25+ Gifts that rubbed people the wrong way: 'My mother-in-law bought me a dust broom and she deducted the cost of it'

Some gift-givers are so notoriously bad at it that it creates family legends. It seems like every family has at least one of these people. They're the person who gives toddler gifts to the 7-year-old who wanted Robux, or the person who gives a long, boring book to the person who hasn't cracked open a book in a decade. For whatever reason, this person just cannot give someone a proper gift that they'll actually use, and after a few years of this, family members start to take notice. As you can r…

'My boss kept cutting my hours more and more': Sandwich shop employee discovers he's been training the new hire to replace him, cue malicious compliance

The fear of getting fired is real. There's no two ways about it. Sometimes, you can be doing everything right, but even the slightest comment or lack of acknowledgment can be quickly misinterpreted. At that point, you often don't go through the process of centering yourself. You often go from zero to one hundred and immediately into panic mode. However, in some instances, your paranoia about getting fired could have some substance to it. This sandwich worker noticed his hours were getting cut m…

Neighbor continuously parks in homeowner's driveway despite repeatedly being told not to, gets towed: 'She yelled at me and the tow truck driver, calling me "petty"'

It always behooves you to approach a situation of conflict—even where you're being disrespected with politeness and tact. When that fails, however, it's completely fair to go for the nuclear option, sometimes boundaries need a little enforcement to remind people that they're there. These days, we tread on a paper-thin line of placating people's wild behaviors, and we have tended to forget that the negative results of actions are called "consequences," and some people have been sorely missing th…

Entitled resident throws a lawn party and trashes neighborhood as a result, neighbor collects the garbage for her, only to dump it all at her doorstep: ‘What did you really expect?’

Look, parties are fun, and we have nothing against them, well, at least in theory. They are a great opportunity to see friends, eat some good food, let yourself relax, and live in the moment. Even as introverts, we understand why people enjoy them, but that does not mean we don't hate it when we have to endure a party we didn't sign up for. For example, when a neighbor throws a party right next to you, and you have to sit in your home with all that noise coming from outside, that is one element…

Factory worker follows manager's orders, costing the company thousands of dollars, managers gets fired: ' I was ordered to direct all questions to the "senior" worker'

Sometimes, the only way to prove your manager wrong is easy: you simply have to follow their orders directly. Showing that something doesn't work is always more effective than just saying it won't.

Here , we have a newly hired factory worker whose direct supervisor specifically told him to direct any questions he had to the senior worker, and that's exactly what he did. It just so happened that…

Brother and new sister-in-law get mad when sister gets engaged at the Grand Canyon 3 days after their wedding: '[They] said the timing and location were hurtful and that we shouldn’t planned around the wedding'

For some reason, there's a particularly common and troubling thing that happens at important events and celebrations when guests—often those closest to the celebrants, try to make the day about themselves by announcing their own important thing at that event, taking attention away from the hosts and guests of honor and turning it towards themselves instead. This is dreadfully common, and you can chalk it up to sheer incompetence, egotism, and immersion in the event, resulting in a loss of onese…
