Ah, the never-ending tale of roommate drama. Is there anyone on this Earth who has zero roommate drama in their lifetimes? Whether you live with siblings, a best friend, or a romantic partner, you probably have a story or two about when typical roommate annoyances intensified the drama in your relationship. Hopefully, it's nothing as crazy as what this man had to endure.

Infertile? There are many ways to have a son or daughter that never involve pregnancy: you can adopt, you can foster, or you can steal your sister's baby before it's ever born...

Well, that's one way to do it.

Once the family got a little too comfortable in their host's home, things got stickier than the kid's table mac and cheese spilled on their opulent Berber rug

For context, this story takes place at an airport gate while passengers are waiting to board. There's nothing worse than taking your seat on a long flight, only to realize you're sitting by some rambunctious children whose parents could care less what they are doing. Sure, you can put in some headphones and turn them up full blast to try and tune them out, but the parents are the ones who should be controlling their children. But of course, as all parents know, sometimes you try your hardest, a…

To be fair, this boss had it coming. The concept of 'work-life balance' is becoming increasingly normalized throughout the workforce, as it should. No one wants to spend their entire lives planning around their jobs. And although that used to be the case in generations past, nowadays, employees don't stand for mistreatment; instead, they just leave. Well, this Gen X employee can't really leave the company. He's been there for years and is nearing his retirement. So, instead of up and quitting,…

Moral of the story: karma always catches up with you. This man has been a night auditor for hotels for the past 19 years. When he got assigned to a new hotel, he went about his work just like he'd done for the past 19 years. But he was instantly met with Karen , a longtime employee who had been getting away for years with handing her work off to other coworkers. And she's not even in a manager-type position, so she has no authority to tell anyone what to do. But she's gotten away with it for so…

"This is the kind of kindergarten etiquette I do not expect from a man in his 30's"

Fostering or adopting kids in need of a home is one of the most honorable things a family can do. If every family could open up their home for one kid, the world would definitely be a better place. But even if a family does adopt a child, it only means the hard work has just begun. Even if it seems like the hard part, the adoption part is just the beginning, as now the family has to work together to make sure their new addition feels comfortable and happy in their new home, while also making su…

"There is a no ‘claim’ policy."

In this world, there are two types of people. The former is a rule-abiding individual who tries to stay out of trouble, while the latter is a troublemaker who is constantly seeking out the next adventure. The story below is an account of a frustrated neighbor. The original poster (OP) has lived in the same neighborhood for a considerable amount of time. Everything was going great at first, but when the mail worker knocked on the door, things quickly spiraled out of hand. Before OP knew it, he w…

Experiencing seemingly inconsequential and fleeting moments of happiness gives us a sense of meaning and significance in life. The story below is an account of a clever customer. The original poster (OP) explains how he was able to settle his dispute with his mobile phone carrier. More than 20 years ago, the concerned party decided to change mobile carriers. To settle his debt with the company, OP contacted the sales agent and paid the remaining invoices. To his dismay, though, the very next mo…

Get ready for the tea. Have you ever worked for a company and noticed a serious flaw but didn't say anything because you didn't want to get fired? Enter these ex-employees. Now that they've moved on from their old roles (and in some cases, we're fired), they are now able to speak the truth about the mishappening at their old jobs - even if they are speaking from an anonymous Reddit profile. Perhaps it's better that it's anonymous because we're able to get all of the juicy details out of these e…

Every employee faces the choice of whether or not they should power through their assigned work and finish early, risking their manager finding out and giving them even more work, or simply take their time with the work they have been given, that way making sure there are no addition tasks handed to them. The employee in this Reddit story chose the first option, and they are now regretting it, as they learn that hard work is only rewarded with more work. OP (original poster), has been given mon…

When you are planning a wedding, finalizing the guest list can seem like an impossible task. As much as you'd like to invite everyone you can, financially, your bank account might not allow that. And then there are all of the plus ones, too. You can't deny every guest a plus one, even if you don't really know their date. It's customary, even though no one wants to spend their big day with people whom they don't know or want to be there. But what this entitled bride did was next level.
