Talk about a birthday party gone wrong!

There are two types of people: those who check the menu before they get to the restaurant, and those who show up having no idea what they're going to order. Either way is fine — some people prefer to know exactly what dish they're going to get, while others like to hear the daily specials and decide on the spot. But people also show up to restaurants with lots of questions about their food …and some questions are way funnier than others. We took a peek into the life of a waiter or waitress with…

If this isn't a sign to start looking for work elsewhere, I don't know what is.

Working in the hospitality industry is painfully awkward at times, and oftentimes leaves you with a bitter aftertaste, pining for a vacation that would preferably last over a year. Karens are commonplace, and make your job much harder than it needs to be. In this case, a Karen approached OP when they were working Night Audit at a busy hotel, demanding to be checked in immediately, rolling her eyes at OP in the process. OP knew right away that something was off, and asked for Karen's full name a…

Getting fired sucks; having your means of income suddenly dissipate leaves you in a pretty vulnerable situation, forcing you to dig into your savings in order to keep yourself afloat—which, considering how hard it is to save at the moment… probably doesn't leave you with a lot. Luckily, there's unemployment (if you uniquely qualify), which can help bridge the gap and keep you off the streets while you find new work, which your previous employer must pay a part of—unless they can devise a way to…

What do you miss most from the days before the internet's glowing screens took up all our time? It turns out that lots of people have things they're nostalgic for! As numerous Twitter users shared , starting with @ThatEricAlper's prompt tweet, people miss everything from getting catalogues in the mail to being harder to get in contact with. I still recall the days of having to travel to a library if I wanted to use a computer. We just didn't have a computer at our house at the time, and cell ph…

If you have ever been a kid in love with something then you know how it feels like the end of the world when someone yells at you about it. Like, you're just trying to live your life and nerd out a bit, what's so wrong about that? So when a parent yells at a kid for just trying to let their harmless nerdy self fly, well, it's going to feel a lot worse than just being told no. There is a different between a parent trying to teach a meaningful life lesson to their kid and a parent just being plai…

Usually, when you leave a job, it's with the expectation that you'll never have to deal with anything to do with that job again. After years of fretting and toiling over your tasks, it's a type of freedom—even if things ended poorly or you got fired, you at least have the peace of mind that you're not going to have to worry about that place or its people any longer. Sure, you might catch up with your favorite coworkers from time to time and see how they're doing, you might even end up working w…

If the mooching friend is there more than someone who is actually on the lease, it's definitely a problem.

What would you do to get your preferred parking space? Some might say that towing seven cars is a little extreme—whether or not those cars are technically supposed to be parked there. This is especially the case when you're just a guest staying at a hotel and in no way have a stake in said hotel. This Karen took issue with the fact that there were a bunch of non-electric cars parked in the electric car parking spaces, but parking at the location was extremely limited, so it was essential that a…

Let's take it back to your first real relationship.

It may be a happy accident that this person watched “ Dungeons and Dragons ” completely wrong. Movie lovers will adore this post of a person who watched a movie incorrectly and was completely enamored with it. When u/Rodlylane watched the flick, they had a tough time navigating the settings. They just wanted to watch with subtitles, but they got a little more than they bargained for. Nevertheless, this OP adored the movie , and began researching it after the credits rolled. That ended up being…

It must have taken a ton of willpower for this guy to maintain his composure.

She wakes up at 5am every day, but she has no regrets—she gets rewarded everyday at her job with the beautiful breathtaking ocean views.

No good deed goes unpunished—as the Original Poster of this story has noted. At times it feels that any attempts to bring a little goodwill into the world will be taken advantage of. When this woman invited her neighbor to partake in the fruits of her herb garden, she wasn't expecting them to harvest the entire dang thing. The woman had been using this same arrangement with another neighbor with great success. The other neighbor frequently repaid her with “beautiful” roses from his own garden w…

One landlord's plan is so strange that this woman turned to the internet to figure out what she should do. As u/ismylandlordweird wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, her landlord has suddenly put her in an incredibly awkward situation. The OP shared that she has been living in the basement of a family's home. She got along well with them at first, writing that she mainly keeps to herself. But then suddenly, the landlord left the country , claiming he had a parent who needed urgent care. At first, he brou…
