If you've ever wondered what you could do to make a pizza parlor blacklist you, check out this story. I know what you're thinking: what do you mean you can get blacklisted by a pizza place? Aren't they supposed to deliver to wherever you tell them to when you place your order? I was surprised to learn that they can and will ban people from ever ordering again.

'I looked at him, laughed, and turned off the snow blower': Neighbors watch as dude shovels their shared driveway for five hours

Snow shoveling is hard work, but these neighbors don't care. If they can be cozy in their home while this OP does all the heavy lifting, that's perfectly fine with them. Out of all the outdoor chores, shoveling snow is a lot of people's least favorite task. At least when you rake leaves, they're pretty light! Snow is heavy and bulky, so you get sweaty and tired out instantly. The dude in this petty revenge tale didn't shovel for just an hour or two. No, instead, they had to clear out their driv…

Landlord refuses to maintain apartment, tenant gets free laundry thanks to technical loophole: 'He lost quite a bit of money'

Submitting requests to your landlord for basic maintenance and repairs is pretty similar to trying to get reimbursement from an airline for that hotel you had to book when they stranded you in a strange city because of maintenance issues. And that similarity is that it's impossible; try and plead as you might, it's never going to happen. They're both going to ignore your request for as long as possible while redirecting and gaslighting you, just hoping that you give up and stop asking them.

'That's 14 people in a small kitchen': Landlord brings young children to apartment showings at the home of another couple with youngsters, tenants complain she's being 'very unprofessional'

How would you feel if you knew your landlord was bringing a baby and a toddler to your place while she showed it to prospective tenants?

As a parent, you love your kid more than anything else, and you think everything they do is cute and sweet and perfect. Even though you're head over heels in love with them, not everyone is as enamored with your little ones' antics. Parents…

'I opened the door and told her that she needs to wait 29 minutes': Fed-up tenant starts holding landlady to strict rules, landlady says they're "wasting her time"

Moving to a new place is stressful enough as it is. There's no need for your landlady to add additional stressors onto you. Almost everyone has a landlord or landlady horror story to share. A lot of them might seem nice, but when it comes to a broken dishwasher or a noise complaint, suddenly they're nowhere to be found. Being ghosted by your own landlord is such a universal experience. It's like the phrase, “Hey, the hot water has been off for two days now” are a magical spell that will cause t…
