This employee's extracurricular activities were not a good look for the hotel's reputation. What's particularly funny about this story of an unprofessional employee getting justly fired is that it wasn't a coworker or manager who figured out what he was doing. In fact, it was another front desk agent at a totally different hotel. This agent was contacted by the bad employee, who was trying to book a 20-day stay using someone else's credit card information. The agent started to sense that someth…

This epic mode of payback has people divided over whether or not this teacher is a brilliant mastermind or entirely out-of-line. Truth be told, it's a very tough call. On the one hand, we love when students who think they can get away with manipulating their teachers get their well-deserved comeuppance. On the other, it's clear from this teacher's first-person account of the whole debacle that they got a lot of joy out of radically affecting the future of these kids, particularly when it came t…

These bridesmaids have run out of patience with their bridezilla friend. At least they have an interesting plan in place to get back at this “friend." The wedding registries of today make it incredibly easy to send a thoughtful gift to the soon-to-be couple. Thanks to a bevy of websites that specialize in this, couples can make a list of everything their hearts desire as gifts. From cookware to clothing to furniture, today's couples can add even the most outrageous items to their registries kno…

If your boss tried to ruin your holidays , you'd be seeking revenge too. After working roughly 50 weeks out of the year, having a vacation is so necessary. It makes you remember what life is all about: having a ton of fun with the people you love most. Whether you're taking a week to go to the beach with your kids or grabbing five of your close friends and going to Vegas, it's great to focus on having fun and relaxing. I imagine that's also especially true for workaholics. If you're working 80-…

Lawyers have a certain reputation for being a little shady. This reputation isn't representative of all lawyers, but there are always a handful of them who prey on people. When people come to lawyers , they're at a point of desperation—maybe they've been in a car crash, or they're going through a messy divorce, or they're squabbling with their landlord. Most folks out there just don't know much about the law, and they rely heavily on their lawyers to sort it out for them. Not only are legal iss…

There's this thing that happens in life that you'll see time and time again, where you meet someone in a position of authority and can't help but wonder how in the heck they got there. Maybe they're not necessarily cruel (though that's usually the case), but they'll be so obstinate and incompetent that you can't help but be surprised that no one else noticed.

When someone uses the phrase “So sue me,” they're really saying, “I know you're not going to sue me, so you might as well just deal with my terrible behavior.” What they often don't realize is that you might actually want to sue them

This first-class internet tale is a literary masterpiece, complete with classic themes of right and wrong, unstoppable forces, agents of chaos, and a savvy professor teaching his students the rewards of critical thinking—complete with the bad guys getting their just deserts in the end. It has echoes of some of the greatest literary classics and is one of those stories, an almost urban legend, that you hear a version of every now and again passed as something that happened to a friend of a frien…

Few things are more sinister, in an everyday sort of way, than those people who try to pass damaged goods off as being without problem, preying on the trusting, unsuspecting, or unlucky in order to turn an incredibly unscrupulous profit. These used car sellers, house flippers, and scam artists can be found hiding in plain sight—trying to pass some painted cabinets, cheap laminate wood flooring, and a sloppier paint job off as a “full renovation”—or selling a car “without issue” on Marketplace o…

When living in one flat with several roommates its is so important to keep a somewhat pleasant environment in the household. To keep the peace, there are a few thumb rules that everyone should know before moving in with someone else. The first rule of thumb would be never to take your roommate's belonging with out their permission (even if you are just ‘borrowing’ it). The second rule would be to always clean up after yourself. And lastly, well, when ‘entertaining’, always let the others know t…

There's nothing quite as classicly infuriating as being stuck in traffic, sitting trapped in your little steel box in a sea of other little steel boxes, unable to move, go anywhere, or even stretch your legs. You're feeling claustrophobic, probably running late for something , even if you thought you had left with plenty of time to spare.

This family decided to stand up for what they believed in… and what they believed in was their right to put a roof on their own home . When you're deciding where you want to live, there are plenty of factors. But one that people don't always take into consideration at first is how the weather will impact them. Now, if you're going to live somewhere like Florida, you'll have to keep that in mind right from the get-go. The weather can be warm and sunny plenty of the time. But it rains multiple ti…

If there's one thing employers hate, it's benefits; even the greatest employer or boss has likely at one point begrudgingly approved a PTO request or ticked off additional PTO for their staff. And I'll admit, as a manager, when you see a PTO request, sometimes your intrusive thoughts kick in… “Do they really need this week off?" “How about the next one?” “Can't your brother just reschedule their wedding?” Obviously, this is ridiculous, but show me a manager who hasn't had these thoughts and I'l…

Trying to wrest your deposit back from a surly landlord is like trying to convince a dog to give you a share of his dinner. It's not like your landlord is going to growl and potentially bite you… but it's also not entirely out of the question. Regardless, good luck getting much from either; your landlord considered that “deposit” to be his as soon as it hit his bank account. Never mind the fact that the place was in a state and no cleaning was done before you moved in… or the fact that he proce…

Things could have been so much easier for this company if this manager just acquiesced and accepted his employee's PTO request. Here, we have a loyal employee who was hoping to use his four paid unused vacation days that had rolled over, only to have his request denied by his manager. It wasn't just a timing or scheduling issue; the days were flat-out taken away from him. The Redditor, who shared his story via this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, gathered enough evidence and…

The tenant knew he had some leverage in this case, but he never expected it to play out so well for him. The OP in this story formerly would sit in on tenant/landlord disputes for an old job of his, so he knew how to work his way around the court. In fact, the OP actually knew he'd get summoned for not paying his rent…which is exactly why he chose to do so. He wanted to blindside his landlord with all of the unlawful schemes the complex has been trying to pull for the last few years...
