Neighbors legally have no say on what the folks next door do with their land. So if you're in the midst of a neighborly feud and a grouchy ol' porch surfer is giving you a hard time about your garden decor, you could easily (and legally) say that that's gnome of their business.

There are people in this world who have found a way to be simultaneously desperate and demanding. Whether it's negotiating a purchase or severely underpaying someone, the choosing beggars of the world still always manage to find ways to surprise us here at FAIL Blog. You always think you've seen it all until someone offers to pay a babysitter less than $3 an hour. It can be difficult to call choosing beggars out on their nonsense. Firstly, you have to be stern and confident. You have to know th…

In case you haven't learned this already, it's your landlord's world and you are unfortunately living in it. Yes, in this day and age, it seems like landlords are becoming even more unnecessarily powerful than they should be and are capitalizing on that power as much as they can. This collection of top landlord stories from Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit only brings back haunting memories of my first New York apartment, the unstoppable ceiling leakage, and the unsolvable roach infestation. B…

Most parents teach their children about having respect for other people, but occasionally, you'll come across one or two who refuse to acknowledge that their kids need to learn a lesson. It's as if they are some untouchable species that could never do anything even remotely annoying or entitled or inappropriate. But we all know that kids can be all of those things. In fact, they are likely to lean into those qualities if no one calls them out, and it's preferable that their parents should be th…

It's not new knowledge that AirBNB has been on the steady decline. It's more than just shoddy hosts trying to pull some sketchy things. It's also AirBNB host coming in and jacking up living prices and buying up houses that could have been a lovely home. Long gone are the days where AirBNB is romanticized. Now, we harken back the days of hotel, motel, Holiday Inn (cue Bogus Trizzy song). Here is another example (out of many floating around the internet) of an unsatisfied AirBNB customer. This wo…

Ready to get woke, sheeple? America has been kind of going in the gutter for several decades now, to say the least. There is a housing crisis like no other and the price gouging because of “inflation” is simply out of control. Don't even get us started on how little the government “helps” the families in this country. The conversation around minimum wage in the U.S. as exploded on Reddit and Redditors are providing a “woke” commentary. A small town/small factory worker took to Reddit simply to…

If you have ever worked as a phone salesperson, then you know how horrible it is. If you enjoy it, then you work at a company that is unique and cares about their employees and customers or you are a sadist. Because most of the time, these companies hired to sell products for even larger companies pay minimum wage, make employees upsell unnecessary items to work off of commission, and most don't even offer benefits. Imagine it, you're talking to someone who has to be pretty old because they sti…

We know all too well at this point that HOA sagas can be drawn out for what seems like an eternity. Recently, a friend and her partner were unjustly fined for using an incorrectly installed air conditioner that was built by the prior tenant, who of course had not been fined. However, it did not matter who installed the air conditioner. The fact that someone discovered the installation went against the rules not long after they moved in and started using it was enough to hand out an intense fine…

Some people just want to watch the world burn. But when you're the one guy who's only job is to prevent destruction from consuming the job site, that's exactly what you're trying to avoid. For some supervisors, especially the arrogant kind with a ‘i-can-do-no-wrong' attitude, being the safety guy at a construction site doesn't actually mean anything. They just want to trot around, puff their chest, and tell everyone what to do– even if it's the wrong call.

Here is a cautionary tale for the demanding entitled Kevins out there who don't even realize that they're actively making enemies out of the people who are working for them. You know that there are more of these guys out there than just Pat. Pat was a friend of a friend to this Redditor , who therefore felt obligated to continue working for him. The Redditor would perform household duties as a side hustle outside of his full-time job. Pat is the kind of guy who would make demands out of nowhere…

In a thread that went viral, users were asked, "What would you name a newborn child if you really, really wanted to ruin their life, but wanted to maintain plausible deniability about having done it on purpose?" Oddly specific, but we're here for it. The responses were as entertaining as they were bizarre. People shared names that ranged from whimsical and fantastical to downright hilarious. On this side of the internet, traditional naming conventions are thrown out the window...

Roofing is an extremely dangerous job that is completely underrated in just how dangerous it is. Roofers are another breed, man. It's not only dangerous because you're literally working on something where if you make one false move or bad step, you could lose the use of your legs. But it is also dangerous because often times they don't even have benefits, pensions, healthcare, etc. It's absolutely absurd. The leading driver for OSHA fines as been the lack of fall protection for several years no…

Some forms of petty revenge are subtle, some are overt, and others are fishy. This story very much falls in the lattermost category… First of all, we all know what happens when you cook seafood. Unless you clean your kitchen and throw out your trash pretty much as soon as you're done eating, your place is going to stink . Well, this Redditor had to experience this awful stench not because he messed up but because his Dad's girlfriend was being petty. While OP was out of town over a three-day we…

Surgery is expensive in America. Sometimes insurance covers a little bit here and there, but if they don't, you could be looking at a hefty bill with a couple commas in the total balance. That's why, when this teenaged girl was diagnosed with benign tumors in her breast, she wasn't jumping for joy like most people do when they find out they're cancer-free...

Parenting is a wild ride full of unexpected turns and decisions you never thought you'd have to make. In 2023, there are countless books, classes, online resources, and more to help you parent the best you can parent. But back the day, say the 1980s, it was a kind of “figure it out for yourself” thing. Sure you had other moms to give you advice and maybe a book or two from the library, but the psychology done on parenting was not something to be desired quite yet. So many moms just mom'd by fol…

It doesn't matter what your line of work is. It doesn't matter if you work in an office, in a restaurant, in a warehouse, or remotely. Chances are you have dealt with an unruly and/or bizarre coworker. Perhaps in the moment, your experience with this person was a cringeworthy one. Perhaps it did not end well for you or for them. However, provided that you came out unscathed, you probably are grateful to have the story. Some of these coworkers range from the unethical to the strange. For instanc…
