Guy Lands Smoke-Show Tinder Date, Ends Up Audience to an MLM Sales Pitch


This guy thought he had landed an amazing girl off of Tinder for a first date. But he missed all the red flags. It turned out he had actually got himself a one-way ticket to her MLM sales pitch and when he went to grab a coffee, her "business partner" popped out of nowhere like a gopher. 

It's a rough world out there in the world of online dating. To go with the recent online trend… She's a ten but tries to pitch her MLM on the first date.

This thread was posted to Reddit's ever-popular r/TIFU subreddit, a classic site staple sub. It was published by u/SlimVali, our unfortunate protagonist, with the title "TIFU by going on a date with a girl from Tinder who seemed way too good to be true and not seeing the red flags."

Commenters had a variety of quips and suggestions in the comments. 

"You should report her profile, so other guys don't waste time with this scammer," suggested Steve2606.

"Turn the tables and start offering IT services for their fast-growing business at the low, low rate of 100 dollars an hour," quipped throwaway_2567892. "But wait, there is more. For each additional person, each hour of IT support will cost 50¢ less, up to a max of 50 dollars per hour. Please note this only covered support and not any type of gear, or design."

Entitled Karen Wants A Salad, Orders a Not Salad, Throws a Tantrum


This entitled Karen insisted on ordering a salad. However, the salad she was ordering was, in fact, not a salad. Despite the waiter's attempts to explain this to her, she refused to listen and then proceeded to have a meltdown once her "salad" arrived.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/entitledpeople subreddit by u/nightamethyst, who posted their story to the small-ish sub with the title "Maybe if a waiter says it's not a salad, it isn't?"

Readers reacted in the comments.

"I hate these kinds of people," said FurryDrift. "The napkin in the water was an insult. Cuz no sane person does that."

"I was a hostess at Red Lobster when I was in high school," shared 420saralou. "We would occasionally help out the servers and bus tables and clean the area for the next guest. No problem. Until you get to that table with kids... Food everywhere, water spilled everywhere, like are wolves raising these tiny adults? I make a point to stack my dishes at the end of the table, all nice and neat, the table is wiped clean, ready to go for the busser. I have also taught my kids this rule. This mama didn't raise no a-holes! Everyone should be required in life to work [in] retail, customer service, or [the] food industry. There would be [fewer] entitled people in this world! Rule #1: THE CUSTOMER IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT."

Viral Thread: Neighbor Leaves Rude Note on Car For Parking in Front of Their House, The Internet is Heavily Divided Over Who is Wrong


An exchange between two neighbors has gone viral after one of the neighbors posted screenshots of their exchange online. Responses to the thread have been mixed as the internet is divided over who is to blame.

This thread was posted to r/mildlyinfuriating by Redditor u/kayaniv with the title "Our neighbor doesn't like it if anyone parks on the street in front of their house." There the thread has earned 16.4k upvotes. 

Initially, commenters seemed to be taking the side of the thread's poster, who claimed that their neighbor was unreasonable for their repeated requests that they not park on the street in front of their house.

Other perspectives emerged in the thread, with commenters starting to poke holes in the poster's narrative. It all started with the captions that were on the posted images:

"We are both trying to work from home with a newborn at home," the poster notes on the first image. "Meanwhile, our neighbor has a problem whenever someone parks on the street in front of their house."

"The cleaning ladies parked in the shade one day, and that got them mad," the second image explains.

"They lost their sh!t when our nanny tried parking in front of our next neighbor's house," describes the third image. "Her car was 6 inches closer to them than they liked. Again, inches, not feet."

There is something about the tone of these messages that some commenters picked up on that made them stop and pause for a moment. These, combined with other responses in the thread from the poster, started to paint a different picture: "Did you even read my comment fully?" "Read the captions." (Worth noting here, these captions only load correctly on Reddit's App) "You misspelled amuse." Responses like that leave a bad taste in your mouth about the poster's narrative.

It's also worth mentioning the other context clues we have here that some commenters have addressed. Like, do they really have a full-time nanny who drives a black BMW SUV? We just are not talking about the tax bracket readers might first have pictured here. 

The nanny drives a BMW SUV, they have a full-time nanny when they are both working from home, and she's parking in front of the neighbor's house every day. Ok, that's kind of annoying. Right?

This kind of thing could grate on a relationship with even the best neighbors. Especially if you've tried addressing it with them peacefully and they're too entitled to listen to you. 

If even Totoro kept parking his damn Cat Bus in front of my house, I'd start getting frustrated too. You know?

Not to mention the other issue here seems to be that the "cleaning ladies" (plural) park in front of the neighbor's house. Why can't they park in front of the house they're serving? The neighbor's note even gives us some context here and states that there's room there. Why is this guy so adamant that his servants park down the street from his house?

I can't believe I'm saying this... It always feels weird to me when things turn out this way; we're so used to taking the narrator's side. But the neighbor has a point here, regardless of whether they approach the situation incorrectly. What do you think?
