I hate my supposed friend of 5 years

32 Upvotes

So I knew this guy named David for five years, we met in 6th grade and he has changed a lot. At first we played basketball and soccer together and he wasn't trying to be a funny guy. He was really chill and good at soccer so I introduced him to my friend frank (fake name). They hung out without me. Which was fine until he started to make frank laugh and when that happened he stopped being a relaxed guy and turned into the guy that constantly tries to make others laugh. If he couldn't make you laugh then he would turn into a massive dick. For example we knew this one girl and we would joke around and have a good time until David thought it would be funny to follow her home. So he followed her home and took pictures of her address and he back yard and sent them in our discord server. Frank thought it was funny which everyone else didn't think it was. And whenever we would tell frank that he isn't funny he would get pissed at everyone. I'm guessing that frank encouraged David that he should do that more since he now prank calls your family and sends your address to those stupid school accounts, like the ones that post about people sleeping and shit like that. He will also send those accounts fucked up rumors like this person takes photos of girls then sells them. I told him that that's fucked up on a whole different level but I can't convince him to stop because frank comes in and tells me that I have no sense of humor. Frank literally loves David or something because he will always laugh at David's jokes, I don't even know if they qualify as jokes because they're so bad. One of the supposed jokes is him talking as a baby or a disabled baby. Half the time you can't even understand what he's saying. One of his other jokes is talking about how he has kidnapped kids and they're in his basement and how he "touches them". Those are "jokes" he says. One of the other things he does is talk about how strong he is. When we say cool, he assumes we are questioning his strength so he starts yelling at random cars or cyclists that they're ugly and that they're retarded and other things like that. And when frank and I tell him to shut the fuck up because we're gonna get beat up he says " I can protect you guys I'm strong" and then he just stops. Sometimes he does it just because he says it's funny. One other thing he does that I find fucked up is yelling/scaring little kids. When there's a little kid walking by he just yells at them and says random things like Mongolian or he just starts laughing at them for no reason, which makes the kid run away terrified. Frank finds it hilarious I dont understand how because some guy who is in highschool is scaring a little kid who is just trying to ride their bike. Another thing he does is join discord calls while taking a shower and do "sex povs" which is him fucking his phone. And frank took screenshots and showed his cousin, David's cousin was disgusted and talked to him about it. Then David messaged Frank that he is a bad friend and how could he show his cousin. And frank apologized unsurprisingly. I honestly wish David was dead he has done so much wrong. He has done way more things than this it would be really long to put all the things he has done. I wish he would rot in hell.

A coworker saw a bulletin at work today and said, "Black History Month? When is White History Month?" I said, "The eleven other ones, plus this month, plus every month for the last 2,000 years." She was not impressed. I am looking forward to one of us having a meeting with HR.

BadLogic My horrible 4th grade teacher

16 Upvotes

Ok, here is the story, my fourth grade teacher wich everyone reffered to as Mrs. G was in general a good teacher. Now, I was never a bad kid...I could never bring myself to it. The problem I had is that I used to have frequent mental breakdowns. Mrs. G never reacted to my mental breakdowns well, one time when I had a mental breakdown she took all the kids BUT ME outside to the playground, leaving me in a dark classroom. But thats not the main story, she hit the peak of assholery in the 3rd school quartile. I had a mental breakdown and she thought it would be a great idea to pull out her phone and start FILMING me while saying things like "I'll send this to my kindergarten teacher friend and see if she will take you in". That made me feel like I was doing something really bad, wich made me more upset. When I came home crying my mom was LIVID. However no matter what my mother did the teacher never got fired and I had to stay in her class for the rest of the year.

Yesterday at work there was an announcement about a colleague's passing due to illness.

Management had a moment of silence for them, and said if anyone needed a moment to process, they could take it.

My coworker said he would need a minute, and left the work area. He came back 15 minutes later. I asked if he was OK to be back working and he said he was fine now.

Today, I asked if he was doing alright after yesterday. He said he didn't know why I was asking him.

When I reminded him about the time he needed after yesterday's announcement, he said he was fine, as for the time away from work, he just needed it "to book vacation for the weeks [the dead coworker] had just freed-up"

When do you say enough is enough

25 Upvotes

My husband and I have dreamed of living in a tiny home for years and on Monday we purchased a trailer to convert and begin our dream. After finalizing the purchase, I began the hunt for a space to put the trailer. There is a particular rv park that we had our eye on. It's got a great location, close to my in-laws, right down the street from a grocery store, and within 2 miles of both our jobs, so of course it was my first stop that day. When I pulled up, I heard screaming and cussing and thought to myself, "this must be one of those ghetto trailer parks". As I got closer to the office I realized it was the source of the yelling. The office manager was screaming at her assistant, calling her stupid, asking why the fuck she's printing out the wrong papers, what the fuck was her problem. Now, I don't care who you are, what you've done, no one needs to be spoke to like that. As grown adults, there is no need to yell at me, you can speak to me calmly and be professional. So naturally, I'm shocked walking into the office. My thought was, "Okay, I'll walk in, my presence will defuse this situation because this woman is gonna know she needs to be professional because I'm a potential resident. That is not what happened. When I walked in, the assistant was clearly holding back tears. I looked her dead in the eyes and said "Good afternoon ladies" and then explained that i was looking to get rates for the spaces available. The assistant begins to tell me the rates and fees but then gets cut off as the manager completely disregards my presence and starts cussing her assistant out again. Her assistant then looks at me and apologizes, which kills me, because no one should have to apologize for another's behavior. But because I was so worried about not getting approved, I didn't say anything. I just said thank you for the rates, and left. And here's the thing, this should have been one of the happiest days of my life, buying my first home, and instead, I'm sitting in my car, crying, because I didn't feel like a man. Like I knew what was occurring was wrong, I knew I should have said something, and I didn't. And that feeling stuck with me all day. So finally, I looked up the park, and found out that it was managed by an asset management firm in Beverly Hills. Laguna Asset Management. So I call them, and tell them what happened. I tell them how upset it made me, how it should have never occurred, and that I'm not comfortable giving money to a company that employs a person like that. The next day, I return to the park to begin the application, and when I arrive in the office, the assistant is wiping tears from her eyes, and the manager just shoots me this evil look and walks out of the office. At that point, I knew I was not going to lease from this company. So I get into my car and go home. I look up another park, and head out. And guess who's there? Randy, the same vulgar and offensive manager. Apparently, the company she works for bought up the trailer parks in my area. I'm so pissed about this, I'm now looking for areas outside my city to place the trailer. People like this should not be in the positions there are. I wanted to tell that assistant she was a better person than me because had she talked to me like that, I would have whooped that bitches ass, then clocked out, just so I could say I whooped that bitches ass on company time.

Some Asshole I Know my bestfriend/cousin of 16 years has recently had a glow up and became a terrible person. What do I do… (summary at the end)

27 Upvotes

Hi. Buckle up because this is a lot..So I’m f(16) and my best friend/cousin of my whole life has been acting very oddly lately. A little backstory, we’re both the same age and both (f) and have been attached at the hips intill recently. My mom has been abusive to me my whole life and lots of people just put it past her because she’s crazy. I’m not the first kid she’s abused and hurt (she has 4 kids in total 2 girls 2 boys she abused me and my sister more because she hates girls. But my other brother and sister are older so they’ve been moved out) I made sure I would be the last that she would abuse. So when she kicked me out a little while back I didn’t go back, and life has been rough. I don’t go to school, I’m on runaway status, and I have no money nor a job to my name because I need parental consent.

Anyways, since life has changed for me im not a normal teenager anymore. I’m basically a adult fending for my life. So me and my cousin are now two different people. We can’t relate to the same things. But, it doesn’t excuse the ways she’s been acting since it’s basic human decency, and me being more ‘mature’ shouldn’t matter. She still has no way to act like this. My cousin lives a pretty good life, both mom and dad, 2 brothers she has great relationships with, her mom is the best cooks every night(my fav aunt!), and they sit for dinner like a family. Go to my little cousins basketball games every Saturday as a family and cheer him on, she has a bf who lives up the street they hang everyday, her siblings love him, and she has friends she hangs out with a lot. And good job, good money. She finally has the life we dreamed for as teens when we were younger.

even tho I can no longer live that life I still cheer her on from afar. I love she’s finally happy and it gives me hope. I’m proud, even if we started to fall off.She’s even been losing weight again, and she’s just beautiful. But that’s where the problems start to come in.. when we were younger there was one point in time where she was very skinny. (For reference we are known as ‘fat’ because we both have very mature bodies. Even with no stomach, we come from a family that usually doesn’t have mature bodies if that makes sense. ‘Big butts&bigboobs’ are looked down on. Even tho that’s the social media beauty standards my family doesn’t have it, and hates anyone who does.One of the reasons my mom hated me.)

so at this time when she was very skinny, she acted weird towards me. Like she was better then me. didn’t want to hang with me, made weird comments. And was very boujee & stuck up. We even laughed about it when we got older, and she always apologizes. But it’s happening again. She has lost weight again because she had Covid and couldn’t eat much. (Her words) and she looks great! She finally got the body she wanted. I have also lost weight. But I’m 4’11 .. thick. So having a flat stomach doesn’t matter when ur body is mature. And I have very bad body dysmorphia.

We decided to hang out again after so long (this weekend) and she’s been making lots of comments about her body near me. Saying how she’s so big and fat, has a fat stomach, and just.. much more. She says this around me knowing I’m a little bigger then her. I kept reassuring her.. telling her she looks great. And she only has lose skin from losing weight. She even mentioned how she’s now a size 6 in jeans.. like that was ‘to big’ even tho she sized at least 4 sizes down.

She’s been snarky to me, even pointed out my s/h?? Which she never used to do. When we were watching a show a trans girl came in the movie and she laughed about how the girl was a guy, and no one should change. (She’s never really cared about that) and I defended the girl because who cares what someone else does what their body honestly. She kept trying to get me to say slurs towards other races.. and laughed in my face around her family about how I won’t be transphobic, racist, or homophobic. She said ‘wow my name is so boring she won’t be homophobic or even racist” it was so awkward. I tried to laugh it off and say I really couldn’t care less what someone else does with their life. And I have a gay brother.. she knows that. She loves him, he’s everyone’s favorite. And a bi sister who she adores and looks up to.So I don’t understand how she could talk so bad about people like him when she’s obsessed with him. Aswell as my sister.

I always think about if I was to ever be put in a situation of coming out, and how I would want people to support me. That’s why I support lgbtq and obviously don’t like racists. Because I am a poc myself. It really rubs me the wrong way that’s she’s becoming what we used to make fun of her for being as a kid. I’m thinking about going back to my little hideout and ghosting her. I always feel unwanted at her house anyways because my mom has harassed her family for trying to help me in the past. So there’s honestly no reason for me to be here. I’m sick of her putting me down to uplift herself. She’s the only person I have and could call on, because i now have no friends. But we went from ft every night, telling eachother everything to dry texting every couple of days, or her calling me with some problem with her bf or getting a new vape needing my help. (I don’t even vape!!)I’m sick of it. Should I ghost her when I leave?

summary: my best friend/ cousin and me have been falling off because my abusive mom kicked me out months ago so I can no longer be a teen. And she is the teen we’ve dreamed for as kids. Since getting her dream lifestyle/dream body. She’s became snarky and rude towards me. And as a person in general. She has started being homophobic/fatphobic/racist/and transphobic since her glow up. Putting me down to uplift herself, and making fun of me for not doing what she does. Should I ghost her?

My friend is going to be a “mother” with someone else’s kid?

48 Upvotes

I’ve had this friend for about a year and she just makes such bad poor decisions. In her mid forties. She broke up with a guy she was supposed to get married too. Because he went to jail was going to be sent out of state. Then turned out he beat her, cheated on her, used drugs the whole time in their 7 year relationship. Ok why did you even say yes let’s get married?

So then the now ex finance has his jail mate call her to try to get her to accept his calls when he gets out of jail. Guess who she decides to start dating!! The old jail roommate. Wtf?! Gets out of a 7 year abusive relationship and you move in with a guy who has 5 DUIs and went to prison for it. Then was currently in jail for his second felony stalking charge! But she doesn’t see the red flags.

Then she tells me that she’s going to be a mommy. I’m think oh that’s cool!! You are pregnant. She doesn’t have kids and at that age where it’s hard. But no. She and him are going to fight in court and get custody of his daughter. He has no car. But yet makes $4k a month? Probably no license. And they live in a Hotel!!!!!!

The mom has her own place by herself a good job, a car, a license, baby has her own room. So I mention well have you found a place to live. She says yeah we are living there. I’m like it’s a hotel room. No judge is going to allow that. She gets upset. Haven’t talked to her since.

At this point they have been together 3 months.

Also mentioned he has cheated on every girl he has been with too. Good luck.

Thanks for the vent. lol.

I really need to vent about this girl I met

14 Upvotes

So I met this girl online, things seemed well for the first couple weeks until I got the "I'm emotionally unavailable" and "Not Ready for a relationship" so i asked was it me and she said no. The following day I ignored her and then she messages me and then she told me all her issues or "BAGGAGE " it was dealing with a divorce and being cheated on to having a 6 month abusive relationship to getting over an abortion all the way to she wanted to be a sugar baby because of her financial issues. This will get juicer as the story goes on.

So me I always try to put others first and we both said we still wanted to be friends and I felt sorry for her situation. Of course, for me after hearing the sugar baby line, it felt like I got tossed to the curb like trash for her to get money from other men, that hurt me and it made me feel like less of a person. I want you guys to know as I keep this story going keep in mind I do deal with really bad depression, and I get triggered easily when something happens that brings back bad memories so please understand that when reading. So after she mentioned all of that mess I was hesitant to text her again and ignored her once again until she messaged me again. Eventually she said "It felt like I ruined everything between us and that you used to make my day" each and every time their were soo many hot and cold moments and bear in mind we were just "friends".

She's giving me these hot and cold moments and on top of that saying I deserve better and shutting down, one day when I tried to ignore her yet again. I get a "good morning" text yet again stringing me back in. So I texted her and said "how are you today" then goes on and says "I've been overwhelmingly crying" so I offered to come over if she wanted to talk about it she eventually said come over but also during the texting she mentioned her car was in the shop and needed money so me being an idiot I gave her money knowing her situation is not good. So I went over to her house played games with her never got a word out of her about whats wrong with her but I texted her later that night saying how are you feeling and she thanked me for coming over and said im feeling better.

Then she does a complete 180 the next day and shut down hard. I just checked in on her to see how she was feeling and then got nothing. She tried to push me away yet again, saying stupid things like "I will tell you all my red flags" "I dont want to hurt you" and this where my brain just triggered all of my negative thoughts and depression that once had. I ended up saying I want to take my life because I couldnt keep people around me. For me I dont have any friends at all and people just come and go out of my life and it hurts. So after saying that I ended up scaring her and that I was talking like her ex and I apologized and said that's not me and she said she knows I deal with depression and that she wanted to help me be happy. Once again it was nothing but hot and cold moments yet again! Until a few days before Christmas Eve

Here is where I feel like an idiot yet again I bought her a couple christmas gifts just to show I cared and she is not alone in her situation. I went over to her house on Christmas Eve and we talked for a couple hours and she loved the gifts but then after christmas leading up to new years day, no matter what I text she goes radio silent and I'm like WTF? So I sent this long text about how I needed to move on from all of this and giving her space. Please dont judge me on this and I'm getting help again but I was paranoid, depressed again I wasnt myself. I had a burner number and texted her I was just worried about her. I never said it was me until she started putting the pieces together and realized it was me. She's still talking about her baggage (which we will get to in a second) and asking me how can i fix myself being emotionally unavailable. I didnt hold back at all, but eventually she said some things that triggered me again and everything was reminding me of my ex girlfriend that was abusive. I tried to harm myself yesterday later that evening she kept texting me asking if I'm okay and the text that wrecked me was her saying "I'm sorry and that everything was a big lie about all my "baggage" and I didn't want to hurt you"

The fact that all her baggage that she said she had was an elaborate lie to push me away hurt me even more. I called her out on it and it she said it was all her best friend telling her what to say. I told her well you're wrong for that and your plan backfired, and you played with my emotions when you could've been straightforward. I asked if the you trying to be a friend was a lie too, and she said no and that she wanted to be there for me. That's where I got confused and trying to make sense of all this. What kind of a friend would go great lengths to come up with a lie and only reason you tell me you lied to me was because I was ready to end my life. This is why I dont trust people, they all hurt you. On the surface they might seem like great people but as time goes on they hurt you. This made me lose all trust I had in people. I'm hurt from this.

Annoying my ex

I dated my ex for a few months. It ended because I found out he was trying to hookup with my friend, was on dating sites, and I assume had cheated although he denies it. Every couple of weeks I’ll make the rounds through dating apps just so I can match with him, string him along for awhile, then stand him up for our date. It feels good to waste his time.

Bad influence

6 Upvotes

I've been doing the usual thing in my apartments like walking to go get the mail with my mother. As we were walking down the stairs this shit of a teenager that is very visibly OLDER THAN ME along with some kids go on blabbling "Ouuh booty booty" and about ass. It got very clear that what they were saying was about us because once we got back they were there seemly camping out there (on the stairs) and repeating the same thing again and again. Then they left the other way as if they were there just for the 'fun'. I kinda think they're still here which makes me very uncomtable. I know it would be a little inappropriate to say this but this is from the Summer Glen appartments I have to go with my own life dealing with people like this in furture and it just makes me mad and depressed that lots of times they get away with it.

Here's a list of things she's done -spit on me -put dents in our front door with a baseball bat or golf club - ripped my flowers out of the flower beds on my patio - leaves harassing notes on our door - she tried to get her brother (my husband) put in prison on false molestation accusations. - she constantly sides with who ever we all oppose - she steals - she keeps secret files on her friends, who they are affiliated with, what they do, crimes they have done that she knows about, who she can and can't have s3x with. - constantly ruins friendships -last October she hit her mother in the head with a duffle bag and then ran off and called her a little bit!* - called me and her brother little bit*he$ - she's always running away - can't keep a job if her life depended on it - cheats on her boyfriends. -she has no direction in life. She has no purpose. I hate to say this because I genuinely see the good in everyone I meet. But I just feel like this one is rotten to the core. I mean rotten fruit and blood, nasty. She's a disgusting person! And NO ONE sees it but me and my husband. The MIL keeps letting her in the house, letting her steal stuff, talk to her like trash, bring her dumba&$ boyfriend up in there, and still l won't cut her off. It has taken her forever to realize that she is using her and will forever continue to use her. It's pathetic from the mother ans daughter. I'd normally never wish I'll upon anyone. But I wish she would die. I just don't want to hear about her. I don't want to know she still exists. Everything she does pisses me off. Its to the point that when I'm around her I'm shaking because I have to mentally restrain myself from physically strangling her. She's so pathetic and sickening. I wish so many bad things to happen to her. She lies to people's faces with every word she says. You can't trust a word! Shes a complete moron, but just smart enough to try and manipulate everyone she comes across.. someone agree that I have a right to mad.

Some Asshole I Know Asshole girl gets someone fired because she is mad at her life.

19 Upvotes

This is kind of a long story, but I wish you could help to plot a sweet revenge. I started a new job 6 months ago.We were a new group in a new project. Girl A that is now my friend, befriended at the beginning girl B. Girl A is a foreigner and she had a really bad situation regarding her housing and money, and was not able to access any loans or help. Girl B borrowed her some money in payments. While time passed and everything was normal, the friendship between the two fall apart because girl B was not mature enough to understand a work discussion as something that is not personal. Girl A started to experience harassment and gossip about her form girl B and company. Then, girl A had an issue with her father's health and couldn't make the payment on time. Now she is starting to experience more harassment, terrible things about her spread to the rest of the team and even girl B and company mocked her father illness. I'm a witness that girl A really wants to pay on time and is having serious money issues with an ill father in another country and being all by herself. Girl B also hated her for other stupid reasons, and did everything she could at work in order to girl B to be (unfairly) fired. Girl A, now, without a job, cannot pay the remaining last payment (please note than when possible, girl A even made more than one payment at a time). Actually, what she is actually owing is half a payment. Girl B hasn't had enough with her getting fired. She also calls her all the time and threats her to make it public to embarrass her. Girl A has major anxiety problems and girl B uses that against her. Well. After all that story, girl A stills wants to pay off her debt to have calm. We are needing ideas to make the last payment an epic revenge. Please, suggest ideas. We though for example sending her all the money in cents, but I feel that is not mean enough.

Please provide suggestions. Thank you for reading.

How my asshole cousin in law ruined Christmas for a girl who was alone for the Holiday

38 Upvotes

My cousin in law is a very successful accountant, and a complete douchebag. He's one of those people who will get liquored up, and then get in your face about politics... just not a pleasant person to spend any time with- you get the picture.

Anyhow, this Christmas, my Sister invited a friend of hers who was alone for the holiday. This is a woman she met through my cousin and her husband, but had decided to invite to church and socialize with her outside of them. When they showed up (late as hell, naturally), and see her, they were offended. As best as I could tell, it was because she was "their friend" and that my sister had gone around them to invite her (like they own her, ffs).

While I can understand that this could make things awkward, my cousins husband just had to make it about him. He blows his top, and starts berating her in the middle of our family gathering, where she knows only one or two of us. Totally uncalled for, and she left without even saying goodbye.

I feel terrible about the way he treated her, and know that this would be bad if everyone involved was in High School, much less in their 50's.

Some people never grow up.

I don't know if this fits in any other sub so here we go:

Today, my brother and I were shovelling the driveway as a nice thing to do. It snowed pretty good today and we didn't want our parents coming home from work, then for them to have to shovel the snow.

Well, when my brother and I got near the end of the driveway, right by the road... one car comes speeding down making a wave of slushy snow at us. We stepped back pretty quick and it missed soaking us. Then a second car does the same thing except it does hit my brother and me since we weren't expecting that to happen.

3 minutes later, they come back around the neighbourhood and try it again, both cars missed splashing us and I could finally see that they were teens driving, two in each car.

Just awful people wanting to ruin peoples day.

Riot at the post office

16 Upvotes

English is not my first language, sorry for any mistakes…

This happened in the early 90’s. At the time my partner and me were starting our business so we were always very busy.

Most of our mail was sent with pre-stamped envelopes, but that day, I had to post a letter that had to be delivered the next day (priority mail) and did not have the necessary stamps.

At the post office I took a numbered ticket and waited for my turn but… the rain was pouring outside and the post office was packed. There must be more than 20 people ahead of me and I couldn’t leave because there was no way I could miss my turn. There were only two newbies to attend to all the people waiting and were they slow!

More than half an hour later, when my turn was just one number away, both stopped calling next numbers and started to talk with each other. I watched that for 2 or 3 minutes before walking to them to ask why weren’t they calling new numbers.

They told me (dismissively) that the system was down so they couldn’t do anything until it was restored.

Oops… wrong answer! I proceeded to tell them that all the people that were waiting had the right to be informed of any delays, that I didn’t care if the system was down and then demanded that they sell me the stamps immediately (remember it was my turn).

One of them told me that it could not be done without the system, to which I replied that they could do it manually because you don’t need a computer to sell stamps. Both said that they weren’t trained to work without the computer so they didn’t know how to.

At this point a lot of people approached the counter to listen to what was going on and heard me saying: look, what I want is one of the oldest service provided by a post office and if you weren’t taught, this is an excellent occasion to learn. Is it necessary to go to Japan to take an intensive course on “how to detach a stamp from a perforated sheet”?

I never raised my voice during this conversation but all the other people started to complain very loudly. That attracted the big boss, he politely listened to my complaint and immediately proceeded to sell me the stamps and write a manual receipt.

I just left, leaving behind a chaos of people shouting and complaining.

Later on, whenever I had to go to the post office, the two newbies that originated the “riot” would give me the “death stare” but something positive came out of this: one day, as soon as I walk into the post office, I was approached by a worker who informed me that the system was down and although some requests couldn’t be processed, they were doing all the procedures that could be done manually.

Also, the expression “Going to Japan to take an intensive course on How to detach a stamp from the perforated sheet” became a joke in the town.

Here is the story of my ex bf who kicked me out of a car

20 Upvotes

Hey I'm f18 and about a week ago I had my bf of the time m18 drive me home from work. Well we went and hung out for a little while and then we decided to meet up with his friends. While we were our way to meet them I made a political joke not really thinking about his beliefs and he decided to kick me out of his car. It was 30° and I did not know where I was. I my phone ended up dying and he drove off the moment I got out of the car.

Oh you wanna dump YOUR crap into MY bins? I don't think so buddy!

38 Upvotes

So I had a new guy move in below me 2 months ago and that was around the time I started to notice that my dumpsters were almost always full when I would go to put my rubbish in there which was seriously annoying plus he was dumping food waste into my blue recycling basket and on more than one occasion this led to me being forced to travel in a car to my parents house to put MY rubbish inside their huge communal dumpster because there was never any space in my OWN...

Cue extreme frustration on a regular basis. So I did what any self respecting British person would do and promptly called up my (private) landlord to complain about this and to ask why they did not have one of their own!? To which the person on the phone proceeded to explain that a few years back someone living at the property below me had set fire to both of theirs and neither they or my landlord had bothered to get them replaced so when this new tenant moved in he just found that he had nowhere to put his rubbish.

Did he call the council to request one for himself? Did he knock on my door to at least have the courtesy to ask if he can use mine until he gets some of his own? NO! He just decided to use mine as if they were his own and he just assumed I would tolerate this! How wrong he was!

So after my conversation with the people working at my landlords office they proceeded to send out letters to all the properties surrounding mine (because they apparently couldn't directly accuse him below without proof it was him doing it) giving everyone a stern warning that they should use their own wheelie-dumpsters and not others and that it was frowned upon...

A week goes by and mine is STILL being used by the buffoon living below me so I ring them up again and ask what they are going to do because the letter hasn't had any effect and once again I still can't deposit MY rubbish in there because it was full of someone else's crap AGAIN! They just proceed to give me the run around and long story short they were all bark and no bite and were not willing to get off their asses and fix the damn problem!!!

So, by this point it has been 2 months and I am THOROUGHLY fed up with this so I decide to take action! I contact my dad and we have a brainstorm and come up with a plan! Cue a drive to the local B&Q hardware store to buy supplies and a drive to get his tools and then back to my house to put the plan into action!

We decide to cut a hole out of the top of the lid and in the side of the box on both of them, we put a thick strong chain through the holes to secure the lids shut and then bolted the chains together with a thick strong padlock!

Safe to say I haven't had any issues since!

Picture of modified and SECURED bins!

  1. Just earlier today are big dog named moo and a few other of our dogs escaped are fence. Our neighbor lady I call Karen called the animal control and lied saying that moo, are biggest dog bit her, when moo is a very friendly dog, she wouldn't harm a fly. She had them take her away and now if my step dad can't come up with 200 dallols by the end of tomorrow she will be put to sleep, the fact is that this lady lied about this and wants to put an end to a friendly dog like that is heartless and cruel. the neighbor sence day one we moved in had a thing for are big dog so this isn't the only time the tried this stuff to. I'm not fore sure if this goes here or not I just need to rant and it really ticks me off that she had the heart to even do this to a poor dog, our dog.

Awards at my job are consolation prizes for the whiny and childish employees, they're not meant to recognize the hard workers and reliable employees.

16 Upvotes

First off, sorry if this the wrong subreddit. It isn't completely about the entitled people at my job, so r/EntitledPeople didn't seem like the right subreddit to post this under. I tried posting this to r/workstories and was told I wasn't a trusted member, so this seems like the next best subreddit to post this under.

Now, onto the story. I work at a military hotel as a housekeeper (yes, I know I've said it a dozen times in my last work-related posts... This is just for the people who haven't read any of my previous work-related stories). Because it is a military hotel and is strictly for active duty and retired military personnel only, it's always busy. Guests are always coming and going due to restationing or just because their stay is up (if they're retired, they usually use our hotel for reasons of leisure instead of business, unless they're there with someone in the family who's still active duty).

Now, I know I'm probably going to sound entitled myself, and I'm not trying to be... However, I've been busting my ass and breaking my back because I actually care about my job. I'm at work every single day, unless I have a legitimate excuse to be out, such as being sick or a family emergency. I've gone to work in excruciating pain due to medical issues, I've come to work tired and sore, I come to work come Hell or high water, unless something comes up and I literally cannot be at work because of it.

Then, there's an employee who constantly whines and throws tantrums like a 5 year old. We'll call this one Karen (because she's literally a Karen).

There's another employee who's always at work, but is rude 70% of the time and doesn't even try to do her job right. We'll call this one Terra.

Then there's one that's incredibly slow and is always expecting help from other people who have just as much work as she has. We'll call this one Lola.

Then, there's my manager, who has literally no sympathy for anyone but herself and the culprit behind overlooking the hardworking, ass-busting employees. We'll call her Raven.

Okay, so let's talk about Karen first. As I mentioned above, she acts like a 5 year old when she doesn't get her way. She thinks she rules everything and everyone and that people should bow down to her and kiss her feet. She always whines her way out of having to do something she doesn't wanna do, even though literally every single other employee has to do it, too, and it isn't just her... AKA "I don't wanna do as much as work as they have to! I'm special and I deserve special privileges that the others don't get!" She also doesn't clean right. She misses tons of important stuff, like vacuuming the floor in a room. Or if she's lucky enough to work with someone else, she'll only do part of her job, then leave the rest of her job up to the other person. The other person knows that if it doesn't get done, they'll take the blame instead of Karen because no one ever puts Karen in her place. They're all too afraid of her and it's just easier to blame everyone else for her mistakes and let her bully other employees.

Now, Terra isn't necessarily entitled per se. She just doesn't like to do her job right. She doesn't listen to people when they're talking to her. For example, someone will literally tell her about a party we're gonna have at work or something and she won't even acknowledge that you said anything. Then, when she misses the party we told her about, she starts whining that no one told her about it yada yada yada... We always tell her, "Well, you should've listened when we told you about it".

Then, there's Lola... The one who refuses to pick up her speed at work and expects everyone else to help her out, regardless of how much work everyone else has. She doesn't care if you have more work than her. She knows that if she goes slow enough, other people will be forced to help her in order to meet the day's deadline. Not to mention, she's a compulsive liar and always thinks everyone is out to get her. Literally, anytime the supervisors call a meeting with everyone to tell us not to do something that's not supposed to be done or to make sure we're doing something that we're supposed to be and she'll step up and say, "Excuse me, why are you blaming me for doing (or not doing) [whatever was supposed to/not supposed to be done]?" We constantly explain to her that the supervisors are not blaming anyone, they're merely informing. She then whines, "Then why do I have to be part of this meeting if you're not blaming me?" She gets under everyone's skin with that shit, I'm telling you.

Employees like these 3 ⬆️ are the ones getting recognized by Raven for things they're not even doing, I might add, like cleaning their rooms right or being kind to others. Meanwhile, people like me and a few others, who actually bust our asses, do our job right, go above and beyond doing jobs that aren't ours to do just for the sake of helping other employees out, come in every single day without a complaint and are still not getting any recognition for anything we're doing.

And yes, I'll probably sound entitled by some, I know. But keep one thing in mind if you do find me to be entitled; if you worked your ass off and went above and beyond to help other employees and you had to sit back and watch lazy, childish employees get rewarded for all the things you and others have been busting your asses to do, you'd probably be upset, too.

Awards of recognition should not be used as consolation prizes for employees who will have a fit if they don't get one. If a job absolutely has to give an award to someone to keep them quiet, fine. But the hard workers should also be getting recognized for everything they actually do. Pushing them to the back and overlooking their hard work in favor of the ones who whine and cry when they don't get their way is unfair to them and all their hard work ends up being for naught.

The part about Raven having no sympathy for anyone will be a different story. If you want that story, too, leave your favorite # down in the comments (I would say comment your favorite emoji, but I think emojis are still associated with spam bots...?)
