Entitled driver refuses to stop making noise with car, faces payback when next door neighbor decides to move his fire pit: ‘I’ll do what I want in my own yard’
Just like with family, you can’t choose your neighbors (at least, that is the case with most places).

Disrespectful sister makes copious noise and invites friends over while her night-shift working sister is asleep while being a guest in her home: ‘I told her she needs to find somewhere else to stay’
I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to work the night shift. When I first applied to jobs out of college, I thought it would be cool to work from 3 PM to 11 PM, go to the bar after work, and have a beautiful morning to myself every weekday. Now, I realize how …

Self-centered remote working journalist complains about coffee shops having loud music: ‘I can’t hear myself think, let alone do Zoom calls here’
I’ll be the first to admit it: as somebody whose job requires little more than a laptop, a phone, and the world-weary cynicism of somebody who has spent too much time on the internet, I have frequently worked in places that many would not consider workplaces.

They’re not exactly the most compliant or predictable of companions, something that can provoke misery in both the parents and the people around them.

‘Let’s save the exorcism performances for another time’: Preteen Swiftie shrieks throughout 3 hour concert, faces judgment of the internet
Live music can be an emotional experience for everyone involved. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve felt overwhelmed at some concerts that I have attended and even shed a tear or two. However, there is a difference between expressing emotion about the art that you love and being a massive inconvenience to everyone around …

People Discuss Things They Dislike More As They Get Older
This might be a hot take, but getting older is good. You get to grow out of some things you were obsessed with as a kid, which can be sad in some cases, but not all. When I was a tween, I was obsessed with eating Nutella with a spoon right out of the jar. …
