'Fire me and I fire back': Irresponsible telemarketer gets let go, enacts payback by stinking up the bathroom for 6 months

'Fire me and I fire back': Irresponsible telemarketer gets let go, enacts payback by stinking up the bathroom for 6 months

The anecdotes about this telemarketer have made it crystal clear that he's the problem. His form of petty revenge after he got let go only further proves that he's got a twisted mind. Creative, mind you, but twisted nonetheless. The Redditor who recounted this story begins with some background information about how as a teenager, he blamed his girlfriend for having a bathroom accident in his parents' vacation home… and that's not where bathroom accidents end in this story. Of course, it shows e…

Entitled parents of 7-year-old try to cut the line at Disney World, cast member schools them: 'Feel free to get in the regular line if you want to ride together'

Theme parks can bring out the absolute worst in families. You're likely to see anything from screaming children to obnoxious teenagers to entitled parents. In this story, you get a little bit of it all. Here, we've got a theme park attendee who was waiting in a single-rider line and saw a family of folks right in front of them, who clearly wanted to ride together but had no desire to wait in the regular line as the wait time was over an hour. Of course, when it was finally their turn, the paren…

'It’s not his fault if I can’t sleep': Tenant gives neighbor who always plays loud music a taste of his own medicine, sabotaging his party

It sounds like Dave had it coming! After shrugging off a series of complaints from his neighbor about playing loud music well into the middle of the night, it was time for Dave's comeuppance. The Redditor who shared this story first made it known that he tried his best to be polite and understanding when he voiced his concerns to Dave, to no avail. Dave laughed it off and made it seem like it wasn't his problem. It's the laugh that definitely triggered something in the Redditor. When he learned…

College student proves professor wasn't reading their weekly essays, continues getting the same grade with minimal effort: '[I] wrote half a sentence then typed some gibberish'

College student proves professor wasn't reading their weekly essays, continues getting the same grade with minimal effort: '[I] wrote half a sentence then typed some gibberish'

Has anyone else had the sneaking suspicion that their professor was doing the bare minimum when it came to grading essays? Of course, if students are encouraged to try hard, shouldn't their teachers lead by example? In an ideal world, yes… but this is far from an ideal world. Here, we have a college student who was assigned short weekly papers that ultimately amounted to just 10% of the grade (each paper was 1% and was graded out of 10). After the first six weeks of the course, the student was…

To commemorate this strange time of year, we have compiled a list of the top 20 mildly infuriating Halloween-related debac…

Resident exploits loophole in HOA policy, now they can't approve changes to public streets in the community: 'They've stopped issuing violations altogether'

Every so often, you come across a story where a resident managed to successfully pull a fast one on their HOA. Obviously, this is a rare occurrence. The vast majority of our HOA stories involve residents getting into failed legal battles with entitled Karens who have nothing better to do than enforce unnecessary rules and regulations. However, here, we have a Redditor who discovered a loophole in his HOA policy and worked to exploit said loophole from the inside. As a board member himself, the…

Mother and stepfather try to force 16-year-old to take his half and step-siblings to the waterpark with his grandparents: 'She's worried the other kids will feel left out'

Family is difficult, perhaps even one of the most difficult things. Even when the relationships are fairly "traditional" and straightforward, let's be honest: what is straightforward? Is there even really a straightforward when it comes to family? The reality is that there hardly ever is, and the families that try and act like things are straightforward are the most likely to be hiding something. When families are more complex, mixed, or “blended” things get even further from simple. And who is…

'Fine. Cancel the trip. The whole thing': Entitled Karen denied early boarding on flight, threatens to cancel the trip, gate agent maliciously complies

Boarding a flight can feel like an interminable process, especially if you have found yourself in the final boarding group. Sometimes, you try to position yourself at the gate so that you'll be the first person in line when your group is finally called, but people end up thinking you're already in line and you have to step aside because you are not, in fact, worthy enough of being in Groups 1 through 4. Here, we have an entitled Karen passenger who insisted on being bumped up to an earlier boar…

23-year-old croc-wearing boyfriend draws girlfriend's wrath when he insists on wearing crocs to every occasion, readers are divided on the issue: 'He feels like I am controlling him by asking him not to wear Crocs'

Most of us probably have that item of clothing that we wear whenever we can. When we're wearing it, we feel good, we look good, and most importantly, we are comfortable. As we get older, comfort takes priority, and looking smart is just an added bonus. Of course, if your favorite item of clothing is your Crocs, you're not ever going to look smart, but more power to you because at least you'll look out of place in a nice restaurant in unparalleled comfort. Whether it was picking apples or fancy…

'I choose to no longer entertain this position': HR abruptly cancels job candidate's scheduled interview and hires someone else, that person rejects them, HR comes crawling back

It's always challenging to entertain an opportunity from people who once rejected you. Of course, there are plenty of scenarios in which one should not allow one's ego to keep oneself from a legitimately great opportunity, especially if the initial rejection was polite and sensibly delivered. However, that was certainly not the case with this Redditor's unfortunate situation. He had a previously scheduled interview with human resources for a job opportunity that was then abruptly canceled befor…

'HOA fined me $1500': Guy gets back at HOA by planting sound emitters in communal elevator, costing them a fortune to fix

It’s rare to see someone successfully get back at their HOA these days, but as it turns out, miracles can happen and this dude really worked wonders. After he was fined a nonsensical $1500 for taking a plank of wood down the communal elevator despite there being no other mode of transport, he decided that the best way to get even with these guys was to mess up their elevator without any trace of evidence that could get back to him. He did this by planting mini sound emitters that would erupt in…

Sure, kids make mistakes, but some kids know exactly what they're doing. This 16-year-old, Sean , had a habit of playing innocent pranks on his stepfather, which were mostly allowed as long as they were minor and playful. At one point, he splashed cold water on his stepdad while he was sleeping, which only really became a problem when he posted footage of the prank on social media. His stepdad forced Sean to take down the video, and Sean never really got over it. That's when he decided to play…
