'How do you like snakes?': Neighbor strikes back after Airbnb guests constantly wander onto his property, shares true stories of 30+ snakes living in rental house

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

'Time is money': New boss enforces efficiency policy, backfires as employees start making mistakes, boss's job is on the line

'Time is money': New boss enforces efficiency policy, backfires as employees start making mistakes, boss's job is on the line

Sometimes, the best kind of leadership is stepping back when things are working perfectly fine. Here, we have a new boss who came from a more fast-paced startup environment. He decided that the best way to get his team members to like him was by enforcing an entirely new policy without their input that would prioritize efficiency over everything else, including quality. This was the kind of guy who didn't like any hint of hesitation, so this Redditor complied, albeit maliciously. He knew that a…

Here is yet another tale of an entitled parent making their kid's wedding festivities entirely about them. However, for once, the bride and groom managed to win out in the end. Let's start with a little backstory. The Redditor had a tumultuous relationship with her brother and his wife that resulted in a mutual understanding that they would not be attending the Redditor's upcoming nuptials… that is, until their entitled Karen Mommy decided to intervene. On top of inviting the brother and his wi…

family family drama Family feud siblings sibling rivalry sisters family feud aita reddit thread reddit story

15-year-old publicly calls out her parents for their preferential treatment of her 17-year-old sister during family gathering: '[Things] got awkward after and my parents yelled at me'

Sisters, can't live with ‘em and—can’t live with ‘em… When it comes to siblings, disagreements, spats, and petty arguments are just part of the bargain, and even if you grow up to be best of friends, there will be points when you’re growing up where you just want to tear each other's hair out. None of this is helped at all by sibling rivalries, the other complex family dynamics, and the topsy-turvy changes of adolescence. Still, things aren't quite even that simple or straightforward when narci…

'I won't do business with family': Entitled fully grown uncle tries to convince nephew to co-sign on a loan for a new home, nephew refuses causing family drama

Drawing boundaries with family members is often a necessity. It's not fun to do, but if you don't do it, people are going to rely on you well into their adult years, when they are supposed to be independent. Here , we're not dealing with an overly kind and compromising parent to a needy adult man-child, which is often the case when we come across these stories. Instead, we're dealing with an overly kind and compromising nephew to an even more childish and messy uncle. This uncle had a series of…

'I wasn't going to sign something that wasn't my fault': Micromanager tries to shame barista for leaving work due to family emergency despite advanced warning

'I wasn't going to sign something that wasn't my fault': Micromanager tries to shame barista for leaving work due to family emergency despite advanced warning

It should come as no surprise to any manager that every once in a while, someone on your team is going to need to call out sick or miss work because of unforeseen circumstances. If the team is well-managed, things should be fine, nothing should implode, and it should be pretty easy to find another coworker to temporarily pick up the slack if necessary. However, if the team is not well-managed, it's easy for everything to fall apart and for the flaws in management to become grossly apparent. Her…

'Take up 7 seats?': 40-year-old Karen lets kids take up too much space on crowded train, passenger gives Karen a tough time for the next 20 minutes

It may seem impolite to criticize someone else's parenting choice, but every once in a while, it's necessary… especially if other people are being impacted by said choices. Here, we have a 40-year-old entitled Karen who, along with her two kids, was taking up seven entire seats on the train. This would not necessarily be an issue if it was a quiet, empty subway car. However, in this particular situation, there were more folks who were standing than sitting, including several elderly people who…

Entitled neighbor beings parking in homeowner's driveway, still unapologetic after making them late for work: 'My neighbor thinks my driveway is her free parking spot'

Parking disputes are always tricky, and there's a lot of grey area when it comes to who is in the right, especially when it comes to public parking, where it becomes a matter of who pulled up to the spot first and was waiting, which results in a lot of he-said-she-said situations when it comes to who deserves the spot. Similarly, a lot of parking disputes arise in neighborhoods when someone is parking a noisy car or for long periods of time right out in front of your house. Sure, the street is…

'No employee is allowed to work from home': Remote employee forced to come in unexpectedly despite medical issues, boss won't return his phone calls

'No employee is allowed to work from home': Remote employee forced to come in unexpectedly despite medical issues, boss won't return his phone calls

Enforcing new work policies on employees out of nowhere and without notice is bound to lead to some pushback. Contrary to the beliefs of bosses of a certain generation, not every fully remote or hybrid employee enjoys their situation because of laziness. Sometimes, it's about commuting. Sometimes, it's about the nature of their work and daily responsibilities. Other times, it's a medical issue, which is consistent with this Redditor's experience. After working remotely at a small company of und…

'Don't mess with food safety': Entitled bride and groom tried to serve old dried fish to 300+ wedding guests, venue rejects them

One should not be allowed to have a massive wedding ceremony if one wants to serve one's guests of more than 300 friends and family members a bunch of old, dried fish. This entitled bride and groom attempted to allow the caterers and venue to serve fish that had been sitting outside for upwards of five hours. The caterers rejected this and deemed it to be a food safety issue and a violation of the contract the couple had signed. However, once the wedding reception began, the groom doubled down…

'I think my boss is tracking me': Nanny calls the cops on entitled Mommy Boss after discovering boss is tracking her every move

There is a slight difference between micromanaging and spying on your employee's every move. It doesn't matter what the job is, even if it's being the caretaker of your children. There has to be a boundary, especially outside of work hours. Here, we have an entitled Mommy Boss, who was already tracking her kids by placing devices on their backpacks. At least she was upfront about that with her nanny. However, after a few strange instances, the nanny started to suspect that her employer was not…
