Striking Example Of A Rip Tide


Yikes. Rip tides are normally much sneakier (and less visible) than this.

Lazy Stranger Keeps Using Wrong Email, Gets Petty Revenge'd


The lazy-ass excuse this person gives for confusing their email accounts is all the more reason to mess with his shipping details. For more petty drama, here's an entitled coworker who demanded a party and took all the leftovers as well as exchanges between neighbors who hate each other.

Text - With most emails, there's a number, name and an address (I'm assuming it's the persons address) attached. I've tried texting the number and even calling but I've never gotten an answer. I'd always get emails from ups to confirm the pickup/drop off area. Ever since I've gotten the emails, I always change the location for delivery. So instead of it being delivered at his doorstep, it gets shipped to a post office 20 miles away. He can't change that since like I said, it's all attached to my

Text - In his email, he calls me an asshole for making the pickup so far. When I asked him why can't he just use his own email he said: It's always a typo I do and I don't feel like fixing it because it takes too much time. I'm not even joking, that's exactly what he said. So AITA for sabotaging this guys packages?

Text - yankeegirl152 Partassipant [3] 1.4k points · 19 hours ago NTA. He's admitted to doing this as more than a typo. Instead of messing with his packages I'd start using his email for every spam that you sign up for. If you happened to randomly choose the numbers in his phone number when you need to put in a phone number for the places you know telemarketers will be calling from, that would be a shame too.

Text - DreadGrrl Asshole Aficionado [15] 740 points · 19 hours ago NTA I have similar problems with at least one person who uses my email address regularly, and for all sorts of things. I don't know why this person does it, but I've changed so many things on said person that one would think it would be obvious that using my email address is more trouble than it is worth. I changed her (His? Their?) cable TV billing date again today, and I set her cable box to record a couple of new shows.

People That Screwed Themselves Over In Court


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various people that were their own worst enemies in court. Some criminally dumb criminals just seem to ask for it. For more absurdity from the courtroom check out these ridiculous overheards during court proceedings.

Text - abunchofsquirrels • 4d Unfortunately my best story for this is from my own client. We had a client who was on the board of directors for a company, and was being sued for allegedly not telling the board something. His part of the case was really only a smaller part of a larger and more complicated case, so while there were a lot of other issues in the case overall, the entire case against him specifically essentially boiled down to whether or not he told the board about X. I and few other

We open it, pop the disc in the computer, and right there is security cam footage of our client picking up the wet leaves, putting them on the sidewa

He ordered me to remove it, and tried to levy fines for the violation. He went after my landlord and tried to get me evicted. Eventually, I got a lawyer and filed a complaint. When asked to point to the bylaw I was breaking, he did and even read it out, which basically read: No parking or storing anything in a driveway other than an automobile. He

Problem was, the lease they signed and the landlord signed said when they renewed the lease both parties were to get their own appraiser then meet in the middle of what the two prices were. Landlord didn't like what his appraiser said so he refused to tell my parents what the appraisal was. So for two years he se

For the first time, she had some peace and security in her life, genuinely working on overcoming her demons, and was unlikely to re-offend again. was It was

That is a win-win situation there. If that does not work out, try to look for a budding photographer in your family or perhaps, that friend of yours who is brilliant when

Important Twitter Thread On Living With Depression
