'My coworker has it out for me': 29-year-old bartender on closing shift gets back at work enemy by making her opening shift the next day more difficult

'My coworker has it out for me': 29-year-old bartender on closing shift gets back at work enemy by making her opening shift the next day more difficult

Engaging in a petty back-and-forth with your coworker is, more often than not, a recipe for disaster. However, sometimes you have no choice but to defend yourself. Here, we have a 29-year-old bartender who often was put on the closing shifts at the small but popular bar where she worked. One morning, her coworker who was on the subsequent opening shift tried to get her in trouble with their manager for a mistake she had not made the night before. So, the Redditor decided that the best way to ge…

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

Entitled tenant gives a month's notice to homeowners, they arrive at the house at the due date, only to find out she hasn't left at all: ‘I pay rent, so I own this house’

As much as society likes to push people to become homeowners, and keeps emphasizing how important it is to own a property, being a homeowner is also a lot of pain. Especially if you have to rent out the home you own to others. Here at FailBlog, as much as we enjoy judging landlords, we fully understand that being one cannot be easy. That is why sometimes when a dispute arises between a landlord and a tenant, we tend to agree more with the landlord. Take the homeowners in this Reddit story as an…

Neighbor's kids sneak into resident's pool despite him refusing them repeatedly, leading resident to put up a fence to stop them from getting near the property: ‘You got fenced’

Neighbor's kids sneak into resident's pool despite him refusing them repeatedly, leading resident to put up a fence to stop them from getting near the property: ‘You got fenced’

Some people grow up in big houses with a front and back yard, and a lot of space. Other people, mostly due to location and not necessarily because of money, grow up in an apartment, with a few rooms, maybe a balcony, and a lot of neighbors. In my family, one of our favorite discussions is which one is better when it comes to having neighbors. For some reason, having neighbors in an apartment building is not as annoying as neighbors who live in a house next to yours. We can't explain it, but the…

'It’s just a little longer wait': Entitled woman uses express checkout lane for full cart of groceries, petty shopper gets revenge by blocking her car in the parking lot

Nothing stirs up grocery store rage quite like the "10 items or less" lane offender. When one shopper noticed the woman in front of him breaking the rule with a cart load of items, he tried to politely call her out. But this lady wasn't having it, brushing off his remark and saying, "It's just a little longer wait." Then, her kids joined in on the chaos, running back and forth to add even more items to her pile until she had officially annoyed everyone in line, including the cashier.

Neighbors accuse resident of stealing after she throws away their packages that were delivered to her house, resident gets warned about being scammed: ‘They guilt you into paying them off’

It is funny how nothing stops you from having packages delivered to any random house, as long as you know the address. There is little to no reason to do so, but if one wants, they can send anyone anything with only a few clicks on their phones. Apparently, some people have packages delivered to other people's houses as a form of scam—they send the packages to another house, wait a few days, arrive to claim those packages, and then, if the person who received them already threw them out, they a…

'Granny on a mission': 82-year-old grandmother fights grandkid's Karen neighbor for tossing debris into their garden

'Granny on a mission': 82-year-old grandmother fights grandkid's Karen neighbor for tossing debris into their garden

This resident's step-grandmother deserves a shoutout! After all, she had the chutzpah and the audacity to confront her step-grandkid's Karen neighbor after she repeatedly treated him like poorly and thought she could get away with it. Thankfully, the kid had a secret weapon: his 82-year-old arthritic relative. For some more backstory, the Karen next door had a habit of actively dumping debris into the Redditor's garden. She also would get frustrated at the original poster (OP) for parking his c…

'Cut me in line?': Babysitter and 3-year-old kid get back at entitled line-cutting Karen by blocking her from leaving the parking lot

'Cut me in line?': Babysitter and 3-year-old kid get back at entitled line-cutting Karen by blocking her from leaving the parking lot

It's not fun to call out a line cutter. In fact, most folks do not consider confrontation with strangers to be their strong suit, and yet sometimes, there is no other alternative but to call these people out on their nonsense. Here, we have a babysitter who was purchasing a toy with the 3-year-old she was taking care of at the time. When it was their turn at checkout, the 3-year-old accidentally dropped the toy, which gave the impatient Karen behind them the opportunity to cut the line and insi…

'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

Here is yet another tale of an entitled parent making their kid's wedding festivities entirely about them. However, for once, the bride and groom managed to win out in the end. Let's start with a little backstory. The Redditor had a tumultuous relationship with her brother and his wife that resulted in a mutual understanding that they would not be attending the Redditor's upcoming nuptials… that is, until their entitled Karen Mommy decided to intervene. On top of inviting the brother and his wi…

Resident gets fed up with workers blocking his driveway with cars, so he cleverly blocks them in return, leading to a dispute when they try to leave: ‘I completely lost it at them’

If you live in a private house, you must have had at least a few problems with other people blocking the entrance to your house, specifically your driveway. In areas where parking spots are few and far between, you might constantly find yourself bickering with neighbors about who can park where, and that can drive anyone up the wall. Nobody can blame the resident who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) for how they handled a similar situation with the construction workers in the neigh…

'Take up 7 seats?': 40-year-old Karen lets kids take up too much space on crowded train, passenger gives Karen a tough time for the next 20 minutes

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

Resident refuses to stain neighbor's new fence after accidentally removing the old one and replacing it for free, leading to a dispute: ‘He's trying to take me for a ride’

Resident refuses to stain neighbor's new fence after accidentally removing the old one and replacing it for free, leading to a dispute: ‘He's trying to take me for a ride’

Many people live by the rule of – 'I rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission', and while that rule is helpful in some cases, you should be careful about who you try it with and how. For example, if a kid wants to go out with friends and they don't know if their mom will let them, then sure, they can try the forgiveness over permission thing, worst that will happen is maybe they'll be grounded for a few days. But as adults, your actions have a lot more consequences and a lot more risk…

The anecdotes about this telemarketer have made it crystal clear that he's the problem. His form of petty revenge after he got let go only further proves that he's got a twisted mind. Creative, mind you, but twisted nonetheless. The Redditor who recounted this story begins with some background information about how as a teenager, he blamed his girlfriend for having a bathroom accident in his parents' vacation home… and that's not where bathroom accidents end in this story. Of course, it shows e…
