"When asked for it, we asked how we could pay it back, and they said just show us a fun time when we come to visit."

Some people play games to have fun, and some people play games to win, and neither group actually enjoys playing with the other. If you have ever played any sort of game with your friends, then you can probably pinpoint which of your friends belongs to which group, which might make you want to tweak your invitation list for the next gaming night you have planned. This was basically what happened in this Reddit story when OP (original poster) decided to uninvite their coworker from their private…

It’s rare to see someone successfully get back at their HOA these days, but as it turns out, miracles can happen and this dude really worked wonders. After he was fined a nonsensical $1500 for taking a plank of wood down the communal elevator despite there being no other mode of transport, he decided that the best way to get even with these guys was to mess up their elevator without any trace of evidence that could get back to him. He did this by planting mini sound emitters that would erupt in…

"They fired me over email, while I was on vacation. I just can’t understand how people can treat someone like that."

These days, it feels like there are more red flags than green ones when you're on a first date. Perhaps you have a mental checklist in your mind. Are they human? Are they single? Do they have a 401k? Each singleton has their own personalized criteria. However, one thing that feels pretty universally unacceptable in this day and age is a non-stop texter. After all, you have both presumably gone through the trouble of incessant swiping on dating apps, putting up with surface-level initial message…

Living in a co-op certainly has its advantages, but it also means that you may or may not be at the mercy of a building Karen. Here , we have a new tenant who just moved into her co-op in noisy midtown Manhattan two weeks prior. She threw a small housewarming get-together with ten people on a Friday night. These are all folks in their late twenties or early thirties who knew that this was a quiet, low-key event rather than some kind of rager. Unfortunately for the Redditor who hosted the event,…

Some people truly believe that the world revolves around them. They think no rules apply to them, and that everyone else should do everything just to make sure they are happy. Surely we can all agree that these types of people are some of the worst, and watching them get what they deserve is wholeheartedly satisfying. When this entitled neighbor got what she deserved, I had to physically stop myself from cheering out loud, which I am sure would have made the original poster (OP) pretty happy wi…

Working with people who live in a completely different time zone than you do can become extremely challenging. You might be fine with it at first, thinking you would be able to find hours during the workday that works for both sides. But then before you know it, you are answering emails and setting up calls late at night because that is the only time you can get any work done with the other side. When an employee does find themselves in a situation like this, it is important to set up boundarie…

The funny thing about surprise inheritance money is it has the potential to cause more drama than joy. Here, we have a younger sibling who was cut off by his older sister when he was 18 years old right after the loss of their parents. He ended up having to fend for himself and wound up working multiple jobs to put himself through college. Now, ten years have passed, and the younger sibling learned that he was going to receive a substantial amount of money from their maternal grandfather. This w…

Some people fail to understand that their behavior towards others affects how others eventually behave towards them. In other words, they don't understand that what goes around comes around – You can't expect people to be nice to you, or to help you out, when you refuse to do the same for them. This rule is a key element when it comes to a neighborly relationship. Neighbors often seek each other's help, but if one refuses to help others, there is no reason for others to help them in return, whi…

What is the etiquette these days when it comes to public transport? Not to sound like an "old man shouting at clouds," but it really does seem like etiquette—along with mutual unspoken respect and other social decorum—has gone completely out the window. Still, along with that, and theoretically causal of the previous issue is that people just seem generally more entitled and individualistic, it's all about “me me me” and “what can be done that benefits me” rather than partaking in the upholding…

Karens seem to go out of their way to make themselves known on public transportation. Whether it's starting an argument over an invasion of their personal space (they're usually in the wrong here) or talking loudly on the phone, these are people who feel compelled to make a scene wherever they go. Here , we have a parent who has clearly raised her perfectly healthy but endlessly annoying 8-year-old son to be just as entitled as she is. A passenger, the person who shared this Reddit thread, saw…

"He wasn't using headphones btw, even though the FA offered - I think he thought the wires would make him look stupid."

You never know what kind of neighbors you're going to get. You might get the ones who feed all the stray cats, turning your street into a constant feline frenzy . Or you might get the Boomers who yell at the neighborhood kids for daring to ride their bikes near their precious sidewalks. But worst of all, you might get the Karens —like this one—who think they're entitled to chop down your tree because it blocks their view of the sunset. This Karen is a new neighbor who just moved across the stre…

When a young couple moved into their grandparents' home after it had been vacant for a year, they were immediately greeted with drama from their entitled Boomer neighbors. Apparently, the neighbors had gotten a little too comfortable using the vacant yard and weren't happy to lose that extra space. The moment the new owners moved in, the neighbors started harassing them, claiming they were invading their property and even threatening legal action. But the best part of the story is, after gettin…

Just because he makes a 6-figure salary, doesn't mean your FRIENDS get a free dinner...
