'I pulled 60 quarters out of my pocket and set them on the counter': Restaurant cashier complains about credit card transactions, prompting one of her regulars to teach her a lesson about the inconvenience of cash

Credit cards are insanely convenient. Nowadays, you don't even need to swipe your card to pay, you can just whip that little bad boy out, tap your plastic money on the terminal, and BAM, you've made a purchase. Old school folks have reluctantly accepted that everyone prefers to pay with plastic money, idealizing the old ways of counting cash and receiving change in exchange for goods or services. But with all that spare change jangling around in your pocket, wouldn't you rather...

'My neighbors won't stop screaming': Guy plays heavy metal all day as payback for his neighbors' constant partying

Is there anything worse for non-confrontational folks than having to confront your noisy neighbors? As a non-confrontational person myself, I get anxious just thinking about being put in this position. I still have stress dreams about that time I had a crazy neighbor complain about my ceiling fan. Or that time when someone thought I was having a party when it was the people next door. Somehow, I still felt like it was my fault. So if you dread these kinds of encounters and that's just when you'…

'It's my house... I can do what I want': Wannabe early-bird roommate hits snooze from 5AM to 6AM everyday; roomie gets payback by getting up immediately and being as loud as possible

There are two kinds of people in the world: People who hit snooze when their alarm rings and people who get up right away. Although it may seem trivial, this should probably be the first thing you ask in your future-roommate's interview because the two disciplines of alarm management cannot coexist in the same home. Period.

'I questioned her moral choice to pick fabric over a baby': Entitled sister makes outrageous threats after sibling would not loan her a wedding dress

Let's set the record straight: we, along with the rest of Reddit, are totally Team OP. Let's get into it. The story starts out with the OP's Karen of a stepsister mortifying her at a family dinner. She drops the bombshell that she's expecting, and then, in an attempt at a toast, she calls out her sister for being "bigger in size and heart." Not cool. And if that wasn't enough, the stepsister then thanks the OP for letting her...

'I love vegetables': Grocery shopper gets even with a couple who cut her in line at the deli by hijacking their veggie tray days later as revenge

In some cultures, waiting your turn in line is sacred. The unspoken rules of waiting in line are generally understood by the populous and thus, the balance and order in society is maintained– until some rabble-rousing rebels come swooping in with their own agenda on their mind, cutting straight to the front like they don't even notice the queue of people who respectfully waited.

'The final straw was when she borrowed my car [and] caused $1000 worth of damage': Student gets even with nightmare roommate by messing with the music library on her laptop

Most young people make naive decisions when it comes to who they choose to live with. Personally, I've been known to make this mistake. Even when you have the slightest hesitation when the idea of living together presents itself, you go through a process of self-denial where you essentially convince yourself that the two of you are a perfect cohabitating match, but the reality is that not all great friends make great roommates, and sometimes living together can become the beginning of the end o…

'Without consulting anyone, I switched our tickets last minute': Dad abandons daughter on family vacation to take a 40th anniversary trip with his wife

Alright, so here's the deal. Our OP (aka the dad) did in fact change their family vacation plans the night before departure, leaving his daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids hanging. But tbh, he might be valid in this case. Our OP and his wife have been dreaming about a romantic getaway to celebrate their love for the 40th anniversary for a while. It might be the only trip they can manage for a while due to the costs. But when their daughter caught wind of it...

If you've ever strolled into a bank, queued up at a teller's window, and politely asked to withdraw some cash, you probably know the drill. You obviously need to show your ID because, I mean, anyone could just waltz in and pretend to be you and then snag money right out of your account. It's just common sense.

'I called the rescue and told them': Cat lover thwarts their former friend's cat adoption after finding out she declawed and abandoned her last kitten

Most animal lovers would agree that any human who mistreats or abandons a pet doesn't deserve to get another one just because they feel like it, but what would your conscience say if you had the power to stop that villain from adopting more pets? Would you let them go home with the 'kitten of the week'? Or would you stop them in their tracks?

If you've been around the airport block a few times, you know we've all had our fair share of airport drama. It could be your bag playing a game of "almost too heavy," a little extra TLC from TSA during security checks, or navigating those airports that need a freakin' tram to get from one end to the other.

It's refreshing to read that for once, the folks at a car dealership were those ones who had to pay up.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ko-Riel , who explained that they purchased a car with three years of maintenance included. When it came time for the c…
