‘She kept lying to us’: Home buyers fire agent after she refuses to submit their application to a seller despite their wishes, nearly costing them their dream house

‘She kept lying to us’: Home buyers fire agent after she refuses to submit their application to a seller despite their wishes, nearly costing them their dream house

When you are a kid, there are many things adults do that just seem impossible for your little brain to comprehend. How do adults understand every road sign they see while they are driving? How do they know where to go when they are abroad? How do they pay taxes? How do they buy a house? Granted, as a 26-year-old woman, I still have absolutely no idea how adults do most of the stuff they do, and I am sure I am not the only one. How really does one even begin the process of looking for a house to…

‘He threw the laptop on the ground’: Employees Share Most Amusing Customer Encounters at Work

‘He threw the laptop on the ground’: Employees Share Most Amusing Customer Encounters at Work

Customers are super amusing… some of them will assume you can give them stuff for free, while others think they can talk to you however they like because their mother told them that they were 'very special'. Customer service is the worst, and you really get to see another side to humanity that you might not encounter on your regular day-to-day basis. It's no surprise that most of the world's population isn't the greatest, but sometimes you do meet some pretty awesome folk. Below you'll find a h…

'We bid $45k over asking... [but] personal connections mattered more': Influential realtor closes the deal for a first time home buyer, even though they weren't the highest bidder

When you're not born into wealth, it's easy to be skeptical of the whole ‘it’s who you know, not what you know' philosophy in the working world. Although we've all seen nepo-babies rise to the top with nothing but a silver spoon and a pair of coattails to ride, most working folks don't fully realize the power of connections until we witness it in action.

'His friends are wheezing from laughter at this point': Customer tries to outsmart store policy, embarrasses himself in front of cashier and friends

'His friends are wheezing from laughter at this point': Customer tries to outsmart store policy, embarrasses himself in front of cashier and friends

You buy it, you break it … wait, that's not right. A lot of stores have the policy of making you purchase an item if you break it. It's often found at antique stores or vintage shops, or other shops that are crammed with fragile items. Some of them make you carry your backpack on the front of your body, or leave your bags up front, to make sure you don't accidentally swipe something off a shelf. Accidents happen, and sometimes things just topple to the ground, making for an irritating purchase…

'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

These people had buying experiences that were so bad, they had to share it with the world. And thank goodness they did, because now we know a bunch of items that just aren't worth wasting money on. Buying a new thing only to have it not work is infuriating. Lately I've stopped buying things from the billion-dollar company named after a rainforest, because the stuff I get from there just does not work. You really do get what you pay for, sadly. I bought a few headphone accessories from one selle…

'I would rather not make the trip only to find out that it has been sold': Internet divided over second-hand sale etiquette

'I would rather not make the trip only to find out that it has been sold': Internet divided over second-hand sale etiquette

This person is completely confused after a second-hand sale gone wrong. I'm on this person's side… but commenters agree with the seller. Buying second-hand items is a great way to save money and recycle. These days, it's a great way to get reliable clothing, since clothes from past decades last longer than the current brands of fast fashion. For people who are just getting started in their first apartments, it's a great way to get some nice furniture at a cheap price. And others use it to spruc…

‘I won’t buy you a house... that's ridiculous': Unemployed neighbor asks former resident to buy him a house, because he can't afford one

‘I won’t buy you a house... that's ridiculous': Unemployed neighbor asks former resident to buy him a house, because he can't afford one

One dude took ‘neighborly kindness’ too far when he wrote a bunch of letters asking neighbors to donate him a house and sent them off, obviously unaware (on a core level) how outrageous his request was. One neighbor, u/SirHoneyDip, shared the letter to r/EntitledPeople, and the content of the letter was frankly, hilariously entitled. Some people really don't have much going on up there, do they? Asking people for favors is one thing, but asking people to buy you a WHOLE HOUSE? While being unemp…

'The least you can do is get me... a small bottle of Chanel No. 5': Top 20 Choosing Beggars of the Week (June 14, 2023)

These people are ready to haggle themselves the best possible deal. These “ choosing beggars ” are among the funniest this week. People from all over post their random sightings of people who need things, but really don't want to pay much for them, and also, they don't want to put much effort into getting these things. Some people really have the audacity to ask others to do chores for them — like removing a lengthy fence — and then want to be paid so that the buyer can take the scraps, which i…
