Apparently, this can be a common scam among second-hand sellers. When this man won a bidding war for a brand-new pair of headphones, he was ecstatic. That is, until the seller promptly messaged him to tell him that he had dropped the headphones, so he could no longer sell them. Then he urged the man to cancel the order. The man, of course, wanted to see the damage to assess if he really wanted to cancel the order or not. The seller filled him in that he'd be getting the headphones repaired and…

It always starts with an innocent exchange of phone numbers. After all, the downstairs neighbor seems like a normal person, he offered, and it would be weird to turn him down. Well, it turns out you really should have turned him down because now you're getting incessant complaints about everything from noises to your dog. That's what happened to this Redditor , who started to receive a series of unhinged messages not long after exchanging numbers with her downstairs neighbor. First, it was a no…

Next up, these people quit their jobs on the spot , like one person who told a coworker, “I refuse to be talked to like that.”

When we were children, we were taught so many simple rules that as adults years later, we can appreciate as really important life lessons. Even if it was something as simple as - ‘treat others like you would want to be treated yourself’, or ‘honesty is the best policy’, we carry those lessons for our entire lives. Another silly lesson that we all know is ‘finders keepers’, which might not be the best and most accurate lesson to learn, but is definitely something we should all consider in some c…

Calling your employees by their preferred name seems like the bare minimum regarding proper workplace treatment. It doesn't really get more disrespectful than ignoring someone's constant corrections. This Redditor's name ends with an -a but is constantly referred to by a similar-sounding name that ends with an -e. If this were perhaps their first few weeks on the job, then the mistakes would be understandable. But there's really no excuse for the mixups at this point, especially when the Origin…

Job interviews are not easy, and they take up a lot of your time. Not just the interview time itself but all of the prep work and practice can take up a lot of mental capacity. And if you're interviewing for multiple jobs at the same time, it's basically a full-time job. In this story, this job candidate was doing just that. After receiving an offer from one of the job prospects, be politely asked for two days to consider the offer before giving the hiring manager an answer. After careful consi…

There is a specific dynamic that emerges when you spend time at your parents' place as an adult. You start to notice all the crazy house rules, patterns, and habits that make absolutely zero sense. However, no matter how many times you try to explain a more efficient way of doing something, there is nothing you can do to change their minds. Living with my parents during that time back in 2020 resulted in a clash of personalities that thankfully did not lead to complete and total combustion. Sti…

It's hard not to be affected by the many inconveniences life can throw in your general direction. It's not easy to go with the flow and to move on from something that totally thwarted your plans. Whether it's learning the subway has been delayed a fully 20 minutes or finding out that the gift you ordered for your Mom's birthday arrived with imperfections, these mildly infuriating moments can only be overcome with humor and commiseration. Otherwise, your head might explode from frustration alone…

A man was housesitting at his partner's parent's house when he got the late night munchiess. At 1 a.m., he decided to browse through his food delivery apps to see what could satisfy his craving. His choice was a Slurpee and candy from a nearby 7/11. While waiting for his food, he fell asleep. The next morning, he went to check on his food only to find it missing and the police at his door. Apparently, the food was delivered to some unsuspecting neighbors who thought the police needed to be invo…

Whatever happened to minding your own business? Sure, we may stalk celebrities and acquaintances on social media, but that's entirely separate from legitimately spying on the people in your life. In this instance, we have a nosy neighbor who had been feuding with this Redditor for years. It all started when the neighbor built a fence that went two feet into the Redditor's property, and after they were forced to correct their mistake, they never forgave the Redditor. The Redditor subsequently bu…

This couple managed to ruin a bunch of their clothing while traveling. There's some good travel advice about how to ensure you'll always have a clean outfit with you. If you're flying, you should pack your clothes in your checked luggage, but make sure to leave at least one pair of clothing in your carry-on luggage, too. That way if your luggage gets lost or you're not able to get that suitcase right away, you'll still have a fresh set of clothes for the next day. This couple had a similar issu…

This scenario is ripe for some petty payback. The first time this Redditor received a delivery intended for a different apartment down the hall, they did not think much of the situation. They simply concluded that it must have been a mistake or the delivery person was buzzing any apartment number just to enter the building. However, the next time it happened, they started to put the pieces together. They realized that the entitled Karen down the hall kept listing the Redditor's apartment number…

This might sound completely ridiculous, but before anyone thinks of buying a car, they should really consider whether or not they have a space to park it where they live. If they don't, then they simply should not buy a car. Another thing they should absolutely not do is assign a random public area in their neighborhood to be their own personal parking space because A. It's illegal, and B. It is just going to create an uncomfortable situation with the neighbors. But still, some people buy cars…

One dude was the worst kind of friend you could have. Let's call him Ken. See, Ken had a friend by the name of… let's say, Scott. Ken and Scott were buddies, and when Ken got himself into a tight spot at the ripe age of 28, Scott let him sleep at his place (for free), bought him groceries, and even took care of his cat. All of which he really didn't have to do. Ken didn't work, didn't want to look for a job, and one day, disappeared, leaving his cat with Scott, who didn't particularly want his…

City halls are notorious for being stuck up, but this one really takes the cake. This chess club had eagerly prepared for their opening night, rented a venue (their city hall), and arrived with everything they needed to play chess, which would be chess boards and pieces. Somehow the fact they brought their own things became a huge deal. Their excitement turned into dismay when they were unexpectedly approached by a dude working for city hall. He peeked in, noticed their things, and asked where…

One barista is confused and annoyed by the rules their manager is making up. They took to r/mildlyinfuriating to share the story. But commenters informed them that they might be looking at things all wrong. Their issue revolves around making custom drinks for the patrons of their coffee shop. Some chains embrace the custom drink trend, including all of the Tiktok drinks with names like “Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Chocolate Chai Latte”
