Man accuses friends of micromanaging the expenses on their vacation, they claim they shouldn't pay for what he overly spends, he refuses to go on future trips as a result: ‘I can't do this’

Going out with a large group of friends is great fun until the bill comes along and you all have to decide how to pay in a way that will please everyone. There is always one person who can't be bothered with doing the math and just wants to split the bill evenly between everyone, and another who didn't even eat anything and thinks it's unfair that they have to pay the same amount as everyone else. That is why I recommend electing a designated calculating friend who is fine with doing all the ma…

'She didn't want to go on the trip until she learned it was to Europe': Father schedules family vacation for everyone except his son and daughter-in-law, sparks family feud by changing travel location

These family members are upset after rejecting a vacation, only to learn it was going to be way better than they expected. The job of planning a vacation goes to u/Ok_Clue_6722, as they explained to r/AmItheA******. Yet somehow, he's the one who planned an entire trip, only to leave out two family members in a less-than-subtle jab at them.

‘I have never heard of this policy’: Boss freezes employee's pay after he returns from vacation but 'fails to report back to work', leading to a dispute when he is not paid for weeks

‘I have never heard of this policy’: Boss freezes employee's pay after he returns from vacation but 'fails to report back to work', leading to a dispute when he is not paid for weeks

Apparently, some workplaces are so out of touch with their employees that they sometimes fail to notice when employees leave for a vacation and never return to work. How do these workplaces deal with this situation, you ask? They ‘freeze’ every employee's pay once they go on vacation, until said employee returns and declares to HR they are back to work. This means that if you came back to work after a vacation, and weren't aware that you had to call HR and tell them personally that you were bac…

Entitled neighbor demands exclusive use of man’s gazebo and orders him off his own property, sparking a dramatic neighborhood feud

Entitled neighbor demands exclusive use of man’s gazebo and orders him off his own property, sparking a dramatic neighborhood feud

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…

Manager refuses to approve employee's time off despite them providing a replacement, employee informs manager he has a choice: ‘Accept either my vacation or my resignation’

Manager refuses to approve employee's time off despite them providing a replacement, employee informs manager he has a choice: ‘Accept either my vacation or my resignation’

There are so many rules protecting the employer from employees doing whatever they want, but it is time to protest that there are not enough rules protecting employees from their employers. If an employee informs their employer of their time off, two months before it is due, there should absolutely be a rule prohibiting the employer from saying no. Employees should be allowed to use their time off whenever they want to, and if they bring it up a sufficient time in advance, employers should have…

'It would never cross my mind to behave like this...': Entitled hotel guests devour every last bite of the buffet spread, leaving other guests hungry and furious

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…

'In the first week alone, the local facility lost 3 jobs': Longtime electrical engineer loses vacation privileges, HR absentmindedly agrees to his drastic new schedule changes

Serious workers don't play about their vacation time . It's not like most of us just love working ourselves to the bone. To be fair, a lot of people love their jobs, and many will stay at the same company for decades. It's great to get into a rhythm of working until you start to feel those signs of burnout, and then having the luxury of taking a week or two off . Those two weeks can make a huge difference: spending time with family and friends, traveling, or even just relaxing and sleeping in c…

Guy tests unlimited PTO policy by disappearing until he gets fired: 'Let's see how unlimited it really is'

We all know that unlimited PTO is, to put it mildly, not what it sounds like. Unlimited PTO might be better than having a set number of minimal vacation time, but it's like when you order an item online and expect something grandiose, only to receive something nice but still not exactly what was advertised. Sure, it's still better than what you had before, but it's not as good as it looked online. Here, we have an employee whose unlimited PTO request was denied by their boss, who had decided th…

'Oh okay. Good luck with that, bud': Waiter calls out "we have somewhere to be in an hour" diners

Oh, you have to be at the airport in 90 minutes, but you have time for a sit-down meal at a restaurant? Tell me more. Tell me why you think that's a good choice. International flights can cause long lines to get through security---these notoriously take ages to get through. Oh, you're only 25 minutes from the airport? I'm sure there will be no traffic, red lights, or slow drivers to stop you from getting on your flight. Truly, if you decide to have a sit-down meal outside the airport when you h…

Make sure to read those online reviews before you book a hotel . It might save you some time and money! Or, like these people below, it might spare you the myriad issues that can occur in a hotel, from bedbugs to awful breakfast menus. I feel for the staffers at the “pool room” hotel (see #2). As you can see in the photo, there's a pool table on top of what looks like a covered-up swimming pool. The staffers must constantly have angry guests yelling about the pool room not having a pool.

Resident gets back at vacationing neighbor after damaging his car: 'I graciously helped myself to half a freezer's worth of meat'

Resident gets back at vacationing neighbor after damaging his car: 'I graciously helped myself to half a freezer's worth of meat'

What a silly idea for this dude to damage his neighbor's car and then have the audacity to ask for favors! That's right. After refusing to take the blame for clearly causing damage to this Redditor's car, the dude next door went on an extended outdoorsy vacation and asked for the Redditor to watch his home because he was the only person to be trusted. Well, as it turns out, that was a major lapse in judgment. While the neighbor was gone, there was a huge storm and the neighbor was impossible to…

Man sells suitcase with precious belongings on Marketplace, then demands buyer pay extra for forgotten items

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…
