'This went on and on for weeks': Guy gets even with non-stop partying neighbors by hiding their extra keys

Guy gets even with non-stop partying neighbors by hiding their electric key: 'Two days later [...] they ran out of electricity'

Nine times out of ten, neighbors who call in noise complaints are usually the problem, but every so often that neighbor is in the right. You can usually tell when you read them recount their story if they are attempting to hide the crazy or if they truly are the voice of reason in the conflict. Here, we have a resident of an apartment building who allowed their new neighbors a grace period to make some noise for the move itself and for their housewarming party. However, as time progressed, it b…

Obviously, there are other worthy candidates such as difficulty with communication, differences in ideologies, and disagreements about significant others. However, how people deal with money can bring about cringeworthy interactions, upsetting revelations, and disturbing differences in opinion. For instance, here we have an adult male and his wife who were invited to their friend'…

'I desperately need my [bonus]': Boss withholds holiday bonuses and throws a Christmas party instead, ignoring the votes of the majority of the office

If you had the choice between a bundle of cash and a cringey office Christmas party, which would you chose? For some, the Christmas bonus means a new set of tires or an in-home heater repair, but to others they'd rather peacock through the workplace, guzzling free cocktails and flaunting their shiniest blazer.

'She got her comeuppance... at the office Christmas potluck': "Susan the Snack Stealer" tries to hoarde food at the office holiday potluck, gets confronted by the entire office

This woman was a notorious food thief… until the office potluck, that is. When someone gains a nickname like “Susan the Snack Stealer,” you can quickly figure out what type of person they are. Clearly, this woman had a reputation around her office. Due to her entitled attitude, she was completely fine with pilfering her coworker's sodas, granola bars, and chocolate. When you're hungry, you don't always make the best decisions. I wonder if Susan felt any remorse after stealing those morsels. It'…

'My neighbors won't stop screaming': Guy plays heavy metal all day as payback for his neighbors' constant partying

Is there anything worse for non-confrontational folks than having to confront your noisy neighbors? As a non-confrontational person myself, I get anxious just thinking about being put in this position. I still have stress dreams about that time I had a crazy neighbor complain about my ceiling fan. Or that time when someone thought I was having a party when it was the people next door. Somehow, I still felt like it was my fault. So if you dread these kinds of encounters and that's just when you'…

'Force me to do Karaoke?': Non-singer pressured to perform at show-off's karaoke party, cue malicious compliance

Karaoke is not for everyone, and it's ten times worse when you have an actual good singer present. We all know why that is. They hog the microphone, they take it too seriously, they pick obscure songs (probably musical theater), and belt crazy notes that don't actually sound as good as they think. In short, karaoke is only fun when everyone in the group is on the same page about what this is. You can either have a room full of show-offs and legitimate singers, or you can have a room full of non…

'Congratalations on your weeding': 25+ Freshly baked cake mistakes

We get distracted by the outside, but it's what's on the inside that counts. That's especially true with cakes, which can look stunning on the outside (thanks to fondant or other technically-edible decorations) but taste bland and dry on the inside. In my book, no matter how unfortunate the cake turns out , if it tastes good, it's still a win. Everyone has had a few baking mishaps . There was that time when we were all stuck indoors for a while back in 2020, and a lot of us got into baking brea…

This boss is going to be a hero to their employees. This fearless manager stood up to an unfair rule in the best possible way — through malicious compliance , and following all the rules.

Ax throwing is such a fun activity, it's no wonder the person in this tale decided to host a birthday party there. If you've never done ax throwing before, it's about as simple as it sounds. You show up to the location, get your own lane to throw axes down, and then an instructor teaches you the proper throwing techniques.
