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. Everything erupted into chaos. The husband was running around frantically, the wife was yelling and f ..read more

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 no for an answer. And in that case, as u/wing_nut_101 puts it, "be careful what you wish for."  It was clear to the original writer of this story that the DIYer was inexperienced. He didn't actually know which concrete type he was supposed to be using. Like this man literally showed up at the store with no idea what he wa ..read more

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 and it's hard to make cents of the chaos. It really makes you wonder whether or not a lot of those "totally evil" crime syndicates shouldn't be adopting something wholly less evil as their logo—you know, the usual skulls and bones and all that jazz. Instead, why don't they just use a ferris wheel or a merry go round or, you know, something that actually goes "around" for their imagery. With all this ..read more

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 asking her to help with the school's production of Grease. The mom, whose kid doesn't even go to that sch ..read more

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 demanding for a Venmo payment immediately. Her former boss tried to use every excuse under the ..read more

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, rocking the boat of our lifestyle and threatening to dismantle everything we've built so far. But the single mother in our next story proved that not everything is flushed down the toilet when you're laid off, as long as you're willing to persevere and put your pride aside. Being a single mother is tough enough–supporting a household ..read more

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 her appointment, demanding to be served. For some reason unknown to OP, the salon's owner decided t ..read more

Being a mechanic is like being a doctor - but for cars. From the inexperienced 16-year-old drivers who have let their engines leak for a little too long to the DIY car guy who thinks he can solve the problem himself, only making it worse, mechanics have seen it all. You never know what kind of customer is going to come to the shop that day. It could be a car that hasn't been serviced in so long it makes you cringe or a car that's been in a fender bender. But one thing is for sure: being a mechanic is a really rewarding career. As a mechanic, you are thrown all differe ..read more

This office's "cookie wizard" is having their week ruined by a coworker. It's because u/TensionRemarkable928 enjoys bringing chocolate chip cookies for their coworkers to munch on, and these cookies are next-level. These aren't your average, everyday snacks. These are cookies that this worker has spent ages perfecting, making batch after batch over a period of years.  Cooking and baking is how some families bond. You probably know someone who's overprotective of their family's recipes. Some grandparents spend a lifetime perfecting that soup recipe or getting that loaf of bread to be abso ..read more

Sometimes, being a good samaritan and getting petty revenge go hand in hand. Yes, one would think that this would be a strange juxtaposition. However, when an entitled person takes advantage of a vulnerable one, the hero of the story is the guy who gives that entitled dude a taste of his own medicine. Here, we have a BMW driver who parked right in front of the accessible ramp that a frequent churchgoer named Kyle uses to get inside the building. The good samaritan of this story noticed the BMW and first sought to help Kyle get inside with a few other friends. Once Kyle was safely inside, this ..read more
