Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that your coworkers are not required to go out of their way for you. Here, we have a selfish employee who announced their retirement six months prior to their last day on the job. She assumed that their “work bestie” would organize a going away party for them

When there's a reckless driver on the road, one's first instinct is presumably to protect oneself and to protect the others on the road. However, this Redditor deserves some props for not only doing that but also for finding a way to enact some safe yet satisfying petty revenge. Here's how he pulled it off. The reckless driver in question was also not the smartest person in the world, as he plastered his car with lots of personal details such as his name, phone, and website. That's because he's…

"Her daughter comes and puts up a security camera pointing into our garage area and backyard... So of course my husband now intends to get 3 more cameras for that side of the house to freak her out even more."

This resident's step-grandmother deserves a shoutout! After all, she had the chutzpah and the audacity to confront her step-grandkid's Karen neighbor after she repeatedly treated him like poorly and thought she could get away with it. Thankfully, the kid had a secret weapon: his 82-year-old arthritic relative. For some more backstory, the Karen next door had a habit of actively dumping debris into the Redditor's garden. She also would get frustrated at the original poster (OP) for parking his c…

Most people in relationships will tell you that the biggest arguments can stem from the most unexpected, seemingly harmless things. However, as the Redditor who shared this post mentioned, it's not really about the minutiae; it's about the bigger picture. In this instance, the bigger picture here is the fact that the original poster (OP) is the breadwinner and the person who foots the grocery bill 99% of the time, and yet, her very simple requests have not been respected. Essentially, OP purcha…

It's not fun to call out a line cutter. In fact, most folks do not consider confrontation with strangers to be their strong suit, and yet sometimes, there is no other alternative but to call these people out on their nonsense. Here, we have a babysitter who was purchasing a toy with the 3-year-old she was taking care of at the time. When it was their turn at checkout, the 3-year-old accidentally dropped the toy, which gave the impatient Karen behind them the opportunity to cut the line and insi…

Making adjustments to your schedule and going out of your way to accommodate and do favors for others only to have them cancel on you at the last minute or throw it back in your face is going to make you like not to do it again. Really, no one can blame you for that—well, except that same disgruntled and entitled friend or family member who is coming back around looking for another favor and expecting you to drop everything at a moment's notice for them again. Sure, it's great for parents to ha…

It's called a 9-5 for a reason!

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.

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…

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…

"After all, I was just following orders."

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…

"They were being bullies and calling us pathetic, kids are kids, we are the grinch..."

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…
