It's hard to get inside the mind of the kind of person who thinks it's reasonable to request a live-in babysitter for little to no pay. It doesn't strike as intuitive, the kind of thinking that results in an an unjustifiably angry customer leaving a poor review because a breakfast place isn't open at 6 pm. It's little things like these that make us forever mystified by the machinations of entitled people and their fantastically bold moves.
It's totally fine to like things. It's great to be involved with a community. There are big communities of people who like things. But when that community's number one goal is to fawn over what a single pop star had for dinner that day, or insist that they had no direction in life before they bought their exercise bike? That's enteringcult status. And like this Tumblr thread says, the cults are coming.
This guy really needs to get it together. If that's even an option for him at this point. Gotta feel for him with his disability but if he has been out of work since 2013 and hasn't made any attempts to get something going for himself then what more can you really do?
It's one thing to need support. It's another thing to be a deadbeat. But when you cross that line and start taking serious advantage of your partner and resort to stealing their stuff... you are beyond hope.
Time for her to get going and make moves.
Your eyes will roll and your mom will lol. These dad-tacular dads are killing it with the comedy.
It's pretty ridiculous the stuff that these guys can come up with. I guess a nondescript amount of time raising kids will drive you to some insane lengths in order to find some semblance of joy.
Regardless, this clever collection will give you some laughs for certain.

Sometimes your true family isn't blood-related. We can't count the number of stories we have seen where the connection between "family" members ended with their blood. Sometimes you have to choose your family and sometimes, if you're lucky, your family will choose you.
This trans-daughter is incredibly fortunate to have her brother and sister-in-law in her life. Her parents though sound like absolutely terrible human beings.
The ol' 2222 to Toulouse. Would it be better if a human being were saying it? Or would it be even more confusing? Hopefully someone knew what they were doing when they scheduled that flight. Otherwise it just sounds like a glitch.
This is the stuff that nightmares are made of. I mean, just take a LOOK at that... thing. If that popped out of my closet in the middle of the night I would never be sleeping with the lights off again.
This has to be on of the most legendary pranks of all time especially since it caused her roommate to move out of the house. That's some real stuff right there.
What happens when a very stoppable force meets an immovable object? Well, you end up with a broken baseball bat and a couple of angry idiots who have met their match with an indestructible hunk of metal.
This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to happen when a couple of idiots are going around causing wanton destruction. Some men might just want to watch the world burn but we can put them in their place with things like ultra-reinforced mailboxes.
The best part is the additional stories in the comments. It's crazy how many people have had to resort to something like this.

Give a sheepdog something to herd and by god it will herd that thing. In this case it was a little lawn care robot. That is a smart dog. Under the right circumstances, pets find ways to do creepily intelligent things. And there's something about roombas that make them seem more than just a mindless robot. For example, here Tumblr explores human nature with the concept of a "knife roomba."
Man, this family sucks. Hard core. Sounds like a really toxic group to be a part of. There is no part of them that should even consider asking this sister to reschedule her wedding when she has had the date saved for two years. Suddenly, her entitled brother just gets to come in and schedule his date over the top of it.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most impressively wholesome things that people have witnessed. These might temporarily restore your faith in humanity. At the very least, it's enough shining moments of humans being genuinely awesome that the good feels flow.
More and more history is being made every day, so naturally people are gonna make history memes about it. Sure, it's probably more helpful to learn about the Spanish Inquisition in an actual book, but history memes are pretty good too. They're like 90 percent as good, probably. Yeah, that sounds right.
Man, people are tough. You know?
It's crazy how you can love someone so deeply despite being confronted with their glaringly obvious flaws. In some funny way, those things can actually make you more attracted to them and love them even more.
Sometimes those things are a huge red flag and a huge turnoff and they might not come up until years into a relationship. Only emerging when some particularly unique situation coaxes it out of the depths of their personality.
It's one of the crazy things about any sort of relationship. It's easy to fool yourself into the false security of the fact that everyone else thinks and views the world as you do. It's almost like the default setting our brain goes into when dealing with other people. In reality, it couldn't be further from the truth.
We come across our fair share of 'entitled parent' content, and we wish we could say that there is a limit to how much entitled parent content the internet can take. Unfortunately for us, the limit does not exist. It seems that every dark corner of the interwebs is filled with ridiculous stories about parents forcing their own ideals upon their children, and not allowing them to flourish and develop into their own selves. Take this scenario for example, OP went against his parents wishes in life and his upcoming wedding to a woman they do not approve of is the final straw. Upon arriving to a friendly dinner that was originally planned to be a pleasant meal accompanied by a discussion on the wedding budget, OP's parents do a 180 and suggest cancelling the wedding altogether. It only gets worse, check out the below thread for all the juicy details.
Just a quick reminder that you're great, and the english language actually supports that theory!
Why do we get joy out of seeing things in other things? Is it because we want to imagine we're surrounded by friendly objects? Is it because it's like a fun visual puzzle? Maybe it's because we're just wired to see faces? It's very apparent in these inanimate objects with a whole lot of personality.
This fun Tumblr thread spotlights the fact that it actually can pay off to keep that mental warehouse stocked with random bits of knowledge. So learn all the random knowledge that you can! Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread that traces the history of how cats became domesticated.
It's easy to assume that everyone is dumb and as a society we're all completely screwed. And then you look at people's spelling and you're just surprised that we've lasted as long as we have. So buckle down and put on those stupid-resistant goggles, cause here comes some white-hot spelling fails that gave words a hard time.
Nothing warms our hearts like seeing a blatant liar get caught up in their web of dumb lies. This lady sounds like she was a real entitled handful from the very start. She claimed to know the apartment owner, issued threats about the employee losing their job, and ultimately got disproven in record time.
Ah, yes, the wonderful old "blursed image", where cursed meets blessed, and makes us feel uncomfortable while strangely comforted at the same time. You just have to see these blursed images to know what we're talking about.
Check out these weird cursed images to feel uncomfortable about.
People are just absolutely determined to hang onto any glimpse of power, aren't they?
This kid thinks that, through no merit or achievement of his own, he is better than his father's employees. Just because he happened to be born into the small-town dealership "royalty".
He'll be in for a wake-up call if he ever has to go out into the world on his own and make things work for himself. Let's be honest though, that's not very likely to happen.
Guy is a total a-hole but not as bad as this daycare owner who threatened her employee.
This teacher must be teaching a class in petty pro-revenge. Everything about the way that he approaches this situation just screams of a wounded ego. At no point in this story does it sound like he is trying to do the right thing, he is out to right the wrongs that he perceives have been done against him.
That's what makes this whole scenario a little bit petty. He should have just reported it to the department and let the consequences of their actions take their course. But his approach certainly does have more style.

I'm really not even sure how I would react in this situation. There's nothing worse than having to confront your dear sweet-old grand mother after a debaucherous night of fun. The biggest part of the FU in this situation was probably assuming that your older relatives wouldn't be up and starting their day at the crack of dawn. No surprise that they're already partway through their day when you decide to get out of bed.
Nothing better than an awkward family encounter to cap off a wedding.
Am I the only one here who immediately has red flags raising about the camera being "lost"? I'd be willing to wager a handsome sum that it's sitting in a pawn shop somewhere and the funds are in the sister-in-law's pocket... or have already been contributed towards one kind of habit or another.
If it has actually been lost then at the very least the sister in law needs to be held accountable for the fact that she lost someone else's valuable property (that they did not consent to her taking).
Also, what's with the spouses in these stories never sticking up for their partner?
Life is filled with hard lessons and this definitely is going to be one for this girl. It sounds like she had a very close relationship with her father's brother, to the point that he was willing to fund her college tuition. To do what she has done to someone who you have a close and trusting relationship with is a cruel betrayal.
Her behaviour here is absolutely out of line and, quite frankly, a little twisted. She deserves to learn this painful lesson for her mistakes. Hopefully she can use the time she was using to pull the pranks to get a scholarship.
There's a certain feeling you get when something is stacked just right or matches up oh so perfectly. Maybe it's because the world is chaotic and confusing and we find pleasure in some semblance of order. Maybe it's just some intangible aesthetically pleasing thing to see such clean lines in real life. Either way it makes people feel satisfied to see images of graceful perfection. And on the other end, oh man is it blood-boiling and frustrating to see imperfect things.
This collection of abandoned killing machines is a pretty fascinating scroll. If you have any interest in military machinery then take a gander.
It's incredible that these advanced pieces of machinery could end up as a decorative footnote to the force of nature. These once pinnacles of technology are now collecting rust in a field somewhere. Beautiful!
When it's all said and done we're just grateful that the good players in this gnarly tale were able to find their greener pastures. You hate to see a company get greedy and screw over people on the money that they absolutely deserve. It's honestly surreal that this company had the audacity to cut the employee's salary in half like they did.
Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't the best idea to let these people be solely responsible for a motorized object. You know? Maybe, just maybe, we should have some types for licensing systems in place to keep things like this from happening.
Nothing like having an idiot behind the wheel of a 2-ton hunk of metal that is being propelled by thousands of tiny explosions and screaming along at 100 mph.

When you're a new manager in a team, no matter what size, it's always best to spend a given length of time observing before making changes. That length of time can vary wildly depending on the complexity and scale of the operation but, at the very least, it's best to give it a few weeks.
It gives you time to learn from experienced employees (who definitely know more than you do) and can keep you from making too many significant mistakes.
Kudos to this line manager for just going with it when outvoted and thereby proving her point and showing the new director that she knew better.
