Entitled Influencer's Dad Disputes Contest, Ruins Entire Project

All it had to be was a dumb marketing project with some giveaway stuff, but one "do you know who my father is" type just had to be involved. Overzealous and aggressive parents speaking on behalf of their children can lead to a lot of pain and suffering down the road, like this parent who blamed a teacher for their own kid not being in virtual class.

Text - We present them with an idea for their next big thing: • We get 20 young influencers to take photos of themselves with some bank cards and stuff. All of them some small-scale school-age influencers paid a symbolic amount of money. • I reate an Instagram clone, where people vote for their favorite photo. Each week, a new set of photos opens up and voting starts again, for a total of 8 weeks. • Everyone who participates in voting enters a raffle, and the influencer with the most votes gets

Text - I was the sole developer for this job, which meant I had the opportunity to take out the fanciest tools in my toolbox. I was quite proud of the end product. It was done on time, on budget, well tested, and could handle tons of traffic. Then, the campaign goes live. Voting starts, traffic exceeds our expectations, everything on my side is working great. On the second day of the campaign, an 18-year-old $influencerGirl gets a massive spike in vote count during a 1 hour period. Immediately a

Text - The $veryImportantDad is threatening us in every possible way he can. Negative social media posts, complaining to $bank, boycotting the campaign by getting other participants on board, and somehow threatening legal action. In the same email, he mentions at least 3 times how his son is a huge social media personality, how we should be lucky to even have him in the game, how he didn't even want to participate in such a small-scale event, and just how impossible it is for him to receive fewe

5.

Text - While the security was done right, auditing and logs were inadequate for this investigation. Server access logs contained IP addresses and such but contained no information that would allow me to connect HTTP requests to actual users and who they voted for. Authentication was done either via Google SSO, Facebook SSO, or SMS code verification. Database records were consistent, so I ended up browsing through the SSO data, trying to spot any sign of multiple dummy Google or Facebook accounts

6.

Text - The best proof I could come up with was the ratio between different authentication methods. If $influencerGirl cheated, the makeup of the accounts that voted for her would be different from the rest of the accounts. In layman's terms, if the app had 40% of users registered via Google, 35% via Facebook, and 25% via SMS, and the accounts that voted for her had the same ratio (or at least, not different enough for any statistical significance), it would 99% prove that she did not cheat. If s

Text - The people at $bank did not quite understand the mathematics, so my investigation failed to reach any conclusions. So they did the obvious. A lawyer from $bank called $influencerGirl to ask her how she got those votes. Turns out she was an animator at a college party, where she picked up the mic and told everyone to vote for her. She then signed a statement that this was true. For the remaining weeks, we were stalling $veryImportantDad, telling him that the investigation is in progress an

8.

Text - In the end, the campaign exceeded all KPIS, some by a factor of 10, and would be considered a massive success, were it not for the accusations of cheating. It put a strain on our relationship with the $bank and we received no future projects like this from them. Eventually, they pulled all their work.

Girlfriend Spends Minimal Effort On Boyfriend's Gift, Boyfriend Gets Sad

This guy asked the folks in Reddit's AITA community whether or not he was in the wrong for his reaction to learning that his girlfriend basically got him the same kind of gift that she gets anyone else in her life who she doesn't want to spend too much time and money on. With what might be no big surprise at all, people seem to be in collective agreement that it was a pretty lousy move on the part of the girlfriend.

Text - AITA for being angry about a gift my gf gave me? Not the A-hole So some months ago my girlfriend and I had our 1 year anniversary, and of course we exchanged a gift. She hinted me that she would have loved a ring, nothing too crazy, and I got her a ring. In addition to that a big frame with 12 picture in it, one picture from every month we've been together (yes I know it may sound lame lol). I'm a sort of minimalist and I don't really have anything I need so when she asked me if there was

Text - All good until some days before christmas, she has two close friends and she didn't know what kind of gift to give them, I suggested i couple of ideas but she said it was a waste of money (around 10€, keep in mind she lives with her mom and gets 500€ from her dad every month). And then she said what got me a little angry: "I'll do the thing I do when I don't want to spend money and time on a gift, I'll just buy two cheap frame at the chinese shop, print a couple of photos and I don't have

Text - Now some time has past, I'm not angry, but I feel sad about the whole thing. Am I the asshole for getting angry and sad about the whole situation?

Text - gooberfaced • 1d • Professor Emeritass [70] NTA for being ticked off and then sad. The fact that she admitted to your face that she had just given you her standard "not that important" treatment would tick me off too.

She literally just declared what she does when she gives no shits about a gift, and it just happens to perfectly match what she did for your anniversary? But "that's different"! 1. I hate that defense, it's essentially an admission of fault on the other parties end but somehow people seem to think that it's a blanket defense for being horrible. This sounds like it needs a much more serious conversation with some honesty involved from her end. Q

Honestly her gift couldve been such a good idea if she took the time to pick out four significant photos together, and wrote a little memory on the back of each photo before putting them in the frame for you to read. even something simple like that or putting hidden messages behind them ("this was the first time i realised i loved you" "remember we saw that cute little cat over here on this date too?" etc etc). her gift was thoughtless in all though, because

I am not a good gift giver so I do get her side a bit but even if I fail the effort and thought make a difference. A romantic relationship is not one you should slack on or do your throwaway gift with no effort. Even the idea can be okay with some effort. My husband did similar when we were dating but he got a disposable camera and got friends to take pictures of us toge

Scammer Thinks They Have Foolproof Plan For Free Vacation, Pays For It In The End

When will the irritating scammers of this wild world ever learn that their scams are going to backfire on them at some point? This particular scammer thought they had some kind of airtight, foolproof plan for a free vacation, and oh boy were they wrong. We just love to see a scammer get their rightful comeuppance when it's all said and done!

1.

Text - r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk + Join u/MrsRononDex • 1y 1 2 Scammer thought she had a foolproof plan for a free vacation... But she paid for it in the end! Long I will always remember this wanna-be scam artist. I was working Corporate Guest Relations and I received a VERY long email from a guest about their stay at our Resort property in Mexico. This was a very nice All- Inclusive Beachfront Resort. She put a lot of effort into the email, which was basically a day-by-diary of her 8 night stay,

2.

Text - Day 1: The shuttle driver was rude. We had to wait 30 minutes to checked in. The view is horrible, we can't see the Ocean. The sheets were dirty (picture attached). The A/C is so loud I can't sleep. There is a crack in the sidewalk outside our room (picture attached). My dinner was cold and there wasn't any salt/pepper on the table. The shower has no water pressure. Day 2: We had breakfast at pancakes. My daughter's favorite cereal available. There were loud children playing in the pool a

3.

Text - Imagine a list with 100 more things from her 8 night stay, every department from FD, Housekeeping, Maintenance, ect. Now, some of the complaints seemed plausible, but really, who spends their entire vacation making a log of everything they think is wrong with a Resort? Especially a Hotel we get very little complaints about. Sol contacted the FOM to discuss the guest, assuming the FD system (which I cannot access) would have all the logs from this woman's complaints (the Hotel logs EVERYTH

4.

Text - But there was nothing there. In fact, the entire time she was at the Hotel she never voiced any complaints. She merely logged them in her little "complaint diary" and went about her business. Many of her issues were extremely petty, for example the "crack in the sidewalk" was about 3 inches long and was flat on both sides. It wasn't a tripping hazard, just a small crack. The light out in the path... even in the picture I could see that the area was still very well lit because they have li

5.

Text - We looked into everything, talked to all of the department heads, and had the room she stayed in fully inspected. While the list made it seem like she had a horrible stay, there really wasn't any substance behind her complaints. So, since this all seemed a bit fishy to everyone, I called the guest and spoke with her about her complaints. I told her that I had been in contact with the Hotel and we couldn't find any record of her complaints, and I inquired who at the Hotel she had spoken wi

6.

Text - I gave her my apologies and suggested that next time she should express her complaints while on property, so they can be immediately addressed. For example Housekeeping would have been happy to change out the "dirty sheets", etc etc. Keep in mind she was there for 8 nights, at an all-inclusive resort with 7 different restaurants, 4 bars, multiple pools, etc. She probably never left the Hotel, but never said a word about all the problems she was having. Note: 100% of the employees speak En

7.

Text - Nope, that's not good enough, she wants a FULL refund ($6,500) and nothing less. I told her that I would discuss and get back to her. The next day I inform her that the Hotel would not offer a refund, but they were willing to add in another night, so now that's 4 free nights. Nope, unacceptable, she continues to demand a full refund. We went back and forth. She wanted my manager, who then told her the same thing. The guest hung up on my boss after things got a bit heated. A few days later

8.

Text - Then, the unimaginable happened. In all my years of Customer Service, I have never EVER had a scammer resort to telling the TRUTH. When she finally realized she wasn't getting a refund, she cried, "| can't afford to pay for this, I don't have the money! I don't know what to do... you have to help me!" I was like, "You... can't afford to pay? Weren't you planning on paying for your stay when you made the reservation? It's not like we are charging you more than you agreed to ...and we are s

9.

Text - Did this woman just admit she planned all this, thinking she was just going to complain her way into a $6,500 refund? Yes, yes she did just say that. Me: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do." Guest (who now sounds like she is having a panic attack): "I've got to get that money back, I've got to do something... you've got to help me out here... I don't know what else to do ... I don't have the money...I can't pay for this..." Me: "Ma'am, you should have thought about that befo

10.

Text - She cried some more, then she resorted to screaming so I hung up on her. Everything was noted. All my calls are recorded so I went ahead and attached that file. She did send some hate mail to our Corporate offices, but due to the fact that I had a RECORDING of her admitting she was trying to scam us, they ignored her letters. Oh, and her "frequent guest" membership was flagged as being banned from all properties. We did not send her the free night certificates either. 5.1k Q 232 1, Share

Humorous Times People and Things Were Singled Out Unfairly

With all the misfortune life likes to throw at people, there are moments when life has a way of singling certain people and things out in a way that's so unfair, it just becomes funny.
