Standing up to your landlord is not an easy task. Most of us give in because we have no other option. However, every so often in a landlord-tenant dispute, the tenant comes out on top, and it's usually because of two reasons. The first is that the tenant was admirably relentless in their pursuit of at least some semblance of justice. The second is that the landlord was clumsy and incompetent. This tenant was kicked out of their apartment wrongfully because the landlord's wife wanted to use that…

When people find themselves in an unfortunate position in which they have to deal with an entitled person while being stuck in the air with them, it is always intriguing to see what they do to manage the situation. On the one hand, some people make it impossible to talk to them, because they think they are always in the right and refuse to listen to other people. But on the other hand, you are going to be stuck on a plane with these people for probably hours, and if they are unhappy, they can m…

Appearance is important when it comes to your working life—well, really any time you're relying heavily on first impressions and social perception. It's an unfortunate fact that remains one all the same: The book is often judged by its cover. This extends past basic aesthetics of dress and into body language and the way we communicate, giving others a wholly inaccurate impression of our trustworthiness and competency for a role or task. To make matters worse, everyone has their own understandin…

Never underestimate a customer's ability to be ridiculous. They'll always surprise you with new ways to misunderstand simple things. U/N1k1B1k1e understands that all too well after a Saturday night run-in with a baffling customer . The person sharing this story writes that they worked at an underground go-kart arena. Some people in the comments section seemed confused by this phrasing. But it's exactly what it sounds like: you head to an underground race track where go-karts zip around at top s…

It's not easy dealing with a Monster-in-law. Just ask Jennifer Lopez! Dealing with particular in-laws means always having to walk a fine line between pleasing them and standing up for yourself. This becomes all too real on family gatherings and vacations. Suddenly, you're forced to be with them all the time and to cater to their needs, wishes, and fluctuating moods. This Redditor has been preparing for an upcoming trip after learning that their mother-in-law was made aware of private informatio…

When this guy got called into the head boss's office , he had a feeling it wasn't a good sign. Getting a message from HR or the higher-ups you never really speak to can send a shiver down an employee's spine. Having to have one of these important talks can mean getting put on a PIP plan if the boss is unhappy with their work. Sometimes, HR will have to call an important meeting if the employee has been bothering other employees. There are a lot of reasons these spontaneous meetings might happen…

If there's one person you don't want to mess with, it's someone who is great at technology. Of course, most hackers do not know how competent their targets are, which is why this kid got his much-deserved comeuppance after his failed attempt at taking over this other guy's video game account. This story is also a reminder to keep your technologically talented friends in your corner, as this guy did. He and his friend were big RuneScape people in the early 2000s, so much so that their successful…

Job interviews are such a grueling process, that it's hard not to get discouraged. Companies expect a lot from candidates nowadays and will put you through 8 interviews with different hiring managers and department heads, then give you multiple tests to evaluate your skills, and finally, reject you via an email or worse, fail to let you know about the next steps. In other words, it's exhausting, infuriating, and it doesn't give you much incentive to keep job searching, even though most of the t…

“We laughed about it but it really was the craziest encounter with entitled people…”

Boring workplace? Time to liven it up with a few pranks! That's what these people did, and they shared the resulting hilarity with r/AskReddit. If you've ever gotten to prank your coworkers , you know how funny it can be. If you're on the receiving end of a stapler encased in jello, you might be a little miffed. But everyone around you will remember your surprised face, and they'll get a great laugh out of it too. It's an entertaining way to build camaraderie. And for a lot of the people below,…

Mistakes and bad decisions happen, it's just a part of the decision making process. As Thomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb, famously said, “'I have not failed, but found 1000 ways to not make a light bulb." The quote and attribution varies, but it's usually something along those lines. And that remains true, you don't know and can't learn until you pick a direction and try, but where this becomes an issue is when people and organizations obstinately refuse to course correct, refusing t…

There is an extremely thin line between being a valued employee with a balanced workload and being an overworked employee who has way too much depended on them. Many employees, in an understandable attempt to be an asset to their company, cross that line and create an unhealthy relationship with their work when they suddenly realize they have taken on too much. Much like the employee in this Reddit story, who had been stuck in a company for 3 years, overflowing with workload by their boss, and…

Ah, nepo babies! They never fail to lean into their entitlement when it suits them. Here, we have a college-aged dude whose father essentially founded a company to give his son experience. This Redditor , one of the only full-time employees at said company, had been collaborating closely with their employer on an eLearning course, which was a time-consuming hands-on project for the both of them. However, when it came time for the boss's son to apply for summer jobs, he called the Original Poste…

Living in an area prone to storms surely teaches you a lot of life hacks and survival skills that other people don't know. If you don't want to lose half of your possessions and unreal amounts of money, you need to educate yourself and learn how to keep everything safe even when something like a hurricane or a thunderstorm hits your area. Some people, simply would not listen to advice about these matters, and when the consequences happen, they also refuse to admit they were wrong, but no one fe…

During our time on this earth it's pretty safe to say that, even through sheer force of chance alone, we've each witnessed some darn ridiculous things. In the same way that an infinite number of monkeys hitting keys at random could reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare, meeting an infinite number of individuals in your life means that you'll inevitably witness something incredibly stupid. While these individuals might not be breaking any records or winning any awards (save but one) for thei…

Forgetful parents are one thing, but when they fail to tell you they're going on vacation, that's a whole other can of worms. I remember my parents once forgot to tell me that they were visiting my state. When I found out (via pictures on Facebook, mind you) I was absolutely livid. I could have taken time off to spend with them but instead, I was stuck on a big project and couldn't drop everything at the last second. Plus, I didn't even really want to see them at that point. How could they forg…
