'His passenger side will get blasted': Suburban man gets payback by installing 360° sprinklers to wreck his neighbor's sports car after he repeatedly drives through his lawn

The boundary between you and your neighbor is sacred. Whether you have a fence, hedges, a wall, or just a plain ol' property line, the duty of every neighbor is to respect and cherish the space in between. In a country ridden with kitschy ‘no trespassing’ signs that say "We don't call 911”, we take those boundaries pretty seriously– even in the suburbs, a place known for over-trimmed rose bushes, nosy HOA's, and passive aggression, neighborly feuds can arise quickly when the line is crossed...

'We are going to make a custom cake to rub it in': Petty boss plans to mock employee on their last day, weighs options for how to get even

When numerous employees leave a company in a short amount of time, you would think the boss would decide to start being nice. Unfortunately, that would require having faith that bosses had enough self-awareness to know that they might be part of the problem. It goes back to the classic “if everyone else is crazy, you're the one who is insane” saying. But of course, we cannot expect the horrible bosses of the world to wake up from their deluded simulation of reality and realize that their experi…

Couple requests guests to foot $2k+ bill to attend their wedding

'Dream wedding? Get the guests to pay for it': Couple forces guests to pay $2k+ to attend their wedding

Have you ever daydreamed about a grand wedding, without the hefty price tag? Well, don't we all? It turns out some people actually have the audacity to ask their guests to foot the bill for their big day. And not just the usual gifts, but the whole shebang: venue, food, drinks, cake, flowers, entertainment, etc. How do they do it? By sending out invitations that look like invoices, demanding a minimum amount of money per person, AFTER the guest RSVP's ‘yes’. Sounds crazy, right? But it's true.…

reddit reddit-thread malicious-compliance emt pto said-sick-leave sick-days leave underpaid paycheck payday employee holidays resignation quitting two-weeks notice sick

'I'm suddenly feeling feverish': EMT gives his 2-week notice then learns he will be shorted PTO, uses all of his sick days in his final two weeks

According to the Feds, employees are only allowed to get sick 3 days out of the year. At least, PTO and sick leave is intentionally convoluted and in America, some people actually feel guilty taking sick days (even when they ARE sick) because they have that vacation to Bermuda later in the year that they're saving those days for. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of a sick day? We should just call it what it really is: Floater days where you're paid to not work.

Update: 'All three of them ran straight into the pool': Uncle gets even with nieces and nephews, their parents charge him for broken phones, revealing financial woes

Who knew that a simple prank gone wrong would ignite a long-lasting family feud? Let's be real: the most annoying kind of child is the kid who likes to pull pranks. The original poster of this epic Reddit saga, which was initially shared on the r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, knew that his nieces and nephews all fell into that category. Perhaps because he didn't have children himself, he could see these kids for who they really are. In this scenario, at a family gathering, the kids banded together a…

'After those remarks I couldn't take it': Airbnb Karens demand water tank repairman clear entire schedule for them, he refuses, forcing them to leave the house

There will always be people in this world who confuse you providing a contracted service for them with you being their full-time employee. What does this phenomenon boil down to at the end of the day? Well, folks, the answer to that is totally pure entitlement. That's what this vacation family of 18 had, specifically the two grandmother Karens who were communicating with this Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit. OP had a side hustle running hot…

‘I can hear the dripping sarcasm from the worker and I’m loving it’: 20-something-year-old Walmart employees give well-deserved sass to whiny Karen customer

‘I can hear the dripping sarcasm from the worker and I’m loving it’: 20-something-year-old Walmart employees give well-deserved sass to whiny Karen customer

It there is one place int he world that tends to be an accidental beacon to Karens, it's Walmart. Who knows what part of that mega store screams “entitlement welcome," but somehow it does. You'd think since most of their employees are either young kids/ adults or retired senior citizens forced back into the workforce that the patrons there would be a little more empathetic, but nope. Karens thrive in this establishment. However, the younger generation is starting to not give any Fs and standing…

'You know what? Keep the schedule. I quit': Pizzeria manager cuts employee's hours because he took one break, employee stands up to him and quits

Most managers with an authority complex end up flexing their muscles when they absolutely have other tasks they should be prioritizing. Perhaps they understand that truth deep down, and as their coping mechanism, it's far easier for them to assert dominance over their employees rather than focus on what they're doing wrong as bosses and why things aren't running smoothly. That is certainly the case with this manager, who decided to cut an employee's hours significantly as a semi-punishment for…

When employees are struggling to get a raise, fighting for overtime pay, nitpicking for a day more of PTO, it really grinds their gears when the out of touch boss asks THEM for money. However, as we all know, the audacity of C-level management and supervisors knows no bounds.

'My classmates knew me as the sleeper': 20+ people confess what they were most known for in high school

'My classmates knew me as the sleeper': 20+ people confess what they were most known for in high school

Everyone has at least ten cringe memories from high school and perhaps a few wholesome ones too. For me, it's mostly cringe but every so often I remember that one time I knocked my Halloween costume out of the park or when I got a big solo in chorus. For the most part, though, I'm just like everyone else. I was known for something, and that was being in the school plays. I was largely protected from ridicule, though, because my theater kid status meant I did have some cooler, older friends. But…

'Choose your battles': Employee refuses to turn off light switch because he clocked out, gets called out in the comments

There is a time and a place to start a squabble with your manager. There are moments when things have gone way too far and you feel like you'll have to stand up for yourself or else you'll be going down a dangerous path, one where you'll be easily manipulated and unfairly mistreated. When those situations arise, you'll know in your bones that it's time to speak up. However, it's important not to confuse these important moments with meaningless ones, and being asked to switch off a light after y…

'This is so embarrassing': Petsitter Karen Crosses the Line and Neglects Owners' Pets

What do you get when you hire a Karen to pet-sit your cats, dogs, and… piranhas? A whole lot of crazy, that's what. From the very first encounter with this Reddit user and his mom, it was clear that Karen was trouble personified. She had a list of demands and complaints that would make any sane person run away. But against their better judgment, they decided to give her a chance, hoping she would prove them wrong. Spoiler alert: she didn't. Things took a fishy turn when he entrusted Karen with…

'Abandoned shopping carts are my pet peeve': Cart narcs unite when a disabled woman publicly shames a shopper by laboriously returning the stranger's cart

Everyone hates when they're trying to finagle a tight spot in a parking lot and their path is blocked by a wayward shopping cart. Is it really so challenging for shoppers to return their carts to the designated areas? Or is walking an extra 20 feet too challenging? Apparently so.

'Their parents overwork them to ensure the A+': Teacher forced to assign extra credit to appease helicopter parents, assigns lengthy tasks to get back at them

When everyone in the class is getting an A, is extra credit really necessary? We've all heard of these kinds of schools where the parents are always the invisible presence in the room. Once upon a time, I used to work as a tutor for high school students and experienced the full range of entitled behavior from students and parents alike. No matter what the specifics were, the grades were never high enough and the essays were never strong enough. The students I had were often (though not always)…
