Dad Insists 16-Year-Old Community College Student Son Give Him His School Laptop So He Can Sell It: ‘My Dad Has Been Unemployed Since He Was 35.’

He’s just jealous that his kid is more hardworking than he’ll ever be, and he wants to sabotage him. I will never understand parents who intentionally clip their children’s wings for their own selfish reasons. They will sabotage career opportunities and relationships that can benefit their kids in the long run merely because it makes …

Substitute teacher rearranges teacher’s classroom and throws away her students’ ungraded assignments: ‘She also moved my plants, including an orchid that’s pretty particular about lighting.’

What made her think that she had the right to do that?  When I was a kid, I tried my best to empathize with substitute teachers because I knew they had an incredibly difficult job. Kids were always trying to take advantage of the substitute’s ignorance and derail the classroom as much as they possibly …

When you own something expensive, you’re probably doing everything in your power to keep it safe.  We all have a prized possession. It might be your car, a family heirloom, or your laptop. Most people need laptops to do their job. A lot of people would be out of work if all the laptops in …

Gamer refuses to share their expensive laptop with a 10-year-old cousin, but when the entitled aunt demands access, she gets kicked out of the house: ‘I saved up for 2 years to build my own PC’

She saved up her money to buy a nice laptop for gaming and work, not for a 10-year-old’s Fortnite matches and Cheeto fingers.  iPad parents are worse than the kids. Obsessed with the hypnotic effect of screens and reliant on binky-like dampening of their child’s behavior, screen-pushing parents turn their children into feral beasts. Like …

They should at least pay for half of it When you’re babysitting or petsitting, you need to be smart about exactly where you put your possessions. Kids and animals are not always the most considerate of the fact that you spend a lot of money on your jewelry, and do not appreciate it if someone …

Manager expects employee to use her personal computer for work because the company’s laptops are slow: ‘Apparently, half my coworkers are using their own equipment because the company refuses to upgrade.’

It’s not her responsibility to supply work equipment.  It’s no fun to have to use your own personal money to buy things you need to do your job. Who among us hasn’t had to spend money on our own uniforms for a job, even though they were a requirement? Some might think buying a Burger …

Dad restricts 19-year-old daughter’s laptop use because he doesn’t believe she’s spending 8-10 hours a day doing homework: ‘I don’t understand why every assignment needs a computer or laptop.’

Extremely old people often don’t realize just how much work one can accomplish on a laptop. You can work a 9-to-5 job, write a novel, correspond with people all over the world, code, earn a degree, and network like nobody’s business with just a regular PC. I understand the impulse that thinking any time spent …

It’s always funny (or sad, depending on how you’re looking at it) to walk into a store and realize you’re dressed like the employees. This gives you the opportunity to do some really funny things in that store, and possibly get away with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Targets out there do not …
