There's nothing like a bitter landlord-tenant dispute to make you feel better about your living situation (if you can). The business of returning one's security deposit in full is almost always a stressful process. You may try your best to keep your apartment in perfect living condition, but things happen over time and your property management may be ruthless in their decision-making. Now, there are ways in which you can be lucky and get out of conflict. A friend of mine had tried their best to…

Finding a job is hard enough, it is impossible to imagine how it must feel to get hired and fired on the same day. To go through the emotions of excitement and relief of finally securing a job, only for those feelings to quickly change to grief and despair when it is yet again taken from you. I feel for the employee in this Reddit story, who even after they secured a job, arrived on their first day, and signed a contract, still got fired by the end of the day. After OP (original poster) got hom…

Well, that's one way to do it.

There are some pretty embarrassing ways to get fired from one's job. Typically, everyone worries about the reaction from the person getting booted. Will they make a scene? Will they get hostile? Will they call their boss out on their complete lack of adequate management skills? However. more often than not, we come across stories where the people doing the firing should really be the ones who are embarrassed. Here, we have an employee who logged onto a Zoom call with HR. Just when they mentione…

The best part of this story is that his wife tries to act like she didn't sign a new contract.

Let's be real for a second, the best type of neighbors are those who you barely even notice are there. There is no need for pleasantries or friendships, all we need is peace and quiet, and the neighborhood will become a much better place. But as much as you can hope for these kinds of neighbors, chances are you are going to get stuck with the exact opposite. Neighbors with loud kids, or uneducated dogs, people who do not care about the noise they make or how miserable everyone else is because o…

Who doesn't wish they had the audacity to expect expensive clothes for free just a little bit? Obviously, we all want to be grounded, mature, and self-aware individuals in theory, but every so often, it would be nice to have the guts of an entitled choosing beggar. In this case, the Karen in question did not exactly get what she wanted, but she really did think she was entitled to it. The Redditor posted two coats they were planning to give away: one of those coats was, in fact, for free while…

Getting fired is one thing, but not receiving your final paycheck is a whole other ballgame. Here, we have a former employee who was unjustly dismissed by his former boss after calling out the rampant and consistent wage theft practices at the company. Now, he is considering filing a class-action lawsuit along with several mistreated former employees because his boss tried to get away with never sending this guy's final paycheck. It's easy sometimes to accept this kind of treatment due to the v…

Once the family got a little too comfortable in their host's home, things got stickier than the kid's table mac and cheese spilled on their opulent Berber rug

Unlike the piles of old newspapers he was accustomed to receiving from Mom, now all he gets are cute photos texted to him of his mom grinning next to a rubber duck.

When the HOA goes low, you go lower.

Imagine going through the entire job application, interview, and salary negotiation process only to discover that your actual job has far more responsibilities and expectations than you were anticipating. This new hire spent thousands of dollars relocating to a new city in order to be a communications assistant. He had negotiated his salary to reflect the typical range for a position of that nature. However, after beginning the job, he learned that he was the head of the entire communications d…

Colleges and universities should really offer students a course in job searching, because there are people out there who enter the real world with no idea what they should look for and how, and they end up making mistakes that could have been avoided. After a few classes in resume writing and interviewing, one of the lessons in job searching should be about the process of accepting a job, and the terms that should always be written in the offer letter. For example, the pay – Never accept a job…

People come in different varieties, and each one is distinct. Some people are compassionate, and some are greedy, but the worst people are without a doubt those who have an entitlement complex. The story below is an account of a bewildered man. For many years, the original poster (OP) had been renting a home for ten to fourteen days in August in Ontario, Canada, along a river. The lease includes private decking with a hot tub, a furnished gazebo, and exclusive usage of a cottage. These quick tr…

Imagine signing onto a part-time job only to learn that the people running the store are incompetent high school graduates. It's not that these 18-year-olds are not capable of running a business one day, but as of now, the total lack of professionalism is on full display. It's already pretty awkward to work for someone far younger than you, but that's something the Redditor could get past. Otherwise, they would not have signed onto the position in the first place. What made this job particularl…
