"After all, I was just following orders."

Drawing boundaries with family members is often a necessity. It's not fun to do, but if you don't do it, people are going to rely on you well into their adult years, when they are supposed to be independent. Here , we're not dealing with an overly kind and compromising parent to a needy adult man-child, which is often the case when we come across these stories. Instead, we're dealing with an overly kind and compromising nephew to an even more childish and messy uncle. This uncle had a series of…

"They were being bullies and calling us pathetic, kids are kids, we are the grinch..."

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

Sounds like a power-hungry money grab.

Many people live by the rule of – 'I rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission', and while that rule is helpful in some cases, you should be careful about who you try it with and how. For example, if a kid wants to go out with friends and they don't know if their mom will let them, then sure, they can try the forgiveness over permission thing, worst that will happen is maybe they'll be grounded for a few days. But as adults, your actions have a lot more consequences and a lot more risk…

You can't just learn how to drive and not how to park...

There's one thing worse than not getting someone a gift for their birthday or any other situation where gift-giving is an expected social norm, and that's getting them a “gift” that is actually for yourself and serves your own wants and needs. Doing this surpasses the thoughtlessness of not getting a gift and strays into the territory of showing them that you put thought into it and then settled on something for yourself instead.

You know those videos/articles titled '10 Hacks [This Business] Doesn't Want You to Know About'? On rare occasions, trying out those tips will actually save you some time or money. But 9/10 times, these 'hacks' don't actually work, and all they achieve is anger the worker you have to deal with, which is not something many would recommend. The woman in this Reddit story must have read or heard somewhere that even if a hotel clerk tells you that the hotel is fully booked, if you go ahead and book…

Some people make their own karma, and this entitled parent seems to be one of those people. She decided to do her neighbor a solid and go trick-or-treating with both the neighbor's kids and her own while the neighbor was busy at work. For the purposes of this story, it's important to note that this entitled parent is also a loud-and-proud vegan. Despite the fact that she initially claimed to be taking care of her neighbor's kids out of the goodness of her heart, she decided to impose a “tax' an…

"How is it my fault you had a debt that I covered?"

A person's relationship with the people they work with can be tricky to handle. On the one hand, despite seeing them every day, those people are not really your friends, they are simply… people you see every day. On the other hand, and stay with me on this one, these are people you see every day , so you might want to be on good terms with them, and not create an awkward situation at the office. That is why I understand this employee's initial instinct to be kind to his coworkers by offering th…

We all know what happens when you assume… This entitled rich guy saw a delivery man at a fancy hotel and assumed he was the valet on hand despite the fact that no one gave him that information and the delivery guy was not even wearing a hotel uniform. Still, assumptions were made and the ensuing consequences were laughable. After the entitled male Karen gave the non-valet guy his keys and left without any time to clear up the confusion, the non-valet knew exactly what to do. He gave the fancy P…

This kid doesn't know just how iconic he is for doing what he did. After trying to reconnect with his birth father, both of his biological parents sat him down over a video call and asked for his understanding if they go no-contact. Yup, you read that right. For a little backstory, the Redditor was the by-product of an extra-marital affair (both of his biological parents had spouses and stayed with them). He was primarily raised by his mother's grandparents, with his birth father secretly provi…

Incessant honking never helps. That's one rule everyone should learn when they start driving. Traffic is infuriating, but unless someone else is actively endangering other drivers or being reckless, there is no need to add fuel to the frustration. Your busy schedule is no more important than those of the other drivers on the road. In this scenario, however, we weren't even dealing with an insane traffic jam. It was a quiet evening in a suburban neighborhood, and because it was dark and there ha…
