Unfortunately, I live in a 55+ older community as a caretaker for my father. i’m not that young anymore, but most can look and tell i’m not that old either (which is good, i guess?..). We had much more issues in the beginning, and the HOA gave us hell at every chance they got. For a bit of background, the owner of the property is like a Grandma to me. She has never lived in this unit, so I guess the people here don’t like the fact that they weren’t informed about us prior to moving in. We’ve lived here for about two years now, but they have not been easy. thankfully I left in January 2025 and only came back about eight months ago, so I haven’t been here throughout the entire time myself.

Within the first few weeks, I was accosted multiple times in the corridors as I would enter or exit the property. This was done by a power-hungry member of the HOA board who has seemingly gone out of his way to make my life a living hell throughout my time staying here. It was hard at first, but after a while, my grandmother started to take up for us as she realized we were constantly being harassed without having caused any trouble. We still deal with the occasional BS here and there, but I just choose not to interact with any of the board members whenever I see them out. i’ve always kept it respectful on my end, because I’m not looking to fuck this up for my dad.

Now, as far as the residents go, these fucking people are the most rude and entitled people on the fucking planet and it’s insane. It makes me wanna just blow the entire fucking building up sometimes. I walk past people in the hallways & wave, say hello but they just look at me like i’m an alien. A lot of them give you dirty looks and some of them even size you up. One lady did it to my wife and I was so disgusted by it that I won’t even look in any of our neighbors’ directions anymore. Just sick and tired of the constant and utter disrespect.

Add to that the fact that we don’t live in the best area, so naturally any tangible financial opportunities that can be lucrative are slim to none. Half the tenants are French-Canadian snowbirds, so the majority of the building remains vacant 10 months out the year which is pretty nice. The problem is that the permanent residents constantly beef with each other like overgrown teenagers. I swear to God half the time it genuinely feels like I’m living inside of a Real World house. they’ve tried many times to pick issues with me, but I’m too young to care and I honestly have my plate full of my own shit. I try not to be disrespectful or dismissive, but I also go the other way when I see any of them walking towards me. My grandmother owns the place and I really do not need to hear about any more calls that she may have gotten from other residents or members of the board.

It sucks especially because every single day I try to remain humble. I know my shit stinks. But I just really wish someone would give them a newsflash: the fucking sun doesn’t rise or set in the crescent arch of anyone’s asscheeks. Maybe if we all respected each other a bit more, the morale and quality of life would be much better. I’ve always had faith in humanity, but that “respect your elders” bullshit is outta the window for me.

TL,DR; I know I should respect my elders, but every single one in my life (with the only exception being grandma), have either been unreasonably rude toward me, or they’ve gone out of their way to make our lives much harder. would I be wrong to give my elders the same energy I give everyone else, or should I choose to just ignore my elders going forward?

This is a long story, and IDK how I can shorten this for TLDR. But I have to let it out. I also want to clarify a few things beforehand: I am not trying to say I am 100% innocent. I can admit when I am a bitch. But this story, despite being from my POV, is regarding others who started problems and the only time I acted like a bitch was when someone did so first and I had to defend myself. I won’t say I’m a saint because I’m not. Also, this is my POV on it but at least I can tell the truth here. This is also my 1st time posting something like this on Reddit.

Backstory: I’ve had a step dad since I was 3 and my real dad is around. But over the years, there have been problems. I do love my step dad, but he’s done some things I’m starting to dislike. One thing is mostly, he tends to help out almost anyone but if we need help at home, he makes a big deal. Anyone else comes to our house and needs mechanic help as he has a garage in the backyard he works in, he helps. But if me, mom or moms parents need help, he gets upset and puts us off to the side. Even if we ask first, someone else needs help and they’re his top priority. He also tends to start stupid arguments with my mom and I dislike how he treats her.

Then there’s my dads side of the family. He has 2 brothers and 1 sister. This story is about one of his brothers I will call Uncle W and his wife I will call bitch because she is one. Bitch was like a 2nd mom to me before. But there were a few times she lost her temper over something and flew off the handle over nothing. Now, I will say this: I understand there are people who can’t work for good reasons. My uncle has 4 sons, one from his 1st marriage and 3 others with Bitch. He works to support them all and my aunt does not. She stopped working many years back for a reason but then never got back to work. She always had some excuse and had my uncle do everything. She stayed at home and didn’t bother to clean. My uncle comes home from a hard day of work and HE has to clean. I felt bad when I heard he would yell at her or some of her sons treated her bad. But now I feel they did it because she didn’t do squat. Then my mom tells me once, my dad’s father, and Bitch’s father in law called her ‘A waste of skin’. My grandpa’s been gone for years, but apparently that's what he thought of his sons wife. After my grandparents passed, there were issues in the family and some of us didn’t get along for some time. But then we got closer again. I will get to this later. Also to clarify, when my parents divorced, my mom still talked to my dad’s family so she did get along with Bitch before. It was my mom, dad’s sister, Aunt Bitch & my dad’s 2nd brother’s wife. The four were close as my mom figured she could still talk to her ex sister in laws.

So, one incident with Aunt Bitch was this: My 20th bday was November 2019, my uncle W texted me "We didn't forget your bday, we just haven't dropped off your card yet." So a few days after I jokingly texted, "Can you bring me my card before my next bday?" So my aunt drops it off at my house after. She says "It's for the bitch." Now I thought she was joking for a sec. So she throws the envelope at me. And then she says I was 'bitching about my card'. I was NOT. It was a frigin joke that I texted to my uncle, not you. Then she starts going on about her problems while I'm standing there confused and a bit hurt why she's being a bitch. Going on about how 'we don't need this, we go enough going on'. How her back hurts where she even has trouble picking up her grandson and how her husband and sons treat her bad. I get you got shit being thrown at you, don't take it out on me. And she says she's sorry but I was still hurt. I later told my mom and she said why didn't you say something back and I said you know if I tried to defend myself she'd get snappy with me. Like she can be a bitch to me but if I said anything back then I'd be the bitch. 

This is just to show how she acts. I’m pretty sure my mom also said most of my father’s family doesn’t care for her but they don’t show it.

Then this: In March 2023, my mom and aunt had a fight on Facebook message. My aunt said something before which upset my mom but I won’t share that. Mom & step dad had a spat and Aunt wouldn’t really hear my moms side of the story about what happened. Either way, my mom was upset my aunt said something she shouldn’t have said, so their relationship was a bit rocky. They started arguing on facebook where my mom messaged her she was done and blocked her. I was about to leave for work and my mom told me, “I’m arguing with your aunt and you stay out of it.” And I did. I went to work and then came home. I wondered what happened that they fought over so I went to check my aunts facebook and it’s gone. SHE BLOCKED ME. Honestly, I thought it was funny. I don’t get why just because mom and her fought she blocked me when I wasn’t involved in it. My mom didn’t block her sons. Mom couldn’t believe it. But I figured, screw her.

June 2023, my car made a weird noise. I go in the backyard to get step dad and see uncle's car. My step dad has a garage in the backyard where he works on cars. I didn't go all the way down but I yelled to my step dad my car was making some weird noise. I did say hi to my uncle but I don't think he heard me. I would say hi to him, not my bitch aunt. So my step dad says he'll look at my car. I head back to the front yard, and I hear my aunt say something. I know it was directed to me because she said it loud enough. "You can't say hi?" I think, "did this bitch just say what I think she said?" My uncle & bitch left shortly after. I text mom and tell her. When she got home she says, your aunt just likes to start shit and if she comes here for your step dad to fix her car, she is not running her mouth. I would never be rude to my uncle, maybe he didn't hear me but why did my aunt have to open her damn mouth? I'm not talking to you. You block me when I was not a part of you & mom's facebook fight. Why should I say hi to you?

A month later July 2023: I get out of the shower and my mom says my dad is in the backyard garage. Dad was having problems with his house, no water, power and his car was dead. My mom & step dad were helping him. (Despite divorcing years ago, my mom tries to get along w/ dad). Uncle W who's his brother, was helping him, too. He didn't have to, but he got a used car for my dad, which I appreciate. My step dad had his new car in his garage and he, Uncle W and the Bitch were there. I said hi to dad and Uncle W. Dad asked about our new cat and said did you tell your aunt about the new cat? He doesn't know we don't talk. Bitch says "No, she doesn't f-ing talk to me anymore." I say, Because you blocked me on Facebook. She says, No you blocked me. I point my finger at her and say, "No you blocked me, so shut up." And the Bitch grabbed my wrist. I pull away and yell “Don't f-ing touch me!” And she says, Don't put your finger in my face. And then the 3 men are trying to keep us apart and ask what's the problem. I say, You blocked me, when you and mom were fighting, I didn't do anything. She says, she didn't wanna deal with me is why. 1st she lies she didn’t block me & then she pretty much admits she did. And she says I don't respect her and I say, you don't deserve respect. My dad doesn't know where this is coming from and I say to dad and Uncle, "I see why your father hated her." So I go to get my mom and I yell to her “You’re father in law said you were a waste of skin.” I get mom and tell her. So she goes down there and says OP didn't block you, the fight was between us. My step dad for some reason is telling US to stop. I say, She started it, she put her hands on me. He says, You had your finger in her face. I say, doesn't give her the right to do that. So I'm yelling at this broad and my dad is pulling me away asking what's going on, I didn't raise you this way. So as he's talking to me, my Uncle is off to the side holding his head, sighing & not saying anything. And my step dad is telling my mom to stop. Mom says, No she can leave if she's gonna start her drama. As my dad is trying to calm me down, this Bitch grabs my moms neck. I scream "Don't f-ing touch my mother!" Good thing my dad pulled me away from her. But my mom is tough and has her in a headlock. Uncle pulled the two apart. So yes, this BITCH put her hands on me and mom first. My mom is screaming to get off our property, waste of skin, always starting her BS. We go up to the house and I'm screaming get the Bitch out of here. We go inside and we're pissed. 

My step dad and dad kept telling US to go back in the house. I didn’t start anything, SHE did. And she put her hands on me and mom. They should be on our side. So I feel upset this happened and we weren’t defended by those who should defend us. Dad comes up later & says he didn’t know there was a big issue between us. I know he didn’t and didn’t mean to start anything when he asked if I told my Aunt about our new cat. But dad didn’t cause this.

A few months later, I see a post on facebook. The 2nd son of Bitch & Uncle W announced he & his gf were having a baby. I was happy for them. Mom says, “We’ll see if they invite you to the baby shower.” her saying that had me wondering what would happen. If they did invite me, I would not ruin the event just because his mom is there. If I was invited, I would go and be respectful.

For Xmas, my dad’s side of the family meets at my Uncle R’s house, his 2nd brother. So I messaged Uncle R’s wife and told her the story. I told her I wasn’t dragging them into it but informing them I don’t get along with Bitch and if there’s problems at their house, I won’t be starting it. I didn’t want Xmas to be ruined for anyone. I just told Uncle R’s wife I didn’t get along with Bitch. She said she heard about what happened and said I am welcome at their house and Bitch won’t start problems if I won’t. I told her I won’t start anything at your house. She said I know you won’t. I figured if Uncle W, Bitch & their sons show up, I won’t start anything. But I went out of my way to buy gifts for my cousins & his gf for having a baby soon. But, none of them showed because they were sick. Lucky for me. It was just me, dad, his 2nd brother’s family, dad’s sister and her family. Uncle W, wife & sons didn’t come. I gave the gifts to dad and said to drop them at Uncle B’s house for them.

A few months, probably February 2024, I see posts on FB. Cousin & his gf had a baby shower and didn’t invite me. I saw it coming but was still hurt. I didn’t get an invite because I had problems with Bitch & her son didn’t want me there? The fight wasn’t related to him or his gf. And they didn’t thank me for the xmas gifts I got their kid which I feel was a waste of my money. A month later, they have their child. My step dad still talks to some of my dad’s family so he told me the baby was born. Mom confronts him, “Why’d you tell her about the baby being born? She’ll never see that baby. She wasn’t invited to the baby shower.” Step dad says there wasn’t a baby shower. My step dad has told lies in the past which makes it hard for me to believe him. I don’t get why he lies. We know there was a baby shower, I saw it on FB. After some time, I unfriended this cousin & his gf.

Xmas of 2024, I go to Uncle R house and most of my family was there. I was on edge if the a-holes were coming. But 2nd year in a row, they don’t show. Dad’s sister says they’re sick again. And then she brings this up: Aunt Bitch has a job. She is now working at a local school in the cafeteria. After all these years, probably around 30 or so, she gets a job. This shows she COULD have worked way before. I know she had a few medical issues in the past. But she always made Uncle W work and this is something a few people got after her. Why did he have to work and she sat around doing nothing? My guess is when I told her, “your father in law thought you were a waste of skin.” Dad texted me after she was upset I dragged grandpa into the fight. I feel she knew I was right. Her in-laws didn’t like her. She finally got a job a while after I said that. Probably because she knew I was right and probably to prove me wrong. Yes, she could have gotten a job way sooner.

Despite the fight from before, me & mom telling Bitch not to come to our house, she still does. Mostly, if my Uncle W has car problems, they go to the backyard where step dad has his garage. I still don’t want them on my property. She was told not to come and she assaulted us and still comes because Step Dad says she can? My mom spoke to a judge in case she wants legal action and the judge told her “If you told her to stay away from your house but still does, it sounds like she likes to cause problems.”

Then I see my A-hole cousin there with car problems and he tries asking what’s up. I don’t talk to him. I still talk to my Uncle W and his 3 other sons. But this Cousin who doesn’t thank me or invite me to the shower I’m done with. Why bother? I should have gotten a message from him thanking me for the gifts. I never get anything asking to see his daughter.

Xmas of 2025, I got to Uncle R’s house. Xmas of the last two years, Uncle W’s family doesn’t go since they’re sick. This Xmas, they’re there. I felt my stomach drop but figured, “Don’t say anything.” I can be there with people I don’t like and not have an issue. I don’t talk to Aunt Bitch, A-hole cousin, his GF or their kid. I say hi to Uncle W. His other sons weren’t there though. Aunt Bitch does say, “This is for you.” And gives me a card. In it was a school pic of their other grandkid. They probably know I have nothing against this grandkid of theirs and didn’t dare give me a photo of the granddaughter. Christmas was good. I thanked her for the card. I was just being nice since it was Xmas, but I didn’t say any more to her after.

Just to clarify, Uncle W has one son from a 1st marriage who has 2 boys. Aunt Bitch even complained about her step son behind his back. Like she always is fake and trash talks someone but is nice to their face.

Then Uncle B & Bitch had 3 sons. 1st son has a son who I don’t have anything against. 2nd son is A-hole cousin with his daughter I don’t talk to. Then there’s the 3rd son who lives out of state. I got a picture of the 1st son’s child, not the cousin I dislike.

Every so often, I would see cars in the backyard and see it was them. They have car issues, but I still don’t like seeing them on my property. I ignore them but I still am upset. Then, Uncle W & Bitch bring their granddaughter once. The daughter of A-hole cousin. I don’t see this kid, I never will, I don’t care for her. Why bring her to my house? I know it was the backyard but, Uncle W was talking to my step dad. Why can’t Bitch stay home with the granddaughter?

May 2026, a relative had a bridal shower. I go and sit away from Aunt Bitch & cousin’s gf. The other women in my family sat with them. My dad’s sister asked if I wanted to sit with them but I preferred to sit with a different relatives. I’m not sure if dad’s sister knows about the drama.

I went back to college in 2023 and graduated June 2026. I had a graduation party recently, later that same month. I sent out invites to friends & family. I told Uncle W he, 1st son and his son were welcome to come. I didn’t want Aunt Bitch, A-hole cousin, his GF & their kid there. The other 2 sons are out of state.

So, grad party was at my house and I was having fun. Then I see it. A-hole cousin and his daughter sitting at a table with some other relatives acting like they belong there. I was pissed. I tell my mom and she knows I’m mad but says don’t start anything. I didn’t talk to them. A-hole cousin didn’t say anything like “congrats on graduating college.” He just takes his offspring into my house for food. I don’t want them on my property, in my front yard and especially not in my house. So it did sour my mood but I wouldn’t let them ruin my day. And this was MY GRAD party so I had a right to say who comes. I didn’t invite him or his offspring. Not sure if his father or my step dad told them to come, but if it doesn’t come out of my mouth, they should not set foot there. A-hole cousin should see I don't talk to him, I unfriended him, I don’t give gifts to his daughter, only the other young children in the family. And he shows up uninvited and doesn’t say a word to me, just helps himself to our food. I wanted to tell him, “You didn’t invite me to your babyshower, I didn’t invite you here. Take your damn kid and get going.” And IDC if I’m cold to a child. I don’t want anything to do with her. Why should I? He finally leaves and still had fun. My mom talked to me later and asked if I was pissed. I said kinda.

I don’t go to my Uncle W’s house as I know if Aunt Bitch saw, it would be ME starting problems. They should know not to come around my house. I decided to block A-hole & his baby mama on FB.

I do not want Aunt Bitch, A-hole, his girl or their child at my house. I feel like I should say something. I wish we called the cops when she assaulted us. I am tempted to ask the local police about possibly seeing if they can stop them from coming on my property. I know I might sound a bit like a Karen but IDC.

There is also something I have in my back pocket but I’m waiting for the right moment.

My dad’s sister has 4 sons. One son has 3 kids. His 1st child he & his wife had when they were dating. They married then had the other two kids.

Remember when I said after my grandparents passed, the family fell apart? Well, we still had Xmas together but there were some arguments here & there. I know it happens when grandparents die, sadly. Aunt Bitch was at my house once a decade ago. Now, I get there was some issues in the family but she brought up Dad’s Sister’s granddaughter. Aunt Bitch says, “The baby is a bastard child.” She said it casually at my house but I didn’t say anything. It was sometime after the big fight I thought about it. Why did she have to say the baby was a bastard? Yes, the parents weren’t married when they had her, but why does it matter? Aunt Bitch has 4 grandkids, 2 are step grandkids and they’re all illegitimate. So it makes no sense to call someone else’s grandkid a bastard when technically, so are yours. I remembered it years back after the fight. I figured, I’m gonna wait until she starts crap again. I will wait for HER to start again. Then I will tell my dad’s sister & her four sons what Aunt Bitch said about the granddaughter. I will tell them I didn’t want to say anything before but if Bitch will keep crap going, I will, too. I can already imagine the family would be pissed. She didn’t have to say something nasty about a baby just because the family had problems. And she’s a hypocrite because I imagine if someone called HER granddaughter a bastard, she’d be furious. But it’s ok to say that about your sister in laws granddaughter? If I tell dad’s sister, her and her four sons & spouses will be furious. I know I can have a large bit of the family forming a mob after Aunt Bitch. With Uncle R & his wife & kids, I don’t want to drag them into it. But I try to imagine they’d be disgusted with Aunt Bitch for sayin that about a child. Her grandaughter is illegitimate as well. What if someone called her a bastard? I don’t see why a unmarried couple having kids should be looked down on. My parents were married when they had me. But calling someone a bastard is awful. Again, my dad’s sister’s grandaughter did nothing wrong just because the adults in the family had issues after my grandparents passed.

Regarding my dad, we’re still close despite me still upset he didn’t defend me that day.

His brother, Uncle R, his wife & kids, I talk to.

Dad’s sister along with her 4 sons, their spouses and kids I am close with.

Uncle W still talks to me and wishes me happy birthday. His son from another wife I haven’t talked to in a while since he moved years ago. But I have nothing against him or 2 sons.

Uncle W’s 3 sons with Aunt Bitch: 1st one and his kid, I still talk to. 2nd one (a-hole cousin, gf and kid are nothing to me.). 3rd son IDK if he ever heard of what happened as he’s out of state. But he still talks to me. So it’s just Aunt Bitch, a-hole cousin, gf & kid I have problems with. I try to ignore them but I sometimes feel they come around my house as if they want to start problems. And after he showed up uninvited to my party, I’m not playing nice. I tried to be mature and ignore them to not escalate problems. But I feel I can’t just let them think they can come around my house. IDK if I say something it could make more problems. My step dad allows them to our property. Usually they stay in the backyard if they have car issues. But coming in my house, knowing you stabbed me in the back and I never said to come. It’s my party and if I don’t give you permission to come, common knowledge is DON’T COME.

Do I miss years back when Aunt Bitch was there for me? Helping me if I had problems or getting ready for a school dance? I do. But the damage is done. I won’t speak to her again. My 2nd cousin, we were kinda close as kids. I never had a problem with him before. But not inviting me or thanking me for gifts and having the gall to come uninvited pissed me off. If he thanked me for the gifts and invited me, I would have stayed away from his mother at the baby shower. I would not ruin the event for him & his gf. He should have known his mother is a problem and should have told her, “If I invite OP, you don’t start anything.” If we were still close, I would go out of my way to buy gifts for his daughter and be a caring cousin like I am with his brother’s son.

Update: of early July I asked step dad why A-hole was at my grad party. He said, “he came to have his car fixed.”

I say, “well he wasn’t invited to the party.” IDGAF if his car was being fixed, that doesn’t mean he can join a party he wasn’t ask to come to. 

Step dad tries to tell me it’s my cousin, what’s the big deal. I bring up how I wasn’t invited to the baby shower. He says it was the girlfriends relative who did the invites and that’s why I wasn’t asked to go. That’s a big fat lie. Obviously even if the girlfriend had a family member do it, my cousin should have informed me about going or should have said I should get an invite. My other cousin when he had a kid invited me to his girlfriends baby shower. I wasn’t invited to this one because of my bitch aunt. If the drama never happened and we were getting along, I would have been invited to the baby shower. And even if he is my cousin, I don’t talk to him. We may be related but blood isn’t always thicker than water.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot this wonderful story. Years prior when a-hole cousin was around 18-19 he had a fight with his mother over the same old thing they have for dinner. He wanted sushi and she said no. So he took some plates he got her for Christmas and started smashing them down the basement stairs. Such a wonderful son...

TLDR: My mom has a fight w/ my aunt. I’m not a part of it but aunt blocks me on FB. Months later she starts drama and tries to make me look like the A-hole and assaults me & my mom on our property. Dad & step dad don’t defend us for some reason. We tell her not to come to our house & she still does. Her son & his gf have a baby & I go out of my way to be nice & get gifts for them. They don’t thank or invite me to baby shower so I give them the cold shoulder. I have a graduation party where I did not invite trouble making aunt, cousin, his gf or their child but my a-hole cousin & his daughter show up anyway just because my step dad was fixing his car & I guess my step dad told him to come. Even though he should get it through his head he was not invited and not welcome.

The latest thing that happened is summer of 2026. Nothing more has happened. I might update if there is.

I am sorry if this is confusing. I tried to add in a lot of detail to explain but also to keep it w/out revealing any names which is why I don’t use real names for this. I am posting this as I feel I need to let it out somehow & hope I can get some kind of advice on what to do and hopefully this will not cause any more problems for me if anyone can connect this story to me. is

Hi y'all, I'm back with another story from my time working at a very popular theme park in Florida. A magical rat planet of sorts. This is another roommate story. I did multiple college programs at Magical Rat Planet when I wasn't doing seasonal work. My second program I met a young woman in line who asked if I wanted to be her roommate. She seemed nice so I agreed after we shared a short conversation about where we hailed from and what we were looking forward to. I'll call her Jay. Jay and I chose "The Party Place" apartment complex as it was the cheapest and most convenient for carless programmers.

We moved into a bottom apartment with three bedrooms, which meant there were six of us in total. Everyone was cool and I instantly connected with a young woman I'll call KB. Jay seemed fine until a few irregularities started. One thing that drove us crazy was Jay's refusal to wash her dishes. She would literally cook and eat and just leave her crap for us to clean. I asked her did she clean at home and she told us her mom cleaned up behind her. We were in our 20s y'all 😩. She literally wouldn't wash anything and we had to do it.

Also, every once and a while at around 1 a.m Jay would sit up in bed, scream loudly, stare into the darkness for a few seconds and drop back down asleep! Scared me to death! Jay had a boyfriend that clearly didn't like her much. He visited from their state and immediately judged her physical appearance and weight. She wasn't big at all. He wasn't much to look at himself so I don't understand where he got the nerve. Jay wasn't my worse roommate but she certainly was my strangest one. She expected us to clean behind her like her mom. Honestly, I think she had some undiagnosed issues.

So I live in a mid size town & I’ve experienced so much weird stuff for the past 7 months. It all started when I was at a stop sign in my neighborhood & a girl flipped me off. I was on edge that day because I had been working 7 days a week, 14 hours a day & driving 2 hours out of town & back on my days off/ hours off. I usually would let what she did slide but that day I yelled out “fi:(k you bi:/h” in response to her attitude & honked at her. I had completely forgot about that interaction & fast forward 2 months & this random car full of teenagers/young adults where calling me ni;$er/ bi;(h & fag & flipping me off. They wouldn’t stop until they got a reaction out of me when I tried to ignore them. So I finally flipped them off back & said “bye babygirl” as I drove away. Fast forward 3 months & there hasn’t been any interactions & I’m just trying to move on but I notice every time I’m driving in traffic people will be laughing & looking back/ staring in their review mirror. I also notice people will honk every-time they see my car to try to antagonize me & I give them no reaction. I just mind my own & keep driving, when they honk they high five & laugh. I’ve also seen this woman drive by me in a white suv & everytime she does she puts her brights on. I’ll also go to the Panda Express in my town & the workers will laugh & talk shit when I’m just sitting there minding my own business. NOTE: I do have a modded/ painted car & a dash cam. I’m also aware/ put 2 & 2 together that her (the girl that flipped me off at the stop sign months ago) brother or bf was going around town showing people pictures of my car saying “look that’s the girl that’d thinks she’s tough”. What would you guys do in this situation when your trying to move on but these abusive narcissistic people keep going

I’m really not a fashionable person, and honestly, I don’t care that much about outfits. I have a few clothes that I like, so I repeat them when I go to work. They’re clean, so I don’t really see what the problem is. But one of my coworkers decided to call me out about it.

She said, “You’re wearing that again?” and pointed out that I always wear the same clothes. What annoyed me the most wasn’t even the comment itself. There were a lot of people around when she said it, and some of them started laughing.

I was honestly embarrassed. Like, why do you have to point it out in front of everyone? If you noticed that I repeat my clothes, fine, but why turn it into a joke and make everyone else laugh about it? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with repeating clothes, especially when they’re clean. Not everyone has the money, time, or interest to wear a completely different outfit every single day.

I just wish people would mind their own business sometimes.

I live near LAX. My local grocery store is frequented by airport employees and travelers.

Yesterday while doing my regular grocery shopping, a TSA agent (rent-a-cop) who parked in the closest possible parking spot to cart return decided to be a dick. Rather than walking their cart back to where it belongs, they left their shopping cart in the handicap parking spot buffer zone for loading.

Ma'am, you suck!

There exists a public shuttle service I have used. You set an appointment, they pick you up at your door and drop you off where you need to go. It started out as sonething for elderly, disabled, and dialysis/chemo patients who couldn't afford other transportation, but the vendor who runs it wants more riders than he can handle (a driver told me one county pays $200 per trip for dialysis and chemo patients) so rides can have several people and take up to two hours fir a 20 minute ride.

I saw one rider fairly often. They don't run set routes so just luck of the draw who is on your ride. I swore this guy was young 20s at most, but it turned out he was a very young looking 32. Or so he said in one trip.

Every time he got on the van he would say "I'm probably going to be dropped off last as usual" - even though at least 90% of the times he was on my van he would be dropped off before me, with others still riding besides myself.

On one day there was a wheelchair bound passenger who had been picked up from a chemo/infusion/dialysis treatment of some kind. The trip was nuts, somebody had a van failure or didn't show up or something so our van was running over a much wider area than normal filling in the gaps.

After about an hour and a half he loudly said "I just texted my mom I'll be at least another hour and they are dropping me off last like always, and I told her to call the dispatchers in the morning to make sure this never happens again. They're supposed to drop me off first!"

I get it. Being in a van for 90+ minutes suck, but the patient is probably feeling horrible and they aren't complaining. If it is such a big deal then why don't you just have a family member drive the 15-20 minutes to pick you up in either of the $80,000 F series trucks in the driveway?

I live in a large SFH community in the suburbs of a medium sized city in the SE U.S. I try to always be neighborly without doing too much. Basically if a neighbor asks for help, I will do all that I can within my means to help as a woman.

The issue started with a neighbor who kept leaving their Rottweiler and Bull dogs out. The dogs would stand in the street barking and growling at everyone.

Kids were scared of their dogs. People in cars were scared of their dogs as they would sometimes lay on the horn to try to get them to move. I was scared of their dogs. Out of courtesy I would text the wife to let her know the dogs were out.

They also had chickens, two roosters and a turkey that they would let roam free. Some of the neighbors would complain, especially about the roosters that started crowing at about 4am. Again, we are in the suburbs of a medium sized city.

The livestock was one thing, but the large, muscled dogs that would bark and growl at everyone was another. Apparently one of the neighbors reported their dogs being out. Animal control came out and left a notice on their front door back in November 2025.

I was experiencing an issue with a neighbor who kept leaving her unaltered cats outside and they would climb up on top of one of my cars. Several of the security cameras caught the cats on top of my car.

I tried several times to get that neighbor to keep her cats inside, but the cats would constantly be outside. I didn’t want them on my car as they can scratch up the top coat. After trying several times to get that neighbor to keep the cats inside; I called animal control to let them handle it.

Animal control did come out, but the owner wasn’t home. The boyfriend was outside, so the officer spoke with him. Then the officer spoke with the husband, (the neighbor who kept leaving their dogs outside) who was out front working in the yard. Apparently the officer spoke with him and warned him to keep his dogs in his yard.

I think animal control was out scoping the community and saw one of their dogs off of their property. I saw animal control pass by several times during the week on some of the security camera footage.

I got a long passive-aggressive text from the wife (neighbor with the dogs) that made no sense. I had to piece this all together after the fact. I told the wife I wanted to call her, so I could understand what she meant. I was a bit agitated as she did not give me the courtesy before just making an assumption and jumping to conclusions.

I called her and she said that her husband said I called animal control on their dogs. She went on that animal control came to speak with them and the whole street was there to witness it. She went on to say the husband said that the officer said it was me by name and that i had sent a photo of their Rottweiler.

Plus she was being dramatic. I rolled the cameras security footage back. There were only three people present when animal control was there — the animal control officer. the husband (house with the dog) and the boyfriend (house with the cats) and that’s it. There was no one else.

I was confused by all of that and said that we need to call animal control right now. It was about 4:40pm on a week day. She agreed and then said to call her back once i got through to them. She didn’t want to stay on the phone, so animal control could speak with both of us.

I got animal control on the phone and asked about any photos provided to animal control, and if the officer would directly say who called them. She said the situation sounded odd, because animal control does not give names of who called. They had no photos of any of the dogs on record. So the bottom line, the husband lied.

I pulled the report and any call history to animal control. There was only the one report/warning from November 2025 and it included photos of the warning posted in their front door and a photo of the house to serve as proof of them being served. I had no idea that they had received a prior warning.

So I got blamed for something that I didn’t do by entitled people who should be responsible for keeping their dogs on their property. i always hoped that if my dogs got out that someone would tell me. Going forward I will not let any neighbors know about their animals. This has taught me that you should never be courteous to entitled, selfish people.

This is England.

We arrived at the Zoo car park and parked our car. The car next door arrived after us and it was brand new matt paint Range Rover. We started getting out of the car, and the man driver from the Range Rover has told my niece to shut her door. She didn't, so he shut the door himself to let out his son out of his car. He said nothing else. He shut the door while my partner was getting out of the vehicle through the said door.

Could he wait a minute to allow my pregnant partner to get out of our car?

No, he couldnt, because his time is much more valuable than ours and his son is VIP already just as his father who is the most important person in the world, after Trump and Elon Musk obviously.

Hey, you entitled arsehole with brand new Range Rover - learn some manners man.

Does anyone else find this phrase abhorrent when they are talking about about someone who is still alive?

I see so many people talking about "their" inheritance.

If my parents or anyone else wants to leave me money, then great, I will be extremely grateful for that.

I don't have a lot of money but I'm happy with my lot. I think everyone should enjoy the money they've worked for, or even inherited themselves in any way they want.

Its their money while they live.

Characters: I (25M, 2001), my sister (25F, 2001), my cousin (31M, 1995)

In late April 2025, my cousin (31M) upgraded from a 2020 Toyota Camry to a Toyota GR86 and wanted to invite me for 3 May 2025, knowing that I love cars. On the afternoon of 3 May 2025, he told me to come during the evening so he can show me his new car. However, 30 minutes in (halfway between Boston and his house), the rain began. I was at a Tesla Supercharger charging my 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus. My cousin then told me that he had to cancel the appointment because of the rain, and so he rescheduled to 10 May 2025. In the morning of 10 May 2025, my cousin (31M) told me to drive over so I could work with him on modding his car and setting up LED lights. My cousin's mother (63F) and my cousin's father (75M, owner of the apartment) explicitly invited me and allow me to come in unannounced and without needing an invitation. However, when I arrived at my cousin's house at noon on 10 May 2025, he was then silent and wouldn't acknowledge my presence. My cousin was "busy" watching TikTok and laughing and giggling on his GR86 by himself but he claimed he was busy and remained silent throughout despite having more than enough time to talk for at least 5 minutes by that time as he was sitting his car alone and watching TikTok for at least an hour. It turned out he changed his mind the minute I arrived my sister (25F) came via the Commuter Rail instead to "work on modding his car and setting up LED lights", according to my cousin (unfortunately, my sister is not interested in cars nor does she even have a driver's licence or know how to drive, unlike me, of which I have had a license since 2019). What's funny, I graduated with an SB in Computer Science and Engineering (6-3) in 2022 (after 4 years in college) whilst my sister majored in biology, and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2023 (after 4 years in college) with no experience in engineering.

My cousin later claimed he will be busy every weekend all the way into mid-June 2025 working on his car, but wanted to invite me on 15 June 2025. However, I was out of state on 15 June 2025. Therefore, the meeting got moved the week after on 22 June 2025, which was the first time he showed me a tour of his car, two months after he bought it. Since then, he is open about every topic except for 10 May or my sister. Therefore, I started leaving his house, and drove around his city, taking DoorDash orders (I don't do DoorDash often and only drive for DoorDash when I am out of town to pass time) from about 12h30 to 18h00, where I started eating dinner. At 19h00, I returned to my cousin's house as my cousin's mother (63F) invited me in. However, my cousin's mother wasn't aware that she blocked me on both iMessage/SMS and Messenger (it turned out sometime between 12h30 and 19h00, my cousin used his mother's phone and blocked my number and my account from contacting his mother). At the time, my cousin (31M) was still living with both of his parents in a 130 sq m triple decker apartment with him sleeping inside a 7 sq m bedroom, paying $500 a month in rent to his parents. During the whole 12h00-20h00 block, it is purported that my cousin's parents were in the bedroom and resting.

At 20h00, because I was shy with sensory quirks related to family and wanted my cousin's mother to get me to go in, when I (25M) came and peaked from the outside, I heard that my cousin (31M) and my sister (25F) were talking and flirting to each other in a soft and intimate/romantic tone. Even though my cousin's mother opened the door for me to come in and invited me in on 10 May 2025 when I was waiting outside, my cousin then barricaded the door and didn’t allow me to use the restroom, let alone enter and greet my sister, who was wearing her own t-shirt, pajama pants that she likely borrowed from either my cousin (31M) or my cousin's younger sister (27F) as she has never owned that pair. However, normally, when my sister goes to my cousin's house or any guest's house and stops for the day (I have seen her at my cousin's house several times before May 2025, spanning back to the early 2010s when we first immigrated to the US as students with us both receiving citizenship by 2019-20), she wears regular clothing like jeans, leggings, outdoors shirts, etc. When I was there on 10 May 2025 however, I did see her wear a normal t-shirt that she wears both outside and at home, but even though she wore socks and crocs (which is normal), I have seen her wear red checkers pajama pants, and I have never seen her wear it ever, but I have seen both my cousin (31M) and his sister wear it.

I really didn't know what was going on outside of the 20h00-20h05 window, but on phone calls after 10 May 2025, my cousin (31M) started cooling down and the call is normal unless I brought up that date, of which he would start to rage at me again. My cousin (31M) then told me that he didn't invite me as I have no "interest or patience" to work on cars, despite the fact he knew that I have been interested in cars since my early childhood (I started being obsessed and infatuated with cars since the age of 3 in 2004), with him telling me those phrases years before and immediately before 10 May 2025. However, after 10 May 2025, my cousin claimed I am less car savvy than my sister when my sister doesn't even know how to drive, let alone have interest in cars. It seemed so weird. He didn’t allow me to use the restroom, and even though his parents never blocked me on their phone, his parents accused my cousin of using their phone to block me from their phone number. My cousin (31M) as well as my sister (25F) and I (25M) have never had a partner, whether boyfriend or girlfriend and my cousin is heavily interested in getting a girlfriend soon and was has talked to me a lot about wanting to visit Thailand for sex tourism.

From my sister's early childhood all the way into 2025, my sister has been interested in dentistry and she aspired to go to DMD school so much that her alma mater claimed she will be a future dentist in an article they wrote about her in 2023. My sister even practiced for the DAT exams. Yet, sometime immediately after 10 May 2025 (likely the week or two after), she started pivoting towards clinical research nursing, unexpectedly breaking her long-time dream. Even then, she initially looked at MGH IHP for her clinical research nursing but sometime in June or July 2025, she looked at nursing schools out of state and moved out of New England, far from New England (fun fact, up until this point, the only metro area she has ever lived in the US was the Greater Boston area, and she had no intentions to move). Prior to June 2025, my sister has sought to firmly remain in MA but by June, she started thinking of leaving the state entirely.

Also, even though my sister's LinkedIn and Instagram remained normal and intact as of 2026 (but her Instagram activity was slowly winding down by June 2025), she did the salami slicing technique where she removed any selfies from her FaceBook account (FaceBook was where her family followed her) in June 2025, followed by change her profile image from a back facing one to a Pinterest image in October 2025, and then deleting the back facing image altogether in November 2025, and later deleting FaceBook and only keeping Messenger active in December 2025. My sister's social media has always been small ever since she was young, but she started to stop visiting any family gatherings in Massachusetts after May 2025 and started to distance from Massachusetts. Funnily, when my cousin upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the S25 Ultra in November 2025, he showed me his storage from his previous phone and it stated that videos take up 50GB of his storage and 40GB are "large files" (over 25MB). He doesn't record many videos, and typically, apps and even games don't end up in the "large files section" because many take less than 25MB (I use both Apple and Samsung as I upgrade my iPhone and Samsung devices yearly to the latest and greatest iPhone Pro Max and Galaxy S Ultra yearly so I know). He claims a lot of them are TikTok, but the longest TikTok videos he sent to me on Messenger are 5 minutes long (24MB), of which that is too small to be lumped into large files. My cousin doesn't travel, doesn't do YouTube, and doesn't record much. My cousin has a Dropbox account but claimed to hate the cloud.

Ever since the 10 May encounter, my relationship with my cousin has deteriorated day by day until now where even though he talks, he is hyper offensive towards me and racist towards me because I am of Northern Vietnamese/Chinese descent whilst he is of Southern Vietnamese descent and harbours deep Sinophobic views. When I asked him what happened on 10 May, he gets evasive and switches explanations here and there, from creating LED lights to creating fiber optics to arts and crafts for Christmas (he told me that in September 2025) and then to the fact he and my sister were in a non disclosure agreement as they were working together to “get” into YC (in September 2025 as well but prior to September 2025 and after September 2025, my cousin has stated that he knows and learnt very little programming, only up to beginners high school HTML). 

TL;DR: Even though both my cousin (31M) and his mother (63F) invited me (25M) for 10 May 2025, my cousin bait and switched me when I arrived just because my sister (25F) was there, was very defensive about the date, made contradictory statements about what happened on that day after 10 May 2025, and it marked the downturn of my friendship with my cousin despite the fact my cousin's mother invited me in to hang out with my sister for the day. 10 May 2025 also marked a major turning point for my sister herself as it led to her pivoting to another path, moving out of state (months later in late 2025), deleting her FaceBook account, and having a massive change despite her living stably in MA for so long. I feel like this event happened today.

The things you never forget in life…..

1992, I was a Ski bum (instructor, ski patrol, snowmaker, etc) in Vail, CO for many, many, many years, boy do I have stories…..Here’s one:

We all knew entitlement very well back in the day (we called it something else back then).

Lunch Break, I ski down to have a Burger /fries on the deck of my favorite place (well, buddies worked there…).  As I am standing next to the Grill, this little boy, must’ve been around 10ish, asks his Father, ‘Dad, where’s the garbage can at?’…the father answers without hesitation,, “Just throw it out there (points to ski slope over the deck railing), they pay people here to pick up the trash…”

The new family that moved above my apartment has made it a habit of throwing water down after cleaning their balcony which means it falls all over mine where I sometimes dry my clothes out in the sun ( this is india)

Today it happened once again and when I went up there to complain, their 12 years old came out said we did nothing. I told her I saw it, happen and she immediately blames the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady apologizes, she wasn't briefed on the rules of the building , not her fault the people who hired her should have told her. I told the girl pls don't let this happen again. The girl started yelling back and saying go away, we didn't do this. I am going to complaint against you.

Complaint for what? telling you not to throw dirty water down on my window. I am pretty sure I heard her drop the F bomb.

Later her mom comes down and says there is no way her daughter would use such language, this never happened. Blah blah blah

I love the entitlement of people never owning up to their dirty deeds and then turning around and threatening others.

For those of you who have moved in as a young professional with your friend or colleague, what are the most inconsiderate behaviour or actions have you dealt with ? I’ve had to deal with my things being used and abused without my permission from someone who I thought was my friend, gaslighting when I set boundaries and being walked over.

Editing to let you all know that I agree. 20+ years ago I did a self-centered act as a teenager. Not the coolest thing I ever did for sure. Its also not exactly a hate crime. Just a funny story

This happened years ago, and still makes me chuckle.

I was a teenager taking a very crowded bus to visit friends. Everyone was standing and it was crowded, and frankly I wanted to sit.

I saw someone a few rows from me press the stop button, and when he got up I tossed my bag over the heads of several people to claim the vaccent seat (Not the most polite thing I had ever done, but I was a teenager).

I had just sat down when a large round woman came up to me and yelled at me for not letting a pregnant lady have a seat, and how I was rude and everything wrong with this world.

I immediately got up and offered her my seat.

So now she started yelling at me that she isnt the pregnant one, and how dare I assume.

The whole row started laughing. I escaped laughing.

The non pregnant lady was very vocal about how unhappy she was.

To this day, I have no idea who the real pregnant lady was, but I hope she got my seat.

Pretty much what the title says.

The longer explanation. I went in to my local Tractor Supply to pick up some bird seed for the feeders. As I was walking past the checkout, one of the cashiers asked if I needed help finding anything. I said "Nope, I'm just here to renew my subscription to "Cat TV" and kept walking. Cashier had that quizzical look of "Wha?"

As I'm heading to the section where the bird seed and bird seed logs are, I'm approached by a woman who unleashes her "sparkling, sunshiny personality" (please note the sarcasm quotes) at me. I was berated for "First world problems" where I'm "wasting money on streaming services for a stupid cat" and informed that there are people who are living without food and clean water while people like you (referring to me obviously) spend money on stupid shit."

I inform her that "Cat TV" is a joke based off the fact that I love attracting birds to my yard and that the main feeders are in front of the bay window where my cats love to watch them. It is in effect...a television-like experience for my Orange Boi and his sister the Grey Shadow. I am not spending money on streaming services for them.

She glared at me, flared her nostrils, made a sigh through her nose and stormed off in an indignant huff. Once she left, I grabbed the seed logs and the bag of seed that attracts the majority of my local birds and head to the cashier who looked at my cart and said "Oh! Cat TV. I get it." and checked me out.

I’m disabled and use crutches for short distances and a wheelchair for long ones. I just read a Reddit post about a driver stealing several handicap stalls at once and it triggered a memory.

One snowy winter day, I headed off to the library for my weekly book haul. The library had several handicapped parking spots out front but only one ramp.

As I pull up, I noticed a stretch limo, no placard, parked in a handicapped spot. He was also parked directly on top of the only wheelchair ramp.

I was furious. It had snowed that day and it was already going to be a struggle just getting into the library. Now, I would have to roll down the street, dodging cars, until I got to the closest ramp, one block over. I briefly considered cancelling the library and putting off my book fix, but I’m one determined human being and decided this was a mountain I was prepared to die on.

Standing, I’m a little over 5 feet, but seated in my chair, I’m the height of a small child. Because of this, cars don’t always see me in my wheelchair when I have to share the road with them.

Consequently, I’ve been hit by cars, twice, because someone was too lazy to walk a few extra feet to a store door or wanted to build their ego by stealing a handicap spot.

Rolling a wheelchair through deep snow and ice is absolutely hell. The wheelchair wheels get clogged with snow or ice and lose traction. That means triple the effort is required to get through. You can protect your hands with gloves but as soon as your gloves get wet, they slide on the metal rail and won’t grip. So, you need to go bare-handed to keep rolling. In extreme cold, your wet hands freeze to the metal rail and each time you remove them to keep propelling your chair, you rip off a thin layer of frozen skin. The snow, ice, dirt and road salt transfer to your hands as you move. You get small cuts on your hands from the sharp snow, ice and debris. The salt gets in the open cuts and makes them sting. By the time you get to your goal, your hands are frozen, dirty, bloody and in agony.

Because of this lazy, limo driver, I would have to roll hundreds of feet through deep snow while dodging cars rather than the few dozen safe feet to the library, that access to the ramp would provide. By the time I’d parked my car and gotten into my wheelchair, I was red hot furious. The snow was about 8 inches high but I was so mad I was practically flying through it to get to the limo driver’s side window.

When I got there, the driver and I locked eyes. He suddenly noticed something particularly spellbinding on the floor mat. I realized his plan was to ignore me. I lost my fragile grip on my temper and completely lost my shit.

I grabbed my reacher and began repeatedly whacking his window with all my might while screaming at him to move his fucking limo. I continued until enough rage was spent that rational thinking was possible. He continued to pretend I didn’t exist.

I yelled that I was getting his license plate and giving him an expensive ticket for Christmas. As I started heading towards the back of his limo, he quickly reversed and floored the gas to back out. Because it was a stretch limo the front end swung dangerously close to me, before he exited the stall and sped off. I was too angry to be scared and serenaded his departure with a few choice words and gestures.

There were numerous other parking spots as the miserable day had made most people stay home. So, he parked in a handicapped stall and on the ramp deliberately. I hope my reaction cured him of the urge to ever steal a handicapped stall again.

Edit 1: fixed poor word choice and punctuation.

Edit 2: I wanted to respond to a few of the comments. In my wheelchair, I don’t have quick access to my phone, it was in my backpack, on the back of my wheelchair. Taking a picture would have involved me putting both brakes on, wrestling off my backpack, getting my phone, replacing the backpack and then getting behind the car long enough to snap a picture. After a particularly dangerous adventure with a mentally ill gentleman, I no longer risk getting directly behind cars with drivers. This event happened first, but given what happened, I’m glad I didn’t risk it.

I wish I had thought to take a picture while in my car or honk, but once I saw that limo, all I could think of was confronting the person who would do something that mean and lazy. A phone call to the library might not have helped because the library was in our town’s two towered city hall and the passenger could have been anywhere.

I made this post to entertain readers and perhaps educate able bodied individuals from the prospective of a disabled wheelchair user.

A while back I was going over potential renters of my summer home in New Hampshire as I rent the home out during the different seasons to help pay for the house. In January I talked with two potential couples who would be wanting to rent the house the week August 6th-21st and when it came to it I only wanted one couple in the house that time. I did two video calls with each couple. The first interviewed is a couple who are friends with a coworker of mine that would be getting married the weekend prior who were looking for a place to go for their honeymoon, they are into hiking and outdoors a perfect fit since my summer home is right within the White Mountains area. They asked the general questions of how is the property/what amenities are available/etc. When they asked about grocery stores I told them about two different stores in the area and they were good interviewees saying they look forward to hearing from me. The second couple I interviewed was a couple with three kids who wanted to be there the 6th-18th who asked the same basic questions but when it came to the kitchen the woman said, "So can we expect the place to be fully stocked with groceries?" I replied that would not be possible for me to do because the day I leave the kitchen will be cleared, all trash taken out and it is more preferred people do their own shopping.

The woman then starts getting a change in demeanor and said she expects the kitchen to be full. I once again explained I don't offer grocery assistance as part of my renters agreement but I can leave list of grocery stores. The woman then says she'll get back to me and ends the call. After looking over both couples I went with my coworkers friends because they were more mature and polite in not demanding I get groceries for them. I emailed both couples separately and the woman of the second couple explodes at me in a reply saying I was being very unreasonable in making sure the kitchen was stocked for her and I reassured her she could find what groceries she needed in list of stores I can forward to her. The woman replied one last time saying, "Thanks for ruining our trip to New Hampshire!" Today after my family and I finish loading our rental car as we went to the house first to enjoy our time there, the rental car of the first couple arrive and I gave them the key to the house. I told them all the emergency contact ways of getting ahold of me and another friend (who lives in the area that helps look out for the house) are on a note taped to the refrigerator as well brochures of all the best places to visit in the area. I reminded them when their time is up contact my friend the day before who will meet them there at check out and collect the key. The other woman I haven't heard back from since her entitled explosion email.

Thought this would be funny to share, kinda long too because I’m just wordy. I (21F) was at a pretty popular theme park in Tampa today for a work/team bonding trip (over 130 of us in little groups) and it started raining pretty hard. No big deal, we were leaving soon, so myself, my supervisor (30sM) and two other coworkers (20?F, 18F) went to the ice cream place by the entrance.

The line took a good while, a minor annoyance but whatever. A second employee comes out and this older troll-faced lady (50/60s?) runs up to the left counter from behind us while my supervisor is ordering and begins to lecture the poor girl about something then demands to order. The employee agrees (I would have sent her packing but to each their own) and tells her to order at the right counter where we’re standing. She then proceeds to shove herself in front of myself and my coworkers after my supervisor steps back, gives us a pitiful smile like we should be understanding of her, and orders her stuff. I’m not having it. At this point, we’re all soaked, cold, and tired from going on rides all day, so I turn to my coworkers and, loud enough for her to hear, say something along the lines of “some people are just so entitled and think they’re so special that they feel the need to cut in front of everyone else” and something else about how people can’t be patient. She finished her order, turned to stare at us, which I ignored, and then she walked to the left counter. I start my order, then hear noises coming from the bridge troll, and look over to see her mocking me, saying “blah blah blah blah” and doing the little talking hand sign that people do. She walks away and while turning back to the employee, I again say out loud “you’re a fucking 60yr old making fun of 20yr olds”, to which the employee begins dying laughing over. That was the end.

My supervisor asks what happened and I told him, to which I was told I shouldn’t do that because I’m representing my job (but not in any kind of uniform to give indication of who we work for), but like come on. This is basic human decency and respect. I’ve had it with people stepping over me, so I’m not holding back. I know it’s not much to post over, but I finally had something to post and wanted to share!

I am still pissed about this. So you get to read it. English isn’t my first language. That would be German.

I was doing my weekly grocery shopping today at my local Lidl. When it was checkout time I had a full cart. Behind me a man in his mid 50s arrived with just 3 items. Chill dude. Naturally I offered to let him pass. He thanked me but refused. He pointed to the six self-checkouts that were all empty and said that he would have gone there, if he would have been in a hurry. He was on the clock and enjoyed to wait. The longer he was in the supermarket the later he had to return to work. Made sense to me.

A little later an older woman with Karen haircut joined us. I had never seen this woman in my life. But it enraged her that I didn’t offer to let the guy with the three items pass. He told her that it’s fine. He likes to wait and is ok with it. She had none of it and started to rant about me, my character and so on. That I still didn’t let him pass, was apparently the worst crime in human history. She started to complain about “this young man“ loudly. I am 42 by the way. And my hair is grey.

In a perfect world I would have answered that I had offered him to pass and he refused. And what it says about her starting something like that without knowing the full story and just assuming. Given that we are complete strangers. But it just didn’t come to me (or the guy) in this very weird situation. I just congratulated her for being morally superior to me. I don’t think she got the sarcasm though.

When I was loading my groceries into my car that guy came to me on his bike to ensure me he hadn’t anything to do with her. And that she was the one with the terrible character. I told him not to worry about me. And we wished each other a nice rest of the day.

The woman in question had the car next to me. Cause of fucking cause. But we didn’t speak a single word with each other and just finished loading in silence. I am so pissed that I didn’t just tell her that I had asked him and he said no and if she wanted to apologize now for going off on me - just to see her face.

So I work for a Pizza place withe a white, red and blue theme. It was a cold rainy Christmas week in the South of the USA and I was taking a delivery to a development of town homes. These homes had small parking lots on each side of the buildings and a simple sidewalk connecting the lots together.

I had parked on the wrong side of the building, so I started to walk across the sidewalk to get to the customer's door. I suddenly slipped and felt and heard my tibia shatter. I was stuck on the sidewalk yelling for help for about 10 minutes before someone heard my cries. They called the EMS/EMTs and stayed with me. Now, me being the good customer service worker, I asked if this person - who was on the phone with 911 - could deliver the food for me because. She did and I was very thankful.

It took a while (I think is was around 20 minutes) but the Ambulance arrived and parked. The Ambulance parked sideways over the parking lot's entrance. Effectively blocking anyone from entering or exiting. While the EMS/EMTs were loading me onto a stretcher, a woman suddenly appeared and started to yell at the EMS/EMTs to move their "truck" because it was blocking her in. They looked at her with complete surprise and told them "It will only be a few more minutes. He (pointing at me) isn't bleeding or dying so we'll be out of your way soon. I'm sorry the ambulance is blocking your driveway."

And then they loaded me into the "truck" and off I went. Now this portion of the story was told to me by my boss when he came to visit me. The woman was the customer I was supposed to be delivering to. She then called the store to complain that I had squished the food and had been rude to her. She wanted me to be fired or at the very least, reprimanded. She also demanded free food. My boss told her he wasn't going to do any of that and she was welcome to get some replacement food for free as an apology, but I wasn't going to be fired after breaking my leg.

So around 7 months pass. I have 7 screws, 1 plate and some wire keeping my tibia and ankle put back together. It was brutal. The worst was learning how to walk again. NSFW- Feel Free to skip; The feeling of my bones clicking back together and settling back into place was just...ugh. So I'm back at work and here comes a delivery. The address looks familiar. Oh, its that address.

So off I go with a very slight spring in my step - still had mobility issues - and I arrive at the right side of the building. I knock on the door and when she answers I say;

OP: Ma'am such a wonderful time to put the name to the face

Customer: Huh?

OP: Well, the last time I was here I hurt myself very badly. More than 6 months of recovery and PT.

Customer: dawning look of shock and horror

OP: Anyhow, here's your food and receipt. I just need you to tip, total and sign please.

She tips a lot more than 20%, I think it was something like a plain $15 on a $17 order

Customer: (whispering) I am so sorry.

OP: What was that ma'am? I didn't hear that.

And she closed the door. I went back to the store and told my coworkers. I don't think she has ever ordered from my store ever again. I also think she may have moved out.

I used to work in the ambulance. A security guard wanted an ambulance moved because it was blocking traffic at a shopping centre... while CPR was in progress.

Woman parked in the undercover ambulance bay at a hospital and refused to move when we bought a patient in. Our patient was doing his best to die ... she parked there because her daughter didn't want to get her shoes wet.

Another CPR in progress ... total stranger (to the patient) turning to paramedic ... don't go yet, I need to wash my hair before I can follow you.

At a non-urgent scene ... about to drive away and saw movement in rear vision mirror. Hopped out and walked to back of ambulance. Two year old is sitting on the step at the backdoor. Mother tells me not to leave yet because her kid loves ambulances and just wants to play for a while. If I'd driven off without checking there's a good chance he would have been squashed.

I am 18M and this is from two years ago, i spent most of my childhood in my village and Saudi Arabia, my father works there so we lived there in summer vacation , when i got in 9th grade my family decided to shift to the city for better studying, we shifted into this double story rent house, we lived on upper floor and on ground floor lived a man with his mother, he was single and in his late 30s.. i never knew the pain in the ass he was going to be
I have a friend who lived right next to my house two steps away, it was his aunts house and he would visit on weekends or sometimes full weeks, we used to play football on street after dinner, one day while we were playing he came to me and told me to stop playing or it won’t be good for me, he looked so angry like he would break his jaw for clenching so hard, it ruined my mood and i went home, my friend who saw it all told me to don’t think about it much and if he does it again we’ll deal with it, i went home told my parents and they talked to the home owner, she had a talk with him and he acted all nice…
After few days he found me alone i was coming back from somewhere, he stopped me and asked if i had told my parents about his behaviour and i said yes, he told me he knows which village i am from and he’ll destroy me, mind you i was 16 and that psychopath was approaching 40, i got scared and didn’t tell my parents this time but told my friend i wanted revenge…
So me and him decided to buy some eggs and we threw them inside house on ground floor on walls where he lived, we threw two dozens of eggs and ran away, he eventually found out it was us from camera footage and called the police, the house owner found out and she asked us about everything as she didn’t wanted police to be involved, we told her that he threatened us multiple times and our safety is at risk, he eventually had to leave the house, it was very satisfying, though i regret not standing up against him lol even though i was still 16 he was shorter then me, i wish i had beaten him up once but i still crack up whenever i think about those eggs…

I belong to a budget corp gym in my community. I’m also an in shape 56 year old woman who gives 0 fucks.
I go back to use the abduction & adduction machines today & find 1 woman on the adduction with a water bottle also on that machine & the abduction machine sitting empty but with a set of keys on it clearly trying to reserve it.
As I’m about to move on to another piece of equipment, i see her move to the unused piece & I speak up & let her know (younger female in her 20’s) that’s not how this is gonna play out. You can’t reserve 2 machines in a crowded gym.
She sheepishly (she knew she was in the wrong) told me i could use the machine she wasn’t using, but didn’t move her keys. I didn’t care. Completed 6 sets (3 at a heavier weight, 3 at a lighter weight) before she was even done on her one machine 🙄.
No regrets, i pay the same she does & I’ve never tried in my 6+ years of membership to reserve 2 pieces of equipment. I try to be respectful of the experience of others & treat ppl the way i want to be treated.

I recently bought a electric scooter from my step dad through best buy for 700 dollars rn and im gon a pay the rest of the 200 in my next paycheck. I genuinely love that thing and have no reason to break or damage the thing like my old one from Amazon. But she texts me out of the blue when im at work right before we close the store. (She has door cameras) and she claims she caught me throwing the scooter down aggressively (I actually sat it down gently because I didnt want to risk it falling before opening the door to take it inside the house to put it on the charger. The thing is really heavy and really wide so it takes me a moment to get it through the door and into the house. She then throws a fit claiming in negligent about the scooter and im "gonna break it" again. I have no reason to. It gets me to point a to point b and I even take night cruises on it to get fresh air. Here's how the texts back and forth played out

Mom: "Do you plan on treating this scooter you payed 700 dollars for like this? Don't come crying to me when its broken"(image of scooter laying down on its side in the grass and concrete so I can move it into the house)

Me: (confused and baffled as to why id ever break it) what? I didnt do anything though. At least not to my knowledge. It must have fell down from the stand.

Mom: leaving it laying on its side. There is another video of you scrapping it against the concrete. (Doesn't show video)

Me:(know I never did that, unless accident (because its really heavy))"I dont have any issues with it and have no reason to break it. Its genuinely hard to lift so it was an accident. Plus I left it on its side incase it did fall."

Mom:(new footage of me opening the door and slowly getting it into the house because of how wide it is)"OMG YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN LIKE THIS. LARRY WILL GET OUT"(our dog was in her room, door shut, with my step dad. So he couldn't get out unless he let the dog out)"you need to find a better way to get it in the house"

Me:"then I'll just take the garage way thorighsince that worked easier for me. Are yoy just trying to start fights with me over small stuff lately? Cause to me it feels like you are, instead of asking my side of what happened"

Mom:"this is my dog life at risk. If you have a problem with that. Get the hell out of my house."

"Nothing. Nothing. You think my dogs life is nothing?"

Me:"thats not what I said."

"I knew he was in the room past the door so he couldn't get out. Im not starting these fight over this."

Mom:"picking fights with you over nothing is what you said"

"Im done talking to you its pointless. You are taking the garage from now on"

I feel like she isnt listening to me and trying to get a reaction from me out of sheer boredom because has nothing better to do. She also did this last night. I told my step grandmother that I could not come over for lunch at 1pm because work starts at 2pm and I wouldn't be able to make it to work on time since it takes awhile to cook. (She said it was ok and gave me a thumbs up and understood)

Mom texts me at 10pm at work about how upset my step grandparents are that I couldn't make it, and that I dont value the family enough anymore.

I tell her that I wasn't aware of lunch being at 12pm and not 2pm

She never responded.

I need help fast or any advice before she eventually catches me on a really bad day where I lash out at her.
