I mean, hey, technology can be more disorienting and generally perplexing for some folks more than others. In this case though, the confusion runs so deep, it's so profound, that it's almost wholesome. It's like how can you be "mad" at someone who legitimately thinks that the way to submit an electronic payment is through putting physical paper checks into their computer? It's impossible. Impossible to be mad at that. For some more gold from the tech support world, check out this lazy manager who got caught lying, and then the employe who ended up getting promoted in the process. 

We're not sure what Karen was thinking on this one. She took what was otherwise a low key coupon designed to help anyone in need, and turned it into a whole situation where she was paying even more money in legal fees than she ever could've imagined in the first place. A definite loss. Check out some more juicy Karen content with this story about Karen threatening an employee with a write-up and getting a lesson in management.

It seems like this guy was being taken advantage of just a bit. Of course the last year has been historically difficult for so many people. There's a balance between being understanding/compassionate and also respecting your self through standing your ground and not letting people walk all over you. Human beings can be terrible when it comes to taking advantage of someone's good graces. By the sound of it, this guy is feeling a bit of regret over having to confront his roommates, but it also sounds like he didn't really have any other choice.

If this were a chess match between the sleazy bank and dad, dad just pulled the checkmate on them. Good for dad for being financially literate. For another spicy tale of pro revenge, check out this story about a man who crank called his friend and ended up being served a fake paternity suit.

Honestly, it's probably best to do what you can to steer clear of those revealing talks about the state of your personal finances around the dinner table. Especially whenever there might be some alcohol involved. There are just certain subjects that have a tendency to set people on edge. In this scenario, we have a couple who ends up being at odds over how they present the state of their financials to the rest of the world. The wife wants to paint a BS picture of them being broke, while the husband is more concerned with people knowing that they're in fact millionaires. Maybe just take a break from sharing all that information, and focus on something else. 

What a classic choosing beggar scenario right here. They want something, they get the something, and then their own blinding entitlement leaves them convinced that they somehow got screwed over. It's fascinating (in a bad way) on some level to watch this kind of interaction so grossly devoid of logic, play itself out. 

Those stimmy checks can be a tricky business. A drama broke out between this couple over the newly unemployed boyfriend wanting to go on a near-sighted spending spree with his newfound influx of funds, instead of helping out his partner who is set to be their sole source of income for awhile. The folks in the comments section are in agreement that his approach is just a little bit out of line. 

Man, you've got to love that energy. Sometimes, people let the greediness consume them. If you ever find yourself dealing with someone who is clearly blinded by greed, it really just falls on you to consider providing them the potentially helpful, yet brutal wakeup call that they glaringly need. Suffice to say, this independent contractor got the reality check he needed. 

Marriage brings with it a whole lot of hurdles. You've agreed to share your life with someone, and that oftentimes implies a shared bank account. If there isn't a flow, a mutual understanding between partners over how that money's going to be spend, then a whole lot of drama can end up breaking out. It sounds like this guy's wife is operating on a very different frequency for what she considers to be sound investment opportunities. So, he consulted the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not he'd be in the wrong for choosing to open a separate bank account if her habits don't change. 

It seems as if this world will truly never run out of wildly entitled human beings. We're not sure what compels folks to trouble other people with their unyielding series of irrational demands. This girl certainly needed the wakeup call that she was given. Hopefully it takes. Check out more entitled folks and their wild boldness over here. 

Man oh man, the entitlement is out in full form in this scenario. We have a boyfriend who expects to be able to pay less on bills just because he proceeded to make an irrational purchase. Well, it seems as if a wakeup call was in order for this guy. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were in collective agreement that the boyfriend was out of line. 

It's insights like these that lead us to believe with an unshakable doubt that there are people in this world that should absolutely not have credit cards. Seriously, the kinds of encounters that the folks working for banks have with the world's most impressively clueless human beings are enough to leave you speechless. For another post along a similar vein, check out the dumbest financial advice that people have ever received. 

What we have here is a tale as old as time itself. Some half brothers get obnoxiously greedy, fly too close to the sun, and pretty much melt their wings off to the tune of $158K. If they'd have simply been reasonable human beings and offered some sliver of understanding in regards to the circumstances of the inheritance that was so graciously left behind, they might've actually gotten their share of the money. But alas, they took the different, ill advised route. 

This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for hiding his inheritance money from his girlfriend and her family. The tough part about this particular predicament is that they had a kid together. A fair number of people are suggesting that the guy should try to be transparent when it comes to those finances. 

We've all gotten stupid scam calls about something being wrong with your bank account, and there are tons of scams people still fall for. This however, is something in between a lie and the truth. This person got a legit notice from someone who bought a small amount of forgotten debt and wanted them to basically reactivate it with some shadowy wording. Weird. 

Well, it sounds like that wedding was destined to be a grand success. Anyone who is showing up to pay a deposit for their wedding the day before the actual wedding clearly has a whole lot going on underneath the surface. Maybe she could've had some sort of wiggle room if she hadn't insisted on making up something about a website existing.
