Elderly Woman Fires Caregiver For Using Her Washer and Drying to do Her Personal Laundry: ‘My Mother Noticed the Water Bill was a Little Higher Than Usual.’

Was she wrong for firing her for this?  Life is so annoying when you don’t have a washer and dryer in your building. If you’ve ever had an apartment that necessitates you going to the laundromat multiple times a week, you know how annoying that is. My bestie just moved to my neighborhood, and her …

Boss demands Marketing Coordinator work from the office alone while all other employees are working from home: ‘I asked if I could go to work from home and she has just ghosted me.’

Is there any value in having an employee work from the office by himself? I find great value in working alongside others. I get so much more done working in a cafe with my friends than I do working at home, lying in bed in my pajamas, and a lot of Work from Home evangelists …

Employee refuses to help her new boss, whom she has trained, with something she’s taught her how to do 3 times already: ‘I’m sure you can figure that out. It’s above my pay grade.’

The new girl is not as great as her boss says she is. It’s easy for companies to get caught up in the potential of their new hires. It’s only natural, since new hires are much more likely to act as if they will do anything and everything for a company to prove that they’re …

Professor fails to inform student of test rescheduling, causing student to miss the exam, student demands to choose a new date: ‘I got told to reshuffle my life’

Sometimes you find yourself in a position where you simply have to accept your fate.  When a college professor makes a mistake towards the students, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that those who pay the price are, in fact, the students, even though they did nothing to deserve it. For example, every student had this one …

Sisters agree to split the cost of an expensive gift for Mom, but the younger sibling bails on her half after taking credit for the gift: ‘NEVER AGAIN’

Sometimes the perfect gift for a loved one is just too pricey. Gift givers lament when they’ve thought of the perfect gift out of their price range, finding workarounds to wrap up the ideal gift. For those of us whose love language is gift giving, this can be the most frustrating part of showing we …

Son and daughter-in-law announce they will spend Christmas Eve with his parents and Christmas Day with her parents indefinitely; his parents beg for them to alternate every year: ‘The implication is that we will never host them on Christmas Day.’

Situations like this are why people hate the holiday season. The holidays are the perfect time to make your family feel guilty about not spending enough time with you. After all, why enjoy the togetherness of Thanksgiving and Christmas? It’s so much more fun to sigh and moan about how life could be like this …

‘He’s just sitting there watching anime the whole time’: Fustrated cafe-regular asks young man to give up his seat at crowded cafe, says since he didn’t purchase anything, it’s not ethical for him to take up seating

Is it possible for an action comic to lack an obvious hero and villain?  What if no one person is perfectly right or undoubtedly wrong? Is there such a thing as the ‘middle-ground’ when it comes to one person against another, or is the angel vs devil mentality too painfully secured? Okay, maybe in a …

‘You’re asking for trouble’: Dad buys milkshake for 10-year-old after dentist visit, mom claims it’s ‘unfair’ to their 7 and 8-year-old kids

Life isn’t fair. This is a rule that it is best to learn early and to learn often. You can’t always expect to get the same thing as everyone else. You learn this extra early if you have siblings. You might see that your parents were probably stricter with the first child than they are …

Mother Grounds Her Kid for Six Months After They Break a Vase

Back when I was in my tween years, the one sentence that struck me with a deafening blow was, ‘You’re grounded’. Fair, I was grounded for 2 weeks, not 6 months, like this person, u/DwarfyMorphy. You would think that being a decent mom would not be too hard, but apparently, some people’s brains work super …

Greedy Family Demands Inheritance from Daughter They Refused to Support

Family drama can get messy. Throw any sort of inheritance issue into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. Greed shouldn’t get in the way of familial relationships, but, unfortunately, people are money hungry by nature. I suppose that’s cynical; it’s just quite often true. In a post to the /r/amitheasshole subreddit, user …
