If you suddenly showed up at your sibling's home and asked to live with them for 10 months, it would make things awkward, that's for certain. You can't just ask someone to live with them for that long without having a big discussion about what it would mean for you both. And this woman isn't just asking her brother to stay there alone… she wants to bring her entire family , including her two young children. While we always want to be there for the family members we adore, living with someone is…

These family members are upset after rejecting a vacation, only to learn it was going to be way better than they expected. The job of planning a vacation goes to u/Ok_Clue_6722, as they explained to r/AmItheA******. Yet somehow, he's the one who planned an entire trip, only to leave out two family members in a less-than-subtle jab at them. Up next, these anonymous people online had some incredibly silly suggestions to make hospitals better, like one person who suggested that we should “ Call al…

There’s no wrong time to visit your favorite amusement park … right? Wrong! There are in fact some times that are less than ideal to visit a fun destination, but not everyone agrees on when it becomes an issue. Just ask one person who was upset that their vacation to Disney was being stifled by some inclement weather. Disney vacations are not cheap, and some families save for years or go into debt in order to visit. It’s a magical trip that parents love doing with their kids. Imagine you save u…

It doesn't hurt to be nice or at least kind to people who are just doing their job. Oftentimes, your complaint with their service will have more to do with the organization and its cost-saving policies rather than with the individual themself. And this is important to remember because a lot of people—well, they don't think about it at all. Customer service agents are no strangers to verbal mistreatment from customers. Don't get it wrong; customer service agents can be prone to being just as mis…

Humans are often creatures of habit, meaning they like things done a certain way even if it doesn't make sense or is financially beneficial in the long run. The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) had been employed by the same business for a considerable amount of time. He must occasionally fly for work-related meetings as part of his profession. Therefore, OP prefers to usually plan the trip on his own, without the assistance of a travel agency, in an e…

This mom is wondering if she's actually being petty… or if she's just raising a teenager . It seems like most parents are clueless when it comes to their teenagers: there's no amount of research or preparation that can prepare you for that stage of your kid's life. You start off with a baby, then a toddler who's your little bestie. Then they turn into a sweet kid who loves to hang out with you. Then one day, that kid becomes a teenager, and all bets are off. They might act out or refuse to do a…

While on a work trip to the Big Apple, this person decided to do some fancy dining on their workplace's dime. That's quite the perk if you can get it! The food in New York is truly incredible, as any visitor or resident of the city can tell you. You've got to try the pizza of course, but there are tons of sandwich shops and ice cream parlors and a dizzying array of other foods that are delectable. You really can't go wrong! This person was traveling to the city's Theater District , which is ful…

Oh, you have to be at the airport in 90 minutes, but you have time for a sit-down meal at a restaurant? Tell me more. Tell me why you think that's a good choice. International flights can cause long lines to get through security---these notoriously take ages to get through. Oh, you're only 25 minutes from the airport? I'm sure there will be no traffic, red lights, or slow drivers to stop you from getting on your flight. Truly, if you decide to have a sit-down meal outside the airport when you h…

When it rains, it pours, as a few ill-fated travelers know all too well. Sometimes you can do literally everything right while en route to your destination , and things will still go wrong. One dude found that out when they left early for the airpor t. First, they got stalled by a train that decided to park on the tracks for a full hour! That was followed up by a comedy of errors, leading to them missing their flight. There was just no way to get around that train, and how could they have ever…

Make sure to read those online reviews before you book a hotel . It might save you some time and money! Or, like these people below, it might spare you the myriad issues that can occur in a hotel, from bedbugs to awful breakfast menus. I feel for the staffers at the “pool room” hotel (see #2). As you can see in the photo, there's a pool table on top of what looks like a covered-up swimming pool. The staffers must constantly have angry guests yelling about the pool room not having a pool. They c…

After their boss vetoed their preferred method of travel, this worker got the last laugh. Next, check out these folks who were rather uninformed about some crucial things in life, like the cook who “once served ‘rare’ chicken.”

When traveling, whether it's for business purposes between states or a long-distance trip to the chilly alpine slopes of Switzerland, it's necessary to adhere to airline etiquette. The story below is an account of a frustrated traveler. The original poster (OP) had just returned home to Seattle from Florida. In the story that follows, OP describes his interaction with an entitled couple who attempted to steal his designated seat. They tried to claim the seats as their own at first, but when tha…

As a tourist in a country you've never set foot in before, making a few language mistakes is inevitable. Lots of people will study up on the language before they ever set foot on a plane, but even so, it's way different in person. You can read a little translation book all you want, but when a local speaks to you, you're probably going to be stumped. These days, a lot of cell phones can instantly translate for us, but even then, there are bound to be a few mistakes along the way. In a lot of Eu…

All drivers must drive cautiously and with proper road etiquette in order to maintain highway harmony. This applies to people who operate motor vehicles of any kind, including cars, trains, buses, motorbikes, and others. The story below is an account of a frustrated motorcycle driver. While traveling cross-country, the original poster (OP) encountered another traveler who was attempting to cross the border. At first, all seemed to be moving along quite well, but when OP decided to utilize his m…

Don't steal someone's seat unless you're prepared for a little backlash.

Parents who travel with young kids deserve a medal of some sort. Going to the airport as an adult can be a stressful experience on its own, let alone bringing along your 15-month-old who loves screaming and throwing handfuls of Cheerios. Lots of people will see your kiddo and give you a smile, because kids are super cute. What's less cute is a toddler who is on your actual flight . The little ones just can't sit still! They want to run around and play. They can't understand why they're expected…
