'Sorry man, can't let you in': Movie theater employee gets to stop annoying teens from buying tickets

'Sorry man, can't let you in': Movie theater employee gets to stop annoying teens from buying tickets

Movie theater etiquette can be quite divisive. A lot of movie-goers appreciate a quiet theater. But then, the general public enters. Some people clearly do not want to be at the movie at all, and they show this by being on their phones for the entire run time. Some people bring their kids, who insist on using their iPads or running up and down the aisles. And then sometimes groups of teens come into the movie, and since they're just kids, they don't really care about the movie experience of the…

'I quit. The look on his face was pure horror': 17-year-old leaves a huge mess at work for the chef that's antagonizing them

This person wasn't intending to quit their job … until their insane boss pushed them into it. Working back-of-house at a restaurant is a job for the toughest among us. Chefs cook meals in intense heat, under tight time constraints, and there's a lot of shouting that goes on in these tight quarters. If you've watched a show like “The Bear,” or worked in a kitchen yourself, you know exactly how the power dynamics work. Chefs are the bosses, and everyone else is expected to listen to them. It migh…

18-year-old files report against parents for opening multiple credit cards in his name: 'It turns out I owe over $15,000'

These parents took family dysfunction to a whole new level. Not only did they open multiple credit cards in their 18-year-old son's name without telling him, but also the mother tried to brush it off by saying her mom did the same thing to her, as if this were some rite of passage when you become an adult. The Redditor discovered that he owed over $15,000 and, of course, his credit score completely plummeted. When he confronted his parents about the whole scheme, they had the audacity to give h…

Stepdad hides 17-year-old stepdaughter's passport to exclude her from family trip, wife discovers truth and loses it: 'I screamed my head off at him then canceled the whole trip'

Being a stepdad may not be the easiest job, but it should never get so rough that one feels the need to sabotage an upcoming family vacation.

17-year-old teen daughter gets back at her mother for shaming her choice of prom dress: 'I cried for a while but then came up with a plan'

Our parents are never going to totally agree with the way we choose to live our lives, there's just too much of a difference between the times we were raised in comparison to their own life experiences. Things change, as un undeniable nad undisputable fact, time marches on, and even of the most open minded of us can find ourselves behind the “now” of the world. Of course, for those without an open mind, this is harder still. They're not particularly fond of any change to begin with, so change t…

16-year-old maliciously complies with stepmom's rule after getting his driver's license: 'I can't drive ANYWHERE without permission? OK!'

In this case, we have a ridiculous stepmother who decided to chastise the Redditor for driving to his friend's place briefly to show off his brand new driver's license.

'Entitled grandpa... refuses to pay': Teen gets enlisted into doing unpaid chores by pushy neighbor

One man's trash is another man's treasure--- just ask this neighbor. Or any neighbor, for that matter. Almost all of us have had the experience of walking by our neighbor's house and spotting a box marked “free.” These boxes can be filled with any number of “treasures,” ranging from old DVDs to books to clothing or shoes. Some of it is certainly still destined for the trash, but to find a great book or a barely-used bag is a cool way to recycle. Up next,

'You better have all 30 bags on my car before I get back': Teenager mistaken for hardware store employee gets back at impatient DIYer

This DIYer got schooled by a teenager on how to treat employees. That's because this dude really thought that employee worked for the store he was at. Even though the kid literally told this guy, a random stranger, that he wasn't an employee, this guy just wouldn't take not for an answer. And in that case, as u/wing_nut_101 puts it, “be careful what you wish for.”

‘No, it's mine': Teenager wins $1000 in town raffle, father and new wife demand she give it all to them

As a teenager, winning prizes in a raffle is super cool. You get to buy all those things your parents won't give you or the clothes and jewelry they can't afford. But what if your parents need the money more than you do? What then? Well, I guess it really depends on the situation. And this particular situation feels really unfair considering adults need to own up to their actions and face the consequences. One teenager won $1000 in a town raffle, which she was really excited about. Her biologic…

‘Get off your high horse’: Condescending teen claims to be better than the hardworking door-to-door salespeople, employee teaches young teen a lesson in humility

While not all occupations are ideal, they enable you to pay your bills and make ends meet, therefore we should never criticize someone based solely on their line of work. Most likely, every diligent person strives to support both themselves and their family. So, how would you respond if a young, entitled employee willingly showed up for work and declared that the job was not worth his time and effort? The story that follows is the tale of a grumpy yet diligent worker. An arrogant adolescent who…
