There’s a classic Seinfeld bit about car rental services when Jerry goes to pick up a rental car and they don’t have it. He then says to the clerk, «You know how to take the reservation, you just don’t know how to hold the reservation. And that’s really the most important part of the reservation: …

‘I was just on my way into my apartment when a stranger stopped me’: Man off the street offers stranger $5 to use his bathroom, man refuses
When you gotta go, you gotta go. But there isn’t always a place for you. You know this if you’ve ever roamed a city. You spend all day bopping around from place to place, walking through different neighborhoods. And then it strikes you. You need to use the bathroom. But odds are, you’re in a …

‘These kids are being used as a cute front to fund luxuries that parents should be paying for’: 5 and 6 year-old kids run lemonade stand every day into the school year, sparking neighbor’s concern and suspicion
Running a «business» when you’re a kid is a rite of passage. For some reason, all of us want to grow up way too fast and thus want to role-play all the parts of being an adult. We want to pretend to have weddings, have kids, and have jobs. I remember playing «teacher» with my …

Karen neighbor complains about 7 and 9-year-old kids playing outside at 10 AM, demands that they stop running around and laughing: ‘Meanwhile, I can hear her vacuuming and blasting her TV through the walls’
Some people live to complain. They have easy, comfortable, happy lives, and that bores them. They’re so bored that they have to seek out problems to complain about, as it makes them feel important. When I was a teenager working at a restaurant in an incredibly wealthy community, I was always shocked by how little …

Woman repeatedly donates money to lazy 19 and 20-year-old neighbors who refuse to get jobs, neighbors steal her fishing boat without asking: ‘I told her to stop trying to help these people, they’re just going to keep on walking all over her’
Enablers are some of the nicest, sweetest people you’ll ever meet. They always want everybody to be happy and are willing to make the most ridiculous decisions imaginable because they genuinely believe they’re doing the right thing. They are eager to enable bad behavior from their kids, spouse, or friends because it maintains the illusion …

Woman wants to use neighbor’s balcony they pay $75/month extra for, calls them ‘elitist’ for refusing: ‘You should share. Not everyone has your luck’
Privacy is important, especially when you live in a big city. There is so much going on in the world that when you come home you just need a place to relax. You don’t want anybody bothering you or anyone in your space when you get home. You want to be able to shut your …

Nightshift worker lets his dog bark outside all night, until a petty neighbor makes an audio recording to turn the tables: ‘Sometimes the best revenge is pressing play’
Dogs bark sometimes, it’s only natural. But if your neighbor’s dog can’t seem to take a breath from all of the barking they’re doing from midnight to 3 AM, something is amiss. There’s nothing natural about a doggo stressing out the entire neighborhood while their owner ignores their apparent distress, but this petty neighbor found …

Nosy 60-year-old grandma demands her 27-year-old neighbor give her the $10 rocking chair that she thrifted, insists her grandkids need it: ‘No, Carol. I’m really not interested in selling this. Please go home.’
The generations are colliding in suburban neighborhoods all throughout the country. Well actually, they aren’t colliding nearly as much as they should be. My parents live in a typical suburb that you’d think would be populated mostly by families. Well unfortunately most young families with children can’t afford to live in such a suburb, leaving …

24 Neighbor Memes That Won’t Spy On You Through You Through a Fence
Neighbors—we have to live with ‘em, even when we really don’t want to. In the city, you’re living above or below someone (or sometimes even both). In more rural, suburban areas, you have to deal with HOAs and neighbors who refuse to clean dog stuff off of their lawns. The neighbor life isn’t easy, but …

32-year-old man calls cops on 2 and 7-year-old children playing outside unattended, neighbor responsible for the kids screams at him for not letting them into his house: ‘The officer just let her leave with the boy and didn’t even go talk to the parents’
I hate that we live in such a surveillance culture. I understand parents wanting to protect their kids as much as they can, but forbidding kids from playing outside independently has a hugely negative impact on children. If they feel safe playing in their neighborhood without needing to ask their parents every five seconds if …
