A small spark of discourse can grow into a wildfire when both sides are fanning the flames; ego, pride, and prejudice can drive us to go great lengths and take us down surprising paths, all over something that totally wasn't worth worrying about in the first place. It's no small wonder that something as simple as a dispute over an alarm clock can drive two family members to a point where they're clawing at each other and marching down toward mutually assured destruction. The original poster of…

The people who left this one-star review should pick a different bar to hang out at… or was it actually their bartender who was out of line? Commenters were totally split on who was technically at fault in this situation. Twitter user @MyNameIsAmy shared a funny anecdote from her job. Customers left a one-star review at her place of business, calling her out for a pretty petty reason. In their review, the customers were annoyed that their group wasn't permitted to change the music. However, I t…

The things we do to appease the Karens of the world...

Conflict emerged when this neighbor's kid demanded that he receive "half the money" from a bake sale when he decided he was bored and wanted to go home early. He wasn't even willing to stay the full duration and put in the work in order to earn his part of the cash. The other kid responded that this wasn't fair and that they should split the money earned for the duration that the neighbor's kid had worked. This prompted the neighbor to march over to this family's house, complaining that it wasn…

Some housing communities have something called a homeowner association, and oftentimes, its purpose is to act as a little parasite, bugging people to no end with ridiculous notions such as 'Making sure your lawn is green enough' — in February , no less. This man was fined for exactly that, as well as for the fact that his trash cans were 1 foot away from where they were 'supposed to be', and he found it utterly ludicrous. He refused to accept this reality, so he came up with a plan. What ensued…

Friendly reminder to never steal your neighbor's greens!

When you're a guest in someone else's home, you're on your best behavior; the last thing you'd ever want to do is upset the delicate balance of their lives and impose yourself further upon them. That's how I feel when I'm in someone else's home, and I had always assumed that others shared in my anxiety-riddled tiptoeing. This turns out to not always be the case — in fact, there are those who would not only invite themselves into your home but expect you to finance and facilitate every facet of…

What's more mildly infuriating than people? The things that people do!

When you work in the service industry, you really get to see a different face of mankind, and it ain't pretty. The entire human population should work at least one week in customer service, in the hopes that it would influence them (AKA drive them crazy) enough that in the future, they treat people with kindness and respect. Alas, a lot of dude/ttes treat others miserably regardless of how rich and famous they are, because the fact of the matter is, people suck. If we're to talk about the custo…

We usually spend our childhood years with a certain expectation that all adults will have good critical thinking and rationality; it becomes unfortunately clear to us as we age that a lot of adults are as incompetent as an overgrown version of the child that we once were. Maturity doesn't just come with age; it's something that has to be consciously worked towards, but a lot of people just… don't. It takes a certain special kind of person to try and steal another child's present to give to thei…

In the service industry, it's incredibly important to be polite and courteous to your “guests,” but occasionally, a chance presents itself that can't be ignored.

There's nothing quite like seeing someone out of line get completely roasted.

Ahhh yes, the hospitality industry. It can be a wonderful place… Until it's not. If you have ever worked in hospitality or have just been in a hotel during a rush, then you can see the kind of entitled monsters it attracts. Because an establishment is providing you a comfortable place to sleep, all of a sudden, people think that means you have to cater to ALL of their comforts. But that's just not the case, now is it? Well, try telling that to a repeat guest who turns out to be an entitled Kare…

Dealing with Karens while waiting tables has to be one of the worst parts of the job. That's what this server had to endure when a group of Karens came into their restaurant at closing and demanded eggs Benedict without the hollandaise sauce.

“I told her it was just a joke but she was pissed and now months after the wedding she won't talk to me”

Is this guy serious or was this a big conspiracy to get his neighbor to give up the aisle seat?
