Insane Neighbor Insists Homeowners Pay Their Child's Medical Bills After Their Child Hurts Themselves in Homeowners' Driveway


These parents can't accept any responsibility for their own actions... When this couple, u/tapurplepudding and their partner, purchased and was set to move into their new house, they noticed that their neighbor's children had a habit of playing in their new driveway. They kindly introduced themselves and asked that the neighbors keep the driveway clear as they moved things in and out.

Things seemed to be going well, and the kids stayed out of the driveway as they moved their things inside.

They then noticed that the kids were digging holes in their yard. When they approached the parents about it, the parents just laughed and said that they were "digging for fossils."

When asked AGAIN not to play in the driveway or their yard, the neighbors responded that "the previous owners always let them do it." 

Thankfully, u/tapurplepudding followed up on this final attempt at reason with a letter because it helped protect them legally from the trouble to come...

 

'[Boss] got demoted': Boss demands worker stick to scheduled hours, results in obvious outcome


What should you do when your boss demands that you stick to your rostered hours after you've been working heaps of overtime to try and keep things afloat? Do exactly what they asked, of course. It's always nice to rack up a few hours of overtime here and there to get a bit of extra coin, but having to do it week on week is a sure way to burn out. Rather than rewarding your employer for understaffing the team, sometimes it's best to let things burn a little bit to get a little more support — especially when your boss foolishly commands you to do so.

'A dog would never do this': 25+ Animals who were bad to the bone before their owners caught them on camera


It's a good thing animals are so cute, because these little dudes have been extra naughty! These people below caught their cats, dogs, and other assorted animals being especially bad. 

My heart goes out to the person who caught their cat only after the kitty had shredded each roll of toilet paper in the house. All the cat knows is that the TP makes a great scratching post — who cares if it's anyone else's property? 

In addition, I have a bone to pick with the pup who ate the entire pizza. That's just wrong. Dogs are such a fan of eating as much as they possibly can, even if they then regret it, due to a stomach ache. It just doesn't matter to them in the moment — it's time to chow down

Next up, this woman is tired of going to restaurants with her forgetful SIL, who can never remember to bring her wallet along with her. 

AITA: 'I told my sister she is an evil human being who doesn't deserve to be a mother': Pregnant sister steals the baby name of her brother's stillborn child only a few weeks after they lost it


Trigger warning: Miscarriage

Family names are super important to some people to pass down to their children. A family name represents heritage while also honoring your loved ones, but is it worth torturing your living family for the sake of the rights to a name? One man recently just found out how far his sibling was willing to go just so that they could make a grab for the family name, throwing his family's agony back in his face. 

u/Patient-Ad8524 a married man in his early 30's recently celebrated the pregnancy of his dear wife, Pam. Excited for the first grandchild in the family, they discussed using their grandma's name to honor her legacy: Victoria. A few short weeks after they announced their pregnancy to the family (as well as their excitement to use the name), Patient's sister Layla announced that she and her husband were pregnant as well! Jokingly, they laughed about how the older brother beat her to the grandma's name, but they were happy to be pregnant at the same time. 

Late in their pregnancy, Pam, OP's wife suffered a late-stage miscarriage, and gave birth to a stillborn child.

Horrified and sad, the two alienated themselves from the family for several weeks after burying Victoria. However, Patient's sister was still pregnant and nearing the end of her pregnancy, so when it came time for her gender reveal, the sorrowful husband and wife were invited to attend. Little did they know, they would be completely sideswiped by grief when, during the reveal, pink balloons and a huge "Baby Victoria" banner waved in their faces.

Patient's sister blatantly stole the name of their d3ad child because apparently it was up for grabs now. Patient snapped on his sister and made a huge scene at the gender reveal after Pam ran away in tears. Frankly, is a name worth ruining the life of a sibling and SIL? Definitely not.

'I am in dress code': Boss shortsightedly bans shorts but not kilts


Rules are usually there for a reason, but sometimes that reason is that a middle manager was bored and didn't have any actual work to do to pass the time.

This worker was told off for wearing shorts to work by their new boss. They went home and consulted the employee handbook and were disappointed to find that the defined dress code backed up the boss's tirade. However, the dress code said nothing about whether or not you were allowed to wear a kilt to work... It also said nothing about what color that kilt was allowed to be.

It's safe to say that the boss's reaction almost kilt him… The guy almost blew a gasket when he saw the employee walk into work in all of his glory.
