For those of us foolishly clinging to the past, we've got you covered.

Not everyone believes in that old saying, “It's the thought that counts.” U/Salt_Mood_7908 wrote to the r/etiquette sub with a burning question on her mind. She's suddenly found herself in an awkward situation with her SIL. This SIL asked for only “vanilla cards” as presents. While this is a term I've never heard before, it apparently refers to prepaid debit cards . And this SIL wants only those, so that she won't be “loaded down with stuff she won't use.” Now, if you want to have a preference…

There’s always an easy way and a hard way, and this guy’s ex-wife and former in-laws decided to go with the latter. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that it was time for the Redditor to commit some well-deserved petty revenge. He shared his story via this thread on Reddit’s r/pettyrevenge subreddit. Essentially, after getting forced out of their shared apartment, this dude was trying to handle divorce proceedings with some semblance of reasons in a group text with his now ex-wife and…

Wow. Bravo! This was just *chef's kiss*! Sure, it sounds like this Karen lady is crying at the end, but like, who does what she did? Why would you call and complain because you were late and a car in front of you was going a little slow. Like, lady… Come on. The only time you call those “How's My Driving?” bumper stickers is if the driver was actually putting someone in danger. Like, they were visibly intoxicated or like driving the wrong way down the highway. Not if they made you late to you s…

Having an employer who thinks they own you is nothing new, but now they want your children too. What with certain unnamed protections being lifted recently in certain unnamed locations … It will only be a matter of time before the children return to the mines that they yearn for! I mean, what else are kids good for? They're small and able-bodied, conveniently fitting into tight locations that are often found in confined work spaces like mine shafts and maintenance corridors. Sounds like wasted…

Customers can feel entitled to just about anything, as this sneaky woman proved to a thrift shop employee . The employee wrote that as a 4 year veteran of the thrift shop she works at, she has lots of regulars, including some that have no boundaries whatsoever. “V," as the OP has nicknamed her, is super pushy and feels that she runs the place. She seems to haggle with the employees to get prices lowered (at a thrift shop for goodness sake). But that's not even the worst of her problems. She als…

Remember that episode on Friends, when Rachel lied to Joey about her boss wanting to ‘buy her baby’? This story has a similar plotline, except it's real. This particular boss began as OP's 'friend’ when OP was pregnant, alone, and stuck in a rut. The woman was offering OP an apartment (in a property she managed) and a job when she had neither. It was a no-brainer, and OP became her tenant and employee. Unfortunately, the woman was taking advantage of OP, and expected her to ‘give her her baby’.…

Imagine growing up in a family that has no care for your future education, except for one—your aunt. She sets aside enough money for your education before tragically passing away. When you go to use the money, you find that your parents have been helping themselves to it. How do you feel? Betrayed? Hurt?.. What do you do about it? This post was written and shared to Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit by Redditor u/Accomplished_Bar5656, who shared her story with the popular subreddit to get the…

In case you hadn't heard, one of the most popular attractions for the Karens of the world is the amusement park.

What happens when you pair a working woman who financially abuses her partner with a stay-at-home dad with a spending problem?

Families always have a complicated dynamic. Because nobody has a perfect family, most people can relate to having a family group chat go completely awry, even when the best efforts and intentions are made. One woman knows better than anyone that a family chat can go south in an instant. Recently a girl named Mikayla was attempting to get the family reunited to celebrate the birthday of their grandma all together. To do so, she reached out to a large group of family members – aunts, cousins, sib…

Grab you 10-gallon hat, slide into them boots, clasp that big ‘ol shiny buckles and let’s get rootin' tootin', because it's that time of the week again! It's time to kick off your weekend with some yeehawin' memes. You ain't gotta be a cowboy or cowgirl to appreciate the humor in this crop of memes, but if you do find yourself doing some cowboyin' then you might find these extra funny. Us hardworking folk all deserve a good barrel of extra hearty laughs. We're like the rodeo star of the interne…

Imagine you're a business owner who has just opened up their doors. You operate out of a storefront in a small neighborhood center that provides outdoor maintenance and cleaning. Along comes a Karen with her flock of children; they're out of control, making a fuss and a scene. The maintenance guy is out front cleaning the sidewalk. They're repeatedly getting in the maintenance guy's way, pestering him with all types of questions, and he quickly has just about had enough. He lets it fly at Karen…

For anyone who has ever had to deal with a crazy bridezilla, this story has the kind of triumphant ending bridezillas deserve.

Home Owner's Associations often delight in trying to get people to change their homes, but this HOA extended their reach even further. For this person, their HOA didn't just try to control their property, but even made a lake their jurisdiction! As the OP wrote to r/AmItheA******, they live in a lakefront cottage. The OP is also a pilot who owns a seaplane , which they can keep conveniently parked in the water in front of their home. In an effort to keep everyone safe around the plane, the OP c…

Friends do many things, but one thing they don't do is try to make money off of each other.
