One customer was ‘held responsible for their actions’ by a full-service shopper who felt it was their mission in life to teach them a lesson. What was this lesson about? Well, tipping. Look, people are awful, I get it. I was a waitress once for many, many years, where I met people from all walks of life. Some were kind, some were petty, and some were downright entitled human beings. Working in the service industry really gets your hatred for humanity going, but still, by law, you don't need to…

Every one of us has at least one friend who could benefit from a little modesty. I mean, I'm all for self-love and confidence, but it's a fine line to walk. The story below accounts for a young and proud man who was deeply humbled by a small chicken. This is the story of an arrogant individual who, like most conceited people, tends to reap more than he can sow. I'll let you decide whether to refer to this man as Mr. Hotshot or Adam. However, let's get back to the point, Adam invites the whole f…

Some people believe that the truth is determined by the context, however, sometimes the truth remains the same regardless of the situation. There is a right and a wrong in real life, and it is impossible to confuse the two. The story below describes the encounter between two individuals. The first is OP and the second would be an arrogant parker who mistakenly believes herself to be entitled to OP's private property. However, rather than succumbing to the nasty habits of the entitled parker, OP…

Siblings, you can't live with them, and you can't live without them. As a sister, I can attest to the various obstacles one might encounter when dealing with a sibling. I would never let anyone hurt my precious baby brother, but I do get a kick out of annoying the heck out of him. One person took some sweet revenge on his younger brother. The story begins with an account of a frustrated older brother who has reached his breaking point. The brother takes matters into his own hands and decides to…

Usually once you've worked in the service industry, you learn how to be a good customer. Oftentimes, you'll learn how to respect your server, clean up after yourself, and generally be a half-decent human being while you're enjoying food at a restaurant. You'd think that it would be a natural reflex to be polite to the person handling your food supply, but for the disrespectful types, tormenting your server is a prize-winning sport.

Pranks can easily go too far when you're young and dumb. Spurred by the jests and jeers of their fellow kin, kids don't have the restraint to resist being little dirt bags. But how can we, as civilized citizens of the world, help teens and kids learn when they've gone too far with a prank? Scare them straight, of course.

Tada, November will be gone in a flash, and before we know it, December will be upon us with a big Christmas-y bang, and the holiday shopping season will have us scrambling between malls, trying to find the perfect gift for our family, friends, and loved ones. Christmas carols will be ringing in our ears, our eyes will be blinded by tall, beaming Christmas trees, and our mother will be calling us non-stop, making sure we got the yearly holiday invite as if we would dare not show up. Holidays ar…

Nobody likes a dirty roommate. If you somehow end up in a situation where you're stuck cleaning up after your roommate's messes, it's hard not to feel like the maid of the house… or worse, the “mommy”. But if you've ever been in a communal living situation...

Everyone hates attending a meeting that could have been an email… But in corporate, white-collar America, the higher-ups eagerly await every round-robin at the conference table. C-level bosses take pleasure in the firm handshakes, they enjoy flexing their power over their employees's schedule, and they really, REALLY love hearing their own voice. However, for most employees, time is money.

Bureaucratic bean-counting threatens every employee's work-life balance, for none more than the traveling salesmen of the world. To be totally frank, there's always a disconnect between the bean-counters of a company and the footmen because financial decisions are made in an office whereas the salespeople are out there in the trenches. The man in the field can see a bit more clearly than the man on the sidelines...

Kids go through phases of being little menaces. Sometimes that 'phase' extends into their entire lifetime, bit it's pretty much guaranteed when they're under 10 years old. By the time they're in 2nd or 3rd grade, they think they have the world figured out. They don't need mom and dad telling them what to do anymore and they become indignant, stubborn, picky babies once again.

A bit of an over-reaction.

They really wanted us to know cursive.

Every day is a chance to learn.

Like a ton of bricks.

Oops.
