Hats off to this server for making sure this kid's prom night did not go as planned.

Tests exist to gauge understanding of a subject but often have the unfortunate effect of influencing the curriculum itself to achieve the best results for that test—even if that's not the best result for the students. Test designers and administrators are (usually) only humans themselves and are not free from the bias of their own perspectives and beliefs. Intentionally introducing a trick into the test that seeks to catch students out is probably unethical, especially when the test is one that…

This woman was incensed that a teenager would dare to snowboard around her, but she didn't know who she was speaking to. Snow sports can be a great source of entertainment during the winter months. Instead of being cooped up inside, you can head to a ski slope or mountainous area and strap on your skis or snowboard . It's a wonderful way to get some fresh air, exercise, and adrenaline. Naturally, many trails for snowboarding or skiing are public areas — you have to share the space. This Karen a…

One landlord's plan is so strange that this woman turned to the internet to figure out what she should do. As u/ismylandlordweird wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, her landlord has suddenly put her in an incredibly awkward situation. The OP shared that she has been living in the basement of a family's home. She got along well with them at first, writing that she mainly keeps to herself. But then suddenly, the landlord left the country , claiming he had a parent who needed urgent care. At first, he brou…

Some girls are early bloomers. For some, they embrace their femininity and roll with it, while others are doomed and condemned for being a curvy pre-teen. Early bloomers are fast-tracked to learn about life, and competition, pretty early, especially when it comes to older, insecure women.

This family brought their messy drama to a 25 year reunion party , and things quickly got awkward. Family life is different for everyone, and while many people have stellar relationships with their parents and siblings, others have a harder time getting along. In this story, the OP is still quite young, having just turned 18. But as they share in their post to r/AmItheA**hole, their parents don't really care about them. In fact, the OP was kicked out of their house on their 18th birthday ! Appa…

Customs and etiquette change over time, but this mom is pretty sure this party host is being super tacky. There are all types of parties, from simple to extravagant. For smaller events, it can be great to host your family and friends at your home for a backyard BBQ, which is casual and cost effective. Other people love to spend big money on their kids parties by renting entertainers or bouncy houses, or hosting the event at a restaurant or play zone. As a kid, you have a wonderful time regardle…

Traveling exposes you to all sorts of people, whether you want to be in their presence or not. The teen in this story is clearly used to dealing with entitled people, and the way he put this Karen in her place will surely resonate with that woman for a long time to come. “I saw this today and I can't stop laughing,” shared u/WhatTheH*ll431 to r/entitledparents. They wrote that while traveling on their city metro, there was a dispute over who should sit in the reserved seats, meant for disabled…

First love is a tough virus to shake. When teenagers ‘fall in love’ (or think they have), it's tough to separate the raging hormones from real, genuine connection. Although some people find their forever person in their local public school system, most people aren't so lucky and don't really realize that they've hitched their horse to a toxic wagon– until it's too late.

TikTok trends are usually only going viral because some audacious teenager got footage of themselves doing something stupid, obscene, or way out of line. As a parent, trying to teach your kids between right and wrong is difficult enough, but when all your teenager wants is to get likes on their videos and social media validation, the moral high-ground starts to look pretty lame.

Lots of people start working between the ages of 14 to 17, depending on which US state you live in. That's the age when you can finally get your working papers , and join in with your cool friends who have jobs. Then you start a minimum wage shift and it's rough! You start to wonder why you were so eager to start working in the first place. This teen has a common problem with holding a job while you're still in high school : the scheduling is insanity. As she writes, she's had to change her sch…

The nerve of this teen is really impressive! He's sure to be an employee his boss at the smoothie shop never forgets. When you're a teenager , your brain is still growing. You're uninhibited and think you can do anything without consequence. This guy, 19 year old Jake, is a hilarious example of this. He was really putting malicious compliance before his own self preservation! As u/RussianAnnaB wrote in the r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, her boyfriend Jake had a job at a smoothie store , but h…

Growing up with divorced parents sucks. Obviously when mom and dad split up, it was because of some unresolved conflict– or ‘beef’ as they say– that forced their hand on ending their marriage. When you have kiddos thrown into the mix, things can get messy.

Tough love, am I right?

HOA stands for “Horribly Obnoxious Association” and they're the group of prying Karen's and Kevin's that make up the most outrageous rules for the neighborhood, simply to lord themselves over everybody, bolstering their superiority complex. For some suburban neighborhoods, they're the gestapo waiting for inhabitants to make simple mistakes so that they can send them warnings and fines and petty paperwork to file.

Teens don't always think about the consequences of their actions… That's a skill you gain as you get older and wiser! Some people don't necessarily become more mature as they age, however. This guy, for one, still thinks he's so cool for getting really petty levels of revenge against his neighbor, even decades later. As people in the comments pointed out, keeping your neighbors happy is pretty important — otherwise you might find they're retaliating against you ! One commenter warned the OP to…
