'I booked 6 hours of overtime': Worker complies with supervisor's request to park bike in designated spot, leading to 6 hours overtime

'I booked 6 hours of overtime': Worker complies with supervisor's request to park bike in designated spot, leading to 6 hours overtime

Corporations like to hire Karens; don't ask me why… It's an enigma I could never make sense of. But a Karen can only fool so many until he or she hits an inevitable roadblock in the form of a regular, run-of-the-mill employee who makes an attempt to address the toxic culture the Karen has created. Every now and then, such an employee will interrupt the Karen's attempts at making them follow some rule created by a corporate suit 15 years ago. In this particular instance, a Karen joined a deliver…

'You can't park here': Woman refuses to move her car from neighbor's driveway, neighbor blocks her in

'You can't park here': Woman refuses to move her car from neighbor's driveway, neighbor blocks her in

Parking spots aren't always assigned, which can be particularly annoying if people begin parking right in front of your house, blocking your path, due to the fact that it's technically legal. Still, it certainly isn't proper etiquette, and it is usually frowned upon. In this case, OP lived on a street where some houses had driveways, yet some didn't, meaning that the house owners had to park on the street. OP had just enough room to park both their cars in front of their house, but when a new n…

'[My] boyfriend was wrongfully towed from our complex, I got revenge':Tenant gets one over on towing company in rare victory

Parking is always a drama in hotly-contested high-density residential areas where there isn't nearly as much space as people are wanting to park their vehicles, leading to petty squabbles and growing resentment—all over a parking space that they might not even have an actual claim to. Usually, things come to a boil when park and riders, looking to take advantage of parking spaces close to the city, wise up to the free parking and begin parking to walk or bus the remaining distance, taking up re…

'We always parked at least one of our cars in front of her house': Karen calls cops on neighbor for parking in their driveway, they park in front of her house instead

Be careful what you wish for… because you might get exactly what you wanted—even if it's not specifically what you had pictured. There's something about depositing our two-ton chunk of steel in a specific location that brings out the most primal traits in us, prompting territorial feuds between neighbors that inevitably escalate to ridiculous levels. Even if we technically have no ownership over that specific location, it still triggers feral rage when another monkey deposits their two-ton chun…

'I had proof I was within my rights': Tenant turns parking spot she can't use into rentable space after manager insists she has to pay up

'I had proof I was within my rights': Tenant turns parking spot she can't use into rentable space after manager insists she has to pay up

A $25 per month bill inspired this woman to get creative with her parking spot. It's great to have an apartment building where you can park your car in a garage or a parking lot. It saves you the hassle of having to fight for a spot, and if you can park indoors, you'll never have to wipe snow and ice off your vehicle again. And don't even get me started about having to move your car when the street cleaner comes around, which some cities make you do monthly. Yes, there's a lot of be gained from…

'Bad karma, buddy': Dude flips off neighbor after trying to park in someone else's assigned parking spot

'Bad karma, buddy': Dude flips off neighbor after trying to park in someone else's assigned parking spot

Contentious doesn't even begin to describe how people act about parking lots and getting the perfect spot. For many drivers, it's imperative to get a good spot, even if it takes some time of circling the lot, searching for a spot where no one else is parked too close. This lucky person, u/bizzzfire, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a question about a parking dispute. The OP writes that they were pretty sure they were doing the right thing by protecting their assigned spot, but after their interact…

'You can't park here’: Karen gets citation after demanding deaf woman move car to handicapped space, stating ‘normal’ spots are for non handicapped people

Parking lot debacles are becoming more commonplace, with Karens running rampant, who are quick to call the cops whenever they feel like being a martyr. Whether it is to gain some 'good person' points or because they're bored and in need of attention, it's something that is perplexing and frustrating for people worldwide. In this case, OP borrowed her father's minivan, which had a handicap plate, to go to Walmart. Even though OP was deaf, they didn't park in a handicapped space because being dea…

If you drive, you already know how many people with licenses really shouldn't have received theirs.

Check out these hilariously parked people below (plus a few clever signs designed just to tell them off).

'The meter maid literally ran to his car to give him a ticket': Top 20 Mildly Infuriating Moments of the Week (June 1, 2023)

Without password sharing for movie streaming services, how will humanity survive? Families are being torn apart as some streaming services have ceased allowing families to share passwords with each other. Now, something that was once a legacy — having a cheap pass to let all your family and friends mooch off your Netflix account — is no more. Indeed, the younger generations are rolling their eyes and switching to the next cheapest service. That's just one of the mildly annoying things people sh…

'Well that's a pickle': Customer service rep puts driver on hold while pet cat is stuck inside locked car

'[They] lock you out of the car completely': Customer service rep puts driver on hold while pet cat is stuck inside locked car

Car sharing is a brilliant idea — you can rent out your car for others to use while you're not using the car yourself. As a car owner, you make some cash, and as a customer, you can drive a car that's already located near to you, without having to deal with a typical rental service. What could go wrong? It's just one of many new services run by apps in today's modern age. But since it is a rather new idea, there are still some kinks that need to be straightened out. Just check out the story of…

There's no way this guy will let their neighbor get a free fence out of them. But apparently that won't stop her from trying!

'[My] driveway is constantly blocked': Brooklyn resident infuriated by people parking in their driveway

New York parking is no joke. It's a battle at the best of times. If driving stresses you out, don't ever drive in New York City ! It's super stressful, and it's nearly impossible to ever find parking. Even in Brooklyn, where traffic tends to be lighter, parking problems still arise. One Brooklyn resident shared that they live near the beach (Maybe Coney Island? It's a popular tourist spot, though the OP didn't specify). Random people will constantly park in the OP's driveway. It must be infuria…
