Resident throws their waste on neighbor's property, then refuses to move it for weeks, neighbor cleverly blocks her driveway with it in response: ‘Hopefully she moves it before it snows and freezes'

There are a lot of encouraging and motivational catchphrases that we all know and try to enforce in our everyday lives. ‘Be true to yourself’, ‘Just do it’, and ‘Seize the day’, to name a few. We all know how hard it is to follow some of these inspirational life lessons, to a point where it usually seems impossible. Sometimes, we actually manage to fake it 'till we make it and find ourselves doing exactly what these phrases encourage us to do, and that is a wonderful feeling. Other times, we le…

Woman keeps stealing roommate's makeup, roommate swaps foundation with self-tanner: 'She waltzed out of the bathroom with an orange face'

It's important to set boundaries with your roommates from the get-go. Normally, you would think this is something most folks learn in college, but you'd be surprised how many fully grown adults have yet to learn these important lessons. For instance, when you first move in with someone, both parties need to establish which items (food, products, etc.) are communal and which ones should be privately used. This Redditor had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with a roommate who refused…

'Y’all are my heroes for real': International swarm of callers floods scam center after woman shares the number online, causing them to shutdown operation

Scam calls and emails, aside from being irritating and annoying, are some of the most infuriating and sinister forms of fraud, many times directly targeting the elderly and other less technologically oriented demographics who are most vulnerable to these kinds of ripoffs. Nothing is more satisfying than people coming together to take action against wrongdoing. And no one is more deserving of getting a taste of their own medicine than these scammers, who are willing to deceive the most susceptib…

Wife chastises husband for purchasing ugly Christmas cards, husband pulls prank with the help of his friends: 'Their mantelpiece was covered in identical cards'

People can be very particular about how they like things to look around the holidays. From Christmas trees to stockings to decorations, many suburban families enjoy going overboard because, well, who is going to stop them from being festive? If Halloween is the one time of year people can dress however they want without receiving any judgment, then Christmas is the one time of year that the elders of the family can be as demanding and over-the-top as they want and no one can say anything about…

Passenger overhears taxi driver gossip about her on the phone in another language, she gets payback after revealing she got every word: 'You shouldn't make comments like that'

Anyone who can speak a second language will tell you how beneficial it is to have that ability. While there are many ways one can take advantage of speaking another language, one benefit triumphs them all – being able to talk freely about whatever you want in public and having no one understand you. When I was 19, I got to spend a year abroad with 3 of my best friends. We all speak a fairly uncommon language other than English, so we'd use that language as our main source of communication among…

Hospital staff face threat of mechanic's lean after submitting fake service requests to get free parking at mechanic's lot for work

Is it just a thing that hospitals must have the most inaccessible parking around? I'll never forget the irony of having to walk (hobble) 10 minutes down the road and across the adjacent park and across the adjacent park on my freshly broken ankle away from the local hospital where there was the closest parking available. And, of course, this was in the early hours of the morning after waiting 8 hours in the emergency department and in the not-so-nice part of town. To make matters even worse, yo…

23-year-old woman gets 20-year-old roommate's car towed for repeatedly and unapologetically taking her spot: 'She [also] hadn't paid to park for that month'

Neighborly parking disputes are no new thing, but they almost constitute “friendly fire” when they take shape between members of the same household. Still, this just speaks volumes to the propensity for people to be petty and selfish, trying to shape the world and those around them into a form that best suits them independent of any moral or even logical reason. At this point, you probably already have someone in mind who fits this description, it's probably even a former roommate, as rooming s…

Undervalued employee proves their worth, gets $10,000 raise after Office Karen tried to get them fired: 'I turned off every automated task I had ever set up'

Sometimes, the only way to prove that you're a valuable employee is by showing and not telling. After all, most folks need to see things to believe them, and this employee had spent the better part of the last five years at their company automating systems so that tasks were far easier to complete for everyone involved, including their technologically challenged coworkers. However, clearly, their value was underseen, unnoticed, and not reflected in their salary. After an office Karen decided th…

'I got a text from the restaurant... It was beginning to rain': Host of double birthday party writes 10 different 1-star reviews at upscale restaurant that denied them service

This birthday party went downhill so quickly! It's a shame that this person volunteered to plan a double birthday party for their 64-year-old FIL and their 60-year-old MIL. It was supposed to be a lovely time, as u/Diylion explains. They invited 10 people to a local venue…but things just went wrong from the start. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, things will go wrong in life. And as they say, the show (or party!) must go on! It's not like you can just tell your entire party of 10 people th…

'[I'm] filling her house with my garbage': 40-year-old gets back at unfaithful ex-wife hoarder by giving away anything broken

There are lots of ways to get back at your ex. Most people throw shade on social media or brag about having the best social life ever. Some folks stay passive-aggressive or subtle in their pettiness. Maybe they keep a sweater or take their favorite shampoo. That level of pettiness is not nearly as exciting or as visual as what this Redditor pulled off. After divorcing his wife of 12 years—10.5 of which she spent cheating on him— he decided it was well within his jurisdiction to enact some payba…

Guy gets back at entitled truck driver's incessant honking, giving parking spot to nice old lady instead: '[I] gave the truck nowhere to go'

If you're looking for places where the worst sides of people are bound to come to the surface, look no further than your closest parking lot, where impatience is almost always at an all-time high. Recently, I found myself empathizing with the folks who lose their marbles in these stressful situations as I came to the realization that I had become one of them. We were trying to find a parking spot for my partner's parents, who were visiting for a long weekend. We reserved a space on an app and a…

[He] was the stereotypical lazy manager': Employee teaches messy boss a lesson by leaving fake contamination note in the breakroom, scares boss into becoming a neat freak

The breakroom is a strange little parallel universe, isn't it? It's the one place in the office where corporate personas start to crack, and you get a glimpse of who your coworkers really are. It’s where you discover the meal-prep guy with their perfectly portioned quinoa bowls, the microwave offender can’t microwave soup without a mini explosion, and, of course, the fridge hoarder whose Tupperware is older than the interns. While most of us do our best to keep the space bearable, there’s al...

Teacher gets back at micromanaging principal by drowning him in nonsensical paperwork until he finally quits: 'I sent him 20 page lesson plans'

There is only one reasonable way to get back at a micromanager, and that is to make them regret breathing down your neck. Here , we have a new high school principal who decided that he needed to approve every little idea this science teacher had for lab experiments. This approval process would go far beyond a quick email or conversation to run something by the principal. In fact, the micromanager expected to go through all lesson plans prior to approval. This, of course, is extremely frustratin…
