Parents put their phones on do not disturb from 10 PM to 7 AM every night, sleep through their 18-year-old getting in a car crash at 1 AM: ‘I couldn’t forgive them for making me feel abandoned’

If there’s one thing I know about my mom, it’s that she can’t sleep. I know that it’s low-key my fault because she hasn’t been able to sleep 8 hours a night consistently since she had kids. It’s not that we were getting her up all night into our teens, but rather that she was …

29 Driving Memes To Keep You Company When You’re Full Stop in Gridlock Traffic

Where the the folks with driver’s licenses, new drivers and old ones alike? You’re pretty lucky. The very fact that we can hop in an automobile and go wherever we want is kind of sick. When you think about it, the invention of the car was monumental in travel inventions as the previous form of …

‘They think I don’t need the money’: Babysitter Gets Short-Changed by Cheap Parents After They Find Out She Drives a Nice Car

If you went to the gas station and tried to give the cashier $1 for a gallon of gas, they’d probably laugh at you and send you packing. We learn from an early age that goods and services cost money, but somehow, once entitled parents spawn an expensive baby, normalities don’t apply to them anymore. …

Picky wife complains that husband bought her the wrong brand of car: ‘For the money he spent on that he could’ve bought what she asked for’

Those of us ‘raised right’ were probably all taught something similar when it comes to accepting gifts: you smile politely and thank whoever gave it to you, even if it’s something you don’t like. However, there are times in life when that isn’t the most appropriate response. For something that should be a nice gesture—heck, …

‘He […] stormed into the office block’: Entitled coworker asks to drive coworker’s brand new Mercedes, lashes out when he refuses

People are weird about their cars. Some folks are as protective over them as they would be a newborn child. Others see their car as the simplest way from point A to point B, and they could care less if you spill a milkshake in the backseat. It wouldn’t be the first time. But no …

Parents buy 16-year-old daughter a new car for her birthday, give 19-year-old son a book and a gift card after refusing to help him buy a used car: ‘They accused me of being jealous of my sister’

Siblings aren’t always treated the same. It’s not always the best practice for parents to do the same thing for each kid because each kid has different needs. Still, it can sting a little bit for an older child to see their younger sibling getting away with things that they were heavily reprimanded for. Life …

Drivers and non-drivers debate why people shame teenagers for not getting their license: ‘If public transportation was accessible, many people wouldn’t’

I got my driver’s license later in life. By that, I mean ten months after I turned 16. In the town I grew up in, that might as well have been later in life. I’ve never felt more social pressure to do something than get my driver’s license. Kids in my class were dumbfounded by …

The internet celebrates the 10 year anniversary remake of iconic ‘I’m in me mum’s car’ Vine: ‘One of the first that really captured the imagination of many’

I think it’s fair to say that the internet has changed immeasurably in the past ten years. Platforms have been and gone, styles of internet humor have fallen out of fashion (then come back ironically again), and being an influencer has become a much more viable career choice. As a result, it’s probably no surprise …

Entitled 16-year-old infuriates parents by rejecting the car they gifted her: ‘You and dad drive nice cars, I was expecting a nice car as well’

For many teenagers, getting their first car is as big a rite of passage as going to prom, working their first job, or having their first kiss. It signifies an extra level of freedom from being dependent on their parents, and it gives them something to show off in the high school parking lot.  By …

Entitled passenger complains about missing flight after being late, gets dragged: ‘Is this your first time on vacation?’

Did the airport dad phenomenon teach us nothing? If there is one golden rule of being in the airport, it’s to leave as much time for everything as possible. Arriving two to three hours before you are meant to board the plane is generally the standard advice, but it doesn’t stop some people from thinking …
