When you're a kid, it's always fun to try to get away with stuff. Sneaking into movies, pocketing a candy bar at checkout, and watching scandalous late night TV with your buddies combines the thrill of being caught with the reward of saving money– three kids piled up in a trench coat can all agree that sneaking into a movie theater for a free flick and a dash of debauchery is the best. As adults though, when you don't pay for tickets to things, then it's no longer charming or cute...

If the mooching friend is there more than someone who is actually on the lease, it's definitely a problem.

This person is trying to share their amazing vacation plans , but their family is acting utterly bizarre about it. Vacationing is a real privilege. Lots of people never travel further than a few states away due to financial constraints or workplaces not giving much vacation time. So if you do get the chance to travel — and travel by plane to a pricey amusement park , in this case — you'd be crazy to turn down the opportunity! In the story they told to r/AmItheA**hole, u/Safe_Ad_6111 has some in…

Managerial hubris is one of the reasons employees hate their jobs. Not only are we lacking in pay, but we are enslaved to the most incompetent group of overinflated bimbos who could easily be replaced by AI– at leas the replacement would be more charismatic. But these types of managers will deny your raise and then come begging for your help. Which is it? Do you value my hard work or not?

Some girls are early bloomers. For some, they embrace their femininity and roll with it, while others are doomed and condemned for being a curvy pre-teen. Early bloomers are fast-tracked to learn about life, and competition, pretty early, especially when it comes to older, insecure women.

You know it's ridiculous when the cost of the request exceeds the actual overpayment!

People have jobs so that we get paid. Work is certainly not a hobby and a paycheck is a standard expectation from your boss every two weeks– it's honestly the bare minimum requirement that we ask of them. In this case, a diligent employee was fuming after months of reminding his boss to write him his salary checks– he used this fury to fuel a fiery resignation.

Kids love Pokemon. The idea of training a powerful imaginary creature that equal parts lethal as they are adorable is intoxicating. As we grow up, the nostalgic element of the Poke-franchise evolves into a monetized machine. One Pokemon lover and volunteer childcare worker recently discovered exactly how tainted Pokemon trade can become when folks lose sight of the original pleasures of the game (ie: when Karens get involved).

Should you ever stay in a job that tries to cut your pay ? This chef is unsure what to do, and they're rightfully stunned by the situation their workplace has put them in. In a post titled “ Advice wanted ,” this person explained that they're a Philadelphia-based chef working at small Irish pub. And, they wrote, the owners have been hiring the cheapest plumber they can find. Now, the owners have realized the pub isn't up to code in any way, and to cut costs, they're bringing the problem to thei…

One has to wonder if the boss was willing to take the same pay cut!

There are some things you shouldn't cheap out on.

This confused freelancer is unsure if they asked for way too much money to babysit their cousin's three youngsters. U/HENNYDEFN was pretty sure they weren't asking for too much money, but they checked with the r/AmItheA**hole community to be sure. As the OP writes, they're actually a software engineer who freelances on the side. They make between $40-$60 per hour at their official roles, but they were willing to offer a family discount when their cousin asked them to babysit . This cousin is br…

Never mess with IT.

Uhhhhh.

Who values whose time now, huh?

What did he expect?
