Entitled neighbor beings parking in homeowner's driveway, still unapologetic after making them late for work: 'My neighbor thinks my driveway is her free parking spot'

Parking disputes are always tricky, and there's a lot of grey area when it comes to who is in the right, especially when it comes to public parking, where it becomes a matter of who pulled up to the spot first and was waiting, which results in a lot of he-said-she-said situations when it comes to who deserves the spot. Similarly, a lot of parking disputes arise in neighborhoods when someone is parking a noisy car or for long periods of time right out in front of your house. Sure, the street is…

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…

'She deserved it': 38-year-old vegan steals Halloween candy from neighbor's kids, neighbor informs her that the candy she has been eating is not vegan

Some people make their own karma, and this entitled parent seems to be one of those people. She decided to do her neighbor a solid and go trick-or-treating with both the neighbor's kids and her own while the neighbor was busy at work. For the purposes of this story, it's important to note that this entitled parent is also a loud-and-proud vegan. Despite the fact that she initially claimed to be taking care of her neighbor's kids out of the goodness of her heart, she decided to impose a “tax' an…

Aunt demands 13-year-old niece's $500 backpack, one of 50 that she owns, starting rift in the family: '[She] thinks I'm being selfish'

There's a whole lot going on in this post that's really difficult to un- pack (hah, get it) and that I really just can't quite wrap my head around. So, let's start here: Why on earth does a 13-year-old need FIFTY backpacks? With a single bag alone costing $500. And why in the heck does a 13-year-old have their own influencer account?.. And where in the heck are they storing all of these backpacks? At the risk of sounding very “old man yelling at clouds here,”… what in the heck is going on with…

‘Pay the fee and I'll drive you home’: Employee demands coworkers for money after months of driving them around for free, they accuse him of being selfish in response

A person's relationship with the people they work with can be tricky to handle. On the one hand, despite seeing them every day, those people are not really your friends, they are simply… people you see every day. On the other hand, and stay with me on this one, these are people you see every day , so you might want to be on good terms with them, and not create an awkward situation at the office. That is why I understand this employee's initial instinct to be kind to his coworkers by offering th…

Kid discovers he's the product of his birth parents' extra-marital affair, they try to go no-contact with him, he gets even by telling their spouses the truth

This kid doesn't know just how iconic he is for doing what he did. After trying to reconnect with his birth father, both of his biological parents sat him down over a video call and asked for his understanding if they go no-contact. Yup, you read that right. For a little backstory, the Redditor was the by-product of an extra-marital affair (both of his biological parents had spouses and stayed with them). He was primarily raised by his mother's grandparents, with his birth father secretly provi…

Mother takes a stand declaring that she won't be attending any events that her 4-year-old and 6-year-old children can't attend: 'I said I wouldn’t attend if my kids weren’t invited'

Everyone likes to think that they're the exception to a rule, usually because they're so certain that they're so much better and smarter than everybody. The reality of the situation couldn't be further from the truth, and the truth is this: If you think you're the exception, the rule exists for you. This couldn't be truer than when it comes to parents who think that their kids should be an exception to “child-free” events, either bringing them anyway without saying anything or making some drama…

'This whole situation is messy': Houseguest who overstayed her welcome "makes a scene" with garden contractors, sibling kicks her out

How long can you live somewhere before you officially call your home? Six months? One year? Three years? It all depends, and that's why u/Holiday_Review_8324 asked the internet to decide if they were in the wrong for kicking out their houseguest . This person shared that they and their fiancee share a home with Amy. Amy is the original poster's sister, and she's been living with them since she was a teen mom (she now has a few kids). After living in a home for four years, you'd probably conside…

Mother forces 16-year-old daughter to go to therapy for not celebrating her stepfather on Father's Day: 'I didn't want another dad'

It's a tricky thing to make someone feel something that they don't feel. And when you're a teen there's so much changing emotionally that it's sometimes hard to make sense of the things you're actually feeling without trying to force it—or having someone gaslighting you and saying that you said something that you never said. When that person is your parent, it makes things a whole lot more complicated; this is the person who is supposed to be showing you the way, and while they probably think t…

Mother and stepfather try to force 16-year-old to take his half and step-siblings to the waterpark with his grandparents: 'She's worried the other kids will feel left out'

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things. Even when the relationships are fairly "traditional" and straightforward, let's be honest: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the families that try and act like things are straightforward are the most likely to be hiding something. When families are more complex, mixed, or “blended” things get even further from simple. And who is…

23-year-old croc-wearing boyfriend draws girlfriend's wrath when he insists on wearing crocs to every occasion, readers are divided on the issue: 'He feels like I am controlling him by asking him not to wear Crocs'

Most of us probably have that item of clothing that we wear whenever we can. When we're wearing it, we feel good, we look good, and most importantly, we are comfortable. As we get older, comfort takes priority, and looking smart is just an added bonus. Of course, if your favorite item of clothing is your Crocs, you're not ever going to look smart, but more power to you because at least you'll look out of place in a nice restaurant in unparalleled comfort.

Karen gets upset about other dogs and their owners during official park "dog party": 'I have a right to be here'

I'm a dog lover and owner, but the first thing that I'll recognize about dog ownership is that a lot of people are wildly irresponsible with and about their pets. Still, it seems almost impossible to get things exactly right in the modern world of dog training and ownership; everywhere you look, there is conflicting advice and strategies that the people pushing them swear you must follow. Some are based on research and empirical evidence, while others are theoretical and hokey. And, yet, even t…

'My stepson damaged my plants': 16-year-old waters stepdad's plants with bleach, stepdad cancels upcoming family trip

Sure, kids make mistakes, but some kids know exactly what they're doing. This 16-year-old, Sean , had a habit of playing innocent pranks on his stepfather, which were mostly allowed as long as they were minor and playful. At one point, he splashed cold water on his stepdad while he was sleeping, which only really became a problem when he posted footage of the prank on social media. His stepdad forced Sean to take down the video, and Sean never really got over it. That's when he decided to play…
