You can't always get what you want!

This person is really living the dream: they have a lakefront cottage and their own seaplane! That sounds like a cozy life: they inherited their place from a family member, and they're not even required to join their local homeowner's association . Just because you aren't part of this HOA, doesn't mean they won't still try to bug you! The HOA members are certain that they could make this dude move the seaplane. It seems to be a fairly common issue for HOAs to try everything to get more money fr…

Sometimes the universe deals you a bad hand, and how you handle that is totally up to you. Life isn't fair, and bad things do happen to even the best people. For example, a lot of people shared stories of the instant karma they've experienced on the road. While driving, numerous people shared tales of the times they were being tailgated by the driver behind them. That's when you're driving and the person behind you is riding right up close to your bumper. They're letting you know that they thin…

Imagine your flight is hours late , and suddenly, someone announces the one person who is at fault for the delay. It would be awkward, and everyone waiting to board the flight would be livid. That's what happened to one pilot who thought he was better than another airline employee. Being a pilot can be a glamorized job, and clearly this dude thought that meant he could be impolite to everyone around him as a result. The OP, u/SolidFlow, shares that they worked to refuel the aircrafts and make s…

When you're stuck on your flight waiting to take off, it's the perfect time to eavesdrop on the other passengers.

These travelers couldn't agree on who deserves to have leg room. They ended up getting in an argument, which u/earthshaker495 shared to r/MaliciousCompliance. This story takes place aboard a long haul flight — the OP was flying from Los Angeles to Singapore, a 16 hour journey. You'd certainly need to sleep and eat at least two meals aboard a flight that long. Long flights can feel endless — you can watch several full movies, only to realize you still have eight hours left of your flight. So you…

Genuine question for those who play music out loud in public places : why do you do it? Whenever I see people walking around blasting music on their phones , I usually assume they don't have headphones. From my personal experience, I know how easy it is to break, lose, or forget your headphones, leaving you without audio entertainment for a day. How annoying! Maybe that person blasting music on the train works several jobs and doesn't have a lot of personal time to enjoy music in their own home…

No one ever agrees about this debate. Depending on where you're sitting on the plane , your point of view changes on this too! The evergreen debate being had on r/AmItheA**hole is from a frustrated husband who recently flew with his wife. It seems like the trouble started right from the beginning of their flight . The dude behind the OP's wife was playing a game on the in-flight TV, meaning that he was jabbing at the back of her head! If that wasn't annoying enough, the OP's wife was really sle…

This airline worker bought the very last first class ticket , and settled in for a plane ride to Texas, until an entitled passenger disturbed him. The best part of going to the airport is the relief you feel once you're through customs and security and you find your gate. You breathe the biggest sigh of relief that you made it to your flight on time. Then, in your spare time while you wait to board, you get to shop at the airport stores, which are similar to a mall. If I ran things, I would let…

A Karen and a plane, name a more iconic duo… The frequency that the two can often be found together is regrettable. Having some entitled and insane individual with you when you're locked in a pressurized cylinder hurtling through the sky at nearly 600mph (for several uncomfortable hours) is not an ideal situation to be in. But it must be something about that uncomfortable situation of flying that causes these emotionally infantile people to lose their slightest semblance of sanity. You know Sam…

Flying in a plane is never comfortable. The seats are cramped, the aisle are awkwardly narrow, and the food is basically 3D printed. Most travelers understand that there's a certain etiquette that must be that must be followed to prevent further discomfort for the good of the rest of the group and a few unspoken rules simply cannot be broken. Never bring your own hard boiled eggs for a snack, never let your kiddos play annoying games on your phone at full volume, and absolutely, never, EVER tak…

Nice.
