'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

‘She made it sound like we destroyed the place’: Airbnb host charges guests a $70 cleaning fee, then leaves them a bad review for not cleaning up, guests seek payback

‘She made it sound like we destroyed the place’: Airbnb host charges guests a $70 cleaning fee, then leaves them a bad review for not cleaning up, guests seek payback

As much as people love to talk about how great Airbnb is, there is also a lot wrong with that concept, starting with the people who become hosts. Everywhere you go, you'll hear at least one horror story of an Airbnb host who overcharged, gave terrible reviews, or even put up a hidden camera in the bathroom (if you know you know). This is why many people prefer to go back to ‘the old-fashioned way' and simply book a hotel. While this story is not as bad as a hidden camera tale, it is a perfect e…

'[Today] is our busiest day of the year, you can’t just up and quit!': Italian restaurant greeter follows boss's advice to have just one job, boss regrets it immediately

One restaurant greeter learned a valuable lesson about how people should treat them in a work setting. When you start your first job, you don't exactly know how you're supposed to be treated by management. Some places yell at their workers, others are passive-aggressive towards them, and others have super strict rules that they stick by no matter what. Your first job teaches you a lot… so by the time you get your second job, you're a little wiser and more experienced. This person was holding tw…

'It was glorious and the first 30 people in line thought so too': Bossy host scolds bartenders and gets instant karma

Instant karma, just how we like it. So there's this dude behind the bar, serving up drinks for a massive party of around 400 people. And if that ain't stressful enough, in walks the grumpy host who's been acting like a total snob from the moment he strutted in. He's all about having things his way, and he's got zero faith in our poor bartender's ability to do his literal job. Our bartender is seething on the inside, but the guy's paying the bills, so he keeps it cool. To make matters worse, the…

'I intentionally scalded him': Brother-in-law gets what he deserves after refusing to wash his own dishes, getting punked by the worst shower of his life afterwards

Old buildings have terrible water pipes. No matter where you live or how swanky your neighborhood may be, if it's old, you're doomed to icy/hot showers that fluctuate based on which toilet is being flushed and which sink is running. For many people, this is just a mere inconvenience, but for others, who have snarky family members visiting, these old pipes turn into a weaponized warfare device that can only be wielded by the resident.

vacation vacationer rental rental-property host landlord airbnb travel reddit refund

'He [only offered] 10% off of a future stay': Vacationer gets denied a refund when his rental home becomes uninhabitable; guest goes straight to the top and gets 30% off

They say that by the age of 40, you should have a vendetta against at least one vacation rental company. For some reason, travel always make people turn extra greedy and with all this cash floating around, sometimes hosts of vacation homes lose a sense of genuine hospitality. In this case, one vacationer had to take justice into his own hands when his vacation stay went down the drain– literally.

Dinner guest tells host she's not honoring tradition because she won't eat mayo

'I did not think I was the entitled one here': Dinner guest tells host she's being 'unappreciative of their traditions' because she won't eat mayo

A family friend had a huge overreaction to a potato salad. If someone is kind enough to invite you to their house for a meal, you often bring some nice drinks or a plate of brownies or a bouquet of flowers. What you don't do is insult the food that your hosts have made for you — no matter how much you dislike it. Most of us are taught that as toddlers. We're told, "If someone gives you a birthday present, and you don't like it, what do you do?" And then you learn to say "Thank you!" for what yo…

‘You can’t discuss your pay': Manager tells employee they can't discuss wages with coworkers, employee reports them to HR and district manager

‘You can’t discuss your pay': Manager tells employee they can't discuss wages with coworkers, employee reports them to HR and district manager

It is not in a company's best interest to have their employees gather and hold a discussion about how much they are being paid, but it is certainly in the employee's best interest. Back when I was floor manager at a restaurant, I remember finding out that people who were way newer than I was at the job were getting about one dollar more than me. It doesn't really matter that it was one dollar (that adds up, by the way), it matters that this dollar is symbolic! Why should people who have fewer q…

'Maybe the problem is you': Experienced restaurant employee roasts servers that complain about bad tips, sparking debate about what makes a good waiter

Everyone's been to a restaurant before where they had a terrible server. You saw them flirting with the hostess, loitering around the bar, and rolling their eyes when you asked them to split the bill. Not to mention, they've neglected your table for 20 minutes, while you were starving and ready to order. Restaurant goers are faced with a tough decision– to tip or not to tip?

As they shared to r/Pettyrevenge, the OP travelled out of town for a few days, and brought along their girlfriend and her pet dog . Since the place did permit pets, the OP thought it would be smooth sailing for the three of them. But upon meeting the owner of the Airbnb , there was an immediate issue. The host told them about a $25 dollar fee up front for br…
