People are strange as it is, and when we grow up and get our own homes and have our own kids in what is effectively our own world in which we can set our own rules things can get very strange indeed. Of course, this “strangeness” ranges from delightully weird takes on common household rules to things that are downright mistreatment of the people who are being forced to follow them.

This guy's bosses are both on a power trip . Perhaps there was a feud going on behind the scenes, but the employees would have had no idea about it. Working at as an airport valet could be a stressful job at times. Just imagine how many people pull up to the valet parking, grab their luggage, throw their keys to the valet, and start sprinting to their terminal! Other people probably drive around for ages trying to find the right place to park, and are frustrated by the time they get to the vale…

Imagine how ridiculous one must be as a human to get kicked out of one's own wedding ceremony. To be honest, it's kind of an impressive feat. When it comes to wedding debacles, we're typically used to audacious family members and occasionally difficult brides and grooms, but this story goes far beyond “difficult.” Here, we have a couple that already was getting noise complaints from other guests at the hotel before the wedding day officially began. By the time the festivities started, which wer…

Mothers deserve the whole world. We have a day every year just to celebrate them: they brought us into the world, raised us, and cared for us, even when we were too young (or too much of a teenager) to appreciate them. Lots of families go all out for Mother's Day , getting mom flowers and gifts. And of course, many families choose this special day to take Mom out to eat at her favorite restaurant . While this is all well and good for the mamas of the world, it's a day that causes waiters some i…

Friendly reminder to get your PTO confirmed before getting non-refundable flights! This employee's girlfriend learned that the hard way. People in the comments section were a bit tough on her for putting pressure on her boyfriend to make his boss refund every penny of their planned vacation after the boss denied the employee's PTO request. Still, we have reserved at least some sympathy for her. It's not like this employee wasn't entitled to that time, and while he wants to advance his career, h…

You are accountable for your child. Stated simply, you will be liable for the cost of replacing any products that your child breaks while you are shopping. Given this perspective, what would you do, therefore, if two well-to-do parents allowed their child to run wild and then declined to pay for the hundreds of dollars in damages? The story below is an account of a frustrated pet store employee. The original poster (OP) worked at the pet store for an extended period of time. Everything went wel…

Another day, another family drama. One person, who we'll call OP, shared an entertaining story about their upstairs neighbors who got even with a family member of theirs who took it one step too far. OP lived in an apartment complex with two-story buildings and shared outdoor stairwells. Their upstairs neighbors were seemingly calm, chill people to whom they said hello once in a while. One day, OP's peaceful reading session was shattered by a commotion - shouts, running, pure family hysteria. E…

This DIYer got schooled by a teenager on how to treat employees. That's because this dude really thought that employee worked for the store he was at. Even though the kid literally told this guy, a random stranger, that he wasn't an employee, this guy just wouldn't take not for an answer. And in that case, as u/wing_nut_101 puts it, “be careful what you wish for.”

Money makes the world go ‘round, and what goes around comes around… Or so they say at least. Come to think of it, there's a whole lot of going around happening when comes to these types of things. Makes you wonder whether or not a lot of crime syndicates shouldn't be adopting less evil—skulls and bones and all that funky jazz—as their logo. Instead, why don't they just have a ferris wheel or a merry go round or, you know, something that actually goes around. So when someone scams you out of som…

It comes to no one's surprise that schools care much more about the sports programs than the arts. For some reason, it is assumed that the arts are not as important for kids' education as doing sports, and so the art programs get much less budget and attention in an unfortunate amount of schools. The situation is no different in the school from this Reddit story, and the main problem might be with the school's principal. OP (original poster) is a mom who got a call from a school principal askin…

It's always important to stand your ground when your employer has not honored their end of your contract. It can be easy in work dynamics to forget the fact that your contract is a two-way negotiation and you have rights no matter who is in charge. This former worker had the “audacity” to ask for her final paycheck two months after her toxic, disorganized boss fired her. After a period of radio silence, this Redditor finally decided to go off email and send a direct text message to her ex-boss…

No matter how much we complain about clocking in every day at the office or on the job site, we need that paycheck every two weeks–otherwise, what're we doing here? Although we may feel like we're on top of the world one minute, we could lose our job in a second...

Some people think and act like the world revolves around them, and something must be done to get them off the pedestal they have put themselves on. Just because you act like you are better than everyone else, does not mean you actually are. The Karen in this Reddit story has a main character syndrome that should seriously be addressed, because how she acted in a hair salon was simply unacceptable. OP (original poster) was getting her hair done when a woman walked into the salon, 4 hours late to…

Being faced with the brutal decision of whether or not you'll take a demotion or be fired is not easy and it's an even harder choice to make. It would be easy to just want to up and walk away rather than face the humiliation demotion. But, unless you're in a secure financial position and have a lot of connections in your industry, you'll probably want to consider taking the demotion while you quietly go about looking for another job. After all, there's no better time to look for a job than when…

This office's "cookie wizard" is having their week ruined by a coworker.
