'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

'Time is money': New boss enforces efficiency policy, backfires as employees start making mistakes, boss's job is on the line

'Time is money': New boss enforces efficiency policy, backfires as employees start making mistakes, boss's job is on the line

Sometimes, the best kind of leadership is stepping back when things are working perfectly fine. Here, we have a new boss who came from a more fast-paced startup environment. He decided that the best way to get his team members to like him was by enforcing an entirely new policy without their input that would prioritize efficiency over everything else, including quality. This was the kind of guy who didn't like any hint of hesitation, so this Redditor complied, albeit maliciously. He knew that a…

worker drive employee carpool work coworkers fire Office mildly infuriating entitled Reddit mess - 37537797

'I gave him an ultimatum': Employee refuses to drive messy co-worker anymore, co-worker gets fired for chronic lateness and blames former carpool buddy

When one employee offered his younger, well-liked coworker a ride to work, he thought he was just doing a small favor. But things took a turn when his passenger started showing up every day with food and drinks, leaving wrappers, cans, and crumbs all over the car. The driver, a self-admitted neat freak, tried to handle it politely, repeatedly asking his coworker to clean up after himself. Despite multiple promises, the mess only grew, with empty cans and wrappers piling up, even attracting ants…

30+ Funny Signs Worthy of a Double Take: 'Burglars, please carry ID so we can notify next of kin'

Some signs are meant to be read into, dissected, and taken seriously. These signs do not fall into that category. Instead, this collection of photos often captures those strange moments in life when you come across a sign or poster that makes you do a double take. You ask yourself if you read that correctly and then check again for confirmation. It turns out you did read it correctly, which can only mean one of two things. The first is that this was a total mistake on the part of the sorry indi…

Here is yet another tale of an entitled parent making their kid's wedding festivities entirely about them. However, for once, the bride and groom managed to win out in the end. Let's start with a little backstory. The Redditor had a tumultuous relationship with her brother and his wife that resulted in a mutual understanding that they would not be attending the Redditor's upcoming nuptials… that is, until their entitled Karen Mommy decided to intervene.

Resident gets fed up with workers blocking his driveway with cars, so he cleverly blocks them in return, leading to a dispute when they try to leave: ‘I completely lost it at them’

Resident gets fed up with workers blocking his driveway with cars, so he cleverly blocks them in return, leading to a dispute when they try to leave: ‘I completely lost it at them’

If you live in a private house, you must have had at least a few problems with other people blocking the entrance to your house, specifically your driveway. In areas where parking spots are few and far between, you might constantly find yourself bickering with neighbors about who can park where, and that can drive anyone up the wall. Nobody can blame the resident who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) for how they handled a similar situation with the construction workers in the neigh…

'I won't do business with family': Entitled fully grown uncle tries to convince nephew to co-sign on a loan for a new home, nephew refuses causing family drama

Drawing boundaries with family members is often a necessity. It's not fun to do, but if you don't do it, people are going to rely on you well into their adult years, when they are supposed to be independent. Here , we're not dealing with an overly kind and compromising parent to a needy adult man-child, which is often the case when we come across these stories. Instead, we're dealing with an overly kind and compromising nephew to an even more childish and messy uncle. This uncle had a series of…

'I wasn't going to sign something that wasn't my fault': Micromanager tries to shame barista for leaving work due to family emergency despite advanced warning

It should come as no surprise to any manager that every once in a while, someone on your team is going to need to call out sick or miss work because of unforeseen circumstances. If the team is well-managed, things should be fine, nothing should implode, and it should be pretty easy to find another coworker to temporarily pick up the slack if necessary. However, if the team is not well-managed, it's easy for everything to fall apart and for the flaws in management to become grossly apparent. Her…

'Take up 7 seats?': 40-year-old Karen lets kids take up too much space on crowded train, passenger gives Karen a tough time for the next 20 minutes

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

Automation employee gets back at entitled boss by adding a code line to company's budget sheet that makes it impossible to give boss a raise: ‘I don't feel guilty’

Nothing is more satisfying than using the knowledge you worked so hard to gain for something that gives you joy. And you may call us petty, but sometimes that joy comes from revenge on someone who truly deserves it. Working in anything related to computer science is as good as having a superpower, you can use your knowledge to do just about anything. The employee in this Reddit story proved that with just one code line, you can really mess with someone's life, and OP (original poster) gained a…

'No employee is allowed to work from home': Remote employee forced to come in unexpectedly despite medical issues, boss won't return his phone calls

Enforcing new work policies on employees out of nowhere and without notice is bound to lead to some pushback. Contrary to the beliefs of bosses of a certain generation, not every fully remote or hybrid employee enjoys their situation because of laziness. Sometimes, it's about commuting. Sometimes, it's about the nature of their work and daily responsibilities. Other times, it's a medical issue, which is consistent with this Redditor's experience. After working remotely at a small company of und…

Resident refuses to stain neighbor's new fence after accidentally removing the old one and replacing it for free, leading to a dispute: ‘He's trying to take me for a ride’

Many people live by the rule of – 'I rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission', and while that rule is helpful in some cases, you should be careful about who you try it with and how. For example, if a kid wants to go out with friends and they don't know if their mom will let them, then sure, they can try the forgiveness over permission thing, worst that will happen is maybe they'll be grounded for a few days. But as adults, your actions have a lot more consequences and a lot more risk…

'Don't mess with food safety': Entitled bride and groom tried to serve old dried fish to 300+ wedding guests, venue rejects them

One should not be allowed to have a massive wedding ceremony if one wants to serve one's guests of more than 300 friends and family members a bunch of old, dried fish. This entitled bride and groom attempted to allow the caterers and venue to serve fish that had been sitting outside for upwards of five hours. The caterers rejected this and deemed it to be a food safety issue and a violation of the contract the couple had signed. However, once the wedding reception began, the groom doubled down…
