When a big snowstorm hit the Midwest, a group of teenage boys were ready to tackle the snowfall with their shovels. It's an easy way to make a few bucks for a teenager willing to put in the effort! As these four kids realized, all they needed were shovels. They probably expected that they'd rake in the cash… but they kind of just did things wrong, as u/beaversm26 explained in her story below. She was curious if she was in the wrong for the way she interacted with these teen boys . Maybe they've…

This snow shoveler knows they were being petty towards their neighbor , and they do not care one bit. In some parts of the world, snow days are still quite common. Some storms can dump buckets of the white stuff, leaving people to dig out their cars while their kids build snow forts. Shoveling a driveway or digging your car out can take ages. You have to scrape the snow from the windshield, dig out the tires, scrape the ice from the door handles, and after all that's done, you still need to dig…

This snowboarder isn't going to let anything stop her from enjoying her time on the snowy hills! But one of her neighbors was determined to stop this kid from having a fun time in the snow, as u/Secret_Life_Shh told in her excellent story of petty revenge. Next, these employees got fired for some hilarious reasons , like one guy who “told me he couldn't really move fast (line cook) because his motorcycle boots were too heavy to walk in.”

Some people fail to understand that their behavior towards others affects how others eventually behave towards them. In other words, they don't understand that what goes around comes around – You can't expect people to be nice to you, or to help you out, when you refuse to do the same for them. This rule is a key element when it comes to a neighborly relationship. Neighbors often seek each other's help, but if one refuses to help others, there is no reason for others to help them in return, whi…

This boss has an odd incentive structure, and it is not at all favorable towards his hard-working employees. When you go to an interview at a movie theater, I imagine they ask you about your customer service qualifications or your background working in retail. They probably don't ask how much snow you can shovel… these employees had to find out the hard way that it was part of their workplace requirements. U/SparkleFritz had a boss who insisted that when it snowed, the employees should be the o…

Fences have a singular specific primary purpose: To keep people, and things, out of places they shouldn't be. If you see a fence—or are otherwise told about its presence when you enquire with the property owner about crossing it—chances are that you shouldn't go ahead and cross that fence anyway or do something to sabotage it and gain entry. At the very least, such actions would probably have consequences. Of course, some of those still reading might argue that fences are also used to keep thin…

As a working adult, there is one lesson about work you usually learn the hard way, which is to never let anyone push you into doing work that is not part of your job description. If you agree to even a small job that is something you are not getting paid to do, you will probably end up doing a lot more, without being rewarded for it. This is why the OP in this Reddit story was probably not in a rush to do what a customer asked for. That and the fact that the customer was incredibly entitled and…

While all customer service is tough due to the challenging task of dealing with the unpredictable members of the public, delivery drivers have it particularly rough, owing to the fact that they have to consistently interact with these same people whose absurd entitlement is amplified by the proximity of their homes. If you thought that Karen was a doozy to deal with at the customer service desk at Home Depot, just wait until you see how she treats the poor bloke who has to deliver something rig…

The twenty-first century is known for its constant stream of technological advancement. The fact that we can now fit everything we need into one technological device—our phones—is one of the biggest shifts in our daily lives. The story below is an account of an individual who got his car towed for no apparent reason. It is a freezing winter's day when the story begins. OP saw that snow had been piling up all night when he woke up bright and early. After giving it some thought, he decided that t…

These two neighbors have a feud that is escalating by the day. So it goes with neighborhood drama : little things can quickly escalate into issues that aren't easy to resolve. Just like with any relationship, there has to be some give and take. If you water plants for your neighbor, they might powerwash your sidewalk while they're washing theirs. Or maybe your neighbor bakes you a great casserole, so you return their dish with some fresh brownies for them to snack on. Life can be so sweet, but…

This new boss was surprised that some older employees knew better than he did. That was hardly a surprising outcome to the employees, but new managers often feel like they have to make a good impression by bossing everyone around. After all, if they're hired to lead, they think that the most visible way to demonstrate that is to make changes to their workplace immediately. In reality, if they just spent a few minutes talking to their most dedicated employees, they'd probably find out which chan…

Adults don't get to have snow days nearly as often as they should. Kids used to have snow days all the time in decades past. There was nothing better than the feeling of waking up for school to a blanket of snow coating every surface. In the past, you'd have to turn on the TV and watch the scrolling ticker on the bottom of the screen to find your school's announcement (but these days, there's an app for that). When you got to see the name of your school with the word “closed” next to it, it was…

Snow shoveling is hard work, but these neighbors don't care. If they can be cozy in their home while this OP does all the heavy lifting, that's perfectly fine with them. Out of all the outdoor chores, shoveling snow is a lot of people's least favorite task. At least when you rake leaves, they're pretty light! Snow is heavy and bulky, so you get sweaty and tired out instantly. The dude in this petty revenge tale didn't shovel for just an hour or two. No, instead, they had to clear out their driv…

Things can get a little heated with the upstairs neighbor...

These coworkers just couldn't get along with their store's greeter. You'd think that as a greeter, you'd have to have a sparkling personality, or at least be pretty easy-going. Greeters are placed at the front of big chain retail stores to say hello to each shopper who enters. They can point shoppers toward the right sections of the store, and many of them check receipts as customers are exiting the store. A lot of times, these positions are given to older workers. That way they can sit down an…

These bosses decided to let their employees work harder, not smarter. Too bad their customers paid the price for their negligence! It's a snowy day, and you're driving to work. You, as a good citizen, took the time to grab your snow brush/scraper and spent like 20 minutes clearing all the snow off the roof of your car. Then, as you're on your way to the office, the car in front of you has a foot of snow on its roof. You have to swerve to avoid them as little chunks of snow fly off behind them!…
