'This should NEVER happen to a patient': Woman gets forgotten by hospital staff and walks out to a completely closed down doctor's office


The healthcare system in the U.S. has been a topic of controversy for decades. We pay out the wazoo in taxes for it, yet many of us don't even receive it. And then the ones who do, are either super rich and get top quality care, or not super rich and get subpar or horrible care. We don't blame the health workers! It is the system. But because of this horrible system, we've all, unfortunately, experienced a horrible doctor's visit situation. You know, that time you had an appointment made for 9am, but you didn't get seen until 11am, and you didn't end up leaving that appointment until 3pm? And then you STILL get a bill for $400 in the mail… Yeah, it's unfortunate, but we're all trying to make due with what we have. 

However, getting forgotten in the doctor's office and you come out of the patient's room after waiting for over an hour and all the lights are off and nobody is there… Well, that seems a little too far. A woman recently posted her doctor's appointment where she experienced just that. 

As a healthcare worker herself, she is completely appalled by what happened to her. A patient should never get forgotten—what if it had been an elderly patient or a patient unable to walk? However, even if it was a healthy patient there just for a check up, they should still not be forgotten. In a video now deleted, the woman says she does not look down on health care providers because of this situation, it seemed like a weird accident. Though she still is in the process of inquiring about it through the proper means. See the full story and video below:

'The neighbors were in my pool': Entitled family disregard new neighbor to use his property because they 'had permission' from previous owner


After buying a house, this guy met his new neighbors, but these people just couldn't let go of an old neighborhood agreement. Relationships between neighbors can be delicate. The family in this guy's story clearly missed house's previous owner, and that didn't stop them from using his property. 

As u/rodeopete3281 wrote, he recently purchased a new house, and was fixing it up before move in. He realized that some of his new neighbors were parking at his house every day, which wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that he was working at this site. The neighbors protested that the last owner of the house was cool with them parking there. But the OP told them they could park there only if they could move before 6 AM every day. 

That arrangement only lasted about a week before things escalated. The OP truly did get some petty revenge on this family!

 After that, read the tale of this guy's horrible roommates, and their plan to take over his personal space. 

'You lied to me and you should deal with the consequences': Nightmare Male Karen thinks he got petty revenge by making enemies with a restaurant


Talk about main character syndrome! This guy literally thought he was wronged by the manager of a restaurant and wound up posting to Reddit to flaunt their outrage. However, even narcissists aren't always fully able to disguise the truth, and it became very clear in the retelling of this story who was actually in the wrong.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and let's just say that people in the comments were quick to call the Redditor out on their Karen behavior. There were several moments in this journey when the original poster could have chosen to simply order from another restaurant rather than cause more trouble. But no! They decided to pick a fight, and let's be honest: this was never about the discount code. This was about a person's inability to be wrong. Keep scrolling below for the full story.

'I'm paying rent, it's my room': Sneaky roommates run up bills, attempt to steal guy's room while he's away


Living with your pals is a risky move, even if you're life-long friends. This guy shared the story of his two awful roommates, Lisa and Jay, who decided to share a living space. 

As the OP wrote, "Every bone in my body is saying this is a bad idea, but I give it a go." Despite their hesitation, the first few months went fine for the OP and their two roommates. But then, things started to shift. The two began acting oddly, like the GF, who suddenly shows up with a $500 phone and TV bill, claiming it's the OP who ran up these charges. The OP was completely befuddled, but Jay and Lisa insisted it was his. They were scheming behind the OP's back, proving them right about that initial bad feeling. 

Next, this Karen got so fired up over a few tiki torches that she ended up making it the whole neighborhood's problem.

'Her coworkers thought I'm not good enough': Boy buys ring, girl breaks up with boy because her coworkers don't like him, internet reacts


There are many red flags to watch out for in relationships, but your coworkers' opinions should not be at the top of the list. Unfortunately, however, that became the turning point for this relationship, and it doesn't even sound like the Redditor even met his long-term girlfriend's coworkers at the salon. They had simply overheard conversations and seen his picture and decided that the girlfriend was way out of his league. 

 

So what did the girlfriend do? Instead of attempting to squash the conversation or defend her relationship, she took it to heart and started telling the Redditor that her coworkers are planning for her to meet other men. What kind of crazy guilt-tripping manipulation is that? At a certain point, the original poster snapped and decided to go off the grid for a bit. What happened next was wildly unexpected.

Fired-up Karen calls fire department for nothing, so the entire neighborhood retaliates against her


Nosy neighbors always have too much time on their hands to start pointless feuds. In this case, Karen not only ignited a neighborhood fight, she also wasted valuable resources. 

This person shared their wild tale from a few years ago, when they first moved into a duplex. The trouble stared the day they moved in, when Karen began interrogating her new neighbor. Acting like she was the HOA, she told the OP that all fire pits and bonfires are banned from the street, then asked lots more invasive question. The OP just ignored her, but after a few months, they decided to put up some tiki torches to keep bugs away. Karen didn't like that! As Karens often do, she made her problem everyone else's problem too. She called up the local fire department to complain, not just once, but several times! What a waste of a fire department's time.
