‘Please don't tow my parents car': College tenants parents arrive to celebrate their graduation, landlord demands $200 for 1 hour parking

‘Please don't tow my parents car': College tenants parents arrive to celebrate their graduation, landlord demands $200 for 1 hour parking

I can still remember that one landlord who was so stingy that it was almost remarkable he owned any land at all. The roof had been leaking for months, and one night it began cascading down the wall like a small waterfall. I called my perpetually absent landlord up but he never answered. Voicemail… great. He never did fix that roof and I ended up moving, but I can understand what having a cheap landlord is like. A couple of college students were living together throughout their semester, and the…

Terrible new IT supervisor is setup by their team when upper management comes to visit : 'The [supervisor] was put on 90-days' unpaid suspension, and was written up for gross insubordination'

Oftentimes, a little push is the only thing it takes to topple the facade of power presented by someone abusing it. They want you to think there's nothing you can do to circumvent their authority, but they forget that they're just managing an IT department at a medical center, and their authority really isn't all that far-reaching at all. So that one little push (or notifying their boss) is all it takes to reveal the man behind the curtain. This IT worker was responsible for issuing equipment t…

Bridezilla insists bridesmaid make numerous changes to her appearance so she wouldn't 'ruin her photos': 'Texts and group chats... [were] telling me I was being stubborn'

What's the most drastic thing you'd change to appease your bride-to-be friend ? Would you dye or cut your hair? How about covering up your favorite tattoos? Hopefully, your friends wouldn't ask you to change any of these things about yourself, since it's a bit impolite. It implies that the way you dress or act isn't appropriate for a wedding, as u/sinkydoodles found out when their friend tried to do just that. Why bridezillas always think that people will steal their thunder is a mystery to me.…

Unfortunately, this Redditor's grandmother dealt with a ton of generational family issues and estranged relationships, but even with this drama, she took care of her troubled family members through it all. One of these family members, whom the Original Poster refers to as J, ran away from home yet kept asking granny for money eve…

'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,

'Privacy isn't necessary': Top Mildly Infuriating Parenting Moments of the Week (May 16, 2024)

There is a specific dynamic that emerges when you spend time at your parents' place as an adult. You start to notice all the crazy house rules, patterns, and habits that make absolutely zero sense. However, no matter how many times you try to explain a more efficient way of doing something, there is nothing you can do to change their minds. Living with my parents during that time back in 2020 resulted in a clash of personalities that thankfully did not lead to complete and total combustion. Sti…

“When I suggested selling it, he cut me off and said that he wasn’t getting a van... It was so combative and defensive the way he said it, and because I was so tired from the day, I lashed out. We argued, it got heated, and I ended up yelling, ‘Your fragile masculinity is costing our family so much money'."

'[He] showed up 4 hours late because he "overslept"': 25+ Workers reveal the reasons everyone at their workplace dislikes 'that one colleague'

Every workplace has at least one person who is somehow employed there, leaving everyone else baffled as to how that could’ve happened. You’ll know exactly how this feels if you’ve ever had to work with someone who doesn’t take care of their hygiene. When a coworker comes to the office and reeks, it’s hard not to take notice. Maybe it’s that one coworker who keeps biking to work on the hottest days of the year, showing up drenched in sweat. Other people seem like they just never brush their teet…

Normally, you might expect that being the best at something means that you'll be effectively the first selected, akin to it being a race, and by being simply being undisputed best, you would, of course, be the one to win. Well, that's not how races or any competitions work, and it's the reason they're held in the first place, and the prize isn't just awarded to the person who currently holds whatever record is most relevant… There are so many other factors and things that can happen on the day…

It doesn't matter if you work in a high-powered corporate environment or a three-person company; there will always be that coworker who thinks they're in charge of you. Perhaps they were just hired before your time. Perhaps they're older. Perhaps they ate slightly senior within the company hierarchy. Still, if they're not your manager, they have absolutely no business ordering you around. We are going to call this personality Perpetua after Bridget Jones's coworker who is very much guilty of th…

Employee discovers the new hire is making more than them: 'With zero experience in this position'

While it might be tempting to wait out an impending layoff or quit rather than stomach unfair treatment or the foul nature of your egotistical boss… Without a doubt, the best time to find a new job is when you're still employed. You'll be undoubtably less stressed due to more financial stability allowing you to be more selective and find the right role. During interviews this feeling of security allows you to come across more confidently, which apart from making you more likely to get another r…
