People don't quit jobs: They quit managers. A sentiment that we've echoed across the pages of Fail Blog more times than I dare to count.

Teenager Pranks Aunt by Throwing Paint at her $20K Coat, Aunt Takes Niece to Court
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would defend someone with a $20K coat. But I guess when teenagers try to pull pranks without understanding that actions have consequences, anything is fair game.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and let's just say that I went on a full emotional journey from envy to shock. At first, I thought I would have no sympathy for someone who married into a very wealthy family and was casually gifted a $20K coat for Christmas like it was no big deal. However, leave it to the Gen-Z prankers of TikTok to make me actually feel sorry for this woman. Keep scrolling below for the full account of how the Redditor was pranked and how she enacted revenge of her own by suing the heck out of her niece.

Update: 'Parents have disinvited me': Immature husband throws a fit when in-laws don't send him his own invitation to Christmas, gets couple disinvited
The proverbial phrase "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" feels incredibly relevant when discussing invitations to Christmas celebrations — what with the whole gift-giving thing and all. Still, one might consider repurposing this into something that directly fits the occasion. I'm thinking something along the lines of "Don't interpret an invitation on the recipient line." — or something of that nature.
Like, your name's already on the invitation dude. It's not normal to send couples multiple invitations to things, and, quite frankly, I've never heard of families ever sending out formal Christmas invitations at all. What family actually does that?
I fully opened up this thread expecting to see that his wife's family had sent her an invitation but omitted his name entirely. The fact that his name was on the invitation pretty much rests this case before it's even opened; dude just wants there to be a problem. What's your take?

‘Don’t Be Petty’ : Man Tells Angry Wife After He Got Impulsive Tattoo of Best Friends Zodiac With Lyrics to a Love Song
Talk about awkward. From the outside, relationships can look pretty picture perfect. Nobody is airing their dirty laundry on social media (Yes fine, we all know that couple, but let's talk about the rule, not the exception). Reddit is a bit of a different story because you can pretty much post things anonymously. Nobody is gonna recognize that avatar you designed with blue wavy hair, sparkly wind goggles, and a Dracula cape, as the 'real you'. Basically, you can be whoever you wanna be.
That's probably a good thing, because when you do spill some of your juicy secrets online… people can get pretty invested. That's what Reddit is for, people who like to pass the time handing out their opinions on the internet. As it just so happens, I'm one of those people. Earlier today, I was scouring the subreddit 'AITA', and oh boy did I find something interesting… After you read it, you'll probably join the general consensus that this story is a little sketchy…
See, if my imaginary husband (Still a single pringle) was grieving a friend moving away to the point where he gets a tattoo of the dude's zodiac sign, along with lyrics to the love song 'Maybe when I'm older'… I might be a tad bit suspicious, to say the least. We (and by 'we' I mean the commenters and myself) think that OP (Original Poster) was not expecting the backlash he received, as he actually removed the post. But don't worry, I got the screenshots to prove it happened. Scroll down and have a look for yourself.
