'I can't cover you, sorry': Freeloading best friend gets called out at group dinner for never paying her fair share of the bill

Every adult has had a friend whose selfish behavior needs to be called out. Perhaps you don't have the guts to be the person to call an intervention, but you know the clock is ticking and someone is going to give this friend a piece of their mind at some point soon. Here, we have a Redditor who knew one of their friends named Sarah had an ongoing habit of conveniently “forgetting” her wallet when it was time to pay the bill at the end of a group dinner. She also had a habit of “forgetting” to p…

This family is having a major argument over what to eat for a holiday meal ! Each family has their own unique traditions and menus for their holidays. For many people, the meat depends on the holiday: for some, ham is reserved for Easter, while cooking a big turkey is reserved for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You've got to have a lot of side dishes too: many people eat mashed potatoes, green beans, cornbread, cranberry sauce, collard greens, sweet yams, beans, or myriad other dishes. That way, e…

‘You're bringing tension to the office’: Employee confronts new hire after they refused to listen to her training, new hire claims they can figure out everything on their own

In every scenario, there can be more than one way to do things correctly, especially when it comes to work. Not everyone, even if they have the same role, does everything in the exact same way, and that is completely reasonable. Every employee finds their own rhythm and methods to do their job, and as long as the job gets done well, there shouldn't be any problems. When a new hire comes in, it makes sense that they would turn to their coworkers for guidance, but it is not a necessity. If they f…

Online community members back employee for refusing to give vacation days to their coworker for her honeymoon: 'She wasn't happy and told me I was being selfish'

When you're planning the biggest event of your life, what is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime event, it's important to make sure you actually get to the planning part of it and not just leave essential parts to chance… this, coming from someone who is notoriously poor at planning beyond the end of the week. If you want to go on a trip that is going to require you to take time off work, you should probably make sure you request the time off work first so that you're not stuck with an already booked…

Rural homeowner flies off the handle when she sees a drone hovering over her property, wonders if she's wrong: 'People don't like it when strange men fly drones over their fenced backyards'

There's nothing better than being in your own home and experiencing what it feels like to be utterly and completely alone, with no one around to perceive you, judge you, or otherwise consider your existence and what you might happen to be doing. Hanging out enjoying a peaceful afternoon doing some home maintenance outside, and suddenly your ears are bombarded by an infernal whirring outside as if 10,000 angry bees have suddenly descended upon the peace you were enjoying, and looking up, you see…

Tenants demand to stop paying rent after discovering their roommate is the landlord, leading to a dispute about how they found out: ‘They went through my mail’

There is a big difference between living with roommates and having a landlord and living with your landlord as a roommate. Nobody wants to do the latter, for starters. Having roommates is hard enough, imagine how unbearable it would be to have your landlord as a roommate, watching over your every move. If you are a landlord, and you are looking for roommates, I would definitely recommend telling them what they are walking into, because they deserve to know. That is what I would tell the girl in…

25-year-old cousin gets sued after throwing similarly-aged woman in pool ruining her brand-new $6k hearing aids: 'He refused to pay, so I took him to court. I won'

Growing up and embracing maturity is hard—and especially hard for some. Accepting that your age and responsibility means that you need to leave some behaviors behind can be tough. This is usually associated with things like realizing that you can't walk away from crashing your mountain bike into a tree like you used to. Not only that, there's a chance that you might even seriously injure yourself gardening, which will take weeks or months to recover from. But this applies to social interactions…

Boyfriend insists on receiving 2/3 of woman's lottery winnings for his dog, demanding an additional $10k: 'My boyfriend is now dead serious about wanting me to give [him] "Baxter’s share" of the money'

We all get a little weird and crazy about our pets; that's part of what you sign up for when you devote a significant portion of your time, energy, and financial resources to a fluffy little ball of chaos living with you in your home. I'd argue that, in fact, the entire concept is a little bit crazy, and if you weren't already when you decided to get a furry friend, I promise you that you will soon be driven so. Still, no matter how much we consider our pets members of our families, even the mo…

Roommate locks her food in a pantry after discovering someone keeps eating it behind her back, entitled roommate gets offended: ‘You're treating me like a child'

Anyone who has ever lived with another person had to deal with some kind of drama related to food. It is simply unavoidable. We are all so specific about our food, what, when, where, and how we eat, so when someone else gets thrown into the mix, chaos is bound to ensue. There are a few different approaches when it comes to food in a shared space. You can either buy everything together and split the costs, you can share nothing and have each of you buy their own food and keep it completely separ…

These two friends aren't going to be on speaking terms for much longer… It's hard watching your friends make the wrong choices in life. You love them and want the best for them, but they'd rather date some awful dude or stay at a job that they hate. It's always easier to judge someone when you're not in their shoes, but when it's your friend, you have to be cautious with what you say. Otherwise, you risk offending them and losing their trust. If you flip out when they tell you personal news jus…

Resident refuses to let neighbors drive on their private road, then gets a call from district official telling them ‘it’s not nice' to deny access: ‘I'm not obligated to be nice’

Surely we've all had that inner conflict between being kind to others and being true to ourselves, and it's hard to find the right balance between the two. On one hand, you want to do good and help other people however you can, while on the other hand, that help can come with a price, a price that you might not feel ready to pay. The couple in this story bought a secluded house because they wanted as much privacy as they could get, and they were pretty happy about their purchase. That was until…

Some managers are so obsessed with keeping their workplace running that they start treating the workers like they're robots instead of human beings. Robots never need a break, but humans do. Robots have no feelings, but people can be bothered by incessant demands from their bosses . That's why many companies provide…
