One man dismantled his HOA after getting on the board and exacting some well-deserved payback after they gave him ridiculous fines. Why even live in a neighborhood with an HOA? This person explained why he felt he had no choice, as the neighborhood he chose to buy a house in had the lowest HOA rates in the city, the fewest rules, and most importantly, the house was listed well within his budget. After a few weeks, OP began regretting his decision, because he was fined for two things… One, his l…

A manager acting clueless? What a surprise. When restaurants have busy days , they prepare for them in advance. Fast-food restaurants are well aware that certain holidays and the days around those holidays are going to be jam-packed. For example, it's not just Christmas Day that's busy. People are out doing their last-minute shopping for a few days beforehand, and they might decide on a quick meal on their way home. In order to be prepared for that influx of people, restaurants need to have ext…

It's funny how, as kids, we think that adults are the best at everything. They are free to do as they please, whenever they please, and with whoever they like. They are free to live their lives as they see fit with no one directing them what to do or how to do it. However, that is completely untrue. It's fascinating to notice that, no matter how passionately we remember and want it, that innocent feeling of freedom we so vividly recall from childhood has faded and disappeared and is unlikely ev…

"I have altered the deal… pray I don't alter it further…" is a great quote when it's being spoken by one of the greatest movie villains of the 20th century, but is not something you want to hear coming from your boss—especially when the thing they're changing directly affects your upcoming pay.

The juicy back-and-forth between warring neighbors will never stop being entertaining. Whether it's the small town gossiping or petty grievances over mail and property lines, we are accustomed to coming across stories of entitled, anti-neighborly behavior here at FAIL Blog. That being said, it is rare to come across a multi-part saga in which one resident chooses to go so far as to poison the grass on their neighbor's lawn. Not only does that qualify as extremely anti-neighborly behavior, but a…

In stories, when a character has done something wrong or displays a glaring personality flaw, there's generally a direct price that is played at some point in the story, usually soon thereafter. In life, there are relatively few times when the lesson or moral to the story of your wrongful actions is quite so clear. No, usually, we get away with being generally lazy, cruel, entitled, or plain old wrong for far too long before that karmic pendulum swings back in our direction… sometimes, we may e…

One person was giving away some cat shelves for free, when they encountered the weirdest customer they had ever come across. When you buy something online you determine a time to meet up, right? I feel like that's the universally acceptable thing to do. Otherwise, you risk just standing outside in the rain or something, without having a concrete plan in place for when you will have the product in your hands. And if you did end up driving out to a seller's house without having set a time to meet…

This employee got stuck working with a supervisor they were particularly not fond of. That happens in life. You can't always work with your work bestie. It makes a huge difference when you have fun coworkers. You both have to be there for an entire six- or eight-hour shift, so you may as well try to make it enjoyable. Some coworkers have a great sense of humor. Others you'll get to know on a deep level and know all of their interesting lore. Having deep conversations while folding shirts togeth…

Was this dude trying to get zero applicants? As contemporary culture continues to grapple with and redefine our collective approach to reforming toxic work environments, one has to wonder what possessed this job poster to boldly compile all the things you should not say about how you treat your employees and put them together as you search for a new employee. Obviously, this guy is not a genius, or as he would spell it, “geneius." Before we move on to picking apart why this job posting so heavi…

This customer still hasn't learned proper tipping etiquette . Even after numerous orders from the same pizza place, she still thinks it's cool not to tip the pizza delivery dude. Tipping culture has never been more hotly contested, as more and more places have added tipping options to every order. It's especially awkward when you're buying something at a store or restaurant where you're just being handed an item. If the person behind the counter just rings you up your order, why should you have…

Surviving the experience of having a Karen as a housemate is an awards-worthy feat. We all know that it's not easy to have to deal with a Karen customer or even to witness a Karen on the street, but of course, these are all temporary encounters. Having to deal with a Karen day in and day out can be soul-crushing, and yet this housemate managed to endure and even managed to pull off some petty revenge along the way. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by u/Roguefem-76 , w…

The heavy hand of retribution falls hardest on a parasitic roommate.

Long gone are the days I went to summer camp, but I always enjoy a good story about camp counselors vs camp attendees. In this case, OP was in an IT course in a Balkan country, and they got an offer to go to a summer sports camp. OP describes the adventure as ‘fun’ even though there were quite a few things that were a bit ‘off’ about the camp itself. Still, when you are young, you know how to ignore red flags and just have fun. One of the bigger issues was the curfew… or rather, the lack of lig…

Hotels are supposed to be an escape to a great night's sleep…but not for this family. Whether you're on vacation or traveling for business , having a good night's sleep is crucial. You're used to your cozy bed at home, so it can be disorienting to be in a foreign place. Luckily, many hotels offer soft beds and cold rooms to get the best night's sleep possible. That allows you to wake up in the morning and be prepared for whatever the day throws at your, whether that's riding waterslides or givi…

The account that follows is the story of an extremely entitled mother who finally learned valuable life lessons such as never accepting candy from strangers, setting boundaries, and being cautious around strangers. The story starts when OP invites her kids to the water park. Unfortunately, OP's severe motion sickness prevents her from enjoying the rides with her children. However, because being a mom requires sacrifice, OP arrived on site prepared, clutching a bag full of ginger candies that wo…

There's nothing more confusing in life than someone who refuses to accept that withholding a part of their order actually makes it a different order. It's like when someone orders a cheeseburger without cheese but refuses to accept that all that does is make it a hamburger. Similarly, if you're ordering eggs Benedict without Hollandaise sauce, you might as well just be ordering a poached egg on a bun. Making an issue of that fact really just betrays your lack of ability to think logically. So,…
