There are people that are willing to go to great lengths in order to avoid paying, such as this Karen, who took advantage of an employee at a nail salon. He was just doing his job when she made an executive decision to make his life unnecessarily harder. She ignored his instructions and purposefully kept moving her hand out of the UV/LED light, so her fingernails wouldn't dry. He gently put her hand back in a couple of times, as it is his job to do so, and she lost it. She called the cops, beca…

Some people's pursuit of unchecked control and profit causes them to make shortsighted blunders. At least their own greed and stupidity are holding them back because these people's constant manipulation of legal loopholes and leeching off societal virtue means that they otherwise are getting a leg up on the rest of us. Enter stage right: Landlords—a group infamous for their corner-cutting, profit-seeking, and below-the-belt tactics. It should be no surprise that a landlord made such a decidedly…

We'll leave it for you to judge who is in the wrong here, but there ain't no way we're siding with the HOA. Even still, parking cars in front of your neighbor's house and blocking the street in the process is pretty damn entitled behavior… So we're finding it pretty hard to side with the poster either. It's probably the mounting jet lag and utter lack of sleep, but I'm having trouble agreeing with anyone today. Harassing your neighbor with your car collection and making it, so the street is com…

Some forms of petty revenge are so savage that even the Internet will call you out on it. I

One might be less inclined to leave a good review about your work skills if they are close to non-existent, or if you acted horribly towards them. Some will take it even further, and make sure to ruin a hypothetical future you might have at a new company. The point is, if you're managing people, be a good person. Otherwise, you might end up like this guy, who lost an incredible job opportunity because of an ex-employee's grudge. After a long, tyrannical reign, this disrespectful human being of…

It's incredibly frustrating to be blamed for something you didn't do, especially when the person blaming you knows fully well that you didn't do it and is taking advantage of your inability to prove otherwise. It's often said that “There are two sides to every story, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle.” but that's just blatantly untrue on account of a little thing called lying . That entire adage relies on the fact that both people are honest about their experiences and perspectives. Im…

When you think of the words ‘inheritance’ and ‘employee’, you don't normally find a relation. That's because bosses usually don't leave their workers any inheritance, which… makes sense, right? Not to this employee, it didn't. She had worked for her former boss (who was a remodeler) for many years, and let's just say she wasn't exactly a ‘model’ employee. She would borrow tools, returning them only after long periods of time, completely broken. She was eventually caught stealing from one of her…

This will serve as a friendly reminder to managers everywhere that if your employee repeatedly requests for something to be fixed, you better listen to them!

Housing communities frequently have what is called a ‘homeowner association', backed up by strict, often stupid bylaws. This man lived in a neighborhood where the HOA literally planted little flags in front of lawns to make sure everyone understood perfectly just how tall their grass was ‘allowed to get’. In other words, this HOA was the epitome of a densely rigid association. Now, this man hated to mow his lawn… and when I say hated, I mean to say he despised it.

There’s always an easy way and a hard way, and this guy’s ex-wife and former in-laws decided to go with the latter. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that it was time for the Redditor to commit some well-deserved petty revenge. He shared his story via this thread on Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit. Essentially, after getting forced out of their shared apartment, this dude was trying to handle divorce proceedings with some semblance of reasons in a group text with his now ex-wife and…

Remember that episode on Friends, when Rachel lied to Joey about her boss wanting to ‘buy her baby’? This story has a similar plotline, except it's real. This particular boss began as OP's 'friend’ when OP was pregnant, alone, and stuck in a rut. The woman was offering OP an apartment (in a property she managed) and a job when she had neither. It was a no-brainer, and OP became her tenant and employee. Unfortunately, the woman was taking advantage of OP, and expected her to ‘give her her baby’.…

Choosing to house-share with roommates can be one of the most horrendous life choices you make. The first few weeks are easy peasy, as everyone is on their best behavior. A few months down the line, you're living with completely different people. It's hard to predict who is going to be insufferable, and that is exactly how you end up in this kind of situation. One man lived in an 8 person student house, so there was bound to be some drama. But everyone has their own threshold for how much crazi…

Here's a newsflash to Karens everywhere: airline employees can't control the weather.

Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and it's human nature to make grand assumptions about people based on their appearance. One woman was styling a bride-to-be, who came in with her rude, entitled family. The bride stylist didn't exactly give the impression of someone who speaks Spanish; in her own words, she is ‘whiter than a jar of mayo’. The bride's family took her appearance as an excuse to say awful things to her face, going as far as to fat shame her. Little did they know, sh…

Stories like this are a dime a dozen, the reason for that being that many new managers make the common mistake of trying to change rules that work, for rules that don't. One man was working for a subsidiary of a fortune 500 as a manager of a dev team. Everything was working perfectly until a new security manager came along, and revoked the admin rights of OP's team. This led to a handful of problems, which were brought to the security manager, who waved them off. In fact, he replied to every em…

There's an age-old saying that can—although said in many different ways—be summarized as: If you're going to break the rules, don't break two rules at the same time. It's a simple, logical rationalization that boils down to mitigating risks. When you break multiple rules simultaneously, you just multiply your chances of being caught. In addition to that, when you get caught for one… you're probably going to get caught for both—and pay the price for both. There's also the added risk of more peop…
