"He seems to be expecting this money from us. We are willing to pay a portion but I personally feel swindled."

This mastermind really committed to his payback. After moving into an HOA community and almost immediately getting violations (albeit unfairly) for not having a “green enough” lawn and for keeping his trash cans too close to his driveway, he decided to embark on some next-level petty revenge that ultimately managed to be the best thing for the community at large. Essentially, the Redditor decided to join the local homeowner's association and, one by one, plotted to replace the “bad apple” board…

Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, how have you made it this far in life with such little intelligence? For your sake, we hope you haven't. But sometimes you are around a person with so few brain cells, you can't help but mentally facepalm at some of the things that come out of their mouth. With that being said, get ready to be amazed (and a little horrified) by these 30+ ridiculously simple things that somehow needed explaining to grown adults. It's like the universe has a twis…

Being a Chatty Cathy is a blessing and a curse in the workplace. On the one hand, people do tend to enjoy the humorous personality in the office as well as the person who's simply easier to talk to than most. That being said, if you're the type of person who cannot read social cues or understand when a conversation should end, your coworkers are going to avoid having to chat with you at all costs. We feel for this Chatty Cath y because it does not seem like things were entirely her fault. Other…

His dog fell ill the last time he used weed eliminator spray.

After remaining loyal to a company for several years, what would be the final straw for you to call it quits? If you don't have any work drama, the most common answer is probably for a better salary elsewhere. Lots of employees boast about job hopping in their early career in order to reach a desired salary. Some even claim that it's the only way to significantly increase their earnings, as a lot of jobs don't give regular raises, and if they do, they are hardly enough to keep up with inflati...

There is a downside to not fulfilling your basic duties and responsibilities at work. This receptionist repeatedly made making travel arrangements difficult for their boss, often leaving things to the last minute when flights were either entirely booked or incredibly expensive. Despite multiple polite conversations about her needing to improve her efficiency regarding booking travel, the pattern did not improve. What's remarkably amusing about this is that when the Redditor went off to start th…

Ah, the never-ending tale of roommate drama. Is there anyone on this Earth who has zero roommate drama in their lifetimes? Whether you live with siblings, a best friend, or a romantic partner, you probably have a story or two about when typical roommate annoyances intensified the drama in your relationship. Hopefully, it's nothing as crazy as what this man had to endure.

Usually, newly hired employees are given a break during their first week. The first few days are typically about getting settled in, meeting your coworkers, and adjusting to the company culture. However, here, we have a new hire who was almost immediately tasked with buying donuts for everyone at the company. Apparently, there were two annoying coworkers at the office who chose different people each week to pick on and bother incessantly until they gave in and got everyone donuts. You would thi…

With the rise of fitness influencer culture on social media, there are all kinds of tips and tricks to stay healthy and feel your best; it's almost intimidating. From eating strict keto diets to tracking your macros and participating in 75 hard (seriously, who comes up with this stuff?), it can feel impossible to keep up with the trends. This guy tracks his food intake to the max, accounting for macros, micros, fiber, calories, and everything else we didn't even know we should be paying attenti…

It's always frustrating when someone from corporate swoops down out of nowhere to boss you around. Here, we have a part-time worker at a delivery company who was lectured by an obnoxious Karen from corporate that he had to park his bike in their “correct” spot. Even the worker's immediate supervisor suggested that he ignore the Karen's mandate in certain situations as she likely would not notice, but this worker wanted to prove to the Karen why her unnecessary enforcing of this rule could backf…

Every person, in every aspect of life, has a breaking point. Whether it is with their job, family, partners, or friends. There is always a point that should not be crossed, and if it does, that is usually a sign that things have to change, fast. When you reach that breaking point at work, that usually means that you have to quit and look for a new workplace. There are people though, who look at that solution as a weakness, as if quitting your job because you are unhappy, is a sign that you are…

Keeping a friendly rapport with your landlord is essential if you want to make the most out of your stay. And yet, how would you feel if your landlord threatened to call the authorities if you didn't leave the dryer and washing machine behind? The story below is an account of a bewildered tenant. The original poster (OP) had just moved out of her apartment. After living in the same apartment for a considerable amount of time, OP had decided that it was finally time for a change of scenery. So,…

Talk about an unfortunate day for this marketing assistant! She was doing her job and answering phone calls when she spoke to a job candidate… for her position. Of course, the assistant was completely unaware that her position was even up for grabs because that's just how non-confrontational her boss was. Instead, she had the pleasure of finding out that she was on her way to being replaced by hearing it directly from her potential replacement. We also would like to extend some sympathy to the…

When employees end up leaving their jobs, more often than not, they don't leave because of the job itself, they leave because of the people there, or more specifically, because of their boss. It can be really disappointing to actually enjoy your job but feel like you have to leave because you cannot work with the people around you. The employee in this Reddit story felt like they had no choice but to leave precisely because of these reasons. After OP (original poster) got skipped over a big pro…
