There is a big difference between living with roommates and having a landlord and living with your landlord as a roommate. Nobody wants to do the latter, for starters. Having roommates is hard enough, imagine how unbearable it would be to have your landlord as a roommate, watching over your every move. If you are a landlord, and you are looking for roommates, I would definitely recommend telling them what they are walking into, because they deserve to know. That is what I would tell the girl in…

Never mess with a flight attendant. This lady was in a relationship with her pilot boyfriend and often stayed at his apartment when she was off and while he was still working. Unfortunately, she discovered that he had an entirely separate relationship with another girlfriend, who was staying at his second apartment in Hong Kong. It must be fairly easy to cheat and hide the truth when your job is to travel all over the world. Thankfully, this lady was not going to go without a fight. Before leav…

When an entitled aunt decided to bring along eight friends for an international trip to a family member's wake, she clearly crossed a line. Not only did she expect her family to cover the friends' accommodations, but she also thought her presence would be a welcome addition to the somber occasion. The niece, who was driving to pick up the aunt and other family members, found herself waiting over an hour for their arrival. When the aunt finally showed up, she arrived with all her friends in tow,…

And the internet thinks she's being a huge brat.

Most high-achieving students have had to deal with slackers in the class. They might ask for your input on a writing assignment, only to try to get you to write the entire essay for them. They might mooch off of your study guide. They might contribute next to nothing on a group project and attempt to take all the credit. And of course, they might look over your shoulder during a class test. Here, we have a student who understandably had enough of the slacker who sat next to him in class and rep…

Don't just get petty— get creative. Try to become so petty it strikes fear (or laughter) into the hearts of those around you. Become formidable and unchallenged by societal norms! Communication comes easily for some people, but for others it can be intimidating. Instead of asking for what they want, they'd rather use passive-aggressive behavior to get what they desire. In some cases, it's the safer option: you never know how a stranger might react to you asking them to switch seats with you on…

Surely we've all had that inner conflict between being kind to others and being true to ourselves, and it's hard to find the right balance between the two. On one hand, you want to do good and help other people however you can, while on the other hand, that help can come with a price, a price that you might not feel ready to pay. The couple in this story bought a secluded house because they wanted as much privacy as they could get, and they were pretty happy about their purchase. That was until…

Group chat decorum can be a source of plenty of tension among teams in the workplace. Sometimes, people spam channels with far too many messages that end up only affecting one or two individuals. No one needs to be getting all those notifications. Then, there are folks who choose to take the opportunity to criticize someone else's work as an “example” rather than privately messaging them. Nine times out of ten, this is not actually about giving the whole team a worthwhile lesson. Instead, it's…

There is a right way to ask people for favors, and a wrong way, and there is absolutely no reason for you to go the wrong way. If you want the favor you're asking to actually get done, then the only way to go is the right way, which is really not that hard of a concept to comprehend. Take the neighbors in this Reddit story as an example. OP (original poster) rented a dumpster after they got work done in their house, meaning they paid for a large container to throw away all the trash they had fr…

"He screamed, I mean screamed, ‘You agreed to work on this project weeks ago!’ I repeated his words verbatim."

Some neighbors really think they can get away with just about anything. We've seen various iterations of this problem, whether it's stealing packages to spying on one another. However, this neighbor really took things too far and managed to build an entire house on the wrong side of the property line. We're pretty shocked that this Redditor had no idea this was happening until months down the road. It turns out this was not his primary home, so he didn't notice during the winter months when con…

How's this for lawn care?!

It turns out that the best way to get back at one's nuisance of a neighbor is to get the HOA involved. Of course, homeowner's associations are typically the enemies when we cover them here at FAIL Blog, but every so often, we come across a story where people manage to use HOAs for good. In this case , the righteousness here was getting rid of a frustrating neighbor who refused to leave this Redditor alone. It got so bad that the Redditor decided to document every HOA violation he witnessed. Nat…

If you've ever suffered the effects of living next door to someone entitled, loud, Karenish, unaware, creepy, or just downright insufferable, you've probably laid awake in bed at night thinking of ways to get your revenge.

Who else thinks the pink apartment is way worse? Clearly, these “besties” are not exactly the friendliest to one another because these pranks are far from innocent. This Redditor detests the color pink, so when she was away for the weekend, her BFF sought an opportunity and painted her room pink, along with replacing furniture and decor with pink-colored items. This isn't exactly the kind of prank that can be easily reversed. As a New Yorker, my immediate first thought was how is she going to g…
