'They tried to nickel and dime me': Tennant ditches out on lease because of dodgy landlord and their cheap tactics

One of the best parts about renting is when you wind up trapped in a terrible house with a useless slug-like landlord, contractually obligated to continue paying a real-life Jabba the Hutt a (significant) portion of your paycheck. At the same time, they do little to ensure they're delivering you a marketable and inhabitable product. In most places, there's only an escape from this entrapment with arduous process or extreme circumstances. Since the landlord often holds a hefty security deposit over your head, you can't just pack up and leave either —unless the landlord makes the grave error of neglecting to countersign before showing their true colors. 

That's what happened when this tenant, Redditor u/TheBreakUp2013, realized they needed to get out their lease—and fast. Their landlord and management had started playing a game with them in order to weasel them out of more cash but sealed their incompetence by neglecting to countersign the lease in the first place.

'[She] slammed it 5 times as hard as she could': Rebellious teenager keeps slamming door, parents take the door off the frame

I mean, they do say actions have consequences...

 

In many instances within Reddit's thriving AITA community, when parents infringe on their children's right to privacy, the parents are often 99.999% likely to be the jerks in that scenario. However, this time, this was a situation in which the teenager may have had it coming. This thread was written by u/The-Compliment-Fairy, and let's just say that after several warnings and discussions about the inconsiderate ways in which her daughter slams the door at night and wakes everyone else up, by the time her daughter yelled and slammed it 5 times in a row, we were all on the mother's side. The fact that she went to school the next day and was so shocked to find that her parents had responded to her actions as promised just goes to show how entitled she was acting. Hopefully, she learned a lesson and doesn't grow up slamming the door at night as an adult too.

‘She viewed me like some kind of servant, and the fact her mom didn't correct her didn't sit right with me’ : Retail worker teaches customer's entitled Karen kid a lesson

Retail customers are exhausting, but when they bring their entitled brat children into the store with them, it's a whole other ballgame. One woman was working at her first retail job, thus encountered many Karens… but this particular one was actually a kid. Of course, not all parents are necessarily good at parenting, and this story represents that obvious lack of guidance, which was sorely needed.

This kid is gonna grow into a full-sized Karen one day if her mother doesn't know how to teach her basic manners. OP decided to take matters into her own hands. When the kid was being disrespectful and yelling at her NOT to bag her toy, OP did the exact opposite, right in front of their face. What ensued was a dramatic outburst, but a lesson well taught (AKA, petty revenge). Scroll down for the full story.

'Am I really wrong here?': Newlywed doesn't want husband to cut honeymoon short despite his SIL's car accident

This one has a twist in the comments no one was expecting. On the surface, this is the story of an immature, heartless newlywed who didn't want her precious honeymoon cut short by the realities of life after her new husband's brother and sister-in-law were involved in a horrible accident. 

 

But if you look through the comments on her thread, which were posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, there's much more shadiness involved with the husband. Why does he refuse to divulge details about the accident? Why does he refuse to let his wife hear updates from his phone calls? Why does she have to be on an entirely different floor when he takes those calls? Something's definitely fishy, and of course, this had the ruthless judges of the AITA community jumping to some pretty intense conclusions. Keep scrolling to have a look for yourself! When you're finished, here's another story about a Redditor who discovered their CEO was their half-brother.  

‘Figure it out': 22-year-old college girl gets financially cut off when her judgmental father finds out she's been working as a stripper for extra cash

Working to pay your way through college is exhausting and extremely difficult. Not only are you just learning how to live on your own– buying groceries, doing laundry, balancing life/work/everything else –but you're a hormonal basket-case that's hellbent on accidentally ruining your own life with drunken mistakes, failing to pay your utilities on time, and taking that required gender studies course. Now when finances are an added concern, things get ever trickier because you're attempting to play a game that's completely rigged. Do you take student loans or do you get a job on top of your studies? 

For one college girl, a 22 year old who's father promised to help her out with a few bills through her college experience, she was faced with an impossible task. Because she needed a little extra money to help pay for things at school, she went out and got a job as a night club dancer (technically an exotic dancer). The dancing was fun, the hours were short, and she made a killing in tips, which made stripping the perfect part-time job any college girl! Until…

…She got snitched on. 

Her father found out that she was a stripper because his skeezy coworker saw her dancing one night. Her dad completely flipped out and pulled the rug out from under her. Although he had agreed to pay for her car payment through school, he revoked his assistance to pay for the car because she refused to quit her stripper job for a more "dignified" career path. Although she had planned to quit at graduation, the dad simply was not having it. Was he the TA for this one? Or was it warranted that he take away certain financial luxuries from his already struggling collegiate daughter?
