Note to self: Don't mess with anyone who carries zip-ties in their pockets.

HOAs can be a real pain, especially when you're not even part of them, and they're STILL hounding you. That's what happened to one homeowner who kept getting complaints from a neighboring HOA that he didn't even belong to. The HOA kept pestering him to trim back his tree, but he refused. So, in true HOA fashion, they took matters into their own hands and came over without permission to cut back the limbs. But instead of just taking it, this guy decided to stick it to the HOA in the best way pos…

Getting someone else's mail is one of those things that is bound to happen when you live in an apartment building or complex. Most of the time, it's an innocent mistake. However, if it begins to become a repeated occurrence, something else may be afloat. This Redditor discovered that another tenant in the building was using his address for package and food deliveries. After a few instances in which the Redditor walked over to the tenant's apartment and hand-delivered said packages, he asked the…

Want some coffee? No problem.

"Be careful what you wish for. You may just get it."

This story brings a whole new meaning to “eat your vegetables!” Here, we have a young woman who had the unique experience of rooming with not just one stranger but two: a mother and her kid. The good news is that the two parties generally stay out of one another's way and are respectful of their physical boundaries. The bad news is that all this started to change when the Redditor began to notice her leftovers were always missing. Now, the original poster (OP) makes a point to address her sympa…

How are there people who still think that acting selfishly and entitled will get them further than acting kind and patient? All it takes is a minimum understanding of human interaction to realize that people would react much better to others being nice to them instead of being mean. When it comes to interaction with someone who is supposed to provide you with a service of some kind, these statements go a long way. Take this Reddit story as an example–These two local bakers had to deal with a Ka…

Let's be real; everything is a subscription these days, whether or not they should be or even really can be. Before long, we'll need to keep up with the weekly subscription on our toaster for the privilege of cooking two pieces of toast at once. While that might sound outrageous, keep in mind printers have already normalized that type of thing for years—even new cars have started coming with basic features locked behind subscription-based grifting models. While this is bad, it's even worse when…

We all, at some point, have to do things at work that are not part of our job description and have nothing to do with our actual role. When one is asked to do something outside of their role, they tend to agree, mostly to stay on good terms with their manager, and in hopes that doing so will benefit them in the future. It is all part of a workplace strategy in order to get ahead. So what can one do when they are not only asked to do things above their pay grade but also blamed for mistakes made…

The roommate was given three separate warnings... can't really blame the woman at this point.

Stealing someone's lunch at work is one of the most obvious signs that some people really do never grow out of middle school behavior. Thankfully, this employee, who also happened to be a former chef, knew how to get even with the problematic coworker in his place of work. First of all, the former chef was, unfortunately, an easy target for the lunch thief, considering how elaborate and over-the-top their lunches tended to be. However, despite valid suspicions, the employee still had no officia…

Unfortunately, we've all encountered an extremely reckless driver at least once. While there is a lot wrong with people like that, the worst of it is that they never seem to comprehend that when they refuse to pay attention to the road around them, they are endangering not only themselves, but everyone around them. If you don't care about your own safety, that is on you, but once you involve other people, you have a responsibility you simply cannot ignore. When I am on the road, it feels me wit…

Who you end up sitting next to on a plane while traveling solo is truly a game of luck. Sometimes, you'll board the plane and the seat next to you will remain empty for 90% of the boarding process until some random annoying dude who was running late makes it onto the plane at the last minute. Other times, you're seated next to a screaming child who is on his very first flight. Here, we have a passenger who had to deal with an entitled seatmate. This guy quickly took over both armrests and encro…

Sometimes, bosses just decide out of nowhere that they don't like an employee. It's not based on work ethic. It's not based on morale or personality. They simply have chosen to have an enemy in the workplace to make matters more interesting and cutthroat for them. If you're unlucky, you may end up becoming that employee for your boss. When this happens, as it did to this Redditor , you have to keep reminding yourself that it's not you. Furthermore, if this treatment starts to get in the way of…

The worst kinds of people are the ones who do not follow basic flight etiquette. This entitled 18-year-old and her Karen mother were certainly old enough to know better. They were on the same nine-hour international flight as this Redditor and would not stop kicking his seat and accidentally hitting him in the head with their jackets the entire time. By the time the flight ended, the original poster (OP) knew he had a small window to get some much-needed petty revenge. Of course, the teenager a…
