When organizing a trip, there are many factors to take into account. The list is endless and includes the hotel, the vehicle to collect you from the airport, the various activities, and the restaurants. But despite their evident importance, the flights are an important component that is occasionally overlooked. The flights and seats you book should be carefully considered when making travel plans, as they have the power to make or break the remainder of your trip. The story that follows is an a…

In the corporate world, men are the majority—or at least they were until bold female entrepreneurs and businesswomen ventured into the ring. However, as everyone knows, everything is fun and games until money is involved. So, what would you do if someone tried to minimize your abilities and potential solely because of your gender? Would you run away in fear, or would you put in even more effort to prove them wrong? The story that follows centers on a female academic who has been subjected to cr…

Families are not always easy to manage. That being said, no matter what your family do or say, you should always be their strongest ally. However, what would you do if a woman showed up out of the blue and introduced herself as your sister? The account that follows is the story of a perplexed individual. The Original Poster (OP), who was fortunate enough to be adopted at a young age, does not remember anything about his time in the foster system. Nevertheless, when OP's long-lost sister decided…

Every so often, an entitled hotel guest comes along, thinking they can outsmart the front desk manager. However, time and time again, their schemes fail. It seems they underestimate the experience of hotel employees who have truly seen it all. In this particular incident, an entitled guy attempted to rent a room for two hours and then sought a refund, insisting he never used the room. The irony was that the bed was left unmade, and he had forgotten his phone charger in the room. Not the most su…

In a quiet neighborhood, there's a strange story about a neighbor who's a bit of a Karen, but not the loud type. Instead of causing a scene in public, she sneaks around at night, quietly planning her revenge. That is, until her neighbor caught her on video, promoting the OP to file a police report against her. Once the word got out in the neighborhood, it was soon revealed that the OP wasn't the only one dealing with Karen's mysterious actions. It turns out she's been sneaking around to...

When we were kids, bratty kids on the playground would claim that their dad, uncle, or other random family member worked for Nintendo. They'd always be spouting some bogus insider information or rumors as if they were undeniable facts, all in the name of getting much-needed attention and clout. These were the days when the internet was just getting started, so it was never really possible to prove their audacious claims to be false, but there certainly were some heated 'uh-uh's' and 'yeah-huh's…

Can you really call dibs on an item in a store? Like any typical shopper, if you aren't sure about an item, you usually hold on to it or put it in your cart while you walk around, just to give you a little more time to decide if the item is really worth it. Or you could come back to the item, but there's no guarantee it will still be there, as other customers may walk past it and snag it for themselves. This is even more true in a thrift store, where every item is unique and usually one of a ki…

After being a part of a close-knit social circle for some time, one of the friends within the group began showing some problematic behavior. Over time, this so-called friend's behavior continued to deteriorate and spiral out of control. What started innocently enough with him 'borrowing' money from some friends and failing to pay them back evolved into outright stealing. Even though he repeatedly denied it, the friends knew that this guy who called himself a businessman actually...

If you've ever had a car, then you know that finding a parking spot can be the bane of your existence. But there's good and bad ways to go about finding a spot. The good way is, if you can't find one then you simply leave the lot and find parking elsewhere. Super easy and devoid of conflict! The bad way is, you physically run into the spot in order to save it. This is exactly what happened to OP when he pulled halfway into a spot and a wild Karen appears out of nowhere to try and hold it with h…

it's the thought that counts

We all know the agony of circling around multiple blocks in desperate search of a spot to parallel park on the street. You suddenly see your opening and do a little fist bump in relief, only to pull up and see a fire hydrant. A little part of me always wants just to snag the spot anyways and hope not to get a ticket. Well after reading this story, I think I'd rather circle the block for hours instead of risking parking next to a fire hydrant.

People think they deserve charity for simply existing as if that entitles them to free stuff and a pat on the back. This woman reportedly drove '3 hours just for her kids to be disappointed', but the real disappointment here is that she, as a mother, booked a hotel room she knew she couldn't afford. And not by a bit… by a LOT. But before I get ahead of myself, let's start at the beginning. OP was working as a front desk clerk at an expensive, high-end resort. A woman who had booked a $600 hotel…

The audacity

Employees should always be allowed to stand up for themselves. In many workplaces, employees are expected to let customers do whatever they want. “The customer is always right,” is the motto. But as you know if you've worked in retail lately, customers aren't always right---instead, certain customers are riled up and ready to take their frustrations out on the next employee they see. This woman took her anger way too far in this video recorded by @davenewworld_2. While the video leaves out a lo…

In the cutthroat world of office politics, where the water cooler gossip flows as freely as the coffee, one woman found herself at the center of an absurd controversy. Meet our protagonist, a passionate home chef with a knack for whipping up delectable dishes from scratch. When asked about her daily lunch, she'd occasionally share with coworkers, but always on her own terms. One fateful day, a coworker made an offer she couldn't refuse: a baloney and mayonnaise sandwich in exchange for her cove…

It's their space too
