People come in different varieties, and each one is distinct. Some people are compassionate, and some are greedy, but the worst people are without a doubt those who have an entitlement complex. The story below is an account of a bewildered man. For many years, the original poster (OP) had been renting a home for ten to fourteen days in August in Ontario, Canada, along a river. The lease includes private decking with a hot tub, a furnished gazebo, and exclusive usage of a cottage. These quick tr…

"There is a no ‘claim’ policy."

The entitlement of some people continues to bewilder innocent onlookers who are just trying to go about their daily lives. We have distinguished two traits that characterize entitled persons. They are, first and foremost, fierce and tremendously confident in their own righteousness. The story below is an account of a frustrated hotel guest. The original poster (OP) had just returned from a luxurious vacation. One of the hotel amenities available to OP is the buffet. One evening as he looked ove…

Setting prices as high as you like and hoping that someone will be naive enough to purchase what you are offering is what's so fantastic about the free-market system. However, you might also set an absurdly low price in order to get rid of the item and absolve yourself of any liability in the unlikely event that something goes wrong after the transaction. The parent who purchased a children's suitcase from an online retailer is described in the story below. ahead of an anticipated family holida…

Saving up the necessary funds for a foreign trip takes years. Thus, you anticipate that the day will be perfect when it finally arrives after many hours of nonstop work and meticulous preparation!

No vacation ends up going according to plan. Sometimes, what tarnishes the experience of a trip is completely out of your hands. Recently on a trip to London, my partner and I discovered while about to board our return flights that our flight was overbooked and our assigned seats were merely taken as a request. We ended up not getting seats on that flight and found ourselves temporarily stranded abroad at the end of what would have been the first trip of mine to go according to plan. We should…

Your family should always come first. Conversely, setting boundaries and declining help when necessary is perfectly reasonable. The story below is an account of a confused sister. Every year, the original poster (OP) and her family take trips together. OP, however, informed her family that neither she nor her spouse would be able to attend because of her current unemployment. Things were going well at first, but when her brother insisted that she take care of his five dogs the entire journey, t…

It's the time of year where summer has outstayed its welcome. In the beginning of the summer , we welcomed the warmth and stuffed our winter jackets in the closets to switch to shorts and tee shirts. Maybe you took a trip or two to the local beach or took a summer road trip with the kids. But now, in the middle of the hottest months, we're all sweaty and cranky and we'd like less heat, please. Getting dunked in the pool sounds perfect right now, followed by drinking a huge glass of ice water. T…

When traveling, whether it's for business purposes between states or a long-distance trip to the chilly alpine slopes of Switzerland, it's necessary to adhere to airline etiquette.

You've more than earned that paid time off!

To savor the fleeting periods of freedom between, you hustle throughout the year. It's a vacation here, a vacation there that helps us get through the trials of life. What would you do, then, if your manager abruptly declared that you were no longer qualified for vacation time after you had scheduled time off? The story below is an account of frustrated employee. The original poster (OP) has been thinking about her family vacation for the last six months. But as the departure date drew nearer,…

Taking time off work is probably just as important as the work itself. Being able to step away, take a break, and come back with a new perspective will likely benefit your work—besides, you've earned it. Although, of course, what you'll often find happens is that the freedom and relaxation your vacation offers you makes returning to work even more difficult than it already is on a normal Monday. Being denied the chance to take leave can mean missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, fami…

Planning a vacation? Don't make the same mistakes that these folks did. The fascinating thing about the beach is that it attracts the full spectrum of individuals: from the people who need a break to the people who need less of one, from the wise travelers to the foolish ones, and from the calm and collected types to the anxious souls who dream of rest and relaxation but cannot help themselves. Personally speaking, I fall into the lattermost category. I'm not the type of person who can easily r…

It's not easy dealing with a Monster-in-law. Just ask Jennifer Lopez! Dealing with particular in-laws means always having to walk a fine line between pleasing them and standing up for yourself. This becomes all too real on family gatherings and vacations. Suddenly, you're forced to be with them all the time and to cater to their needs, wishes, and fluctuating moods. This Redditor has been preparing for an upcoming trip after learning that their mother-in-law was made aware of private informatio…

One cranky couple was too busy snapping at employees instead of soaking up the Florida sun . In the end, they got a little too much sun… but it was their own fault. After that, read about the moviegoers who couldn't help but shout at the screen, like one person who yelled, “Mortal Kombat!” at top volume at the start of that movie.

Workplaces love to advertise their great benefits, especially if they offer generous vacation allowances.
