More often than not, wedding planning results in more conflict than joyous anticipation. What should be exciting and celebratory ends up quickly falling to madness as family members impose unnecessary demands and usurp the event as if it is their own. Sure, perhaps your parents are contributing financially to some of the wedding festivities, but that does not give anyone the right to make decisions behind your back. Here, we have a bride whose mother fully went against her wishes and ordered a…

Well, at least they didn't make a big deal out of nothing

This college student is suing her parents for all they stole from her. The Redditor's great-aunt placed a high value on education for women and saved a ton of money to pay the college tuition for the Redditor and other women in the family. However, when it was time for the original poster (OP) to go to college, she found out that nearly all of those funds were used by her parents to help pay for her brother's wedding. Not only is that unethical considering the money was meant for OP, but also i…

Everyone's been embarrassed by their parents at some point growing up. More often than not, we accept these embarrassing moments as a part of the adolescent experience. Rarely do we see children grow up harboring a desire to recreate said embarrassing moments but with the roles reversed. Here, we have a playful and wholesome moment when a now 38-year-old Redditor decided to get even with her mother by telling her how much she loves her in a public setting, something her mother used to do when t…

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…

Doing favors for people generally would be met with some sort of reciprocation or thanks, and you would generally expect to be compensated for any of your own resources you might spend helping them. Say, something like paying someone for gas when they've given you a ride or picked you up from the airport. It's not an equal transaction because you're not compensating them for their time or for the service they've provided you, but you're at least saving them from bearing the most direct financia…

Imagine getting in trouble during your first week at a new job because you didn't stand up when your boss entered the room. Who does this employer think he is, a king? You would think in this day and age, given all the cultural conversations we have been having regarding employees' rights and backward workplace behavior, that this would not be allowed. And yet, the other employees in this office, from the bottom of the “food chain” to the top, seem to feel that this is the appropriate standard.…

Some people are relentless, but that doesn't mean you should let them have their way. This male nurse had a coworker who could not accept his desire to not be her Man of Honor at her upcoming wedding. Of course, this is a delicate situation, and the Redditor's decision is entirely within his right. Furthermore, based on how the entitled bridezilla coworker responded, it's clear that he's making the right choice. She continued to press the matter further and ended up incessantly bothering him at…

It's never too late to stand up for yourself in the workplace. This company man was the kind of guy who always went above and beyond and was never properly rewarded for that extra effort. After 11 years at the company, he was once again passed over for a big promotion in favor of a much younger, newer coworker. Finally, it was time for this employee to become disillusioned. Now, he understood what all the younger colleagues and coworkers at the office were talking about when folks were doing th…

Even though he was offered a full refund

Let's face it: a lot of us were miserable about stuff when we were kids and teenagers that we would later go on to regret. Even if you have the most positive home environment, it's a confusing and difficult time in your development. Even still, I know there were times when I caused a stink about something only to go on to have the best day, leaving me with lifelong regret for making it difficult for my parents in the first place. But, when you're a teen , there's a high likelihood that you're g…

"They have 8-10 people living there with a car for each person so that means more spaces are taken on the street every day..."

This is how you get fired, y'all! This substitute teacher stepped in while the Redditor's actual teacher was on maternity leave, and let's just say that she quickly became unpopular. Of course, it's easy for students to dislike substitute teachers, but this time, it was justified. Everyone who was getting A's in the class up to that point quickly started getting C's. She frequently went on tirades about how all the students in her class were entitled. She clearly was projecting and had an axe t…

Always be careful with the words you say at work, folks! This micromanager was so annoyed by his employee wearing headphones in the office simply because he had to call his nice twice on one occasion. Talk about a power trip! In this day and age, nearly everyone wears headphones in offices to focus. Plus, the employee's line of work never involves serious or dangerous circumstances that would require him not to wear headphones. So when the boss told the employee he never wanted to see him weari…

Taylor Swift’s diehard fans, who call themselves “Swifties,” have a reputation (pun intended) for being an intense fandom who will protect their queen no matter what. Swift is one of the most-followed people on Instagram . She makes roughly $13.6 million per concert, and at the time of publication, Swift has been touring for well over 18 months, netting herself more than $2 billion just from ticket sales alone (not including merch or album sales!). She has never been more of a household name th…

Most people have had fantasies of enacting some sweet vengeance on their landlords. Let's be honest: most of the time, that revenge would be earned. Whether it's raising your rent to an unnecessary amount or ignoring your incessant requests to repair that leak in your ceiling, you could probably spend hours talking about all the reasons why your landlord deserves some sort of comeuppance. Here, we have the resident of a duplex who had recently gotten into gardening. Unfortunately for the Reddit…
