This might sound completely ridiculous, but before anyone thinks of buying a car, they should really consider whether or not they have a space to park it where they live. If they don't, then they simply should not buy a car. Another thing they should absolutely not do is assign a random public area in their neighborhood to be their own personal parking space because A. It's illegal, and B. It is just going to create an uncomfortable situation with the neighbors. But still, some people buy cars…

When you're a kid, and you are watching a Hallmark movie or just a show that displays the Perfect American Family, you end up assuming that your neighbors are going to become your best friends. In those movies, they always greet each other good morning, their kids end up becoming best friends (and then more often than not - end up getting married), and it always seems like having neighbors is the best experience ever. Is it actually like that in real life? Absolutely not. You are lucky if your…

Are you the type of people who book a hotel room at whatever website has the lowest rate, or do you always book it from the hotel's official website? Even though it is appealing to pay less, there could be a lot of issues with booking through a third-party website. For example, if the booking somehow falls through, the actual hotel can't do much to help, and they would most likely tell you to contact the 3rd-party's customer service, which can be a lot of pain. Another example is what happened…

Being a full-time nanny can either be the best job of your life or the worst, it all depends on the family that you are working for. If the parents are chill and supportive, you can have the best time with their kids and actually become part of the family. But, if the parents are harsh and inconsiderate, the job can easily become a burden and a frustrating experience, even regardless of how the kids themselves behave. Unfortunately, the family in this Reddit story resembles the latter. OP (orig…

Have you ever had a birthday celebration so bad that you threw a fit over it? Maybe if you're a toddler strapped into your high chair and given a cupcake to destroy while your family laughs at how messy you're getting. But in this story, it's a person who has just turned 30 who is throwing a tantrum, and the internet is telling them just how childish they really are.

There are many ways to calmly deal with an annoying roommate. What most people do, presumable, is just try and ignore that roommate as much as they can, and live as separately as they can. If that does not work, some people might try and work out their issues with their roommates, but knowing people, that is hardly ever the case. The last option is to find a way to get the roommate to move out, without causing much of a scene, and this Reddit story is the perfect example of such an option. This…

The best kinds of neighbors are neighbors you have absolutely no contact with. The less you engage, the better your relationship will be, which means everyone is happy. What this basically means, is that if every single neighbor would have minded their own business, and kept for themselves, there would be much less neighborhood drama to deal with. The person who wrote this Reddit story had neighbors who were completely the opposite of the ones described above. They would constantly complain abo…

Well this is awkward

To make matters even worse, the woman already pays $500 more in rent and fully covers the cost of Wi-Fi for the two. However, her entitled roommate still asked for more money, saying that the original poster (OP) deserves to pay more because the OP makes more money than her.

Stories like these make it completely understandable why some people decide to move away and live in the middle of nowhere, with no one else nearby. This is the perfect example of how impossible neighbors can be, which sheds light on the reality of having to deal with some really crazy people right outside your doorstep. This Reddit story was told by a resident who saw her two neighbors arguing out on the street. Curious, she went outside to see what the commotion was all about. Apparently, nei…

Every company should have an IT person on-site who is able to take care of every technical problem in the office. Even if the company is small and they don't have many employees, if there is a physical office, there should be an IT person there. This way, if something goes wrong, the people in charge of the office would not go and blame innocent employees, like the receptionist in this Reddit story. This story was told by an IT guy who had a woman come in from a totally different office and dif…

But are arguments and conflicts in the customer service sector worth engaging in? Or are we fighting an unwinnable war? The story that follows tells the tale of a hotel front desk employee. The Original Poster (OP) is rarely surprised by privileged clientele because of his vast experience as a customer care representat…

It has gotten to a point where it is extremely common to hear about neighborhood drama, and about entitled neighbors who think they own everything around them. Some stories are more dramatic than others, but everyone has probably dealt with a demanding neighbor at some point in their lives. That being said, there is one line that a neighbor should never ever cross, and that is taking advantage of elderly people. Like the person in this Reddit post. This man asked his elderly neighbor if he coul…

Your neighbors are your closest allies. They can assist with receiving packages, impart insightful information about the surrounding area, keep a watchful eye on your home, and much more. However, should misfortune find you and you are forced to live next door to a horrible person who has been a headache since the minute she arrived, do you participate in her little game of torment or do you cave into all of her absurd requests in an attempt to keep things at bay? The Original Poster (OP) recen…

The story that follows is from a disappointed sales department employee. The Original Poster (OP) holds a job at a small business located in the neighborhood shopping center. The business has had to deal with an increase in theft lately. Unfortunately, due to the shopping center's numerous rules and restrictio…
