Parents: you can't live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. You love them dearly, and they know how to get under your skin like no one else. That’s just how family is! It's the reason that a lot of people put up with irritating behavior from their family members, letting them push their boundaries way too far. If you've ever had to share a car with your family members, you know exactly how u/RiskItF0rTheBiscuit's sister was feeling. She writes that she and her Mom were sharing a car already, and…

being a parent is hard, there is no arguing with that. How parents manage to take care of their kids and give them everything they have to offer while also maintaining their own identity and aspirations in life, is beyond me. Once one starts seeing their parents as actual, real people, one starts to learn that there is no rule book and there aren't any guidelines to being a parent, they just wing it as they go, which unsurprisingly means that parents make many, many , many mistakes. One mistake…

Great managers empower their employees, while bad managers like this just try to bring them down a notch. It's a fact of life, and one that this person found out while they were still a teenager. This person worked as a technician at the automotive department of a chain store. At just 18 years old, they were relegated to some of the easier car tasks. That included things like “maintenance checks like wiper fluid and tire pressure, easy stuff,” u/MrTyroneTheCat explained. After you check out thi…

Can a car dealer haggle a price with a teenager? This car dealer barely even tried, as u/rattlesnake501 explained. It can be really tricky to know how to negotiate a car deal. There are various different websites that can tell you how much the car should be worth based on its age, mileage, and other factors, like if it's been in a crash. But just because you show up to the dealership with these facts in hand, doesn't mean that the car dealer will actually agree with you. If your paperwork says…

Using an ex's discount for two entire years without their knowledge is perhaps the best kind of revenge. Firstly, it's quiet. Secondly, no one is getting hurt. Finally, not only are you getting the emotional fulfillment and satisfaction of achieving payback, but you're also spending less money in the process. If that's not a two-for-one situation, I don't know what is. Here , we have a lady who frequently drives her step-kids to and from her husband's ex-wife's town to take them to school. The…

What a silly idea for this dude to damage his neighbor's car and then have the audacity to ask for favors! That's right. After refusing to take the blame for clearly causing damage to this Redditor's car, the dude next door went on an extended outdoorsy vacation and asked for the Redditor to watch his home because he was the only person to be trusted. Well, as it turns out, that was a major lapse in judgment. While the neighbor was gone, there was a huge storm and the neighbor was impossible to…

This person has to do that dreaded annual task: getting his car inspected . If you have a good car, it only takes a few minutes out of your day to get it passed. But if you have a clunker or you've been hearing some suspicious noises as you drive, you may be in for an annoying time. Some people wait last-minute to get their car inspected or do other annual tasks because let's face it, we all have a million things going on in our lives. It seems like some people are better at planning ahead than…

This retail merchandiser fell right into her manager's trap. No matter how hardworking an employee is, it just won't be enough for some bosses. But that won't stop that boss from trying to work that employee to the bone anyway! When you're trying your hardest at work, it's tempting to take both successes and failures personally. You want to do your best, and if your manager criticizes you, it can sting. This manager realized that he could push this retail merchandiser to take on way, way more t…

There's nothing like a nice, peaceful drive on the road being upended by another annoying, entitled driver who thinks that their busy schedule is more significant than everyone else's. It's these unique individuals that can make one of the more solitary and restful activities for some folks unbearable. Personally speaking, I am not one of the individuals who thinks driving is a peaceful activity, nor am I one of the individuals who enjoys engaging in aggressive behavior on the road. My conflict…

This guy went into full “the customer is always right" mode. And that was to his own detriment! Next, this place rented equipment out for events, but they suddenly realized that the software they used was double-booking almost every event !

Regardless of whether or not you have a car, driving with a carpool to work can be a very positive experience. First, you can save time by using the carpool lane, not to mention it is much better for the environment. Second, you can save a lot of money by not paying for gas alone. But perhaps the most positive thing you can get out of carpool is the company. It is greatly beneficial to have someone to talk to, gossip about topics you can't discuss in the office, and simply bond beyond the work…

These workers had a fun “moment of brilliance” while still following their boss's directions.

Nobody knows how many things need to go into consideration when buying a new car before they actually have to do it themselves for the first time. It is not only about the miles and the price, and it's not even about what brand and model it is, there is so much more you have to consider before you make a purchase. For example – Getting the car inspected. Before you buy your first car, most people will tell you that you shouldn't rely on the inspection your car dealership performs and that you s…

Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could pa…

A couple of corporate bigwigs have gotten into the habit of only speaking to each other through their secretary. Their secretary isn't even supposed to have that job… they've just gotten themselves intertwined in the workplace drama between their different bosses. Up next, these HOAs have some really ridiculous rules that have tenants rolling their eyes, like one person who was informed, “ Your mailbox isn't shiny enough ."

All of these DIY projects started with the best intentions! A person saw a problem or felt inspired, and started their craft. Too bad that doing a DIY project isn't always as easy as it looks. No matter how well you follow that YouTube video or set of directions, some things need to be left to the pros. While I'm a big fan of the Spaghetti-O Furby and other art projects , it's harder to love all of the wild car DIYs (as you can see below). For example, one person built a fan into the roof of th…
