Simple problems require simple solutions, and sometimes, that solution need not be any more complex than sitting on top of (or just beside) the problem. Some background knowledge for those unacquainted: the airline mentioned in the story does not have predetermined seats, and seats are determined like a massive game of musical chairs and are based on who can get to the seats first. Honestly, we have no idea who thought these free-for-alls were a good idea. It's crazy to think that something as…

There are plenty of workplace scams out there. Coworkers that are selling Tupperware, vitamin supplements, or overpriced chocolate bars to support their kid's baseball team should be avoided at all costs. Although most people learn the difference between a swindling colleague and a desperate one...

Abandoned carts in a parking lot are the WORST. I can't even count the number of times I've been cruising through a parking lot at a snail's pace, scouting for a sweet spot, only to spot the perfect one, mentally busting out a happy dance, and then bam, there's a darn cart smack in the way. It seriously tests your faith in humanity, doesn't it? Well, our OP must deal with this parking lot madness daily because this one fateful day, it was the final straw.

Don't mess with a dad on vacation

For context, the entitled coworker who had to wait because of a delayed flight was, in fact, the pilot. Our hero, the OP who tricked him into waiting for two hours, was part of the crew. You think the pilot would know when his flight is delayed, right? Wrong. That just shows you the VIP entitlement complex this man has. But for real, he deserved it for doing this...

Good teachers are sticklers about things, and the ones you learn the most from are the ones who are insistent upon correctness to an absurd level. That said, every teacher isn't always going to be correct about everything and may wind up insisting on something that is wildly incorrect —like that time when your 6th-grade teacher told you that you couldn't start a sentence with a conjunction. But, further down the line, you later probably came to find that that wasn't really true or a grammatical…

Credit cards are insanely convenient. Nowadays, you don't even need to swipe your card to pay, you can just whip that little bad boy out, tap your plastic money on the terminal, and BAM, you've made a purchase. Old school folks have reluctantly accepted that everyone prefers to pay with plastic money, idealizing the old ways of counting cash and receiving change in exchange for goods or services. But with all that spare change jangling around in your pocket, wouldn't you rather...

It's amazing how some people get away with being completely incompetent, inexplicably failing upwards, and succeeding due to sheer circumstance until they find themselves in positions of authority that they never should have been allowed near. They'll succeed for as long as their luck holds, but eventually, the entire house of cards will come crashing down… This original poster claims that their revenge really isn't that substantial, but considering the fact that they pushed the first few domin…

There are two kinds of people in the world: People who hit snooze when their alarm rings and people who get up right away. Although it may seem trivial, this should probably be the first thing you ask in your future-roommate's interview because the two disciplines of alarm management cannot coexist in the same home. Period.

This girl really let her intrusive thoughts win. And honestly, it was kinda worth it, even if it meant losing a friend in the process. Alright, it's 1999, and we've got this unpopular girl secretly dating one of the cool guys from school. Awww right? Not quite. The moment they step back into school, he pulls a total disappearing act on her. Even when his pals are shamelessly body-shaming her, she's looking to him for some support, and the guy doesn't utter a single word. What a total snob, righ…

In some cultures, waiting your turn in line is sacred. The unspoken rules of waiting in line are generally understood by the populous and thus, the balance and order in society is maintained– until some rabble-rousing rebels come swooping in with their own agenda on their mind, cutting straight to the front like they don't even notice the queue of people who respectfully waited.

If you're going to do some shady work, then you should at the very least do some research on your victims. Like, that's villainy 101. You can't scam a scam artist, ya know? You're already getting chased by karma, you shouldn't give it any reason to catch up. But, oh boy, when karma does catch up is it satisfying! This kind of justice got epically served recently by a guest who almost got scammed by the host of a condo he booked for a long weekend. According to this reddit post , he and his frie…

Public transportation has a whole myriad of unspoken rules. For those of you who are too privileged to ever hop onto a bus, train, or subway, read no further, because the nuances of the transportation methods of the huddled masses will go right over your head.

Having roommates who use your things without permission is always frustrating, especially when there's a complete lack of appreciation, reciprocation, consideration, or at least acknowledgment of the fact that they're doing so. Still, sharing is an important way to build relationships, as mutual trust and reciprocation are key components. So, while people using your things is annoying, being overly zealous about people not touching your things is never going to fly either, and getting overly pe…

All good things come to those who wait, even if what you're waiting for is epic payback on your middle school ex-friend. This kid ("Derek") spammed this Redditor's flip phone back when he had a limited data plan and was unable to block numbers. It was Derek's vengeance after an argument, knowing it would cost OP money. OP initially wanted Derek to pay him back for those $40, which at the time felt like a ton of money to him. His parents told OP to let it go. Unfortunately, the art of letting go…

Most animal lovers would agree that any human who mistreats or abandons a pet doesn't deserve to get another one just because they feel like it, but what would your conscience say if you had the power to stop that villain from adopting more pets? Would you let them go home with the 'kitten of the week'? Or would you stop them in their tracks?
