Insolent-Idiot Neighbor Tries to Mess With the HOA, Loses His Parking Spot Permanently

u/rashmisalvi's neighbor was approached with a request to move his car by their residential complex's 'housing society', which u/rashmisalvi explains is his country equivalent of an HOA.

The neighbor could not have reacted in a worse way and tried to stonewall the ceremony as to not have to move their car. The thing is, the neighbor had claimed a highly sought-after spot. A spot that wasn't necessarily his but one that everyone else left to him anyways out of force of habit. 

The neighbor thought that, if he moved his car, someone else might try to take the spot. So he was determined not to move it.

It's worth noting here that the only other spot in this location was used by the elderly neighbor whom everyone was eager to accommodate. These parking spaces were so much closer than any others that people had unofficially declared the other spot to be his. 

When the insolent neighbor finally relented and moved his car for the ceremony. The HOA declared that his spot was no longer going to exist and they would be taking applications to park in the elderly gentleman's spot. Which, of course, the elderly gentleman won. 

It's hard to believe that we're cheering for and HOA but it is amazing to see someone like this getting put in their place. Kudos to the HOA for sorting this a-hole out.

Husband Insists Wife Loses Weight, Lets His Friend Gives Unsolicited Advice, Tells Her She's the Jerk

The 'Husband of the Year Award' for 2022 has already been claimed and it's going to be this lovely piece of work. 

u/PartReal8256 shared her recent experience with her husband to the r/AmItheA--Hole subreddit today.

She describes that she has gained about 4 kg (10 lbs. for you Americans) over the course of the last few years. As a result, her husband has been telling her that he "finds [her] legs too thick". Which is something I just can't imagine ever saying to my partner.

I understand that everyone has different relationships but I just can not imagine ever saying that to my partner. I also can't imagine still having a partner after saying that to my partner and allowing my friend to comment on her weight.

I'd tend to agree with the commenters here... She should commence her weight-loss journey by ditching the 100 kg sack of crap she has been dragging around.

Untouchable and Unqualified Political Appointee Successfully Fires Herself, Regrets Immediately

This week on r/MaliciousCompliance, u/WritesForDough42, shared the story of their terrible, politically appointed, boss, who successfully managed to remove themselves from their position when no one else was able to.

Shannon is the kind of person who thinks that she is transcendent because of their parent's political connection. She lives her life in a way that only such entitlement would allow. Never taking responsibility for her lack of contribution to anything significant. 

In u/WritesForDough42's words, "She was a bully and a tyrant." though she "wasn't a micromanager because she was never around enough to actually micromanage anything."

What do you do about someone who is incapable of being removed from their office but is absolutely useless? 

Get them to remove themselves.

Thankfully that chance would soon present itself when Tricia, the new assistant director, arrived. 

Freaky Double Take Moments That Had Our Eyes Thoroughly Tricked

As amazing as the human eye is, it's remarkable how easy it is to trick. Millions of years of evolution would have you thinking that you have this amazing tool that can perfectly detect an astonishing amount of information at a rapid rate. But guess what, if someone's pants are the same color as the grass, your first thought is "whoa that guy learned how to levitate, that's crazy." 99 percent of the time our eyes and brain come to terrifically reasonable conclusions, but that last one percent has us actually thinking "isn't it interesting that that man has the face of a horse."

It doesn't even take a whole lot to sway our sense of reality. One well-placed shadow or warped perspective and we're baffled for half a minute. One upside-down dog's face and we think we've discovered a new species. If someone puts Bugles on their fingers, there's a very small fraction of a second where we seriously have to consider whether or not witches exist. It makes sense that our brains default to alarm. If in fact there was a possibility that we lived in a world filled with levitating trash cans and dogs with human butts, it would be better that our mind can first detect it as a supernatural threat. But that's not the case, so instead we just see things the wrong way and our friends point out to us that we are dumb all the time.

Heartless New Neighbor Ignites Driveway Feud, Loses and Ends Up With Tiny Driveway

When u/VeterinarianWhole250 and their significant other moved into their house 20 years ago they had a long period of peace with their elderly neighbors and they "got along with [them] very well." 

But when those neighbors, sadly, passed away and the house was sold it fell into Mike's meaty claws. 

Now Mike is one of those people. One of those people who have no regard for where they hang in the karmic balance of the world or for how their actions affect others. 

All people like Mike see are dollar signs and personal gain. 

Our protagonist couple had been sharing a driveway with the old neighbors for the duration of their time living next to each other. The driveway was partially on one side of the property line and partially on the other. 

So, when Mike decided that he was going to abolish that tarmac treaty, his ugly mug wasn't ready for what he was about to do.

Lord Of The Rings Memes To Help One Simply Walk Into Mordor

These movies have been around for almost 20 years, but like the proverbial eye of Sauron, they just keep finding us no matter how hard we try to stay away. And no, we don't try to stay away from Lord of The Rings memes, but they just have a habit of making their way into our lives. We get constant flashbacks to Denethor eating that cherry tomato, that one orc with the torch that blows up in the Helm's Deep sewer, and during lulls in the day our internal monologue just goes "AND MY AXE." No birthday, baby shower, Christmas or Friday is complete without a viewing of the extended edition. 

This preoccupation with Lord of The Rings moments would be a problem if it were almost any other franchise, but hey we're here to enjoy the time we have, and any time spent watching Sam and Frodo onscreen is impossible to consider wasted time. Okay, The Hobbit movies might be not as completely perfect, but they're fine to throw on during an airplane ride or something.

Barista Posts TikTok Degrading Guy's Mother, She Gets Fired When He Shows Her Manager After She Refuses to Take it Down

U/aitacoffeeserver left his mother at home alone when she visited them for the first time from Korea. 

When he got home from work he realized that he forgot to instruct his mother on the tipping customs in the United States. The thing was, she had already gone to aitacoffeeserver's local cafe to get a coffee while he was at work. Putting two and two together, he realizes that she must not have tipped the barista.

He went immediately the next day to see the barista, "Jane". Jane is noticeably upset about not being tipped but aitacoffeeserver explains the situation to her and leaves a 70% tip. 

Thinking it is all now behind him aitacoffeeserver returns to his business... Until he is sent a TikTok by a coworker. 

Jane has made a TikTok about getting stiffed on tips by people from '"f--k knows" followed by a discriminatory phrase that leads aitacoffeeserver to believe that it is referring to his mother. 

aitacoffeeserver went back to the cafe and asked Jane to take the video down. 

When she refused. He escalated. 

Good on him for taking this idiot down. People need to remember that actions on social media can have real-world consequences. I

Insane Lies People Heard From Compulsive Liars

It's always interesting to slowly realize that you're talking to a pathological liar. Usually it starts with an intriguing hook. "Oh man, I can't eat Oreos," says a strange gentleman at the Jimmy Buffet themed bar you always seem to find yourself in on Thursdays.

"Really man? It is because of the sugar? Sometimes too much sugar gives me a stomach ache" you say, trying to make friendly conversation.

"Yeah, it could be that," he says, being reasonable enough to keep you involved. "But they have a chemical in there that stains your teeth."

"Oh really? I guess the chocolate parts of it do kind of get stuck in my teeth a lot. It's like spinach, haha" you say, because you are very good at conversation. You're terrific.

"No," he continues. "It's a tracking device. See I used to work for the CIA. Psy ops. I worked in Brazil in the 70's. I was the front man for a rock group that was really popular there. We sang in Portuguese, so you haven't heard any of our songs. Anyway, Mondelez foods, the owner of Oreos, is a front for the CIA, and my rock group was sponsored by Oreos so that we could install tracking devices into all the mouths of the royal family there. But then our cover was blown. My bassist was a double agent. Turns out the Oreos were being used to track US. And that's why I'm off the grid. Can't touch an Oreo or else I'll be extradited to Sao Paulo and charged for my crimes." He takes a sip of Bud and looks at you with wide eyes, waiting, expecting, demanding that you believe him. It's the only thing he wants in this whole world.

"Oh. That's really interesting, man. I have to go."

Some people lie as an excuse, and others lie because they're deeply insecure and want to impress people. But the most interesting liars are the ones who lie for no conceivable reason, like these absurd lies people's parents told them as kids.
