There is a certain etiquette when you're on a long train ride and in close quarters with other passengers. Talking loudly on the phone for hours on end is not up to code. If you go down that path, you can expect retaliation and feedback. It could be small such as your fellow passenger rolling their eyes or politely asking you to stop. However, the response could also be petty. In this instance, the response was severely petty. This Redditor shared all the ways in which he ensured that his fello…

Having bad neighbors is a nightmare, especially if they share a wall with you. What do you do in these types of situations? Most people just try to ignore the troublesome neighbors and continue living their life. However, that only works for so long—like, until they start terrorizing your own property. Then what do you do?? The cops can't really do anything until things have progressed way too far. And you can't really do anything beyond what the law allows, which really isn't much unless it's…

In a shocking twist, a Reddit user recently found himself facing a challenging and unexpected situation in his relationship. After enjoying six months of happiness with his girlfriend, the couple decided to take their commitment to the next level by moving in together. He thought he had discovered the perfect match, but little did he know that she was about to drop a bombshell that would shatter the illusion of their seemingly picturesque relationship. Faced with this revelation, the boyfriend…

Every so often, there comes a time when you find yourself pulling a Karen for necessary reasons. This is not to condone Karen behavior, but rather to say that justified rage can sometimes be misinterpreted as Karen behavior, which is by definition unjustified. When you find yourself “pulling a Karen,” you often have the inclination to stop yourself from getting upset even though you have objectively been wronged in this situation. Sometimes, getting upset is not being a Karen. Sometimes, it's s…

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. For folks who work late night shifts, it's more important to remember the mantra, 'don't bite the hand that caffeinates you!' When you have a good rapport with your local barista, good things can happen. When you make an enemy out of your coffee server… You're gonna have a bad time.

As more and more millennials and Gen Z enter the workforce the staff is becoming more technologically literate. However, only to a point. We all know how to create a PDF, how to connect to the printer, which emails are spam, and things of that nature. But that does not mean we all know how to restart an entire server, or fix a Point of Sales (POS) system. That's why having an IT team for a company is still very important, if not more important than ever. So when you get the technologically-illi…

If you like to procrastinate at work, definitely be sure to check who's looking over your shoulder. Look, we all have to be honest with each other, bosses and employees included. We all need to take breaks at work. It's literally impossible to always be working. If you dare to think otherwise, you obviously aren't capable of recognizing that the quality of your work has likely suffered as a result of going non-stop for over eight hours a day. Now, for those of you who are able to procrastinate…

We all get hangry around lunch time in the workplace. Clients are tedious, your boss is on your back, and you've been dreaming about your leftovers in the fridge all morning. That's when ultimate disappointment and betrayal comes and hits you like a hangry slap in the face– your lunch was stolen.

Roommates can be weird, to say the least. Even if you're moving in somewhere with a bestie, you will still be confronted with a side of them you've never seen before. Whether you two mesh with those sides is the key. That's why it's important to find a roommate with the same home values as yourself. For instance, if you really hate dirty dishes piling up, you would want to live with someone who is also serious about washing their dishes right away. Or if you are someone who doesn't really care…

It's a touchy subject when it comes to salary transparency. Many employees tend to agree that sharing what you make amongst each other helps people get paid what they actual deserve and avoids people getting underpaid and overpaid. However, some say it creates a “target” on the head of people making more and creates team tensions. A Redditor recently sparked a discussion on the subject after he had to school a co-worker on his salary. The co-worker, who happened to be the nephew of a higher-up…

The only thing more shocking than a stranger asking for your bracelet to give to her wailing child is that stranger's refusal to let it go after you say no. Seriously, this conversation lasted way longer than it needed to go, and in some ways, I applaud the Redditor for having the patience to put up with this entitled mother. If this were to happen to me, I would just put on my headphones and tune the Karen out. That being said, no one would want to have anything from my wardrobe, so I'm probab…

There's a special satisfaction that comes with finding a successful loophole to get around a silly workplace policy. Especially when it comes to getting paid fairly for all the work you do. Now, you know that nurses have to put up with a ton of nonsense on the job that makes saving lives more challenging than it already must be. However, this bureaucratic silliness sounds like way too much. This Redditor shared their story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, which detai…

Everyone has standards, but sometimes you have to be willing to forgo them. If you're in a desperate situation, it's not the time to start making demands, nor is it the time to be difficult. If you're having trouble getting what you need, there is a good chance that the situation boils down to you being the problem (as Taylor Swift would say). Recently, I found myself needing to travel to another state for a wedding but not being able to afford the astronomical flight prices. I found myself des…

Public transit is interesting in the U.S. The employees and patrons are both colorful and it's either peaceful and quite or something crazy going down. No in-between. It's like the scene in Superbad when they get on the bus and the houseless guy is there and he calls out “McMuffin” and things go down and the driver has to stop and kick them off. That's a pretty accurate portrayal of most public transit rides in the U.S. One public transit patron in Rhode Island shared a story that was short, ye…

Sure, the best payback is to live happily, but sometimes, in order to do that, you need to care of a few other things first. Now, I have never personally been cheated on (to my knowledge), but I know that if that were to happen to me, I would get petty really quickly. What can I say? I'm a Scorpio; it's in my nature. Now, based on the responses to the following r/AskReddit thread, there were plenty of wholesome comments about how futile being petty is, and that very well may be true. But this l…

Every roommate relationship requires a constant reestablishing of boundaries. However, no matter what you do to rectify whatever problems you and your roommate are having, there are some people out there who simply don't get it. These special individuals have no concept of boundaries, space, and mutual respect. Furthermore, there's an even more dangerous combination out there, which is the occasional scenario when this kind of roommate also just so happens to be a pathological liar. This means…
