New homeowner installs privacy fence to keep entitled neighbors from inviting themselves over, neighbors hold intervention on his porch: '[They said] I should be more welcoming to them and take my fence down'

Some homeowners have mixed feelings about overly friendly neighbors. It can be nice to have a quick chat, ask them to watch your house when you're out of town, or stop over to borrow a baking dish. But how do you feel about neighbors who constantly find their way into your house unannounced? That's what this new homeowner has been dealing with for the past four months. He's realized he's surrounded by overly friendly neighbors who have no issue walking into his backyard for a chat or going insi…

Boomer mother-in-law demands son doesn't go out to eat so he can save for her retirement: 'Brian save your money, we have no 401k'

This family seems like they might need to clear some things up before their next dinner party. After marrying his wife, the Original Poster (OP) noticed his mother-in-law was always urging him to save his money. At first, he thought she was just looking out for him.

The entitled Boomer mother-in-law accidentally let this information slip when the family was al…

Guy puts in headphones to tune out grocery store Karen who's demanding to cut in line: 'Probably the greatest reaction to an entitled boomer I've seen in years'

Going to the grocery store around rush hour is a universally dreadful experience. You have to maneuver your cart around the tens of people rushing in every which way direction, tired from a long day at work and just trying to get home for dinner. No one is having a pleasant experience. And then you get to the checkout lines. The lanes are never all open at once, with lines piled up at each open register. You think about going to the self-checkout, but those lines are even longer. So, imagine yo…

‘I called him out in front of the entire team’: Boomer delegates all tasks to his team, then calls young employees lazy because they enjoy working from home

‘I called him out in front of the entire team’: Boomer delegates all tasks to his team, then calls young employees lazy because they enjoy working from home

We all have a Harold at the office. Harold grumbles, slams his stapler down with more force than necessary, and is practically a walking relic of the paper-pushing era. “Back in my day, we put in an honest day's work. Eight hours, no questions asked. Not this ‘work-life balance’ nonsense.” You're stuck collaborating with him while he shoots daggers at your laptop screen. He drones on about how working from home is for the lazy, and how it can't be possible to focus without the structure of an o…

gen-x boomer boomers parents parent parenting kids children broke parenting moving-out moving-in vacation lavish finance finances reality money retirement savings debt

Gen X couple grapples with a hard decision after finding out their broke parents planned a lavish vacation: ‘Congratulations, you are now their retirement plan’

When a fully-fledged adult flops financially, they can usually move back in with their parents to bounce back. There's that memorable stigma of the 'wanton failure' moving back in with mom and dad that's been ingrained in our heads since the dawn of rom-com rock bottom movie intro. But none of us are ever prepared for the moment that our parents move back in with the kids.

'Don't take reviews as payment': Neighbor offers next-to-nothing in exchange for an unpaid laborer to reroof his entire home, making Nextdoor users question everything

Nextdoor is a place where Karens and Kevins can be truly free. Since it's essentially a zip-code mitigated version of Twitter, most users are only here for a handful of reasons: their pet is missing, informal noise complaints, unofficial vigilante work, and the occasional good ol' fashioned neighborly grift. If you're not scamming your neighbors on Nextdoor, can you even call yourself a real grifter?

adult millennial daughter blows up at her boomer mom who owns a multi-million dollar business because her mom says "young people don't want to work anymore" but then only pays them $12 an hour and refuses to raise the wage

‘Your generation is so out-of-touch with what the going rate is for everything’: Grown millennial gives her boomer mom a piece of her mind after hearing her complain about how “nobody wants to work anymore”

There is no arguing that the work culture that the boomers got started in is completely different than what it is now. Millennials and even older Gen Z are not happy with the mess the baby boomers have left us . We are exploited, abused, and simply put, not paid even remotely enough. After rent, groceries, gas, and other living necessary bills and expenses, we hardly have anything left of our salary. Lucky for us, unlucky for boomers, millennials and Gen Z workers have woken up and are starting…

It is another classic boomer vs millennial dilemma . Here we have a millennial son-in-law having to stand up for his generation (yet again) to his boomer mother-in-law who calls anybody younger than her a millennial, and millennials are lazy folk who don't want to work. This story takes place in an amusement park. A millennial family with the boomer grandparents included, took a spring vacation to an amusement park. The park had just opened for the season, so it wasn't as full of visitors, but…

‘I’m literally throwing up at work': Millennial employee gets accused of faking sickness to get out of work, boss threatens to fire them if they don't finish their shift

Older generations think that millennials and Gen Z have no work ethic. Obviously that's not true across the board, it's just that younger folks aren't inclined to work for jobs with no benefits, living wages, or humanity. One millennial recently got accused of faking being sick at work to get out of his shift, even though he had a fever, chills, and was violently ill in the bathroom.
