one-way interview? Well, it can vary but it's usually a brief video recording that job candidates send potential employers to aid them in their screening process. You typically answer a few pre-selected interview questions. Awkward, right? Demeaning almost. This cand…

'He set me up': Recruiter informs employee's boss they're planning to quit after dazzling them with 300k position

Recruiters are infamous for playing games, not following up, and outright ghosting you. Sometimes you feel like you have no choice but to work with them… Searching for a job on your own is no easy feat. And with the costs of inflation and the lack of transparency regarding salaries in job postings, it can be helpful to have someone 'on your side'. It's always a nightmare to search for a job, especially in today's market, but unfortunately, recruiters aren't always 'on your side', and they often…

'I was the only brunette in the room': Work meeting goes wrong after an awkward notification pops up in front of entire team

You had better be careful when you are sharing your screen in a meeting. So many team members eyeballs on you. Too many things that can go wrong… Maybe you are applying to other jobs, and an email notification pops up that invites you over for an interview. Perhaps you paused an intimate conversation you were having with your girlfriend. And maybe, just maybe, you said something you shouldn't about a coworker who is sitting in that very meeting. In this case, OP took to r/pettyrevenge to descri…

‘Actually, I don’t need your permission': Student gets back at principal who gives classmates demerit points based on dress code

One student became furious when her school principal gave one of her friends demerit points for 'dress code violations'. The most annoying part was that even though she was wearing the same thing as her friend, she didn't get told off. In a sense, this student was upset that they hadn't been punished. That's some real loyalty right there! The issue was bigger than that, though. This principal would only give certain girls in the school dress code violations. Unfortunately, this was a recurring…

'You could have called': Customer travels to seller's house by transit, despite not having determined a time to meet up

One person was giving away some cat shelves for free, when they encountered the weirdest customer they had ever come across. When you buy something online you determine a time to meet up, right? I feel like that's the universally acceptable thing to do. Otherwise, you risk just standing outside in the rain or something, without having a concrete plan in place for when you will have the product in your hands. And if you did end up driving out to a seller's house without having set a time to meet…

Public transit attracts all kinds of people, and a big chunk of them are the type you wish you'd never have the pleasure of encountering in your life. Imagine you are on a train, and all these people are packed on it. You've found yourself a nice window seat, and the beginning of your journey goes smoothly. Then, something unfortunate happens… Your nice, quiet seatmate leaves, and a loud, rude one sits across you instead. She begins chewing loudly, mumbling, and eventually, puts her feet on the…

On those groggy mornings where you're on autopilot , mishaps are bound to happen. We've all done it: when you're half-awake, you tend to do things like forget to bring your laptop to work, or maybe you start driving to your mom's house instead of the office, or even searching desperately for your phone while holding it. That's especially funny if someone witnesses you using your phone flashlight to look between the couch cushions for the phone in your hand. One of the more embarrassing things I…
