Update: Coworkers join forces to confront paralegal who blocks doors when he sees women approach: 'HR won’t do anything'

This group of employees wasn't sure how to handle the workplace weirdo … because he doesn't technically work with them. This person wrote in for advice using a throwaway account called u/throwRA-nonSeq. They shared that they work in an office complex with a bunch of different businesses, and there's one dude who's being an utter creep. He's being just annoying enough to really weird out the other employees, especially the women, who he seems to target in particular. But, as is often the case wi…

'He believed... he owned the volcano': 25+ Lawyers who took on very silly legal cases

Being a lawyer is a tough job, and they have to be picky about what cases they take on. Many law firms already have specialties, which helps narrow down the types of cases they accept (like those who specialize in car crashes or family law). But still, there are tons of clients who come in every day to these law firms requesting help for the most frivolous cases imaginable. In any case, the lawyer will talk to the potential client and ask them to provide evidence. Credit where it's due, these l…

‘You can’t tell me what to do': People Discuss Entertaining Rules They Break

If I had to place myself in one of the two categories, I'd probably say I'm somewhere in the middle. Back when I was in high school, I was a rebel, but as time went on and I (cough) matured, I became a little less hot-headed and conformed more to societal rules. Sometimes this would work out in my favor, while other times, I wish I rea…

This family decided to stand up for what they believed in… and what they believed in was their right to put a roof on their own home . When you're deciding where you want to live, there are plenty of factors. But one that people don't always take into consideration at first is how the weather will impact them. Now, if you're going to live somewhere like Florida, you'll have to keep that in mind right from the get-go. The weather can be warm and sunny plenty of the time. But it rains multiple ti…

'[This] is an act of war!': Laundry room hijacker gets what he deserves after throwing his neighbor's wet clothes on the floor; clothes are held hostage after petty revenge ensues

Laundry room etiquette isn't something you can learn from a book or read in a magazine. You learn about laundry rules from being in the trenches at the laundromat, slinging quarters for an extra 15 minutes to nuke your clothes and still have them come out a little damp.

‘You’re evicted, effective immediately': RV resident gets himself evicted after refusing to move his truck from neighbor's driveway

Certain neighbors are well aware that they are being a pain in the neck but nonetheless derive some type of awkward enjoyment from it. Karma can be quite slow at doing her job, but the job gets done in the end, as seen in this particular case. OP told r/pettyrevenge about her neighbor who was hosting a guest on his front porch at 9 am. This neighbor was a long-time tyrant in their neighborhood, making noise, being rude to people, and unleashing his dogs onto other people's dogs. So it's no surp…
